MACKENZIE GORDON

Tickets are now on sale at Wall,
Nichols Co. for the Mackenzie Gordon
song recital, which takes place at the
Opera House next Thursday evening.
No one who enjoys good music should
miss this concert as it is one of the
few real good things that has come to
Honolulu
Mr.. Gordon recently made a tour up
and down the Pacific Coast. Every
where he was received most enthus-
iastically. The following notice Of one
OF his recitals is taken from the Oak
land Enquirer:
Mackenzie Gordon is one of those
tenors of whom people in this part of
the country occasionally dream, but
who are seldom heard, His singing
aroused enthusiasm such as has not
been seen in Oakland in many day.
And he seemed to enjoy ii, too, for he
sang one song after another. as if to
show appreciation Of his hearty recep-
ton.
Voice, art and temperament such as
mis- are rarely the endowment of ono
singer in such generous measure as
They are his. 1t matlered little what
he sang all We're SO beautifully done
that the healor was carried away by

present last evening missed hearing an
artist of the lrst caliber at his best.

GIFTS CHRISTIANITY,
P20SE(UIES WIFE
COmplaisant HuSband's
Sudden VirtuOus
Indignation

kaimana has contracted spirit Of
Christianity and a desire to prosecute
his wife, Keawe Kama Kaimana, on
whose earnings of prostitution he has
been living, for fornication These
harmonious facts were brought out at
the hearing before the United States
Commissioner this morning.
John A. Rothwell has been living
with the woman, and it appears has
been unwittingly supporting the com
plalsant husband, But something
must have happened to anger the com
PLEASANT one, and he went to the Unit
ed States authorities and complained
Of Rothwell and the woman. Both
appeared in court this morning. The
husband, who says he has become
converted and now is filled with the
Split of Christianity, was the witness
against the couple. He testified that
he new for months that his wife and
RothWell were living together, that
he often visited the house at night
and saw the two together.
The woman testified that her hus-
band has not done a stroke of work
for three months, but has been con-
tent to live off her earnings. Roth
well conducted his own defense and
that of the woman. In the end Com
missioner Hatch bound Rothwell and
the woman over, under nominal bond
to await the action of the Grand Jury
But when the Grand Jury acts it is
as liable to bring in a true bill against
Kaimana as it is against the wife and
Rothwell. The court and all the of.
iicers were very much of the opinion
that the one who should be prosecuted
is the husband, whose suddenly &C.
quired virtue COmpels him to peach
On his wife and the man who has bcan
paying his board. United States Dis.
trict Attorney BreckOns states that he
will bring the matter to the attention
Of the Grand Jury.

FRENCH CRIMINAL STATISTICS.
Recent Epidemic Of Crimes of Vio'
lence in Paris.

Special Cablegram to The star
PARIS. May lathe recent epidemic OF
crimes of violence In Paris, mainly due 10
the Apaches or Hooligans of the metropolis
gives special interest to report on the
criminal statistics of France which has
been presented to the president OF the re-
public and the minister Of justice. The
anxiety aroused by the increase in this
category of crime is not confined to Paris,
as some other great centers, such as Mar
seille. have likewise been terrorized by or
panized bands. The growing audacity OF
the latter. together with the practical i'm
nnnity which they seem to enjoy In some
districts, will doubtless have contributed
to the decision Of so many French Juries to
appeal for the maintenance of the death
penalty It Is reported that the Paris pre-
feet of police is about to appeal to the gov
eminent for increased powers of domiciliary
search as the only effective means OF check
ing crimes concerted by bands OF profess
sional criminals known to the ponce.
The report of the minister of justice,
which admits the gravity of this evil, will,
1t is hoped, promote the adoption OF more
effective remedial measures. According to
this report murder and homicide alone show
n serious increase among crimes against
the person. This, the minister says, Is all
the more deplorable. as the figures for 1904
show not only an increase over 1903, but
over those of the preceding five years.
The gradual increase in the number of
those accusations comedies with still
more significant recent increase In homi-
cides and murders that have not led to any
prosecution. AS matter of fact IL in adj
ditfon to the crimes that have been follow

This village has small population of

fantry arrived in the village and. seeing
the burned granaries, asked the farmer If
there was any agitation among the peas

no agitation. but that the peasants of the

he presented 10 the officer in command a

Algeciras Act Put in Question by
German Pretensions,

Special Cablegram to The Star.
.TANGIER, May 13.-Sid Mohammed ell
Torres has contracted for the drainage
works and the construction of boulevard
with the firm of Renschenhaus, whose esti-
mate amounts to $225.OO0. The diplomatic
body had adopted the view that these
works could only be undertaken by adjudi-
cation. This also Is believed to be most
clearly indicated in the text of the Alge-
ciras act. In the French-German agree
ment of September, 1908, 1t was provided
that the contracts given to French and
German firms should be Of equal value.
The increase in the estimate of the Lariche
works destroys the balance to the advan-
tage Of Germany to the extent of nearly
80 per cent.
1t is persistently rumored that the Ger
man contractors intend to negotiate direct
ly with the Maghzen for the construction at
Tangier of a large breakwater which would
be contrary to the Algeciras act The atti-
tude of DIR. Rosen has caused astonishment,
and regret Is expressed that the Algeciras
act has been put In question by German
pretensions.

CANAL BAN LIFTED.
Suez Committee Will Withdraw OBJ

Special Csblegram to The Star.
CAIRO. May 13-.The Suez canal COM
mittee has decided to withdraw the regu-
lations prohibiting the passage through
the canal of tank steamers carrying ben
zoin or petrol in bulk.
This decision Is of the greatest import
ance to motor-car owners. motor omnibus
companies and all traders and others using
vehicles, as it is expected that the price
of petrol will be reduced by nearly so per
cent.
The chief supplies of the spirit come
from the Dutch East Indies, and In partic-
ular from Sumatra; and hitherto the tank
steamers carrying it have been obliged to
make their journey by way of the Cape.
This, of course, besides necessitatihg
their carrying less benzoin by reason of
the extra fuel required. meant that about
fifty seven days were taken, instead of the
thirty-one to thirty-three for the passage
via the Suez canal.
With the same number Of vessels it will
in the future be possible to bring over q
larger quantity Of benzoin.
