SEE MURPHY As

IF it were not too suggestive of sus-

Mott-Smith to send. the department

performance of The Man of the Hour

night" remarked a gentleman who
saw the play in New York. The
moral is wholesome and it would steer
the boys clear from graft"
If there was any talk of graft in
Honolulu this might be good thing.
Horrigan, who is a real boss, could
give them points in the line, but they
would wish to come out better than
did this man of nerve. Mr.. Murphy,
in whose hands this role has been
placed, probably never did anything
better than Horrigan, and it is doubt
full if there is anyone in the Terri

when he wishes to be particularly en-
phatic in his efforts to assert himself
one may see the veins in his neck swell
to a point that is suggestive of the
elder Booth when he played Richard.
Mr. Adams might have secured the
services of better man, but he would
have to have gone to the Coast to get
him. Everyone in the cast plays OPP

he is on the stage the audience will

Special reference is made to Mr..
Murphy because of his careful rendi-

knows marbles--there is nothing in q
part that will confuse him, for he
grasps his subject directly he gets his
hands on the book. At a glance he
has dress, face makeup and business
complete so that he is ready to go on
at the call.
There is nothing lacking in the cast
of this play; the best in the city was

Mallett of the ship Hawaiian Isles,
from Australia, thinks the Pitcairn Is

number of men came off in boats and
dickered for civilized provisions. II
was finally agreed to trade a boat load
of provisions for a boat load of fresh
fruit. Captain Mallett delivered the
provisions, but when he demanded the
fruit the islanders declared it was
against their religion to work on Sun
day. AS the captain couldn't wait he
was forced to sail without the fruit.

CHANGE Of VENUE
ASKED BY BARNES
ATTORNEYS IN MURDER CASE
DECLARE DEFENDANT CAN
NOT GET FAIR TRIAL.

/ Motion for change of venue in the
Barnes murder case was made this
morning by the attorneys for the de-
fendant, E. +. Barker, E. c. Mills, and
Oscar Cain. The motion asks that the
defendant be given trial in some other
county in the state, as the attorneys
state they believe lie cannot get a fair
trial here.
The motion is accompanied by affi-
davts sworn to by f. c. Mills. Oscar
Cain, A. H. Harris and Andreas Bard.
The gist of their atfidavits is that they
have heard adverse criticism of the de-
fense of insanity, that they have heard
remarks made that the defendant
should be hung, that hostility towards
the jury has been expressed because
they did not return verdict of guilty,
and that there is a general air of hos
tility towards the defendant and that
he cannot, in their opinion, get a fair
trial here.
The motion will be contested by
Prosecuting Attorney Rupp, who will
file an answer saying that he believes
the defendant can obtain a fair trial
here. Just when the matter will come
before Judge Brents is hard to say, but
nj all probabilities it will be before the
case comes to trial next Wednesday,
it may not be until that time.
What the decision in the matter will
be is impossible to tell until it is ar
gued and the decision rendered, al
though it is possible it will be granted.
