No lover Of strong, forceful, virile
melodrama should miss The Great
Conspiracy" which is to be presented
tonight at the Orpheum for the first

the defrauding Of a country boy and
his mother, who sell their Ohio farm,

paltry sum, and the other acts dealing

kauai TROUBLE

Governor Frear this morning con-
firmed the fact that there is serious
trouble between the McBryde and the
Koloa plantations on Kauai, but de-
clined to discuss it except to say that
he had strong hopes of being able to
have the companies settle the trouble
in the usual way In the courts and
not result to violence
Inasmuch as both of the plantations
in question are privately owned and
the Government has no interest what
ever, it Is difficult to see just how the
Governor can be expected to intervene
except in the way of forcibly suppress
ing disorder by means of the militia
or otherwise.
The trouble between the plantations
is over water rights Of a certain
stream, and reports from there yes
terday indicate that both sides had a
patrol of several hundred men on the
scene and that a clash was imminent
The forces are practically all Japanese
on both sides.

1T seems strange, does IS not, that

SHARK CAPTAIN
IS HEARD FROM
JACK LONDON'S SAILING MASTER
SENDS A LETTER TO HONOLULU
FRIENDS.

Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Weston, better
known as "Scotty' and his wife, are
in receipt of a letter from Captain j.
L. Warren of Jack London's wonderful
ketch, the Shark, which spent several
months here.
Captain Warren writes to his good
friends here from Tahiti under date
of January and says in part:
Doubtless you think that | have for
gotten Honolulu, such is not the case
nevertheless. We had long passage
down to Nukiheva where we spent
twelve days, arriving here December
27.
81 see by the papers that quite Il
number Of people predict tnat we will
never get here. They must base their
idea on the size Of the Shark, knowing
nothing of her sea-going qualities
whatever.
Il am sure that if / had the remotest
idea that we should be lost |, for one,
would not have shipped
We have to have our engine fixed
up again.
Nearly everybody thinks that Jack
does not intend to continue the trip.
If they would only stop and think they
would readily see his spending thou
sands on the vessel that he does not
have any idea of giving up at this
stage Of the game"

 T couldn't feel to let 1t go under $600." he said, with the mild obsti- macy that characterized all his deal ings with his fellow men. Tt wouldn't be right"

VIRGINIA ALWAYS GREAT STATE
Her History interwoven with That of
 the Country.

By the census of 179O Virginia con- tained a population approximating 750,000, or more than one-fifth of all the people then in the United States, about one-third of this number being negroes, of whom 12,000 were free
 Comparing the returns with the pres ent population of the commonwealth (2,100.O00(, the nasty conclusion is drawn that the increase has been ex- ceptionally slow, but this view loses sight of the fact that in 1790 the. fig ures embraced all the persons living in the territory now covered by West Virginia and Kentucky; and 1t should be taken into account that the Old Dominion contributed largely to the settlement of Illinois and Missouri. and Alabama, Tennessee and Florida as well. Even among the pioneers of Iowa, California and Minnesota many names can be found whose bearers were first Americanized in the settle ments on the banks of the James and her original geographical proportions she would rank easily as first in the family of states Generously prolific of offshoots from the parent stem, there still remains a goodly crop of sons and daughters under the ancient roof tree, amid the diminished acres of her original domain. In 1860 large ly more than one-half of the senators and representatives in congress were of Virginia birth, or were the sons or grandsons of men to her manor born.

 Among other characteristic objects of the region is a wooden dance drum carved from a log of palm wood, The handle is considerably above the cen ter When the drum is grasped by the left hand it hangs at an angle that brings the head in convenient po- sition to be reached by the right hand. The head of the drum Is of snake skin, and is usually beaten with the fingers. On the lower end of the drum Is a form of decoration common to most of the islands of the South Seas. Expressions of the carved de- signs are filled with lime.
 Trumpets used by the natives are made from the shell of triton, . hole being made in one of the upper whorls for the mouthpiece.
 Native knives in the collection are made with wooden handles and blades of obsidian, or volcanic glass. There Is an elaborately carved dagger made from the leg bone of a casso- wary, a pan pipe of reeds and a lime gourd and spatula for holding and mixing the shell lime which is chewed with the betel. The decoration on the gourd has been burned in.

ODD GHOST HOUSES
UNIQUE COLLECTION FROM THE
 SOUTH SEA ISLANDS.
Papuan Dwellings of Spirits Come Into the Possession of the Museum of Natural
 History.

The new west wing of the museum of natural history at New York city, which has just been completed, Is soon to receive a unique collection of objects of exceptional ethnological in- terest, valued at $1O,OOO recently ac- quired, which had been gathered by Prof. Eugene Schroeder, in the Bis. marck archipelago, in the South Seas
 Many of the objects in the collection are becoming scarce by reason of the intercourse of the natives with Euro pean and American traders. The na- tive inhabitants of the archipelago are cannibals. They belong to the Papuan race, and wear little clothing, usually a band about the hips, and often not even that. Their ear ornaments are so heavy sometimes that they draw the lobe of the ear down to the shoul- ders. They are also accustomed to pierce the nose to wear ornaments of bone.
 Ghost. or taboo" houses are scat tered through the islands, as the Pa puans believe that departed spirits seshNC poii' III tuC SNCulS LII tHS udy. In typical ghost house the frame work consists of posts and rafters of wooden or bamboo poles, the roof and sides being thatched with grass, and only one side is partly closed. The "malagans," or idols, are kept in these ghost houses.
 Dr. Charles w. Mead of the depart ment of anthropology of, the museum said that these malagans represented evil spirits or devils, and their .propi- hation was the only religion of the people. A ceremonial dance at stated times was performed about the ghost houses. Women were seldom allowed to take part in it. There was another mystic ceremony, known as the init" dance, performed by men, who went through certain rites to the accompani- ment of barbarous songs, notes of the pan pipes and the din of shell trum- pets and drums. From witnessing this ceremony women were prohibited un- der penalty of death.

 The motives of the carvings are the human figure, animals, birds and fishes, all distorted or conventional ized. The colors used in decoration are red, black and white.
 The most highly-prized object in the collection is an ancient death drum, or "nunut." This rare specimen is carved from log of some hard, dark wood, probably species of palm. Each of its three tongues produces a note of different pitch from the oth- CTS.

Dean Ramsay could not countenance profanity. but he managed to tell some good stories of . weakness which af- flicted many in his time:
 "A late duke of Athol had invited . well-known character, writer of Perth, to come up and meet him at Dunksld for the transaction of some business. Tho duke mentioned the day and hour when he should receive the man of law, who accordingly came punctually at the appointed time and place. But the duke had forgotten the appointment and had gone to the hill, from which he could not return for some hours. A Highlander pres ent described the Perth writer's in- dignation and his mode of showing it by most elaborate course of swear ing But whom did he swear at?' was the inquiry made of the narrator, who replied: Oh, he didna sweer at ony thing particular, but juist stude in ta middle of ta road and swoor at lairge l have from friend also an anecdote which shows how entirely at one period the practice of swearing had become familiar even 10 female ears when mixed up with the inter course of social life.
