weird performance in the morgue OF
the Somerset hospital recently There
William e. Davenport, secretary to the
mayor of Newark and student OF

signs of life in the rigid body of Rob
ert Simpson, a former street car con-
ductor of Newark, who apparently died
after having been put into hypnotic
trance by Everton before large au-
dience at Somerville theater. Daven-
port failed. Simpson was declared OFF,
cially dead, and an autopsy was held.
Meanwhile. charged with manslaugh-
ter unnerved and shaken, Everton re-
mains in prison, where he must await
the action Of the grand jury as Sc
quence to stage trick familiar
throughout this country and abroad.
1t was at the piteous insistence Of
Everton while In Jail after his inef-
fectual attempt to revive Simpson,
that Davenport, friend of Everton,
came into the case. Notwithstanding
the declarations of physicians that
Simpson was dead, Everton pleaded
that Davenport be allowed to revive
him.

CHAPTER xL.-contlnued.

It was beyond human endurance to
support the leaden death. The little
square of brass between the sights
wavered. Seagrue stumbled, doubled
en- his knees, and staggering plunged
loosely forward on the sand. Wits
pering Smith threw his fire toward
the bowlder behind which Sinclair
and Barney Rebstock had disappeared.
Suddenly he realized that the bullets
from the point were not coming his
way. He was aware of a second rife
duel above the bend. Wickwire, worm
ing his way down the stream, had un-
covered Sinclair and young Rebstock
from behind. A yell between the
shots rang across the wash, and the
cringing figure of a man ran out to-
ward Whispering Smith with his hands
high In the air, and pitched headlong
on the ground. 1t was the skulker,
Barney Rebstock, driven out by Wick
wires fire.
The shooting ceased. Silence fell
upon the gloom of the dusk Then
came calling between Smith and
Wickwire, and a signaling of pistol
shots for their companions. Kennedy
and Bob Scott dashed down toward
the river bed on their horses. Sea-
grue lay on his face. Young Reb-
stock sat with his hands around his
knees on the sand. Above him at
some distance, Wickwire and Smith
stood before man who leaned against
the sharp cheek of the bowlder at the
point. In his hands his rifle was held
across his lap just as he had dropped
on his knee to fire. He had never
moved after he was struck. His head,
dropping a little, rested against the
rock, and his hat lay on the sand; his
heavy beard had sunk into his chest
and he kneeled in the shadow, asleep.
Scott and Kennedy knew him. In the
mountains there was no double for
Murray Sinclair.
When he jumped behind the point to
pick Whispering Smith off the ledge
he had laid himself directly under
Wickwire's fire across the wash. The
first shot of the cowboy at 200 yards
had passed, as he knelt, through both
temples.

While this was going on a brilliant

Some Golf Notes :
y y Y Y Y y y y " " Y Y y Y Y Y

1t has never been properly explain
ed in the press, so says a local golfer,
that the ManOa cup tournament rep
resents the open championship of the
Hawaiian Islands.
Here are a few facts about the Ma
noa cup that many of the golfers who
are not regular Country Clubites, should
take notice of.
The Manoa cup remains always in
the clubhouse of the Oahu Country
Club.
The name of the winner each year
is inscribed on the cup.
The winner, each year, is given n
suitable souvenir of the event. George
Angus received a handsome silver
plate.
The tournament is open to every
resident on the Hawaiian Islands.
There is always a preliminary tour
nament in which the first sixteen play
ers are permitted to enter the final
tournament for the cup.
The preliminary tournament is alb
solutely open to all golfers who are
residents on any of the Hawaiian Is
lands and they are invited to enter.
The Country Club takes this oppor-
tunitv to show the best of its good
hospitality every year.
There was not as large a turnout
as there might have been had these
facts been brought more prominently
before the public. Let all golfers take
notice and do better next year.
A golfer from the British cruiser
Bedford stated that the Oahu Country
Club links were, without exception, the
sportiest to play on he had ever seen,
and this from widely travelled golf
enthusiast. He also said that he con
sidered conditions here simply ideal
for golf.

PROFESSIONALS
STILL SQUABBLING

The international match race is still
in the air. Nothing has been definitely
settled, mainly on account of the Tsu-
kamoto camp insisting on holding out
for a full Marathon distance. Just
where they get this idea it is hard
to say.
Bill Chiffon, manager of Jackson,
has tried to come to terms with them,
but without much success, so far as
could be learned last night. Chiffon
made a proposition that there will be
six prizes given, one for the man who
was first at the end of five miles, ten
miles, fifteen miles, twenty miles and
twenty-five miles, also the big prize for
the winner. But he made the requisite
proviso that no man should take prize
if he did not finish the race within
a time-limit of four hours
The Japanese contingent would not
take this offer. They do not seem to
want to take any offer except that
Tsukamoto shall have everything his
own way.
The ten-mile race as suggested would
be good one but, if the public is to
be bothered with the petty squabbles
of grasping managers for a year and
a half before the case comes off, it
would be a whole lot better to call
it off
Tt is about time to start some public,
free entry affairs ON the roads, any
way. Before long it will be time for
the anniversary of the Kalakaua ave
nue. walking race. Then will come the
race to Haleiwa. These events are run
by public committee and prizes are
donated by the merchants. Since the
local newspaper men started getting
them up we have had better, more at
tractive and better arranged public
events than all the professional affairs
put together.

The Symphony.

Word was received yesterday that
it will be impossible for the Constabu-
larry band to give a symphony concert
in the evening. 1t will, therefore, be
given as a matinee and persons who
have bought tickets for the symphony,
believing 1T would be an evening con-
cert, may have them exchanged by
presenting them at the box office at
the Orpheum. The symphony program
is to be sent from the transport by
wireless and will be made known on
arrival. There is to be a popular re-
quest concert given and in the half
page advertisement today will be found
the names of number of compositions
from which the public is asked to Sc
lect eight and hand them into the
business office of The Advertiser be-
fore noon today. The names selected
by the majority will constitute the
program for Popular Request" con-
cert. The Denver Post says of the
band on its appearance there:
1.-THE Philippines Constabulary band
came to Denver with a great flourish
of trumpets (no double entendre in
tended), and unlike so many loudly
heralded attractions, more than full
filled the eolorful promises of enthu-
siastic press representatives. The
two concerts at the Auditorium yester-
day were musical delights, and it will
be a sad reflection upon local dis
elimination if today's and tomorrow 8
programs are not heard by appreci-
alive crowds.
1t is not enough to say that the
Filipino aggregation is one of the
country's best bands, for there are SO
many rotten groupings of bad brass
running around that comparison loses
force It is fine band-in many
respects very great band-and by
reason of the individual and collective
artistry inspired. Captain Walter
Loving well deserves to rank with the
famous leaders of the world. Owing
to the fact that the majority of his
men are masters of several instru-
ments, Captain Loving is able to
present a symphony orchestra as well
as band, and offer programs that are
charmingly harmonious combinations of
widely differing compositions. The re-
suit is variety and charm, and a
greater distinction than usually at
taches TO a band concert. Last night,
for instance. brilliant audience list

Tannhauser' overture, the anvil chorus
