Regarded as Scheme.

Mr.. O'Brien told the court Mrs Schenk
believed the hiring Of detectives and other
measures taken by the prosecution were
q scheme by the relatives Of her husband
to have them divorced.
s. o. Boyce of counsel for the defense
argued IT would be impossible to get a
good jury the week before Christmas. az
all business men and clerks would he
busy then. The only reason for bringing
detectives here, he said. was to aid John
o. Schenk in securing divorce from his
wife.
Excitement was created by Mr.. Boyce's
implied charge of prejudice in the case
when he asked why there was no prelim-
mary hearing. looking first at Judge Jor-
dan and then at Prosecutor Handlan, and
pausing for reply. but neither answered.
He then Numbered:
THE whole purpose was to keep the
defense in the dark as to the exact ma
ture of the charges against Mrs. Schenk
as to the identity Of the states witnesses.
This whole proceeding has been remark
able, to say the least"

Charlie Pruett of Shofeld Barracks
Issues Challenge Through the
Bulletin-W Would Fight at
las Pounds, Anywhere

There will be some scrapping in
Honolulu in the near future II all
the challenges that are floating
around are accepted. The latest
aspirant for pugilistic honors is
Charlie Pruett of Leilehua. He is
a lad who boxes at 145 pounds, and
ne has written the But leti n to
the effect that he would like very
much to meet Wahilani in the
squared circle.
The SchoIeld Barracks boy is said
to be good one with the mitts, and
his manager, Corporal Taylor of
Troop b, Leilehua, would like to ar
range go with the Hawaiian.
They have fine hall out at the
barracks now, and contests OF all
kinds will be pulled off there in the
future. The cavalry boys are very
fond OF the boxing game, and they
have already arranged for Jack Nc
t'adden to take a run out there when
ne returns from Hilo.
Should Wahilani wish to connect
up with the cavalry representative
ne can do so by dropping line to
Manager Taylor, who will then pro-
| coed TO fix up all the details of the
affair.
1t Is a long time now since the
sound of the gentle mitt landing on
the ear Of would-be champion has
been heard In Honolulu. Hilo has
got the boxing craze now, and sew
sral contests have been brought off
there lately.
There are signs, however, that the
fans are getting hungry for some
more stoush, and before long there
should be something doing In the
local rings. IL may be that some OF
the old favorites like Reilly, Frankie
Smith or Dick Cullen will return be-
fore long. Cullen was matched to
fight Thorn couple of weeks age
at Sydney, and the incoming Austria
liam liner may bring us the result
of the fight. Should Cullen get
Iaway with Thorn, his stock will
soar, for Thorn has already defeat
ed Boer Unholz, and the latter is nc
SLOUGH.
Yes, the boxing game Is showing
signs OF life in Honolulu, and II
only needs a promoter to get in and
arrange a few matches. The fans
will do the rest, and there should be
some money in the game now, after
such a long interval.
