Excellent Entertainment

The M E. church was filled to
its utmost capacity last Saturday
night with the crowd who were SO
anxious to see and hear Shungo-
paw, the full- blood Moqui Indian,
and one thing sure, he certainly
made good. The first part of the
evening he devoted to sketch of
the lives and habits of his race in
their native homes on the mesas
OF Arizona. AT the close of the
sketch he asked to show his au-
dience a few of the white man 5
ricks, and he did too. He is a
magician of ability and equal to
any white man.
He was accompanied by his
daughter Juanita. who assists him
but on account of the series of
evangelistic services in progress
at the church and other circum-
stances. we did not have the
pleasure of hearing her. The peo.

NO RESPONDENT IN
THE RICHMOND CASE

Judge Clemons gave Lorrin Andrews
week in which to file brief in the
matter of Frank A. Richmond's obiee-
tion to the partial report of the grand
jury, yesterday Mr.. Andrews will cite
authorities to uphold the contention of
Mr.. Richmond, former principal of the
Hilo High School, that those sections of
the grand jury's report which reflected
upon him should be expunged.
The case is peculiar in that there is
no respondent, District-Attorney Breck-
ons taking the stand that he can not DO
anything with it because he is not the
grand jury. Some lawyers consider it
will be quite question as to whether
the grand jury can be ordered to
change its report in any way. They
say it is question of law whether a
federal judge can instruct a grand jury
to strike out any part OF its report.
The members of the grand jury are
scattered to the four winds, as they
are not called upon to meet again be
fore July 3. Foreman +. r. Greenwen
is in Hawaii and others are on other
Islands. 1t is thought that in any case
little can be done in the matter until
they come back.

KURTISTOWN POST
OFFICE IS ROBBED

Postoffice burglaries are the fashion
now, says the Hilo Tribune. This
island had its third burglary of this
kind within month last Sunday night,
when the postofice and store at Kurtis-
town, Olaa, was victimized, though the
case, as far as damage is concerned,
did not amount to much.
The postoffice is located in the store
of the A. G. Curtis Company, and Mr..
Curtis is positive that the burglary
must have been committed during
Sunday night, as he left the store at
five-thirty o'clock Sunday, and at that
time everything was in order. The
intruder first tried to enter through the
door, the lock of which shows signs
of having been tampered with, but he
was unsuccessful, and he finally gained
an entrance by smashing the lock OF
one of the big letter boxes, through
which he crawled into the building
The space through which he erawled
is so small that it seems certain that
the miscreant was a boy. Nothing be
longing to the postoffice was tampered
with, but from q cash drawer the in
truder took a dollar. He was evi
IDENTIFY working in the dark, or must
have been frightened away, for there
was more money in the same drawer
which was left untouched, as well al
some cash which was lying exposed OIL
a desk. Sheriff Pua has been notified
of the matter and will probably tak'
up the case in person.

SMASHES RECORD
FOR NAVIGATION
THROUGH THE AIR

MADRID, May 27.-All records for
distance were broken yesterday when
Pierre Vedrine reached this city in his
monoplane from Paris, a distance of
seven hundred and twenty-one miles.
The former long distance record was
held by Mons. Tabuteau with 365 miles
to his credit.
The actual time for the 721 miles
during flight was twelve hours and
eighteen minutes, or a trife less than
mile minute. The entire time occu-
pied in the flight from Paris to Madrid
was thirty-seven hours and twenty
seven minutes.
King Alphonso was one of the thou
sands who witnessed the successful
ending of this record breaking flight
and has conferred on the aviator a
much sought after decoration.
This is not the first time that We'd
rine has distinguished himself in aerial
navigation. During the last week in
March he made a. sustained fight from
Poitiers to Paris, a distance of 20S
miles, at the terrific speed of ninety
three miles an hour. The flight was

MEMBERSHIP.

The Sheffield Choir membership
showed it was Enthusiastically and typi-
cally English, and although the Zea-
landia brought them into port late in
the afternoon, the choristers strolled
leisurely up town to the operahouse.
AS the Zealandia came up the chan
mel the choir was greeted with the
strains of band music. The Hawaiian
band, under the leadership of Captain
Berger, was stationed at the end of
the Alakea wharf and played several
lively airs and received rounds of APP
plause from those aboard. When
Madame Alapai sang "Aloha oe"
everybody ON the ship became qliet
and listened intently to the beautiful
melody as it was the first time they
had ever heard it sung in the land in
which it was composed. On leaving
Victoria every member was given a
copy of "Aloha oe," the contribution
of the promotion committe, batch
having been sent from here on the last
trip of the Zealandia. They had studied
the music and rehearsed it on the trip
down and sang it last evening.
The choir is travelling 220 strong, the
number including two newspaper men
who are making the world tour. One
is Mr., Battu, representing the Sheffield
Daily Independent largest circulation

don Standard, and the sporting editor
of The Times of Victoria, British Co

AS far as his prosecution goes, the

when Prince Kuhio left here on tho

was nursing not exactly Christian feel
ings for another member OF the govern
mont other than Governor Frear. It
was learned yesterday that some Of
Kuhio's friends consider that +. A..
Mott Smith "has It in" for the Dele

The head and front Of MottSmith's 3
offending seems TO be that he is presi-
dent Of the territorial board Of health,

as TO fishing which prevent the taking
of fish and sea MOSES out of water
that fronts on the Kapiolani estate,
while across the other side of Kalihi

This is gross discrimination, in the
eyes of some of those connected with
the Kapiolani estate; in fact, Mr.. Mott
Smith admitted last evening that j. T.
Colburn, treasurer of the estate. visited
him at the board of health office and
tried to make a political issue out of
it. Mr.. Mott.Smith told Mr.. Colburn
that he would not consider any repre-
sentation of that sort.
