WAS KOREA MARU
AFFAIR PART OF
RUSSIAN REVOLT?

It has occurred to those who were
conversant with the mysterious Rus
sian plot which developed while the
Korea Maru was in Honolulu about
two weeks ago that The affair might
hare been conneeGeds In some way
with the. startling turn OF affairs Id
Russia which the Star Bulletin first
brought to light here YESTERDAY.
At that time two passengers aboard
the Korea claiming to be Russian Sc
cret service officers from Petrograd
induced Capt. Kamahu OF the local
police department to place in irons
three other Russians on board the
same boat on charge of stealing over
three million dollars from the Rus
sian government.
1t is now suggested that the Rus.
SLAMS who sought to have the others
arrested and detained here were con-
nected with the reyolutionists and de-
sired to prevent or delay the arrival
of the alleged consular officers in the
mainland of the United States.
Later Deputy Sheriff Asch ordered
their release and was then requested
by a bona-fide Russian diplomat on
board to place under arrest the couple
who had caused the detention Of the
other three. This he also declined to
do. This morning he threw up his
hands when asked what he thinks
about it.
DR.. Augustus Marques, Russian con-
sui in Honolulu, has heard nothing of
the revolution or of the story that an
investigation of OBTAINING two consular
officers here lad been demanded by
the Russian government. Some one
has hazarded the guess that the two
so-called secret service men we're Ger
man spies.

Mrs. Ellie Hoffman Murphy.
A Life Sketch
IN MEMoRIAM

Died at the home of her sister, Mrs.
John A. Mentzell, OF West Main Street,
at 8 o'clock, p. M, Tuesday, April IL,
1917, Mrs. Ellie Hoffman Murphy.
Mrs. Murphy has been a resident of
Memphis for many years. but has spent
the past nine months with her devoted
sister, Mrs. Mentzell, for about four
months of this time she has been a
great sufferer. but nevertheless her
stay in Tupelo has been a great bless
ing to others besides the home in which
she was received with great gladness,
as a patron saint.
Mrs. Murphy's pure and saint-like
life was so like a story character, that
we think it but fair that the busy
world shall catch a glimpse of the
beauty of the truth of it," so much
sweeter than story life. just as its sun
has set in the beautiful pillows of
righteousness that has radiantly lighted
1.-The Dark Valley" much as the gold
and blue; the rose and amethyst mists
of the sunset glorify the deathbed of
the dying day.
Mrs. Murphy was but little past
middle age, but as the elder of the home
when her mother died she had become
Little Mother" to the family. In the
Mentzell home she was pleased to have
the children call her the sweet old
fashioned name of Grand mother,
because they had no grandmother, she
said, and she would not have them miss
the blessing. Thus she was sister,
mother end grandmother, as occasion
demanded. and her influence in the
home, exerted only in gentlest love,
was like . benediction. Her word was
law to the children, who loved her as
the superior being she was.
If there is one attribute of character
most distinguishing-I have thought
it that rare soulsense that shuns to hurt
the reputation of a fellow, friend or
foe, by i'll spoken words, much as ten
der fingers shun the thorns among the
flowers When t~houghtless idlers
would seek to hurt another in her pres
ence, Mrs. Murphy would raise q deli
cate finger in warning. and soon lead
the thoughtless takers up to the heights
sublime, where forgiveness throws
charity's mantle over the faults and
frailties of humankind.
Unselfishness was the keynote of the
psalm of her life, and when during the
last weeks Of her illness she was I'M
able to walk, she would cheerfqlly call
attention to the blessing that she could
still use her arms. Her room, the sun
NEST and brightest in the whole home,
.waf yer 9 perfect greenhouse Of
flowers, kept SO blythe children Of her
care and Che friends who loved her.
She was thoughtful never to lose an
opportunity to betow q kindness, and
was ever grateful for thoughtfulness
shown her.
She passed away as she lived-with-
out murmuring, without heartbraking
goodbyes Of sadness, insisting in her
last hours that her loved one .ssmile.,'
Numerous letters and kilograms from
loved ones and friends received the day
after her death attest the fond love
and hioh frinndrhin of . l;fot;r.a .na
