KEEGAN Past Exploits Brought to Light in the Interest of Order and Decency. Considerable excitement was manifested throuii'hiout the City Sunday and yester day over the arrest of the man Jiopert, Who arrived here Sunday morning pur porting to be a Roman Catholic bishop, in charge of afOairs alt Honolulu. It seems that he is the same panty who made tlhe jaime professions at Portland, Fri day and Saturday, full aoaounits of which appear In Sunday's and yesterday 8 Ore. g jir.ian. In Astoria hi made himself flrst known to Fa'tlher DieHman. That gemilemian says: "He came 'to ma about 8 o'clock Sunday morning. I was engaged In church and very busy ait the Umt. The boy cuime to me and said a blehop lis here to see you, ind when I went , to him, found him standing in Vha btohop's robes and when he hod saluted me he said that he was a til shop of Honolulu. He was dressed in the full pominciails, yesterday being the feast of St. Dominic, and stated that he wag dnbeireated an the cause of the lepers at Moiokat. I asked him If he had any letters from the arohbiahiop. He replied that he hold not as he was very much pressed for time, and the archbishop had tyid him to just go uilong and It would be all ris'.ut. He wanted to say the eight o'clock rniaiss tind preach tt sermon and raise a collection In aid of the suffering lepers. Being somewhat suspicious, I told him to waft for the ten o'clock Mass, as there would be more people and mote good oouCd be done. I did this to gain time and htar from Porflaind. I did not receive a prompt reply und he preached the ten o clock mam, in wlhldh several stiaitoments Which he made told ine at once that he was a fraud. He tii'ated that hud 109 priests under him. While there are not owienlty there altogether. A col lection was taken up and about $20 hand ed Ropert. In tlhe afternoon Ropert wus vlsfttag with the sisters at tlhe hospital when a messagu was delivered for me. He Belzed It, Claiming it as Ihls, opened It, saw the con'tenitls and made immediate prepar ations for departure, telling the sisters that tihey had-called him to that point. Believing Botmethlng was wrong I called at the telegraph office myself and was handed a duplicate 'of the message de livered at the hospital, and took steps at once for the apprehension of the man. The message, which I sent to Portland and the reply are as follows: B. Orth: Is Ropert, bishop of Honolulu, (now here) all right. Answer. . L. DIELM'AN. L. Dietman: No. Is a fraud. If you can, have him arrested. B. ORTH. Father iDleiiman says he would have lent the man money had he wanted it, but now he Is interested in exposing the fraud committed. In the name of the church land to prevent. Imposition upon others. Mr. ThamUs E. ip. Keegian, formerly of Lltlile Failte, Wusfti., now of As'joria, yes terday afternoon visited tlhe Ja.il and redognlzed Ropert, bdJh by the features and voice, as a mun who went by 'the name cf Shields at Little FaJia, during the moin.th of February, 1802. Previous to tlhiat time he had been traveling on the sound, purporting tlo be a priest, and had vlctlirnllzed a number of people, claim ing that he was an Indian tndsglionary. His frauda were discovered and he was arresOed at 'the UnMance of Father Hyle- bo9, of Tacoma, but for some reason was ailjwed his freedwrn. He then worked h'is way souuhiwiard playing the same game under different names, until he arrived ait Little Falls. Mr. Keegan was away ult the time of Oils arrival, but upon his return was told 'that there was a priest In ton, who was sent by the priest at Cowlitz Prairie. Now Mr. Kee gjn, being a churchman, and keeping a hotel, utwaya entertained visiting dergy nv.m and provided roomls for them to hiold service In. This man was intro duced to Mr. Keegan, who noticed that his make-up was not quite as it should be, and having heard of the escapades of Vine bogus prealciher on the Sound, wus Inclined to be cautious. ShleCda, as was his maime at tiliit time, 'made an effort to interest Mr. Keegan In the building of a church and school nit Little Falls and securing his Influence in obtaining the necessary land and funds from the do zens there and In .the neighboring vil lages. Mr. Keegan did mot ifu.ll In Wtilh his plans, believing that .the man was wot 'true and a'.so not thinking It would be proper Itio have a church and school with a blUlnrd hail underneath, which was part of .the pian of Shleilds. Shields also claimed tlhat hds order had head quarters at a email village east of Van couver, iWaefii., on the Columbia. This Mr. Keegrnn krew Do be false, as he was born and raised at Vancouver, and was well acqualntevl with 'the entire locality. Bhlleds secured five or six dollars from citizens of Little Fala and then fcft for other pants. A few dkiyis later Mr. Kee gan hiard of Ithe man berffc at .the eis ttra' home In Hast Portland and having lent then In a sudden manner. The oircuniHtanees above so impressed the man upon Mr. Keegum'a mind that, while yesterday was the tlrst time he toad Seen the onn since he met faira in Little Falls, be ia posXIve that he Is the same maa. The charge against Ropert for obtain ing money under false pretenses was dis missed and a new charge of appropriat ing and opening a telegram belonging to another was entered against him. In the meantime habeas corpus proceedings were commenced by Attorneys Long and La Force to release the man on the grounds of Insufficiency of committment papers. Attorney Clyde Fulton for ths state llletl a demurrer and the case was argued in tlhe county court. The demur rer was sustained and at 10 o'clock this morning before Justice Abercrombie, the criminal case will be taken up. GRACE CHURCH S. S. EXCURSION.

At a recent meeting of the Professional Women's League, of 'New York, th. strongest and nics: Influential organiza tion of Its kind In the world, Mips Katherina Evans read a pap;r on "Vo cal Music," which was replete wi.h in formation cf a character us -fill to the Umbltlous vocalist. Her remarks and suggestions to would-be singers were commendable in the extreme. Miss Ev ans said: "My keynote Is a parahras. of a well-kncA'n couplet:1 "Of all these arts In which the wise ex cel) "The best Is t'hUii of singing, which so few do well. "Thorough grounding in fundamental principles Is ntcessary to success. It takes a long while to accomplish this be fore show work begins. Every one should know something In regard to the possi bilities of the most beautiful Instrument, the human voice. Since earliest ages the most wonderful results have been pro duced through the Intelligent use of the speaking voice, andl men and nations were swayed by (the carefully modulated Intonations of silver-tongued orators of old long before the sister art of song had held an acknowledged place in the gal axy of fine arts." Methods for developing and controllng the voice were explained at length. Miss Evans claimed that It was absolutely ne cessary In the dramatic profession that women know how to sing. "Scarcely a new play appears," she said, "but de mands a knowledge of music. In present ing successful pieces today it Is Impera tive to utilize the voice in order to pre sent in the most realistic manner the au thr's Ideal. What would Trilby' be without 'Ben Bolt?' " 'Miss Evans maintained that any voice which can express varied emotions in language can without difficulty be taught to express tham In song. Singing, she de fined, as musical speaking. "Persever ance and Intelligence," she said, "go hand in hand in perfecting the voice. As a na tion Americans are in a great hurry and American girls are universally accredited to have musical talent and versatility of the highest degree. They frequently cheat themselves of honors by their Ina bility to make haste slowly. The ques tion of tone color Is one of Importance, but the greatesil Is that of thought. When pupils and teachers realize this, song will become In a higher degree than any of her sisters In the universal art. Awarded Highest Honors World's Fair, Gold Medal, Midwinter Fair.
