New YORK. Dec 4.-Whether the Ha-
waian Islands do or do not become an
exed to The United States, the fact re-
mains that the kindness of the people of
the Island for good old rye whiskey and
bourbon will be increased by a closer re-
lationship. On East river, where the
Harlem brewery is working for the Is
lands, there are over 200 barrels OF rye
whiskey, rum and bourbon, and every
barrel contains its legal quota OF thirty
six gallons and every gill of it the best

BILL DooLIN's DEsPERADos.
They Terrorize Muse ogee and Defy
the Law officials.

SOUTH MCALEsTER, |. T., Dec. 4.-The
town Of Muscogee is 10 state of intense
excitement owing to the presence of Bill
DoOlin and his gang of desperados. They
were discovered about four miles west of
MuScOgee. The gang consisted of about
eight men, loaded down with fire arms
and whisky. They are drunk to point
of hilarity and their condition makes
them bold. Besides firing at any pasSerby
who happened along, they amused them
selves by sending haunting messages to
the Musco2ee officers inviting them to
come out and drink. The situation has
been telegraphed to United States Mar
shall McAlester, at McAlester, |. T., and a
strong body of deputies dispatched by
special train to the scene. The deputies
will endeavor to surround the gang and
make an attack before they recover from
their debanch. A raid upon Muscogee
is momentarily expected and the officers
and citizens are arming preparatory to
the attack. If it occurs the situation
promises a repetition OF the Cotfeyville
affair, when the Dalton gang was practi-
cally wiped out, Bill Doolin is a survivor
of that gang and he recognized and re-

they would be back in numbers
undiminished. Whv? Simply because
while there are 30. coo fallen women in
this city, there are ten times that number

money they would go to John w. Golf

he had number of fellow sufferers. Some
times the demand for money was made in
a begging way. The women declare that
since the Lexow committee had turned
New York upside down they had to go
out of business and were pennilesS. This
was followed by the request for some OF
the money they paid in for protection.
Certain lawyers in New York, practicing
for the most part in the criminal courts,
are being pillaged by the extortionists.
Former shady" clients have asked for
money with threats that II it was not
paid they would take the witness stand
