GEORGE WOODS Is SHOT.
ARTHUR WHITE Is ACCUSED OF
THE DEED.
The Crescents' Pitcher Tells "a story OF
kidnapping, shooting, Cow hiding
and Coercion.

The baseball trouble eliminated seri-
ously last night. George II. Wood,
pitcher for the Cresents, has been shot
and badly wounded.
He accuses Arthur White, of the
Hotel street billiard hall, of the deed.
Pitcher Woods statement is as fol-
lows:
Had returned from hare and hounds
street. There met Arthur White and
Willie Wilder in buggy.
"Wilder invited me to get into the
buggy, saying that White wanted to
talk with me. replied that did not
want to get in. White then jumped
out, drew a revolver and said if | did
not &c with them in the buggy he would
shoot me.
eve drove out Beretana to Kamoiliili
son the way White said Wood, you
had better tell the truth now; and said
yes, will tell the truth We drove on
by Makee Island and when we got to
the house demons place. at the end of
the tramcar track, White ordered
Wilder to drive in the gate. Wilder said
something like we've got him now
"Wilder started to tic the horse and |
and White sat in the buggy, White
turned around and jumped out. White
grabbed my arm, but | got away and
he shot me in the leg while was run.
ming. | fell and White came to me. lie
asked me to get up, which did, apd we
went into the room.
"W ben he got me in there he told me
he had good mind to shoot me down
like a dog. He said if did not tell the
truth he would cowhidc me until l was
half alive. He was walking around
the room with his revolver in one hand
and cowhide in the other.
81 got frightened and told him, You
did not buy me Off, and in my own
mind I did not tell you that you had
had bought me-
He then cowhided me, and later gave
me a half dollar to go home on the car
1T was then II O'clock. Willie Wilder
was sitting in the room at the time.
Il saw some of the Kamehameha boys
on horseback as | was on the car. They
hailed me and l shouted back to them.
Willie Wilder corrOborates nearly al
of this statement.
Wood was hit in the back of the thigl
of the right leg, the ball burrying Itself
in the flesh. He was sent to the
hospital where it was extracted.
Lemons place at Waikiki was
vacant. When the trio reached tn,
house, lamp was burning in the room
later entered by White, Wilder ant
Wood. Circumstantial evidence would
make it appear that that part of tn,
program was prearranged.
Arthur White was arrested anc
brought to the station house at l.
O'Clock to-day. He had secured tn,
services of Mr.. p. Neumann, and would
not talk. He was placed under $l00'
bond and released, Ed. Hopkins hi

George Ii. Wood, pitcher for tn
Crescents, clings to the statement tina
he was bought off by Arthur White las
Saturday. He says his statement t,
White last night was coerced and ha
nothing to do with his original conten
ton.

HARE AND HOUND RACE.
This is How the willy Hares Fooled
the Hounds.

This Is How the willy Hares Fooled
the Hounds.
The hare and hound race took place
from Fort and King streets last night.
The night was rather dark and the
wind blew the paper away, making the
trail very hard to follow.
The route lay out King to LikelIke,
up Likelike to Beretania, down to Emma
square, all around through churchyards
and alley-ways, to Thomas Square, Ma
goonsville, up Punchbowl, back to the
harbor and TO the fish market. The
route was then taken up Nuuanu to
Kukui and through to Fort, where the
trail was lost. The hounds ran on up to
School, where the bag left by the hares
was found.
The hares were out one hour and
ten minutes, and the hounds were just
twelve minutes behind.

PAUL NEUMANN TALKS.
HE DISCUSSES THE AMERICAN
STRIKES.
Says Strikes Are Wrong and the United
States should Hereafter Control
Railways.

MIR. raul Neumann returned from
California Saturday, after several weeks
spent in the communities from which
arose much of the spirit causing the de-
plorable strikes of July 4th and the few
days following. Mr.. Neumann was on
a train that was stopped by the strikers
and had occasion to see their work at
every hand.
In an interview this morning Mr..
Neumann gave his general impression
of the strike. He said:
"There is no theory or principle ex-
isting upon which the course of the
strikers can be defended. Society is
firm for this highest of all obligations
the protection of the individual and pre-
serving to each man his absolute rights
"No grievance arising out of the
economic relations between capital and
labor, or corporations and operators,
can ever be suffered to be righted by
mob power.
mo one will deny the right of the
striker to quit work if he deems his
compensation inadequate; but no right
minded person, and no man who is not
a traitor to the American Republic, will
maintain that a striker has the further
right of preventing any one else from
working.
1.-The feeling of sympathy for the
strikers in California is manifested
through the enmity of a large part of
the public for the Southern Pacific.
Possibly a majority of the people of
California and of the West up
hold the cause of the strikers;
but they do not consider the matter in
its full light and may some day feel the
wrong of the course they are now pur-
suing.
81 do not believe the outbreak in
Chicago can be ascribed to the strikers
at all; but was perpetrated by the law
less and thieving dregs of that city's
population. The object was plumber,
and they may have been urged on
secretly by emissaries of the railway
companies for the purpose of making it
necessary for the Federal authorities to
interfere.
1.-THE end of it will be that the strikers
will come to their senses. They are
not an ignorant mob, and they will
come to realize that their position is
untenable. This will bring them to
some sort of reasonable settlement.
"This is what l think; but my wish is
that this strike may lead to the United
States Government condemning all rail
roads under the right of eminent
domain and operating them as Govern
ment institutions.
"Some people think that that would
lead to danger, Capitalization and a
dangerous increase of Governmental
patronage. In my opinion. if the
| United States cannot, without en-
dangering the liberty of its subjects, or
It's existence, undertake this task, the
people of the United States had better
dissolve the Union and split into paltry
municipalities.
my faith in the United States, how
ever, and the permanency of the Union,
is so strong that could not borrow any
anxiety about the effect that policy
would have.
1.-The railroads have pretty much run
the United States for some years past.
Now let the United States try to run the
railroads for awhile.

J. A. King, Esq, Minister of Finance

Twenty-seven men and 8 women were

IL women and 3 boys were contracted to
Japanese residents of --, whose re-
sponsibilitv satisfied myself OF first 30
men and women were contracted to
responsible foreign residents; men
were detained under cash bond with
sufficient surety that they should be con-
tracted or returned to Japan by the first
opportunity.
An offer to contract these men had
previously been made, but preferring to
wait (under the security of a bond) for
more satisfactory contracting parties
than those offering seemed to me to be,
l allowed such tond to be executed
rather than compel the steamer to fur
Their wait at considerable loss before re-
turning to Japan. Two of these nine
have since been contracted to entirely
reliable parties.
The plantations contracting are Heeia,
Kahuku, Eva, Makaweli, Hilo Sugar
Co., Waiakea, Hama, Kilauea and Pioneer
Mill.
