CONFEDERATION Jones, the Hawaiian nov
elist, clad in overalls, with a big brush in
one hand and a pot of red paint in the
other, was rushed through the streets OF
Sunset City BY four Midwinter guards
yesterday afternoon.
His protests were unheeded, and he was
taken to the top of the electric tower. He
did not mind the arrest SO much as the in
dignity of being made to appear 10 public
in his studio clothes. AT present Mr..
Jones, whose stage name is Webster. is a
press agent at the exposition, and he has
been occupying his leisure moments In re-
painting the Hawaiian cyelorama.
Soon after he was landed the quartet of
guards captured Emil Mayer, a French
liIteratenr who is now a. the fair j. 5.
Fenimore of the Southern California
building was also hurried 10 the tower
and so was Chicago man named Rob V.
Robertson, who carols c0ster songs. Every

appearance of the offenders.
IL finally trauspred that an effort was
being made to organize The press agents
attached to the various buildings. conces-
sions and exhibits on the grounds. The
promoters had enlisted the assistanc e
of Captain Baldwin. and the method of
commotian.
The object Of the organization is to
BAN boozle the public and the press on a
wholesale scale instead of disseminating
fiction under the guise Of facts in homeo-
pathic doses. This particular collection
Of persusders has formed the California
Midwinter International Exposition Mod
ern Mutual Protective Association OF Press
Agents. The badge OF mem bership is a
white button, upon which is stamped a
Tyre.
An attempt at suicide on the grounds of
the exposition yesterday morning occa-
stoned great excitement at Sunset City,
and particularly about the ostrich farm.
where resident almost cut his own head
off. AS it was his jugular almost hung by
a single thread and his recovery is now
considered impossible.
The victim of his own rashness Is a long
legged, bald necked ostrich. In despair at
not being able to reach some food placed
on the other side of an intervening fence.
the strich deliberately cut great cash in
his throat by forcing his head between
the sharp wires. The director-general
remarked that 'he had got it in the neck, !"
and that official sent an Emergency Hos
pital physician to the relief of the suicide
and the latter'S gaping neck was stitched
up.
An international feud in the Hawaiian
village is the cause of the issuance of war
rants for the arrest of the Kanaka attaches.
On Thursday evening policeman from
Alameda accompanied by two friends, all
in somewhat hilarious condition and in
citizens clothes, secured free admittance
to the village upon producing the star OF
patrolman. The Trio watched the hula
dancing with critical eyes and guyed the
girls ia loud tones. Finally the comments
became especially offensive to Liliuoka-
lani's wards and after the performance one
of the male Kanakas named Papelemo went
to the three disturbers and pushed them
away. The policeman struck back and in
a moment there was general riot, all the
Hawsiians in the village participating.
When the policeman had been cuffed
once or twice be ceased fighting, and. pro-
ducing his star, essayed the role OF peace
maker. but with small measure of success.
Opu, the most bioodtbirsty savage Of the
lot-although be is afraid of his own
shadow and under no circumstances Will
go out in the dark-was in the thick of
the fray, Furnishing Hlo club with good
effect.
The police party was getting very much
the worst of the encounter when the man.
ager of the Hawaiians heard the disturb
ance. He rushed to the scene Of the COM
bat, and in auelling the riot incidentally
received crack on the skull which laid
him out for the remainder Of the evening.
The Kanaka women took a hand in the
fun, and only the most determined efforts
Of the guards ended the battle.
Having tasted the pleasures OF bloody
fray the KaDakas pant for more. They
have been restless and threatening ever
since. The management is maintaining
very strict discipline, but the Hawaiians
are longing for an opportunity to get even
at some ones expense. Any body will do.
The exposition management has ar
ranged for a grand concert to be given
this evening by the Vienna Prater orches-
ira in Festival Hall. 1t will be solosts'
| night, and an excellent programme has
been prepared. Tickets for the concert
will also entitle the possessor to admit
