It Begins in the District Court this

The trial of n. 81. Wolff is occupying
the day at the district court. The tech
meal charge against the accused man is
s.obtaining money under false pretenses'
from e. III. Crosby by presenting check
on the Kansas National bank, which he
represented was good, but which was
not. as he never had any deposit there.
Mr.. Crosby, Bookkeeper Deacon and
Miss Mooney, the cashier, testified to the
same facts that have been narrated be-
fore regarding the deception practiced
by Mr.. Wolff in obtaining the money on
the check. A Washburn, cashier of the
bank testified that Wolff never had de-
posit at his bank for several years
1t is expected that Wolff will try to
prove that he supposed his wife had
deposited two hundred dollars in the
Bank few days before the
check was drawn; that 5000 was given
to Mrs. Wolff for that purpose.

haired children sit by the accused hus-

Governor Isaac Williamson. He entsred
Princeton college when lad. and after
remaining there but a year returned to
Trenton to study with his father and
read law under the direction of Samuel
III. Southland. He afterward entered the
Office of ex-Chancellor Isaac H. William
son Of Elizabeth.
In 1888 he was admitted to practice at
the September term of court. He be-
came counselor in 1912. He was ap-
pointed chief justice by Governor Par
ker in 1864 He has always been con-
sidered one of the ablest lawyers in the
state, and his fame as chief justice is
recognized abroad as well as at home.
His decisions are constantly quoted, and
it is conceded that few, if any, of the
eminent American jurists possess more
accurate or extensive knowledge of law
In his younger days Justice Beasley
was city solicitor of Trenton, for which
he received the munifcent sum of $15 a
year. In 1851 he was the Wing candi

defeated by William Nupton. In 1850
he served as president of the Trenton
common council. His circuit as chief
justice comprised Monmouth and Mid

4 sLANDERER FROM ToPEKA.

a SLANDHRER F-hOM 1OEEhA.
H. The Newton Republican and its SLAM
derous correspondent in Topeka w. H.
Hornaday, afford examples of the vicious
attacks being made upon Ed Hoch and
those who are giving him an honest sup
port in the interests of newer men and
better methods. We are glad to say that
this man Hornaday is one of the excep-
tions. The campaign would be a decent
one with the elimination of such as he
and q very few others. Attacks of this
kind only aid Mr.. Hoch and do not injure
his supporters. The Newton paper pub
fishes a long especial dispatch" from
Topeka with big black headlines. The
heading contains these words: BLACK
mailers"-"Topeka JOURNAL wants hush
money" etc, and the article itself has
this Introduction:
'sThe fact that there is danger of over
doing thing was never more clearly
demonstrated than in the tactics now be-
ing pursued by some of the over-zealous-
but misguided friends of Ed Hoch. No
one familiar with the policy and politics
of the STATE JOURNAL was surprised
when it took up the name of Hoch. he
common street talk here was that the
other fellows would not come down and
there was nothing left for it to do but
make desperate attacks on Morrill, and
his frienos-"
The STATE JOURNAL needs TO make no
reply to the above SANDER. Its editor has
lived in Kansas from boyhood and has
been in the newspaper business
in the state for seventeen years,
nine of these years as editor and
proprietor of the TOPEKA STATE JOUR-
NAL He is entirely willing to rely on
his character and reputation a sufh-
cient refutation to the SANDER above
quoted. So far as desperate attacks on
Maj. Morrill, are concerned, the readers
of this paper know that there have been
no attacks whatever on Morrill, in the
STATE JOURNAL Two years ago,
as Mr.. Morrill, and his friends
know this paper supported him entirely
/ on motion, and Major Morrill,
never contributed cent directly or in
directly, even to the amount of a sub
scription to the paper. We never asked
him or any other candidate for governor
to do more than make decent and hon
orable campaign. We are favoring
Hoch today because, like him and thou
sands of Republicans, we are in favor OF
newer men and better methods; because
we are not satisfied with the arrogant,
egotistical machine methods that have
been pursued by the men who are act
ing as Major Morrill's campaigners.
Kansas Republicans want a change,
and from the Hoch sentiment, which is
simply tremendous, they are likely to
get it, crystalized into delegates favor
able to the Marion county statesman.

ReSOired. SecOnd-Ihat copy of
this resolution be transmitted To w.
{. Wilder, President Of the Executive
and Advisory Councils of the Repub-
lie Of Hawaii.
The resolution was ordered to be-
considered with the bill.
Minister Damon presented bill
for special appropriations for Gov
eminent use for the two years end
ing March. 1896. 1t authorizes
the expenditure of surplus re-
ceipts and loan funds of the
Postal Savings Bank for public
works. The principal amounts
are as follows: Harbor works,
Honolulu, $12O,50O; roads and
bridges, $9S,15 new buildings,
vaults, magazine and hospitals,
$4,000. Honolulu Water Works,
$4,000; Wailuku Water Works,
$4,000; Hilo Water Works, 49,
500. The bill passed its first read
ing.
The bill relating to contracts for
ocean mail service passed its Sec
ond reading, with the amendment,
by Mr.. Emmeluth, that coal stor-
age be limited to coal actually re-
quired by the steamers.
The Labor Commission bill was
taken up for third reading. Mr..
Morgan said he did not think it
right that business men should be
asked to leave their business and
do Government work for nothing.
Mr.. Ena moved to refer the bill
to the Legislature.
Minister Smith moved that an
amendment be made to the effect
that the commissioners be paid a
sum to be decided on by the Execu-
tive. He thought the matter

MED the statement in the resolu-
ton of the Schuetzen Club, that
the planters would do anything to
get cheap labor, and claimed that
they were trying to get labor from
European countries.
Minister Damon did not want to
90 too fast, nor did he want to get
too close to oligarchic rule. 1t
would be better to refer to the Leg
islature.
Minister Smith again spoke
about the necessity Of immediate
action. This was most import
ant matter, and demanded prompt
settlement.
Mr.. Warehouse said he thought
there were enough men here who
would be willing to serve without
pay.
Mr. Morgan said that perhaps a
rich man would, but 1t was not
right to ask a poor man to do it.
Mr.. Emmeluth was in favor of
making payment for the work, if it
was limited to 81 day.
President Dole also supported
the idea Of paying the commits
sioners, but moved to leave the
amount to the Legislature. Car
ried.
The bill passed by a unanimous
vote.
Minister Smith said that work on
the Kau road would be commenced
at once. Mr.. Morgan asked what
was The matter with Kona, and
was told cone at time"
The Councils then adjourned
