ADA WILL NOT COME
Court Will not Permit the Statue to be Sent
to Wichita

The Topeka Capital Of yesterday says:
wichita people who neglected to az
tend the worlds fair will probably never
see the silver statue Montana's famous
exhibit was scheduled TO leave Topeka
this evening for the southern Kansas
town, but the receiver has applied the
brake to the movement.
when the statue was brought here for
exhibition it was to remain three weeks
and then go on to Wichita. Soon after
its arrival suit was brought by some of
the stockholders to recover share of the
proceeds and Sam Barnum was appoint
ed receiver.
Now that II is time for the Topeka
stand to close the statue will probably re
main temporarily from public life. The
court will not permit its removal and the
Wichita date will have to be cancelled.
Attempts have been made to effect
compromise which would permit the con-
tinuance of the show business. No agree
ment has yet been reached and unless
success in that line is achieved today the
manager will lose one of the most iucra-
tive weeks Of the season
This will be bad news to Paddy Shea
and other Irishmen in the city. who went
to school in Limerick, Ireland with Miss
Rehan or, more properly speaking, Miss
Crehan. Her name was Ada Crehan in
those days but when she went on the
stage the printer made mistake in the
bills and made at Ada c. Rehan instead
OF Ada Crehan. She became famous in
her debut and she adopted the printers
mispelhng as her name.

COMES DOWN HARD
CHIEF BURT SHOWS THAT he WILL
STAND 10 BULLYING.

Hearing of Some Threats Being Made BY
Cbas. Oppcnheimer rs to What He In
tended Doing In This City in the Near
Future. Chief Burt Sends Him Word
That He Would Like to Sec Hin-He
Complies With the Request-He Is Al
vised to 90 Slow But Gets Too sassy and

Chief of Police Frank Burt received
the information recently that, Charles
Oppenheimer, who is we'll known as the
| husband of Dixie Lee, was making
| threats about what he intended doing at
the first opportunity. The threat was
| that he intended to kill the sister Of his
wife, who is in this city, and the infor-
nation was also received that ne was
making preparations to carry out his
threat.
Chief Burt sent him word that he
wanted to see him, and accordingly he
appeared at police headquarters yester-
day morning. Chief Burt quietly told
him of the information he had received,
and advised him to go a little slow and
to 90 nothing rash, as 1t would only
end disastrously to every one connected
in the matter, and himself in particular
If he persisted in the course he had taxi
en-. Mr.. Burt took this course in the
matter as the best way to avoid trouble
to all parties concerned. Oppenheimer
said very little in reply at first, but fin
ally cody informed the chief that he was
going TO stay in this town as long as he
wanted to, and would do just as he
damned pleased while he stayed here.
Chief Burt looked steadily at him for
moment or two, and then quietly turned
around and as quietly said: Take him
down stairs" He was taken below and
locked up and a charge OF lettering
placed against him. The chief stated
that if the charge was not correct one
he did not know any one whom it would
fit He also said that he had spoken to
HIM in all kindness, but it was met as
stated above.
In police court yesterday afternoon
Oppenheimer was brought up before
Judge Wilson. The matter was discuss
ed for short time, and finally upon
recommendation of Mr.. Burt, he was re-
leased provided ne leave the city by to-
morrow evening.
1t will be remembered that a report ap-
peared a short time ago, giving an ac-
count Of an attempt of Oppenheimer to
kill his wife in Kansas City, where she
now is, failing in this he seems to have
returned to Wichita with the intention
of killing her sister. Concerning what
the trouble is all about nothing can be
stated.

The Star is continuing its agita.
ton in favor Of an importation of
Armeniaps to these islands as planta-
ton laborers, and it calls the oppo-
sition to such scheme "sensaless."
Our contemporary claims that it
"has led off in this movement at the
suggestion OF some OF the most valu-
able and preventative citizens of
the islands" The Star refers to
"organs" OF the Asiatic Immigration
companies while it apparently places
itself as the "organ" OF an Armenian
immigration syndicate. If the Star
would tell the public who "the most
valuable and representative citizens"
favoring Armenian immigration are,
we would surely see the Niger in
the fence. Hawaii has had trouble
with contract laborers from Norway,
Germany, Portugal, China aud
Japan. Are these any reasons why
the same troubles would not bs re-
peated if an Armenian contingency
were added to our heterogeneous
populationG The Armenians are OF
no earthly use in their own home.
For political reasons a sentiment in
favor OF them has been created
which SO far has been frustrated by
common sense. We doubt that Mr..
Dole and his bosses, the planters,
eau safely undertak an Armenian
question in Hawaii. The INDEpEN-
DENT yet upholds its policy in regard
to the labor questions; the main
point Of which is that there, accord
ing to official figures, are sufficient
laborers here to do the work neces
sary, The planters may have to
pay higher wages and get smaller
dividends than in the past. Are not
the laboring classes to be consider
ed occasionally?

ex-Secretary Foster would have
the true story of how the Stevens
Wilizc military oligarchy was hatch
ed and nursed in this country (the
most dastardly and cowardly act
ever perpetrated against weak aud
coufding nation), he will have to go
outside OF the small clique that rule
this country at the point Of the
bayonet to get at the facts. 1t will
not be advisable for Mr.. Foster to
unwarily listen to the guilty com
panions OF Stevens in the crime OF
robbing their old benefactors (the
Hawaiiansy OF their all, and cry for
annexation in order to get two cents
bounty on sugar. Mr.. Foster, il he
wishes forit, will find that the ruling
clique here don't want annexation.
What at heart they really desire
is protectorate from Uncle Sam
against he people they have ROBBIE !,
that they may lay back in security
and grow rich through Asiatc
coolie labor at twelve dollars
month, and find themselves, which
they are now doing.
Perhaps Mr.. Foster will ask why
it is that small clique Of three or
four hundred can hold the greater
majority in subsection, / will in
form the gentleman. Ia the neigh
borhood of two months alter the
robbery OF Stevens and his gang, an
honest American, Commissioner
Blount, was sent hero by President
Cleveland to examine and report the
true state of affairs in Ha vail, which
he did in straightforward manly
manner. But through a pack OF
missionary liss and the everlasting
disgrace Of rotten United States
sugar trust Senate, Hawaii was
sacrificed and the robbers exoner-
ated.
After Commissioner Blount left
these shores for America, the Ha-
waiians and their friends had such
an implicit confidence in the in
tegrity OF the United States Govern
meat, that she would restore the
status quo as Stevens found it, that
they waited and waited, until at last
they fouud that America, the boast
ed home Of he brave and the free,
had disgracefully dishonored her
self, bringing the blush Of shame to
every true American.
Mr.. Foster can now see that in
the long interval between the leav-
ing Of Mr.. Blount and the meeting
OF Congress, the wolves of Stevens
lost no time ia enlisting aud arming
heterogeneous mass of men with a
large portion Of spies and sneaks,
besides disenfrauchising he people;
thus bringing the nation on the
verge Of bankruptcy,
And now, Mr.. Foster, all these evils
have come upon Hawaii through
placing too much confidence in the
4,
integrity Of America. Without that
confidence, this clique would never
have had the change to arm as they
have. And these people have the
gall to call this abortion republic.
