attention OF both the government and

them to meet in extra session ON Sept

Minister Hatch is in almost constant
CONS ult2,tion with President Dole and
his cabinet.
The law makers Wild be asked to rat

signed in Washington. and as a ma
jority of the members favor annexa-
tion the matter viii be rushed through.
The reason for the extra session of the
senate at this early date is a matter of
conjecture and much curiosity is
evinced with regard to it..
Another matter to be considered by
the Hawaiian senate is that of render
ing assistance to the executive in unTay-
cling the japanese muddfe, as it is said
that Japan'S acceptance of the offer of
arbitration is so vague that the presi-
dent and his cabinet are in aIandary.
There are runners of q split in the cab

that the intervention of the seEate is
required to prevent AN open rupture.
The Hawaiian Star created a sensa-

of Sir Harry Westwood Cooper. M D.
now confined in the city prison, Chief
of Police Lees believes that he has be-
hind the bars one of the most notorious
bank sWindlers who ever operated in
this or any other country, despite the
fact that he is under 80 years of age.
He was arrested at the Langham hotel
and a dispatch of inquiry as to Cooper
was sent to the Bankers Protective
association. and there came back the
reply that he was g. noted swindler
and was wanted by the association for
fraudulent work done in the east Soon
after C0oDer's arrest his room at the
Langham was searched by the detec-
tives. and in his trunk were found a
lot of certified checks and drafts which
the police believe to be bogus Cooper
claimed that he was nephew to the
late Sir Ashley Cooper, surgeon to
Queen Victoria. who. he said. had died
six months before, and that he had
come into Sir Astley's title and sue
ceeded to his vast estate in Australia,
at present valued at about $500, 600
Having created the desired impression
by his talk Of titles, estates and mar
supiat possessions, the police say that
Cooper began his fraudulent work, and
they claim that before he was caught
he had succeeded in VictimiZing a num-
Der of people.
It was but one or two days ago that

YES, to relieve the painful effects
of the alcohol
Cross-examined by Judge Young,
witness said that drunkards, if de-
prived of alcohol, might have a crav-

them to descend the mine shaft TO the

any attempt to return to the surface
would be followed by instant death.
After waiting an hour the men came
up and discovered that their visitors
had left with ten sacks of ore, contain
ing 600 pounds in all, valued at $780,
Quite a large amount of ore of much
greater value was in the building, but

use of intoxicants. His honor over

patient was not suffering from any dis
ease he would inquire if the patient
using narcotics had been addicted to
excessive drinking. The use of alcohol
