Legislative Hall opposite, the band
playing THE Republic of Hawaii" :"
Here standing in two easy lines, they
were soon joined by Senator Morgan,
who took his place next TO Mrs. Dole.
Now the people began to pour in, and
soon the reception room was nearly
filled, so that many had to go out into
the hall and ON the balconies. Among
the guests were noticed quite a number
of Hawaiian ladies. The reception con-
tinued until after $50 O'clock when
small space about the mauka end of
the hall, where the Reception Com
mittee was standing, was cleared, and
an opening lancers was danced by the
following in very pretty style: Sen
ator Morgan and Mrs. Dole, President
Dole and Miss Morgan, United States
Minister Sewall and Mrs. A. F.. Judd,
United States Consul-General Haywood
and Mrs. G. P. Iaukea, Hawaiian Min
lister Hatch and Mrs. S. M. Damon,
Chief Justice Judd and Mrs. w. F.
Allen, Captain Nichols of the United
States ship Bennington and Mrs.
Nichols.
This dance finished, the first number
on the regular program, composed of
favorite and popular airs, was played,
the crowd in the reception room thin
ned out, and the giddy whirl of the
waltz was the all-captivating feature.
Then followed deuX temps, lancers,

the wee sma' hours did this pleasur-

be found with the music played by

HAWKINS STILL AT LARGE
The Police Unable to Trace the Ascending
Messenger.
Msny SO-Called Clues Received
Recalled-Hls Characteristfcs.

Have you heard anything YETI is the
question asked Inspector Mattingly num-
her of times each day by persons connect
ed with the Office OF Tax Collector Davis.
The question. of course. has reference to
the whereabouts of T. Varick Haw-
kins, the colored messenger who is charged
with having disappeared with more than
5000 of the funds of the office.
Hawkins has thus far succeeded in COM
pletely burying himself, so far as his for
mer friends and companions and the po-
lice are concerned. Since his sudden de-
parture Tuesday night, the collector and
the clerks have had reason to recall his
many suspicious acts and movements about
the office. Although only a messenger
Hawkins had frequently expressed desire
to do some clerical work. He apparently
did not want to be looked upon as a mes
senser, especially during the days when
taxpaylng callers were most numerous.
He dressed better than some of the clerks
and to person not acquainted with him
his actions indicated that he held one of
the highest instead of the lowest posi-
tons in the office. On number of occa-
sions he had to be told not to interfere
with the clerical work.
Advices received at police headquarters
show that the kilograms and descriptive
postals sent out have attracted the desired
attention. Reports have been received
from several sources that men answering
the description of the fugitive have been
seen in many localities.

VIRGINIA FRITTER'S CASE.
Mrs. Morton Says She Was Well
Treated ut Her House.


To the Editor of The Evening Star:
An article which appeared in your val
liable paper a few days ago in reference
to the disappearance of Virginia Fritter
f, ON my house and her being found some
days later at the home of Mr.. Lanham, an
attache of the parking commission, has re-
suited in doing me Though l am quite sure
unintentionaly on the part Of The Starr
great injustice, and 1 respectfully ask you
to publish this letter from me.
/ have waited to see If Mr.. Lanham
would correct some of the statements pub
lished concerning Virginia Fritter as he
said recently they were very much eXag-
gerated. AS he has not done So l will, in
justice to myself and family, wait no lon
ger.
l think 1t strange that Mr.. Lanham
should take this girl from the city eleven
miles out in the country and keep her one
whole week until search was made for her
without letting her anxious father or any
one who knew her know of her where
atouts. Even postal to me would have
settled the matter and saved a great deal
of trouble. The papers spoke of her as a
little child. when she is really almost a
grown woman.
Some time ago / took care of an afflicted
daughter of Mr.. Fritter for several months
and gave her every care could have given
ole of my own children. She was taken
sick here without money or friends, and 1t
was at the earnest pleading of this poor
afflicted girl that l consented to take Vir-
ginia. 1 took her as a servant and not as
companion. She was never up before @
o'clock, and retired just when she felt like
it at night She had so little to do that
some of my neighbors commented on her
sitting on the front steps much. She
| had not been here three weeks and had
bought four dresses for her. two of which
were finished and sent home the day after
| she left. 1 would have been only too glad
| to send Virginia home If she had intimated
| that she was not satisfied. There was new
| er an unkind word spoken to her, as / can
prove by reliable parties. 1 have now a
| letter from Mr.. Fritter. stating that he is
satisfied that she was well treated as We
! had been kind In the past to himself and
| child. Mrs. v. W. MORTON

BOTH DISCHARGED.
Alleged Assailnnts Of John w, Brooks
Get on.


Get on.
The trial Of Michael Cudmore and Daniel
Lynch. who are charged with having as
saulted John W. Brooks and James
O'Grady, the night Of August last, near
Langdon. was had before Judge Kimball
and jury yesterday afternoon. Messrs.
c. Maurice Smith and Albert Sillers ap-
peared as counsel for the prisoners.
Mr.. John w. Brooks, who was the first
witness. testified that he was driving with
his wife and son and Miss Brinkman on
the Bladensburg road near Langdon
about $50 o'clock on the night in aues-
ton. when he was suddenly attacked by
Cudmore and Lynch. The latter, he said.
attempted to grab the horses bride, and
Cudmore tried to seize the bar of the car
rfage. He whipped up his horse and man.
aged to get away from the accused. Cud-
more and Lynch followed rapidly after
the carriage and called out to Mr.. Brooks
to stop, but he did not do so, and finally
escaped.
On croSs-eXamination Mr.. Brooks said
that he had no doubt of the identity of the
accused being his assailants, as the moon
on the night in question was shining bright
ly and the street lamps were lighted. There
were, he said. six other men near the place
where Cudmore and Lynch attempted to
assault him, and who seemed to be friends
of the accused, but they took no part in
any unlawful proceedings.
Mrs. Brooks, wife of the preceding wit
ness, said she was in the carriage at the
time of the alleged attempted assault She
corroborated what Mr.. Brooks had said in
reference to that event, but was unable
to identify either Cudmore or Lynch as
the parties who had made the assault
Counsel for the defense announced that
they had no question to ask the witness
Eugene Brooks. son of John w. Brooks
also corroborated his fathers testimony
but, like his mother, was unable to identity
Cudmore and Lynch the men who had
tried to assault Mr.. Brooks.
Mr.. James O'Grady, who. it was also
charged, had been assaulted by Cudmore
and Lynch on the same evening. said that
while riding on his bicycle near Langdon
shortly before 10 o'clock, he was hailed by
Cudmore and ordered to stop, which he
did Cudmore, he said demanded to be
given a cigar, and when OGrady told him
he had none, asked for money. AT the
same time Cudmore ordered OGrady the
latter said, to hold up his hands. and Cud-
more then searched O'Grady, but got moth
ing. After calling the latter very often
SiVe name, Cudmore said O'Grady was no
good and told him to go about his business
At this point the counsel for defense
asked the court to take the case from the
jury and discharge the prisoners on the
ground that the government had failed to
make out its case.
Judge kimball agreed to this and dis
charged both Cudmore and Lynch.
