A BIG CROWD THERE.
Benches Crowded With People to See
the Passion Play Pictures

A very large audience saw the cine
photograph pictures of the Passion play
at Garfield park last night. The lights
were steadier and the pictures more
distinct than on the first evening, but
they should be brighter. Many Of the
people who went out to the park IN We
hicles were unable to see the pictures
satisfactorily as all positions OF van
tage were taken long before the eXhi-
bitIon commenced.
Tonight will probably be the last
night of the pictures. AS on the pre-
vious evenings, MarshalPS band VIII

COFFEES

Some are cheap now. Cheap
cereal adulterated coffees are
very plentiful and are forcing
down the prices of the old
Kona product, especially the
medium and lower grades
with which they compete.
The higher grades of I-l-
and coffees have declined a
little in sympathy.
Our customers are the first
to benefit by reductions.
Fine coffees are scarce and

the law" We assure our readers In
Hawaii that the Argonaut's inter
probation OF the law is not only not
malicious, but that it is a fair and
truthful representation OF the facts
and the decision. Eminent lawyers
prscticing before the Federal trib-
unals here have assured us that the
Argonaut's article was a fair state
ment and succinct digest Of the
decision OF the court. There was no
attempt to color or distort it. The
decision is the law, and the Argo-
naut stated the law as the court has
construed it.
For the benefit of our readers in
Hawaii, we reiterate our statements
in the plainest and strongest Ian
guage. Under this decision, Con-
gress may, after Hawaii is formally
annexed, govern that country abso-
lutely as it pleases. H. may exclude
any Of the inhabitants from the con-
tinental confines of the United
States. 1t may prohibit the import
alton of Asiatic coolies, 1t may de.
port the coolies at present in the
islands. 1t may abolish the con-
tract-labor law there existing. 1t
may enforce the eight hour labor
law now existing on Federal terri
tory. 1t may rule the islands di-
rectly from Washington, as an Eng.
lish crown colony is ruled. 1t may
deprive the islands entirely Of local
government, or it may leave them
under military governor. We re-
peat that, after Hawaii has been an
nexed, Congress has absolute power
over it and over its inhabitants. All
Of these things the Honolulu Adver-
tiser may learn-after it has become
Americanized.-The ArgonaW.

MAYOR BAILEY WOULDN'T.
Declined to Surrender Ballot Boxes
to the County Commissioners.

The county commissioners sent a
messenger and a horse and wagon to
the city hall yesterday for the ballot
boxes to be used at next Tuesday, s
election. Mayor Bailey refused to sur
render the boxes, for what seems to
be a good and sufficient reason, and
they continue to repose in the vault
in the police department.
Mayor Bailey's refusal was for the
reason that the elly-Langstaff cleo
ton contest for the county treasure
ship is on. and the ballots cast at the
last election have not been removed
from the boxes. The commissioners
were notified that the boxes would be
delivered on an order from court
Attorneys Joseph Jeffries and James
r. Burnett were week ago appointed
by the court to remove and seal the
contents of ballot boxes throughout the
county for possible use during the con-
test. They have been at work in the
suburban towns and will seal the
Scranton returns probably today.

WYOMING AVENUE
EXTENSION SIGNED
Improvement Measure Approved by the
City's Chief Executive.
MAYORS SIGNATURE is AFFIXED
No Opposition Was Made to the Orr
dinance After II Reached the Mayor
But Many Property Owners Asked
That II BE signed--Bciict Exists
That the Cost win Not Have to BE
Provided Until the Fiscal Year
Iann

As indicated in The Tribune week
ago, Mayor Bailey has signed the wy
oming avenue extension ordinance. he
affixed his signature to the measure
yesterday.
mo opposition to the extension
said Mayor Bailey to a Tribune re-
porter yesterday, has been presented
to me. Yes, the absence of any oppo-
sition influenced me as / learned that
all the affected property owners want
ed the avenue extended and many 9TH
ers wrote or verbally expressed to me
their wish that l would favor the or
dirauCe.
"The options obtained on the prop
critics represent over $57 1000 but l am
satisfied the Improvement will not reach
a total of 100000. / am satisfied that
the city controller, city solicitor and
/. who, according to the ordinance, are
commissioners to secure the right or
way from the property owners, can per-
form that office so there will no neces-
sity of the appointment of viewers and
litigation"
The extension ordinance makes no
provision for an appropriation. If the
extension was to be made during the
next fiscal year, beginning the first
Monday in April, the cost would have
to be provided in the general appropri-
alton ordinance and failing in this the
court would give Judgment against the
city and order a special levy to cover
the cost City officials however, do
not anticipate any such contingency as
it is not expected that the commission
or board of viewers will finish their
work this year.
The supporters of the measure have
contended that settlement with the
property owners can be arranged for
about half of the total amount repre-
sented by the options. They say there
will be no trouble and very little eX-
pense in treating with the Delaware
and Hudson company for the removal
of its tracks from off the site of the
proposed avenue to its own land on the
westerly side. II is claimed that the
company is anxious to facilitate the
improvement as it can conveniently
move its tracks and it's land holdings
in that locality would be greatly in
creased in value.

When court opened yesterday morn
ing It was reported that one of the
Jurors in the OlChefski case, Edward
Shick, stonemason of South Abingdon,
was seriously i'll in the jury room and
unable to come into court. He became
sick during the evening and at mid
night his condition was so bad that Dr,
j. T.. O'Brien was summoned TO attend
him.
Judge Archibald was 10th to continue
the case after so much labor and time
had been expended on it, and decided
to nut it over for a while in the hope
that the sick juror might recover. This
proved to be a wise course for at noon
time Mr.. Shick communicated to court
that he was much improved and would
be ready to go into the box in the af-
ternoon.
At 1.30 O'Clock the jury came in and
the hearing of the testimony for the
defense was resumed.
Daniel Langowski, the Polish editor
who was on the stand at adjournment
the previous afternoon, continued his
tale of how he happened to be pass
ing Michalowsky's saloon at 12.15
o'clock on the night of the explosion
and seeing a light within, thought to
get beer, and going to the door to
try it discovered a strong odor of gas.
He meant to tell MichalowslSy about
it but he found that the Michalowsky
family was in bed and decided not to
disturb them. believing that his discov-
cry was hardly of enough consequence
to warrant arousing them. He also
testified to having seen the Olchefskis
Immediately after the explosion and
that they were only partially dressed.
The furniture was in good condition
when it was being carried out and he
was positive that the chair bottoms
were then intact.
Mrs. Anna Loshak, who lives on Elm
street near Olchefskis barn, testified
to having seen Olchefski on frequent
occasions carrying bags of feed and
the like from his store to the barn
late at night.

OILS. The testimony, even that of the
prosecution, showed beyond all ques-
tion that at the very most Mr.. Rice
was only guilty of defending himself,
but, contrary to all expectations, the
jury brought him in guilty.
Judge Archibald imposed a nominal
sentence of IS fine, but 1t had scarcely
been entered of record when he re-
pealed the sentence, set aside the ver-
dict and ordered a rule for a new trial
to enter. At argument court, when
the rule came up, Judge Archibald did
not wait for any discussion, but
promptly ordered a new trial, accom-
panying the order with the comment
II am convinced that the jury con-
suited its prejudlces rather than its
judgment in this case"
Yesterday the re-trial took place be-
fore Judge Archibald, while he was
waiting for the sick Ochelski Juror to
recover, and a verdict was rendered
acquitting Mr.. Rice and placing the
costs on the prosecutor.
Interest, during the morning, CEN
tered in court room No. 2, where Mrs.
Emma stephens was ling prosecuted
by Mrs. w. Il. Duggan, agent of the
Board OF Associated Charities for
keeping house of i'll repute on Frank
lin avenue. The defendant on the pre-
vious day feigned illness when a dep
uty sheriff went after her with a.
capias. A doctor was sent down by
order of court to examine her and
found her in bed with her shoes on.
This being reported back to court, it
was ordered that she be taken into
custody. and at o'clock p. m. she was
escorted to the county Jail. that she
might be on hand in the morning when
wanted.
