Gamblers Caugh

The Marshal, according to the
Advertiser, has received an anony-
nous letter from a Chinaman in
which be is informed that there are
three pakapio banks now running in
Honolulu, and also stating that the
Marshal is among the police officers
bribed by the gamblers.
TIE INDEPENDENT has called the
Marshal's attention to the opera
tions of two OF the banks, and we
have even furnished him with the
locality of them, the hour of draw
ings and the amounts disbursed.
These banks flourish as ever, but a
new bank has been raised, and a
number OF Chinese will have to an
swer charge of gambling before
Judge Wilcox next Wednesday.
We think the raid was rather pre-
mature, The statement in an even
ing paper that the officials receive
$1,000 week from the bank raided
seems somewhat improbable, as only
$3.50 were found on the premises, a
fact which seems to indicate, that
the bankers had not yet knuckled
to hard work.
1t would probably have been more
interesting il our clever detectives
had allowed the ''nev" to run on a
little longer and devoted their time
to the "old' banks and to simply
watching the new one.
Mr.. Robertson is the attorney for
the alleged bankers and his expert
ence in that kind OF cases will prob
ably help his clients to leave the
Court as innocent, nice Cinnamon,
ignorant of pakapio and poker and
other games punishable by our laws

1t was reported that arrangements

TOPICS ~ TIE DAY.

The Advertiser SAYS that "the
scheme of sending Mr.. Carter TO
Washington was arranged after it
had been learned definitely that
President Dolo was to go Washing
ton" This is absolutely untre. Mr.
Csrter's arrangements TO leave at
this time were practically made at
the time OF the Hawaiian mass meet
ing. The pressure of private and
semi-oflicial affairs compelled him
to postpone his departure to the
very last moment convenient. 1t is
far more probable that the knowl-
edge that Mr.. Carter was going,
with several doubling Senators in
view, encouraged the anuexationists
to play the very card which its OPP
ponents have wished to see played.

EDNA SAW DE WOLF.
Dramatic Visit Between the Divorced

New York, July 12.-During an inter
mission in the rehearsal at the Casino
a day or two ago Edna Wallace Hop
per, in an endeavor to acquire a breath
of fresh air, was looking out through
the window of one of the dressing
rooms on the south side of the stage
Her face suddenly lighted UP, her eyes
began to snap, and she forgot all about
the warm weather in an instant. Mr.
DeWolf Hopper. in one of the dressing
rooms of the Knickerbocker theater, on
the north side of the building, was fan
ming himself vigorously, and it was he
upon whose classic lineament his form
er wife's sweeping vision had rested.
Mrs. Hopper called to her ex-husband
and he shouted back a word of saluta-
ton. Then he climbed out upon the
fire escape, and she followed suit.
Say, Edna" shouted Mr. Hopper,
amiably, did you see 'Divorcons' at the
Fifth Avenue?"
Edna shook her cunning little head
by way Of an invitation to the speaker
to proceed.
You ought to see it the first time
you get a chance" he resumed, for the
way the husband and wife arrange
their little difficulty in the piece would
have been right in our line. We ought
to have done exactly as they did"
Then both Mr.. and Mrs. Hopper
laughed heartily and branched off into
other phases of pleasantly.

Marysville Expects to Entertain
Thousands of WoOdmen.

Quenemo, July 12.-The joint question
has been causing considerable trouble
in this city recently, and the controver-
sizes may result in additional complica-
lions.
1t has been said that County Attor-
ney Wolf has been demanding "hush
money" from the jointists.
Discussing the situation as it now
exists the Quenemo Republican says:
Some time ago the Republican men
toned the fact that the city council at
one of its meetings discussed the &C
tiOns of the county attorney in rela-
ton to the joint question, and among
other things the letters written by him
to certain parties in the town supposed
to be selling whisky, demanding hush
money" and promising protection in
case his demand was complied with.
Since the publication of the article. we
understand County Attorney Wolf has
tried to get possession of these incrinl-
mating letters, or a part of them, but
was unsuccessful.
Last week the city obtained possess
sion of the letters written by Wolf to
Omar Arnold, in which the demand for
hush money" was made. The city at
tOrney, G. w. Logan, was sent to To-
peka and laid the whole matter before
Attorney General Boyle. who now has
possession of the letters. Definite ac-
ton has been promised soon.
There is sufficient evidence now filed
with the attorney general to impeach
Mr.. Wolf. The matter rests with the
state administration. Will he be white
washed ?''

wATERwoRKs FOR GAYLORD.
City Council Considering Plans for
Fire Protection.

Gaylord. July IA plan is being dis
cussed and will soon be presented to
the town to provide Main street with
water mains and hydrants for the pub
lie use and as a protection against fire.
The plan is to raise a part of the cost
by subscription and the city pay the
balance.
The matter will be discussed at the
next meeting of the city council and put
in shape to be presented to our citizens
for their consideration. 1t is proposed
to erect tank or tower on the high
ground in the north part of town from
which the water can easily be conveyed
to and along Main street, the elevation
being sufficient to force the water from
the hydrants over any of the buildings
on that street.
The only expense to the city will be
the tank piping and labor, W. H. Has
kelI offering the use of wells and power
free of charge. The water supply of
these wells is practically inexhaustible
and of the best quality.

Eleven Lives Lost in a Tunnel
Under Lake Erie.

Cleveland, o., July 12.-The lives of
eleven men were snuffed out in the
twinkling of an eye in the big water
works tunnel that is being constructed
under the bottom of Lake Erie as a
result of an explosion of gas
Following are the names OF those
killed:

The tunnel is an immense affair, be-
ing projected to extend outward from
the shore for a distance of four and a
half miles, and it has been under con-
struct1on for more than a year. The
work has been attended with great
difficulty. About six weeks ago there
was an explosion of gas in the shore
end of the big hole, which killed eight
men and injured a number of others
The explosion last night occurred at
few minutes before o'clock, but no
body will ever be able to tell what the
cause was, or how it happened for
every witness is dead and the bodies
of all are lying where they fell, six
only man in the tunnel who escaped
death is Con O'DOnnel4 a lock tender
who was stationed 300 feet from the
shore. He heard the explosion, or series
of explosions. He says there were ten
of the shocks, and the conclusion was
something terrible, for it threw him off
his feet, and for hours he was in such
a dazed condition that he could scarce
ly remember what HAD happened. He
finally CROPPED his way out and told
what had occurred.
Two men, Patrick Varher and Martin
McCauley, were the first to venture
in the tunnel after the accident oc-
CURED. They made their way to a
lock $500 feet from the shore, but were
there overcome by the gas and fell to
the floor When they failed to return
a young man named James Clements,
son of one of the @len who was killed,
and who was employed as a mule driver,
went to their rescue. He found them
unconscious, lying over mule cart,
and succeeded in helping them to the
well at the shore end Of the tunnel. The
rescuers say that all the lights were
out beyond the 900 feet lock and that
they could not go further.
A second rescuing party was made up
of Patrick Gaytons. Mike Gaytons,
Mike McCauley, Dan Rogers, Barney
Hughes and Ed Corbett. 1t failed ut
terly in accomplishing anything, as the
tunnel was filled with foul gas and
