TIMMONY IN A SEVERE MOOD
IMPOSES HEAVY FINES IN TWO
ASSAULT CASES.
Both, However, Were Aggravated
Cases-Mrs. Erwin's Revenge Cost
Her SIS, McKee's Was $50.

Mrs. u D. Erwin of Al South West
Temple. who brutally assaulted Mrs.
Hattie Hogan. living in the same house,
last Saturday. was fined $75 by Judge
Timmony yesterday. An appeal to the
district court was taken, and a bond
of 500 was furnished for her appear
ance.
After hearing the evidence his honor
said he was in doubt whether or not to
send the woman TO Jail
Don't do ii, judge, for Gods sake"
exclaimed the much wrought-up hus-
band.
The court remarked that it was the
husbands misfortune to be married to
such a woman. He didn't think that
the punishment of being sent to Jail
was sufficiently severe for such an Of
Tense, but the Jail being such an unfit
place, induced him to make the pun
ishment a fine.
Mrs. Hogan was on hand. with one
side of her face beaten black and blue,
and swollen until the eye was out of
sight. She said she had known Mrs.
Erwin for six years, to her sorrow. Mrs.
Hogan was very garrulus and wanted
TO relate lot of ancient history, and
IT took a concentration of demands
from the court and lawyers to hold her
down to brevity and the case in point
Saturday morning she went to get 81
bucket of water, but Mrs. Erwin in
terfered. and threw both her and the
bucket aside. and said she would show
her whether or not she would get any
water. Then" said Mrs. Hogan, ''she
threw me down and pelted me with her
fists. l called for help. and she said if
didn't stop calling she would kill me.
She tried TO pull me into her room. and
l feared if she got me in she would
kill me-"
On discrimination she declared
that her life was in danger from Mrs.
Erwin, and that she had knuckled IN
der to her every time. She denied sue
cesSively the charges of Mrs. Erwin
that she had tried to prevent her from
getting water; that she had called Mrs.
Erwin bad names in the presence Of
Mrs. Froshee; that she had poured
Stops into her drinking water, and into
her path to annoy her.
All these charges were testified to by
Mrs. Erwin, who offered them as the
justification for being provoked to
make the assault. which she admitted
having done. The testimony of Mrs
Froshee cOrroborated some of the al
legations made by Mrs. Erwin relating
TO bad names and slops. On almost
every point. Mrs. Erwin declared Mrs.
Hogan guilty of the ofenses that the
after had imputed to her.
Judge TimmOny then pronounced
sentence, filming Mrs. Erwin $75.

Puerto Rican problems confronting the
United States. The attempt of the mill
tary authorities to establish exchange
on the basis of two Puerto Rican dol
lars for one American has completely
failed An arbitrary change from the
existing silver basis to the United

II is not unlikely that there will be
complications with France if the United

cession to the French Railway COM
pany in Puerto Rico Many of the eX-

as such, contrary to the American con-

that they be respected.
Education is the most difficult prob
lem of all. A great majority of the
Puerto Ricans are in the densest ignOr-
ance The parish priests do not favor
instruction, believing that it tends to
ALLEVIATE the youth from the Spanish
Catholic church. If the United States
can obtain the friendly. cooperation of
the priesthood many troubles will be
removed, but it will be necessary for
the American authorities to act in such
a manner towards the church in Puerto
Rico as to eradicate the strong preju-
dices against Americans now very
widely held there.

mel Curtis Guild, jr., inspector general
of the corps. Colonel Guild said he
had found the officers of the volunteer
forces willing to accept suggestions as
to sanitary precautions, and in many
cases he had been thanked for them.
He had made frequent inspections Of
the hospitals. In the beginning there
was a. lack of government supplies for
these institutions. But the deficiency
had been supplied by the Red Cross.
Witness testified to the devotion of
the medical department, and said that
he had never found a case of depriVa-
ton due to the failure of the govern
ment TO furnish proper supplies. He
was also unable to recall any case in
which there had been any suffering in
a hospital on account of neglect. Colo
mel Guild, in an official report, had ex~
pressed the opinion that one attendant
to six patients was not sufficient, and
he said this opinion was based upon the
inflamed condition of the public mind,
but he believed that as a rule the at
tendants could not give the proper at
tention.
Asked if he was still of the opinion
that there would have been a shortage
of supplies for the sick but for the
great activity of the Red Cross, Colo
mel Guild said he had changed his
opinion somewhat, as he had since
learned that steps might have been
taken to secure government supplies,
but he was still of the opinion that
there would have been delay.

General Wilson and Captain Howell,

CUBAN EVACUATION.
Spaniards Seek an Extension of Time
of Departure.

Havana, Oct. 1S.-A conference last
ing three hours was held this morning
between General Wade, General Butler
and Admiral Sampson, as to the con-
tents of the five official notes delivered
to the American commissioners yester-
day by the Spanish evacuation COM
mission.
The Spaniards claim that it will be
practically impossible to effect evacua-
ton in the short space Of time fixed by
the Americans. They disclaim all au-
thority to treat of anyspolitical, subjects
outside of the strict limits of military
evacuation. They insist the sovereignty
of Spain viii exist until - final treaty
of peace is signed in Paris.
In reply, Admiral Sampson personally
dictated a brief note, stating emphati-
cally that Dec. l would positively be
the date on which Spain's rights, claims
and sovereignty in the island of Cuba
would cease to exist. The American
note was delivered to General Parade
of the Spanish evacuation committee
this afternoon, by Captain Hart.
