VINO SENT Tnf POISON
QUESTION DETECTIVES CANNOT
ANSWER
CORNISH NOW OUT OF DANGER
A Great Crowd in Attendance at the
Botkin Case, Which Goes Over
the Holidays
Associated Press Special Wire

NEW YORK, Dec. 30. = The Adams
Cornish poisoning case remains as great II
mystery as ever. When the detective bu-
reau. the district attorneys office, the coro
ner's office and Others seeking to nnd a
solution of the strange case, ended their
labors for the day all said nothing had been
learned that might assist IN bringing the
guilty persons to justice.
The police are inclined to believe that the
person who sent the poison to Cornish Is
woman, although the evidence is OF the
most himsy character and is largely based
on opinions of more or less irresponsible
parties. Mr. Cornish. who was also pois-
oned at the time of Mrs. Adams death, is
now completely out of danger, though con
fined to his bed at the Knickerbocler Attn
letic club.
Captain McClusky denied that he had
placed, or contemplated placing, Mr. Cor
nish under surveillance. lie sent word to
the Knickerbocker Athletic club, however,
asking if Cornish was able to come to head
quarters. DR.. Coffin, who is attending Mr.
Cornish, replied that his patient would not
be able to leave his bed for two days He
said that his patient is out of danger, but
he did not want him to take any chances.
DIR. Coffin gave an interesting statement OF
how Cornish escaped death, while Mrs.
Adams. drinking from the same glass, was
killed by the deadly poison.
CORNISH mixed the poison, SAID lJr.
Coffin, ''and gave it to Mrs. Adams She
drank but little complaining that it was
bitter. Cornish then took the reminder
and drained the glass to the dregs. | think
that the reason Cornish was not killed is
that he drank the dregs and Mrs Adams
took the poison in solution The quantity
of powdered matter acted as an emetic and
cleared his stomach
When they found he was unable to come
to them, Captain McClusky and Mr.. Nc
Intyre. accompanied by stenographer,
went to the Knickerbocller Athletic club,
and We're in conference with Cornish for
more than an hour. Captain McClusky said
little had been learned that had not already
been published Cornish told him that the
silver holder had evidently been used, and
while it was marked sterling it was plat
ed. 1t was not Tiffany article but came
in a Tiffany box and had Tiffany card
in the package.
Late this afternoon an autopsy was held.
When the anatomical process was completed
and the parts of the body desired for analy-
sis were sealed up in jars, Coroners Physi-
clan Weston issued a report, in which he
reiterated his opinion expressed yesterday,
that death was due to the use of cyanide of
potassium.
No date has as yet been fixed for the
holding of the inquest in the case by the
coroner.

HAWAIIAN LEGISLATION
WILL CAUSE A CONTEST IN THE
HOUSE
Commission Members Form Factions
and the House Committee Takes
Still Another Tack

WASHINGTON, Dec. ga sharp con-
test will occur in the house over the legisla-
tion for the government of Hawaii, as the
majority ard minority of the committee on
territories do not agree as to the form OF a
bill. Neither do the majority. agree with
the report of the committee on foreign rela-
tons although the differences are not such
as to cause great difficulty. The majority
report Of the house committee changes the
bill introduced by Mr.. Hit only slightly,
with the exception OF the qualifications for
senators and representatives The property
qualifications are stricken out, and any citi.
zen who is voter and has been a resident of
Hawaii for three years is eligible.
Those who were citizens OF Hawaii on
August ~, 1898, are made citizens, of the
United States. One house will not be all
lowed to constitute the legislature in case the
other adjourns, nor will it be necessary to
have the sanction of three members to in
troduce bill in the legislature. The dele
gates to congress shall possess the same
qualifications as voter. Bonds issued on
the credit of the public domain shall be pay
teen years. One years residence must be
proven to obtain a divorce.
The minority report was prepared by Mr.
Fl. r. Ferguson delegate from Mexico,
who is member of subcommittee.
Mr. Henry Of Texas, who is also minor
ty member, is now absent. The report
gays that the minority is unable to agree to
some prominent features of the, bill as in

of that subcommittee, and continues:

A QUICK CAPTURE
A Georgia Absconder Under Arrest at
Tulare

Iuldre
ATLANTA, Ga, Dec. 29-The Constitu
tion will say tomorrow:
S. Lafayette Almand, Georgia mer-
chant, who is charged with absconding with
some forty of fifty thousand dollars, was
arrested in Tulare, Cal, last Sunday morn
ing, and Monday night an officer started
for California for the absconder.
Allmand was merchant, with headquar-
ters at Conyers, Ca, and did large busl-
ness throughout the state. He had the
confidence of the business men of the state
and almost unlimited credit. He appeared
to be hourishing when, about three or four
weeks ago he suddenly disappeared, and
when those who had trusted him examined
his affairs they claimed he had carried with
him several thousand dollars which he ought
to have turned over to them. just how
many were vctimzed cannot be said, as
all of them decided to keep quiet and try to
Allmand. Nor can the exact amount of
the money alleged to be taken be named, as
even the victims do not know, but it is es-
timated that the amount will be between
forty and fifty thousand dollars. Allmand
is young man, not more than 80 years of
age, and is well connected throughout the
state. He is married, and his family had
been residing in Conyers. Last Saturday
the sheriff of Rockdale county came to At
lanta and saw some of the parties interested
in the capture of Allmand. He said he
mad received information which led him to
believe that Altman was in Tuare, Cal
Sunday morning telegram was sent to that
town and Monday reply was received
stating that Allmand was under arrest.

1--WE also object to the property qualifica-
tions for members of the senate of the legis-
lature of Hawaii. This qualification also ex-
tends to the voters for members of that
branch ofthe legislature.
"A residence Of three years in Hawaii is
also necessary for. one to become qualified
voter. As our course is, or should be, to
Americanze those islands, we think a resi-.
dence of even less than one year would be
preferable.
1--WE think also that too great power is
given to the governor; especially do We OBJ
iect to his being empowered to nominate
part of the judiciary of that island for life.
eve believe that all the judges, as in other
territories. should be appointed by the presi-
dent, and from the bona fide residents OF the
territory for term Of four years. II life
judges are to be appointed at all. they should
be appointed by the president"
The minority make no objection to the
educational qualifications for citizenship, as
they believe this to have worked well in the

The Question Settled

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec 29.-The county
bridge over the Sacrar. .ento river, connect
ing the counties of Glenn and Butte, was
demolished by freshet, and the board Of
supervisors gave permission to the Chico
Bridge company to maintain toll draw
bridge. A stamer of the Sacramento Trans-
portation company struck the bridge and
damaged it to the amount of $3.50. Reim-
bursement was refused Upon action be-
ing brought for its recovery, Judgment was
given for the bridge company. The trhns-
portation company contended that the SUI
pervisors had no power to grant permit
to a private person to maintain a draw
bridge over navigable stream, but the sl-
preme court holds THAT the board had such
power and affirms Judgment.
