Marriage Bureau Love Letters That Fill a
 Trunk.
Officers Appalled, at the Num- Der of Women Who
 Answered the Ad.
TO BE EXAMINED IN COURT
Tho Cattle Kinq Will Be Compelled to Give an Account of His
 Resources.

The third divorced wife Of George White, the well-known Round Valley cattle king, has been leading him a merry chase in Judge Richards court for the past three weeks, though the proceedings had been conducted so quietly that they were not made public until yesterday. She Is after money, but the nearest approach yet made to the goal is a bunch of love letters.
 All the trouble arises from the fact that when the third wife got her di- vorce she was allowed a Judgment for s105,000 as her part of the property, though she has had what the sporting class would call a terrible run for the money" and the money seems as far away from her as ever.
 Information came to Attorney Lin forth last month to the effect that there were bonds worth s50,000 in the vaults of the Safe Deposit Company. These bonds were supposed to be the property of the cattle king. Acting on this in- formation the box of J. J. Whitney was levied upon, but there was no bond of any character therein. A few hours later the information came that the bonds were in MT. Whitney's name in the box at the Pacific Coast Savings Union. The Sheriff was dispatched to the place, but it was too late, for Whit ney had been there and taken away whatever property he had.
 To come to a proper understanding of the case it should be said that Mrs. J. J. Whitney is the spiritual medium by whom Captain White swears. He thinks she has shown him the fountain of eter- nal youth and brought him to a happy marriage with the fourth wife. It is her spiritual advice that causes him to rejoice each day that he Is still on earth
 When the Sheriff began the business of levying on the alleged property of the millionaire who is an adept at hid ing his effects they got some strange idea that certain trunk in the posses sion of Mrs. Whitney contained the coveted bonds. They seized the trunk, Deputy Sheriff Fitzgerald feeling sure that he had a handful of Government bonds When he took off several layers of tissue paper and perfumed tapa cloth from the promising bundle he found it was bunch of loving epistles from girls and widows who had answered the cattle kings advertisement for a wife, inserted some months ago in Wedding Bells.
 There were enough letters from women to fill this room," said Mrs. Whitney yesterday, "and the Deputy Sheriffs consumed fully an hour paw ing over them and hunting for the al- legged property"
 There has been no more substantial approach than this discovery to the coveted goal of ready money" and the officers have taken another course. They have decided to ask Captain White a number of questions on an order of examination as to his wealth. He will have to appear before Judge Hebbard on Saturday and tell how he

Indeed, there is an absence of concern as to whether he is worried or not. It is fully understood that he has troubles already, that the water front has had a queer look ever since a part of it's destiny fell into his guiding hand. All that is wanted is the truth, and there is no profit in watching Colnon beat the chaff from a man of straw.
 The nature of a mans trade is no bar to his eligibility to participate in the good things that are being handed out by the men who are in control of af- fairs in connection with the building of the ferry depot Wood workers, stone men, metal-workers, painters and the ragtag and bobtail of the small fry among the contractors are reaping the profit that comes to all who are willing to participate in the wholesale rob bery that is being practiced at the ex- pense of the State.

Later the rig was sent out to the pound, and followed it, hoping that the Poundmaster could aid me. He said that he could not give me the animal unless l paid the money, and it is still there. I have no money, and next Saturday it will be sold unless some one intervenes, and I will be deprived of a way to make a living for myself and family. I have filed a protest with the Supervisors, and Friday they will consider it. I hope they will con- slider my position and poverty, for if they don't I will not know which way to turn for employment.

GALVANIZED IRON CITED
A Case in Which the Contractor Was Permitted to Proftably Disregard
 Specihcations

Harbor Commissioner Colnon has been heard from. He has a paper of his own, which rushes to his defense at every chance, and of late these rushes have been frequent. When he wants the defense to be particularly strong, no trusty henchman wields the pen; Colnon does it himself.
 For several days there has been a series of exposures concerning the crooked work which has marked the construction of the ferry building. MT. Colnon has come close to the line of fire, and naturally has felt perturbed. He replies in a column, in which he carefully avoids saying anything bear ing on the charges that public money has been diverted to the pockets of contractors. These charges have been freely made, and if MT. Colnon has on hand facts wherewith to controvert them, possibly he is saving them for the benefit of the Grand Jury. His re- ply is concentrated against a single point of no importance. It does not at tempt to explain why the people of the State pay for one sort of a ferry build ing and get another costing them the same, but costing the builders much less.
 MT. Colnon takes up the charge that the floor of the grand nave is inferior to the floor specified in the contract. It has already been stated that there is no desire to do injustice to any system of floor construction, and whether the floor is good, bad or indifferent is of no moment in the discussion. The fact that it was put in for thousands of dol lars less than the contractor would have had to expend in putting in the floor which he agreed to put in is the thing to be considered. That the change

 Attorney Linforth thinks White is the most artful dodger in the State, as he has been pursuing him in vain ever since the judgment was rendered in fa- vor Of the third wife in 1895.
 The play now being made by the cat tie king is that all his property is owned by his nephew, J. s. Rohr- paugh, who is up in the cattle country, put the attorneys have decided to ex- haust every possible means to boil the case down to such a point as to corner some Of the money that is known to be the property of Captain White himself.

CATION TO Mrs Davies.


Al special meeting or the veslry

Cathedral OF which the late Theo. II.
Davies was a member. held last even
ing the following letter Of coincidence
TO the family OF the deceased was
adopted.
To Mrs. TheO. Il. Davies and family:
Inasmuch as the overwhelming news
Of the death of Mr.. Theophilus Harris
Davies has reached Honolulu. the Con-
gregation of ST. Andrews Cathedral
of which Mr.. Davies was a devout
member and liberal supporter desires
TO eyince the profound sympathy which
everyone feels with his bereaved widow
ana children. The hearty prayers of
all the members will rise to the Throne
OF Grace that they Will be cOmforted
in their distress by that Almighty
Hand which gave, though it has taken
away, the loving and tender husband
and father and the faithful and devot-
ed friend-only to scenes Of greater
bliss-and that they may be strength
ened with that enduring faith which
assures them, that though he cannot
cross the gulf to come TO them, yet
they will in Gods good time go to
him.
The loss which the Church and the
benevolent societies in Hawaii will
sustain is we'll nigh irreparable and
! the grief of his former fellow laborers
in good works is hard to bear, but
! the deepest fortitude is felt to the God
of All Mercies who bestowed so great
! bounty for so long a time by the
hand of our departed friend.
