LYNCH A JOINT KEEPER.
Citizens of MiItonvaie Take Law Into
Their Own Hands.
DEATH MARS THEIR CRUSADE.

Clay Center, Kan, Sept. 10 At
Miltonyale. Cloud county, to-day
the law aud order league attempted
to rid the town OF joints, with the
result that one citizen was shot and
seriously wounded and the jointist
who fired the shot was caught and
lynehed.
For several months the liquor
sellers have operated in bold defiance
of the church element, and recently
q vigilance committee was formed
by many of the best residents for
the purpose OF enforcing the prohib
itory law. To-day committee OF
fourteen citizens began the work OF
raiding the joints. Joe Bennett s
place was first visited, and little re-
sistance was encountered. His
liquor was poured into the alley AMI
his fixtures smashed.
Next the committee went to Pete
Hammeril's saloon. The place was
found locked, but the door wss bro
ken in with axes. Just as the door
flew open a shot was fired from the
inside and B. F. Miller, editor OF
the AIiltonvale Press, fell. The shot
struck him in the face.
Hammern escaped through a rear
door, but was pursued and captured
in a cellar. He was placed under
arrest. The news Of the shooting
spread so quickly that crowd Of
100 indignant men soon gathered
and took the prisoner from the off,
GERS and Iynched him. Hammeril
was taken to the edge of the town
and hanged to tree.
The law and order league then
resumed its crusade and demolished
every Joint in town and notified the
keepers to leave the county. within

Honolulu Woman Jailed at Los An
geles for Shady Transactions.


Late exchanges give details of the
arrest at Los Angeles of Mrs. Helen
NJ. Shaw, claiming to be a resident of
this city. She is said to be an all
round confidence operator. After her
arrest she admitted to detectives that
she had left the Hawaiian capital to
avoid being prosecuted and that she
had been concerned in shady trans
actions in Oakland and Salt Lake.
The woman stopped at the Wood
lawn hotel in Los Angeles, where she
ran up bill of $500. When pressed
for payment she turned over promis-
sorry note as security, but the signers
of the note were mythical. She was
then arrested for swindling. She also
secured 800 worth of teeth from a
dentist, giving her check therefor,
which came back marked "no funds. -
She also displayed on frequent occa-
sions a 50, 800 check, purporting to
have the signature Of J. ID. Spreckels
at the bottom. She is described as
about 80 years old, very stylish dres-
ser and good talker. She claimed to
have left Honolulu about seven
months ago.
Marshal Brown could not identify
the woman this morning, saying that
she probably lived here under anoth.

Nearly every instance where the
open saloon has been experiment
ed with in the States it has proved
highly satisfactory, but the people
have yet to be enlightened on
what authority the Cabinet goes
ahead and makes ruling applica
BILE to Honolulu. The mayors
and marshals of American cities
the Governors and the President
have no right to make such rulings
unless specially directed by the
various Legislative bodies whose
mandates they fulfill. Unless
there is some law not yet brought
to notice, the Cabinet has no more
right to demand the opening OF
saloon doors than it has to specify
the kind of locks that shall be
used on the doors of Fort street
merchants. In the end the open
door will be an advantage to all
parties since it will do away with
a class of barroom loafers that the
average saloon keeper does not
care for. 1t is not so much the
ruling as the manner in which the
Cabinet has gone at it that creates
criticism. The action may be
beneficial in waking up the PEG
pie so that the next Legislative
body will deal with the question
fairly and squarely.

the Legislative devil around the
constitutional stump.
In an attempt to prove its case
our contemporary has shot off
into vein of possibilities, by no
means probabilities, which we do
not believe members of the Con-
stitutioual Convention intended
should be considered in the inter
probation of the section referred
to. There is just one way to settle
this question and that is carry it
before the Supreme Court. Our
contemporary started the discus
sion, and now it can win the pub
lie plaudits by spending little
money in proving its case before
the court of last resort. Get out
an Injunction and assist the public
financially as well as mentally
and politically. Have the courage
of conviction and appropriate a
few dollars to everlasting glory
and the public welfare. Some
lawyer might be willing to
fight it for glory, and the
costs of the court will not be
large. Pour a little new journa-
lism oil on the tagging wheels of
governmental justice. 1t may cost
something but in case of such
Importance money is no object.

The fate of the new Seattle line
depends very much on the state OF
Jim Hills mind when he gets the
details Of the City of Columbia's
experience here. Hill is one OF
the most unrelenting fighters to
be found among the business men
OF the United States. If he once
takes off his coat and starts in for
business here, there will be plenty
of money expended and the man
holding the longest pocket book
will win out.

SIDEW ALKS.

No little complaint has been
made by property holders regard
ing the sidewalks in the newly
developed resident districts. Many
of those raising objections show
an ignorance of the law. Section
1873, of the compiled Laws reads
after the establishment of the
grades of streets in Honolulu as
by law prescribed, the Minister
may require the owners of the
land adjoining any street, the
grade of which has been establish
ed, to construct sidewalks in &C
cordance with the grade of the
street and to comply with the re-
gulations regarding the material
and construction of such side
walks"
Where the Interior department
has apparently given cause for
criticism is in being too lenIent
with those who are slow in carry
Jog out the sidewalk demands OF
the public. The following section of
the law provides, if any owner
after receiving notice to construct
a sidewalk shall refuse or neglect
TO do the work, the department
may, after sixty days, go ahead
with the work and force the pro
partv owner to pay for it.
What the property owner
anxious to have sidewalks needs
to dc is to brace up the Interior
department in its attitude toward
his less enthusiastic neighbor.
1t is the property owner not the
government that pays the side
walk fiddler.

WANT THE BATTLEsHIPs.
Residents OF HonRkong Highly Pleased
with Mckinley Policy.


Hongkong, September 2l.-The
information that the battleships
Iowa and Oregon and four more
regiments of American troops have
been ordered to Manila has been
received with open expressions of
satisfaction by the American and
English residents. 1t is accepted
as significant that the UnitedStates
is to be a factor in Asiatic politics
and that the Diplomacy of Dewey
and Consul General Wildman has
triumphed, both in the dealings
with the Filipinos and in their
advocacy of an open door policy.
A high official here said:
All the world is proud of Nc
Kinley. In taking the Philippines
he has given them to all. Now lei

THE LOEBENsTEIN INCIDENT.

Does the Star mean to say that
the Government has no right I'M
der the Constitution to employ a
member of the Legislature as a
day laborer? 1t is true that there
might be no end of contracts
which Cabinet might give. To
follow up the line of argument
taken by our contemporary, the
Cabinet should refuse to give the
Star Office job printing and adver-
Using. This work is done under
contract and member of the Leg
islature derives direct financial
benefit therefrom. lie it is uncon.
stitutional for the Cabinet to EN-
ploy Mr.. Loebenstein, and it is
constitutional for the Cabinet to
make contracts with the Star, then
all Mr.. Loebenstein has to do is to

Speaking of American white
labor on the plantations, the Ad-
vertiser says: "That the move
ment can be made success is be-
you'd question. That it will be
made success is quite another
question" The planter is no
better than average humanity and
does not branch off into new
sch emes until he has to. From the
way things are pointing now it
looks as if the planter would have
to make white labor a success or
some of the plantations will be
reduced to weed producers.

DIFFERENT VIEWS.
MaIoney Thinks There Was a Crooked
Deal All Around.


Great Falls, Dec. 13.-Some days ago
the two cases of manslaughter or u
der recently tried in Choteau were men,
toned in these columns. that of Hank
Maloney who, at Shelby, shot down a
poor sheep herder whom he had been
bullying all day prior to the shooting.
and hat of James Collins who in the
heat of passion shot another man for
performing what he took to be an en-
croachment on his rights. Maloney got
five years in the pen; Collins was sem
fenced to life.
Shortly before being taken to the
p~enitentiary, each was interviewed. and
the statements made very clearly show
whatk kline OF man each Is. The n who
got less than he deserved, thinks that
he had a crooked deal all around, while
the other for whom some little eN-
cuse can be made. takes his medicine
like a man. The latter, James Collins.
said:
Yes. I am perfectly satisfied. ! knew

ed. they gave me a sentence that is

ced me a little heavy, but have no COM

markedly well for me under the cir
cumstances, and ! give him credit for
doing the best he could. Where there is

Maloney, who could have received as
long a term a term as Collins, whine
out the following declaration Of griev-
ances: Il have been jobbed from the
very time I killed Lorenzo Woods. I
still claim 1t was in self defense and al
most a compulsory crime on my part
These same men who have done the
Jobbing tried their very best TO get up

We stayed in the straits of Gibraltar
a week or two after this. but We never
heard another word from the BILLY

1 remember how strongly Dewey used
to impress every nan of us aboard ship.
He was brim full of life, energy and APP
preciative wisdom. In person he was
hardly OF average size, he had coal
black hair and eyes; a long, thick
moustache, an olive complexion, with
an aqulline noise that gave him some
thing of a Hebraic cast Of countenance.
He was then i'm the prime of life. being
about 30 years of age. well formed, with
a courtly, ~insinuating air; soft and al
most caressing in speech. except when
aroused to anger. when his sharp. quick
tones would go through the person ad-
dressed. like a SILVER through an ague-
stricken victim.
Dewey was popular with the men,
much more SO than with his associate
officers. When things went wrong. when
some mishap occurred. arising from ne
elect or in%attention. the offender would
be treated to a crescendo. starting with
a calm sarcasm. and rising into a
storm of reproach. graded according to
the enormity of the offense.
