Three young white men who gave their
names and ages as Robert Selby. seventeen
years: William Philips, nineteen years,
and Frederick Turner, eighteen years, We're
arrested about 80 o'clock yesterday after
noon by Policeman McTaggart, of the
Benning post, on the complaint Of Mrs.
Carrie Davis, the wife of Elisha K Davis,
q carpenter who lives at Twining City.
The men were brought to No. 9 station
in the patrol wagon, and are held on a
charge Of disorderly conduct The offence
of which they are said to be guilty is a
serious one, and it is probable that when
they are arraigned in court this morning
they will be confronted with another
charge.
According TO the statement made TO the
police by Mrs. Davis she was held up by
the men and insulted while driving near
the eastern end of the Pennsylvania Ave
nue. Bridge. which spans the Eastern
Branch near Anacostia. Mrs. Davis claims
that she was driving toward home when
tn emen suddenly approached her buggy
and taking hold of the bride of the horse
forced the animal to halt. 1t is said
the men then drew near the buggy and ad-
dressed Mrs. Davis in insulting language,
tended TO take her from the buggy. She
became greatly alarmed at the menacing
attitude and language Of the men, and call
ed for help with the result that they were
frightened off and ran up the road toward
Benning. Mrs. Davis, who is a young and
comely woman, realizing that she had
been the victim of an unpleasant eXpe-
rience, and that the men We're likely to
escape, pluckily started in pursuit.
The men had quite start of her, but
she whipped up her horse and by hard
driving managed to overtake them at Ben
ming. where she reported the occurrence to
Policeman McTaggart, who is stationed at
that point. On hearing the story as re-
started after the men and overhauled them
after short chase. He examined them
closely, and after Mrs. Davis had identi-
fed them seemed satisfied of their guilt.
He then called the wagon from No. sta
tion and when it arrived turned, the men
over to the officer in charge
Policeman MeTaggart then turned his
attention to Mrs Davis. who was in an
extremely nervous condition. due to the
incident of the insult and the subsequent
chase The woman had suffered an almost
entire collapse and was almost hysterical.
She was cared for and later was taken
home by her husband. who on hearing OF
the affair arrived on the scene shortly after
the arrest OF the men was made. The
horse which Mrs. Davis was driving was
so completely exhausted by the long run
after the men that ii was found necessary
to kill it, Mr.. Davis valued the animal
highly and attempted to save its life, but
its condition was such from being over
heated and overexerted that he decided
to end IT'S sufferings with a bullet.

ARE WARNED
TO GIVE HAWAII
A WIDE BERTH
Old Laws Still In Effect "A Contract
Laborer Is Practically a Slave.

Recent press reports have brought
to light the fact that Hawaiian
planters have been making contracts
with laborers in the north of Italy
to work on the plantations are still
under the old Hawaiian laws, or, in
other words, contracting laborer
practically sells himself into slavery
for period covering the time Of his
contract. The San Francisco Labor
Council has taken full cognizance Of
this, and accordingly instructed its
secretary to communicate with the
proper authorities in Italy. Secre-
tary Rosenberg has prepared a let
ter, which will be sent to Humbert,
King of Italy, Pope Leo, the Italian
newspapers and the labor organiza-
tions Of that country, the substance
Of which is as follows:
In 1897 an attempt was made to
lure California workmen to Hawaii,
but when the labor laws OF that
country were published by the San
Francisco Federation OF Trades not
one workingman responded. Dur
ing the days OF the fight for annex
alton the representatives Of the
planters promised that the obiec-
tionable laws would be repealed, but
their promises have not been kept.
A recent decision OF the Supreme
Court iu the case OF Robert Robert
son va. Barry Baldwin ct ais, was to
the effect that contracts entered into,
whether voluntary or involuntary,
could at no time become .involun-
tary, and the protection Of the
thirteenth amendment could not be
claimed. The letter concludes:
And so to day the American flag
floats over territory where overseers
with whip in hand urge on the toll
ers in the cane fields to harder labor.
Once in Hawaii under contract to
labor there is no escape, as you
readily see by the inclosed report.
In conclusion | want to state that
the press reports sometime ago gave
it that the Italian Government had
forbidden the wholesale emigration
of its subjects to Hawaii. Now the
reports state that the objection
had been withdrawn and that the
laborers would come from Northern
Italy exclusively. Does the Italian
Government want to get rid OF it's
discontented workmen, who are be-
coming troublesomes
The promises of the planters
agents are lies, lies. lies. Warn your
countrymen. Bring this at your
earliest opportunity to the know
ledge of radical members of the
Italian Parliament and inform the
officials OF Italian trades unions and
reformers in general of this nefarious
plot. / am; yours for humanity and
freedom.
Ed. ROSENBERG,
Rec. and Cor Sec. S. f. Labor
Council.
Accompanying this letter copy
OF the old Hawaiian labor laws
which the courts have decided are
still in effect, was also mailed. These
laws, among other things, provide
that il any contract laborer shall
leave his "master" he may be arrest
ed and punished.--S. r. Call.
