How Clerks Ensign and Fletcher
Raised the Wind.
EMPLOYED AT AUERBACH'S
ALLEGED THAT THEY MADE
AWAY WITH GOODS.
Arraigned Before McMaster and
Nielsen-Tom Hendrickson's Lat

Ofhce-Minor Cases.


Herman Ensign and John F4etcher.
two young men. formerly employed by
+. Auerbach & Bro, were arrested yes
terday on a half dozen charges OF petit
larceny, the complaints being filed by
T. H Atkins, the floor manager at the
Auerbach store. Ensign's case was
brought before Justice McMaster, and
in three complaints it is charged that
on Jan. Is he stole a suit Of clothes
worth $14; on Feb. IS, suit of clothes
worth IS, and on March IL. four half
dollars. Upon arraignment he admit
ted his guilt, but decided to enter a
plea of not guilty, desiring 10 consult
his friends. The bond was placed at
the minimum amount of $50, which ne
secured.
The complaints against Fletcher were
filed in Justice Nelson's court, and he
is charged with stealing two suits OF
underwear and two suits of clothes.
The defendant pleaded not guilty ana
his bail was fixed at $50 in each of the
three cases. He was held in the county
Jail for a few hours, but early in me
evening the bond was Forthcoming and
he was released.
The young men had been SUSPECTED
of taking things for some time, and
finally, by a little detective work. the
evidence was obtained which led to
their arrest, and revealed clever plot;
Ensign, who was a clerk, would senG
an article to Fletcher, a wrapper, VINO
would prepare the package and address
it out to q place for keeping until final
disposition could be made. In this way
no account was given of the goods.
Suspicion was first directed to them
by the information that they were
spending money much more freely than
their salaries would permit.

A Lodging House Fight.

Black eyes and SCARED noses result
ed from mix-up at the TemDleton
lodging house, "a East First South,
about 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
The participants were B. NJ. Post and
Frank Jones, both of whom were ar
rested for fighting, by Sergeant Janney.
In police court yesterday Jones made "a
statement, saying he went to the place
to see q. little girl, years old, in whom
he had some interest, although not sus-
tanning any relationship. He consid-
cred the lodging house a bad place and
wanted to put the child in school. He
asked Post about the child and blamed
him for having it there, whereupon, he
says, Post struck him over the head
with a chair several times and got him
down on the bed. One of Jones ewes
was swollen shut and both men were
besmeared with blood.
Post declared that Jones came into
his room cursing and threatened to kill
him, following it up by striking him
over the nose with a chair Post says
Jones has laid for him before. The little
girl appeared to be the bone of con-
tention, but it was not shown what re-
lation she sustained to either man.
Post had previously pleaded guilty to
fighting, but the court, after hearing
the statements of the two men, con-
Guided to discharge him. Jones was
fined $25 and went to Jail.

morning that Abel John Evans, who
was called as a. grand juror, would
claim exemption from that service on

Abel John did not ask to be excused,
and promptly went in as foreman of
the grand jury. the duties of which
will keep him busy for some time.

NIGHT SESSION.

For two hours the senate awaited the
return of the joint appropriations COM
mittee, for without the members who
We're wrestling with the appropriations
bill there was no quorum. House bill
No. 101, by Bennion, was taken up,
when, at 10 o'clock, a quorum was at
length secured. The bill legislated
against the adulteration of vinegar,
and it was passed by a vote of u to 0.
Senator Peery called up the subst-
tute house bill, No. 1873, by Johnson, re-
lating to the publication of notices in
newspapers. The bill failed to pass,
those voting against it being Cannon,
Chambers, Peery, w. G. Nebeker, Rob-
ison, Wright, Tanner and Whitney.
The vote was 3 for and against.
Representative Smiths pet measure,
the substitute for house joint resolu-
ton No. 5, the initiative and referen-
dunn resolution, was then called up.
Mr.. Smith had spent almost the entire
day in the senate, lobbying in the inter-
est of the Populistic measure, and he
felt confident that he had obtained the
necessary two-thirdS majority for it's
passage. On motion of Senator Ride
out, Mr.. Smith was allowed to explain
the provisions of the resolution and its
effect He made a minute talk for
the resolution, saying that it was en-
dorsed by w. j. Bryan, and that in
twelve states the Democratic party had
placed it in their platforms. The reso-
luton passed by a vote of II to 0.
House bill No. 1O4, by Shepard, max
ing the supreme court hold four terms
instead of three, was passed without
the emergency clause, the vote being
II to 0.
After these few measures had been
disposed of, the senate again twiddled
its thumbs for an hour or more, until,
word having been received from the
appropriations committee that it would
not be ready to report for half-hour,
the senators decided to saunter and
take up the bill at $3.50 this morning

ROADS AND BRIDGES.

Then the roads and bridges bill was
again taken up. Senator w. G. Nebeker
had a protest coming because Tooele
county had been allotted but $500. He
asked and was granted $500 for improv-
ing road between Stockton and Deep
Creek. Senator Tanner thought Beaver
county had not been treated fairly and
on his motion the bill was sent to the
committee on highways and bridges.
There was an immediate exodus of
members to the committee room to look
after their interests. Meanwhile Sen
ator Rideout called up house bill No.
40, relating to the branding of convict
made. goods. The clerk had to rustic
through the committee rooms to find
enough members to make a quorum and

House bill No. "a, by Shepard, revis-
ing the law in regard to negotiable in
struments, was called up by Senator
Rideout. The bill was very long one,
and on account of its length and the
press of time, it was read by title only.
Senator Rideout explained that the bill
was exactly the same as the law of
New YORK, ana the Dill passed., ny d
vote of 10 to 1. Senator Bennion voted
against it, because, as he stated, he did
not know anything about its provisions.
Word was received from the house

that body.
Representative Hansen's bill, house

IN THE NAME OF HUMANITY.

1t was a grand moment in the
history OF the world when the great
Republic of America decided to lib
crate the inhabitants of the colonies
OF Spain from the tyrannical yoke
OF Alfonso. The poor Cubans and the
Filipinos were always rebellipg
against the lawful government of
their countries and when they tried
to plunder their rulers and loot the
houses Of their conquerors they
were shot down or arrested exactly
as the Indians were in America and
the yellow journals cried, "to arms,
to arms, oh! American people, in
the name of liberty, destiny and
duty"
And "to arms" these noble patri-
OTIS went to "liberate" their fellow
men crying against the cruel yoke
of the Spaniards who objected to
being killed by them and having
properties destroyed. Out went
the brave soldiers who really believ-
ed that they were sacrificing their
health or at times their lives for the
sake of humanity and in their train
rushed forth embalmed beef and
rotten provisions.
A few men died on the fields OF
battle from the bullets of the Span
ish and more than 5000 good citizens
succumbed to disease. Spain was
easily brought to terms and the
Americans cheered in every hall or
beer garden in the Great Republic,
and the liberated" men of Cuba,
Porto Rico and the Philippines,
wept very salt tears while embrac-
ing their noble friends from Amer
lea.
In Spain the leading statesmen
met at a jolly evening party and
congratulated each other and their
country on having gotten rid of a
navy in which the City of Columbia
would be fit to be a flagship; to have
"solyed" the vexed colonial ques-
ton, to have received an enormous
sum OF money for being licked, and
specially for having induced the
clever Yankees to undertake the
task OF dealing with the earnest
patriots of the Philippines, Cuba,
etc.
At the same time the liberators
came to the conclusion that it was
not the right hour to "liberate" the
patriots for whose sake they had

THE PUNoaBowL CEMETERY.

IL the discussion in regard to a
site for graveyard can hasten the
establishment of crematory the
discussion ought to be kept up.
The doctors who give their learned
opinions in regard to the menace Of
the health of Honolulu if the pro.
posed Punchbowl site is selected are
evidently not aware Of the fact that
Honolulu is large graveyard in
itself. Until law was passed pro-
viding for burial certificates the
Hawaiians buried their dead under
their houses and in their yards, and
when the new law took effect the
agents Of the Board of Health and
the police had very difficult job in
enforcing the law and preventing
the old custom. Why doctors should
be considered experts in regard to
cemeteries we fail to see. The opin-
ions of men who for years have been
connected with the sanitary and po-
lice departments of the country
should certainly carry more weight
than those of body of men whose
connection with graveyards is con
fined to the unpleasant task Of fur
nishing material" for the graves,

The noble Filipinos and Cubans
couldn't catch the point and invited
the Americans to get out, thanking
them for having accomplished their
noble mission in the name of human
ity. To their surprise their liber-
ators took possession and-always
in the name of humanity-burnt
their towns, killed them by thou
sands-men, women and even babies
and told the world that the Gu
bans, Filipinos and the rest we're
the worst scum Of the earth's popu-
latiou, that they must be wiped out
as matter Of duty, destiny and

grounds the great republic must

igines, hang Aguinaldo and do some
practical "missionary" work in those
places which have suffered from the
