THE MCDONALD TRAGEDY.
James Hughes Released Yesterday
on $4,000 Bail.

When the session of the City Justices
Court opened yesterday morning no
charges had been filed against James
Hughes, the young man who on We'd
nesday last was taken into custody in
connection with the death of John Nc
Donald, who on Sunday last was picked
up in an unconscious condition at
Twentieth and P streets, and who sub
sequently died at the County Hospital
City Attorney De Ligne notified the
court that no complaint had yet been
sworn out in Hughes case. He said
the police officers had been assiduous in
their efforts to gather evidence in the
matter, but if a complaint were taken
out at that time it would have to be
on information and belief, and not on
direct evidence. He said there was the
gravest suspicion upon which to believe
the defendant guilty of the assault on
Mcdonald, and he requested that the
officers be given until Monday to get
together more evidence.
Attorney Frank D. Ryan, who rep
resented Hughes, called attention to
the fact that Hughes had been arrested
on Wednesday last, and that there was
no reason why an examination should
not be held, or the defendant dis
charged. The officers, he contended,
had had ample time to obtain evidence
if any existed Hughes, he said, did
not intend to run away, and would be
in this city if wanted
Mr.. Ryan demanded either that a
complaint be filed or that Hughes be
released. He referred to the Coroners
inquest, at which no evidence had been
brought out connecting Hughes or any
body else with the death of Mcdonald
Even the doctors, he said, could not as
certain the cause of death, but were in
clined to believe that it might have
been from chronic alcoholism, exposure
and bruises on the head, combined.
Justice Anderson said there was
really nothing before the court, and
that he felt disinclined to make any
order in the case until the facts had
been carefully sifted.
Mr. Ryan said the City Attorney and
the officers knew they had no right to
hold Hughes without a complaint He
wanted to know what was intended.
and proposed, if the defendant were
not allowed to give bonds, to begin
habeas corpus proceedings for his re-
lease.
City Attorney De Ligne contended
that under the law he was entitled to
a reasonable time for continuance.
Justice Anderson finally agreed to re-
lease Hughes on 81, 500 bonds, though
he said he realized that he was taking
a risk when he did So The bond was
furnished and Hughes released.

SAMOAN GROUP DIVIDED.
ENGLAND SELLS HER INTERESTS TO
GERMANY
THE UNITED STATES GETS PAGO PAGO HAIR
BOR AND SOME SMALL ISLANDS-NEW
TERRITORIAL ARRANGEMENTS
IN THE SOUTH PACIFIC

washington. Nov S-The partition OF the Sa-
moan group Of islands. announced in dis
patches from Berlin and London. marks the close
Of long standing source of international contro-
versy. and also brings about new territorial ar
rangements in the South Pacific. In the early
stage Of the negotiations 1t agreed that the
United States should have the island of Tutuila,
with its valuable harbor of Pago Pago. and the
lesser islands Of its coast. including the large
islet of Manua. The negotiations then shifted 10
London to determine whether Germany or Great
Britain should retain the two remaining Islands
OF Upou and Savai
The nature of these later negotiations has been
constantly communicated to Washington and 1t
has been known for some days that In case
Great Britain retired from Samoa Germany
would give as part compensation the large SOLO
mon islands Of San Isabel and Choiseul These are
near the British possessions in Australasia, pe-
ing east Of New-Guinea. They are twice the
size Of the Samoan group, but the country IS
mountainous and the people warlike, many pe-
Ing cannibals The area OF all the German SOLO
mon islands Is 1900 square miles. against l''~
square miles for the entire Samoan group.
At the British and German embassies here the
announcement Of the close of the negotiations
was received with much satisfaction. A high
diplomatic official said that the agreement was
due mainly to the fact that German pubic SEN
tment was averse to retiring from Samoa, ana
yielding to this sentiment. Great Britain had
solved the problem by taking an equivalent IN
territory elsewhere.
1t was stipulated that whatever plan Great
Britain and Germany might agree upon shouid
be submitted to the United States for ratiIca-
tion. This was necessary. as the change pro-
posed could be made only by formal treaty re-
quiring approval by the Senate.
1t is believed that the arrangement made VIII
he satisfactory to the State Department. Inc
United States Is not concerned with the amount
or character of the compensation tna' passes
between the other nations. Besides retaining
the coaling station Of Pago Pago. acquiring the
island OF Tutuila where the harbor Is ioca'eu'
and the three or four smaller islets in the neigh-
borhood the United states will continue 10 ENJOY
