The Acqufttai OF Representative Davis.
The jury in the Kent county Gem
eral Sessions Court, on Tuesday af-
ternoon returned a verdict of not
guilty in the case of Representative
Mark L. Davis, accused of having
offered to Representative Francis Lat
tomus bribe Of money if he would
vote for j. Edward Addicks for United
States Senator.
This verdict, under the circumstances
attending the case, can be accepted as
vindication of Representative Davis
of the charge preferred against him.
The trial was a fair one in every re-
spect, and the officers of the State per
formed their duty with ability and
earnestness. Unfortunately, it was not
possible for the State TO present any
testimony Of circumstantial nature to
corroborate its only witness, nor could
the defence do more than interpose the
emphatic denial of the defendant to
the accusation, and tender proof of pre-
vious good character, u matter, how
ever, which had not been brought into
question. And so tho case went before
the jury with the accusation of Repre-
sentative Lattomus on the one hand
and the fiat denial of Representative
Davis on the other--a positive conflict
Of testimony for the trial Jury to un
rayel. Under such circumstances, no
conviction was looked for, and disa-
greement seemed reasonable. But the
jury, divided politically into nine
Democrats and three Unicn Republic
cans, gave the benefit of the doubt to
Representative Davis, and agreed upon
verdict Of acquittal.
However, this verdict can in no sense
be accepted as a miscarriage Of Justice,
business in Delaware. The State has
given fair notice that it will sternly
prosecute all cases brought to its atten-
tion by competent testimony, but the
State can do no more than lay its testi-
mony before trial jury with all pos
sible vigor, leaving the jury to deal
with the issue as it may. Here is
warning to brihers, therefore, that II
detected in their miserable work they
will at least have to face u trial jury
and take the chances of tho verdict.
And the case just closed does not war
rant the assumption that all subsequent
ones will result in the same manner,
for in others the State may be able to
present more convincing testimony and
obtain verdict of conviction.
In fact, there is ample encourage
ment for the friends Of reform in Della
ware, even in the case just closed. No
one wants an innocent man convicted.
All that is desired is that the ma
chinery of justice will ever be ready to
proceed vigorously against all to whom
the finger of Justice may point with a
directness sufficient to warrant indict-
mont and trial. And that it ever will
be there can be no doubt.

SALVATION ARMY.
Notes of Work and Changes for
Two Weeks

The Salvation Amy claims to have
done an unusual amount OF work
during the past two weeks. Their hall
has been we'll filled nightly, no fewer
than four ithousand persons having at
tended the endeavor meetings during
the time. Sixty-four, mostly soldiers
OF passing regiments, have knelt at the
altar and professed new lives. One of
these is a sergeant, who was a pastor
of a church two years ago, but who
went, at the call of patriotism, to the
Spanish American war, where he fell
into temptation and lost his religious
experience. He has again made a
good START and the Salvation Army
among his comrades.
Last night quite a crowd OF U. S.
soldiers marched with the Army, and
their speaking at the hall was full of
interest. The singing and speaking of
the Native Hawaiian SalvatlOnS' was
much enjoyed by the Americans.
Capt. Jas. Bamberry has just arrived
from California and will be given
charge of the work on Maui, with
headquarters at Waikiki; he is a native
of Galway, Ireland, and is a very sue
cessful mission worker.
Staff Capt Merriweather who has
the oversight of the Army's work on
the Islands, has had a severe siege of
malarial fever, but is now on the way
to recovery.
Meetings are held on board the diff
ferent troopships during the daytime;
literature of various kinds being dis
tributed.

property now in its possession or here
after to be acquired for $3.50, 900 six per
cent bonds. These are payable ten
years from the date of the trust deed,
and are due ten years from that time.
The document states that half the
grading is finished and much of the
material for constructing the road is
already in Hilo, while the machinery
for the shops is expected there soon.
The railroad has valuable longtime
contracts for hauling for the planta-
tions along the line of the road, which
will insure to the company steady
and large income. Olaa plantation
acting in conjunction with the railroad
is in need of the road to carry the
enormous amount of material required
for erecting the buildings and placing
the machinery. The road will probably
be completed through Olaa in about six
months.
