Mr.. j. II. Jones Charged With Cruelty-
to His Child.

10 Ills a-nllu.
Mayor Hope had quite an interesting
case to dispose of in the police court
yesterday morning.
Mr.. j. II. Jones was charged by NJ p
Andrews With cruelty beating his young
son. 1t seems that the two gentlemen
are ncighbors. and for some time Mr.
Andrews claims that his family has
been Very much annoyed by the cries
OF the little fellow. who he claims was
on several occasions harshly dealt with
by his father. A large number OF Wit
nesies appeared in, the case, the ma
jority Of whom testified that Mr. Jones
had always Deem considered to be Very
fond if his children. and in fact a little
over Jealous With them. Mr.. Jones
when placed on the stand said that he
had whipped the boy. but it was only
when he needed it. The boy also testi-
lied. and said his father had been good
to him and only whipped him when he
discbeyed his orders. Mayor Hope dis
missed the charges on the ground that
they had not been proven.
My. v. S. Collier appeared as couns Il
for Mr.. Jones, While Mr.. Andrews con-
Quoted his own case.

have too much sense to do anything of
that kind. II seems to me that the So

made poor Presidents.

While we doubt very much that any
citizen of these Islands will be appoint
ed to the position Of United States Mar
shall, there is one feature of Robert
Wilcoxs reported aspirations that is
commendable. There is not position
in the gift of the national or territorial
government which the native Hawaiian
has not q right to seek. The general
feeling among native Hawaiians seems
to be one of fear of treatment as a sub
ject race. This fear is not warranted
and really does injustice to the Ameri-
can Government. While the Hawaiians
will not be strengthened by rush to
Washington for offices, they will gain
nothing by remaining in the back
ground and assuming that they have
no right to be heard.

The subscription contract further pro-

est, the people receive the future divi-
dends through the reduction in the
price of gas. Under this scheme ficti-

of interest, the consumer gains all the

lion dollars over what 1t would have

ceeded in forcing its demands The
directors have served without pay, and

Thus the householder has not been

the lax methods which too often char
acterize enterprises directly under mu-
nicipal control and subject to the re-
tarding influence of political pickering.
The stock is so placed that politicians
are not disposed to interfere with the

satisfy themselves with an s per cent

out of the field of competition.

MUNICIPAL LEAGUE SCHEME

Our esteemed morning contemporary
objects to the Young Mems Municipal
League suggested by the Bulletin. This
paper has no apologies to offer for its
suggestion that the younger men take
an active part in discussing municipal
problems. We are gratified, however,
that our contemporary has come to a
realization of the Importance of organ
ICED non-partisan effort in approaching
the problems soon to become the live
questions OF the day.
The Bulletin will cordially support
any scheme of organization that will
accomplish an awakening Of the public
mind to careful consideration Of the
future municipal charters. Let the
work begin at the earliest day possible
action and prompt action by young and
old is what the situation demands.

to understand the trend of public opin-

politics, but the chances are Bryan will
find that aside from Atkinson, he will
have few additions to his anti-imperial

new SHIPS FOR HAWAII

San Francisco, Nov. Pa new ship
ping and transportation company has
been organized to operate between San
Francisco and Honolulu. The prime
mover in the enterprise is Will NJ.
Campbell, who left this city over year
ago to engage in business in the Is
lands. The necessities of his own bust
ness led to the formation of the COM
pany. Mr.. Campbell came here few
days ago to secure a large quantity of
building materials, and was surprised
to learn that he would have great diff
Guilty in securing It's rapid Transporter
ton.
The way out of the difficulty, and the
only one that presented itself. was to
charter vessel. and finding that there
was a large freighting business await
ing any company that might be formed
to secure 1t, the plans of Mr.. Campbell
now he is at the head of an oceanic
transportation company.
Two serviceable and seaworthy
three-masters have been secured, and
IL has been decided to close contract
for the construction of new three
masted schooner, with auxiliary steam
power and accommodation for about
forty passengers. The new vessel will
be built in the best manner and with
all the latest improvements.
II is intended by Mr.. Campbell and
his associates, now that the business of
ocean freight carrying has been thrust
upon them, to extend the scope of the
company until IL shall have ships ply
ing between this port and those of
China, Japan and the Philippines.

A NEGRO PRISONER DIED.
Was shot by an officer In an Effort
10 Catch Him.

Orlando, Fla Aug. deputy Sheriff
Hand arrived this morning on the early
train, having in charge a negro prisoner.
a former resident of Sanford, and known
to the authorities as a desperate character.
Within very few minutes after leaving
the train the prisoner collapsed from the
effect of gun shot wound received at the
time Of his capture last night. He died
before leaving the depot
He had recently made two or three at
tempts to XIII his wife the last time with
a knife. # is feared that she will die from
the cuts inflicted.
1t was learned where the fellow was MD
ing and Deputy Hand organized a posse
and went out 10 Enterprise junction
Here he divided his men, sending a portion
TO an old abandoned house located back in
the big scrub. When the men reached the
house the fellow showed fight and one Of
them shot him. The deputy secured the
man and brought him here on the train to
confine him in jail. But the wound re-
ceived at the capture was fatal
