The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1899-01-13

There was almost riot at the cor
ner of Alakea and King streets late
yesterday afternoon. The principals in
the disturbance were a Belgian painter
much in liquor, a native boy, and q
crowd Of something like 200 people
The Belgian has a shop on Alakea
street. The boy, who is almost a man,
runs a bootblack stand i'm the neigh Dor
hood. About a dozen dogs are owned
by the painter, and he thinks a good
deal of them
During the afternoon the boy and
the Belgian had trouble, soon after
which the bOotblack went to the paint
er's house and abused the dogs. 1t was
only about ten minutes later when the
Belgian was seen coming up the street
followed by his entire pack Of CANNES.
He was hunting for the boy, and, as
fortune would have it, met him at the
corner Of Alakea and King streets.
The dogs were Immediately set upon
the native. Some of them went at him.
with a piece of wood the boy struck
one of the animals and broke his back.
There was Immediately a storm of in
vective from the Belgian and some
abuse from the crowd The dog owner
started in then to lick the boy.
BY this time matters were becoming
too warm altogether, SO the native took
to his heels and came down to Fort
street. a short time later the Belgian
sent his dogs home, giving up the
chase.
The big crowd stood around for
some time. Many abused the native
for breaking the dogs back, but the
majority of the party seems to feel
that the provocation was sufficient.

news OF a gold strike on Snake River near
Cape Nome, on American soil and close to
the sea. which indicates an opening in the
far north of a district even richer than
the Klondike. letter from St. Michaels

From its position the new district will
be accessible to every person having S2J,

THE GATHMANN SHELL TEST.
Promoters of the Invention Highly
EInted Over It,


New York, May 11.-Workmen under the
direction Of Major Heath and Lieutenant
Montgomery, continued digging at the
Government gun proving grounds at Sandy
Hook yesterday in the endeavor to find the
fifteen-inch Gathmann shell. or the re-
mains OF it. which was loaded into IN old
Rodman cast gun Tuesday and subjected
to the remarkable test which purposely
burst the gun into myriad of fragments
AS the gun was buried twenty feet deep in
the sand and SO placed that IL the shell
ever got out of the gun 1t would be driven
horizontally into the adjoining sands the
work was of necessity slow. 1t is esti-
mated that at least fifty tons OF sand will
have to be moved before the work is COM
plete.
Inventor Gathmann and George W. Nc
Mullen. the president OF the company
which is promoting the invention, were at
the ground during the day and came up
with Major Heath on the Government boat
Ordnance at the end OF the days work
They declared themselves still confident OF
the entire success of the test and as
grounds for this confidence mentioned that
during the day about ten pounds of un-
exploded and unburned gun-cotton had
been recovered from the excavation. Work

the gun and she'll and the charge of the

sponded and the formal ceremonies were
over. Today there was a parade in which

SALARY ON A RECESS PLUM.
The appointment of Judge Ewnrt
Declared Legal.

The legality of the Presidents power to
reappoint Federal official after his name
has been sent to the Senate and that tody
fails of action was affirmed yesterday by
a decision OF Comptroller Tracewell in so
far as the payment OF salary is involved.
The case upon which this question was
raised IS that of Hamilton G. Ewart.
whose nomination to be judge for the
Western district of North Carolina was
sent TO the Senate in 1898 Through the
opposition of Marion Butler. the Populisi
Senator from that State, no action on the
nomination had been taken by the Senate
when adjournment was had in July. He
was given a recess appointment at once
and entered upon his duties as judge.
Last December when Congress met again.
the nomination was a second time sent
to the Senate. but Senator Butler again
prevented action. and when the Fifty-tifth
Congress expired last March the advice
and consent of the Senate was still lack
ing Judge Ewart now holds office under
a second recess commission issued April
l3.
\ section of the revised statutes pro-
vides that no money shall be paid from the
Treasury as salary to any person appoint
ed during the recess of the Senate to fill
a vacancy in any existing Office. if the va
cancy existed while the Senate was in ses-
sion and was by law required to be filed
by and with the advice and consent OF
the Senate. until such appointee has been
confirmed by the Senate. The question
was also raised as to the authority of the
President to fill a judicial Office OF this
character by a temporary appointment,
which, by necessity. must expire at the
end of the next session of the Senate and
not by appointment, to hold office during
good behavior. as provided by the Con-
stitution. In accordance with previous de.
cisions rendered on these points the Comp
trcller holds that as the recess commits
sions granted by the President expired
with the session Of Congress the office be-
came vacant again. The vacancy. occur
ing during the recess. the appointment was
not, therefore, affected by the law above
quoted. and he holds that Judge Ewart il

4 Satisfactory Conference.

The Democratic conference at Richmond
yesterday was successful. not cnly in point
of attendance. but in the thoroushness vish
which its work was done. Resolutions were
adopted favoring an amendment to the Fed

tion of United States Senators by direct
vote Of the people. in the same way that
governors and members OF the House of
Representatives are chosen, and inviting
the cooperation of the people Of the coun-
Try in the furtheraEce Of such plan. Pend
ing the adoption of the amendment. the
resolutions favcr the nomination of party
candidates for the Senate by State conveu-
tions and ask for legislation legaliziAg
the primaries.
The Times is earnestly in favor of the
proposed departure, and would be glad 10
see it carried into effect as soon as possi-
BILE. 1t is notorious that the existing sys-
TEN has not worked satisfactorily. and that
under it many evils. such as the block
aiding of legislation for whole sessions,
have developed. AS pointed out at the
conference, with popular elections We
should have Senators who really reflected
the public sentiment Of their respective
States. instead of the Platts. Quays. and
Hannas Of the present day.

Prof A. s. Mitchell analytical expert of
the Dairy and Food Commission o. Wis
consin, gave the committee some important
information.
THE use of antiseptics as preservatives."
said Prof Mitchell, has become alarming
ly great. They are used as coloring and
to stop the development OF germs in dairy
products: also in chopped meats, bulk
oysters. fish. hams, and possibly corned
beef. Any an:iseptic is de,eterious because
it stops the digestive process. Freekene
which is claimed to take the place OF ice. is
solution OF formaldehyde and is a dele
tsrious preservative."
Preservaline was al antiseptic for pre-
serving meat. and Prof. Mitchell said it
contained sulphite of sodium and should
have no part in foods.
RosaliDe. he said, was used in coloring
sausage. and was a mixture of nitre. salt,
and borax.
Freezene was used, he said. for chipped
beef and contained sulphite Of sodium and
coioring matter.
He also showed another preseryatiye
compound. which contained salicylic acid
This was used in preserving fruits.

THURSDAY, MAY II, 1899.
The Parting of the Ways

Governor Roosevelt's intention TO sign
the Ford bill taxing public franchises Is
construed as equivalent to permanent
rupture in his relations with MIR. Platt
The Senator has been bitterly opposed to
executive approval of the measure. and all
the power of mis- machine has been brought
to bear on the Governor to alter his pur-
pose. but to no avail. The Governor is a
hard man TO drive with a whip or to try
10 beat into insensibiiity with club.
1t has been apparent ever since Mr..
Roosevelt's nomination that it was only a
question of time when he and Mr.. Platt
would have their differences. The sur
prise is not that they have come, but that
they did not appear on the surface at an
earlier date. The men are so radically
different in their characteristics that TO
expect them to dwell together in brotherly
love and harmony was akin to the idea
that oil and water would naturally blend.
And now they are saying that Mr..
Roosevelt is ambitious. Well, Caesar had
the same fault.

WHY HETTY is WEALTHY.
Lawyer Swears That Mrs. Green
Held Him Up.

Held Him Up.
New York, HAY 11.-Mrs Hetty Green.
the richest woman in the world, appeared
in the supreme court yesterday as defend
ant in a suit to recover $1,000 as a fee
torney Smith E. Lane In his testimony
Lawyer Lane declared Mrs Green held him
up against wall, shook her finger in his
face, and by intimidation and threats fore
ed him to sign paper agreeing to do the
work for certain price.
In 1895 Mrs. Green had trouble over her
taxes. She consulted Mr.. Lane and he
acted for her in certain legal proceedings.
When these proceedings were over Nir.
Lane handed Mrs. Green bill for an even
$500.
She said it was excessive.
1t was during the cross-examination of
Lawyer Lane that the hold-up episode was
brought out.
rs it not fact" asked Mr.. Bowers. at
torney for Mrs. Green. of Mr.. Lane, that
you signed a certain paper agreeing to do
This work for Mrs. Green at a certain fig
ure. to be fixed by her husband, herself,
and yOu?"
Yes, that's So admitted Lawyer Lane,
but did that under duress. Mrs. Green
held me up. 1t was in her private room
in the Chemical National Bank Building.
She forced me up against the wall and
shook her finger in my face. She threat
| ened all sorts of things unless signed the
paper"
During this testimony Mrs. Green first
smiled. then grinned, and finally gave way
to unrestrained mirth that shook her port
ly figure.
And do you mean to say that you were
in physical fear Of Mrs. Green?"
Yes"
Did you sign the paper?''
1T was question of life or death. l
had to sign it. There was no escape. Mrs.
Green held ME by the coat until 1 signed
it."
"And SO Mrs. Green held you up and
forced you to sign that paper?''
''She did"
Were you ever held up before?"
Never by woman
by a man.
Il don't remember
The sum which Mrs. Green would have
had TO pay as assessment was about S29.-
600. BY proving her to be a resident of
Vermont and not of this State Mr.. Lane
said he got the tax department to cancel
the assessment altogether so that Mrs.
Green was not required to pay cent.
