The garbage crematory contract has
been awarded to Cotton Brothers, at

building in four months. This price is
just under the appropriation of $40, 600.
The crematory is expected to burn one

Kawaiahao and South streets, whence
the smoke will be blown out to sea. A
New York party put in a bid, Offering
to put up the crematory in four and a
half months after they received notice.
1t is good thing that Cotton Brothers
secured this contract, for their reputa-

A NATIVE "COP" 0FF|C|OUS
Captain Espinda and Officer Peter
EIemakuIe Dismissed by
Sheriff Andrews.

But for the Intervention of All Hip,
Church and Front streets, there might
have been a riot in Hilo last Sunday
afternoon says the Herald. The trouble
began on Saturday night when Officer
Peter Elemakule attempted to arrest
one of the clerks in All Hollis store for
riding a bicycle without light
According to the statement of All
Holt, who was present, the young
man was riding up and down IN front
of the store shortly after o'clock
Peter Elemakule rushed up and pulled
him off the wheel and was going to ar
rest him, but when the young man
stated that he was not doing anything
let him off and took the wheel to the
station house. Some one there twitted
him about taking the wheel and not
the man so he returned and found the
clerk sitting on a box in front of the
store and Immediately grabbed him by
the neck. Tong On, a man connected
with the store, demonstrated with the
officer who Immediately directed his
effort to him, striking a blow in the
face. There was Scufiie and crowd
gathered. Clerk Lyman of the sheriff 5
office was in the vicinity and seeing the
crowd rushed into it and took hold of
Tong On and while holding him struck
him three times in the face. Peter
Elemakule took hold of the offending
clerk who had been guilty of riding a
wheel without a light and a hack was
called. Tong On refused to get in and
Clerk Lyman forced him. The arrest
ed men were shortly afterwards releas-
ed on bail. This affair angered the
Chinese somewhat and they became
thoroughly aroused by the occurrences
of the next day. For on Sunday after
noon, William Keolanui, night clerk al
the station house, accompanied by Off
Ger Peter Elemakule, entered the prem.

severe, that there was only one cut,
and that the beating did not diminish
the little girls affection for Davis. New
ertheless, on the showing made the
judge fined Davis 500. The Advertiser
sees no reason to think that the court
was fooled in the matter, and feels safe
in accepting evidence that was satisfac-
tory to him.
Lawyer Andrews is wrong in saying
that the Advertiser has tried to Gin
fluence and excite public opinion
against a man around whom the law
throws every presumption of innocence
unless convicted by the verdict Of a
jury The Advertiser Is not in that line
Of business, and it did not take up the
case of Davis until after the presump-
ton Of innocence had been looked into
and passed upon by a competent legal
tribunal.-Ed. Advertiser.1

1T is Mr.. Andrews duty, of course, to
defend his client and do what he can to
create public opinion in his favor. The
Advertisers duty is to tell the news of
the day without relation to it's effect
upon persons or upon cases in court
which the bench has passed upon. In
no respect had this paper any other in
terest at stake in the Davis affair, and
in reviewing the case it is unable to see
that it did Mr.. Andrews client injus-
tice, much less drew on its magma
ton"
The point at issue is whether or not
the defendant, Davis, beat the little
girl Alice with a strap while she was
naked, and did so in the presence of
other persons, one of them a negro. In
an interview yesterday Mr. Andrews
admitted thatssuch was the fact, but
claimed that the Commissions were not

THE DAVIS CASE
Lawyer Andrews Gives
His Side.
A Resume From Both Standpoints Of
the Police Court les
timony.

The following letter from the attor-
ney of Robert w. Davis, the hackman
who was fined 500 by Judge Wilcox is
printed for the sake of fair play, but not
because the Advertiser has any inten-
ton to apologize for or recall it's ac-
count of the proceedings which led to
Judge Wiloox's ection.
Honolulu, H. l., May 4th, 1900.
Editor Advertiser:-1 regretted to see
in your Saturdays issue a most unwar-
ranted and garbled report Of a trial in
the Police Court, in which Robert w.
Davis was charged with injuring his
foster child by chastising her with a
strap.
AS your reporter evidently drew en-
tirely upon his imagination for the ar
ticle, and ignored the testimony given
in the case, it is unnecessary for me to
specifically dwell upon the various mis-
statements contained therein. The only
accurate portion of the article was the
wholly uncalled for attack by the Mar
shall upon the defendant and his charac-
ter, which attack the Marshal admitted
was inspired by personal feelings.
The statement of the alleged NAL
treated child, that she had always
been well cared for and we'll brought
up by Davis, who had, in every
respect, been kind and humane father
to her. and that she had made no COM
plant Of his treatment of her, is entire
ly omitted from the article.
Mr.. Davis is about to be tried by a
jury Of his peers, and it is source of
deep regret to me that self-respecting
newspaper should attempt to influence
and excite public opinion against man
around whom the law throws every pre-
sumption of innocence unless convicted
by the verdict of jury.
Mr.. Davis reputation being as dear to
him, Mr. Editor, as yours can be to you,
| write this in common fairness, and
with the view of refuting the disgrace
full charges which your article made
against him. Yours truly
LORRIN ANDREWS.

Espinda of olaa. Other dismissals may
follow.
Sheriff Andrews says that policemen
have general orders not to go on raids
for opium or gamblers on their own
hook, that every raid of this sort must
be made in charge of one of the
deputy sheriffs, captains or Iieutenants
of police, who will be held responsible
for any illegality or abuse of author
ity. And while he cannot give orders
that no arrests are to be made without
warrants, when raids are made it is
almost always possible and therefore
proper to secure the proper papers be-
fore making a raid.
The trouble between the police and
Chinese on Saturday and Sunday is
just the outcome of what might be ex-
pected from people who have for one
reason or another put up with assaults
and all kinds of injustice at the hands
Of the police for many years past 1t
would seem to a man on the outside
that some of the officers made raids
with or without warrants only when
there was something at stake for
| themselves. A find of opium or a raid
on gamblers generally ends in benefit
ing the policemen engaged in it. How
many IF these so-called raids are never
reported to the office it would be diff
cult to say but it is reasonable to sup
pose that not a few are never heard of
Had there been no protest against the
Sunday affair Sheriff Andrews would
| have remained in ignorance of the
methods in use by the policemen but,
having heard it, he acted promptly in
, issuing orders which preclude the pos
sibility of repetition of what has
| been going on.

1t appears that the King had just
attended the distribution Of prizes
At the Gymnasium. and had entered
his carriage with his aids-de-camp,
when three pistol bullets entered
his body. He expired almost A.
once. It speaks we'll for the self
control and discipline Of hrs escort
