TERROR TO CRAP SHOOTERS
The Approach of Police Justice
Potts Is HeraIded BY
Watchers.

Police Justice Potts is becoming terror
to the crap Shooters" He is never
,lenient with them. In addition to his
terrible reprimands he usually slaps fine
of s. on each offender. So many of the
little gamblers have been before him
either as offenders or witnesses that they
know him by sight as they see him walk
along the street. They point him out to
Others who have thus far escaped the
police drag nett
The Justice had occasion to visit client
in Marion yesterday. In James avenue,
near Newark avenue, is smooth spot of
pavement that is a favorite gathering
place of "crap shooters from all over
that section of the western slope of the
Hill.
When the Justice dropped off car at
James street he was astonfshed to find a
flock of youngsters flying kefore him like
a covey of partridges. lie knew they
were "crap shooters" but he wondered
why he had so frightened them.
He went to see his client When he
came out he espied boy stationed half
way between the house of his client and
the spot where the boys, who had return
ed, were again engaged in the excitement
of their game. Cheese it, boysi Here
the Judge" and away he ram and joined
in the scattering crowd.
Two boys were arraigned before him
this morning charged with "crap shoot
ing They were Charles Eisen, of No. 46
Fisk avenue, and Thomas Kirby, of No. q
Bevan street. They were boys who had
been caught in a raid by the police at the
same spot where the Justics surprised
them yesterday. The Justic5 Slapped the
usual fine of S. on them.
The dice were confiscated. Clerk Frank
Higgins, innocently .chucked" them on
his desk. Seven dots showed UP. He re-
peated the act. Again seven dots came
up:
"lOOk here, these dice are loaded.
'Whatt' exclaimed the Justice in
amazement s'These little fellows using
Frank threw again, the Justice looking
on. Again seven spots turned up.
"Gee!" said the Judge, must be so.
Let me see them He threw the dice.
Seven turned up.
Loaded, sure" remarked the Justice.
"Just think of thatl Those little gam
blers resorting to such stricks"
He threw again, to thoroughly satisfy
himself This time ten spots turned up.
The Justice looked perplexed. The clerk $
jaw dropped as the bottom fell out OF
his sudden discovery.
Both threw time and again, but all the
Charms the swapping of the crooked
right forefnger, with the coaxing plea OF
Come, seven! come, eleveni' We're OF
no avail The throwing of "seven" four
vindicated of at least the charge of using
loaded dice.

CAR PECULIARLY STALLED.
Front and Rear Wheels Going in
Different Directions.

peculiar accident occurred on Pacific
avenue shortly before one o. clock. A Belt
line car loaded with passengers bound for
the ferry, became stalled near the canal
bridge At a point about one hundred feet
east Of the bridge is switch which sends
the cars over single track. 1t appears
that the 'front.' wheels of the car in going
over the switch caused it to shift, thus
sending the rear wheels off on another
track. Thus the car stood for some time
with two wheels on one track and the
rear wheels going in different direction.
The passengers were forced to walk to
Grand street ON their going down town.
Belt line cars were run up and down
Grand street for over an hour until the

| ing enemy Of the missionaries. When
Liluokalani upset them wilcox fought
with her. When he surrendered to them
/ he waged war against her.
In 1886 Wilcox was instrumental in a
rebellion against the Dole regime and
kept that government in terror for Several
weeks. Finally he was captured and
/ condemned to death and 1t was only
through the influence Of President Cleve-
! land and congress that the Dole govern
! ment committed the sentence to thirty
five years Imprisonment and $4,000 fine
He was soon pardoned.
| Don Caesar Celso Moreno is now in the
| United States. It is he who took wilcox
and the kings son to Italy. Strangely
! enough, it was not until the court de-
clared that Wilcox had married the prin-
cess under false prtenses and later com
mitted polygamy that Mr.. Moreno knew
that Wilcox had deceived the people into
believing him to be q prince.
1T has taken me twenty-one years to
learn this man." says the old prime min
ister. It. who prided myself on my
judgment, have been deceived.
I have known wilcox since he was
little boy, when grew to love him as
a child Of my own. With pride I saw
his strength and magnetism looked on
with satisfaction when I saw friends
around him
His appearance and ability surpassed
that Of any other boy knew, and when
he won Princess Gina I believed it to
be is personal attraction which had &C
compIished this"
The white-ha1red statesman bowed his
head for a moment, and then continued:
''Twenty-one years it has taken me to
learn Wilcox as he is! The court of ap-
peals Of Turin has branded him as a
polygamist, and were he now in Italy
he would be sentenced to five years in
the penitentiary.
Il am very sorry that lived long
enough to learn this
after acquired this knowledge I
learned from Wilcox that he was the ac-
complice of LiIuoBalani in trying to bring
about her restoration TO the throne
Wilcox has told me that II congress
sould give money to Lluotalani she
would use it TO buy arms to prepare a
rebellion"
With such a varied adventurous career
behind him, Robert W. Wilcox comes to
America once more in the name Of his ma
tive land.
He comes with the record Of having
been the most persistent opponent Of
American influence in the islands It
seems as II his experience with the
princess had embittered him against the
whole white race.
He was elected by native votes, against
the missionary party's'' utmost efforts,
and he owes them no thanks and no al
legiance.
What battles viii he fight in congress?
What wars will he wage IN the social
world. or viii that highly exclusive sphere
receive him at all? Of one thing be Ger
tain-he has lost none of his old agrees

ST. PAUL'S REFORMED CHURCH.
Attendance upon the services at st.
Paul's Reformed church Sunday was
good. The morning sermon was preach
ed by Rev. Loos, a senior in the Chicago
theological seminary, who visited the
pastor over Sunday. He spoke of the
proper means of approaching God-not
after the mistaken lmaginations of Is
rael by physical sacrifice, whether of
the best in quality or the greatest in
quantity, but by spiritual communion.
Owing to the sickness of the regular
superintendent, Mrs. Maxey conducted
the Junior Endeavor meeting
The Senior society was led by Miss
Lena Becknell. In order to dispense as
much as possible with socials for the
raising of funds for the church, the
Senior Endeavor society will solicit
nominal monthly contributions from its
members.
In the evening the pastor spoke from
Rom Z: "a, %. Paul speaks in a figure
of the Roman custom of combining
prisoners by chains to the dead bodies
of slaves. So he considered his higher
life bound to q body of death. He
knew, as we must know: l. That he
was bound to body of death and hence
was wretched 2. That he must be de-
| livered. 3. That he could not deliver
himself; hence he cries, who shall
and 4. That dellversnce comes through
| Jesus Christ.
