FAMILY FEAR THE WORST
Nothing Has Yet Been Heard
of Justice of the Peace
Wagner.

The continued absence of Justice OF
the Peace Phillip Wagner from his home
in Leonard street, has led his family tc
fear the worst. Knowing that he had
considerable money with him when he
started out on a collecting tour for
Peters Brewery on Tuesday last and that
in the thirty-three years of his married
life he had never before stayed away from
home overnight they fear he has met
with foul play.
He was to stop at Zibetti's saloon in
Central avenue to meet an italian whom
he was to assist in negotiations for a sa-
loon, but he never reached Zibetti's, and
the Italian left there after waiting for
hours for the Justices appearance.
The justice had quite a large family and
the members are distracted with grief.
They say they can assign no possible rea-
son for his staying away without notify
ing them, as he was an affectionate hus-
band and father. He left home on Tues
day in his usual manner.
The Justice Is a man six feet tall,
weighs between $50 ana 200 pounds and has
iron gray hair ana moustaehe He wore
when he. left home d black coat and vest
MIXED gray trousers with flne white stripe
{ ana blaek derby hat.

THEY CAN'T VOTE.
Would Be Citizens Have Not
Been Examined By
Judge Blair.
1900 WITH NO SHOW
Tomorrow Is the Last Day
They Can Be Tested-Ap-
plicants Are Bitter.
200 WITH NO SHOW

| The rush at the naturalization bureau
at the Court House this morning exceeded
| that of any day in the past two weeks.
From the time the Court House bell rang
until the noon recess Sergeant-at-A Arms
Edward T. Mitchell was busy examining
applicants for citizenship. About fifty
! were disposed of, either being granted
| final papers or told to come again when
they could answer the question asked to
| test their eligibility.
| Although about 1900 applications still
remain on file in the County Clerks office,
tomorrow will be the last day before cleo
ton on which examinations will be held.
The session of the naturalization bureau
will end at noon, so comparatively few of
| those remaining will have chance to
prove their right to citizenship and re-
ceive the papers emitting them to vote at
the coming election.
This will mean practically that over one
| thousand men who filed their applica-
tions in time, will be disfranchised
l'through lne dilatory and obstructive tac-
| tics resorted to by the Republican officers
| in charge of the bureau.
| The feeling against the party these men
represent is daily becoming stronger
among foreign born citizens of all
nationalities. They realize that they
| have been Disseminated against and
| they will resent it at the polls. This can
readily be learned by conversing with any
of the willing to be citizens who have
been daily standing for hours in the
stuffy little corridor outside the Common
Pleas Court room waiting for chance to
| be examined.
Some of them have visited the Court
House half dozen times in the last three
months in the hope of being given a
chance to prove their eligibility to citizen
| ship. They, have come on days appointed
| by the Court only to learn, that other
| business would prevent the consideration
of any naturalization matters.
| And so it has gone on from day to day,
| until many have become dsgusted or dis
couraged and abandoned all idea of pass
| ing the examination in time to vote at the
| coming election.

BODY FOUND.
Trunk of a Woman Had
Been In the Bay !.
a Year.

Joseph Farrell, of No. 90 Kearny ave-
nue., while walking along the shore of the
New York Bay at Caven Point yesterday
afternoon. discovered what subsequently,
proved to be part of the skeleton of a
woman. The ghastly object was in a bad
ly decomDosed state. The head was
missing, having been severed from the
body. The ribs and part of the spine We're
intact, but the flesh had long since de-
cayed. The upper portion of the left leg
was attached to the trunk. but the lower
part of the leg had been disjointed at the
knee. The right leg was missing.
Morgue Keeper Griffin stated that the
body must have been in the water almost
a year. Several months ago the head
and leg of woman were found in the
East River and Mr.. Griffin is of the
opinion that the body found yesterday
was the missing part
The police do not believe that the
woman was the victim of murder, but
rather incline to the theory that the
body was disposed of in that way by a
doctor or medical student. The remains
are now at the morgue.

PREFERRED DEATH.
Alice Woods Couldn't Facs
Life Without Her Lover.

Miss Alice NJ. Wods, the pretty stem
ographer, twenty years old. who tried to
XIII herself by swallowing opium while
her sweetheart, DR.. Harry A. Hill, was
calling on her, yesterday dictated the fol-
lowing statement to a reporter:-
Il have lived here, at No. 81 Nostrand
avenue, Brooklyn. for two years. Mrs.
Faust, with whom 1 live, is friend of
mine.
Mrs. Faust knew all about my first
love affair as well as my second. When
John Williams, or Ackerson, made love
TO me and married me, expected TO be
very happy. Naturally I am OF home
loving disposition. did not care SO much
for Ackerson, but wished to escape the
drudgery of work; not that 1 am lady.
but it seems to me common for girl to
work for strangers, as if she cheapened
herself-her womanhood. But found !
had much better have remained at work
Williams treated me brutally, and then I
found he was married to another-that he
had committed bigamy by marrying me.
I made him leave the house instantly.
but my suit against him failed, although
the lawyers say 1 am perfectly free.
After Williams. or Ackerson. left, 7
fell desperately in love with DR.. Hill.
Harry was just my ideal of what man
should be- He was manly, yet gentle; a
student, yet an athlete. Our dispositions
were just suited for each other. In fact
it was a case of love at first sight. We
became engaged two weeks after we
met Before we We're to be married 1
determind that I would tell him all
about my experience with Williams or
Ackerson.
when he and his mother decided ti1at
must not marry him, then there was
nothing further TO live for, and I de-
termined to die I would rather be dead
than live without Harry"

SOME Of THE NEW RULES
A CUSTOMS INSPECTOR RECEIVES
A SHOCK.
Asked to Pay Fare in the Pilot Boat
New Suits With Brass Buttons for
the Officers.

At about the time when the S. S.
Nippon Maru was steaming past the
James Makee off Barber's point this
morning, customs inspector Miller hur-
ried to the pilot house to catch the pilot
boat and board the approaching for
eign vessel. When he got to the pilot
house he was informed that the fare
was dollar, if he wanted to take pass
age to the steamer. The pilot boat is a
territorial affair now and Miller is a
federal officer and no longer entitled
to go free. AS there is no provision
for paying fares in cases of this Kind
Miller concluded not to go. The GUS
tom house officers are anXiously wait
ing for the expected steam or gasoline
launch for boarding vessels. At pres
ent they have to get along with very
small row boat, which was made to
carry one man.
The Hongkong Maru last night and
Nippon Maru this morning encountered
very different treatment from what
they have experienced at Honolulu in
the past. The custom house has been
easy going in the past but it is no long
er so. Under the new rules no one can
go on board or leave the steamers till
the customs men have made their in
Vestigations. One rule that will cause
the companies some expense in delay is
that under which they are not allowed
to discharge anything till they have
entered at the custom house. Steam
ers arriving after five o'clock will no
longer be able to work all night on their
cargoes, as they have in the past, un-
less the captain can induce Deputy
Drummond of the custom house to
come down and take the entry. When
the Hongkong Maru docked last night
Captain Filmer made all possible haste
to the custom house to enter.
The custom house men are going to
startle the water front soon with some
new uniforms. Already few new hats
have shown up, but they are only be-
ginning. The new suits are to have a
brilliant array of shining brass buttons,
made by Uncle Sam for the purpose.
They will be all alike, of dark blue, with
double breasted coats. 1t is one of the
rules of the service that the men must
keep their suits neat and clean, ana
they will have to go into their pockets
at intervals to pay for new suits.

WHO MAY VOTE.

In response to a number of inquiries
as to citizenship in this Territory
Attorney General Dole has rendered an
opinion on the subject. After quoting
the portions of the territorial act relat-
ing to the subject, and the United
States statutes relating to naturaliza-
ton, he concludes:
Briefly stated, any person who was a
citizen of the Republic of Hawaii be-
fore the territorial act went into force,
or who was an American citizen resid-
ing here, having the other qualifications
essential to voting, is entitled to be reg
iStered as a voter.
Persons who have resided here more
than five years, who were not citizens
of the Republic of Hawaii. and who are
not citizens of the United States being
free white persons, or persons of Afri-
can nativity or descent are entitled
to take the final oath before the District
court of the United States in Honolulu,
or before the Supreme court of the Ter
ritory, and probably before any Circuit
court of the Territory.
'"Those who have not resided here for
five years are required to take out their
first papers, as in other parts of the
United States.
1.-THE question has been asked wheth-
er lepers on Molokai, having the req
uisite qualifications for suffrage, are
entitled to register as voters. l see no
reason why they are not on the same
footing in this respect as are other citi-
zens."

RULES FOR THE STEAMERS WITH
FOREIGN FLAGS.
Anyone Who Tries to Get to the Coast
On Them viii be Brought Back as
Stowaway.

Any one who tries to get to San Fran
cisco on one of the foreign steamers
will be treated as a stowaway, and be
brought back to Honolulu on the yes
sells next trip. This policy is the steam
ship company's only protection against
being forced to. o.commit violations of the
United States shipping laws. Many
Honoluluans have stated since the new
system began that if they wanted to go
to the Coast in a hurry when there
was a Japanese or British steamer IN
port they would simply go aboard and
take the trip, keeping out of sight till
the Honolulu pilot left, and then offer
ing to pay for a ticket
The law on the subject is contained in
article 277 of the United States naviga-
tion laws, which says that mo foreign
vessel shall transport passengers be-
tween ports or places in the United
States either directly or by way of a
foreign port, under a penalty of 5000
fine for each passenger so transported
or landed" Under this section the man
who tried to force himself as a passen-
ger on a foreign steamer would have
to be treated as a stowaWay. He would
be put below and would be kept on
board in Frisco and when the steamer
got back to Honolulu he would be put
ashore again. The voyage would be
rather an unpleasant one, taken this
way.
Under the present rulings the Japan
ese and British vessels are allowed 10
land stop-over passengers. This will
enable them to retain a share of the
tourist business. Passengers on the
steamers may stop in Honolulu and
wait for a subsequent steamer to con
tinue their journey, but they are not
supposed to stay here permanently. The
foreign steamers are also carrying mail
which is a very important accommoda-
tion to the people of the Islands.
The business between here and the
Orient, if it keeps up, is enough to make
the call at Honolulu worth while. The
Hongkong Maru, leaving here this NOR
ming for China and Japan, took over
250 Chinese and Japanese passengers
from Honolulu. This is a very good
paving part of the business.

Would Be A WHARF RAT
SMALL YOUNGSTER IN POLICE
COURT DOCKET
Problem in Relationships for the Judge
The Liquor Selling Case of Blu
chanan.

Kaonohi, IL years old, was one of the
prisoners in the dock this morning in
Judge WilcoNs court charged with dis
obedience to his parents or guardian.
When his case was called an old Ha-
waiian lady came forward as the prose-
cutting witness. The judge wanted to
know her relationship to the boy, and
was told that she was a second cousin
to his grandmother. A further state
ment giving the details and showing
how the relationship was calculated
was interrupted by the judge, who said
it made him dizzy.
The guardian told his honor that the
youngster had stayed away from school
and home for two weeks, AMI would
not return Little Kaonohi was arrest
ed on the water front, where he was
giving free rein to an ambition to grow
into a wharf rat. For two weeks he
had slept out somewhere or other and
had managed to get food in some un-
known way After hearing the evidence
the judge gave the youngster a lecture
that ought to have penetrated very
deep, whether it did or not, and let him
go. The small boy left the court room
in company with the second cousin of
his grandmother, looking as if he had
been very deeply impressed with the
judges remarks about the fate of small
boys who run away from home.
The case of Buchanan, charged with
selling liquor in violation of the laws
was set for trial this afternoon. The
police have quite a long list Of witnesses
who are said to have bought liquor
from the defendant
