FOUR ASSAULT
ONE POLICEMAN
Soldiers Disgrace Their Uni
forms by Doing a Cow
ardly Deed.


A brutal and cowardly scene was en-
acted on the corner of Fort and King
streets on Saturday night, just after
the people from the Orpheum had come
out of the theater and were on their
way home.
Several soldiers who had been rails
ing a row in one of the saloons and
who had been elected from the place.
were being watched by Policeman
Akau. They had threatened to create
further trouble, and the officer was
keeping an eye on them On the corner
of Fort and King streets the uniformed
men collected and made themselves OBJ
jectionable by the use of foul language.
Their language was directed. partially,
to some young ladies, who were also on
the corner with their escorts.
Akau approached to demonstrate,
lwhereupon the men directed their
shameful epithets to the officer.
Realizing that the men were intent
upon getting themselves into trouble,
the officer made move to place one
of them under arrest.
Immediately the four soldiers jumped
on the officer. They beat him unmerci-
fully, and took his club from him and
flung it away.
They threw him to the pavement,
kicked him while he was held down,
beat him over the head and face and
cursed him, using all the foul language
at their command.
A citizen Immediately telephoned to
the police station, and a mounted pa
trolman appeared on the scene in short
order but not until Policeman Akau had
received severe tratment. The citizen,
meanwhile, had recovered the officers
club for him, and had attempted to call
off the cowardly brutes who were beat
ing him: four men to one.
Upon the arrival of the mounted pa
trolman the towards ran. After the
citizen had restored the officer his club
the soldiers cried: Look out, he's got
his club; look out you don't get hit
Two of the soldiers tried to sneak
away on a car. but were pulled off the
vehicle by Akau after the mounted man
arrived Another soldier on the car
shouted, Take your hands off those
men or I'll shoot you" at the same
time making a movement for his gun.

his fist before the armed mans face.

I'll knock you over
Akau is one of the most popular men
on the force, and is noted for his mild
ness of manner. He has never been
guilty of any undue force in the MAX
| ing of arrests
1t was the opinion of people gathered
on the corner of Fort and King streets,
where the assault took place, that If
Camp Mckinley is anxious for the good
opinion of the people of Honolulu it
should make examples of the four
thugs.
| Shortly after the assault four soldiers
were arrested and put in jail. They adj
mitted that they had been in a '.scrap."

DOPE SMUGGLERS
ARE PANlCkY
Want to Ride Reporter on a
Rail for Writing
Facts.

When Deputy Sheriff Chillingworth
saw an item in an evening paper on
Saturday, calling the Advertisers story
of wholesale opium smuggling fake, .
he was greatly amused.
IF these people who cry fake were
only to open their eyes, said he, they
would see many things which would
surprise them.

coming from and how it gets into the
country If / told some of the things

have already stated in regard to the
smuggling business, 1 am prepared to

1t might be of interest to say that the
letter published in the Advertiser on
Saturday and signed by ''Naturalized
Citizens of Hawaiian Chinese Parent
age" stated the name of one party,
high in office, who had Struggled lot
of the opium. The name was with
held in the printed article, however
A number OF men on the waterfront
when they heard that someone had
given clue to the press concern
ing the smuggling combine, got togeth-
er on Fort street and endeavored to
work each other up to a point of suf-
Ificient courage to do bodily harm to the
reporter who handled the story. They
decided to find out the reporters name
and then to treat him to a dose of tar
and feathers or some similar medicine.
They have since been advised to be
quiet.
Incidentally an innocent man, who
had heard nothing of the smuggling
until he had read of it in the Adver-
tiser, was accused by certain interested
parties on the waterfront OF giving the
news to the reporter. The man in ques-
ton was naturally indignant, but did
not take the trouble to prove himself
innocent of the charge.
A small panic was under way among
a certain clique on Saturday.

on the Nicaragua CannI.

on the tunHi.
Senor Corea. the Njcaraguan Minister,
had conference with Dr. Hill, the Acting
Secretary of State, yesterday, and talked
about the Isthmian Canal question. Senor
Corea has just returned from Nicaragua
and has secured detailed information
from his Government in regard to the
situation brought about by the failure of
the Hay-Pauncefote Treaty.
Il come back with fun powers, even to
the extent of signing treaty with the
United States said Senior Corea- My
Government is willing to give this country
the most liberal terms possible to assist
in the construction of a canal through our
territory. OF course, it is impossible for
us to concede to the United States SOW
ereignty over the lands upon which TO
build a waterway. but we are ready to
give the United States the fullest control
short of that.
President Zelaya and the other officers
of my Government are perfectly satisfied
with the terms o. the protocol signed by
myself and the representatives of Costa
Rica with Secretary Hay last year. We
hold that that protocol is still binding.
The fact that it is based on the Hay
Pauncefote Treaty. which has lapsed,
does not in our opinion invalidate the
binding nature of the document.
This being the case. we hold that there
is no chance for TIE Colombian Govern
ment to come in and that the Panama
Canal is barred from consideration. The
signing of the protocol by the United
States, in our opinion, commits the United
States Government TO tE:.- Nicaraguan
route. Even if this We're not so, we have
every confidence that the United States,

MRS. LYMAN ]. GAGE DEAD.
The Wife of the Secretary of the
Treasury PASSES Away.

Mrs. Lyman J. Gage, wife of the Secre-
tary of the Treasury, died last night at
$3.50 o'clock at her late residence in this
city, 1907 Massachusetts Avenue north
west. At her bedside were the Secretary
their daughter, Mrs E. ]. Pierce: the at
tending physician, DR.. W. w. Johnson,
and a trained nurse
Mrs. Gage was conscious up to within Il
few minutes of her death, the immediate
cause of which was endocarditis. Ar
rangements for the~funeral have not yet
been perfected. There will be a service at
the house at 10:30 tomorrow morning and
it is very probable that DR.. Hills, pastor
of Plymouth Church. Brooklyn, n. Y, an
old friend of the family, will otiiciate.
The body will be taken to Chicago over
the Pennsylvania Railroad after the SER
vices. The remains will be accompanied
by Secretary Gage and Mrs. Pierce. Flu
neral services will be held in Chicago on
Monday and the interment viii be made
in Rosehil Cemetery.
Mrs Gage was taken with the grip as a
result of a cold contracted on Inaugural
tion Day She took to her bed on March
H. and was never able to leave it. For
the past two weeks the Secretary has
realized there was no hope, ard was pre-
pared for the worst. About O'Clock last
evening . change was noted, and from
that hour to the hour of her death Mrs.
Gage suffered severe pains in the region
of her heart.
President Mckinley was notified of Mrs.
Cages death by wire from the White
House.
All during his wife's illness Secretary
Gage continued to attend his official
duties, and was at the department yes
terday until o'clock. EIe did this in
order to please Mrs. Gage.
Mrs. Gage, prior to her marriage, was
a Miss Lansing, and was born in Albany
y. Y, fifty-eight years ago. She be-
longed to an old New York family. She
was married to Mr.. Gage in Denver, Col.
in 1887. Mrs Gage was a deservedly pop
Illar woman and possessed many personal
charms. She was tall and had q fine car
ridge. She was thoroughly domestic in
her tastes. She was always a most
charming hostess. Many quiet deeds of
charity are placed to her credit. Her
death will cause deep sorrow to all who
had the pleasure of her acquaintance.
