Break For Liberty.

The well laid plans Of IA des-
peTate men, federal prisoners in
the hold.over, to make their es-
cape was frustrated by the timely
discovery Wednesday of Deputy
Marshal Pies Thompson.
The officer became aware Of
slight rumor that some pris-
oners were possessed oftwo knives
and intended to make a break for
liberty. Mr.. Thompson worked
on the rumor until Wednesday
when with, Jailer Barker, he con-
fronted the ID men in the west
cell. They denied all knowledge
OF having any weapons or tools
and said they liked the place very
well and did not want to break
away from their happy home.
A thorough search was made
and two wicked.looking knives aud
big file were found.
The prisoners had a hole about
two feet square cut in the aoor
This was cleverly covered aud II
is thought that they intended tC
make their break tonight.
The men we're heavily shackled
and the hole in the floor repaired
We invite the public TO examip,
our fresh liue OF groceries. Every
thing new. All orders promptly nlles

law and Goes to Jail Charged With
Murderous Assault

fusillade of shots from a 22-caliber
revolver in Nuuanu Valley at 1 O'Clock
yesterday, followed by the echoes in
redoubled numbers, caused residents of
that section Of the city to awake on
the jump. AS things turned out the
shots were intended to kill, and only
the bad marskmanship of W. H. Thone,
a former bartender of Harry Juen, pre-
vented the pistol-wielder from having
charge of murder entered against him
at the police station.
AS it is. Thone is now held at the
station charged with assault with in
tent to commit murder. The charge is
a serious one, and, as there were about
a score of witnesses who say they saw
Thone attempt to kill his father-in-
law, Albert Schaefer, the future has a
dismal outlook for him.
For long time past bad blood has
existed between the two men, and
quarrels have been frequent AT times
it is said that their rows called out
the entire neighborhood in which they
lived, and kept the section in furore
They could not get along with each
other, but continued to live under the
same roof.

covered with white sand. Swings in

playthings which attract children, have
been placed within the enclosure and
are already used by those who have al

of white sand gives the enclosure a

j. G. Rothwell, manager for Peacock

ter, addressed to the House Committee
on Liquor Licenses:
Gentlemen: 1t is to be regretted that
a committee of the House of Representa-
tives should have presented q report
such as was made last Thursday by the
House Committee on Liquor Licenses,
directed against Treasurer Lansing in
particular, and incidentally against a
reputable and prominent mercantile
house, with no better evidence than is
contained in the testimony of certain
persons having supposed grievances tthe
evidence being entirely confined to such)
whose statements were founded altogeth-
er on street talk.
In one case, which will have especial
attention in due season, deliberate false
hoods were sworn to by the witness, and
as deliberately swallowed and accepted
by your gullible If energetic committee.
It did not occur to yous committee to
make any enquiry of those who were be-
ing slandered, or to seek any other. evil
dence: you might have. IN such event,
learned some fa;cts-and facts were evil
IDENTIFY the least Of the objects sought.
There is not one iota of reputable evil
dence in all the testimony taken by your
committee that would justify the report,
and it is apparent to any WHO have read
ii that not only was no opportunity CIV
en- the Treasurer or others concerned,
for explanation or defense, but that the
committee went about its work with a
set purpose-that of finding some excuse
for refusal to confirm the Governor 5

to Thone, and the latter was slapped

and going inside. the house, got a 22-
caiibre revolver with which he threat

was not long before Thone and Schae-
fer came within pistol range, and the
man with the light artillery opened
fire. There were few kopjes and laag-
ers in Schaefer's vicinity, and he beat
a hasty retreat from the field. The ad-
yancing force of one man pursued
Schaefer, and kept up the firing until
feur cylinders in the revolver were

taken refuge in small gulch near the
house, and was safe from further at
tempts on the part of Thone to make
Schaefer says quite seriously that he
lodged the bullets.
There were number of natives and
others In the vicinity when the battle
began, and their testimony is al
against Thone. The latter explains the
firing by stating that he hadn't any

law as target but that he was on ar

lieyed the situation and it is now be
lieved chat in every instance those
without proper food and clothing were
in a measure provided for, and that
last night there was vastly fewer peo-
pie who were compelled to sleep upon
the streets.
About 200 tents were erected, and
while they were very crowded last
night and while several churches and
school houses in the suburbs also
were crowded with sleepers, this con.
dition also may be relieved today by
the arrival of about 1000 tents from
the general government at Washing
ton, which Chairman Bours, Of the
housing committee, will have erected
at once. The military companies
have been of great assistance to Mr..
Bours, with their experience in rap
idly erecting tents, and before tonight
there may be several tented villages
in the city with cots and blankets,
and water supply in almost every
village for the sufferers. Today there
also may be provided several extra
commissary stations in various parts
OF the city to relieve the situation
at the two already established, and
likely there may be one in each VII
lage Of tents. There has been no out
break of sickness in the city and the
several cases Of nervous prostration
which have been reported are now
well on the way to recovery.
Thousands Of people have left the
city. Those remaining will be able
to receive some kind of labor at the
bureaus which have been established.
The cleaning up of the streets has
been going on rapidly. No more dead
bodies were found, though a sys
tematic search had not begun.
