PISTOL. USED ON
DANG Is FOUND
Every Cartridge Had Been
Fired-Dead Man Had
Money.

Robbery was undoubtedly the motive
which led to the taking of Young Dang's
life at Sea View, Punahou, on Monday
or Tuesday Although no inquest was
held yesterday, owing to the absence Of
High Sheriff Brown In the Police Court
all afternoon, yet sufficient evidence has
been gathered by the police detectives
to indicate that greed of gold caused
Young Dang's murderers to kin him.
David KAPPA yesterday visited the
place where the body of the unfortunate
Chinese was found, and there discovered
additional traces of the methods used
in robbing and killing the Chinese. Be
meath a kiawe tree revolver was found,
an exploded cartridge in each chamber
The weapon was slightly rusted, which
was probably due to having been SUBJ
jected to a wetting on Wednesday night
when the body was brought to the
morgue. other papers than those found
by Secretary Chariock of the Health
Department, were also picked up. A
large lava stone covered with blood and
to which were clinging several hairs. is
also in the possession of the detective.
The condition of the dead mans face
was such on the night of the examina-
ton, that the manner In which he had
received his injuries could not be definite
ly determined. That he had been beaten
by stones and other blunt instruments
could easily be seen. 1t is also believed
that he was shot In the face and In the
back of the head.
! A China man who lives In Manoa valley
appeared at the Police Station yesterday
afternoon and claimed to have seen
Young Dang on Tuesday morning. He
of fad Young Dang had been
working for sometime near Moanalua
and was paid off on Monday, receiving q
considerable sum of money. 1t was the
| intention of Dang to return to China.
The murderers probably heard of the
money In Dang's possession and either
! followed him to the lonely spot where
! he was killed. or lured him there.
The inquest will be held this after
noon.

WHAT wEARIEs ENGLAND.
Things That Are Making the Modern
British Tired.


We have got to this: The average man
rises in the morning from his New En-
gland folding bed, shaves with Connect
cut soap and Yankee safety razor, pulls
on his Boston boots over his SOCKS from
North Carolina, fastens his Hartford
braces, slips his Waltham or Waterbury
watch in his pocket, and sits down to
breakfast. There he congratulates his
wife on the way her Illinois straight
front corset sets off her Massachusetts
blouse, and he tackles his breakfast,
where he eats bread made from prairie
flour POSSIBLY doctored at the special
establishments on the lakes), timed oys-
tiers from the Pacific coast, and a slice
of Kansas City bacon, while his wife
plays with a slice of Chicago OK tongue.
The children are given Puritan oats At
the same time he reads his morning pa
per printed by American machines and
possibly on American paper.
He rushes out, catches the electric tram
CNew York; to Shepherds Bush, where
he gets in a Yankee elevator to take
him on to the American-fitted electric
railway to the city. In his Office every
thing, of course, is American. At lunch
time he hastily swallows some cold roast
beef that comes from a COW in Iowa, and
favors it with the latest New England
pickles, follows with a few Florida timed
peaches, and then soothes his mind with
a couple of Virginia cigarettes.
To follow his course all day would be
wearisome. But when evening comes he
seeks relaxation at the latest American
musical comedy, and finishes up with a
couple of little liver pills" made In

The seismograph recently set up at
Punahou under the particular care of
President Smith Of Oahu College, for
the purpose Of registering subterranean
disturbances, is, 1t is said, behaving
badly. The machine is arranged so that
violent agitation of the air will cause
needle to register correspondingly
jagged lines on film, and while the
apparatus has shown itself faithful to
it's purpose several times, yet 1t re-
peatedly goes beyond its duty, and Is

Novel Bill Which Has Been Introduce
In the Georgia Legislature,

Novel Bill Which Has Been introduced
In the Georgia Legislature,
Atlanta, Ga, Nov. 1.-THE shortest
bill of the Georgia legislative session,
one of the most unmistakable in mean
ing, and one which has aroused great
interest, is that introduced by Repre-
sentative Thomas of Pierce county,
which, if it becomes law, will abso-
lutely wipe all divorce laws off Geor-
gia statute books. The bill in full is as
follows:
BE it enacted by the general assem-
bly, Of Georgia, and it is hereby enact
ed by the authority of the same, that
from and after the passing of this act,
there shall be no more divorce cases in
Georgia for any cause.
BE it further enacted, that all laws
and parts Of laws in conflict herewith
be and the same are hereby repealed
Mr.. Thomas made no explanation
whatever of his bill. Under the rules
governing the legislature, debate will
be in order in the house when the bill
comes up for third reading, when
there will undoubtedly be lively dis
cussion over its merits. 1t has now
been referred to the general judiciary
committee.
