ANNOYING TO OFFICIALS.
Letter Writers Who Detail Grfev-
ances and Offer Advice.

Two persons alleged to be insane have
been annoying people in official life during
recent weeks by writing them letters on
various topics One of them is James P.
Hodges, a veteran. siXtythree years old.
who was arrested late yesterday afternoon.
The other is a young colored man named
Johnson He has not been arrested.
Hodges addressed most of his letters to
Maj. Sylvester, chief of police, expressing
in them the belief that druggists and cigar
dealers We're trying to poison him. He
imagines there is morphine in everything
he buys Johnson sends typewriter letters
to members Of Congress and others, volun-
teering information concerning important
legislation. He indulges in no threatening
language, however and there is no way in
which the police authorities can get him, as
he remains at the home of his parents in
this city
Mr.. Hodges, 1t is alleged, is victim Of
the morphine habit, which he says he con-
tracted number of years ago by taking a
cough mixture Of which the drug was a
part Yesterday afternoon he sent note
to Maj. Sylvester by a small boy whom he
met near police headquarters. Just after
the boy entered the building Hodges left at
away, but the police of the second precinct
arrested him shortly~afterward at his
boarding house, No. 419 X street north
west.
Hodges Is q native OF New 1ofK, ana was
for a number of years q clerk in the War
Department. He was an inmate of St. Eliza
beths Asylum for the Insane in 1894, hav-
ing been sent there in November and re-
leased two months later as improved His
wife is at present employed as superintend-
ent of the Lenthal Home.
Mr.. Hodges says he went to Illinois when
he was quite young, and at the breaking
out of the war he enlisted in Company F,
92d Illinois Infantry. After the war he
says he held position in Norfolk. Va.
and was afterward employed in a railroad
office at Burlington, Iowa Later he re-
received an appointment as clerk in the
War Department. which he held until 1884,
Today the elderly man was examined by
the police surgeons at the house of deten-
ton. He was pronounced insane, and Sani-
tary Officer Frank will send him to the
asylum late this afternoon.

the Act reads as follows:
But the Legislature shall not
grant to any corporation, association or
Individual any special or exclusive priv
ilege, immunity or franchise without the
approval of Congress.
To get the approval of Congress for
so small thing as a Honolulu fran
lchise might mean tedious delay, so it
would perhaps be well for the Legisla-
ture to pass a general law giving cleo
tric-supply corporations of certain spe-
Gifted capacity to carry on large enter
prises the right to string or lay wires
and otherwise install their plants.
Otherwise competition in the telephone
and lighting business must find this
field discouraging.
