Claims He Is Not Guilty.

Mr.. Allen was found at home in a
handsomely furnished cottage at the
corner of Wilder and Punahou streets,
and as he appeared in a rich dressing
gown, he looked more like man of
leisure than the professional gambler
To the ordinary visitor the interior of
the cottage presented q picture OF
comfort and ease, that would make it
difficult to imagine the vile purposes
for which it is designed, AS one en-
tered the parlor true home picture
met the eye, and Woman'S hdndiwork
was evident everywhere. ON d little
center table was a cabinet photograph
of Allen, and at hand were photographs
of the woman who claims to be his
wife,
A sense of luxury prevailed through
out the house; as the eye rested on an
innocent looking table IN the dining
room it was hard to believe that con-
cealed somewhere beneath the table
were wires connected with electrical

dence of the designs of the host 1t
is also claimed that within the four
walls of the cottage were concealed
honest gambler, and that even the nu-
merous servants were used as aides-de-
camp.
During the conversation Allen was
apparently i'll at ease, and it was quite
evident that he wished the questioning
over. When addressed by his alias of
Billy Hurd, or Hurt Allen colored,
and hesitated a second before he could
regain his speech, and when he did,
was only able to utter a lame excuse
about being proud of his own name,
Allen, and never had any reason to
change it.

that he had letters of Introduction to

Allen stated that he had not present

causing them to make plans for his

The DANvILLE REGISTER thinks
that in order 10 become a free
trader" the reciprocity advocate
needs only to become logical. so
nearly related are the two questions.
While not viewing them I'm such close
affinity The FREE LANCE sees in the
move OF these Republican tariff re-
formers a long step toward free trade.
Reciprocity means tariff reform
with "a vengeance" For tariff re-
form let us devoutly pray; from
free trade let Us pray frequently to
be delivered The Democratic party
very unfortunately has become luke
warm over tariff revision. This is
due entirely to is iudi-crttion in be-
ING drawn alter vag3IieS and chi
meras of so many types, allowing It's
important tenets. among them its one
winning issue since the war, 10 be-
come subOrdinated 70 them. Slow
to recover the dropping standard the
Republican party as illustrated IN
the late President Mckinley has
quickly snatched from the enemy his
most formidable andpopular slogan,
and will meet the Democracy upon
equal footingin the tariff fight OF the
next national election. Free silver
has blown away, anti-imperialism
has become unpopular and both
parties declare against the trusts.
The Democratic party can no longer
claim a monopoly OF the tariff re-
form issue. On the first two ques-
tions the Republicans stand winners,
on the last two it is a drawn battle
between them. Something may
turn up for the Micawber-like party
to make a winning fight on, but the
dim distance Obscures it as yet. The
Democracy lost and lost heavy
when in the Statecampaigns OF 1901
it failed TO plead for "a reform OF
the tariff, thereby occupying first
the ground on which to wage battle,
and upon dictated terms.
