The natives are known as being
apt echolars aud our missionary
friends know this only too we'll.
They bad not been here long,
after the arrival OF their forefathers
10 1920, when they found that out.
Natives were eager for knowledge
and were willing scholars, but they
taught US in our own tongue and
the chiefs acd their children in
theirs II ,d the English language
been then taught US, by this time
the entire Hawaiian people would
have been an Euglish speaking pao
pie, and put to shame the stranger
within our gates. Bat had our
chiefs listened to the advice OF
missionary father who is alleged to
have said to beware OF tn sir chill
dren and not nurse them, for they
were not like unto them who had
come here in the cause of Christian
ity aud for tho love OF God, for they
need to be watched, implying prob
ably thereby that thoy were like
snakes, we today might have Jared
better. But as it is, our Chiefs are
to blame for making too much of
them and we are today the sufferers,
since most of them have passed
away, for their indisoretion and too
oyer con6ding in their progeny.
Politics without sentiment we
consider poor politics. Nothing
without sentiment is good, for senti-
ment is the condiment OF our nature.
Our missionary friends (kamaainas)
have generally been select and
clannish, mostly intermarrying
among themselves, vefy few OF them
being given to marriage with the
Hawaiians, bat in the few that have
intermsrried a certain amount OF
sentiment has been engendered, but
not sufficiently for the cohesion Of
oil diff ,reuces. Aside from all feel :
ings in the matter az ainst them, we
believe they are OF this country and
its people; we also believe there is
love in them for this county and
they have some fesling OF love for
its people; we further believe, aside
from politics aud their interests,
they mean well ty us and we by
them, and that they will receive us
with open hands and ever ready
purse to help the needy, and withal
to improve and better our condi-
tions, that is, if We have mind to
and if we mistake them not, and if
we do,then We are open to conviction
and other wise. We don't expect
such treatment from our new made
and would-be friends.
And now to a conclusion OF this
article. We would leave it to all
fair minded persons to say aud to
choose with whom would they
rather stay by, whether with those

But as regards our kamaaina
friends, those of the missionary
faction are in the majority. Their
homes and their interests are here;
they control most Of the business

for register of deeds There were we'll
defined rumors that Mr.. Leonard
would file his withdrawal from the

Pau Jr., so that instead of vacancies
being filled there would be more
created. 1t may be that Mr.. Leonard
will be persuaded to remain on the

HELD ON SUSPICION.
Prisoner Who Closely Resembles Man
Wanted For Murder in Iowa.

Officer Daniels arrested stranger
late Monday afternoon. for offering
"phony" rings for sale. When :. the
fellow saw the officer approaching he
'ducked" into saloon, but the officer
landed him. The man gave the name
of John Thompson and claims to have
been born at Hanover, Germany, and
to have come to America ten years
ago.
/. The prisoner closely answers the de-
scription of one Dan Williams, who is
wanted for the brutal murder of ! essie
and Martha Truman in Muscatine
county, Iowa, some time between
Aug. 18th and 10th last. A reward of
$500 is offered for Williams arrest
Sheriff Mcmillan of st. Peter, who
was in the city today, received card
today offering the reward for Will
liams' arrest, sand it was through this
means that the police officers learned
of the matter. Sheriff Mcmillan looked
the prisoner over and concluded that
he would notify the Iowa officials if
the city officials did not. Thompson
will probably be held several days or
until the Iowa officials can be COM
muDicated with. 1t is said that he
has told several contradictory stories

GOES TO SUPREME COURT
ConstitutionalitY of Enabling Act to
BE Tested.

The constitutionality of section ten
of the enabling act which puts limit
on the bonded Indebtedness of cities
where the Indebtedness is over five per
cent, is to be raised in the supreme
court at the October term.
The question is to come up in the
appeal from decision of Judge Bum
of the Ramsey county district court
on the armory bond matter. The
council ordered the issuance and sale
of 500, 900 worth of bonds for the
purpose of erecting a new armory for
the national guard.
The firm which purchased the bonds
refused to accept them on the ground
that the city, having passed the five
per cent limit of bonded Indebtedness,
could not legally issue them. Judge
Bum held this to be the fact. Min

BOWLING TO CONTEST.
Alleged Irregularities in Vote of Grant
County.

M. j. Bowling, candidate for the
Republican nomination for congress-
man from the Seventh district,
will undoubtedly take steps to have
the vote of Grant county at the recent
primary election thrown out.
Mr. Bowling learned Saturday night
that in two of the precincts of the
county the names of the congressional
candidates on the Republican ballot
were not rotated as required by law.
He left st. Paul Immediately to inves-
tigate the matter. and last evening he
wired The Pioneer Press that his in
vestigation showed that in none of the
precincts of Grant county did the
names of congressional rotate as pro-
vided by law.
Just what effect this will have on
the vote of Grant county. no one
seems prepared to say. The supreme
court has held that the failure of cleo
tion judges to put their initials on
election ballots at a general election
did not invalidate such votes But in
this instance it is urged that one
candidate was given first place on the
primary ballot, generally conceded a
marked advantage, whereas the law
provides otherwise, and the rights of
the other candidates at the election
were infringed upon to this extent.
There is a certain irony in the sit
uation when it is remembered that
Mr.. Bowling was the first man to file
for the nomination. The first place on
the ballots would be his, should it be
held that the names of candidates for
congressional nominations should be
placed upon the ballot in the order in
which they fled, as some attorneys
commended.
The result of the investigation in
Grant county is such that Mr.. Dow
ling's friends in st. Paul say there is
little doubt but that the courts will be
called upon tt. settle the matter. st.

stolen. Mr.. Zimmerman does not
know exactly what his loss ia yet.
The safe shows signs of having been
tempered with, but it resisted the
efforts to open it.
The store was closed at six clock
last night, and the burglary was not
discovered until this morning. The
police were notified, and believe that

liams, Murderer.
Officers Will Arrive Tonight to Look
at Him--Prisoner Claims an
AIibi.

The man giving the name of John
Thompson, who is being held at the
police station because, as stated by The
Free Press Tuesday, he closely an
swers the description of Dan Williams,
who is wanted at Muscatine, Iowa,
for the murder of Jessie and Martha
Tuman sometime between Aug. 18th
and 18th, denies that he is the man
wanted in Iowa. He claims that he is
able to prove that he was in Minnesota
at the time the murder was commit
ted. His statement is that he went
to work for German farmer named
August Kop, four mile from Morton,
on Aug. TIN, and worked there the 9Th
and went to Morton the 9th, where he
stayed over Sunday. He went back to
Kop's the 18th and worked there the
18th and 18th. The next day he
went to Morton and on the 10Th he
went to Redwood Falls. He spent the
10th at Morton and the 18th and 18th
at Gibbon. The next two or three
days he spent in Minneapolis. He
denies any knowledge of the Tuman
family or the murder.
When arrested Monday, Thompson
told Officer Daniels that he had ar
rived in the city that morning. He
said that he was at Boone, Iowa, in
August. He now states that he came
to the city FRIDAY and that he was
not in Iowa in August. He stopped
at the American House Friday, but
declined to register when asked to do
it.
Chief Bowen yesterday afternoon
notified Baxter's Detective agency at
which sent out the postal
cards Offering $500 reward for Dan
Williams arrest, and also notified the

MUST SHOW CAUSE
Recorder Williams Served With
Mandamus Papers.
The Central Station Firemen Get an
Order From Judge Cray, Return.
able Oct. 1st.

Judge Cray Wednesday issued an
order requiring City Recorder Will
liams to show cause on Oct. 1st why
he should not sign the warrant for
500 for the July and August salary of
F. W. Bangerter, fireman at the
central fire station. In case he does
not show sufficient cause, a writ of
mandRmus will be issued, requiring
him to Sign the warrant.
The council has increased the pay
OF the six central station firemen and
the two 6remen at the pump station,
to date from July LIST. Mr.. Williams
refuses to sign the warrants for the
increased pay. while willing to sign
at the old rate. He bases his refusal
on the ground that the charter pro-
vides a time for the council to fix
and that the salaries fixed at
that time must stand for two years.
The fremen claim that they do not
come under that section of the char
ter. Mr.. Bangerter's action will
cover the cases of the eight men whose
salary was increased.

BULLET ENDS ALL
Henry Wolfe Committed Sui
eide in st. Paul Yesterday.
lII-HeaIth Caused Him to Be Despon.
dent---He Was Formerly a
Mankato Resident.

Henry Wolfe committed suicide al
st. Paul Monday afternoon. -. He was
in a restaurant at 1949 University
avenue, when he ended his life. The
cause of the rash act was dependency.
Wolfe formerly lived in Mankato
and conducted saloon on South
Front street, near jackson street. He
left this city about seven years ago.
Until about nine months ago he. had
been living in Turtle. Lake, Wis. Re-
moving to st. Paul he purchased a
restaurant at 1949 University avenue
about five weeks ago. He had been
in i'll health, but yesterday appeared
to be more cheerful than usual.
Wolfe came home from town about
noon yesterday and after greeting the
people in the restaurant he asked
John Rose, who also recently came
from. Turtle Lake, to take. care
of the Office while he went up stairs TO
rest. He said that he felt better than
usual, although he WAS tired. About
3 80 O'Clock he came down stairs again
and entered bedroom where. 80. he
sleeps. .-----.
A few minutes later the people in
the place heard revolver shot,. They
rushed into the bedroom and found
Wolfe lying on the sofa, dead. His
right hand held revolver. He had
placed the pistol in his mouth and
pulled the trigger Death was.- in
Simultaneous. His mouth was badly
torn and the bullet went through his
brain and out at the back of the head.
Deputy Coroner E. II. Whitcomb
was called, and after investigating
he had the remains removed to the
morgue. An inquest will not be held.
Wolfe was forty-four years of age,
and he is survived by wife and five
children, whose ages range from eight
to nineteen. He bought the restaurant
FIVE weeks ago from Mrs. Kirby. and
he was planning to sell half-interest
in it in few days to John Roe.
Wolfe had been sick for a year or
more, and he had frequently spoken
of his intention to end his misery by
killing himself, but he was unusually
cheerful yesterday.
: He looked over the restaurant |
thoroughly before going down town at
8 O'Clock yesterday and arranged to
buy numerous things while down
town. He talked for long while
with Rose of their plans after they
had formed their partnership. --sz.A----
His wife is thoroughly Frustrated
over her husbands death and is un
der the care of doctor. When she
entered the bedroom and saw him
lying on the sofa with his head COW
cred with blood she tainted and was
revived with difficulty. Although. he
had often spoken of suicide his home
life had been happy, and his wife
said that she never thought that he
would carry out his threats.
Wolfe was brother of Louis Wolfe,
an employe of the Standard Brewing
company. He was member Of the
Sons of Herman lodge of this city.
This morning B. Roemer went to st.
Paul to act for the lodge.
