a Frenchman and a German came |
near having a little international war |
Of their own yesterday, but owing to |
the fact that the representative of the |
Fatherland was not down town last |
evening, a repetition of the Franco |
PruSsian war on a small scale was |
probably averted. Prior to the sailing i
of the French cruiser Protet for AGA |
pulco yesterday morning, the German !
came to the police station and sought |
High Sheriff Brown to issue war |
rant against the Frenchman whom he |
suspected of intending to depart on the |
Protet, although the latter has no con-
nection with the cruiser. The High |
Sheriff asked his reasons for wanting |
the warrant, and for reply the German |
said it was because he was looking out |
for the interests of the community, as |
the Frenchman was to appear before |
the Federal Grand Jury in April. The |
High Sheriff and the Deputy Sheriff |
denied the request, saying they We're |
satisfied that the Frenchman had no |
intention of leaving Honolulu. About |
noon time the Frenchman heard of the |
occurrence and began a search for the |
German 5ut was unable 40 find him. |
The search was being instituted up to |
a late hour last night, but was unsuc-
ceSSfu.
