A few weeks ago Turk and Lewis,
the shipping masters, were in the
U. S. Court to answer to violation
OF the U. s. laws. Who was their
attorney? U. S. Commissioner E,
S. Gill, What was the case remark
able for2 Fer the fact that after a
sentence of 30 days had been i'm
posed upon the defendants by the
U. S. Judge, the U. S. Commissioner
made motion to shorten the sem
tence or change it for a money fne.
That move on the part of the U. S.
Commissioner was much comment
ed upon at the time by certain of
the legal fraternity OF Honolulu,
and will remain as a monument to
the legal knowledge Of that official.

Up to few months ago we had
such an official here. Although a
malihini, the then Commissioners
now Judge Robinson, while holding
the Office of U. S. Commissioners,
won the respect and esteem OF all
by his sterling qualities, profound
knowledge of the law, and the fair
minded and impartial way with
which he dispensed justice, which
traits are being sustained and much
commented upon since his elevation
to the Circuit Court bench. A
third Circuit Judge having been
allotted to Honolulu, Commissioners
Robinson received the appointment,
which was unanimously endorsed by
the people OF this city, and has not
been misplaced.

The Commissioner, we believe,
acts as runner for the shipping firm
OF Turk and Lewis. The Acme is a
full ligged ship ready to sail for
New York. She wants crew
Lewis has gone to the Coast in
quest OF tools and Turk cannot
handle his business alone. He ap-
peals to the U. S. Commissioner,
who Immediately devises ways and
means to procure the necessary
sailors. For be it known the Acme
pays good "blood money" for
sailors. The U. S. Com missioner
sends for Sabate and presents him
with the ultimatum over an old

Egulf of this place felt little out

some medicines, ,and took a spoon
full of what she supposed was an
effective liniment that she had of
ten used before. After swallow.
ing the medicine, she was horri-
fed at discovering that she had
poured the dose out of the lauda-
mum bottle. Fortunately the lau-
danum had been in stock several
years, and with it's age the mis-
chievous qualities of the drug had
mellowed down so that there was
just about enough life left in it
to make Mrs. Egulf feel comfort
able, and no i'll effects followed,
what might have been attended
with serious consequences.

EXTENSION OF The WABASH.
May Run Through Upper End of
This County.


Last Thursdays Philadelphia
Record says that according to the
latest information, George Gould
contemplates an extension of the
Wabash eastward from Pittsburg
via Greeusburg, Latrobe, Somer.
set, Bedford and Hustontown to
a connection with the Western
Maryland and the Reading near
Shippensburg.
The route outlined for the Wa
bash extension eastward from
Pittsburg is known to be 35 miles
shorter than the Pennsylvania
Railroad, and the grade selected
is reported to be only 80 feet to
the mile, or l per cent. The com
pletion of this line guarantees to
the Wabash 100000 tons of
freight per annum from the Uni
ted States Steel Corporation
alone, and protects that Trust
from any further increase in
rates on the part of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad. 1t is understood
that j. Pierpont Morgan, acting
upon the advice of Andrew Car
negie, is using his best efforts to
have this great trunk line com
pleted for the better protection of
the United States Steel Corpora
tion.
Sopronounced have the friends
of Mr.. Morgan been in their ad
vocacy of the greater Wabash that
it has been reported, with some
semblance of authority, that Mr..
Morgan stands ready, if necessa-
ry, to establish direct friendly re-
latons between the Gould inter.
ests and the Reading system,
whereby the Wabash, under GER
tain conditions, can have Phila-
delphia terminus, the advantages
of which are obvious. The per
sistent report that an under
standing has been reached be-
tween Mr.. Morgan and Mr..
Gould is very largely responsible
for the recent and continued ac-
tivity of Reading shares.
The route selected for the pro.
posed line from Pittsburg east
ward to a point in the Cum ber-
land Valley is the same as that
traversed by the lines Of the old
American Rapid Telegraph Com
pany, built in 1880, and since TAX
en- over by the Western Union.
The advantages of this route over
that of the Pennsylvania Railroad
were pointed out to Mr.. Gould by
the telegraph men who came di-
rectly in contact with him in the
management of the Western Uni
on, and for months past, survey
ors and engineers have been 60
ing over the ground preparing da.
ia preliminary to the actual work
lug surveys and plans.
1t is an established fact that
this route from Pittsburg to the
East was first mapped out for the
Pennsylvania Railroad, but for
some reason, it was abandoned
for the Juniata route.

EX-DIRECTOR TALKS.
He Makes Some Remarks On
Clem's Ninth Annual Re-
port.

port.
EDITOR NEWS:
1t is putting it mildly to say
that | was astonished when | read
the latter part of Mr.. Chesnut's
ninth annual report in the News
last week.
! do not question the fact thai
Mr.. Chestnut did good work in
the schools, but it looks to me-
now like he was trying to tear
down what he built.
There are those in the County
who may not be acquainted with
Mr.. Barton, and who may be in
huenced against him by Mr..
Chesnut's insinuations, to look
with suspicion upon the ability of
Mr.. Barton, thus to certain ex-
tent handicapping him in the out
start of his work; for without
confidence, there cannot be har-
monious work.
More than this. Mr.. Chestnut
tries to make it appear that Mr.
Barton is incompetent, and ques-
tions the morals and veracity OF
him, and of the directors who sup
ported him.
l know not what means may
have been used; but, if anything
unfair was done, l feel safe in say
ing it was done without the knowl.
edge of Mr.. Barton, whom have
known for many years, and have
always found him to be a gentle
man in all that the term implies;
and that his character will com
pare favorably with that of his
opponents who came forward af-
ter his election in the convention
on the 9th of May and gave him
their hand and promised that he
would have their cooperation and
support in his work in the schools.
L will leave it to the readers of
Mr.. Chesnut's report" whether
that promise is being kept while
he is trying to "down" the man.
before he has had chance to be-
gin the duties of his office.
Mr.. Chestnut, as well as some
of the other candidate, told me
that if Mr.. Barton had staid in
the County to do his teaching, it
would have been useless for any
one to oppose his election.
Now, if being member of the
faculty in one of the leading pro-
fessional training schools for
teachers in the state, and especial
ly in the school in which Fulton
county is part of the district; if
coming in contact and enjoying
the personal friendship and con-
fidence of the leading educational
men in the State; if attending
county Institutes in different
parts of the State as popular and
able instructors-I say if these
things disqualify man then Mr..
Barton is misfit; but if not, then
his chances of success are at least
equal to man who never taught
a day in graded school in his
life, and who scarcely ever looked
beyond the mountain tops of his
own county.
His reference to the directors
who did not happen to feel that he
was the "whole thing" is an in
suit and SANDER that will not be
soon forgotten.
The writer of this supported
Mr.. Barton through a clear sense !.
of duty, and will not now sit quiet
ly by and hear such charges made
without protesting.
