ESCAPED PRISONER TAKEN.

Hilo, February 2S.-The Hawaiian
burglar who escaped from Jail two
weeks ago was captured by natives on
Saturday on the beach six miles from
keaau. On Friday a man by the name
of Peter Ii inquired of Embert Brown
what reward would be paid for infor.
nation leading to the arrest of the
man. Brown questioned him and ne
admitted that the prisoner was at his
house.
Officer John Kelley was communi.
Gated with and he interviewed the ma.
tive. The latter would give no infor.
nation unless he was paid $50, and to
this the officer would not agree. In.
stead he waited until dark and then
rode to the mans house but the bark
ing dogs warned the escaped and h.
ran away.
The next night Kellep employed two
natives and they took the man into
custody. They were brought TO hilo
Saturday afternoon and sent to JAIL

NEW FEDERAL BUILDING
HILO CITIZENS MEET
TO SELECT GOOD SITE
Congressional Committee on Post
Offices Seeks Information NO
Free Site Is Offered
Uncle Sam.

Hilo, February 2S.-A mass meeting
was held Monday night at the Fire.
mans hall to consider questions in
connection with a Federal building at
this place. Congressman Mercer
chairman Of the committee on post.
offices, wrote Postmaster Severance at
this place for certain particulars. The
committee wanted to know the present
population of Hilo, its population ten
years ago and the probable population
of the place In 1920. 1t was also ask
ed IL any citizen or citizens OF Hilo
would donate q site for the Federal
building.
There were. between fifty and sixty
of the representative business men of
the city present. ]. A. Scott was made
chairman and N. Willfong secretary.
The question of the location of the
proposed building was debated. The
majority of those speaking were In
favor of the present site OF the pest.
Office. Messrs. J. c. Ridgway and DR..
Rice believed the building should be
located up Waianueanue street in the
van of Hilo's future growth. Efforts
were made by others to name a spot
which would probably be in the center
of the business district in 1920. Mr..
Philip Peck said that II would even be
more long headed to locate the build.
ing at a spot which would be the cen.
ter of the town hundred years hence.
Messrs. Turner, Peck, Mason, and 9th.
ers favored the present postoffice site.
Sheriff l.. A. Andrews said that he had
been informed that the Government
had conveyed the lot on which the
postohlce now stands to the Hilo Rail.
road Company.
The consensus of opinion was that
Congress would not begin to mix NOR.
tar for a new Hilo postofice for a per.
iod of three or five years and that all
the eXigencies of the present require
would be a few suggestions and sta.
tistiCs.
Accordingly, a committee consisting
Of Messrs. p. Peck J. w. Mason and
n. Willfong was appointed to compile
the information asked for by the Con.
gressional Committee.
No citizen stepped forward to pre-.
sent Uncle Sam with a building site.
But 1t was pointed out by many speak
crs that since Uncle Sam himself
owns choice lots upon nearly every
street in town, he scarce'Y can expect
a gift of this kind.

The proposition to solicit Federal

/ glance involving humiliation.
II may be said that eight years OF
Anglo-Saxon domination, with the aid
or the revenues should have provided
time and money sufficient to do for
Honolulu, what one year Of Federal
rule has done for Havana. We can
make plenty of excuses for our short
comings, but it is well to hear in mind
that the world is not in the habit OF
making allowances; that in the eye OF
the world we stand on the same foot
ing with other modern cities which as.

city OF an enlightened. enterprising
pcople-or she is not. by their fruits

ways Of showing enterprise than by
advertising. A united, steady effort for
the beautiful sanitary upbuilding OF
Honolulu, will yield a larger return in
trade and tourists than any specific
advertising.
A united, enlightened investigation
of the principles of sound city govern
ment, and the frame or charter most

Says the Rev. Chas. +. Dole: "Tha

wealth. II waits for the great leaders
who shall cleanse away its vile slums,
and recreate its great cities In beauty"

HNO'S CONTEMPT CASE
JUDGE LITTLE Ar OUTS
WITH AlTORNLY GENERAL
Sheriff Andrews Acts on Advice of
Attorney General and Ignores
Order of the Fourth
Circuit Court.

Hilo, Feb 2S.-The Fourth Circuit
Court is in the throes Of contempt
case which is likely to eclipse in spec
tacular results the famous contempt
dramas enacted in the First Circuit
Court at Honolulu few months ago.
At that time Judge Humphreys got
into tangle with the Attorney Cen
erals department, the executive
branch Of the government and nume-
GUS minor elements, which at Homo
lulu make up a rockribbed coalition
against the operation Of justice in Ha.
wall on the American plan
Again, it is the Judiciary VS.. the At
torpey Generals department. l.. A.
Andrews was before Judge Little last
Tuesday on an order to appear and
show reason why he should not be ad-
judged in contempt for violating an
order of the court. The order was that
all moneys for fines, forfeitures, execu-
tions, costs etc, in cases tried in the
Fourth Circuit Court should be paid
to the clerk OF that Court instead Of
being RENTED TO the High Sheriff at
Honolulu
The occasion for the order arose
upon the discovery by Judge Little that
the records in the Office of the clerk
failed to show satisfactions of judg.
ments. after fines had been paid and
the prisoners discharged. The clerk
explained that he could rot enter a
I gotigfnrtipn ~ iubumant l., 49,, aa,,
unless he received the amount OF the
fine. The Sheriff was ord cred in due
form, at the January term not to remit
any Fourth Circuit fines to the High
Sheriff hut to turn all such moneys
into the clerk of that court. The
Sheriff was given time to communicate
the order TO High Sheriff Brown and
Attorney General Dole. These Off
cials replied with peremptory order
directing Sheriff Andrews to ignore the
order Of Judge Little and send the
money 10 High Sheriff Brown. As a
subordinate officer under Brown. An
| drews complied by sending $500, the
amount OF q fine collected since tho
order was made. There was an inter-
esting tilt at arms in Court between
Andrews and the Judge. The Sheriff
was given every chance to make his
record Of defense and the matter was
taken under advlsement by the Court
until next week. Andrews places tho
responsibility Of his action upon the
order received from higher officer
and the Court is looking up light on
this point II may be that a bench
warrant will issue, summoning the
High Sheriff and the Attorney General
to Hilo to account for their interfer-
ence with a judicial order. II may be
that they will be sent to the Hilo jail
for contempt together with the Sherlff
Of this island.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Telephone communication was seri.
ously interfered with by the heavy
winds prevailing yesterday and last
night. The wind was blowing strong
from the north-northeast. Wires be.
came crossed in many places through.
out the city. No communication could
be had with the lookout at Diamond
Head, nor with the pilots Office. Nu-
merous complaints were made to cen
trail that no connection could be had
with many places, central answering
that the wind was responsible for this
state of affairs.
A sharp lookout was kept on all yes
sells in tn eharbOr last night, lest moor
lngs should part or anything should
carry away.
Evening bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1895-1912, 1902-03-02

In such event II will be interesting
to observe whether a pardon from Gov
ernor Dole can be sent by wireless tele-
graph or by the mental telepathy
route.
The order made by Judge Little to
Sheriff Andrews, is In strict conform
ity with the rule prevailing in all the
courts Of the States. It also has the
merit of being necessary In order that
the clerk of his Court may square the
records of his office when a fine is paid
and a prisoner discharged.

CAMPING IN THE CITY

A military camp in the heart of the
city Is a novelty which is exciting con-
siderable remark among citizens at
the present time. especially among
those who reside in the near neighbor-
hood Of the drill shed grounds.
On these grounds there are severl .
hundred soldiers from the transport
Warren in camp. Here they are ex-
nected to remain until the transport
leaves port. which Is not likely to DC
tor at least ten days. as the repairs to
her propeller will occupy all of that
time.
TIL etrOOps include men of the Sec
ond Battalion of the 18th Infantry as
well as Casuals and recruits. IGiGhi
hundred in all arrived on the transport.
The men eat aboard the vessel, llv"
ing on the drill shed grounds. Some
other arrangement is likely to be mile
soon in regard to the mess.
Those who live near the camp say
that they are awakened in the morning
by the lusty notes Of a bugle. the
bugler evidently possessing mighty
lungs.
The boys prefer the camp to the ship.
but are not enthusiastic over the pres
ent cOmmissary arrangement. They
will be taken on marches through the
country after this matter of the mess
has been settled, taking short marches
through the city and suburbs in The
meanwhile, that their legs may not get

MATERIAL FOR SHELLS.
Laying Hens Must Have Ratlonx Con-
sistiAE of Grains Containing
Lots Of Lime.

The gizzard is competent to render
very fine the hardest material, not ex-
cepting the diamond, and sharp edges
of glass are worn smooth by it. But to
do this it must be assisted by gravel,
shells, sand or other sharp-cutting ma
terial. These materials may pass out
of the system unless dissolved, which
can be done by vegetable acids that
separate the primitive elements Of the
various forms Of lime. Bones are phos-
plate of lime. They are insoluble in
water, and cannot be appropriated by
the hen until they are entirely changed
in chemical composition by some sub
stance that unites with them. Plaster
is soluble, but may prove injurious if
used freely. The best way to feed lime
is in the grains, such as wheat, oats,
buckwheat and barley. Glover hay is
rich in lime, and so arc peas and beans.
The action of mineral substances is
mostly mechanical, but while they may
be insufficient, so far as providing lime
is concerned, yet it is only theory,
and they may be really more useful.
Many persons have provided their hens
with all the oyster shells required. and
yet they laid soft-shell eggs. It can be
considered, however, that the difficulty
may be weakness of the egg-making
machinery. An egg traverses quite a
distance before it is surrounded by the
shell. and hens are subject to many
disorders. Overfat hens, inbred hens,
and sickly hens, are thus Affected
