ATTORNEY PATTERSON Sc
CURES COLES RELEASE
Who was Charged With the Murder of
Mrs. Ada Dennis-A Great Legal Battle
Between Giants and an Unpsra1lel Case
IN the District Courts-A Story of the
Case and Mr.. Patterson's History.

1t will be remembered that early on
the morning of the tenth day of Decem-
Der, 1901, Mrs Ada Gilbert Dennis was
found i'll her bed at her residence on h
Street, northwest, brutally murdered The
crime shocked the whole community and
have since been made by the whole en-
quiry of the police and detective force to
locate the murderer, and cause his ap-
prehension. We all know that every ef-
fort to accomplish this end has proved
abortive and the motive and the identity
of the miscreant are still enveloped i'll
profound mystery.
Some arrests were made but nothing
was developed and the parties were
promptly discharged. Then the police,
desperate and chagrined over their
failure to make a case took into custody
twice, one Richard Cole, who at the time
of the sad occurrence was employed by
Mrs. Dennis as porter in her establish
ment. Nothing having been brought out
against him at his first arrest, he was at
length set free, but he was again arrested
and held by the coroner's jury to await
the action of the grand jury. This
second arrest without a scintilla of tes-
timony but predicated almost wholly on
suspicious, at once aroused the indigna-
ton of all the fair-minded of the COM
munity and notably of the better class
of the colored people, and Richard Cole
had, and continues to have their syI.l-
pathy and substantial support. Realiz-
ing that there was no justification for his
detention, the family of Richard Cole de-
ermined to fight for his release.
Here was their first difficulty. OF
course they were told that the victim
having been a white woman and every
officer of the law, white man, 1t would
be most prudent and most advantageous
to Richard Cole to secure the services OF
a white lawyer But the family are
certainly to be highly commended for
the stand they took in this matter by re-
fusing to employ white man and IN
sisting that if a colored man could be
found who was learned in the law and

There seem to be three distinct and
dOgmatic theories with respect to the
education of the Negro, held by as
many classes of people One is that
he should receive as the prize to be
at what is known as the higher edu-
cation; another, that any training
which looks to a mental development
without manual accomplishments
must be worse than wasted, because it
gives the black man ideas above his
position. Yet a third, which has been
more boldly declared of late than prev
iously is that the Negro is better off
with no education at all. This last
may be dismissed as simply the rotten
fruit Of a debased and prejudiced
mind. 1t calls simply for condemna-
ton without consideration.
A recent address by Professor Kelly
Miller, of Howard University, which
We publish today in another column.
Is as Illuminating a discussion of this
somewhat mixed problem as has ever
come to our notice. He puts himself
out side the narrow limitations to
which we have referred. not to uphold
..
he is not quarrelling with those who
must work along the lower educa-
uonaI levels, but he nevertheless con-
lends and gives almost unchallengable
reasons not only for the value but the
necessity Of higher education for the
colored race. In this address he has
not only made out a very strong case
Dut he has proved in his own life and
service the desirableness of that for
which he pleads. For Professor Mill

BASEBALL
TOMORROW

The baseball games tomorrow will
consist of matches between the Kane
hamehas and the Males and the II. A.
C.s and Customs. The Kamehameha
and Males should produce a good
game with the odds in favor of the
green and yellow. The II. A. C.s against
the Smugglers is practically a foregOne
conclusion, the Customs still being
without a pitcher.
Much regret over the lack of a bat
| terry and sympathy with the other
wise clever team of the Customs is
generally expressed by players. The
| team has been again weakened by the
loss of Novel; and Jim German who
is still suffering from the effects of the
blow on the head given him by the
Kamehameha batsman earlier in the
season. Jim seems to spend about
thirty per cent of his time in the hos
ptal anyway.
The Customs will make a desperate
effort to sign a good pitcher in time
for next season. Pat Gleason of the H.
a. C.s has already taken time by the
forelock and is signing men for next
year. The Elks have a canvassing
committee also on the ground and as
several of the leagues best players are
already members of the order, there is
every probability of their team being
prominent in the league next year.
A devOtee and eX-player of the game,
practically a malihini here, but who
has watched the local season and
fresh from National League games in
Boston has criticized the lack of SUBJ
stitute preparation in the teams. "They
are all apt to depend too much upon
one man for the position" he says.
There may be other catchers to take
Cunha's place for instance but the
battery of the H. A. C.s would be bad
ty weakened if anything happened to
prevent either Cunha or JOY playing.
There should always be a good second
catcher in the club, and he must be al
lowed to catch a league game once in
a while, if he is going to substitute sue
cessfully. 1t is different in profession
al ball where the men do nothing else
but take care of themselves and other
business cannot interfere. Then the
second pitcher should be constantly de-
velOped in practice in a business like
way under a good trainer who will
bring out his strength and eliminate
his weakness. Desultory practice can
not make pitcher, neither can he train
himself,

GOOD AS OIL STOCK
SCHEME OF HONOLULU PEOPLE
TO LEASE ISLAND.
No Whites can Live on Island for any
Length of Time-Fifty Miles from
Queensland.

The acquisition of islands has appar-
entity not ended as far as Honolulu
capitalists are concerned with the Mar
Gus island episode still pending, with
Wake Island or other treasure island
towards which the Herman is supposed
to be on her way. A local syndicate
has banded together to control the lease
Of an island which existence is noted
| upon but few maps, albeit it is twice
the size of Oahu. Neither guano nor
moidores are here for the grasping but
the treasure and profits lie with a big
herd Of water buffaloes, a forest of rare
and valuable woods and a small tribe
of blacks.
The island is called Melville Island
and is located some fifty miles off the
northern coast of Queensland. No
white man has lived there for any
length of time. Hunters sometimes go
there from the mainland to kill the
water buffalo who live there in great
| quantities and employ the blacks sup
| posed to be some branch of Pupuan
! tribes, to skin their game. 1t is said
! that it would be impossible for any
! white man to live there continually.
! Dense growths of hard wood trees,
! teaks iron woods and the like grow
| high upon the island 1t has an area of
a little over 1000 square miles and is
| held under a lease which still has
| fOrty-twO years to run.
There are no towns on the mainland
| which can be called near to Melville
| Island, the nearest of all is Perth, that
being many miles away The island is
not in the regular pearl fishery limits
and it is not thought that there are
| any pearl oysters. 1t is on about the
| same latitude as Manila.
The lease is offered to a local COM
pany. A number of men, including
John Emmeluth, have put in small
sums as an investment, the whole
amount required being $4,000. What
the object of the hui is, has not been
disclosed. They may form a larger
company to handle the matter but whe-
ther they intend to sell the lumber, the
blacks or the water buffalo is not yet
apparent.
An expert in Australasian affairs,
| who is acquainted with the island and
has INDUCED in similar ventures, states
that he doubts very much if a clear til e
can be gained with recourse D the
priVy council of Great Britain, when
means great loss Of time and an ex-
pendture of money probably equal to
the $1,000 subscribed. Water buffalo
are, he thinks, a glut on the MAJ ket
and the climate and other conditions
such that no white man can live on the
island for any lengthy period.

its liberty for half an hour daily. They
alight on His Holiness shoulder, and
are wonderfully tame. Their singing
