The free lance. (Fredericksburg, Va.) 1885-1926, 1902-01-23

Catarrh has become such a common
disease that a person entirely free from
this disgusting complaint is seldom met
with. II is customary to speak OF Catarrh
as nothing more serious than bad cold,
a simple inflammation of the nose and
throat. 1t is, in fact, complicated and
very dangerous disease; If not at first, 1t
very soon becomes so.
The blood is quickly contaminated by
the foul secretions, and the poison through
the general circulation is carried to all
parts Of the system.
Salves, washes and sprays are unsatis
factory and disappointing, because they do
not reach the seat of the trouble. S. S. S..
does. It cleanses the blood of the poison
and eliminates from the system all catar-
rhal secretions, and thus cures thoroughly
and permanently the worst cases.

RATTLE 0E LAYSAN,

The Battle of Laysan Island which
occurred about four months ago was
rehearsed before Judge Wilcox this
morning. The king" of the island
was charged by the Count, A. Won
Gravemeyer, with assault and battery,
Max Schlemmer the King was ac-
cused of having used his fist on the
anatomy of the Count and also kicked
Won Gravemeyer. Schlemmer pleaded
guilty and made a brief statement to
the court Schlemmer denied that he
had kicked the Count but admitted
having struck him. According to the
statement of Schemmer, the latter had
reason to suspect that the Count was
trying to create discord among the
japanese laborers on the island. A
row ensued in which SChlemmer un-
horsed the wearer of the Iron Cross.
The court imposed a fine of $40 and
costs.

OCEANIC CONTRACT
NOW IN DANGER

WELLINGTON, August 6.-During
the discussion on the Estimates Sir ].
G. Ward stated that it was not intend
ed to do anything further with regard
to the San Francisco mail service until
next session, when he hoped to be able
to submit proposals for the San Fran
cisco, Vancouver, and Federal services.
He hoped that those proposals would
meet with general acceptance in all
parts of the colony He thought that
the San Francisco service should be
continued with Auckland as the
terminal port. The Vancouver SER
vice should be arranged with Auck-
land as the terminal port, and they
should also make arrangements fer
federal service, but the Government
would not commit the colony before
Parliament met next session The
present San Francisco mali contract
was only for Is months from last ses-
sion, and at the expirlti N of that term
temporary arrangements would be
made till Parliament met.

MORE CASES THAN
THE LAW ALLOWED

Abraham Fernandez manager of the
Hawaiian Hardware Company, was
served with a penal summons this
morning charging him with violating
section 1907 of the penal laws regarding
the storing of turpentine in ware
houses. The law prohibits the storing
of more than 10 cases but Fernandes
had stored 40 cases in the company's
ware house in the Campbell block.
The presence of the turpentine was
accidentally discovered last Saturday
during the fire that started in the ware
house of the Hawaiian Hardware COM
pany. 1t was High Sheriff Brown who
discovered the presence of the turpen-
tine in such quantity. He went into
the warehouse during the fire and there
to his surprise, saw stacked up ABOUT
40 cases of turpentine. No action was
of course, taken at that time looking to
the prosecution of the matter but this
morning Mr.. Fernandez was served
with the summons. The case was con-
tinued until September by Judge Will
cox.
After the fire, the High Sheriff had
officers make a tour of the city to the
various places where gasoline and coal
oil was sold. The officers were instruct
ed to ascertain if the law which pro-
hibits the storing of more than ten
cases of oil or turpentine or one case
lJf gasoline, was being violated. One
Chinese doing business on Nuuanu
street was apprehended this morning
and taken into custody.
Mr.. Fernandez stated that he was
aware that the law included the stor-
ing of turpentine and thought it res
tricted only gasoline and coal Oil

TAX OFFICE CLERKS
TAKEN INTO
CUSTODY
GRAND JURY INDICTS THOMPSON
AND WOODWARD ON CHARGE
OF EMBEzzLEMENT-BOTH AP-
FEARED IN COURT TODAY.

Alexander D. Thompson, former chief
deputy in the tax collectors office, and
Joseph Woodward, one of the clerks
under him, We're arraigned before
Judge Gear this morning on five in
dictments for embezzlement, covering
in all twelve different charges of hav
ing appropriated to their own use
money that belonged to the Territory.
Thompson was represented by Attor
ney A. G. M. Robertson, and Wood
ward by +. M. Brooks. Pleas were re-
served in both cases. and a postpone
ment was allowed to tomorrow morn
ing. Both defendants are in custody.
Two of the indictments contain three
counts each, alleging that the defend
ants took 81 in each case, money which
they had collected as employees of the
Territory. for taxes. Another indict-
ment declares that they appropriated
to their own use $5 on two occa-
sions and $12.10 on another occasion.
In fourth indictment they are alleg-
ed to have stolen $3.50 on two occasions
and the other charge is also an accu-
sation of having stolen $3.50. The sum
total of the peculations set forth is
therefore $6S.6O
The money alleged to have been TAX
en- by the defendants was personal tax
money 1t is the theory of the prose-
cution that the two men stood together
in their dishonesty and divided the
proceeds, and they are mentioned joint
ly in all the indictments, which are
very lengthy ones, setting forth the
facts as to the employment of Thomp-
son and Woodward by the Territory.
In the defense, it is stated, the defend
ants will accuse each other.

School Progress In Hawaii

Statistics of the Public School De-
partment which will probably be in
cluded in the Superintendent of Public
Instructions report to Governor Dole,
throw interesting sidelghts on the
personnel of the teachers and pupils of
the territory.
The total enrolment in all schools of
the territory, public or private is 17,5lS,
the public schools taking in 1888 an
advance of 5000 pupils since a decade
ago. There are 143 public schools, the
female pupils numbering practically
six thousand to the male classes of
seven thousand odd Female teachers
predominate largely. Out of a total of
$50 276 are school marms." The pri-
vate schools numbering 54 average
about the same way.
The cosmopolitan nature of the popu-
lation is well shown in the eleven divi-
sions that have to be made. The native
children of pure Hawaiian consanguin-
ity have lessened somewhat in number
but those of mixed blood have, on the
other hand, increased, in all a gain
from ten years ago of some 500 children
who claim Hawaiian ancestry. The to-
tails show 7772 pure and part Hawaiians
The Portuguese have almost doubled
their numbers. japanese children have
come rapidly under American educa-
tional methods in the last decade. In
1892 the Japanese children in Tie
schools numbered a scant sixty while
now they are close to two thousand.
The Chinese have also increased but IN
a lesser ratio At present there are
fourteen hundred attending.
A surprise comes with the children of
the Porto Ricans who have been in the
territory barely two years. Six hum
dred of these are growing up under the

the claim of ]. Andrew and Co, print
ers, of Bridge-street, was tried. The
claimant was represented by j. H. Car
ruthers, and Mr.. Lamb, instructed by
the Crown Solicitor appeared for the
Treasury. Evidence was given of the
loss sustained by the quarantining in
March last of the business premises of
the claimants, and of a further loss
sustained by a closing notice under
the 3Sth section of the Public Health
Act, which resulted in the claimant re-
moving his stock and business to other
premises. 1t was contended for the
Crown that a sum of G190 was sufficient
to satisfy any claim which properly
arose out of the quarantining of the
premises. on the other hand it was
submitted that the action of the Board
Of Health in either directly "quaran-
lining or by its local authority in
closing had put the claimants to Il
much greater outlay than they had
claimed, and that as the action taken
was in the public interest" so the
individual sufferer should not be the
loser, but should be fairly and reason
ably compensated from the public
funds.
His Honor reserved his decision until
yesterday when he awarded G549 5s 10d
to the claimants.

WASHINGTON, August Is
AguinaldO may come to this
country to lecture. 1t was
stated at the War Department
today that a letter had been re-
ceived from a well-known anti
imperialist asking if there was
any reason why Aguinaldo
might not be brought to this
country for that purpose.
No direct reply was made by
the War Department. Instead a
copy of the general amnesty
proclamation granting freedom
to all Filipinos who would lay
down their arms on July was
mailed to the anti-imperialist.
The inference of this was, of
course, that there would be no
objection.
