Ottawa. Ont. oct 1.-THE Canadian

but as they were clearly marked on

ONLY PARTLY CORRECT
Smelling Company Has Planned
the Expenditure of But
$4,000 Here.
Especial to The HeraIoN

New York, Oct. 17.-An official of
the American Smelling & Refining
company says that the report that the
company intends to spend $4,000. 600 or
$4000,O00 in two new smelters is in
correct. The intention is TO erect a
copper smelter at Salt Lake city in
connection with the plant already To-
Gated there. The cost of this new
plant viii be between $500 600 and $3.50
600. It is stated by an official that
the company is earning more money
at the present time than at any time
in its history. Tt is again pointed out
that the business shows better hnan-
cial results in poor times than in
boom times. Labor is much cheaper
and materials can be purchased at
lower prices, while the demand for
the finished product-gOld, silver and
lead-remains practically undimin-
ished.

DRUNKEN MAN
DRIVES ON TRACK

The prompt work of Eotorman Peter
son on Rapid Transit Car II at 7:15
o'clock last evening prevented the car
from smashing buggy and injuring its
occupant, a drunken man, on the Nc
Gully tract track. The car was going
ahead at good speed, as is general on
that free stretch, and rain then fall
ing somewhat obscured the motorman's
vision through the glass windows of
the vestibule. What was Peterson's
establishment, when about three-quar-
tiers of the way across, to discover a
buggy on the track right ahead Of him
going in the direction of King street.
He damned the brake. but as the rails
were slippery with rain, the car did not
stop quickly, and the rails were sanded.
The car came to a stop a few inches
from the buggy. The motorman found
that the horse was being driven by
drunken man. a young clerk employed
down town. The only way the man
could have ridden onto the track was
from the Waikiki road, as the entire
district is a series of waterways. The
buggy finally left the track near
Buchanan's where there is a road.

MURPHY MUST STAND TRIAL.
Patrick Murphy entered plea of not
guilty to murder yesterday after Judge
Robinson had denied motion to quash
the indictment found against him.
The motion to quash was in the ma
ture of an attack upon the grand jury,
it being alleged that the venire had
been directed to the High Sheriff. but
was executed by Albert McGurn, depu-
ty sheriff. It was also alleged that NJ.
T. Simonton drew the jury whereas
Henry Smith, the chief clerk is by law
charged with that duty. Further it
was charged that the grand jury was

the law requires that one hundred
names should be used and prepared by

Chief Thurston Introduces Gun
With Which to Shoot

Chief Thurston of the Fire Depart
ment and the fremen at the headquar-
tiers station made test yesterday OF
the new extension ladder and truck re-
ceived from San Francisco on Friday
ON the steamer Alameda. and found it
to be satisfactory. The machine is not
an aerial ladder truck, as has generally
been supposed, the extension ladders
being separate from the truck and op-
Grated independently OF it.
The test yesterday consisted in run
ming the ladder-truck up Fort street to
a point opposite the Orpheum theater.
The s5-foot extension ladders were run
out from the shelves on the truck and
carried to the middle of the street OPP
posIte the Sachs Building. Two men.
each armed with a long pole, three
inches in diameter. hooked to ring
at the small end of the main ladder.
Six other men attached a device of
steel rods arranged in double TRAN
gle to the heavier end of the main lad
der, using it was a lever by which
the ladder was elevated to a perpen-
dicular position. The triangle formed
a projecting foot-base to maintain the
ladder in steady position. At sig
nal two men hauled away at a rope and
two other ladders, set within each 9TH
er. like shuttIes, rose above the main
ladder until the extension reached the
65-feet of their length. With the aid
of the two poles as stiff guys, the lad
der was tiled over until it rested on
the cornfce of the Sachs Building. Four
men Immediately ran up the rungs, the
entire operation consuming only thirty
five seconds. This is much quicker
truck can be elevated and put in posi-
ton.
A new feature in the fighting of fires
in Honolulu was then introduced. An

Attached to the ring was a stout cord
about 200 feet in length. A fireman
went to the top of the building. the
gun was aimed almost straight up to-
ward the sky. and was then fired. A
loud report was followed by the arrow
hurting through the air. 1t landed on
the roof and the fireman hauled away.

This frearm is designed to send ropes

they can pull line of hose up.

test.
