RATHER UNIQUE SENTENCE
Directs Petty Offender to Sing a Song
and Dance the Hula for
Punishment

HONOLULU. Sept. 1s.-To sing a song
and dance a hula was the penalty inflicted
upon an offender in court of justice at
Kona, on the island Of Hawaii Accord
ing to the story, man appeared before
Judge Kaai a short time ago charged
with a statutory offense. The woman in
the case refused TO give evidence against
the defendant. AS she was the principal
witness for the prosecution the case
against the defendant was rather shaky.
Still further, the fellow was not blessed
with worldly goods. so that no fine could
be got out Of him. To satisfy the require
ments Of justice I'm way to fit the crime
and still not be too hard on the offender,
the court imposed a unique sentence. The
defendant was to sing a song and dance
hula outside Of the courtroom. This was
accordingly done TO the satisfaction of
the complainant, the court, the defend
ant and every one else concerned.

Building Occupied by Him as
Lodging-HouSe.

CHICO. Sept. 2O.-Business people of
Chico were given fire scare this even
ing by a blaze which broke out suddenly
in four places in the two story brick
building located in the central part of
the business district and occupied by A..
Helwig as a coffee and lodging-house.
The fire was extinguished so quickly by
the local fire department that the evi-
dence of its incendiary origin was not
destroyed and in consequence Helwig was
placed under arrest before the hose
streams were taken from the interior of
the building.
Helwig has nothing to say regarding
the charge of arson lodged against him
by Chief Murphy. The fire was started
in two places on the second floor and
two on the lower. 1t is known that Hell
wig was in the building alone at the time
of the fire. He had recently become an

CHER DEMANDS
INVESTIGATION
Denies Bribery Charge
Made by Senator
Burton.
Special Correspondence.

HONOLULU, Sept. 13.-United States
Senator Burton of Kansas is reliably
quoted as having stated to Senator For
aker of Ohio that the Cher interests had
practically bribed the Hawaiian Terrific
rial administration in the matter of the
Kohala water franchise, so that other
competitors for the franchise had no
chance Burton's statements were made
in letter to Foraker 1t is reported, and
the Senator from Ohio at once commu-
nicated the charge to H. B. Cher, with
the result that the latter is starting an
investigation. Burtons charges included
Governor Dole, the Boyds and the mem
bers of the Executive Council generally.
The Senator from Kansas will have to
answer for them now, says Cher, and he
is therefore preparing as a starter to
have the matter investigated In talking
of the matter Cher said
The statement is made that I brtbed the
whole Hawaiian Government and now we will
to Senator Burton's statements at once and
furnished the Governor copy OF It, The in
vestisation viii reach further than those inter
some suits for criminal libel before we get
through. / shall go into the question as com
pletely as l went into the Kohala forests TO
investigate the water supply. Senator Bur
tons charges also included the statement that
Boyd and other officials were heavily inter
ested in our side Of the matter and that we
had a representative before the Executive
Council who held five Government positions
under salary. We will find cut all about it
now.
Cher will probably take steps to pre-
vent the franchise being put up at auc-
ton. He claims that the Parker interests
had an absolute agreement with his side
two years ago and that they should be
held to It.

be DAYS after an encounter before any

killed by Curry because the latter feared
he would betray the Curry gang In spite
of this young Landusky is known as a

promiscuous purchase of cartridges and
the fact that the posses are in search of
Curry lead TO the opinion that the outlaw

preparing to give their pursuers a warm
reception.
