Consideration When Schedule
Was Presented.

No adjustment of the trouble between
the wholesale butchers and members of
the Butchers Union has yet been reach
ed, and both sides maintain strict silence
as to the course they will pursue
Groups OF butchers clerks stood about
the market and commission district this
morning discussing the trouble. Mem
bers os~the Arorr.h have placed the mat
ter in the hands OF an executive COM
mittee. and whatever conclusion Is
reached Will be the work Of this COM
Eittee. An informal meeting Of the idle
clerks was held today, but no definite
form Of action was determined upon.
1t was stated today that a compro-
mise might be reached and that the men
would probably return to work within
the next few da-s.
Rumor of Broken Ranks.
A rumor gained credence through the
market that some of the men employed
by A. Loefier had withdrawn from the
union and returned to work. Oflcials of
the organization declare that II such is
the case the union has not been informed
or their action.
Representatives of the abbatoir in
Benning successfully absented them
selves from the vicinity OF the market

The nomination by the Virginia DEM

Each side has been claiming Mr.. Pat

followed the unexpected illness of his
holiness. The Pope was removed to his

The strain and excitement through

collapse and later reports confirmed
this. The doctors today for the first
time in the life of the distinguished
churchman had the opportunity OF
thoroughly examining his holiness.

in a well-advanced stage. The Pope was
told by the physicians that IL he con-
tinues his work with such ardor as he
has displayed in the past, his life will
be endangered. They suggested his i'm
mediate removal to the summer resi-

Plus X greatly misses the solicitous
care to which he was accustomed while
in Venice. 1t was only yesterday that
friends from Venice, who were given an
audience with 300 pilgrims from the some

Office were already hanging on him

WILL PREVENT
PRIMARY FRAUDS

The Republican Executive Committee
at a meeting yesterday passed resolu-
tions prohibiting delegates to the con
vention from being elected from an.
precinct in which they are not register
ed. 1t was further decided that voters
could not act at primaries where they
cannot vote unless they are registered
nowhere else within the Territory.
This action was taken to proven
colonization of voters, scheme which
1t is reported is already on foot. The
Republicans suffered from this at pas
primaries, and it is intended at sat
urday's elections to prevent further
frauds of this kind. The action of tn,
committee was taken in executive ses-
sion and only after long and spirited
discussion.
The action was also made necessarl
by the avowed intention of some men
to move into other districts hoping
thereby to gain nomination, which
they could not get in their old districts
Both schemes, it is expected, will b,
frustrated by the committees action.

The search for Jones went merrily on
yesterday but without result. The
| police have about come TO- the con-
1 clusion that the murderer went some
where in the lantana and killed him
self Three mounted policemen, with
pistols visibly displayed, trotted out
along the Diamond Head road scan
ming the underbrush on either side and
others went along the beaten paths
| elsewhere. Still no Jones. Two native
foot policemen were sent to explore the
Manoa valley. According to the motor
man they got off at the shelter be-
low the Castle house, sat there for
three trips and then returned to town.
They had not seen Jones pass and We're
probably glad that Jones hadn't seen
them.
The night motorman and conductor
of the Manoa car say that Jones made
the last trip with them on Saturday
night, returning on the inbound car
and getting off at the nearest point to
the tragedy about midnight Both men
say he was perfectly sober then and
wonder how he could have got 50 drunk
so soon afterward.
The Independent of last night had
this story: "The late Mrs f.. NJ. Jones
worked the whole of last week at Mrs.
Dickerson's millinery parlOrs. Mrs.
Dickerson says that on being paid last
Saturday afternoon, Mrs. Jones asked
whether she was to come to work on
Monday and was answered in the af-
firmative. and she went off seemingly
happy. From others, it is learned that
ton, 1,ar oh ,h.a
bought herself new pair of shoes and
then went home, going out later in the
evening for an electric car ride. Her
divorced husband was also passenger
on the same car with her about .
o'clock, she going out to Waikiki and
he alighting somewhere out Pawaa."
A STORY OF THE TRAGEDY.
f. w. Campbell who lives opposite
the Jones place where the shooting oc-
CURED early Sunday morning, has an
interesting story to tell. The first shot
fired by Jones awakened Mr. Campbelrs
cousin, who lives in the same house,
and the cousin awakened him. While
getting up he heard two more shots and
call from G. w. r. King to hurry
out. He went in his kimono. When
Campbell reached Kings house he
found him attending Mrs. Parmenter
who was suffering greatly, her wounded
eye Drotruding. Mrs. Parmenter said,
Jones has shot me and ruined my eye.
He also shot my daughter, who is over
there somewhere. Go and see."
1t was then 1880. Mr.. Campbell hur-
ried to his telephone and called up the
police station: There's been mur-
der here" he said, giving the address;
send up policemen at once"
The reply was: I'VE can't send any
one now; they are all down at Wal
kiii."
Campbell made some emphatic re-
marks about the police force and hung
up the receiver returning to Mrs. Par
menter. Twenty-Five minutes later, lbs
n. m, Bicycle officer Kane appeared
and asked what the trouble was.

Story Of the Tragic Night.

Campbell told him and said: zone
woman who is shot Is on Mr.. King 8
porch; another is either in the Jones
house or somewhere in the yard. You
go in and look
Kane refused to enter the yard but
proposed to go to Campbell's telephone.
Campbell scored him roundly for his
cowardice but on the policeman refus-
ing again, led him to the telephone
where he called up the police station.
When Kane came out he was badgered
into entering the yard. He would not
explore II but was willing to go to the
door of the house and knock. He did
so and a woman asked who he was.
He told and the door was opened, the
lights being turned up. After few
inquiries the policeman, again refus-
ing to enter the yard, got on his bike
and disappeared.
At 2:25 a. m., fifty-five minutes after
the police station had been notified, the
patrol wagon arrived with several ofii-
GERS BY this time many neighbors had
collected but nothing in particular had
been done for Mrs. Parmenter. The
police were excited. After learning all
they could about the shooting the head
one said: "The first thing for us to
do is to locate Jones" With that two
or three policemen made dead run
up the street and soon came running
back Jones hadn't been located on
that block. Meanwhile officers search
ed the yard and found the dead body
of Mrs Jones lying face downward in
a pool of blood. 1t was about six feet
from the fence.
John Colburn, relative of the de-
ceased, arrived and proposed to take
Mrs. Parmenter to his house. The
police had n stretcher but there was
some dispute about it's use and finally
two men picked the wounded woman up
in their arms and carried her to the
Colburn home. Then the native police
men came to and put the dead woman
on the stretcher.
MRS. PARMENTER.
Late last night Mrs. Parmenter was
reported to be sinking fast.
This word was given to be expected
by Mr.. Colburn at o'clock, when he
excused himself to an Advertiser re-
porter, who was interviewing him on
another subject by saying he had just
been called by telephone to so to his
sister if he would see her before she
became unconscious.
"She cannot live through the night,
the doctors say" Mr.. Colburn stated.
He returned in an hour to his office,
having found the danger less imminent
than was feared. Mrs. Parmenter had
said to those about her bedside:

PROMOTER
EDMUNDS
Denies That Mrs.
Wilcox is His
Partner.

Mr.. Edmunds the new-risen promo
ton luminary, called at the Adver-
tiser Office to request publication of
statements about the pawnbroking
scheme mentioned in this paper on
the 10Th inst. His objects are to give a
/ first hand statement of the nature of
| the enterprise and to contradict some
| assertions made by persons whose
names had been used in the article
referred to. AS an Advertiser report
er tried to see Mr.. Edmunds first of
all, this little accommodation is the
more readily given at the risk of free
! advertising.
THE Honolulu Trust, Loan and Dis
count Association and Mont de Piete,
Limited is the highly articulated
name of the proposed pawn-broking
corporation given in the articles Of
association shown by Mr.. Edmunds.
| It's stated capital is to be 100000 in
| shares of S25 par value each, 2000
shares or half of the stock to be is
sued forthwith. The privilege is re-
served of increasing the amount of
stock to $5OO,OOO
The s25 a share has the appearance
| of fine-mesh net for catching small
| fry.
Mr.. Edmunds lays much stress upon
the statement of the objects in the
charter. According to that the Mont
de Piete is designed to engage in the
business Of benevolent paWn-brok-
ing" 1t is confined to the taking Of
reasonable and lawful interest" and
must "avoid all usury and unlawful
processes"
Regarding the disclaimers Of Messrs.
Schnack and Burnette, the promoter
takes the responsibility of declaring
that SChnack, Fullerton and Burnette,
upon slip of paper handed to him
which he showed the reporter, offered
to engage that they would go out of
the pawn -broking business Individual
ly for the consideration, to be paid
each, of $3.50 in the company's stock
and $3.50 cash.
II have not consented finally to do
this" Mr.. Edmunds said referring to
the alleged offer. "They have not been
conducting the business legally, any
way he commented.
Il have thought of giving the man
agement to someone else" the Piete
promoter said in reference to Mr.. Bur-
nettes denial of any connection with
the scheme.
"Burnette," he proceeded, accepted
the position under certain conditions
and his name was not used without his
permission but with his permission as
can prove
This is no three-ball scheme as you
have called it," Mr.. Edmunds went on
to say. There is to be no taking Of
old clothes, old boots, etc. 1t will bC
an institution for lending money to
business men and others at fair and
legal interest.
II want to say that l have no office
on Kaahumanu street as you have
repl esented.'
Mr. Edmunds was here inforrled
that an occupant of the office room
in question pointed out certain desk
as the one at which Mr.. Edmunds
worked. To this he replied:
II only write a few letters at that
table. My office is with Mr.. Pain. His
office is out at Punahou.
Another thing I wish to deny is
that Mrs. Wilcox has anything to do
with the scheme. l have no political,
social or commercial relations with
her, She is simply a friend of one of
my friends and is canvassing among
the Hawaiians for stock subscriptions"
