Senate expended a little less than $1,000
for the same purpose. This does not
take into consideration the amount ex-
pended for printing and translating
the House Journal in Hawaiian, which
will cost from $1,000 to $500. AS a
matter of fact the entire amount ex-
pended for the extra session may be
charged to the violation of the Organic
Act relative to conducting the pro-
ceedings in the English language. In
the House more than one-half OF the
time was wasted in translation of min
utes, and speeches in Hawaiian and
the Interpretation of the remarks from
one language to the other. The fig
ures given above do not include the
charges made for typewriting the Ha-
waiian reports nor of reading proof on
Hawaiian bills. after they were print
ed. The aggregate cost of the Ha-
waiian language in the two sessions
will foot up more than one third and
nearly one half of the total cost OF the
legislation enacted at the last session.

INSANITY
EVIDENCE
Brothers Of Jones
Called With
Others.

Many witnesses were called yester-
day in the trial of e. NJ. Jones for
murder. all for the purpose OF sup
porting the defensive plea OF insanity.
Among others were the brothers of
the prisoner. Another was Capt. John
f. James. A number were fellow
workmen of Jones in different employs.
A pathetic letter by Jones to his wife,
begging her to desist from divorce pro-
published in the Advertiser when 1t
came out in the District Court as evil
dence in the assault and battery prose-
cution Of Jones some months prior to
the killing of Mrs. Parmenter and Mrs.
Jones.
There was unanimity OF belief that
Jones's mind was affected by his do
nestle troubles, taking the evidence
of the witnesses as a whole.
The prisoner is seemingly growing
more careworn day by day, while in
cessant twisting of the fingers of both
his hands together betrays a nervous
condition. At times yesterday he dis
played emotion to tears, while again
he seemed to repress an amused feel
ing with an effort
1t is not unlikely that the trial will
occupy another week.

Illegal Collection of Toll 4?

Vow that the county mind is exercised
with bridge building. let me suggest that
the Board Of Supervisors construct a
bridge over Trap Run, on the c. T and
B. pike, with a portion Of tolls illegally
collected on that road. I use the word
Illegally advisedly. for the law trans
ferring the States interest in that high
way to the county expressly provides
that no toll, in excess of the amount ne
cessary 20 keep the road in repair. shall
be collected. The minutes Of the Board
show that each year there is an excess
ranging As high as 1925, but there is no
record OF what disposition is made of
this surplus. Again the law provides
that full toll shall not be collected unless
the full distance Of five miles is kept in
repair. The distance from Berryville
10 the county line is very little if at all
over four and a half miles. In at least
one place the road is less than legal
width, and yet fun toll is charged on all
vehicles. But 70 return 20 the bridge.
In excessive cold weather the stream
becomes mass of ice and Is well nigh
impossible, and in summer, 10 those who
have sheep or lambs TO drive 10 or from
Berryville it may consume hours in
forcing them across the stream with a
chase Of a mile or two in the effort.
For these reasons we country folks de-
sire bridge and the road provide the
funds, although ii Is an illegal tax. l also
call attention TO the toll collected on the
summit Point road. Recently all roads
IN Jefferson county, W. Va, have been
declared free. SO the only gate on that
road is in this county, and only about ,.
miles Of road 10 the w. Va line. and vet
the full legal rate for five miles is col
/ lected and thus we of this county ar,
taxed TO keep in repair the portion il

The following letter explains it
self. The editor of the COURIER is
extremely sorry the error occurred,
and is glad to do anything to set
the wrong right. As Judge Rhea
confesses. it was clearly his fault.
as we submitted galley proofs of
the interview before it was printed
in the COURIER.
Bristol, Va, July 81. 1903.
MIR. DEMONSTRATION me for
asking brief space in your paper
for making correction of one
word in the interview you so kindly
requested and printed last week.
just as | was leaving Mrs. Thur
man yesterday morning at the
house of her friend, Mrs. Snyder.
near Berryville, she suggested that
there was an error i'm one of the
paragraphs in regardto the proper
ty not being given up. | told her
she was mistaken, and felt so sure
of it, ! did not get a paper to as
certain. However. after leaving
Berryville on the train. | read the
paragraph alluded to by Mrs. Thur
man, and found she was correct.
The paragraph as printed last week
read as-fallows: Nearly all the
balance was spent by her i'm buying
china ware. silver ware and other
articles in trying 70 bcautify their
home, and in buying such clothes
aS she needed, making them her
self with some hired help. and
Thurman now refuses her any of
these articles" The word many
was the word used. or intended to
be used, byme. However, the fault
was entirely mine as YOU gave me
the proof to read, which | did
hastily and stated il To be correct.
After the paper was published,
only read the interview hurriedly.
and still did not notice the error
until Mrs. Thurman had called my
attention to it,
At the time the interview was
given, Mrs. Thurman already had
in her possession such of her cloth
ing and some of the other articles
that Thurman was willing to con
cede tOher, and therefore the word
ANY" could not have been proper
in any sense. The letter IN" may
have been inadvertently dropped
in the writing or dictatiOn or in the
setting of the type.
At all events it was an uninten-
tiOnal injustice which | desire to
correct, not only in Justice to my
self, but in Justice to all Others
concerned.
