DAVENPORT DOTS

The man LafrenZ, who INDUCED in
some dangerous gun play near Brick
Munro's pavilion Sunday night, and
whose wild aim brought death to a
horse owned by Mr.. Munro. will be
released from Jail. The man had
been drinking heavily and was on the
verge of delirium tremens when taken
to Jail. Those whom it is alleged he
assaulted and attempted to kill do not
care to prosecute him, and said that
he would probably be released. La
frenz comes from an excellent west
end family.

afternoon a well dressed and well in
toXicated stranger entered the Iowa
National bank and to Cashier Bur
meister gave his name as j. McCar-
vel. and said he was a travelling man
out of funds, but that the firm would
stand for any amount he wanted. He
was told that he must have someone
to identify and vouch for him. There
upon McCarvil said that the firm of
Washburn & Halligan would do that
for him. He then left the bank. and
shortly afterward the telephone bell
rang and the cashier answered the
summons. This is Mr.. Halligan,"
said the voice. Give Mr. McCarveI
what he wants. We are good for it."
But the banker recognized McCarvel's
Voice, and when that awkward graft
II again called at the bank an officer
Of the law was there to take him in
to custody. He was sent to jail and
spent the night i'm cell. Yesterday
McCarvel had sobered up and there
fore was let go. His silly escapade
was looked upon as the action of an
intoxicated man, and there was no
prosecution.

husbands dissipation. There was
mutual recriminatiOn and much noise
at the trial. but the assistant county
attorney quelIed it all by asking for
the limit of punishment for the wife
beaten. The police magistrate sent
Burke to Jail for 80 days.
What came within an ace of being

kicked him over the right temple, rem
dering him unconscious. The young
man was taken in charge by three
doctors, who worked over him until
Sunday night before they brought
him back to consciousness, and then

guilty to the charge. He was there

GRAVES ON THE BEACH.
Monument to Sailors Lost with the
Prince Arthur

SEATTLE, January 1.-THE commit
tee sent out by the meeting Of Norw,-
glan residents of Seattle, to go after
the bodies of the sailors who lost their
lives in the wreck of the Norwegian
bark Prince Arthur, on the Washing
ton coast, have at last been heard
from. They left Seattle Sunday night,
and did not arrive at the scene of the
wreck until yesterday. The trial is al
most impossible, and it was with great
difficulty that they reached the coast
at all.
In =. message to II. p. Rude, chair
man Of the finance committee, the
searchers report that the bodies cam
not be removed. Decomposition had set
in to such an extent that In the Opin-
ion of the Undertaken Johnson, who
accompanied the party, 1t would be inn
possible to remove them.
Seven of the bodies had been buried
by ranchers where they were found.
These will be disinterred and buried
again by the Seattle men. The mes
sage does not state whether or not
other bodies were found, but said that
all the bodies would be reburled in a
group.
AS it is impossible to carry out the
original plan and bring the dead sail
ors to Seattle for burial the Norwe-
gians of Seattle will now devote their
efforts to raising money to erect
monument to their memory, over their
graves. The names of the dead sailors
have been ascertained, and they Will
be inscribed on the stone together with
brief recital of the wreck of the bark,
so that if at any future time relatives
or friends of the dead men should visit
this country, some trace of the lost
men may be found.
Money will be sent to Carl Sunde and
the others now on the ground to carry
out the plan of reburying the sailors,
and meanwhile the members of the
finance committee in this city will raise
money to purchase a suitable monu-
ment. to be shipped to the scene of the
wreck and placed over the graves

FIVE HUNDRED
LAWS TO CHANGE
THE BAR ASSOCIATION DISCUSSES
ALTERATIONS NEEDED IN HA-
WAIIAN STATUTES.

The Association held a meeting yes
terday afternoon in the hall above
Castle & Cookies offices. for the purpose
of discussing changes needed in the
laws and to be recommended to the
legislature. Chief Justice Frear was
present and responded to requests for
information as to the work he had done
with some explanations of what is
needed. He said that there were about
500 sections of the laws of Hawaii
which should be changed. The chief
justice said that he had prepared a
number of bills and that Judge De Bolt
had also prepared some. On motion
of L. A. Thurston the chief justice was
asked to lay his bills before the asso-
citation and the chairman is to appoint
committees to take them up and make
recommendations regarding them.
On motion of p. L. Weaver a commit
tee of three was appointed to investi-
gate the subject of adopting the Tor
rens land title system. The chair ap-
pointed Weaver, Dickey and HartweH
E. S. Gill moved that a committee be
appointed to draft an act providing for
a code commission. Gill, Silliman and
Derby were appointed.
The following report was made by P.
L. weaver, as chairman of the commit
tee on a practice act:
This committee recommends that
the Bar Association takes steps:
"First-To have enacted in this Ter
ritory practice act.
''SecOnd-That in such act the dis
tinction between actions at law and
suits in equity and the forms thereof be
abolished, and one form of action and
one mode of pleading be provided for
all suits.
THAT whenever there is a conflict be-
tween the principles of law and equity,
that the principle of equity shall gov
ern.
"Third-We recommend as a basis of
consideration by this association, the
House Bill No. 49, as introduced in the
legislature of 1898, the same being COM
piled from the Field Code of New
York"
The association received a letter from
John d. willard of Kauai, stating that
he could not attend the meeting, and
offering the following suggestions:
That the organization, powers and
duties of the grand jury be definitely
settled by statute; that the fees of
grand jurors should be increased that
costs, and especially witness fees, in
equity cases should be placed on a level
with those of the circuit court; that the
witness fees in district courts be in
creased that the standard of qualifica-
tions for license to practice in the dis
trict courts be raised; that only attor-
neys at law be allowed to prosecute
criminal cases in all court s; that the
court assign attorneys to defend pauper
criminals; that the circuit judge in
chambers be given original jurisdiction
to try without a jury all cases involving
not less than 500 and not more than
$1,000; that all existing laws be cod
flied; that the Fifth Circuit court
be given four terms a year, one every
three months that this court be given
resident salaried stenographer,"

WILL GET COAL REBATES.

Collector Stackable was advised
Thursday afternoon by cable to apply
the recent rebate law on anthracite coal
and to liquidate bituminous coal free of
duty. This will affect three cargoes
brought here this month and will be
the cause of considerable saving in coal
duties to the islands. 1t would not
be surprising if an increased number of
orders for coal would be made before
the present suspension of the customs
duties is withdrawn.
