may be clearly understood It will be
necessary for me to confess that the
sea story has grown from recital to re-
cital. To be candid. 1t has progressed
from the collision of an Ohio river tow
boat with'a bridge pier to the highly
dramatic account of an Ill omened YES
sci which set sail on Feb. ID without a
rat In the hold and the water in the

the constant action of the steam siphon.
Every one will understand that this
deft perversion OF facts had as its only
object the entertainment Of others. My

ruined or the pingpong balls lost, but

Desperate Fight in Congress Over
the Passage of the Hepburn
Deliver Bill

CSpecfal Telegram to Evening Teller)
WASHINGTON, D. c.. March q
Before the judiciary committee of the
house today public hearings were be-
gun on the Hepburn Doliyer bill
which seeks to change the interstate
commerce law SO that all intoxicating
liquors shipped from outside states
may be subject 10 the laws of the state
to which they are shipped or through
which they may pass The measure,
in effect. is intended to aid local option
and prevent any city or county subject
to that law from receiving intoxicants
of any kind or character, in broken or
1nbroken packages, from outside Sec
lions.
Ever since the measure was framed
the liquor interests and their organized
opponents have been glrding for. the
fray and the liveliest contest of the
kind that congress has witnessed since
the anti-canteen legislation is expected
to take place. The hearings begun to-
day will probably continue until the
end of the week. Thousands of me-
MORALS, protests and petitions. includ-
ing several hundred from Texas and as
many from Iowa, have been, received
by the judiciary committee. Petitions
requesting the apssage of the bill have
been received from countless church
organizations and temperance societies,
while an almost equal number of pro-
tests against the measure have been
received from various parts of the
country and particularly from the
German American element.

the next moment we were in total dark

and with noiseless step crossed the hall
obliquely until my hand encountered
the rough stone mantel. Then, stoop-
ing down, I advanced the muzzle of the
revolver into the yawning fireplace and
pulled the trigger five times in rapid
succession, secure in the thought that
no harm could follow such an action.
The flash of each discharge was COM
pletely hidden and the reports strange
ly muffied, but the Hnearthly yells
which burst from the chimney could
have been heard for mile. A rapidly
moving body hurled itself into my
arms and bore me to the floor. The
lights came on. and the members
rushed in, with frightened faces.

WATER FRANCHISE
HAS NEW PHASES

Not only has the sale of the Kohala
water franchise been postponed, but a
new condition has been inserted in the
notice. The sale is now announced to
take place on Friday, the 26th inst 1t
is stipulated, as an additional condi-
ton to those originally made, that the
successful bidder furnish a bond that
the required work within stated pc
RODS shall be performed in due time.
This is to prevent the liability of
speculative purchase OF the franchise.
Two ditch companies have articles Of
association filed in the Office of the
Treasurer-the ''Hamakua" and the
..I>ohala "-naming Identical incorpora-
tors, viz: John Hind, j. T. McCrosson,
F. Wundenberg, j. S. Low and j. <.
Clark. Smith & Lewis are solicitors
for both companies. Probably only one
of them will bid for the Kohala fran
chise. Whether or not the Hawaii
Ditch Co, whose claim of a settled
right TO the franchise A. C. Gehr went
to Washington to uphold, will show up
at the sale is a problem in the mean
time
