frequently happened here that mem
bers of Congress have been put under
arrest.
Holding such an opinion the Delegate
naturally believed that a great injus
tice was being done him by the police
men, who took him away, to the frs
precinct police station. He proclaim
ed to the officers that an outrage was
being done him and the long and the
short of it was that he practically in
sisted on remaining in cell all OF
Monday night If he had been willing
to deposit collateral this could have
4 been forfeited in court the next morn
! ing and nothing further would have
been heard of the case.
| Instead of that the Delegate insisted
on lighting the case through the courts.
| The District Attorney is willing to
nolle pros. the case and finally Dele
! gate Kuhio has consented to that but
Policeman Garrison, who made the ar
rest, is holding out for trial as per-
sonal vindication of himself.
However little the Delegate deserv-
ed the notoriety to which he has been
subjected, the incident Isl generally re-
gretted here. 1t was unfortunate in
more ways than one
Mr.. A. C. Gehr, of Honolulu, who has
been here several weeks looking after
his fight on the Kohala Fitch case, has
gone west again. He has seen Secre-
tary Hitchcock but states that there
is nothing new to be said except that
the fight is progressing. He will stay
a week in Chicago and then make
hurried trip to Honolulu, expecting to
return here in about so days. His inter-
ests are left IN the hands of Ex-senator
Thurston and others during his absence.
Mr.. Charles Clark, of Honolulu, who
came here a few weeks ago to look aft
er interests of Hilo and other Hawaiian
matters, is back from a prolonged trip
to New York and is at the National
Hotel. He expects to remain here for
some time. ERNEST G.. WALKER.
ANOTHER PRESS STORY.
Prince Cupid, the Hawaiian Delegate
to Congress, obtained second post
ponement today of his trial on the
charge of fighting on Monday night in
front of a we'll known cafe in Thir
teenth Street. His companion in trou-
Bile, Fred Clarke, was on hand and ex-
planned that the prince had matters of
to attend to at the Capitol, |
and the case was continued until next |
Tuesday.
It was learned that an effort has been |
made by the prince to settle the case
out of court, but such action is hardly |
probable. James L. Pugh, Assistant |
Counsel, is said to be will |
ing to nol-pros the case, and Police
man Wolfe, who assisted in the ar
rest, is also willing. Policeman CARR
son, who saw the mix-up and made |
the arrest, said this morning he would
exercise his right and force the case to
trial.
Policeman Garrison said that when
arrested the prince, whose given name
IS Jonah Kuhio Kalanianaole, kicked up
a general row, asserted that as dele
gate in Congress he could not be ar
rested, and INDUCED in language which
would vex the most phlegmatic man on
the force. For that reason the police
man is determined to bring the case to
trial and see whether or not Ha-
waiian prince has the right to do any
hing he p1easesi in Washington with
'ut fear of arrest-washingto Times.
