WROTE ABUSIVE ARTICLES

BERLIN. April Is. = Normann Schu.
mann, the famous author. who has been
in exile in Switzerland for several years
past, has received permission to return
to Germany. A few years ago Schu-
mann published a series of scurrilous
attacks on Emperor William. When
asked for an explanation. he declared
that the late Count Won Waldersee had
inspired the articles for the purpose OF
intrigue.
Schumann fed from Germany 10 es-

pardon, following Count Won Valdez
sees death, is taken by many as a
confirmation that the late field marshal
had. as Schumann asserted. inspired the
publication of the articles.

ANNUAL LEAVE Of
PER DIEM MEN
Is District Government ViO-
lating Law?
THE TERMS OF THE STATUTE
Question Causing Much Comment, and
Doubt Is Raised on Former In
depreciation of Act.
THE TERMS OF THE STATUTE

Are the terms and provisions of an act
of Congress being systematically dis
regarded by the District government,
resulting in the violation of a law?
This is question which IS causing
much comment at the District Building.
where regret is expressed at the failure
of Congress to grant thirty days annual
leave without the loss of pay to the per
diem employees of the District govern
ment who are above the grade of skilled
laborers.
The act of Congress. made a law in
1885. relating TO leave for per diem en-
plOyes, is as follows:
The Commissioners of the District Of
Columbia are authorized hereafter, in
their discretion. to grant leave Of alb
sence not to exceed thirty days to any
individual in any fiscal year. to regular
employees not to exceed thirty annually.
appointed directly by the Commission
ers and paid out of general appropria-
tons, and whose service is continuous.
but who receive per diem compensa-
ton"
Interpretation of Law.
District Commissioners Charles F.
Powell and George Truesdell, imme-
diately after the passage of the act
quoted, decided that the power to grant
thirty days leave to not mere than
thirty men also gave them the right to
multiply thirty days by thirty men, MAX
ing 500 days of leave, which they could
distribute among the per diem employees
as they saw fit
This has been the rule since 1895. and
Il Is now the custom, as 125 per diem
men Will this year receive from one
70 nine days leave, the 800 days being
divided among them according to the
recommendations of Charles Shoemaker
a clerk in the Engineer Department and
w. +. Meyers. assistant secretary to
the Board Of Commissioners, who make
up the committee intrusted with the
duty OF deciding who gets nine days or
one days leave.
Applies Piecemeal.
The argument advanced is: How can
the Commissioners refuse TO grant thir-
~ days leave to thirty men, when the
act of 1885 expressly says that the thir-
~ men are the greatest number that
can set the leave under any circurn-
stances? II is claimed that the Com
missiOners have no right TO distort the
terms of the act so that they will an
ply IN piecemeal to whatsoever men they
may select.
Tne act says, "to regular employees not
10 exceed thirty days annually" The
commissioners have been saving that

ALEXANDRIA. Va, April 2S.-The
Hon. James X. Cation, for two years
past Alexandria's delegate in the gener-
al assembly. is the choice of a great ma
jority of the people of Fairfax and
Alexandria, where he has spent his life.
as the Democratic nominee for lieuten-
ant governor Of Virginia.
It has been thought that the candi-
dacy OF the Hon Joseph L. willard for
the gubernatorfal nomination, in which
he is unanimously supported by his
neighbors and friends Of this section Of
the country, conflicts with Mr.. Cation 5
aspirations Politicians in this neigh
borhood say, however, that there is at
present no conflict in the matter, and
that this neighborhood may express its

which they seek. without bringing them

ROBERTSON TRIES AGAIN.

Chairman Robertson made reference
to martyred Presidents by saying,
"Out of the woods came the rail-split~
ter, and from the canals came the
canal-boat driver. Both these occupa-
tions were once said to be unfit for a
man who would be President. Events
in history have proven to the contrary.
Out of the wilds of Kakaako comes
now Lilikalani, the former adviser OF
King Kalakaua, and he has now come
out from the seclusion Of private life
to public life again.
Mr. Lilikalani was introduced. He
made an address in Hawaiian teeming
with illusions which put the crowd in
a good hurnor.
KALEIOPU TALKS RACE.
The chairman introduced Mr.. Kalei-
opu as man belonging to the ire
viled hula-hula ticket and he asked
the orchestra to play hula. This was
done and at its conclusion Mr.. Kaleio-
pu then spoke in part as follows:
: although we have not had any leg
islative experience, We are probably
better posted and better fitted for leg
islative duties than nine-tenths of the
former legislators. You must leave
racial issues at home. The work of
proving our capabilities for self-gov-
eminent is hard one. Remarks have
been passed concerning our ticket by
some of our papers, and especially by
our morning friends. They say in that
paper that we are incompetent and
incapable Fear has been lowering over
that paper, for they fear we will turn
over to the Home Rulers. Why, that
is a shame to us. The Hawaiians of
this new generation have learned, and
believe in the truth of the doctrines
laid down by the Republican party.
We do admit that the task of making

DOWSETTDS COMMON SENSE.
| ]. M Dowsett was the next speaker.
As he was introduced he received an
| ovation, especially when he made his
opening remarks in Hawaiian. The
remainder of his address was in Eng
lish, the Interpretation being made by
d. Kalauokalani, Jr. He said, in part:
with the price of sugar at 4 1-2c
cents, the Republican party in power,
l would like to know what more a citi-
zen with all his senses, with every cent
invested here, could ask for. A per-
son not acquainted with our condi-
lions here would ask, what has the
one to do with the other? There is not
man, woman or child in this Terri
tory, that does not know that one goes
hand in hand with the other. We all
know that sugar is the backbone of
these islands, and that it has been
built up under the protectionist policy
of the Republican party. Remove the
duty now imposed in America on SUI
gar and the price of sugar would be
reduced about one-third, and what
would be the result in our Territory?
The worst that could happen. There
isn't a man, woman or chlld mere tnat
doesn't depend directly or indirectly
upon the sugar industry. IF it was not
for our sugar, we would just as we'll
close our stores, factories, stop the
railroads, sell our steamers, and we
would have nothing left but poi and
fish.
1.-The prosperity of these islands for
the past % years has been the result
of the Republican policy toward u.s.
What would be the result If the Demo
cratic party got in power at the COM
ing election? It would come to the
question vital to US, the tariff. We
don't want to- see free trade in this
Territory, and if there is any reform
in the tariff to be made let it be made
by the Republican party. This will
be the issue between the two parties
on the mainland. 1t applies also TO
this Territory.
Coming back to local issues, the Re
publican party adopted "a platform in
Hilo which is being distributed to you
in the Hawaiian language. 1t can be

There is one plank IN that which is one
of the main issues of this campaign.
That is for county government. Every
candidate is pledged to carry out the
provisions of that plank / wish to

has been severely criticised. has UNDER

are reaping some of the benefits 1t

gress, where you have to depend upon

work is therefore only half done II
sent back this term he can complete his
work. He deserves a second trial In
sending Kuhfo back to Washington ne
must go there with the sincere backing
of the Republican party. What work
is to be done by organizations outside
the Republican party should be done
through our Delegate. Those who are
sent to do work independent of Ku-
hio will he scorned. They must be
taught to do work with and through
him, or they may not succeed
ADVERTISER IS SERENADED.
Before William Aylett, who had beer
introduced, could speak. the chairman
remarked: For the benefit of the
friends of the Advertiser, If there are
more than two or three here, the or
chestra will give us a little more hula

was hidden. Mr.. Aylett then made a
forceful speech in Hawaiian.

Sol. Mahelona then entered the arena
and paid his compliments to the Adver-
tiser. Bear in mind said he, the
day will come when the 'hula-hula

the victory. The Fifth District men

STREET CAR JUMPS THE
TRACK, STRIKING HOUSE
WITH TERRIFIC FORCE
Remarkable Early Morning Acct
dent on South West Street
Line-None Seriously Hurt.
ELEVEN PEOPLE IN HOUSE
Mother So Badly Frightened She
Did Not Know How Many
Children She Had.

While running at a terrific rate of speed
car No. 27S, on the South West-street line,
jumped the track at the corner of West
and Morris streets at l2:15 O'Clock this
morning. crashed into house occupied by
Franklin p Spaw and family. knocking
the house from its foundation and frighten-
ing the members of the household to the
verge of nervous prostration.
Neither Conductor Willis Kilburn, 3015
West Michigan street nor Motorman
Michael Lenihan, 4O7 Agnes street, was
hurt.
There were no passengers on the car and
the motorman was endeavoring to make up
lost time. There is sharp curve at
the corner of West and Morris streets, and
the dismantled house is located at the
angle of this curve. A small piece of board
by some means had become fixed across one
of the rails and when the rapidly moving
street car struck this it left the track with
a bound, leaping, as if possessed of life,
clear over the sidewalk, striking the front
of the house squarely. Glass and splinters
flew in all directions and the motorman and
conductor were thrown to the floor OF the
car with great force, but aside from slight
bruises were unhurt.
Eleven persons occupy the house that
was struck-Mr and Mrs. Spaw eight
children, ranging in age from two to sew
enteen years, and Mrs. Spaw's mother,
Mrs Eliza Sluder, aged seventy-four.
When the car struck the house all of the
family had retired. but when they were
awakened by the shock it was found that
every one of them had been thrown out of
bed and a rain of SCOT from diSjointed
stovepipes and overturned stoves was fall
ing all about them.
To make matters worse, the front door
could not be opened on account of the car.
and pandemonium reigned within until some
one ran around to the rear and told Mr..
Spaw what had happened.
When his wife was questioned as to the
number of the family, she was so over
come with fright that she had to call her
daughter to assist her in determining
whether there were eight children or seven
Within few minutes after the accident
a wreck car came and pulled the battered
No. 27S back on the track 1t was found
that the front end of the car was badly
splintered and crushed and the controller
and the motors were more or less disar-
ranged.
