ALFRED HENeE, OF FLoRls, IN.
DlcTED BY DAVIS COUNTY
GRAND JURY.
Defendant, Who is An. Aged Man, Is
Charged With Shooting Miss Lena
Wilkinson-said to Have Been Aim
Ing at Mischievous Boys.


fred Benge, of Floris, is charged in an
ty grand jury with assault with intent
to inflict great bodily injury upon the
person of Miss Lena Wilkinson. Ac-
cording to the allegations made in the
bill, the assault was committed on the
evening of October 80, 1903, and Miss
Wilkinson AYERS that she received
painful wounds as the result of being
shot at by Mr.. Benge when passing
his house on that occasion.
Mr.. Benge appeared in district court
yesterday afternoon and entered plea
of not guilty to the charge as made in
the indictment. 1t seems that num-
Der of young boys in the neighborhood
where Mr.. Benge lives we're in the ha-
bit of annoying him and that on the ev-
ening referred to in the indictment
several youngsters had been throwing
stones against the old mans house. Fl
nally, becoming thoroughly eXasperat-
ed, he seized shot gun and rushing
out of the house, discharged the weap-
on. Miss Wilkinson. with some friends
CHANGED to be passing the Benge resi-
dence just at this time and received
several pellets in her face and body,
numerous ugly wounds being inflicted.
The boys meanwhile escaped the
wrath of Mr.. Benge.
Miss Wilkinson's wounds were not
serious and she has practically recov-
cred from their effects but she feels
that she should have redress for the
inconvenience they caused and an in
dictment has been found charging Mr..
Benge as above stated. Yesterday af
ternoon, after pleading not guilty to
the charge, the defendant furnished
satisfactory bond for his appearance
for trial at the next term of district
court.

WILL ABANDON
THE SERVICE
togo KISEN KAISHA FINDS 1T
WHILE WAR IS IN PROGRESS.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 3.-With
the sailing of the America Maru on the
| 18th inst, the Togo Kisen Kaisha will
abandon its steamship service between
this port and the Orient until the close
of the war between Japan and Russia.
This information was given out offiCi-
ally yesterday by General Agent W. II.
Avery. The present voyage of the
America Maru has proved a somewhat
Expensive, but satisfying, experiment.
The japanese authorities, so the story
goes. became fired with a desire to re-
establish japanese commerce with
foreign ports after Russia's Asiatic
fleet was put where it could not offer
serious menace to commerce. SO the
4 America Maru was put back into the
service. 1t is said that this was done
against the protest Of General Agent
/ W. II. Avery. However this may be-
| the ship arrived here some days ago,
and her departure was fixed for the
! 18th inst. Up to the present time
| however, the company has been unable
to secure freight nor passengers for her
return voyage, and according to pre-
sent indications, she will not carry a
pound of freight nor a single passen-
ger. She will leave here in ballast
and with her departure the service will
be abandoned. General Agent Avery
says that the officials of the
company in Japan win understand
something they have not understood
before, which is that a vessel cannot
be operated under a belligerent flag
with war rates at 45 per cent.
There was a story current in COM
mercial circles yesterday that the
Southern Pacific in combination with
the Pacific Mail and the Occidental
and Oriental steamship Company,
were freezing out the Togo Kisen
| Kaisha, taking advantage Of existing
circumstances to deny it place for
its lone steamer i'm the joint sailing
schedule of the older companies. This
is emphaticapy denied by General
Agent Avery, who says that the COM
pany will resume its service between
this port and the Orient when circum-
stances enable it to handle business
without restriction. This will not be
until the close of the war. At the close
of the war, he promises, the Togo
Kisen Kaisha win again have n fleet
of ships in the service and he says
| they viii either come here under the
old tripartite arrangement or will be
operated independently He explains
| that the only way the company could
maintain its service during the con-
| tinuance of the war would be by char
| tering and operating foreign vessels
and his efforts to secure vessels suit
able to the Pacific service have proved
unavaillng.
It is announced that the company
will continue to maintain its present
offices in this city, but with greatly
reduced office force. 1t is understood
! that General Agent Avery may be
transferred temporarily to Yokohama,

During the life of our late lamented
County Government, DR.. G.. y. Cooper.
the erstwhile president Of the Board Of
Health was quoted as stating that T.

called his attention to the fact that his
statement and the facts of the case
were total strangers, and asked him
either to correct that statement or to
state 1t over his own signature( SANDER
is no crime in Hawaii, and thus Civ
ing me an opportunity by means of a
libel suit to determine the truth or
falsity of his assertion. The aforesaid
official did neither-he didn't even an
swer my letter calling attention to his
mis-statement.
As your paper in it's duty of reporting
the news contained a report of Dr..
Cooper's mis-statement of fact, l de-
sire you to give space to the following
correspondence which is self explana-
tory.

Hon. Lorrin Andrews, Attorney General
Territory Of Hawaii
Sir: The statement has been made
by an ex-officill of the Board of Health
that my license to practice medicine is
null and void. Coming as it does from
an official source it is liable to do me
injury and that the matter may be
settled ] request you to examine my
professional status and report to me the
result of your examination.
Yours with the greatest respect,

May in which you request an opinion
from me as to your professional status
under the laws of the Territory of Ha-
wall, as a physician and surgeon, in
view of the controversy concerning the
same l would reply as follows:
l have carefully examined all the re-
cords in connection with your case and

practice is in full force and effect.
Yours truly,

to the Board of County Supervisors,

to understand the import of the deci-
sion of the court which adjudicated the
subject; and lacked the moral courage
to correct his error when it was shown
to him.

The Kauai trip of Governor Garter
and Secretary Atkinson ended this
morning with their return accompanied
by Land Commissioner Pratt, on the
steamer Mikahala. This is probably
the last of the island trips until the
governor ret-rns from the Chicago
convention. He will leave on the
Siberia on May 81, and will not visit
Maui until after his return.
"A very noticeable feature of the
visit TO Kauai" said Secretary Atkin-
son, was that not the slightest men
ton was made by anyone at the meet
ings held, o. the county government
proposition. We had some large meet
ings and Kauai affairs were discussed,
but strange to say no one spoke of
county government The receptions
given US were very hospitable.

RULED OUT.

After seven days Of trial the case Of
AXten VS.. Herdrick almost came to an
end with postponement to next term
this morning. The deposition of the
father Of the defendant, taken on the
mainland was offered by Attorney Rob-
ertsOn for the defense and Judge Gear
ruled it out, on objections by Stanley

certificate accompanying the deposit
ton was not in proper form, and that
the deposition could not therefore be
read to the jury.
Robertson at once moved for a post
ponement to the next term of court, i'm
order that he might have time to get
p proper deposition. He said that
the evidence contained in it was of
great Importance, Judge Gear denied
the motion and another exception was
added to the record.
