SUPPORT
CRAWFORD
Chinese Would Make
Legislator Out
of Him.

The committee appointed by the Chi
nese voters of the Territory to consult
with the Republican district commit
tee concerning the formers desire to
have a representative in the next Legis-
lature, reported last evening al a meet
ing called especially to hear the result.
The report, which was read by Will
liam Kwai Fong, was very favorable to
the cause OF the Chinese. voters, and
was accepted after a lengthy discus
sion. Ng Mon War rebelled against the
idea of placing candidate in the race
during the coming campaign, claiming
that the Chinese were not prepared to
insure its nominee being elected
After it was moved and seconded
that a Chinese candidate be named.
Ng Mon War jumped to his feet and
announced himself as an aspirant for
the honor. The house then called up
on William Crawford, asking him
whether he was willing To run for the
legislature. Mr.. Crawford gave his
consent stating that. he had already.
been assured of outside support.
Thereupon ensued a. friendly debate be-.
tween the two aspirants. each modestly
claiming the other to be the better
qualified. Mon War finally put an end
to the matter by withdrawing in favor
of Crawford, who was thereupon unan-
imously endorsed as candidate for the
lower House
William Kwai Fong was also asked
TO run bur he declined
During the meeting the Republican
platform and the nominee for Con-
gress. Prince Kuhio, were heartily en-
dorsed.

Arnold Dickson Bros.

The Arnold-Dickson Brothers. fake

while conducting alleged spiritualistic
seances In house on Beretania street,
and were convicted on a charge of OBJ
tanning money under false pretences,

were caught in their little fake game
here by an Advertiser reporter and
Deputy Sheriff Chillingworth, and in
lieu of imprisonment were perpitted to
leave the city on condition that they
should not return. Their recent expert
ences in Salt Lake City are told of in
the Salt Lake Herald as ollows:
The license committee of the city
council last evening considered the peti-
ton of the Arnold-Dickson brothers to
have the license. on fortune-tellers,
spiritualists, palmists. and other takers
reduced from $500 TO $Ioo year. The
petitioners, who are Spiritualists, claim
ed they do legitimate business, and
form a branch of the National Spiritu-

stock in spiritualism. They halfway
promised the petitioners that if they
would prove to them between now and
the next meeting of the council that
communication can be had with real
alive-and-kicking ghosts. the license will
be reduced Councilman HOLIDAY said
he had been ustered out of many spfTitu-

WASHINGTON, D. C, Sept. s.
Further immigration legislation, especi-
allA the restriction thereof, has been
/ preached considerably within the last
week in connection with the Presidential
campaign Chairman Babcoek of the
Republican Congressional committee,
who came over from New York for a
day recently, sounded distress call
about the control of the next House 1t
is not believed the Republican control
of the House is at all in danger, for the
party securing the Presidency has al
ways had control of the House elected
that year, with the exception of the ex-
ceptional year of 1876 when many claim
that Tilden, not Hayes. was entitled to
the presidency. One of the reasons Mr..
Babcock gave of the necessity for Re
publican House for the first two years
of the next administration was that the
Republicans wanted to pass immigration
legislation. The belief, in well informed
quarters, is that Chairman Babcock ut
ters his plant so as to scare moneyed
men to giving. fat campaign contribu-
tions. But in other quarters the demand
for immigration legislation is voiced.
Some of the influential weellies, pub
lished in New York, join in the cry.
1t may be quite forgotten. save by
few of those Immediately interested,
after the election but because of the
vital Importance of such matters in Ha-
waii should not be overlooked.

one to the Topeka State Journal office
by six o'clock Saturday evening, May
IA, a season pass including admission
to grand stand good for the So games
to be played on Washburn field this
summer, will be issued.
Every day until the entries close, the
State Journal will print a blank form,
such as accompanies this article, the
suggestions to be written on it and
sent to the baseball editor of the To-
peka State Journal. No suggestion
viii be considered unless this blank is
used. On Monday morning, following
the close of the time set for offering
names, seven judges, whose names viii
not be announced until after the con-
test closes, will meet to determine the
winner, and will issue a season pass at
once.
The pass is worth in actual money
$3.50. Sixty-three games at 25 cents
each would cost $15.75. But the ticket
contains the grand stand privileges
also, which at Is cents for each game,
would amount to $9-45 more. So it is
1 worth while going after.
The blank which the State Journal
provides is divided by heavy black
\ line. On the upper half and on the
4 lower half of the blank, is space for
| the name and address of the sender
and A date line. After it comes to
the baseball editor, the suggestion
and the authors name will be number
ed and separated, so that the judges
will seIecta name purely on it's merits,
and not because it was offered by any
particular person. This gives every
body a chance and no opportunity for
favoritisn to creep in.
