IMMEDIATE STEPS TAKEN.
Sanitary Conditions at Temporary Po-
lice Court Building to Be Improved.

The matter of the insanitary condition of
the cellar of the Police Court building on
18th street northwest, was again under con-
sideration this morning, and a result of
the steps taken by the authorities relief now
seems to be In sight. Active operations
were begun this afternoon by the District
health department looking toward the re-
laying of the sewer leading from the build
ing, so that the cellar will be kept dry
When the officers came to the Pslice Court
this morning they found that the cellar was
covered with about foot of water. The
water was by no means clean. There were
pieces Of wood, waste paper and general
dirt floating around on the surface of the
water, and the odor was not at all pleasant
When this condition was discovered by
James Hughes. the janitor Of the building,
he determined at once to notify the health
authorities. and he did so as early as they
reached the office. An inspector was at
once sent to the building in response 1t
took only one look on his part to determine
that something must be wrong. The report
was made and this afternoon excavations
were begun.

KUMAL AE
FOR JAIL
Enoch johnson Also
Must Don the
Stripes.

Enoch Johnson and Jonah Kumalae
must each serve his sentence of one
years imprisonment at hard labor for
conspiracy in the first degree. Their
conviction was based on evidence that
they conspired to commit the offense
of gross cheat. which offense in their
case consisted in unlawfully obtaining
money out of the expense fund of the
House of Representatives at the legis-
lative session of 1908
Their appeal having failed in the Su-
preme Court as made known yesterday
morning, Johnson and Kumalae We're
taken into custody in the afternoon
and incarcerated in Oahu prison.
A unanimous opinion of the Supreme
Court. written by Chief Justice Frear,
overrules twenty-five exceptions John
son and Kumalae's counsel took from
their conviction. The opinion decides
that the Hawaiian law providing for
more than one session of the Circuit
Court of the First Circuit at the same
time is not in conflict with the Organic f,
Act. For the rest it sustains the
judge. excepting in one or two in
stances of harmless error, as to the
composition of the grand and trial
juries, admissibility of evidence, etc. |
Lorrin Andrews, Attorney General, and |
w. S. Fleming. Assistant Attorney
General represented the Territory, and |

the defendants. The case is set out in |
the following opening words of the |
opinion:
THE defendants We're jointly indict- !
ed for conspiracy in substance as fol- !
lows: That Kumalae. member of the
House of Representatives and chair
man of a special committee on the Chi /
nese fund, and Johnson, an attorney,
conspired to defraud the Territory by
falsely representing to the standing
committee on accounts that Johnson
had been engaged as clerk of said spe-
cial committee and had performed GER
tain services for it and rendered a legal
opinion to it, and that by reason there
of there was due him from the Terri
tory s31250. and that through false
representations so made they procured
an approval of the bill and a warrant
for the payment thereof and afterward
obtained payment thereof from the
Territory. The defendants were found
guilty of conspiracy in the first degree
and now bring the case here on TWEEN
ty-five exceptions
Judge De Bolt tried the case and
upon the verdict of the jury sentenced
each of the defendants to be imprison-

CUNNING IN THOROUGHFARE NECK.
Closes Saturday After Lively Hunt On the
Part of Our Local SpOrtsmeI-Trapping
Holds Full Sway At TayIOrs Bridge.

THOROUGHFARE NECK, Jan. 3:-The
last three days of the cunning season
was an active one in ThorOughfare
Neck and spOrtsmen were out in force
and were successful in bagging consid-
erable game. Owing to the snow on
the ground which has prevailed for
several weeks, an unusual case for the
month of December, gunners were pro-
hlblted by law from killing game while
snow was o. the ground, and the last
three days was me inst time in
month or more that gunners could
have unlimited sway. The trapping
season has also been considerably
broken up by severe weather condl-
tons but Notwithstanding the inter
ference, muskrats and other fur bearing
animals have been caught in consider
able quantities. Mr.. William McClain
who is considered one of the best trap
pers IN this vicinity has been very for
tunate this season in catching valuable
furs. Recently he caught very fine
otter in one of his traps. Not even the
crafty Reynard, with all his reputation
for wisdom. wariness and knowledge
OF the hunters traps. is able to escape
the well known Taylor's Bridge trap
per, and a fine red fox skin was added
to his collection of furs last week
Clarence Sweatman, another we'll
known trapper of this vicinity made
another big record last Wednesday
when he caught IN one day over 80
muskrats. This has been reached on
only one other day this season. The
first day the law was out he trapped 81
rats. These fur bearing rodents are
not as numerous this season as last al
though they are said to be plentiful
below the bridge. Above the bridge,
however there are scarcely any
Marshes that produced over 10000 rats
last year are almost devoid of the ro
dents this year. The trapping seasUr
will not end until spring and the catcE
may be heavier at the latter purt of th,
season than at the beginning. Th,
cunning season which has drawn to
close has been a very quiet one and n,
big bags of game are reported. Bird
have been very scarce and unless tn
country is restocked there is littl
probability that game will ever b.
plentiful in three parts. Rabbits hav
been quite numerous and have afforded
some excellent sport.

THRILLING EXPERIENCE OF MISS WHARTON
Dover Young Woman Goes Home Sunday
Morning To Find Burglar 10 the House.

Miss Mary Wharton was the heroine
of a decidedly thrilling experience
Sunday night last. She is one of Do
ver's best known young women and
had gone home alone, Just before her
father, ex-Sheriff John B. Wharton
and her mother were expected tc ar
rive. The section of North State
street where the Wharton residence is
situated, is not at all lonely, the resi-
dents going and coming until a late
hour, and young women have had little
fear in going about the neighborhood.
Miss Wharton entered the house and
as a measure of security, carefully
locked the door. Hardly had the lock
securely clicked than she turned
around and confronted a burly negro
burglar. "You black whelp," shrieked
Miss Wharton, ''ay or I'll kill you. "
The man darted through a window
without even waiting to raise it and
soon the whole neighborhood was
aroused and on the hunt. A trail of
burned matches showed that the fell
low had broken in and made a visit to
the we'll stocked pantry. A search is
being made for the robber and he will
be severely dealt with if captured.

OLD SMYRNA BASKET MILL
ASSUMING DEFINITE SHAPE
MAcHINlSTS AND CARPENTERS GETTING
PLANT READY FOR AN EARLY START.
Annual Stockholders Meeting Next Tuesday
Promises to be an Interesting Cne-May
Add Butter Plate Machinlry Later.

The opening of the old Tschudv &
Cats mill property and the repairs
going on at the direction of the
Smyrna Il Kent County Manufacturing
Co who recently bought the property
and will revive 1t, has given an added
interest to this old industry. 1t
looked quite active around there the
past week to see the large plant
thrown open, men working on the
roof, carpenters placing in new
windows and erecting sheds around
the plant. There was an air of
business thrift about it that gave
evidence of better times for the future.
George w. Taylor our machinist and
plumber, is finishing the repairs to
the boiler and engine and the carpenter
work is well under way by Warner &
Blair. When the roofing and wood
work is completed, the building will
be frightened and refreshened by a
coat of paint. Since his election to
the presidency of the Company, Mr..
j. +. Carter has taken an active in
terest IN the plant and the directors
feel that they have chosen the right
man for the right place. Recently
Mr.. Carter took trip to the southern
part OF the Peninsula to visit some OF
the thriving basket and butter plate
manufactures of that section. He
returned very much impressed with
the needs of the plant in Smyrna and
sees no reason why bright future does
not await our home industry. He was
particularly impressed with the butter
plate business and thinks it will make
a valuable addition to the basket mill
The manufacture of butter plates car
begin after the basket and crate season
Is over and can keep the factory busy
during the winter months. Presiden
Carter and the directors have al
invitation to visit the new factory a
Rldgely, Md. Just what plans will b,
made regarding the butter plate bust
ness will not be definitely considered
until after the annual meeting of tn,
stockholders and the election O.
directors next Tuesday. At this meet
ing it may be decided to issue new
stock as much depends on the state o.
finances as to whether new departures
will be made In equipping the mill
One thing sure and that Is the baske
and crate mill will be started up il
the early spring and if butter plate
depPtment is to be added it will no
be until next fall. There seems to b,
plenty of raw material in this vicinit,
ana every day or so the Compan,
receive offers from someone who il
anxious to dispose of their timber
The Company already has in hand
number of applications for employ
ment.

Some OF Local Concerns Gathered From

The cold snap which came to a sud

thick as did also John c. Blizzard,
Esley NJ. Rust and Walter F. Keith
