DUAL CONSCIOUSNESS.
Marvellous Story of Man Who Lost His
Identity,

Colorado Springs.-Back Of a suit
which his attorneys announce Frank
Hughes of this city will file against
the Colorado Midland Company for
500 900 damages is a remarkable story
of how a Colorado Springs mining man
has regained consciousness of his own
personal identity after having served
eighteen months in the Pueblo insane
asylum and subsequently serving IL
sentence in the penitentiary for IA
crime committed while the man had
no idea who he was, or of his past life.
Hughes was injured in a Colorado
Midland wreck near Cascade on June
20. 1902, and from the moment he
experienced the shock Of the concus.
sion he did not have the remotest idea
of who he was and where he was or
what he was doing until an abScess on
the brain broke last Christmas and he
found himself in the Colorado state
penitentiary. He was kept in ignor-
ance by the physicians for one month
of his being a feon and was led to
think he was in a Colorado Springs
hospital.
Hughes has just returned TO this city
in an effort to find his wife and
daughter. He thinks that they have
left the country, believing that he will
fully deserted them over two yeal s
ago. At the time of the railroad accl-
dent Hughes owned extensive Cripple
Creek mining property worth 100000,
and he has just discovered that while
he was incarcerated the properties
have been disposed of by unknown par
ties.

afternoon, established a new record
between this city and the Japanese

ten hours and twenty-eight minutes.
The best previous time between this
port and Yokohama was made by the
Korea, 4. sister ship of the Siberia, In
ten days, eleven hours and five min
utes. Miss Roosevelt and the Harrl-
man party were hurried across the bay
and left at once for the East by special
train. Miss Roosevelt denied that She
had received expensive presents while
in the Orient and said that she had
done none of the remarkable things
credited to her by yellow journals.

YOUNG PRINCES
FROM THE CAROLINES
i. AND II. NANPEI ARRIVE BY
THE SIBERIA TO ATTEND
SCHOOL AT KAMEHAMEHA.

Il. Nanpei and H. Nanpei who arrived
here by the Siberia, are the sons OF a
chief Of that name In the Caroline ISL
ands, whom James Wilder, who visit
ed the group in December 1897, says is
the finest and most influential native
I'm that group. A son Of this chief
was student at Kamehameha a few
years ago.
Or. w. ID. Alexander knows King
Nanuel--as the old chief of Ponope is
called, and considers him very re-
markabe man. He has been in Ho-
nolulu once or twice and DR.. AleXan-
der met him then. besides having re-
ceived number Of letters from him.
During the Spanish ownership Of the
Caroline Islands Nanpel was very bad
ly treated by the Spanish governors
and was kept In prison for a long time,
ostensibly on political charge, but as
is generally believed on account Of his
religious views and his attitude Of
welcome and help toward the Protes-
tant missionaries Representations were
made IN his behalf to the United States
and eventually he was freed, and al
lowed to return to his own people. At
the time Of the Spanish war he urged
the United States government to send
a man-of-war and take the Carolines,
but this was not done, and Immediately
after the war, Germany bought the
group from Spain. Bismarck seized
the group once years before In the
course OF a diplomatic contest with
Spain but as the controversy was sub
mitted to the arbitration OF the Pope
and the Pope decided It I'm favor Of
Spain, Germany did not hold the ISL
ands long at that time.
Whether the United States failed
to take the Caroline Islands because 1t
was known that Germany wanted them
and so your Uncle Sam did not care to
displease a friendly power at critical
time, or not is not known. Those who
know the group say they are better
than Guam and that Kusai is a far
better harbor than any harbor at
Guam.
Principal Horne remembers the young
chief Nanpei, who was a pupil at Ka-
mehameha three or four years ago.
After leaving the school he Travelled
for a while In the states and then re-
turned to his home In the Caroline ISL

THE WAY TO SIDETRACK JURORS
How THE PROSECUTION GOT RID OF THREE ADVANCE
WANT NAoNE MURDER TRIAG.-BoYD. NOR
AND PRENDEAGAsT SAVED FROM RISK OF SERVING

There were three witnesses present
at the circuit court this morning at the
trial Of Naone for murder who were
thoroughly surprised at receiving sub
Doenas to appear All three claim to
know absolutely nothing about the
case and all three happen to be on the
panel Of Jurors for the present term.
They are Edmund $. Norrie, James II.
Boyd and John X. Prendergast. They
were In court this morning both as
jurors and witnesses. but the trial
did not begin.
The summoning of the three is said
to have been nice little scheme to get
them off the eligible jury list. The
prosecution is not pleased somehow or
other when it sees either Norrie,
Boyd or Prendergast on any Of it's
juries. In fact it has been the custom

The Bertleman trial continued this
morning in Judge Dole's court before
jury. Mrs. Orth was on the stand
again, under ross-eXamination as to
the statements made by Bertelman,
when he is alleged to have falsely re-
presented that he was an officer Of the
internal revenue department.
Collector Chamberlain was also call
ed as witness. He stated that Ber-
telman was not an employe Of the re-
venue department, either now or at
the time, last December, when he Is
alleged to have claimed to be. Ber-
telman had at one time been employed
by him, said Chamberlain. This was
for about three months IN 1901.
The case will probably go to the jury
this afternoon.

lately to challenge them all. But the
Naone case is one Of murder I'm the
first degree and is to be fought to a
finish, with J. j. Dunno as counsel for
defendant and the prosecution didn't
like the prospect Of having to use up
any of its peremptory challenges need
lessly. This is said TO be the reason
why Norrie, Boyd and Prendergast re-
ceived subpoenas to appear as witness
es In the case. Having been summon
ed as witnesses they dre not eligible to
serve on the jury.
All the three declare that they know
nothing about the case and that their
being subpoenaed is a new scheme OF
the Attorney General to save chal-
lenges. Andrews is not saying any
thing about 1.-THE subjoenas are there
and the trial will develop why.

The fact that Sir Henry Tichbome is
a passenger on the Siberia now i'm port
recalls the celebrated Tichborne case
which concerned the succession to the
title which he bears. The Baronetcy
was created in 1920, and the Sir Henry
who is in Honolulu today is the twelfth
who has borne the title, and succeeded
his father at his birth May 26, 1866. He
married a great granddaughter of the
Ninth Baron Petre, and he owns about
1000 acres of land.
The Tichborne case was one Of the
most celebrated cases that ever was
tried in a court of law. The father Of
the present Baronet mysteriously dis
appeared or was lost on an ocean voy-
age. Later there turned up to claim
the title and the property, a man from
Australia, whom It was subsequently
shown was a butcher named Arthur
Orton. He resembled SO completely the
