THOUGHT WITNESS
HAD BEEN FIXED
JUDGE WHITNEY DID NOT APP
PROVE OF THE CONDUCT OF A
CHE FLA EXPERT YESTERDAY.

There was an exciting time in the
police court yesterday afternoon Dep
uty County Attorney Rex Hitchcock
said that he did not like the way that
a newly found Chinese expert on che-fa
acted and the court expressed it as his
opinion that the witness had been fixed
and that the matter should be investi-
gated. The case was that Of Chu Ping,
charged with maintaining and conduct
ing lottery.
There had been a delay owing to the
prosecution being unable to secure an
expert witness Finally Hitchcock Sc
cured an antiquated looking Chinese
named Chu zee who admitted having a
knowledge of che-fa. Chu explained
that he'knew how to run a bank ac-
cording to the old method and would
testify, but there might be some diff
Guilty if the defendant We're charged
with trying some new game. Chu was
satisfactory to Hitchcock, but when the
Chinese gave testimony he seemed to
back and fill and was far from being
the satisfactory witness that the prose-
cution had anticipated.
the court strongly implying that the
witness had been fixed. Before this
case came to trial" said Hitchcock, Il
talked with this witness about the tes-
timony and he was all right then, but
since he had gone on the stand he has
suddenly developed an unexpected an
tagonism to the prosecution. | do not
understand it, but l think it looks fun
ny, and 1 ask that the cases go over
until tomorrow"
The court expressed the same opinion
and said in fact that the condition
about the che-fa cases was rotten and
expressed the belief that the witness
had been fixed
c. F. Chillingworth, who was defend
ing the case, said that he certainly
cOurted an investigation. Hitchcock
stated that he desired to insinuate
nothing against Chillingworth, for he
was satisfied that Chillingworth was
not concerned in the supposed fixing OF
the witness. Chillingworth asked thai
the case go to trial at once, but the
court granted the continuance where.
upon Chillingworth moved for a dis
missal which the court overruled Tn,
case will come up again this afternoon

ON HAWAII
JAPANESE WHO IS ALLEGED TO
HAVE HAD A WELL HIDDEN
STILL.

The strong smell made by fermenting
ii root helped very greatly in the dis
covery of an okolehao still on Hawaii,
on account of which Deputy Marshal
Winter and Deputy Internal Revenue
Collector Drake this morning brought
a Japanese named Mura from Hawaii,
on a charge of distilling alcoholic liquor
without complying with federal regua-
tions. The still was found in the noun
tains above Hookena, after A hard
search amid binding rain, and a
large demijohn of it was brought here
as evidence, together with "A bag full Of
ii root in process of distillation.
The still was hidden in a district in
which the brush is almost impenetra-
BILE, and after a night search the fed
eral officers We're compelled to abandon
the hunt. This was not until they had
practically located it, however, and the
next day they went after it and seized
the apparatus. 1t was so cleverly con-
cealed that even after okolehao had
been found and the Jap arrested there
was much time consumed i'm fndiiNS
the machinery and the barrels of fer
ment Lauhala was growing above ana
around the barrels.
"They could conceal it all right" said
Drake but they couldn't keep in the
SMELL"
The smell distributed about the in
ternal revenue office this morning by
the fermenting ii root made this ex-
PLANTATION unnecessary. The bags ar
rived early and Collector Chamberlain
knew when he was some feet away
from his office on arriving, that some
thing had happened.
The okolehao seized is So proof, and
is apparently pure ii root product, di-
luted with water. 1t will be held for
evidence, but the ii root still warm in
the process Of fermenting, will be de-
stroyed, as it is too strong in smell to
be a nice thing to have in the store

j P, COOKE AND
WHITE SETTLERS
HAWAIIAN COMMERCIAL HAS NOT
YET DECIDED WHAT ANSWER IT
WILL GIVE TO COMMISSIONERS.

Just what the Hawaiian Commercial
is going to do regarding encouragement
to white settlers has not yet been COM
municated to the immigration Commits
sioners," said j. p. Cooke of Alexander
& Baldwin this morning. 81 think that
the whole matter will be threshed out
within ten days and then of course it
will be public property. In the mem
time it would hardly be courteous to
the commission to say anything for
publication before the report is sub
mitted to them.
LAS regards the decision of Cover
nor Carter regarding the loan appro-
priations," he replied, in aswer to a
question as to how Maui was affected
Il can only answer i'm a negative way

told me, i'm so many words, that he had
not yet decided as to the Maui appro-
priations. In this connection however
l may say that l presented the Cover
nor with a petition signed by some
fifty or more residents of Makawao,
Maui, asking that the appropriation Of
$500 for court house at Paia be i'm
mediately applied. The governor pro-
missed the matter his consideration

THE haunted HOUSE

family-do laundry work. Among their
customers are the Parkers, the Princess
Kawananakoa, and quite number of
the well known families along Emma
street. Since the fateful apparition APP
peared, they have, occupied the house
during the daytime, doing their house
hold work and their washing there.
But when the shades of evening draw
close, nothing can persuade them to
go inside the house, alone, or to re-
main more than a few minutes even in
company with others.
Early last evening a hack drove up
to the house 1442 Emma street and two
men, whom the hackman said came
from the Hawaiian Hotel got out and
asked to be allowed to go in the house
and into the room where the ghost was
seen. Mr.. Camara took them in and
showed them the room, but he says
they began TO open trunks and bureau
drawers, and to examine the dresses
and other articles that had been sent
there to be Numbered, and he began to
suspect them of designs on the property
there. One of the men, he says, dis
played a very large bunch of keys.
Finally one of the men asked if they
could not come up later and he and
Camara would sleep in the room and
welcome the apparition If it came again
But Camara replied that he would not
sleep in the house for a thousand dol
lars. The suspicious of the family had
been so aroused that they refused to
give the stranger permission to come
and sleep in the house, and they even
went so far as to take out all of the
valuable garments which had been
sent them to be Numbered.
A little later in the evening a son
of the woman who formerly owned the
house, and who the apparitiOn is des-
cribed as resembling, came to the
house and asked permission to go up
stairs. He said he wanted to speak
to his mother and tell her not to come
back anymore as she had the other
morning, as she was not wanted,
His request was likewise not granted
as the family doubted his ability to
communicate so readily with the spirit
of his mother, whatever other spirits
he might be familiar with.

The family slept last night in the
home of their neighbOr Mr.. Mays and
will do so again tonight II ough they
are looking for another house. They
say they do not like to leave the neigh
borhood as all their customers live not
lar away
1t seems now that the apparition APP
peared between four and five o'clock
Monday morning, while it was not UNI
til Tuesday evening that Alfred Moss
man was told about it, and heard the
several descriptions of those who had
seen subscriptions which seemed by
their consistency to give strong proof
of their being like Pinkham's machine,
uninvented But SO much time had
elapsed between the event and the des-
cription of it, that it can be readily UNI
derstood how, unconsciously, the sew
eral descriptions might have reached
uniformity and the particular descrip-
ton be the result Of suggestions from
those to whom they were tryin gto des-
cribe their first impressions

CLAYTON BOND
 MEETS REJECTION.
Both Branches of Legislature Open Weeks Work by Get ting Busy Senate to
 Enjoy Apples.

Little Rock, Jan. 30. Both branches of the general assembly convened this morning and im- mediately got down to hard work.
 In the senate several bills were introduced while in the house a few were offered and many measures considered. In the senate the feature of the morning session was the rejec- tion of a bill, introduced by re- quest, to authorize the payment of a $1,OOO bond of the state, dated 1870.
 The question was raised that the bond was signed by Powell Clayton and that it did not have the recommendation of the debt board of the state. After being read for the first time it was re- jected upon a good majority.
 Senator Logan of Benton pre- sented the upper branch of the legislature with four bushels of Jonathan apples this morning, and a recess was taken in order that the members might better enjoy the fruit.
 In the house the bill of Sena- tor Toney to provide for an as- sistant journal clerk and also a clerk for the judiciary committee was called up, but after much discussion placed back on it's sec ond reading for the purpose of amendment. Several members of the lower body opposed the employment of a clerk for the judiciary committee, but admit ted that an assistant journal clerk was necessary.

 He has associated with him MT. s. R. Hudson, for many years popular druggist of this city and a man of broad ac- quaintance and fine reputation as pharmacist. Both Messrs. Hudson and Jacocks are regis tered pharmacists. and all pre- scriptions will have their careful attention. The new firm, we feel sure, will enjoy their part of the business of our growing city and it's fine tributary territory.

PARKS MISTAKEN
 ABOUT THE DATE
Cause of Delay of Arkansas Elector in Reaching Nation al Capital Had Gone
 Back Home.

Have Tillman Parks come on immediately with returns was the second telegram received by Secretary of State O. c. Ludwig from Senator Fry, president of the United States senate, Satur- day, says the Little Rock Demo- crat.
 Parks is the messenger elected on January 9 by the Democratic electors of Arkansas for the pur- pose of carrying the vote of the state to Washington, and the law required that he should have delivered it by January 23. Some one without fear of lese majeste suggested that it was probably a scheme of Gov. Jeff Davis to make the election void so that he could appoint sue cessor to Roosevelt.
 MT. Parks was located at his home in Lewisville, Lafayette county Saturday evening and explained that the delay was due to the fact that he under stood that February 8 was the day for the counting of the vote, and it was not necessary for him to reach Washington with it be- fore that time. Advised other wise, he left Saturday night for Washington ana will deliver the vote t, President Frye immediate ly upon his arrival. It is not be- lieved any further complications will result.

STATE SETTINGS.

Peaches are still safe" is being heralded among the lovers of this luscious fruit, from the or chards of northwestern Arkan- sas, big factor in the supply of the peach market. The very fact that we have suffered such extremely cold weather for this southern cline has made the buds unusually backward and with the ground filled with frost it will require much warm weather to start the buds to swelling and thus lay them open to the dangers of late frosts and freezes.
 Discussing the cotton situation the other day a we'll known Lit tie Rock banker stated that there would be no need of the Arkan- sas farmer sending his cotton outside of the state in order to receive advances on it. His own bank, he said, would be glad to loan $25 per bale on cotton and see that the cotton is stored and taken care of in first class style.
 The antitrust law of this state is receiving much attention from outside sources as to it's effect upon the old-line fire insurance companies and what their with drawal would mean to the busi- ness interests of the state. But they have not withdrawn and it now seems uncertain whether or not they will until the recent enactment has been tested in the courts. Very few of the non-union companies can qualify under the Logan law, as most of these have general agents who are members of boards in some state or other. The Hartford, one of the biggest of the old companies, denies that it has concluded to stay, and on the other hand the North British and Mercantile deny that they have pulled out. A number of plans for meeting the bill are un- der consideration, but there seems to be no unity of action so far. The suggestion is made at Chicago to fight it's enforcement by securing an injunction until it can be tested in the higher courts. The attorney general will be asked to suspend the pen alties. Another plan is to organ ize local companies to write the business and divide the risks as reinsurance. If no agreement is reached to withdraw entirely as an object lesson to the public, the companies may write in the state from St. Louis and Mem phis on an underground arrange ment. The most generally fa- vored plan is to withdraw and bring the business men of Ar kansas to a realization of their mistake and a consequent repeal of the law.
