A bad NIGER"
IN THE COOLER
w. MONROE THREATENED TT Is
SAID, TO MAKE THINGS HUM, so
HIS BAIL WAS INCREASED.

1t is a bad thing to be too bad a
nigger" William Monroe is learning
this fact 1t was first brought to his
attention several days ago when he
was arrested ON a charge of adultery
with Dora Lancaster, and yesterday
it was further impressed on his mind
when L. 5. Commiss ioner George A.
Davis raised his bond from $1,000 to
$500 ON motion of L. ;. Attorney Brec-
kons. The case is one of unusual de-
pravity and has been causing no end Of
interest i'm the Eakaako slums where
Monroe appears to have been a sort
of bad man.
1t was in fact through his own fool
ishness that Monroe got into the tolls
of the Federal authorities. Dora Lam
caster is a part native woman who
was arrested ON a charge of bigamy.
For some days after she was in the
L. S. Court it was observed that a
burly negro was slOuching about the
corridors of the Judiciary building, evil
IDENTIFY having some interest i'm the case
against the woman. Inquiry was made
by the Federal authorities and they
were given information which led them
to the belief that the negro was the
consort of the woman. He was sub
poenaed as a witness and two days ago
was taken into custody on the charge of
adultery.
Monroe is understood to have made
some fierce threats about what he
would do with the Federal authorities
and especially Marshal Hendry for
causing his arrest. 1t was therefore
decided to put the "coon" under heavier
bonds. The woman was arrested We'd
nesday and is now being held under
$1,000 bond. Neither have been able to
supply the cash, so they have been

TWO NEW OCEAN GIANTS.

The Hamburg American Company
have arranged to build two interme-
diate liners of greater size than any
yet built, but considerably shorter and
of less beam than the Cunard liners
Lusitania and Mauretania. They will
be about $50 feet long between perpen-
diculars and over so feet beam, and
their gross registered tonnage will be
nearly 10000 tons while their cargo
capacity will be enormous. They will
be about 80 feet longer than the Amer
ika and the Kaiserin Auguste Victoria
completed some time ago for the same
line, and they will excel the Adriatic,
launched last week for the White Star
Company. One of the new ships will
be built by the Vulcan Company, of
Stettin, who have constructed so many
of the modern German Atlantic liners;
and the other by Messrs Harland and
