lar expenses and the $to0 the Clark
excursion would have cost her, as the
action was based on contract. But as
no legal contract had been proven the
suit was dismissed.
Mrs Cooper insists that the action is
not brought for the purpose OF testing
the rights of colored people in con-
troversy, but insists that the pTinci-
pals involved apply 10 all persons COM

Through her attorneys she will con-

cisiOn was reached in the first instance.
Mrs. Cooper contends that Mr.. Clark is
guilty of q breach OF contract. and

terday morning. He is said to be
somewhat "lolo'-weak. Recently he
had been drinking. Spots like blood.
stains have been discovered on his
clothing.
County Sheriff Brown and Detective
Doyle went to the scene of the trag.
edy this morning. They arrived at
Haleiwa shortly after noon. At once
the Sheriff went to the Waialua court
house, where were gathered a humble,
CT persons ready to tell what littl,
they knew of the horrible crime OF
events leading up to 1t. But few
minutes were spent at the court house
when the whole party went to the spot
where the body was found In the cane
field.
Work Of a Fiend.
The little three.year.old son OF
Henry Wharton Of Waialua was fiend.
ishly murdered some time yesterday
in a cane field near his home. The
body was dismembered Of its head. feet
and hands. Further than this the
body had been horribly disemboweled
and the intestines taken away. The
child's name was Seaman Wharton. A
man named johnson. q laborer, was
arrested on suspicion last night. He
denes any guilt and the authorities are
still looking for others who may have
had something to do with the crime.
Sheriff Brown, accompanied by De
tectlve Chester Doyle. left for Waialua
on the 9:i5 train this morning.
The youngster was missed by his
mother yesterday morning and after
search lasting almost the entire day
the mutilated remains we're found in
q cane field not a great distance away
from the Wharton home. II was at
first thought that the child had wan.
dered away from the house and been
lost.
Henry Wharton, the murdered child's
father, was In Honolulu last night
when he learned of the tragedy. TAX
ing a small coffin with him he left late
last night in an automobile for hir

Shortly after the body was found
Deputy Sheriff Cox Of Walalua organ.
ICED a posse and began a systematic
search for the guilty person. A cor
oners jury was also summoned. Ths
remains were viewed and the jury post
poned the inquest until this morning
The man johnson taken into custody
last evening has been living at tho
Wharton home some time. He has
been befriended by his employer for the
cast several years. He is said to be an
illiterate man and had lately been
drinking.
Several theories as to the motive OF
the crime are advanced. One idea
brought out Is that the terrible deed

HIS ROWING NEEDLE.

Denver, Dec. 10.-Since running a
large needle In the big toe OF his right
foot. Bert Clark OF 1916 South Fiji.
teenth street, has been suffering in.
tensely and is in a dangerous condi-
ton because the needle is working up
ward In his leg. 1t has reached the
large part OF the calf Repeated efforts
to remove the broken needle proved
futile and the aid OF surgeons was
called. The toe was operated upon, but
the needle could not be located and
X-Rays were used. Several times the
surgeons thought they had the neddle
located and cut into the foot and leg.
but the needle had moved and further
use OF the X-Ray was necessary each
time.
II seems that by the time the sur.
geons take a picture of the needle
through the X-Ray and have the neg
alive developed. the needle moves up
ward and cannot be found by the
use OF the knife. Repeated operations
have been made upon Clark's leg and
foot and more are contemplated, but
the needle is rowing rapidly toward
the heart. III the needle cannot be re.
moved Clark's life will be In great
danger when II gets near the heart
or works into some delicate organ OF
the body.
