became known this morning. and through

The general drift OF sentiment appeared

would lead to a thorough and far-reaching
investigation of the police department.
and that even more startling revelations

came out of the commissioners Office

A representative of the News asked him
II there were any new developments and

said: II have nothing to say"

Chief Matthews went into the commis-
sioners' Office while Mr. Cristy was pres
ent. From his manner al the time he had
not been summoned. and he did not re-
main long, evidently not caring to breathe
the same atmosphere as his accuser

"On police buslness?" was the sharp
query.

talked this morning IL was learned that
he was very indignant after reading I'm

statements made by Mr. Nash in Hart

saying:

clared that most. II not all or Mr.. Cristy's

and that In order to insure the appearance

Sugar To Be

UNITED STATES PURE FOOD COM
MISSION TO REFORM THE SU-
GAR REFINING BUSINESS.

NEW YORK, October 2.-Unless the
United States Pure Food Commission
changes its mind the people of the
United states will soon be using gram
ulated and other sugars that have a
distinctly yellowish tinge. The Com
mission has decreed that no mineral
bluing substance be used in bleaching
sugars. Sugar chemists say they use
four pounds Of a mineral bluing sub
stance to every one million pounds Of
sugar for bleaching purposes. This,
the sugar chemists say is not adul-
teration; that it is merely publication
by thoroughly healthful process. The
Pure Food Commission cannot see it
in that light, and insists that the whit
ening process be abandoned.

DIVORCE CONGRESS
GOVERNOR CARTER ASKS THEO-
DORE RICHARDS TO BE THE
TERRITORY'S DELEGATE.

Governor Carter has written to Theo-
dore Richards, who is in New York in
asking him to represent Hawaii at the
National Divorce Congress, which is
soon to meet in Philadelphia, to dis
cuss divorce laws and try to have Con-
gress pass uniform laws for the whole
country. The governor has received an
invitation for Hawaii to have repre-
sentation in the congress and as Rich
ards is near the scene, has asked him
to take the matter up.
81 have given assurance that Hawaii
will be i'm line with such assistance as
she may be able to give towards secur-
ing uniform divorce laws said the
governor. There does not seem to be
any room for discussion as to the ad-
visibility of such uniformity. 1t is not
to be expected of course that the Con-
gress will take any radical action, and
We shall undoubtedly be in sympathy
with what it does"

HAWAII MAY
HAVE A DELEGATE
NO ONE FOUND FOR MIS-
SIssIPPI CONGRESS BUT POSI-
BLY, AN ATCHESON MAN.

A letter has been sent by Governor
Carter to the Trans Mississippi Con-
gress, expressing regrets that there
appears to be no person available to
represent Hawaii at the Congress, but
at the same time expressing Hawairs
sympathy with the objects of the gath
ering. 1t is possible, however that
George p. Howe, formerly of Honolulu
and now resident of Atcheson, Kan
sas, may undertake to represent the
Territory, the governor having written
to him inviting him to do so. Howe
was a local newspaperman about a
year ago and is a son of the owner of
the Atcheson Globe, with which paper
he is now connected.
Il am sorry that it appeared that we
could not be represented" said the
governor, for the Trans Mississippi
Congress is composed of men who un-
derstand something of Hawaii. The
delegates are men of the West, who
appreciate the prospect of growth of
Pacific commerce. They know how
large a proportion of the worlds popu-
lhtion is fed by Pacific ocean commerce
as compared to the Atlantic and know
that when Atlantic ports have reached
their full growth the ports of the Pa
cific coast will be but beginning their
development.
Moreover the Congress is one that
has always shown sympathy with us.
In the days of annexation discussion,
it was one of the first bodies to take
up Hawaii and assist us"
