KNOX GETS

Escapes Conviction by
a Bit of Sheer
Luck.

vote for the Civic Federation God
Forbid" exclaimed cullud Colonel w.
H. Knox, of the Fighting Seventh,
yesterday. 1t was not a political meet
ing which the dusky Republican SPELL
er was addressing. The remark was
intended to impress upon Judge Whit
ney the good character of the speaker
and prove the folly of charging him
with threatening to kill Gabriel Davien
after Gabriel had ordered him off his
gallant Colonels too marked atten-
lions to his daughter.
He is a liar to the teeth" again
broke out the Colonel, although he
acknowledged up to the time of the
falling out he had been very intimate
with the complainant, during those
times when the complainant was not
doing time
Aea, who has managed the Davien
household since the wife ran away,
denied that she drank wine all the
time. II only drink it when I csn
get it, she declared.
The case was one where Davien
claimed to be in terror of his life un-
til he reached the stand, when he
boastingly testified that he wasn't
afraid. That cleared Knox. "You'se
CANT put me in JAIL" said Knox. Use
got political business to attend to on
November g.
DO you intend to vote the Civic
Federation ticket?' asked a lawyer.
God Forbid" said the Colonel, with
a scandalized look.
The comedy concluded then, and
Judge Whitney introduced bit of
melodrama by telling Knox that he
was one of the most contemplate crea-
lures in town, and if he ever got him
where the evidence of his tampering
with little girls was straight he would
send him where his interest in politics
would lapse for a long time.
Knox walked out to resume his role
in the Brown campaign.

THE STRANGE STORY OF A
KIDNAPPED NATIVE WOMAN

! ter days of her stay there he failed
! to come and she almost starved
A childhood friend of hers, happen
ing to go through the yard, saw her
and took pity on her and took her
to her own house on Young street.
She is a natural daughter of John
Cummins who had been paying money
for her support in Japan. When her
mother died, so suddenly, he was call
ed and took charge of her funeral and
learned for the first time that she was
in this country. He sent many mes
sages and messengers to her, but was
utterly unable to get communication
with her. He pitied her living in that
hunted condition and used every pos
sible endeavor to reach her without
avail.
Solomon Hiram had gone away with
the Hawaiian band and had left writ
ten instructions with those in charge
of her (Which she afterwards saw.
When she came out of her conceal
ment on the 18th of October she con
scented to have him come and see her,
which he did, and provided her with
the necessaries of life. He had taken
her child to his house at the time of
the grandmother s sudden death The
child was not supposed to know she
was her mother although frequently
at the grandmother s house when away
from the school, and of course saw
her.
Mrs Crowell found that all of her
mother S clothing had been taken so
that she was both without food and
clothing.
She made a power of attorney to
j. A. Cummins on giving him full
power over her property. He, being
advised, made trust deed to w o.
Smith, knowing that it required a
stronger man than himself to collect
and care for her property. w. o..
Smith, thinking it would be advisable
to have the husband join in the deed
delayed putting the power of attorney
and deed on record. The following
week more of her friends gathered
around b->r and persuaded her to make
power Of attorney to R. W. Breckons
The following day she made another to
Cummins revoking the one to Mr.
Breckons. The day after that she was
arrested by the President of the Board
of Health and taken to the Kalihi Re
ceiving Station. Here she was kept
two nights and released and immedi- |
ately made another power of attorney
to Mr.. Breckons She is now STAYING
with friends in Pauoa
There is no doubt of it that the
sudden death of her mother and her
long cOncealment should he examined
into by the present grand jury.

Mrs. Flora K. Crowell, native
months by Board of Health officers, was
apprehended and conveyed to the Ka-
lihi Receiving Station. 1t is not the
long pursuit of her, though, which is
of particular interest, for in that re-
gard her case is but one of many
old stories and some of them tragic.
There is a tragedy, too, in Mrs. Gro
we'll IS narrative.
Since the woman has come into Gus
tody of the Health authorities she has
given information to the effect that
she had been kept a prisoner.
She was the daughter of Hattie X.
Hiram who died Nov. ), 1905, and was
married in 1900 to Clement c.. Gro
well at which time daughter was
born. Six months afterwards she was
arrested as a leper suspect and taken
to Kalihi Receiving Station. She was
permitted to reside outside while re
ceiving treatment. Her mother then
sent her to Japan, in company with
another leper suspect for msdicad
treatment
Owing to some irregularity in re
ceiving the money sent for her main
tenance there she returned to Honolulu
within nine months. On arriving here
she went to her mothers house on
Beretania street where she has been
faithfully concealed from 1900 to the
date of her mother s death, her pres
ence being known to no one but her
mother, a woman named Keluia, and
George Kaia. on the date when her
mother was alleged to be sick she
heard loud language and thinking all
was not right presented herself. Her
mother s brother, Solomon Hiram was
there wrangling and was as much sur
prised as any one at her putting in
an appearance. He, together with
Keluia and George Kaia, took hold of
her and forced her into a cottage in
the yard and locked her up. The fol-
lowing day, and while her mother was
still alive they took her off to George
kaia s house on Young street.
From there she was taken 10 a place
up in kalihi valley where she lived
when they took her to a small grass
house above Punchbowl. on the way
to Tantaius. She escaped from there
and got back to her own house on
Beretania street, where she has lived
in seclusion, no one knowing of her
whereabouts except an old man who
brought her food. During the two lat

The law as now operated under de-

Section 49, The following expenses,
and no other, may be legally incurred

And doubled up each turn they made,
And gained each time the horn they blew,

But he couldn't make the levers heed;
Each thing he pulled made the wheels 60 round

Gossip and Matters Of Interest
in Railroad Circles.

New York, Jan. 30.-"This country
today is like a boy who has inherited a
big fortune and is living on it without
earning anything himself said James
J. Hill, who returned from the west
yesterday. 1T is all very well to talk
about our great prosperity. but we are
spending what has been earned. not
what we are earning now. We are US
ing up our capital and have become an
extravagant nation
Mr. Hill would not admit that the
country was tending toward overproduc-
ton, because, as he said, if he did peo-
pie would call him scroaker. The
consular and other reports show" he
said, that Japan is sending US more
than we are sending to Japan and it
behooves US to be watchful for our
position among the commercial nations
During the last few years things have
been stirred up on account of the Boer
and RussO-JapaneS wars so that with
the existing close relation among the
nations it has been difficult to get a
true perspective in commercial and in
dustrial matters. But now we can look
around and appreciate our true posi-
ton. Look at Great Britain with a mill
lion men out of work. Great Britain is
a country with balance of trade
against it and we should take warning.
There are not many more new contin-
ents or lands to open up.
Mr.. Hill was asked about his connec-
tion with "Fads and Fancies, to which
he was said to have subscribed, and said
he believed he had received some such
book and had sent it to. a historical so
ciety-
Mr.. Hill denied that the Burlington
had acquired the Chicago Terminal and
Transfer railroad and he said nothing
about Mr.. Harriman's reported pur-
chase of the Pacific Coast company. He
would welcome the Union Pacific if the
latter builds to Seattle. At present the
Hill roads are the only roads entering
Seattle.

ROCK ISLAND BoYooT1ED.
Mail Clerks Are Indignant Because
Cars Are Not Turned.


Cars Are Not Turned.
Kansas City. Jan. so.@The Rock Is
land is cutting down its operating ex-
penses and to that end it was ordered
several months ago that mail cars need
not be turned at the end Of a trip so
the compartment end of the car should
be always next to the engine This is
a courtesy shown the railway mail
clerks, and as they work in the other
end Of the car it serves as a protec-
ton to them in case of a head-on col
lision- The refusal of this company to
turn its cars when needed, and which
the clerks say is done by every other
road running out of Kansas City, has
raised their ire, and in the SSming
quadrennial Weighing of mails the Rock
Island will be boycotted.
How much the boycott will mean to
the Rock Island in a monetary way is,
OF course, matter of conjecture, but
the clerks affirm that the sum total
which the road win lose as a result of
its refusal to take this safeguard for
their lives viii be much more than the
cost of turning the cars. The estimated
cost of turning a car is about 50 cents,
and when the clerks appealed to The
Rock Island management they were
told that it was an unnecessary eX-
pense
The storage compartment of the mail
car is about twenty feet long, and in it
are kept the full and empty pouches
not in use. When this end is not placed
next to the engine tender the protection
to the clerks in case of a head-end col
lission is practically nil. With it so
placed, however, it serves as. a buffer,
and even if the front end of the car is
crushed the three men employed therein
may not be injured.
The mail clerks feel that the railroad
is unnecessarily jeopardizing their lives
when it runs the mail cars with the
working end toward the engine. The
refusal on the part of the Rock Island
was taken up with the postoffice de-
partment some time ago, but no action
