Yesterday. Even with the augmen, el

which have been working night ansl

the instruments which were sold last
Friday and Saturday. Commingling
with the draymen were the carpenters,

several of its fellow-stores in the same

MURPHY OUTW|TTtD
his PURSUERS

Private j. j. Murphy, of the local
marine contingent, is known among
his associates as a wise guy. A sam
pie OF his wisdom is told at the police
station, where the name Of Murphy
figures occasionally in the documents
on file, at the present time heading
off a notice of reward for his return
to the marine barracks. For Murphy
is deserter and has been so before.
The last time a reward for his return
was posted at the police station the
officers were anxious to see him and
to get any information regarding him,
and the clerk was delighted when he
heard the name Murphy come in
over the telephone.
rs there any reward posted for
Murphy" came the question over the
phone, to which the eager clerk gave
an affirmative answer and then began
to ask questions on his own account
But the man on the other end thanked
him and rung off without answering
anything OF the several things the
clerk wanted TO know. Then he went
to the barracks and gave himself up,
for it was Murphy himself who want
ed to know and it is one thing to
overstay leave and give yourself up
and an altogether different thing to be

DR. Leong Hoy, alias DR.. Akina. allan
DR.. Leong Kim Yong, was up for trial
yesterday morning on a charge of med
icaf malpractice, one or the worst fea-
lures of the case being an allegation that
the girl upon whom the criminal oper-
alton had been attempted was a ward
of his and had been forced into il
licit relations with him while under
his charge. The evidence of the girl
was heard yesterday 1t is expected
that there will be some sensational
evidence produced later in this trial,
a letter being alleged to be in exist
ence showing that the prisoner HAD
proposed throwing the girl into the sea
between this island and Maui as this
easiest way of settling all the troubls
of which she is the victim.

refused to do 30. Then a SINH lar applica-
ton was made to Justice Burr in Brooklyn,
and Madden was ordered to appear before

Major David Price, the Coast Artillery

Of duty due to intoxication, took the witness
stand yesterday in his W behalf. Many
of the officers who constitute the court
were called and all bore witness to his here

that he had been told by physicians who

The Major took several drinks Of the
malt. From that time to the time when
he was brought from Syracuse, he says,
he has no recollection OF what took place

because he was mentally and physically
nit for the duty. .
The Major asserted that the pledge Of
total abstinence which had been obtained
from him in 1903 by the examining board
at Fortress Monroe was illegal and had
no standing in a military court, He had
signed the pledge when under the fatigue
and worry following his return from the
Philippines to take examinations without
any preparation except what plugging
he could do on the trip back. -,
Upon his arrival the examining board
showed him a report more than two years
old which Major-Gen. Wallace f. Randolph
had sent in. II read: AT one time unsteady
in habits, but prompt to respond to advice. y
When the report was disclosed it very
naturally disturbed the Major, as a result
he signed the pledge Of total abstinence:
II was accepted, and later he was informed
that he had passed the examination. He
said that he had learned afterward that
such a pledge was unusual.
Among the officers who testified to the
Majors good standing and reputation we're
