TURNING OUT HANDLES
Western Manufacturing Company's
Factory In Dallas Begins
Operations.

Work was begun in the factory of the
Western Handle Manufacturing Com
pany yesterday morning, with full
crew. Little progress was made dur
ing the first days work, as the machin-
cry had lain idle for a long time and
was badly out of order, so that it was
necessary to spend the greater part of
the day in repair work. The manager
says, however; that the daily
capacity, now that the machinery has
been put in good shape, will be from
80 to 40 dozen handles a day. r. E.
Ratliff, the lathe-man, is an expert at
this work, having had years of exper-
ience in his home state, Louisiana.
He says that the cutter.head lathe
which they are now using in the fac
tory, is not 80 we'll adapted to working
oak timber as the saw lathe, since the
springiness of the wood draws the
knives too deeply into It, The COM
pany will soon install a new lathe Of
the latter type, and, also add another
sanding machine. The new lathe will
be much larger than the one in use at
present, and the daily output of the
factory will be more than doubled.
Few woods are better adapted to the
manufacture of handles than oak. 1t
is so tough that ordinary usage
seldom breaks it, while its springiness
adds greatly to the ease of welding
tools fitted with handles made from it.
In view of this fact, the management
Of the new company expects large
throughout this state and
the Northwest.

ASKS WHERE
Continued from PAGE l.,


fer final action in the House today
Its provisions are the same as those
OF the ordinance now being enforced
in Honolulu by Sheriff Iaukea. Shell
don spoke In behalf of his bill, say
ing that II has luukea's approval.
Pail opposed the bill, stating that
IN the country districts Il would work
y hardship. Parents are often oblig-
ed, he said, to send their children a
distance of several miles after dark,
and If this bill becomes u law the
children will be liable to be taken up
by the police.
John Hughes also opposed the
measure. lie said Sheldon's inten-
tions We're good, but he hadn't incor-
porated his intentions in the bill.
According to this bill" he said
ANY child caught on the streets aft
or dark is liable to he taken up by
any irresponsible police ofiicer-and
we have Il good many of them. And
then the child Is liable to fine of
s.. Where is the child going to get
it?
But the worst feature OF the bill
IL the one which renders the child
liable To imprisonment for ten days.
Are we going to send the children
down to be incarcerated in the jail
along with thieves and murderers,
simply because they have been caught
on the street at night"
Sheldon replied that there IL no
necessity for that, as there is a re-
iormatory to which they can be sent.
Evening bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1895-1912, 1907-03-12

Hughes called Sheldon's attention
to the fact that the bill says i'm
prisoned." and nothing about the re-
iOrmatory.
Sheldon spoke at length In de-
Tense of his measure. lie said he did
not think that any parent had II
right to let child of school age be
on the streets or highways without
an escort.
Pail opposed the passage of the bill
measure would indicate the drying
up of the bowels of mercy In the
members of the House.
Quinn offered AN amendment to
make the curfew hour o'clock and
the place of Imprisonment the reform
school.
COrrea offered an amendment
changing Z o'clock to \ o'clock.
The amendment was seconded by
Pail.
what worried Kalama was not the
idea of Imprisonment but the 81 fine.
lie moved to amend by making the
fine 81.
Mahoe was muddled. lie said he
was In favor of the bill. but there
were so many amendments that he
was all mixed up. He wanted the
bill recommitted to the judiciary
Committee to have 1t Strengthened

The 81 amendment was lost. as

Missing Army officer Nay Be lnsa


Havana. Jan. 29.-lt was learned
here that Lieutenant Charles +. Nc
Cullough. Of the 18th cavalry. who was
reported missing had recently given
signs Of mental trouble. AS an evil
dence OF this it is recited that he paid
for room and board al one hotel, but
persisted in sleeping in another hotel.
and that he at one time asked a friend
for loan of $50. and a few minutes
later drew from his pocket a large
sum OF money. declaring he did not
know he had any money with him.
The lieutenant is said to have neg
lected to pay several bills before dis
appearing. The belief is current here
that he either committed suicide or
has gone to South America.
