Grand Avenue hotel this morning in
the presence of crowd. including

At the outset of the fraCaS Jenkins

him fiat on his back, but Murray's gun
cowed him. Much foul language passed
between them. and both Cochrane and
Murray We're arrested and released

The trouble grew out of heavy fines
imposed by Judge Cochrane on Jen-
kins for whipping a negro. Jenkins
has been preparing evidence to submit
to the grand jury, on which he hoped
to have the judge indicted for public
drunkenness. Cochrane's charges to
grand juries on violations of the tenn

suit of the death of Mrs. M. G. Johnson

acid was found on her when she was
taken from the car. but her husband

MAUNA LOA'S FIERCE LIGHT
Fine Print Can Be Read by It IS Miles
OH-Rotary Earthquake Shocks.

HONOLULU, Feb. 4.-The volcano
of Mauna Loa, on the island of Hawaii,
continues in a state of violent eruption.
The light from the flames ascending
from the crater is so intense that it is
possible to read fine print by it at a
distance of thirteen miles.
The flow of lava that followed the
beginning of the eruption is now sub
siding, but the other streams are more
active. The source of the new flow is
10000 feet below the summit of the
mountain, whence it proceeds in a
southwesterly direction to the sea. One
rushing stream of lava has severed all
communication by land between Kau
and Kona. 1t is twenty five feet in
depth.
One stream that is flowing to the
north is becoming wider. Many of the
cones are spouting boulders. There
have been continuous shocks for four
days at the Montserrat ranch Of suf-
s"snnt intensity to throw down stone
fences.

AGAINST USE OF AN|uNEs
Southern Sugar Refineries Seek to
Pass Law Preventing Sugar
Bleaching.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Feb. A.
Southern sugar refiners are very de-
sirous of having the department of
agriculture make a ruling as to the
manufacture of sugars under the new
pure food law, and a delega ton is in
the city for that purpose. For a hum
dred years it has been the practice to
bleach sugar with bluing. Years ago
indigo was used to give the sugar
brilliancy, but of recent years aniline
dyes have been employed. Another
method of refining sugar is by the use
of sulphur fumes. 1t is said that un-
der the pure food law, unless the de-
partment of agriculture makes a ruling
to the contrary. the use Of aniline dyes
and sulphur fumes will both be pro-
hibited and probably the use of indigo
so that the refiners will have to return
to primitive methods. In fact it is
said by the sugar refners that there
is a chance that white sugar will be
eliminated altogether. The refiners ana
producers of sugar want ruling be-
fore the appropriation is made for en-
forcing the law.

The chinook wind which visited this

the chinook dropped the prairie was

ANY OLD WIFE WILL DO.
Prince Of Bulgaria is Getting Really
Worried,

PARIS, Feb. 4-"Will no Princess
marry me-" This is the pathetic APP
peal of Prince Ferdinand, elected ruler
of Bulgaria, who has been eight years
widower, but cannot find wife to re-
place the late Princess Marie Louise.
In his fruitless search for a wife
the prince has been refused by every
royal lady whose hand he sought.
among them being Russian grand
duchesses. Austrian archduchesses,
the German princesses.
The prince is a handsome and gal
liant man of forty five. but there seems
to be a mysterious something in him
which arouses a strange antipathy in
every woman he meets. This has ma
turally formed bar to his marrying
again.
Although Prince Ferdinand at first
desired a wife of wealth and influence.
his sad experience has made him now
willing to marry any suitable princess
who will have him. He even asked
King Edward for Princess Victoria of
England, who is nearly forty and in
poor health, but was told that she had
no present intention of marrying.
