CALLSHARAHAN LIAR
Maxwell Edgar Says Fish Is
in Lead with Proxies.
ANSWERS RECENT INTERVIEW
Declares Illinois Central Heads
Claim OF Control Is Childish and
Count Was stopped at Letter "T'' in
Order that Roads President Might
Not Be Convicted of Perjury.

Chicago. Dec. 28-"Stuyvesant Fish
holds many more proxies to-day than he
had at the October meeting, and, judging
from the receipts OF new proxies and
revocations. he should have a clear ma
jority over all on March 2"
This assertion was made in statement
given out by Maxwell Edgar. for the Fish
interests to-day. in answer to recen;
interview OF President J. T. Harahan, Of
the Illinois Central Railroad
In his interview Mr. Harahan starts
the Chicago stockholders have given their
proxies TO him." said Mr. Edgar. There
are some $1,000 shares owned in Chicago.
not more than 10000 Of which will prob
ably be voted On Mr.. Harahan's state
ment, this would give only 5000 shares to
Mr.. Fish and % 000 shares TO Mr. Hara-
han.
HIS Seracity Questioned.
Unfortunately for Mr. Harahan's We
racity or lack Of it, there are ten large
stockholders in Chicago who among them
have given Mr.. Fish more than 500
votes. including the biggest Individual
block in Chicago OF $500. FOR which Mir
Fish holds the proxy. II Mr.. Fish. with
ten stockholders out Of about 100 Chicago
stockholders, holds proxies for over s,00C
shares, how can Mr.. Harahan hold 81
per cent?
This childish claim Of Mr.. Harahan
IS on par with his false and reckless az
fidavit OF October Is, in which he stated
under oath that he and those with him
would cast at the October election the
votes Of more than $4,000 shares
Count stopped nt "T.r
IF this statement had been true he
would have controlled over and above
the enjoined stock more votes than Mr..
Fish. When the votes were counted as
far as the letter "T'' It was found that
Mr.. Fish was very many thousands in
the lead. and the count was then dropped
in order that Mr. Harahan might not
be convicted of perjury"

Even Bishops make mistakes and as
a most odd mistake in the baptizing
of two members of a local family may
in after years make a serious differ
ence in matters of property and the
disposition of a fortune, the inadver-
tence of a former bishop here is sought
to be remedied at the hands of the
present Bishop.

South Seas.
BY an odd episcopal slip, sort OF a
lapsis episcopalis, Alfred baptized two
of the children of Henry Cobb Adams,
some years ago, as the children of the
second sister of Mr. Adams This must
most certainly be remedied and cor
respondence is now passing between
Mr.. Adams and the reverend doctors
of the diocese, but the mistake cannot
be remedied until the return of Bish-

called him to the Big Island. Marshal
Hendry and the secret service man
were just as communicative.
A pretty little bit of Sherlock Holmes
work on the part of one of Uncle Sans
bright agents employed to safeguard
the interests of the mails seems, from
what information could be gathered
today piecemeal from various second
hand and therefore unofficial sources,
to be deserving of record, for it APP
pears that the perpetrator of the crime
has been discovered through the slash
made in the registered mail pouch.
Had a slash been made in the pouch
and the bags containing the $4,000 in
gold coin been extracted through the
slack, the edges of the cut would have
been disturbed by the contact of the
bags in the process of being pulled
out.
AS a matter of fact, it is said, a
microscopical examination of the six
inch cut failed to show that any re-
sisting bulk had been taken from the
bag by a reaching in from the outside
of a hand and therefore the conclusion
was reached that the slash mad been
made after the coin-bags were extract
ed; therefore the bag must have been
opened to extract the coin-bags; and
therefore he who opened the register
H., OF
have had the key.
This fact in connection with certain
more or less recent occurrences in con-
nection with one who is identified with
the handling of the mail led to imme-
diate surveillance of a suspected party
and it is believed that Marshal Hendry
now carries warrant for the arrest of
the postmaster at Kamuela or at some
other office where this pouch was
handled as having knowledge of the
circumstances
The supposition is that a shortage in
accounts and a necessity of making
good led to the robbing of the register
ed mail pouch.
The shortage is said to be about 81
700; the amount taken was $4,000
1t will be remembered that the Kinau
arrived at Kawaihae last Wednesday
morning from Honolulu and Purser
Beckley got a receipt for all mails.
Mail bags were sorted at Kawaihae
and a portion including the registered
pouch which was slashed, was sent on
to Kamuela.
Koki, the Kamuela postmaster, re.
ported the coin bags missing from the
registered mail bag on arrival there
and announced that the pouch had been
slashed.
It was presumed that the robbery
had occurred sometime between the
mail leaving Kawaihae and arriving at
Kamuela.

WOMAN PLEADS Guilty.

Rosa de Coito this morning withdrew
her plea Of not guilty of the charge OF
bigamy. and before the United States
District Court substituted a plea OF
guilty in both indictments. Sentence
was postponed until January End, The
trial of the case was set for today,
when the plea was changed on advice
of her counsel. T. M. Harrison.
The accused claimed in pleading
guilty, that she was not knowingly a
bigamist, but that she had believed
that she had been divorced. having
gotten that impression from some
trouble she had had in the District
Court The woman is said to have
three living husbands, and to have
shaken them all when caught up by
the rigorous Edmunds Act and to have
been living with still a fourth man
with whom she had not taken the
trouble of going through a marriage
ceremony.
