TROOPS WITHDRAW SOON.

Cincinnati, o., April 28.-That the
United States government will with
draw from the temporary control OF
Cuba a great deal earlier than has
been supposed by many was mani
tested in an interview by Secretary
Of War Taft yesterday.
Chiefly referring to that country
and his recent visit there, the secre-
tary said that the Cuban settlement
had proved so unexpectedly satisfac-
tory, and that Governor Magoon has
so completely succeedef in winning
the confidence of all parties there,
that he feels the United States can
withdraw from Cuba and give IT'S REQ
pie an opportunity for self govern
ment not later than the coming Sep
TENDER. Secretary Taft said that
while the Cuban parties had not
agreed among themselves. still they
had agreed with him, and thus the
coming evacuation of the island by
the American troops Is a matter Of
calendar calculations.
Secretary Taft also said that he ex-
poets to sail for the Philippines Sert.
/ next, and will be absent about
eighty days on the trip. This state
ment Is taken to mean that he dis
missed, the suggestion that he cancel
the Philippine engagement so that he
could devote mis- time to conditions In
Ohio.

President Roosevelt reads greater
number of daily newspapers at pres

before. If anything, he scans their
news pages with more avidity than
their editorial pages. The old GUS

merely such articles as in the judy
ment of the clipper the president may
desire to read has been abolished, at

Close elections ore not uncommon
IN any representative government, but
It is not often that one constituency
is so closely divided fol" SO long q
time as the parliamentary division of
North Tyrone, in Ireland. In the last
five elections, beginning with that in
1892, the total number of votes cast
has varied less than 400. The largest
majority at any election was 81, says
Youths Companion. Once 1t was SIS
and once 40. Nine was the majority
of the Liberal candidate in 1906, and
seven of his successor at the by.
election in March of this year.

GAMBLING CASES
ARE DISMISSED

Fourteen alleged gamblers were dis
charged by Judge Whitney yesterday
in the police court, these cases being
the first lost by the police department
for a considerable time. Five of those
arrested had been brought from Ma
unakea street restaurant, but it was
decided that the fact that they had
been caught picking up money off a
table, on, which were dice, was not
evidence that any gambling had been
going on. There was not sufficient evil
dence, either, against the nine boys
from Kalihi to establish the existence
of a crap game.
Chong Yam Yong, who is accused of
having supplied Frank Peterson with
15-cent bottle of wine, while Frank
is on the tabu list, had his case set
over until the 14th. A. G. NJ. Robert
son is defending him.
T. Beisselier got sixty days as a vag,
and J. B. Cornwell, a soldier from Fort
Shafter, will work out four dollar
drunk fine.

GOOD WORK BY
LAKE AND POLICE
Antoine Rodrigues Jr. Convicted
of Stealing a Cow
Last April.

a jury in Judge Lindsay IS court yes
terday after celebrating fifty minutes,
brought in verdict of guilty of lar
ceny in the second degree against An
tone Rodrigues Jr., charged, together
with John Silva, with stealing a cow
last April, and selling her to the
slaughterhouse.
This case is one that has followed
a large number of complaints of cattle
stealing carried on in Kalihi and Pa
lama, and the gathering of the evil
denee in this case was the highly
ereditable work of Harry T. Lake,
criminologist for the county attorney.
According to the testimony, the
father of Rodrigues has a pasture in
Kalihi valley where he pastures cattle
of his own, also cattle of others, for
hire. Among the cattle pastured there
for hire was red cow owned by Frank
Mascute and a brindle steer owned by
Antoine Da Costa. This particular case
concerns only the red cow. This ami
NAL, according to the testimony, was
lassoed in the pasture on the night of
April 80, 1907, by the two boys, Antoine
Rodrigues Jr. and John Silva, and was
led down the valley for some distance
and hidden in the brush. The next
morning early the two boys took her
to the slaughterhouse and sold her for
thirty dollars.
On the trial yesterday John Silva
pleaded guilty and was used as wit
ness against Rodrigues. Both win be
sentenced on Saturday.
County Attorney Cathcart and De-
tective Lake and the police have had
an unusual and highly creditable per-
centage of convictions at this term of
court There have been very few ac-
quittals and large number of those in
dicted have pleaded guilty.

TESTIMONY IN
kEKAUOHA CASE
Question of Mormon Privilege"
Has Not Yet Been
Reached.

The supposed F1Mormon' case in the
United States District Court, which is
attracting so much attention, dragged
itself along yesterday. The testimony
is nearly all by witnesses who do not
speak English, SO that Interpretation
is required which makes progress slow
In addition Judge Perry, who is con-
ducting the defense, makes very care
full and somewhat protraeted cross-ex-
animation of the witnesses.
Lei Aloha Papa, rather comely Ha-
waiian woman, occupied the stand a
great part of yesterday. She is a niece
of Kekauoha's wife, and testified to
having seen defendant and the para
mour Amia in criminal association. She
seems to have been for time a sort
of spy in the interest of the injured
wife, her aunt, and she testified that
the defendant and his paramour met
by appointment in the lantana brush at
times, remaining there all night.
The testimony which is expected to
raise the question of the privileged
character of proceedings in the Mormon
church has not yet been reached, al
though it may be today.

An Economical Widow.

JANEsvILLE, Wis, May 26.-Economy is a
marked characteristic of Mrs. August Kramer,
a thrifty little 6O-year old widow who lives
near Fort Atkinson.
Twenty years ago DR.. A. P. Burrus, of
GAINESVILLE, made set of false teeth for her
husband, consisting of upper and lower plates
For 18 years these teeth served all purposes
and would undoubtedly have lasted SO years
had not Mr.. Kramer died two years ago.
Just prior to placing the body in the casket
Mrs. Kramer asked that her husbands false
teeth be removed, as she would soon be obliged
to purchase some. Her request was complied
with, and Mrs. Kramer arrived in GAINESVILLE
with the full set of plates.
She called upon DR.. Burrus, informing him
that she desired to have them remade to fit
her and the request was granted.
When she left the dental office she said that
she hoped that the teeth would make her feel
80 years younger, as she intended to soon
again enter the matrimonial class.
