TWOOOzEN DRIVERS ARRESTED
ALL ON THE WRONG SIDE OF
PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE.
Police Determined to Bring Careless
Motorists, BicycIists and
Others to Time.

AS drivers. motorists and bicyclists have
persistently ignored the regulation which
went into effect about three months ago
making Pennsylvania avenue one street
instead of two, the police of the fifth
precinct got busy yesterday and began
arresting violators. AS result of their
activity twenty-four persons. ranging
from chauffeurs to cart drivers, forfeited
81 collateral in thu Police Court this
morning.
The violations have been especially fla
grant in the southeastern section of the
city, and from time to time there have
been arrests, coupled with general
warning to possible violators of the
order. Little improvement resulted, how
ever and yesterday the police decided to
take things in hand in earnest. With
this end in view yesterday the command
ing officers of the fifth precinct stationed
men along Pennsylvania avenue with
orders to arrest alb violators.
The result was that before 4 O'Clock
yesterday afternoon twenty drivers had
been required to deposit 81 collateral each
for their appearance in the Police Court.
Many of those arrested were mighty in
dignant, but the police were firm and
treated all alike, giving warning more
five times as much collateral as that de-
posted yesterday.
After sunset only four additional arrests
were made.
Those who forfeited their collateral
this morning were John Proctor Edward
Della, William Blair Isaiah Carter.

HOTEL men LINING UP
Object to Regulation Proposed
by Commissioners.
STAIRWAYS ARE THE ISSUE
District Rulers Want Steps in
Hostelries Fireproof.
ATTORNEY MAKES ARGUMENT
Contends That Municipal Authors
ties Are Without Power to Pro-
mulgate Such an Ordinance.

That the Commissioners are without
power to enforce an ordinance requiring
hotels in the District to have stairways
of fireproof material and that If Congress
should grant such authority it would be
unconstitutional was the declaration
made by Attorney A. S. Worthington.
| representing the Washington Hotel Mems
Association, at public hearing before
| the Commissioners today.
The hearing was granted at the request
of the association in order that the plan
of majority of the Commissioners to
| have all stairways in local hotels re-
placed with fireproof material. unless
such are already fireproof might be dis
| cussed. A score of hotel owners and
managers were present, and their views
and desires were made known through
Mr.. WorthingtOn.
Speaks From Legal Viewpoint.
The attorney argued against the prop
osition, principally from a legal view
point. He contends that it is purely a
| matter of law, and that he cannot see
that the Commissioners have the power
to promulgate such regulation as is
proposed. and that he has been unable
to find that such law or regulation In
other Jurisdictions has been sustained by
the courts, when questioned.
From information furnished me and
carefully considered, the enforcement of
such a law or regulation in this city
would mean a serious financial loss to
| the majority off hotel owners in this
city, the attorney announced. 81 know
| of two instances where it would cost the
proprietors $4,000 each, and the other
hotel men affected would be put to an
| unjust and unnecessary expense of about
s., 600 each.
Alleges Lack of Power.
cit should be well known to you gen.
tlemen that it is not within the power OF
Congress or yourselves to say you must
tear down your homes or your places OF
| business. If you do you are treading
| heavily upon the word and spirit of the
Constitution. Neither the courts of the
District nor the United States Supreme
Court would sustain you. You must dis
tinguish between legislation and mere
regulations.
IF the hotels, in your opinion, should
be required to go to this great expense to
afford what you consider additional fire
precaution, why not include apartment
houses. tenements. Office buildings apd
even private dwellings? You would have
just as much right as you have to sim
gle out hotels. The latter are being con-
tinually harasSed by numerous regula-
tons enforced by the electrical, building
and fire departments Of the District,
which in numerous instances conflict with
one another

NEPHEW OF SAMPSON SLAIN
SHOT IN HOME OF HIS WIFE's
FAMILY.
Theory Of Suicide Upset by Fact BE
Was Taking Lunch
at Time.

PALMYRA, N. Y, November 3.-Harry
Sampson, a nephew of the late Admiral
Sampson, was found mysteriously shot to
death Sunday in the pantry of farm
house where he lived with his wife's fam
lily at Macedon, hamlet fifteen miles
from here.
At first it was believed his death was
by suicide, but indications now are that
it may have been the result of cleverly
planned and concealed murder.
Sampson, who was twenty-eight years
old. was seen alive by his wife and several
of her relatives, the Allyn family, at $50
O. clock Sunday morning.
He arose at that time and said he felt
hungry and was going down to the pan
try to get a bite to eat before break
fast Some of the Allyns heard him go
downstairs; one or TWO OF them were
asleep.
Wife Stumbled Over Body.
At o'clock Mrs. Sampson dressed and
went down to prepare breakfast. She
moved about the kitchen for a few
moments, neither surprised nor alarmed
because her husband had not returned.
She thought he was reading, perhaps, or
had fallen asleep on lounge in the par
lor.
But when she went into the pantry to
get food for the morning meal she ran out
screaming. She had stumbled across the
body of her husband, dead from bullet
wound in his head.
The shot had been fired from his own
rifle. for the weapon, always loaded, was
now empty, And there was the smell Of
powder smoke in the air, showing that
the shot had been fired in the room.
These appearances seemed to Indicate
suicide
But a moment later Mrs. Sampson and
| the Allyns made a remarkable discovery.
| In young SIMPSONS right hand was held
| sandwich which he had been eating,
1t was a good-sized piece, too. which
would have interfered with his firing the
rifle with his right hand-and that was
| the hand he used.
Rifle Back in It's Place.
Then, besides, the members of the fam
lily found that the rifle was standing up in
it's accustomed corner. some four feet
away from where the body lay. 1t seemed
| impossible. judging from this, that he
could have fired the shot had both his
| hands been free.
The case was not reported to the au-
| thorities here until yesterday. SO their in
vestigation was belated. They depended
| for the facts they learned entirely upon
| the Allyn family.
All the Allyns claimed that they did not
hear shot fired They all declared. too,
that neither the pantry nor any other
room of the house showed any sign OF
| forcible entry from the outside.
At the same time. they said they were
sure Harry had been murdered. although
| they could not tell the name of any en-
| envy or give any motive.
| Sheriff Collins and his detectives are go
| ing deeply into young SIMPSONS history
| and his list Of acquaintance. He was a
| farmer and had always lived in this ter
| ritory.

Public Should Help Pay Cost.

If you consider this fireproof stairway
idea one of public good and necessity, the
public should help pay the COST
Mr.. Worthington concluded by saying
that if it is the plan of the Commits
sioners to draft the regulations SO as to
affect only hotels to be built in the fu-
ture and not those already in existence
his clients are in no way interested.
Commissioner West, who is advocating
the regulation. informed those at the
hearing that similar regulations are in
force in many of the large cities through
out the United States and read the laws
of certain cities regarding fireproof stair
ways.

DUST ON
HEFRONT
MANY COMPLAINTS AS TO The
CONDITION OF THE STREETS
NEAR THE HARBOR.

There is great Indignation along the
waterfront because of the undisturbed
prevalence of dust and the very evil
dent absence of water-wagons or
sprinklers.
For several days there has ragged a
dust storm on the waterfront that has
made business disagreeable and un-
healthful and cut out the pleasure of
tourists, people from the steamers, the
transport Thomas, the Brazilian and
Gillian training ships. the Mariana
and island boats. Tourists invariably
take in the waterfront as something
worth seeing and soldiers and sailors
take most of their exercise there.
Men of the Inter-Island Steam Navi-
CATION Company, the Americah-Ha-
waiian S. S. Co., in fact all who hays
any business on the front, are at a
loss to account for the studied absence
from the front of sprinklers, while
they cannot help but observe the wa
ter-wagon parading in front of swell
residences in the leisure sections of the
city.
If the same state of affairs reigns
when the fleet gets here the thousands
who visit the waterfront to look at the
ships will suffer instead of enjoying
themselves.

CONGRESS OF SONG,

The Congress of Song, the annual
musik festival to be given May 18th at
Hawaiian Opera House, is an event
that has for its purpose the musical
education of the young people, and
such subjects are selected as will give
them an understanding of the best
music. This is the primary object, and
the public is charged an admission
price in order to make the entertain
ment pay for itself. The expenses in
connection with such a great under
taking are necessarily very large, the
cost of the music alone being over
$4,000, and the total of expenses
amounting to something over 100000.
Exchange tickets are being sold by
the students of Kamehameha Schools,
Oahu College, Normal, High. School
and Mills Institute. They may be ex-
changed later for reserved tickets at
Wall, Nichols Co.
There is a movement on foot among
some of the schools for each school to
take a box and decorate it with the
school colors. Only the best and most
mature voices are to be chosen for the
cantata, as there is large field from
which to select the singers, and the
rest of the school children will do their
part by attending and selling tickets
for the festival.

WAS 1T
A BULLE 7?
THE MYSTERY OF A HOLE IN THE
WINDOW OF THE ATTORNEY
GENERALS OFFICE.

Has an attempt been made to as
sassinate Attorney General hemen-
way? The members of the depart
ment refuse TO give out any lnforma-
ton on the subject but the grounds
for the suspicion arise from the fact
that there is a hole in the glass win
dow of the Attorney Generals office
which was very evidently made by a
bullet This hole is directly in line
with the seat at which the Attorney
General sits and about the height OF
his head in the position in which he
would naturally be when at his work.
Hemenway refuses to have much to
say about the matter, trying to laugh
it off when questioned, by state
ment that the hole has been there for
a long time. In case that this is so,
it is very strange tnat it has never
before been noticed by those who pay
daily visits to the office. The Office
attaches have nothing to say about
the matter at all.
Attorney-General Hemenway occu-
pies the room on the mauia- Waikiki
room on the second floor of the Exc
cutive building and one located or
PunchbOwl street could easily see him
when working at his desk. The bullet
hole mentioned is a clean cut break
of the glass perhaps three quarters or
an inch in diameter in the Waikiki
window, but there is no mark on the
shutter to show where the bullet pass
ed through, as would have been the
case if fired at night when the shutters
are closed.
Acting Governor Mott-Smith stated
this morning that he had not heard of
the matter at all till it was brought
to his attention by the newspaper men.
He did not appear to be greatly dis
! turbed though when it was suggested
that there might be a plot which
would be heard from later he shrugged
his shoulders and laughed in a non
chalant manner.
In case it can be proved that the
shot was fired at the Attorney General
it is likely that the Federal authorities
might take hand in hunting down a
conspiracy. Hemenway is "a very po-
| pular man, and his personality is such
that it is hard to say that he has a
personal enemy in the city. OF course
his position as the prosecuting Officer
of the Territory in criminal casei
might cause his being disliked by the
criminal element, among Whom there
are many Porto Ricans ana Korean!
who might have become excited
through the successful plot agains
Special Envoy Stevens. This is hard
| ly likely however, as Hemenway has
not appeared in the criminal cases
personally since taking Office. Such
vengeance would be moare likely to be
directed against his subordinates in
Office.
