When a negro, by the name of
Lumby, attempted to take drink
of whiskey in a street car in
Washington, d. c., Friday night,
Congressman Thomas J. Hefin,
of Alabama, protested, and a des
perate fight ensued. Congress-
man Hefin shot at the negro
tAice, one ball entering the head
just above the ear, fracturing the
skull. He claims that, owing to
the animosity displayed against
him as the author of recent
Jim Grow" bill, he had asked
and obtained permission to carry
a weapon. Mr.. Hefin's objection
was raised against the negro's
drinking, because of the presence

LOSS BY FIRE and ROBBERY,
Former Thomasvi|Ie Lady Loses Heavily
from Rohher and Incendiaries in ST,
George, Ga,

OGvJS6g UQs
The Thomasville correspondent
of The Dispatch sends an interest.
ing story of robbery and incen.
diarism which has recently come
to light months after it happened,
the whole having been smothered
up to facilitate the work of detec-
tives and attorneys for the lady
who has lost so much.
Mrs. Flora II. Pinnix, the VIC
tim of the robbery, who was for
merly Miss Flora Hoover, sister
of the late Capt. P. A. Hoover, of
Thomasville, made visit to rel
tives in this county last August.
Just before this she was robbed of
$11, 100 at her home in St. George,
Ga. While asleep in her room,
along about the first of August,
she was aroused partially by some
one being in her room. Dimly
she realized that something was
wrong, but being in a stupor, pre-
sumably from the effect or chloro-
form, or some other drug, was un-
able to grasp the situation, New
ertheless she was conscious of a
person being in the room. Later
in the night, when the effects of
the drug wore off, she was able to
move, and Immediately went to
her trunk, where she had $11, 700
in bills. Opening the trunk, she
found that the money was gone.
There were eleven one thousand
dollar bills, one five hundred dol
lar bill, and two one hundred dol
lar bills.
+ Mrs. Pinnix kept store at St.
George and was known to have
money. She Immediately en-
ployed detectives and lawyers on
the case, and the utmost secrecy
was maintained, 80 that the story
has only recently leaked out. The
supposed guilty parties have been
arrested and their trial will come
off next month.
Following hard upon the rob-
berry and her efforts to run down
the guilty parties, her store was
burned to the ground and she lost
all therein. 1t is thought that
this was the work of the same par
ties who perpetrated the midnight
robbery. This is thought to have
been for the purpose of throwing
pursuit off the track and of in
timidating Mrs. Pinnix. The store
was filled with goods and was es-
timated to be worth several thou
sand dollars, it being the largest
mercantile establishment in St.
George.
The friends and relatives of Mrs.
Pinnix ia this county will await
with interest the trial and con-
vlction of the people who are the
alleged robbers and incendiaries.

COLLEGE or HAWAII

President John w. Gilmore of the
College of Hawaii delivered an address
at the opening Of that institution yes
terday. Among other things he said:
Some discussion has taken place re-
garding the entrance requirements. 1t
is the desire of both the regents and
the faculty that the requirements both
for entrance and for graduation be
kept up to university grade. There
are two good reasons for this. First,
the institutions already established
here are well qualified to do the work
of their respective fields, and it would
neither be right nor fair for us to du-
plicate their courses. In the second
place, and a reason of greater import
ance, it is the right and privilege of
every young man and woman of the ISL
ands who is of academic age and pre-
paration to receive a higher education
such as he would otherwise have to go
to the mainland in order to secure"
The college opened with the follow
ing students entered as candidates for
degrees in regular courses: Sam
White, Yong Tong, Kenneth Winter,
Leslie Clark and Theodore Cooper.
There are a number of special students
especially in domestic science.
