GROSSMAN'S SLAYER
ESCAPES FROM JAIL

Referring to the escape of the muir
derer of Joseph Grossman, brother of
DIR. Grossman of Honolulu, the Call of
November "a says:
Every guard whose duties did not
make it compulsory for him to remain
all of last night at the county Jail was
stationed on some portion of the penin-
sula searching for Samuel II. Taylor,
the murderer of Joseph E. Grossman,
who escaped from the county Jail last
Saturday evening.
Men with deadly rifles are stationed
at all points between this city and San
Mateo. Under Sheriff Heggerty is in
charge of one of the posses and is work
ing in the vicinity of San Mateo. An
other posse of FIVE men is making a
close search of the Sutro forest.
The wires between this city and the
south have been kept hot with mes
sages asking that Taylor be intercepted
should he have been successful il
catching the south bound Southern Pa
cific train Saturday night. The posses
that are working close to the city will
close up today in an effort to catch thu
fugitive.

QUEEN To ADOPT
HER GOD-CH|LD

There will be no contest of the Prince
David Kawananakoa will.
That was settled yesterday when the
Princess Kawananakoa withdrew her
appeal in the Supreme Court from the
order of Judge Lindsay dismissing her
contest of the will on the ground that
she was not an heir at law. This was
followed Immediately by withdrawal
of the contest of the will by the minor
children, Liliuokalani and Kalakaua, by
their guardian ad litem Samuel Parker.
The will was then admitted to pro-
bate by Judge De Bolt, and an order
was entered directing that letters testa-
mentary be issued to John f. Colburn
upon his giving bond in the sum of
$1,000, the amount to be subject to
change as circumstances should dictate.
The will was admitted to probate on
the testimony of Samuel Parker, Dr.. f.
Howard Humphris and G. w. Ashford,
who were witnesses to the will. The
testimony of all three, but especially
of Humphris and of Ashford, was taken
in much detail, all the circumstances of
the execution of the will being de-
scribed.
An order was also entered by Judge
De Bolt appointing R. w. Shingle, Job
Bachelor and Charles A. K. Hopkins
to appraise the estate of the deceased.
The exact conditions of the COM
promise which resulted in the abandon
ment of contest of the will are not
known. The Princess will get a share
of her husbands estate equal to what
her dover would have been, if there
had been no will.
Growing out of the compromise and
perhaps a factor in it, it is said that
the little son of the Prince and Prin-
cess, Kalakaua, is to be adopted by his
uncle and aunt, the Prince and Princess
Kalanianole, and the little daughter Lii
liuokalani is to be adopted by her
godmother, Queen Liliuokalani. The
Princess Kawananakoa in this does not
feel that she is giving up the children,
nor do those who are thus proposing
to adopt them. For they will remain
right here where they can be with her
much of the time, and at the same time
have the care and affection of those
who are near to them in blood and have
i always been affectionately fond OF
them. This arrangement will also give
to these children the worldly advantage
of excellent financial prospects, though
that is not motive in the matter,

CHE-FA WlLLIE'S
TALLY BASIS OF
LANES CONTEST
(From Wednesdays Advertiser.)

off the tally-sheet keeper, Crawford,
was supposed to make proper tally
mark on the official sheet. But, it will
be alleged that in the penciling of tally
marks opposite the name of Lane the
tally man passed his pencil twice over
the same mark, and did this frequently.
In this precinct there were 81 rejected
votes and "a remain unacsounted for,
and it will be alleged that in this list
of 81 ballots majority of them were
lost to Lane through the juggling Of
the count.
Bernard Kelekolio, who was on duty
in one of the precincts and whose duty
was to take ballots from the boxes, left
his post, SO it is claimed, to get his
dinner at a nearby house and went out
of the voting booth later during the
night for a supper and on one or two
other occasions left his booth, 80 that
there were not enough officials present
to kept strict watch on the count
Another allegation will be that Craw-
ford so influenced Chinese voters to
cast their ballots for Achi instead Of
Lane as they intended, that they did
actually vote for Achi. They state that
they were followed almost into the
booths by Willie Crawford and in
structed and influenced to vote for
Achi.
Further allegations will be presented
in statement that on the other side
of the island tyeight straight Demo
cratic votes had been marked with an
identifying cross.
All in all the Republican committee
believes that there has been serious
dereliction of duty on the part of elec-
tion officials at various voting booths,
and they believe they can prove their
allegations.
A. l.. C. Atkinson stated yesterday
that he like John Lane, Immediately af-
ter the election, believed that Lane
was fairly beaten but information OBJ
tanned in the last week or so made
him believe that contest was due on
behalf of John Lane. He states that
the committee has weighed the charges
and is not going off half-cocked.

THE L|L|HA Street
Case AND DECISION
(From Wednesdays Advertiser.)

(From Wednesdays Advertiser.)
Castle & Wilmington yesterday re-
ceived cable in answer to one sent
by them for more detail as to the Lii
liha street decision. Tile answer was
that the point on which the case was
decided was that in the matter of
changing schedules, the executive de-
partment and not the courts deter
mined what might be permitted.
This corroborates in every particular
the view of the decision presented in
the Advertiser yesterday.
A disposition seems apparent among
some of the Liliha street property
ers to blame the Attorney General for
the decision. He is indirectly CEN
sured for appearing in the case at all,
although it was brought IN mis- name,
and could only have been brought with
his consent. 1t was not brought until
after he had become Attorney General,
and long before he went to Washing
ton it was known by all interested that
he would appear in the case in the
Supreme Court if it could be brought
to hearing while he was there.

FUGITIVE NOW INV JAII..

Deputy United States Marshal Chill
lingworth arrived yesterday morning
by the Mauna Loa from Kau bringing
with him Aino Yoshido and Natsu, the
latter woman. Aino Yoshido is the
Japanese who was under indictment to
be tried at Hilo two years ago and for
feited his bond and has since been a
fugitive from justice.
The two were arrested ON warrant
issued by United States Commissioner
Kingsbury. They were brought before
Kingsbury on their arrival here but
waived examination and were bound
over to await the action of the grand
jury. They were unable to give bonds
and are in Jail.

Hearing on Pineapples.

Tomorrow there is to be hearing on
duties on pineapples. James ID. Dole,
president of the Hawaiian Pineapple
Company, arrived here this evening. He
and Mr.. George B. Mcclellan, both of
whom expect to address the committee
tomorrow, will ask for an increase of
the duty on fresh pineapples from the
present rate of 81 a thousand. They
are to have a conference this evening
with Representatives Clark and Spark
man, of Florida, and Needham, of Cal
ifornia, and try to agree upon an ad-
vanced rate, which the Ways and Means
Committee will be asked to incorporate
in the new tariff law.
A government expert has been en-
ployed by the committee TO look after
questions of phraseology in the making
of the tariff bill. He has promised Mr..
Mcclellan to change the phraseology SC
that canned pineapples, containing
sugar, shall be required to pay the
higher instead of the lower rate of duty
At hearing, set for Thursday, Mr.
Mcclellan will ask the committee tt
impose duty on coffee.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1908-12-04

Following conference of Republican
leaders yesterday afternoon the prep
aration of papers contesting the elec-
tion of Joseph J. Fern, as Mayor of
Honolulu on November last, was plac-
ed in the hands of attorneys A. G. M.
Robertson, George A. Davis and A. l..
C. Atkinson to be presented before the
Supreme Court this morning. The con-
test is entered in behalf of John G,
Lane, Republican candidate for Mayor
who was declared defeated by the mar
row margin of seven votes.
One ground for the action is that in
certain precincts, although the law ex-
pressly provides that the balloting and
ballot boxes shall be closed promptly
at 5 clock in the afternoon, balloting
was permitted after 5 o clock to accom-
modate a few votes.
Another allegation is that the tally
of ballots was illegally kept in the
Fourteenth Precinct of the Fifth Dis
trict by William II. Crawford, and also
that in one precinct, where votes were
in reality cast for Lane, they were
wrongly totalled, the tally-sheets OF
three watchers showing rs votes for
Lane, while the tallysh keeper 8
record showed only 20 votes.
In one precinct where Lane was re-
ported by the counters and tally-sheet
keepers to have received only eight
votes he was actually entitled to at
least sixteen votes. To substantiate
this charge it is said that the attorneys
have the affidavits of sixteen voters of
this precinct who swear they voted for
Lane.
One of the most serious charges is
that in the Fourteenth Precinct the tai
lysheet keeper played a smooth game
in behalf of Achi and Fern as opposed
to the interests of Lane. 1t is said
that in this precinct the ballots were
taken one by one from the boxes by
young Hawaiian, who merely opened
them, glanced at the votes and passed
them on to another teller, who read off
the names which had crosses opposite
them, and for each name that he called

EMBEZZLER OF SOUTH
WAS IN HONOLULU

A man who was known recently in
Honolulu as Knollys, but whose real
name was Hancock, was arrested in San
Francisco ON arrival of the Mongolia
there on November %. The Pinkerton
search for Hancock had extended half
way around the world. Hancock was
wanted in Winston, North Carolina, for
'embezzlement of money from the Lam
bert, Fisher Lumber Company.
An elaborate tattooing on one of
Hancock Is arms led to his undoing The
design was of Dragons tail and it
tailed exactly with the description
sent out from North Carolina. He was
first traced to New York and from there
and in easy stages he worked his way
to San Francisco and then it was dis
covered that he had taken passage to
Japan on the Siberia. Descriptions
were sent by cable to Yokohama and
Nagasaki, and then it was discovered
that he had gotten off the steamer here
and returning to the Coast on the Mon
golia he had simply doubled on hit
track to elude pursuit. He insisted thai
a mistake had been made as to hii
identity, when arrested, and said he
was L. E. Knollys,a a member of a brok
erage firm of Courtland, Babcock 6 Co.
A Pine street, N. Y. He was registered
as L. E. Knollys. A young woman ii
