PARO[tD PRISONER
RAISES DISTURBANCE

lie Batches, Swiss who had been
released from the Oahu prison on pa
role to work for II. II. Hendrick OF
the Hawaiian Iron Fence and Monu-
ment Co., this morning kicked up a
big row, first in the store where he
was employed and later on in the
street, near the corner of King. Hen
drick says that the man had been
acting queerly, being "pupule" at
times, and last evening he had one
of his tantrums. This morning he
was acting in the same manner, and
Hendrick told him that in case he
did not behave he would send him
back TO the Jail. This enraged the
man and he raised such a disturb
ance that Hendrick sent for the po-
lice and to the prison, asking that
men be sent to take him in charge.
The police did not arrive, but two
guards, Dias and Haia, We're sent
from the jail. They found Batches
on the street, but he put up a frantic
fight, during which he was thrown to
the ground. The guards twisted his
arms, and it was the general impress
sion Of those who saw the affair that
they used great deal more force
than the occasion warranted, as they
were big enough to take care of him
without resorting to such tactics.
Batches was taken back to tn,
jail, where he will serve out the re-
mainder OF his term on a sentence Sor

TRAVELLING MEN
WANT STEEL CARS
AT CONVENTION TODAY PROTEC
TIVE ASSOCIATION ASK TOR
NEEDED LEGISLATION.

OSHKOSH. Wis. April 11.-Travel-
ing men of the country will combine to
demand legislation requiring all rail-
roads to use only steel, fire proof cars.
if the recommendation made today at
the annual convention of the Travel
ers' Protective association of Wisconsin
is acted upon.
1t is believed that the number of
fatalities as the result of collisions viii,
be materially reduced by the introduc-
|! ticn of this class of equipment.
In the opinion of the travelling men,
Legislation of this character for the
protection of life and limb is far more
important than the reduction in pas
senger rates.
The matter will probably be brought
before the national convention of the
Travellers Protective association, to
be held in Milwaukee on June %.
According to reports presented to
today's convention, the present mem
bership of the Wisconsin branch is
| 1900 representing a growth during the
year OF about 20 per cent.
