SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 7.-Mrs.
Elisa Neumann, widow of Paul Neu-
mann, for many years legal adviser to
the late King Kalakaua Of Hawaii, dis
appeared on the night of September 1
from the Pacific Mail steamer City Of
Sydney, which arrived here today from
Acapulco, Mexico.
1t is the belief of the officers of the
vessel that Mrs. Neumann jumped
overheard and committed suicide.
Mrs. Neumann was last seen on deck
by a passenger about IL o'clock at
night. Shortly afterward she was
missed. A hurried search of the ship
was made, but she could not be found.
Capt. William H. Mclean ordered
the steamer put about and the vessel
steamed back over her course for some
distance, searching the water with her
searchlights.
No trace of the missing woman was
found.
Daughter Frustrated
When the City of Sydney docked this
morning Mrs. H. Focke, a daughter of
Mrs Neumann, who had arrived here
several days ago from Honolulu to
meet her mother, was at the wharf to
greet her.
When she learned of the fate of her
mother she collapsed and had to be
taken away by friends.
1t was said by officers of the City of
Sydney that Mrs. Neumann appeared
to be very respondent on the voyage.
Her husband. who was prominent in
Honolulu under Kalakaua's reign, died
twelve years ago.
Recently her father and mother died,
and 1t is said that but a short time
ago a son was killed on a British war
shin.

garden of their home on Forest avenue,
between Waverly and Cowper aye

No one saw the shooting except one
OF the slayers two small children, the
other being i'll in bed; but G. M. Ord of
the Western Union Telegraph compa-
ny in San Francisco, who resides near
by, hearing the shot followed by the
woman's screams, rushed to the scene
in time to find Rodriguez standing
over the dying form Of his wife with a
smoking revolver in his hand. i
The 10-year- old daughter was weep
ing beside her mother, and in response
to question said;
Papa has shot mamma"
He soon ascertained that the woman,
in whose left side was a ghastly
wound, was past aid.
Slayer Surrenders
Ord then turned his attention to Rod
riguez, who, after short parley, con-
sented to give up his weapon and sur
render himself.
He appeared to be considerably under
the influence of liquor, and in explana-
ton of the deed said that on returning
from San Francisco on the late theater
train he found that during his absence
his wife had gone to San Jose and only
got back home a short time before he
arrived.
He admitted that he was jealous of
her, and accused her of too great
friendship for another man to whom,
he said, she desired to go. N
Now that he had killed her, for she
lived only a few moments, Rodriguez
declared he had no further desire to
live, and threatened to take his own
life. He was locked up.

A Correction.

Ii the last issue of the Iron River
Department of the TINES a state
ment was made which we hasten to
correct. In the article reporting
the trial and conviction of Detect We
Stratton, it was stated that this
man Str ration had taken young girls
into the Hoo hoo saloon at Ashland
and there furnished them with
liquor, that these girls young girls
mad never been in a saloon before. J"
This has been reported in the Ash
land Daily News several times, but
we understand that there is no
foundation for the statement, at
least that part of it claiming that
the girls had never been in a saloon
before. A newspaper is nothing if
not honest, and we shall at all times
insist on the truth being told in
this department. We therefore
hasten to correct the statement.
Statements appearing in Newspap
ers should be backed by absolute
proofs and il the affair reported was
not true Mr.. Stratton is entitled to
an apology We therefore publicly
declare that W. had not proof of the
st tement, and that VT allowed it
to bp printed simply because we had
seen it in other papers.

Mayor Becker of Milwaukee
made a speech at WATERFOWL the
other day during the dedication
exercises of the new Methodist
church. He said something
about enforcing only good laws
and many other things which we
have not the space to print. He
said in part:
ct seems to me-" he said,
''that political reformers have
demonstrated that the best re-
suits along reform lines can be
secured by obtaining the direct
expressions of the people upon
questions that concern the com
munity interests. I believe the
widest possible latitude should
be given the voters of every com
muuity to determine their de-
sires as to laws and their en-
| forcement.
THE legislature frequently
enacts a law to fit a general con-
dition in the state. The fact
that it is law carries with it the
fact that it should be enforced
When the ena -tment is sustained
by public sentiment it is accept
ed. When sentiment is against
it or in comatoSe condi ton the
law becomes a nullity. This is
the situation as regards scores
of laws. AS a result, while the
authorities know that the laws
exit, their violation is Winked at
unless public sentiment is back
of their enforcement.
"My view is that, if greater
power was left to the communi-
ties to determine many of these
questions, laws would not be
dead letters and attempts at
their enforcement would not be-
come mere efforts at joking ap-
pication. Tt is these methods
that bring laws into disrepute
and arouse the disrespect and
disregard of tie public.
THE people have delegated too
much in these matters and eff
forts should be made to secure
a tactical remedy.
