ATCHERLEYS CALL
MASS MEETING
Will Hold Forth in Front of
the Magoon Building
Tonight.

Leaning out from second-story win
dow in the Magoon building, Mrs. Mary
Atcherley last night announced to
fair-sized gathering of curiosity-seekers
that she had called mass meeting for
tonight, at which both she and her hus.
band will speak. The meeting will be
held on Queen street, in front of the
Magoon block, where DR.. Ateherley has
remained behind locked doors since yes
terday morning, and it is the intention
of Mrs. Atcherley to secure. one or two
of the Hawaiian legislators to speak.
cit s shame and an outrage she
said last night from her Julietlike
perch, in speaking of the action of the
Attorney General in ordering DR.. Peter
son to take her husband in charge.
1.-THE Doctor is no more insane than
you or I, and, for that matter, he is
not half so much lunatic as DR.. Emer
son, down at the police station. When
the officers came after my husband yes.
terday, he asked them if they had an
order from the court to take him to the
asylum, and when he found out that
they had no warrant, he very naturally
refused to accompany them. If they
had brought warrant for him the Doc
tor would have accompanied the Of
fcers quietly and without making any
fuss
ssBut the Attorney General had no
right to take such action. We knew
of this several days ago-we knew that
they were going to try to kidnap the
Doctor-and so we Were prepared. We
have friends who bring us plenty to
eat, and we can stay here in these
comfortable quarters for week. We
will hold mass meeting here tonight
and I will get out the posters this
morning. This is the only way we have
to show the people how badly we are
being treated. There is no chance for
q poor man in this country
The sensational feature of yesterdays
developments was that Attorney Ma
COON advised Atcherley to shoot anyone
who attempted to take him from the
formers office. All night police officers
from the station house and a big guard
from the Asylum watched the Magoon
building to see that DR.. Atcherley was
taken into custody if he attempted to
leave.
"We look upon DR.. Atcherley in the
light of an escaped lunatic,' declared
Attorney General Hemenway yesterday.
81 have requested Sheriff Jarrett to
take him into custody as such and it
now remains with the officers of the
law. We hold that the notice of APP
peal that was made when Judge Robin
son made his order discharging Atcher-
ley from custody acted as stay of
execution and that Atcherley should
have remained in the custody of DR..
Peterson until the matter could come
before the Supreme Court in regular
form. The only order that is now oper-
alive according to our view is the COM
mitment by Judge Andrade which plac-
ed DIR. Atcherley in the insane asy-
lum.''
The Attorney General has fifteen
DAYS in which to file brief with the
Supreme Court and Atcherley's attor-

Editor Advertiser.--The differences
which have been drawn from the de-
cision of the Supreme Court in connec-
ton with the Hawaiian incorporation
law are not entirely correct.
The exact technical point involved
in the matter is as follows:
The Hawaiian statute provides two
modes of Incorporation One of these
methods is by securing charter which
is granted by the Treasurer with the
consent of the Governor.
The other method of incorporation
is by articles of Association which
are in the form of an agreement drawn
,.f and signed by the parties and filed
with the Treasurer. Provided the pa
pcs are in proper technical form the
Treasurer has no discretion in the mat
ter. He does not grant anything, nor
is the consent of the Governor neces-
sarv.
All that the Treasurer does is to re-
ceiye the papers, file them and issue
certificate that such filing has taken
place.
The question at issue arises through
the ambiguous wording as to the kinds
of corporations that are to be respee-
lively Incorporated under the two
methods.
The incorporation by charter above
indicated is covered by Section 2542
CT the Revised Laws, which says that

ACTION BEGINS
TODAY At
LAST
Municipal Middle Will
Reach COurts---Men
Are Paid.

Formal action to compel Treasurer
Trent to pay the salary warrants of the
employees of the Honolulu road tenart-
ment viii probably, be taken today.
Such was the intimation given out at
the Office of the City Attorney yester-
day, where it was stated that the ac-
ton taken at the meeting of the Board
of Supervisors in the morning had
made it possible to go right ahead with
the mandamus suits. The action re-
ferred to was the passing over the veto
of the Mayor of the ordinances which
abolished the various holdover county
Offices and which created the standing
committees of the Board and gave them
authority to fire, hire and fix payments.
The commencement of the court ae-
tions has been hung up until these ordi-
nances were finally and formally passed
and the matter cinched.
1t is understood that the road labor
ers are not positively suffering for the
lack Of the money they have coming to
them, some of the men of finance in
the party having come to the rescue
and advance the dollars to the men,
taking orders on the road supervisor
for the amounts. 1t is understood, too,
that some of the men have discounted
their warrants and that these are held
in the hands of those who have been
paid very web to wait.
a communication from F. S. Dodge,
superintendent of the Bishop Estate,
called attention to the fact that a
promised concrete retaining wall along
a Kaakako road was year overdue.
Quinn was reminded by this that the
Bishop Estate was overdue in the mat
ter of street curbs in some parts of the
city.
The Supervisors will meet again on
Tuesday evening next at 1880.

BOYS HARD At WORK
ON FISH DESIGNS

There is a run on the colored fish
pictures on display in the Promotion
Committee rooms and it is seldom that
a visitor may drop in there during
Office hours without finding some busy
youth down on his knees before the
pictures, taking off a tissue paper
tracing and making copious notes con-
corning color arrangement and fin
structure. These are boys preparing
to take part in the bicycle section of
the Floral Pa rade, the section that IS
known now as the Hawaiian fish sec
ton. The boys with bicycles are TAX
ing an intense interest in the parade
this year and If one half of them
work out to a finish the designs they
have started. the bicycle part Of the
parade will be one of the very best.

PRIMARY ELECTION LAW
PASSING MANY HANDS

The primary election law is nearly
ready for the consideration of Govern
or Frear. The legal aspects of the
document have been receiving the earn
est consideration of Secretary Mott
Smith and he concluded his labors in
that connection yesterday. With his
findings and comments attached, it was
returned to the Attorney General s of

ant Deputy Attorney General Whitney,
who drew it up.
After the document has been gone
over again by the Attorney General IS

for final consideration before it is
turned over the Legislature. 1t is be-

ITALIANS READY
To COME HERE
MIR. Tren0r States Government
Experts May Visit
Islands.

The cooperation of the italian gov
eminent and the powerful italian socie-
ties of New York City has been secur-
ed in the plan to bring Italian families
to Hawai-, and there is every indiea-
ton that, within the course of a very
short time, the first batch of immi-
grants, fifty families strong, will be
on their way from New York.
In letter that has been received
by Secretary Mott-Smith from J. D.
Trenor, the special agent of the immi-
grafton bureau at Washington says he
has met with much success and has not
only enlisted the aid of the immigra-
tion representative of the Italian gov
eminent in the United States, Professor
j. d. Attolico, in the work, but also
a Mr.. Fabri, the president of the con-
solidated italian societies of New York
City. These two men nave about be-
come convinced that their eountrymen
would find a desirable field of effort in
Hawaii, and it is believed that either
Fabri or Professor Attolieo will come
to Hawaii to make a personal inspee-
ton of the conditions upon the sugar
plantations.
Congress Interested.
In connection with the migration of
Italians from New York to Hawaii il
is also probable that a subcommittee
of the Congressional committee on I'M
migration viii come to the Islands this
summer, Senator Dillingham;. chairman
of the committee, and Assistant Seere-
tary of Commerce and Labor William
r. Wheeler believeing that this would
be productive of more enlightenment
upon the general situation.
The committee has asked for a copy
of Mr.. Trenor's report on the island
labor conditions as he found them dur
ing his recent visit, and it is under.
stood that they will go deeply into the
question of bringing Italians to the
Islands.
The assistance that Mr.. Trenor has
secured by getting the Italian societies
and the Italian government interested
in the subject practically assures its
success" said Secretary Mott-Smith
in discussing the latest advices from
Trenor yesterday. elf the italian
government and the societies send a
representative here and they report
favorably on labor conditions, it will
be an easy solution to the matter The
Italians viii accept without question
what their own countrymen say, and

First Prosecution in the State
Under the New Statutes
PowNAL MAN WAS VICTIM
Says That he Did not Know That He
Could Not Fish For Suckers
During the Close Season.

Walter Jones. colored, was arrested
at Pownal this morning by County.
Warden Harry Chase charged with
fishing in waters inhabited by trout
during the close season. The respon-l
dent was caught in the act, being
found by the warden fishing on jack
son brook.
He was taken before Jusice Charles
H. Myers at Pownal Center where he
pleaded guilty and was fined $40 and
costs. Jones who lives on the Jacob
A. Blanchard place, said that he did
not now about the new law that makes
1t an offence to fish or attempt to fish
in waters inhabited by trout during
the close season. but some of the
neighbors say that he must have
known as it has been generally talked
of around there.
He did not have any fish when cap
tured and said he was fishing for suck
ers. This was the second time he
had been fishing this year.
This is probably the first prosecu-
ton in the state under the new law
on this subject.

THE WHOLESALERS. LICENSE
List of Liquor Dealers Who Have
Made Applications.

Montpelier, April 16.-Considerable
confusion exists among those firms
which have been selling liquor to the
licensees in this state because the new
law which was enacted last winter is
not understood. However, the differ
ent companies are becoming acquaint-
ed with the fact and are applying for
the fourth class license known as the
wholesalers license which gives them
a right to sell in Vermont.
The recent law provides that only
such liquor as that which has passed
the analyses at the state laboratory in
Burlington can be sold by these firms.
The men in charge of the laboratory
will not make test of the liquor I'M
less the fees are paid at the secre-
tary of states office and only then
when a statement is received from
the secretary that the fees have been.
paid. Until two weeks ago there were
only seven wholesalers in the state
but at the present time there are Is
applications before the board.
Those who have applied are Pleif-
fer Bros, Boston, Columbia Distilling
company, Albany, N Y, J. P. Barbee
company, Louisville. KY, Conway Bros
Brewing company, of Troy, N. Y, e.
S. Meigs of Montpelier, 8. Grabfel-
dern company of Rutland, Henry L.
Ayers of Burlington, Springfield Brew
ing company, of Springfield, Mass. J.
A. Merrill of Burlington. Penrose and
McInery of Cohoes, N Y, Frank Jones
Brewing company of Portsmouth, N,
H., Burlington Drug company of Bur-
lington and the Sample & company
New York.
The fee for those selling whiskeys
and like liquors is $500 while of malt
liquor the fee is $500. There are
many more which will have to get li--
censes before they can sell in the
state.

torial Offices All over the senate Of

ial jaws was plainly audible to any
one who walked down the corridors.
The messengers who staggered I'M
der the loads of sugar, however, were
followed closely by still other messen-
gers bearing with great care numer-
GUS suspicious packages. These were
the gifts of Senator Bradley and when
unwrapped each recipient found
quart bottle of the choicest whisky
that ever left a Kentucky still. Al
most as the same instant the sound OF
munching ceased to reverberate in the
corridors. II would be unfair to say
that is was succeeded by the sound
of gurglng however.
Although Senator Page insisted that
his sugar was pure and Senator Brad

the senate, is fearful of the conse-
quences to senatorial stomachs grow

Flooded.

Brattleboro, April 16.-All records
for high water in the Connecticut riy-
er between this town and a point six
miles south, where a dam has just
been built, were smashed yesterday,
when the water reached a depth of IL
feet on the dam, which is 20 feet high.
The damage was comparatively small,
as most of the buildings OH the low
lands had been raised in anticipation
of high water by reason of the dam.
Heavy rains, however, more than
the dam, are responsible for the ex-
cessively swollen condition of the
river here. Practically all of the is
land opposite this village is submerg-
ed and the water is flowing in a swift
current over the Hinsdale highway
on the island, which was supposed to
to be out of harms way.
The water is flowing through the
buildings on the Hunt farm, south of
the village, the water standing sever
al feet deep on the floors. Yesterday
all of the machinery in the electric
light plant was out of commission, the
water having covered the floor of the
building to a depth of three feet, but
electrical power is being furnished
from the company's auxiliary plant in

For the purpose of correcting any

the price of gas here, the Bennington
Gas Light company wishes to make
the statement that the cost of gas to
the individual consumer under the

greater probably, if as great, as has
been paid for the past four years here
and for this reason,-the present quail
ity of gas furnished by the company
is so superior to the old gas, that it
will go from one third, to one half
further in equal quantity, besides Civ
ing much better service. All users
of gas in Bennington for the past
month have noted this fact doubtless,
