SOUTH NOT RECOGNIZED
IN tariff CONFERENCE

WASHINGTON, July 12.- Notwith-
standing the promises and protesta-
tions yesterday of Chairman Payne.
OF the ways and means committee,
the character of the material chosen
by the speaker of the house conferes
gives no hope to the downward re-
visionists that the house will stand
for the high rates imposed by the
senate as we'll as it's own. Speaker
Cannon figured ostensibly that he
was making up the conferees for the
house so as to fairly represent all
sections of the country. Payne. Dal-
zell and Mccall were for the east,
Boutell, Fortiney and Galnerehad for
the west and Clark, Underwood and
Griggs for the south. The men for the
west are the radical Protectionists.
Those from the south are permitted to
take no part in the conference ex-
cept in name. New England in Aid
rich, Hale and Lodge dominate in the
senate conferees. Burrows is a strong
protectionist and Cullom. the fifth
Republican, will not attend the con
ferences, having left the city on ac
count of his health.
Money and Bailey like the Democrats
Of the house committee, will be mere
nominal creatures. The south has
no recognition in the conference. II
is a high tariff conference. There is
not a man among the fourteen Re
publicans who has limited at any time
on any item that he was for downward
revision, as understood to be contem
plated by the president. 1t is, there
fore, that this worst Of all tariff bills
will remain the worst.

MRS. CROSBY MAY
Be LIBERATED
EFFORT TO MAKE BOND FOR THE
YOUNG WOMAN WILL PPO5A.
BLY, BE SUCCESSFUL.

From reliable information received
this afternoon, it is very probable that
before another sun sets Mrs. Minnie
Crosby, the unfortunate young woman
who has been confined in the Forrest
county Jail for completely in the kill
ing of j. R. McShan, will be free and
at liberty to return to her fathers
home in Jones county.
Mr.. Jones, the father of Mrs.
Crosby, is in the city today and has
been busily engaged in an effort 10
have his daughter lib Nrated, and Il!
is said that from .hc encouragement
and sympathy shown ny local citizens
the necessary 'ond Will be made and
approved by the sheriff.
Mr., Jones is very grateful to those
citizens who have given pyid sue of
their sympathy for the young owmaG,
and expressed the intention OF TAX
ing her home as soon as she is libar-
ated. Mrs. Crosby has staed posi-
lively that she would not live with her
husband again, and this statement ap-
peared to be very comforting to the
old father, who seems very much at
tached to the unfortunate girl.
G. l.. Crosby, the young woman's
husband, came to the city this morn
ing with Mr.. Jones, but it under
stood that he has taken no part in the
matter of making the bond for his
wife.

TIE HAWAIIAN HTERS.

IL is an old saying of the revolu-
tionary days in Hawaii that you
get Hawaiian full and he'll talk
us he really thinks"
1t is equally true of the organ OF
the attorney for the telephone COM
pany that you get that outfit lit
tie riled and you bring into the
limelight the most fiercely preju-
diced gang of "kanaka haters'' that
is to be found in the Territory.
In the matter OF the telephone
agreement, the intelligence or lack
of intelligence Of Bill Aylett is made
the special target for the spew OF
the needlessly enraged organ.
II wasn't Bill Aylett's vote that
defeated the beloved agreement.
Poor Supervisor Bill committed the
objectionable sin of saying that
there might be less than $4,000 feet
f. mile of the telephone company's
..iuits, or some remark equally
sgbversive of the good order ana
lblic peace. For this he is charged
' it'll having disgraced the Hawaiian
race, and the organ of the attorney
has rung in the fire alarm for all
good white men to come to the aid
of the party and run Bill out. Per-
haps BillHwon't, so. More than like
ly Bill will gain votes from the at
tack from such source.
The telephone agreement was de-
feated by the votes of Supervisor
Aylett, Supervisor AHA, Supervisor
Cox, Supervisor Kane and Supervisor
Mcclellan.
There were four votes against the
measure. leaving 13,00O-foot-Bill
out of 1t entirely. N
Consequently the TRADE against
Aylett is merely the expression or
the well-known aversion, approach
ing a hatred, that the volunteer or
paid organ of the telephone company
has for the Ha -,aiian. The incl
dent Is merely zone OF many of the
same kind from the same source.
4, No attempt has been made by the
organ to deal with the merits of the
telephone agreement. 1t hasn't had
time to give tie public the text of
the agreement. 1t has simply gone
up in the air an dcursed Bill Aylett
taken a whack at one more Hawa-
iian and considered its duty done.
( That is not the way to settle the
problems of the City and County OF
Honolulu.
Victories for intelligent govern
ment cannot be won In that style.
