Business Men Of Frederick From
1870 to the Present Time.
NINeENT e. MOORE.


For more than half century Vincent
E. Moore was a noticeable character in and
around Frederick. He was the son Of
Vincent and Sarah Moore and was born
in Murderkil Hundred, August 2sth,
1878 In his younger days he was a far
mer of some note near the town OF
Frederick and was conspicuous for his
economy, industry and integrity. By
close attention to business he accumulated
enough to buy the farm adjoining Barratt's
Chapel, which had previously belonged
to Manloye Clendaniel, and was sold in
1S49 by virtue Of an order of Orphans
Court for the closing of the estate. On
this farm Mr. Moore resided for several
years, during which period he prospered
very materially. Finally he sold his farm
to John West, abandoned farming and
retired to Frederick, where he spent his
time in comparative leisure the remainder
Of his life.
His character, like Caesars wife, wa
above suspicion. OF course he had fail
ings as others have, but most of them
leaned to virtues side. He was Of jovial
disposition and although = bachelor of
more than forty years, he was a general
favorite among the bellies and beaux of
Prederica. He was always neatly attired
and moved in the elite and fashionable
circles of the town. He was familiarity
known as "Uncle Vince" and was petted
and caioled by the younger members of
society. He was very gallant and was a
decided toast among the ladies', es-
pecially those Of manageable age. He
kept horse, usually fast stopper, and |
enjoyed immensely taking ont a lady

all charitable purposes WAS unbounded;
he was man with a soul in him much
larger than the town in which he lived
it extended to other communities. He
was a liberal patron to the church in
Milford Neck, which he frequently at
tended-always a welcome visitor
The mistake of his life, perhaps, was
that he remained unmarried, living life

without a bosom companion; without a

His generous disposition would have
endered him a mOdel husband and an
Rdulgent pater family.
In summing up the life and character,
10 words can more ittingly describe Vim

PRINCE ITO
ASSASSINATED
Great Japanese Statesman Shot
Dead in ManChuTIa.
THREE OTHERS ARE INJURED

Korean Fired Deadly Bullets at Rail-

That He Did It to AVsnse His coun
Try.
Harbin, MaRchuria, Oct. 2T.-PrincC
airObumi Ito, former Japanese presi
dent general Of Korea, and probably
Japan's foremost statesman, was as
aassinated here by a Korean. who had
followed him here for the express pur-
pose Of killing him.
The motive of the assassin, who was
arrested with two companions, was
revenge.
The venerable Japanese diplomat
was acknowledging the noisy welcome
that had greeted him as he stepped
down from the coach that he had oc.
cupied in the railroad train. Smiling
and bowling, he turned to make his
way toward the Russian finance min
lister, NJ. Kokosvofi. who was awaiting
him on the station platform a few
PAGES distant.
Suddenly a half dozen revolver
shots, fred in quick succession. were
heard, followed by the cries of those
who were standing near the prince
who had either been wounded or i'm
.agined themselves to be. At the second
report Prince Ito staggered and fell
fainting. It was subsequently found
that he had received three bullets, two
of which entered the abdomen. Prince
Ito did not recover consciousness and
died twenty minutes later.
Three others Wounded.
The fusillade of shots threw the
crowd into a panic, and It was some
time before it could be determined
who, beside the prince. had suffered
When the excitement had somewhat
subsidized it was found that three other
members Of the party on the platform
had been injured. Prince Ito's private
secretary received a bullet, as did
japanese Consul General HAWAIIAN and
General Manager Tanaka. of the South |
railway, who had moved
closer to the prince as the firing be-
gan. 1t is not thought that these three |
are mortally wounded.
The perpetrator of the outrage was
not hard to locate, as he stood de- /
hantly in the crowd. revolver in hand |
He proved to be a Korean and, with |
two companions Of the same national
ity, bOasted of a conspiracy to take
the life Of the former resident general
Bf Korea in satisfaction for the al
legged tyranny of the prince over the
Koreans.
AS the police pounced on the tire,
Koreans. the one who did the shooting
reclaimed dramatically;
q came to Hardin for the sole pui-
pose Of assassinating Prince Ito. to
lyenge my country"
None of the three Koreans attempt
ID to escape The assassin, while
claiming to have been inspired by a
,atriOtic motive and to believe that
Japanese wrongs to Koreans justified
lis act, admitted under examination
hat he had a personal grudge against
he Japanese statesman. who. while
esident general in Korea. had caused
he execution of several of the muir

HALLEY's COME I

The merchants and business men OF
the city will rest awhile tomorrow al
the commercial club and listen to the
tale Of the tail and the other things
appertaining to and part of Haley
comet, which will be visible here il
January. Professor Gilmore, of tht
College of Hawaii, will give lecture
at noon on the history and peculiarities
of the great wanderer.
This was decided at a meeting of the
board of governors of the commercial
club yesterday and was direct result
of the action of the Kaimuki Improve
ment Club in advocating a campaign to
raise funds to build an observatory and
naming committee to carry on the
work.
The building, where will be housed
the instruments at present belonging to
the College of Hawaii and at present
useless, will be rushed to completion
'as soon as the necessary money is raised
and it is thought that it will be ready
by the time the comet is visible to
the naked eye.

TWO HIGHWAYMEN
ARE CAPTURED

For a crime committed on the sew
enteenth of last month, Antoine Phil
lips and Tom Richards were yesterday
lined up by the police. The latter. was
arrested Sunday and the former was
placed in the cooler yesterday. Both
boys are part Hawaiian and part POI
tuguese and both are charged with
robbing a Chinaman at Kalihi on the
night mentioned.
The police have been hunting for the
highwaymen ever since All Hoy report
ed TO them that he had been held up
at midnight and relieved of $3.50.
When Richards was caught at Kalihi
by Officer Kellett, who has been work
ing ON the case, he refused to commit
himself. When Phillips was nabbed by
Kellett for the same deed the second
boy confessed and then Richards adj
mitted that he had also been in the
business.
Both boys are just about too old to
come under the jurisdiction of the
juvenile court and will this morning
appear before Judge Andrade to be
bound over to the grand jury. Ac-
cording to Kellett, Richards is the
worst of the two and it is he that has
been leading the other boy into trou-
BILE. 1t will be some time before they
will ever have another chance to in
dulge in the pleasant game of high
waymen.

CAY YOUNG MEN
SEND ALOHA To
THEIR CREDITORS

When the steamship China left for
Yokohama two weIldressed young men,
quite swagger in the very latest sar.
torial offerings from New York. stood
upon the promenade deck and waved
farewells to those on the wharf, both
saying in unison:
"Don't forget to give our deepest
farewell to all our creditors.''
At that time the farewell was con
sidered just one of the usual mean
ingless things that people say when a
steamer is getting ready to leave port,
but it develops that the farewell had
a really significant meaning. Creditors
were a reality to the two young men,
and when several storekeepers learned
that the young men had shaken Homo
lulu s dust from their unpaid for shoes,
they knew that two real debtors had
slipped through their fingers.
The suit of clothes which one of the
young men wore came from haber-
dasher's who had sent the clothes out
on approval, The clothes were unpaid
for, and other portions of their APP
parel are entered On the wrong side
of several ledgers.
One of them, who had hand in look
ing after strikebreakers during the late
strike of plantation laborers, endeavor-
ed to negotiate a loan through bank
for $3.50, and gave the name of a
young business man as his security.
That young man, however, when called
mp by the bank to affirm the would-be
borrowers statement, emphatically de-
MED having any thought of going on
that particular note, or any other note
He did not have $3.50 to spare and took
no chances on paying for other people S
forgetfulness or failure to pay.
The young men are now steaming on
toward the Far East and may possibly
leave the steamer at Shanghai.
