Chickens Were Trespassing.

Chief of Detectives Kalakiela, after
investigating the complaint of Mrs.
Moore of Nunanu valley, that her
chickens had been poisoned, learned
that the chickens came to their end
because of their predatory habits and
trespassing on neighbours premises. A
neighbor had placed poison in the
ground to kill cutworms. The chickens
got to the poison as quickly as the
worms, and just died.

When is an engagement to marry not
an engagement, was asked of Chief of
Detectives KalakieIa yesterday by two
Cinnamon. The chief didn t know, and
he is trying TO find out through the
very simple method Of asking two
young Hawaiian girls whom the China
men considered their wives-to-be. 1t
appears that the Cinnamon became ac-
quainted with the girls short time
ago. The Chinese wanted to marry,
and they cOurted the girls awhile and
everything seemed lovely. The girls
accepted their presents and smiled and
beamed upon them ana got more. Then
the Cinnamon said they made noise
like an engagement and the girls made
another noise like accepting, But there
was a string to this acceptance. The
girls said to marry at all, they must
have fine house to live in. They felt
that to enter the matrimonial world
they would not like to 90 to housekeep-
ing in a couple of rooms in a tenement,
but a brand new house would just suit.
Sure. The Cinnamon wanted the
girls for their wives, and they were
willing to give them what their little
hearts desired. So they began to build
and the house was getting into the fin
ished stage, when the girls decided they
did not want any marriage business ln1
their careers, just yet The Cinnamon
were astonished and much aggrieved.
What was house Of their hands with
out pair of happy wives to tidy it up
and hang up the old Sign There s
No Place Like Home?'' The girls were
brought before the chief and he ar
gued with them. They told the chief
that they never knew an engagement
existed. They were just having fun
with the Cinnamon, that was all. And
that is as far as the chief can get in
this peculiar case, and he is not sure
yet when an engagement is an engage

Judge Andrade had to deal with |
three different crowds of gamblers |
brought in by the police since Saturday. |
One bunch, composed mainly of Ha-
waiians, pleaded guilty and were fined
50 and costs each. Nine Portuguese |
were discharged, as the evidence was
not strong enough, and the cases of an |
other bunch went over until today
Judge Andrade now requires direct |
evidence of gambling. Heretofore the !
police raided place, secured what evil
dence they could on the fly, and placed |
those present in the room under arrest. |
The securing of evidence of gambling, |
ETC., was formerly considered prima
facie evidence of guilt. The judge now
requires that direct evidence must be |
put on by the prosecution-that is, that |
some one must testify for the prosecu
ton that he actually saw money won
or lost.
Thos. Gussman, a Spaniard, was com
mitted to the insane asylum. Four sail |
ors, arrested some time ago sleeping in

leased. They will leave the country.

Camp Wellman Spitxbergen.-
Walter Wellman's second attempt

OF three set out on their perilous
flight met with a mishap after 1t

proceeded slowly to the edge of the

and within a short distance where
the start was made.
But the. i'll luck of the expedition
was not yet at an end. Just as the

able for its rescue without serious

broadside and snatched it away from

men Attract Attention of

Pittsburg, PA night of wild
rioting among the striking working
men closed the week at the Pressed
Steel Car Company's plant in Schoen-
Vile. A daring attempt, partly sue
oessful, to blow up the Office build
ing of the company was made. This
was the signal for serious clashes be-
tween state troopers and strike SYM
pathizers, in which dozen or more
men were injured.
Shortly after 10 o'clock Saturday
night more than 500 women and
children gathered about the compa-
ny's restaurant in McKees Rocks and
were partially dispersed by mounted
troopers. One woman, holder than
the rest, stood but of the mob and
drawing gass pipe loaded with
powder, threw 1t at the feet of q
troopers horse. The bomb failed to

means was effective.

beat an entrance into the kitchen of

SEVEN CADETS EXPELLED.
Dismissed From Academy for Haz-
ing Sutton.


West Point, N. Y.-By direction
of President Taft seven cadets were
dismissed by the United States Mill
tary Academy today for being in
volyed in the hazing of Rolando
Sutton Cadet Sutton is a brother
of James N. Sutton. of the Naval
Academy, whose death was investi-
gated at Annapolis recently.
The cadets ordered dismissed are
John H. Booker, Jr., of West Point,
Ca, first class; Richard w. Hooker.
Kansas City, Mo-, third class; Earle
w. Dunmore, Utica, N. Y, third
class; Chauncey c. Devore, Wheel

febvre, Richmond, Va, third class;
Albert E. Crane, Hawarden, Ia,
third class; Jacob Fortner, Dothan,
Ala, third class.
On the morning of June IA last
Cadet Rolando Sutton of the fourth
or plebe class reported sick and was
ordered to the hospital badly bruised
and suffering great pain. He did
not report for duty until twenty
three days later. and his case i'm
mediately became matter of con-
Germ to the upper classmen when 1t
was seen that the authorities pro-
posed to dig to the bottom of 1t.
Before the Board of Investigation
which was ordered, Sutton, true to
the unwritten code of the corps.
proved a most reticent witness. Suit
tons testimony, as Transcribed on
the records, has not been given out,
but the gossip of the tents has been
that though he gave a complete mar
ratiye of his adventures on the
night of June 13, be protested to
have been unable to recognize any
of his ASSISTANTS
One hundred and ffty-seven wit
nesses-a large faction of the to-
tai enrolment OF the academy-are
understood to have been commanded
to tell all they knew.
The broadly spread understanding
here, is that Sutton was 'booed" by
a sheeted ghost" and that when
like a stout-fisted young Westerner
he was appointed from Oregon
he defended his personal dignity
and his duty so effectively that the
ghost was glad to take to the woods,
a relief party of "bobgoblins" de-
scended on him, with tent pegs and
beat him into subsection.
Throughout the investigation SUIT
tons tact and loyalty to his fell
lows have won him high popularity.

heat OF the last few days has killed
more than SO per cent OF the boil
