A SURPRISED CAT.
Gautier's Pet and Its Experience With
Parrot.

Parrot.
OF all cat stories the best is one told
by Theophile Gautier, the French nov
elist. He kept many cats, the favor
lite being Madame Theophile," and she
was his constant companion by day
and night. One day friend, who
was going away short time, brought
Gautier a parrot, to be taken care Of
during his absence. The bird, finding
itself in a strange place, climbed up
to the top of its perch in a rather
frightened manner. Madame Theophile
had never seen parrot before and
regarded the creature with manifest
surprise.
After a period spent in profound
meditation, summoning up all the no.
tions of natural history she had picked
up in the yard. the garden and on the
roof she plainly came to the conclu-
sion that the newcomer was a green
chicken. This result attained, the
next proceeding of Madame Theophile
was to lay herself fiat on the floor,
like a panther, watching her prey
The parrot did not like this at all; it
ruff1ed its feathers and ratified it's
chain uneasily. Then Madame Theo-
phile came creeping nearer, her nose
Quivering, her eyes half closed, while
slight thrills of pleasure ran along her
backbone at the idea of the meal she
was about to make. Another moment
and she sprang upon the perch.

FAMILY BELIEVES DEATH
OF CHANSL0R ACCIDENTAL
Suicide Theory DIscredited by ReIa.
tives Who Live in Los
Angeles

That John Chanslor, retired mer-
chant of Los Angeles, who met death
by drowning at Waikiki beach, Homo
lulu, last Saturday morning, did moi
commit suicide is the positive belief
of his family in Los Angeles. They
place absolutely no credence in the
theory advanced by the authorities al
Honolulu that the aged merchant COM
mitted suicide.
Mr.. Chanslor had been in i'll health
for a year and was troubled with diz-
ziness if he arose suddenly. 1t is the
belief of his family that he suffered
a dizzy spell while on the pier and
fell into the ocean. AS no one was
near to lend aid he drowned, his body
being found by natives.
Two days before the cablegram was
received giving news of the death, g
letter was received stating that Mr.
Chanslor was rapidly improving in
health, and that the party intended
returning in three weeks.
The body has been cremated In Hon.
olulu and the ashes will be brought te
Los Angeles for burial. The son, with
the ashes of his father, will leave Hon
olulu on the Hiloan, which sails today
Short services will be held on arrival

SHOOTS AT NEGRESS
AND ELUDES PURSUIT
Officer and Crowd Unable to Catch
Black Who Threatened to XIII
Husband and
Wife

After firing two shots at close quar-
ters at Sallie Harrison, a negress liv-
ing at 1107 Mateo street, Tom Watson
a negro, made his escape by superior
sprinting ability and eluded Patrolman
Williamson and crowd of angry ne
groes after chase of more than
mile.
Watson who also lives at 1107 Mated
street, met the woman near her home
late yesterday afternoon. He drew q
revolver and remarked that he was
going to kill her and her husband
The woman seized the weapon
wrenched it from the grasp of Watson
and threw 1t to the ground. She then
walked toward her home and paid nc
further attention to him.
Watson picked up his weapon, over
took the woman, and grasping her by
the shouler, fired two shots in rapid
succession at her. One of the bullets
grazed her head and the other clipped
a piece of cloth from her clothing near
the shoulder.
Several persons saw the act and ran
toward the negro. They chased him
a short distance and were joined by
Patrolman Williamson.
The fugitive crossed the bridge at
Ninth street and ran east. He had a
good lead and gradually drew away
from his pursuers. AT Stephenson ave-
nue. he eluded his pursuers and no fur
ther trace of him could be found.
The husband of the woman told the
officers that watson had threatened to
kill himself and wife.

MAN GIVEN FINE OF S25
Driver of Taxicab Accused of Going
at Rate of Thirty Miles
an Hour

r. e. Rogers, chauffeur of taxicab
No. 905, who ran into and painfully in-
jured c.. S. Matthews of Santa Bar
bara at Seventh and Hope streets Sat
urday evening, was fined $25 by Police
Justice Rose yesterday for violating the
speed ordinance.
Rogers pleaded not guilty to the
charge and declared that he was driy-
ing his motor car at no more than nine
miles an hour Several persons who
saw the accident testified that the ac-
cused was going at the rate of thirty
miles an hour when Matthews was
struck.
That the injured man was not seri-
ously injured or killed is due to his
presence of mind. He was crossing the
street, and when he saw that he could
not avoid collision with the rapidly
moving taxicab he sprang into the air
and landed on the hood of the auto.
Matthews sustained bruises about the
body and his shoulders were sighted
sprained.
Two women were occupants of the
cab at the time of the accident. They
were going to a depot to catch train.

his auto at forty miles an hour in the

An unsuccessful attempt was made
to blow the safe in the office of the
Matsuo Stationery company, 604h West
Sixth street, late Sunday night. A gang
of burglars, evidently amateurs, ex-
ploded a charge of nitro-glycerine that
knocked over the safe, but failed to
force open the outer doors. The men
then turned their attention to the cash
register and obtained $24
The attempt to crack the safe was
discovered yesterday morning when the
proprietor opened the place. He found
the safe overturned and number OF
wet sacks and an outfit of safe blowers
tools on the floor.
The same burglars, it is thought,
forced an entrance to the barber shop
of H. Nakagama, at 606 West Sixth
street, ransacked the place, but took
nothing. The matter was reported to
the police yesterday morning, and de-
tectives are working on the case.

PLAN BIG TAG DAY
Orphans Home and Mckinley Home
TO Receive One Thousand Doll

Successful

phans' home and the Mckinley Indus
trial home, are to benefit to the extent
of $1,000 each by the annual Tag day.
of the Associated Charities, If plans
of the Tag day committee are success
full.
President Frank of the Associated
Charities announced yesterday that
the Tag day committee had decided to
donate $500 each to the two homes If
the proceeds of the sale of tags May
amounts to $4,000. Should the sales
amount to $4,000, the two institutions
mentioned each will receive $1,000.

became known yesterday a great i'm
petus was given to Tag day, and di-
rectors of the two institutions that
will also be benefited by the sale OF
tags expressed themselves as greatly
pleased. Volunteer workers for the
cause of charity on Tag day were nu-
merous at headquarters, $40 Chamber
of Commerce building, and the indi-
cations are that more than 1000 men,

GRAND JURY IN
MOOD TO INDICT
FORMAL ACTION MAY COME
TODAY Is BELIEF
Inquisitors Who Have Been lnvestl.'
eating Protection of Vice Nearly
Ready to Submit Final
Report

With every indication pointing to
the return of indictments, which, with
the filing of final report, will mark
the completion of it's labors, the spe-
cial grand jury, appointed to investi-
gate charges of protected vice, held
comparatively short session yesterday,
adjoining at 3:45 o'clock to meet again
at 10 o'clock today.
That two, and possibly three, indict-
mentS will be returned today and the
jury discharged Thursday. at the lat
est, was the general belief around the
district attorneys office and in court
house circles yesterday. Two indict-
ments, if returned, will charge bribery,
while the third, if the jury believes it
has enough evidence on which to base
an accusation, will result in the arrest
of a recent witness on a charge of
perjury.
Session Deliberative
The session yesterday was a deliber-
ative one, District Attorney Fredericks
and the deputies who are aiding the
jury in it's inquiry being in the secret
chamber only a short time: No wit
nesses were called, and it is believed
the investigators will close up their
work without waiting for the appear
ance of either Earl Rogers or Nathan
Cole, for whom, it is said, foreign sub
poenas were issued last week.
While the jurors were holding an
executive session in the district at
torney's private office, Mr.. Fredericks
and Deputies Mccormick. Ford and
Horton were gathered in earnest con-
sultation in the office of c. c. Nc

body being permitted to interrupt their
discussions. An hour later Mr.. Fred

ing Mr.. Mccormick and Mr.. Ford in

No intimation of the object of their
work or what the jurors expected to
do could be gained.

Durand for refusing to answer ques-
tions propounded in the grand jury
room was dismissed by Judge James
