CHINESE RIOTERS
BURN A MISSION
chang-sha Agitation Against the
Foreigners Extends Through
the Province.

CHANG-sHA China, May 11.-Anti-
foreign rioting has again broken out in
this district and it is reported that thu
Yuen Chow mission has been destroyed
by the rioters. No loss of life is re.
ported, but those in charge of the mis-
sion are reported as fleeing toward this
city for refuge.
This is the seventh mission to suffer
so far in the riots, which began as rice
riots and have developed into race
riots. On April II, in this city, the
Catholic, the Norwegian and the Inland
mission buildings were burned and the
American Episcopal and Wesleyan mis-
sions were looted. The first reports
sent out announced the Yale mission
safe, but it was burned in the later
rioting.

Dolliver and Cummins Denounce
Tariff as Aldrich's Scheme
for Robbery.
PRESIDENT IN BAD HANDS
Dolliver Says Taft All Right, but
No Match for Schemers
Surrounding Him.

DES MONIES, Iowa, May l1.-Sen.
ators J. P Dolliver and A. B. Cummins
addressed great gathering here last
night ins the opening meeting of the
political campaign for the Republican
insurgents announcing that the fight
now on was to be one of the progressive
wing Of the party against the reaction
aries. Both speakers attacked the
Payne'Aldrich tariff as a scheme of
legalized robbery by the manufacturers
against the country.
Senator Dolliver made no personal
attack against the President, but scored
the President IS associates and closest
advisers numerically. He said that
Taft was . good man but one who did
not know how to handle the men he
had around him, who knew exactly
what they wanted and how to manin,;.
late affairs and secure legislation to
get it.
Senator Aldrich he referred to as a
man Aimed to and bound up with the
trusts. He was the senatorial repre-
sentative, declared the speaker, of tOe
Guggenheims, of Thomas F. Ryan, Of
Paul Morton, of the mammoth trust
that had secured the monopoly of the
production of rubber manufactures in
the country, whose charter allowed
them to secure the monopoly of the
coal lands of Alaska and allowed them
to go into any industry that they might
desire to and force out competition.
Both speakers announced that the in
surgents in the house and senate would
never yield, but would fight until they
had forced the Republican party con-
troll out of the hands into which it had
drffted during the past year.

BREWERY HAS
SPECIAL CLAIM
Can the Legislature Deprive 1t
of a Long Term
Charter?

The brewery has a joker up its
sleeve in the present campaign, in the
claim that even # prohibition passes,
it can not be put out Of business be-
cause it is operating under charter
which has definite term Of years to
run. 1t is claimed that the legislature
can not terminate this charter, at least
without compensating the stockholders
Of the brewery, and even if prohibi-
tion law is passed, the brewery will
probably insist on its right to go ahead
with the manufacture and sale of beer,
and if it Is forcibly prevented from
doing so, it will claim damages for its
stockholders.
The law under which the brewery is
operating was passed in 1908. Some
time after that it was taken advantage
Of The law in question authorized the
treasurer to grant license for the
brewing and sale of malt liquors in
the Territory, for the term of ffteen
years.
Under this law, the brewery was in

is a contract which the Territory can
not suddenly set aside. IF the legis.

BOOTLEGGER IS
FOUND GUILTY
Jury Convicts Harry White of
Peddling Booze by
Automobile.

Harry White, the automobile man
accused of peddling booze among the
soldiers of Leilehua, was convicted yes
terday afternoon by the jury of the
United States district court. The jury
was out only about five minutes before
returning its verdict.
Whites defense was that no was
only acting as delivery man to carry
to the cavalry post liquor previously
bought by certain of the soldiers, but
this tale wasn't received by the jury
as the defense hoped it would be. The
jurors took the position that White
was himself peddling the booze, and
found him guilty.
T. NJ. Harrison, Whites attorney,
objected to the verdict as being con-
trary to the law and the evidence anu
gave notice of a motion for new
trial. The motion will come up for
argument later in the week. White q
sentence is set by Judge Robertson for

CLAIMS COPS
ARE CROOKED
Lightfoot Charges Which Police
Say Are Criminally
Libelous.
(From Wednesday 3 Advertiser J


Charges of manufacturing evidence
we're made against Chief McDufie and
Officer Kellett by Attorney Lightfoot
in the trial of Nakumara and bunch
of other Japanese charged with gam,
bling, and yesterday, in arguing his
motion for y new trial, Attorney
Lightfoot virtually repeated the
charges. The Japanese were found
guilty last week, except two of them,
who we're discharged, and Lightfoot
fled motion for a new trial.
Lightfoot's motion for a new trial
was based on the following grounds:
First, that during the trial there
were exhibited before the members of
the jury certain seven dice which, he
claims, had nothing whatever to do
with the case, therefore tending to
prejudice the jurors.
Second, that the prosecution had re.
ferred to the defendants as "bums
and loafers," when there was nothing
IN the evidence, says Lightfoot, to
show that they were such.
And third, that Chief McDufie ana
Officer Kellett, in giving testimony for
the prosecution, testified to having
seen things through hole in the wall
which it was absolutely impossible for
them to have seen, as demonstrated by
an examination of the aforesaid hole in
the wall, in other words charging Me.
Duffie and Kellett with false testimony.
Judge Cooper took the matter under
advisement, stating IN doing so that
the first and second grounds would
give him little difficulty, but that, if
he granted a new trial on the third
ground, he would virtually be declaring
McDufie and Kellett guilty of swear
ing falsely. This, he said, would me-
cessitate his putting the matter into the
hands of the proper officers for inves-
tigation.
The police consider the accusations
of Attorney Lightfoot to be unjust ia
such an extent that Lightfoot has open
ed himself to charge of libel, at least
Lightfoot gave the Judge and jury
what he called a practical demonstra
lett were unable to see anything
through the knot hole by taking the
jury to the place where McDuffiC
caught the men and posting then
around the building.
At the time neither McDuffe nor Kel
lett were with the party and, says the
police, Lightfoot managed to aim the
jury in such a manner that they could
see little or nothing McDuffie. whC
is willing to make this statement or
the stand, wants to take the Judge
and jury himself to the place to show
them the manner in which the gambler:
were caught.

POLICE THOUGHT
THEY HAD GRACE

Yesterday the police nearly caught
Grace That is, they would have done
SO if Grace had been in the neighbor-
hood where they thought he was, but
thorough search by five hundred peo-
pie failed to reveal him.
Opinions as to who saw the nigger
first differ-almost as much as they
would have done if the nigger had
been caught and it became matter of
awarding the prize money. The bal
ance of accusations point to a drunken
native who scared himself out of
seven years growth by seeing Grace
in ravine. He not only saw one, but
dozen, Judging by the terrified yelp
that came from him and the speed with
which he removed himself from the
slopes of Punchbowl hill.
lie told a family near by of his un-
precedented discovery but he had pre-
viously told the population of Punch
bowl and looking out of the window,
the family concluded that somebody
was having domestic trouble and so
telephoned the police.
Sergeant Kahanamoku sent Officer
Abraham Kawaihoa to the spot on a
DlCycle. hHen AlDTdndm got Lnere one
hundred and fifty people were whoop-
ing it up all over the scenery and they
told him that they had Grace cornered
in a ravine. Abraham nearly had a
ut and beat it to telephone. He was
SO excited he could hardly talk, but
ne managed to tell the sergeant that
Grace was on the eve of capture. The
sergeant told Chief McDuffie, who, not
finding a member of his staff around,
impressed Captain Baker and an officer
of the bicycle patrol and took them up
in an automobile so fast that King
street looked like the tail of HALEY s
comet.
Ordinarily, McDufie only takes re.
volver when he hunts Grace; this time
he took Winchester rifle and a belt
of cartridges.
When they got TO Punehbowl there
were Ave hundred people in condition
of wild excitement.
The ravine being pointed out Ia
them, they all assembled around II and
creeping up through the lantana
(Which divested them Of most of their
outer garments), they made a concert

AUTOMOBILISTS
GO SCOT-FREE
Breakers of Speed Limit Plead
Guilty and Are Given Sus-
pended Sentence.

The twenty-eight automobile men
who were convicted in the police court
of speeding and who were fined, go
free with no fine to pay. They appeal
ed to the circuit court and yesterday
the case came before Judge Cooper.
The defendants all entered plea of
guilty-and sentence was suspended for
six months. This means that the
speeders may go about their business
without further trouble, though the sen.
tence still hangs over their heads in
case they are arrested again within six
not thirteen-months for the same
offense.
