BECOMES MYSTERY

Road Revolver Fight
Disappears
YOUTH AT POINT OF DEATH
Frank Howard Injured, Tells His
Story of Encounter with
Horse Thief
YOUTH AT POINT OF DEATH

The shooting of Frank Howard, 81
years old, who is lying at the point
of death in the Whittier hospital with
bullet wound in his abdomen as
result of a running revolver fight with
a Mexican Thursday night On the Whit
tier road, near Jordan road, five miles
cast of the city of Whittier, has de-
veloped into a mystery which the local
authorities so far have been unable to
solve.
Sheriff Hammel. accompanied by a
number of deputies, Thursday night
searched for the man who is supposed
to have shot Howard following an
argument between them over a stolen
horse. The sheriff returned from Whit
tier yesterday morning without any
clews as to the whereabouts of the
wanted man, but left again in the
afternoon for San Fernando on a clew
which may result in an arrest. Up to
a late hour last night he had not re-
turned.
Fearing that Howard would die from
his injuries, Chief Detective Prowne
of the district attorneys office and
Deputy District Attorney Hill went to
the hospital late yesterday afternoon
and secured an ante-mortem statement
from the dying Arizona cowboy in
which he told of the shooting and the
circumstances.
BUYS STOLEN HORSE
According to Howard's story. the
man who shot him sold him horse
for $50 which it is said the Mexican
stole from Howard's employer, c. A.
Friend a rancher near Santa Ana, for
whom he had been working the past
six months Howard said Friend told
him the horse had been stolen and for
him to try to find it for him Howard
stated that he saw the Mexican riding
the horse on a road about seven miles
north of Long Beach, and upon recog-
nizing it as the one stolen he bought it.
He could not give any description of
his assailant other than that he is a
Mexican and wore overalls and black
slouch hat. He said he had only seen
him twice previous to The shooting
Thursday night. Howard declared he
fred only two shots and that the Mex
lean fired one.
Il could not tell whether my shots
hit him or not. because after he fired
at me he galloped away toward Whit
tier" said Howard. "I was riding
along the road on a horse toward
Whittier and the Mexican from whom I
bought the horse came up to me from
behind. I asked him where he was go
ing and he replied he was going into
the foothills beyond Whittier. We rode
n few feet farther and he turned and
fired at me-"
According to reports received from
Santa Ana, Howard is alleged to have
stolen a horse from Friend, his en-
ployer Tuesday night. which Friend
caught him riding as he rode from a
livery stable at Long Beach. When
asked where he had procured the horse
he replied he bought it from the man
who had stolen it from Friends ranch.

JOURNEY NEARLY
ENDS IN DEATH
Fence Keeps Auto From Plung-
ing Over PreCipice on the
Pail Road.

Only the strength of the railing and
the tanning of the brakes prevented
a big auto from plunging over the Pail
yesterday morning to certain destuc.
ton six hundred feet below. The auto,
which contained five tourists and the
driver, an employee of E. II. Lewis,
was being driven from Honolulu on the
round'the-island trip, and when part
way down on the Koolau side, at one
of the turns, the auto drove straight
for the fence which is set on the edge
of the precipice. The brakes were set
but not before the machine had crash
ed into the fence which was shaken
and splintered. But the fence held and
the auto was saved from going over.
For the tourists 1t was probably one
of the narrowest escapes they ever had.
There is absolute need of the most

finally, after lengthy argument, decided
adversely, on that ground that, the writ

NEW WORK FOR
HAWAII COLLEGE

If the plans of President Gilmore are
carried out, department of marine
biology will be established in connection
with the College Of Hawaii and ma
rine biological experiment station viii
be maintained for the purpose of expert
menting with fishes, sponges and other
sea life. The project will probably be
brought to the attention Of the next
legislature and an appropriation will be
asked for the purpose of carrying on
the work.
At present there are no facilities
here for biological research work
among the inhabitants of the deep and
comparatively little is known concern
ing the possibilities of Hawaiian
waters for raising sponges, various food
fishes or shell fish. The faculty of the
College of Hawaii has received many
inquiries from scientists regarding the
conveniences here for research work,
and in each case it has been necessary
to send back word that at present there
are none.
The extensive fish hatcheries main
tanned in most of the maritime States
Oh Ine Union were eStaDllSneu as
direct result of the reports of the
biological experiment stations devoting
their time to marine research work, and
it is believed that not only can many
new industries be developed here, but
that the quality of the food fishes can
be improved and the price reduced.
1t is believed by those who have Civ
en- the matter. some attention, that
sponges can be raised to good advan-
| tage in Hawaiian waters. Some of the
best spOnges in the world come from
about this latitude and scientists de-
clare that there is no conceivable reason
| why experiments along that line should
not be successfully carried out.
1t is pointed out that food fish Is
more expensive here than should be the
case in an island Territory located in
this cline, and IL is believed that scien.
| tifically conducted hatcheres would
make a great change in this regard. The
| college does not contemplate nndertak-
ing raising fish for the market but 1t
does propose to experiment with the
view TO telling those who may embark
in the industry just how they can carry
on their work 10 the best advantage

STILL PLANNING A
BIGGER STRIKE
Efforts Now to Call Out All
the Union Men in
Pennsylvania.

PHILADELPHIA, March 16.-The
federation of labor 'has directed all the
labor unions in the State Of Pennsyl-
van.. to take vote on the matter of
ordering general sympathetic strike.
The order extends to all kinds of labor
throughout the State, and is pre-
liminary move to attempting a complete
tying up of all lines of industry in
which union labor is employed. The
radicals in the unions urge such a
strike, unless an agreement satisfactory
to the unions is reached in the Phil
adelphia street car strike.
Union leaders were in conference to-
day with the director of the rapid tran
sit system of Philadelphia. The object
of the conference was to reach basis
of settlement under which the strike of
street railway employees may be called
off.
The conference was without any def
mite result. The car companies decline
to make any concessions.

(From Wednesdays Advertlaer.l

H. p. Wood, secretary of the promo.

last night on the steamer Lurline, en-
route to Atlantic City, where they will
look after Hawaii's exhibit. The pine.
apple scheme which was such a big hit
at the Seattle exposition is to be car.
ried out again. Sliced pineapples will
be served at the Hawaiian exhibit,
and it is confidently predicted that this
feature will make as big hit at At
lantic City as it did in Seattle.
The material for the Hawaii exhibit
is to go forward by the freight steamer
virginian. The original intention was
to send it direct to San Francisco and
ship across the continent, but the pros
pect of railroad strikes in the West
caused change of plan, and the stuff
will be sent across the Isthmus. II
consists, of couple of thousand dol
lars worth of curios, the pineapples

Seattle.
Wood will be away several months
and in the meantime w. j. Cooper will

TRUSTEES DENY
QUEENS CLAIMS
Say in Answer That She Was
Advised Instrument Was
IrrevocabIe.

The three trustees of Queen Liliu-
okalani's trust deed, A. s. Cleghorn, w.
o. Smith and Curtis P. Iaukea, yester-
day fled their answer to the suit
brought against them by the Queen for
restitution of her property recently
conveyed to them by the deed of trust.
The answer is, in general, a denial
of all the charges made by the Queen,
particularly the charge that she did not
know and was not advised when she
signed the deed of trust that it was
irrevocable. The defendants contend
that the Queen was fully advised by
both A. S. Humphreys and w. o. Smith,
who drew up the deed of trust, that it
was not in the nature of will but
that it would be irrevocable and could
only be amended by consent of the
trustees.
The statement is made in the answer
that the Queen first consulted Humph-
reys in regard to the final disposition
of her property, and after talking it
over with her, he suggested that deed
of trust would probably meet the re
quirements of the situation more effec-
tually than will. She agreed to this
and asked him and w. o. Smith to
draw up the deed of trust. This they
did. The Queen, they say, did not rely
merely on the advise of counsel of Tau
kea, nor did he refrain from informing
her that the deed was irrevocable. Be
fore she signed the instrument. it was
read aloud to her by Humphreys and
carefully explained.

complications when he arrived here Es-
berg hunted up Stackable for the pur-
pose of having the name on the pack
age, which was listed on his declara-
ton, corrected.
After stating his case and with the
idea of showing Stackable that he knew
some good people in San Francisco, Es-

decoration of a Japanese temple. Fol
