That Lame Back Means
Kidney Disease
And to Relieve the Lame and Aching Back,
You Must First Relieve the Kidneys

There Is no question about that
at all--for the lame and aching
back is caused by diseased con-
dition of the kidneys and bladder.
1t is only common sense, any way
that you must cure a condition
by removing the cause OF the con-
dition. And lame and aching back
are not by any means the only
symptoms of arrangement OF the
kidneys and bladder. There are
multitude OF well-known and IN
mistakable indications of more or
less dangNouS condition. Some of
these are. for instance: Extreme
and unnatural lassitude and weari-
ness, nervous irritability. heart ir-
regularity, nerves on edge" sleep
lessness and inability to secure
rest, scalding sensation and sedi-
ment in the urine. Inflammation of
the bladder and passages, etc.

Pills are an exceptionally meritori-
GUS remedy for any and all affec-
lions or diseased conditions OF

directly and promptly-and their
beneficial results are at once felt.

tually heal and restore the kid

MUST ANSWER in
FEDERAL COURT
Twenty-Five Chinese Coalpassers
Attack Officers on Steamer
Strathgyle.
(From Wednesdays Advertiser


Twenty-one Chinese who took part in
mutinous uprising yesterday morning
on board the British tramp collier
Strathgyle, were arrested late in tne
afternoon by United States Marshal
Hendry, under warrants issued by Dis
trict Attorney Breckons, and they will
be tried in the federal court, for as
sault on the high seas. Though the
trouble occurred while the vessel lay
at the wharf here, under the rulings in
the Wynne murder case, the offense is
held TO have been legally on the higl
seas, which makes the charge mucl
more serious than if the cases were
tried in the local police court.
The Chinese we're a troublesome 10!
during the voyage here from Newcastle
acc ording to officers on board. Trouble
broke out yesterday when the watch
man at the foot of the gangway refused
to allow Chinese to go on board. The
twenty-one coalpassers on board seized
various weapons and one of them made
for the Waterman with a meatcleaver
The second officer was struck over the
head with an iron bar Revolvers point
ed at the rioters did not stay their ad
vance, but when shots were fired in the
air they retreated.
Captain Baker and several policemen
arrived in response to telephone t.
the police station, and the twenty-onG
Chinese were all locked up. They made
no showing of resistance to the police
but were marched to the station guard
ed by mounted officers.
A question was raised as to what
charge should be placed against the
prisoners and they were booked for in
vestigation until Breckons decided that
1t was a federal case.

BOADSMEN PAU
United States Commissioner Judd
Puts a Stop to Vicious
Practise.
(FTOm wednesday e Advertiser.)

Professional bondsmen no longer
have any standing before United States
Commissioner Albert Judd aud here
after any prisoner who can secure bond
for his release only by paying some
man with money or property to stand
for his appearance when he is wanted
will have to remain in Jail
Yesterday afternoon at the hearing
of Phoney Davis, when United States
District Attorney Breckons insisted
that Davis bail be placed at $1,000, At
torney Straus objected, claiming. that
the amount was entirely too large.
off said the commissioner, ''I re.
duce the bond to $500, can your client
secure it7"
"Mr Davis.' replied Straus, els a
man of some means, of some consider.
able means, might say. And there are
number of men in this town who for
q consideration will sign their names to
bond"
That is about where the ak descend.
ed. "for some time said the com.
missioner, 81 have frowned on profes.
sional bondsmen, and where I have
known that a man was being paid for
going on a bond, have refused to nc.
cept it."
CATER the present session of con.
gress," interrupted Breckons cit will
be against the federal law for any mar
10 60 on q bond for money. A law t.
that effect will be enacted"
tWe arc dealing with the present,
retorted Straus.
"Well, that is my policy, anyway,
said Commissioner Judd "I win moi
accept any bond where have reason
to believe that the bondsmen is being
psid. Furthermore, 1 will require al
bondsmen to swear to an affidavit tc
the effect that they are not being paid
and if find that any man has sworn
falsely, it will be a matter for the dis
trict attorney to deal with"
1t is well-known fact that there
are a number of men of some means
principally Chinese, who make a bust
ness of furnishing bond for prisoners
But this doesn It go any longer in the
federal court, no matter what attitude
the territorial authorities take in the
matter.

WHITE SLvAE
TRIAL SION
Phoney Davis Probably First De
PENDANT Under New Act of
Congress.
CFrom Wednesdays Advertlser.I

The first prosecution in Hawaii under
the new White Slave Act passed by
congress only few weeks ago is liable
to be that of Phoney Davis, who is now
under arrest on charge of having i'm.
proper relations with the Russian girl
Alexandra Kudinova.
Davis was given hearing yesterday
afternoon before United States Com,
missioner Judd and was held to the
grand jury, his bail being fixed at
$1,000. AS a matter of fact, it is well
understood that Phoney has already
been indicted by the grand jury, and
the Indictment will probably be return
ed about next Friday, when the grand
jury is expected to report.
Though the charge under which Davis
had his hearing yesterday concerns only
his personal relations with the Russian
girl it is understood that the much
graver charge will be placed against
him of harboring the girl for immoral
purposes,-in other words, of being en-
gagged in the vicious White Slave traffic
The penalty for the latter offense is at
hikn db NGu NNdlo III Nnt
so Davis is at last face to face with d
crisis in his career.
Attorney Straus was present at thu
hearing to defend Davis, and his Lint
of questioning made it appear that h,
was trying to convince the commits
sioner that Alexandra Kudnova, tn,
only witness against his client at thu
hearing, had been promised immunity
by Breckons if she would testify against
Davis. Straus, however, made nothing
out of this line, the girl steadfastly
denying that any promises had beer
made to her by the United States Dis
trict Attorney. The girl was herselt
arrested some time ago, but was re
leased without trial.
Alexandra freely admitted that sh,
had lived illegally with Davis at hi
rooming house." and this evidence
,, was enough for the commissioner, wht
bound the prisoner over. Straus pro
tested against the fixing of bail al
$1,000 contending that even $500 would
be too much, but the commissioner fol
lowed the advice of Mr.. Breckons.

ALDEN BEsSE'S SCRAP
IRON RETURNS IN BARS

When the Alden Besse arrived in
port Thursday morning from San Pc
dro, on her first round trip from Ho-
nolulu to the Southern California town,
she brought back some of the scrap
iron cargo which was taken up to the
Coast several weeks ago, and which
caused considerable trouble in the
courts. The scrap iron was taken to
San Pedro and much of it was imme-
diately put in a Southern California
melting pot and then reshipped back
to Honolulu in the same vessel in big
bars, consigned to Cation, Neil & Co.
But one of the most important items
in the Alden Besse' 3 cargo list was
consignment of GIT barrels of beer
of Southern California brew Eben
Low of the Miller Salvage Company,
who is member of the "One Hundred
Prohibition - list, diselaims having any
personal interest in the beer shipment,
which comes consigned to a local dealer
in lager Other items in the Cargo
are: 1T tons hay, $4,000 bricks, 3 car
loads sewer pipes, car load plaster,
car load bar iron, 2030 bbls. cement,
5000 fire bricks, 2h tons fire bricks, L
car load of glassware, $50 cases ket-
chup, go bbls lubricating oil, half car
load axle grease and paints, show
cases.
The Alden Besse, commanded by
Captain Miller, made the return trip in
seventeen days. The hay cargo, car
ried mainly on the deck, received
slight voting, but is not damaged.
The Alden BESSIE may be used per-
manently on the San Pedro-Honolulu
run, as trade connections have been es-
tabished with Southern California
shippers and cargoes can always be
obtained there for Hawaii. If fun
cargoes can be loaded here the Alden
Besse may be a pioneer in growing
trade. 1t is quite likely that she may
take up large consignment of canned
pineapples.

BOOZE CLAIMS A
TOLL ON LIFE
Negro Injured in Drunken Brawl
Dies at Queens Hospital
Unexpectedly.

Jealousy having demanded two lives
within the week, speed one, booze,
bound to be in the rank where it has
always been, claims the fourth, At two
O. clock yesterday morning, in the
Queen Is Hospital, Alec Garner, negro,
died from wounds inflicted in drunken
brawl last Friday night.
His death came entirely unexpected
to the police, who we're holding his al
legged assailant trying to connect him up
with a charge Of assault and battery.
That charge, punishable by fine of
a few dollars or Imprisonment for few
weeks, suddenly gives place to the pros
pect of one for murder. The man held
is Joela Andrews, arrested Monday.
At the time the brawl occurred the
newspapers mentioned it in few
words, stating that the negro had been
hit in the head while interfering in a
drunken row and had been taken to the
Queen IS Hospital. Yesterday he died,
to add to the duties of the overworked
coroner.
As yet the police Investigations have
not proceeded far enough to secure ac-
curste details of the fight in which
Garner was injured. AS first reported,
he interfered in drunken brawl near
the Nuuanu stream and had been laid
out by brick from the hands of an
unknown man.
In arresting Andrews last Modsy,
the police claim to have caught the
man who inflicted the injuries. The
1 ..,n t1k ka 1,l,IH tcl,k
establish the fact, or at least, il prov
ing Andrews innocent, point out the
guilty man.
An autopsy was performed by DR.. Q.
B. Wood yesterday on the body of Gar
ner, and the results showed that he died
from a fractured skull. The frontal
bone had been driven into the brain
and the fracture had been concealed by
large swelling.
The hospital authorities had no rea-
son to believe that Gamers injuries
were, or might be, fatal, as the negro
talked nationally the day before his
death, complaining Of a headache only
Tuesday night he began to act as though
demented and jumped from his bed. He
| was finally induced to return and was
soothed to sleep. He died a few hours
later.
The deaths so far during the week
are as follows: Monday morning, Mrs.
All Hoo Ahsui, murdered through jeal-
ousy; zap Hen, a suicide through the
same reason; j. M. Barboza, killed in
stantly by speeding automobile, and
Alec Garner, sacrificed to the demon
rum. The last was a "bad Niger, }"
in police parlanee, but the booze vas
worse.
