one day iu the spring OF 1890, I was

i'm his time. was famous as an editor
and author, and sOu-ln-laW OF Wllilah

OF that yoke Of bondage.

Mr. Curtis had shared the publishing

gave notes for the amount owing by
his old firm. and then began lecturing.
Up and down and through the country
he went year after year, delivering his
lectures, and every cent n money that
he made I'm that way went TO take up,
one after another, the notes that he
had given. Every cent, / say, went for
this purpose for he lived on what he
made as an editor.
Finally there came the day when
he wanted 20 pay "a certain note. but
could not locate its holder, and, greatly
worried, he hunted up his old partner
and told him the circumstances. Why

wonder that he felt as though he had

A little over two years after Mr..
Goodwin told me this story the news

WILHELMINA CASE
Still UNDECIDED
Defense Moves for Discharge
Without Introducing
Testimony.

The hearing in the case of the twenty
four members of the crew of the Will
helmiua who are charged with breaking
quarantine came to end yesterday, so
far as the prosecution and defense are
concerned, when, after the prosecution
had presented its case, Attorney George
A. Davis declined to put on any wit.
nesses, but moved for the discharge of
the prisoners on the ground that no
case had been made out against them.
Commissioner Judd was not quite salts
fed on one point and expressed n desire
to ask Doctor Bamus a few questions
in regard to the orders he gave the
stevedores. AS Doctor Ramus had gone
to Hilo with Secretary Mott.Smith, the
hearing was continued until two o'clock
next Monday afternoon, when it is
probable that the commissioner will rem
der his decision.
The last witness put on by the prose-
cution was the night watchman who
stood Mt the foot of the gangway while
the Wilhelmina was lying alongside the
wharf. The Waterman testified that
certain persons passed up and down on
passes signed by Doctor Ramus; further,
that the stevedores, several shifts of
them, went up and down without let or
hindrance and without passes. No other
persons, he said, were allowed to pass.
1t was also testified to that the very
nurse who took care Of the smallpox
patent was allowed to go ashore on a
pass. The testimony showed, also, that
all the members of the crew had been
vaccinated before the vessel came along.
side the wharf.
All this testimony for the prosecution
Attorney Davis took as being in favor
of his men, and he promptly moved for
their discharge on the ground that 1t
had been eonclusively shown that no
real quarantine existed; that although
some members of the crew might have
been forbidden to go ashore, other per.
sons were permitted to do so. Such
discrimination, he said, demonstrated
that there was no real quarantine;
unless the vessel were quarantined in
strict accordance with the rules of the
marine hospital service, she was not in
quarantine at all, and consequently the
crew could not possibly have broken
quarantine.
The refusal under the circumstances
he said, to allow the crew to go ashore
was clearly discrimination, and, as such
was violation of the constitution
Davis also claimed that it had not been
shown that the men had been properly
instructed that the vessel was in quar-
antine. They had not been mustered
and had not been informed individually
He therefore moved for their discharge
Commissioner Judd, as stated above
said he1would like to ask Doctor Ramui
what orders, if any, he gave the steve
dores who were allowed to go aboard
the vessel And as Doctor Ramus hat
gone to Hilo, he would like to continue
the case, until his return. This was &C
cordingly done, and the matter will b
decided next Monday.

SITE
AGAIN IN AIR
Rudolph SpreCkels Proposes New
Block as Location for the
Building.

A new proposition for site for tho
proposed federal building came up yes.
terday, when Rudolph spreclSels, in a
conversation with Governor Frear, sug
gested the property owned by the
spreckels estate and bounded by Mer.
chant, Queen, Alakea and the proposed
extension of Bishop street.
Mr. Spreckels, Governor Frear stated
yesterday afternoon, made this propo.
sition only tentatively. He said that
IL the Mahuka site we're not satisfac-
tory and were TO be abandoned, and no
other site offered itself, he thought the
property above mentioned would make
good site for the federal building as
soon as Bishop street shall have been
cut through, according to present plans,
to the waterfront.
1t has already been decided to cut
Bishop street through, the government
having agreed to pay Spreckels the sum
of $4,000 for the land needed for the
extension.
The area of the block suggested will
be virtually the same as the block in
which the Mahuka site is situated, and
the land would be good deal cheaper.
There is already $35O,000 appropriated
for the purchase of the Fort street lots
adjoining the federal building site ac-
quired, but the owners of the property
refuse to sell for that amount and II
will be necessary to resort to condemna-
ton proceedings to obtain it. The Gov
ernor and the Delegate have already
recommended that condemnation pro
ceedings be started. AS he stated yes
terday, he is decidedly opposed to the
Mahuka site unless the entire block
shall be obtained. And, says the Gov
ernor, it will take long while to get
the land that way, especially if any of
the owners take an appeal.
Has Made No Move.
''when / came into Office, y said the
Governor yesterday, 81 considered the
question of the site of the federal build
| ing as settled, and although ! was al
ways in favor of the Irwin site, l did
not feel like making any move in the
matter after / became Governor.
Asked as to what action he was likely
to take, Governor Frear said he did moi
know that he would take any action
He would like to know how the public
feels in regard to changing the site
again. AS to how this expression Of
opinion is to be obtained, the Governo
suggested that mass meeting nigh
be called, or the commercial bodie
might take action, or, perhaps, posta
card vote might be taken.
The Mahuka site, Governor Frea'
thinks, could probably be sold fo
nearly enough to purchase the entir'
block proposed by Mr.. Spreckels as
site for the building.
The entire proposition, so far, is il
the air, and the administration woul'
like to get an expression of opinion
from the public that is to use the fed
eral building whenever it is finally con
structed.

MISTRIAL IN
ROBBERY CASE
Jury Unable to Agree on Guilt
or Innocence of Two
CavaIrymen.
mon Thursaav.a Advertlaer.l

The jury in the case Of Edward Bunce
and Walter White, two cavalrymen
charged with robbery in the second
degree, after being out more than nine
hours, reported at nine eight O'Clock
last night that it could not agree The
jury was therefore discharged and the
case will have to be tried all over again.
The two cavalrymen were charged
with robbing French woman of Iwilei
of her bracelets and other jewelry.
Testimony given in court was to the
effect that while the alleged robbery
was going on bold policeman stood
outside the door calmly talking with
another man who happened along about
that time. He didn't know anything
about the robbery until after il was
all over and the men had gone, when,
hearing an cutlery, he rushed wildly in
to inquire what was the matter.
City Attorney John Catheart, assisted
by A. S. Humphreys, prosecuted and
Leon Straus defended the two men ac-
cused of the CRIME. The case went to
the jury at twelve-two yesterday. The
Jury came in several times during the
afternoon and said they were unable to
arrive at verdict, but each time they
were sent back TO try again. But at
nine-eight they came back again and
announced that it was utterly impossi-
BILE for them to agree, so they were dis
charged The final vote was ten for
conviction to two for acquittal.
