On Verge of Mysteries.

The man said that he would return this
morning and escort the woman to the
home of her sister, whose name he gave
as Mrs. Rich of 49, West 10th street.
After having satisfied themselves that the
claims of the visitor were well based the
authorities of the home took the woman
in and agreed to care for her until the
return of the man today.
The woman was put to sleep III large
room with five others on the fifth floor
About midnight one of the women went

was acting Queerly and that she was put

the woman pacing around the room, APP

In reply to the managers questions, the

The other women i'm the room say that
after this the new arrival settled down
in her bed and apparently fell asleep.
About o'clock this morning she awoke
again, however. and began the same ex-
asperating pace of the floor that had so
annoyed the others earlier in the night.
Suddenly she hurried to one of the front
windows. threw it up and. before any of
the other five women could intervene, she
threw out her arms and plunged to the
ground below. The woman was later
picked up unconscious and carried into
the office of the home, where a medical
examination made by DIR. Martin of the
New York Hospital revealed the extent
Of her injuries.

AFTER VERY LIVELY DISCUSSION

tell you l won't stand for railroading
such thing through. I'm for Hustace
and will work heart and soul for him,
but I'll be jiggered (and so on) if I'll
stand for instructing the delegates for
any man. No, stree, Jack won't do
that"
At this juncture Hustace came for
ward and explained that the resolu-
ton was an entire surprise to him and
that in view of the objections Just
made, he would rather that the reso-
luton be withdrawn. He said, how
ever, that if the matter were not a
personal one he would say that the
precinct club had a perfect right to
instruct their delegates before cleo
ton. He thought too, that it was
little enough for a precinct to do for
it's own resident candidate. But still
he would ask to have the resolution
dropped.
This did not suit Mr. Chamberlain
and numerous others who cited prece-
dents and argued the propriety of the
resolution with good deal of warmth.
In every instance Lucas interrupted
the speaker and repeated his objec-
tions to the fullest extent of his ex-
tensive vocabulary.
There were several other milder dis
senters who debated the right of at
this time instructing the delegates.
Mr.. Chamberlain was backed up
strongly in the fight of words which
followed
D. l.. Wilmington, who had seconded
the resolution, spoke in conciliatory
manner, saying that he believed the
resolution perfectly in order and that
while it might not be "expedient,"
still it would be all right to instruct
the delegates He chaffed Lucas and
was warmly applauded, but the dis
cussion continued quite as heated as
before. 1t might still be going on
but for the suggestion of someone that
for peace sake the resolution be chang
ed to read that the voters assembled
endorse the candidacy of Charles Hus.

William Rodong, Porto Rican, this

full effort to become a citizen of the
United States. Judge Robertson had
him up once before, but found him so
nazy in his ideas of American govern
ment that Rodong was refused the
privilege of being sworn in as citi-

this morning developed the fact that
Rodong still lacks a good deal of un-

REPUBLICANS NOMINATE
AND LIVELY PRECINCT
CONTESTS ARE NOW ON

Republican precinct clubs had their
nominating meetings last night in ac-
cordance with the party rules. In
most of the precincts there was har-
mony, and delegates to the territorial
and county conventions were chosen
without contest. In two or three,
however, there was a bitter warfare,
and which will lead to lively campaign
ing for the votes next Saturday. Ma
noa, Kaimuki and Kakaako are the
principal storm centers, and in each
case the Lorrin Andrews controversy
is at the bottom of the row.
In Manoa Andrews men and the 9th
er side put up two straight tickets
There was no talk of compromise, and
both sides will work hard next week
Both now seem to expect to win. In
