the entire first floor was ablaze.
Awakening her husband he grabbed
two of the children, rushed for a STAIR
way, but it collapsed. The two child
rem were lost while the father was
thrown to a point of safety and made
his escape. Mrs. Harding, seeing the

his heart is on the right side, Edward

WHY WOMEN
SUFFER FROM
NERVOUSNESS
One Result Of a Form of Debility
That May Be Remedied by
a Course of the Tonic
Treatment.

Many women suffer from nervous
ness, accompanied by loss OF weight and
pallor, showing that there is loss of
nutrition and that the blood is becom-
ing deficient in quantity or quality.
This is condition that may be follow
cd by serious consequences unless cor
sected. To cure it the failing nutrition
must be arrested, the patients weight
and strength built up and the blood re-
stoned 10 its normal condition.
The one remedy that has cured this
condition, strengthened the digestion,
toned up the nerves and made the blood
pure and rich is that described by Mrs.

TO PUT BUSINESS OF
COMPANIES ON FILE
WIDE POWERS GIVEN IN BILL
TO SUPERVISORS OVER
CORPORATIONS.

With no comment, and only the dec
laration by Representative Ed. Towse
that he was introducing the bill by
request and wanted it shown so on the
records, H. B. No. 1874 was introduced
and referred to the printing committee
yesterday after passing first reading by
title.
Few if any of the representatives
realized what the bill meant or what
would happen if it passed, but there is
likely to be some fireworks before it
is sent to the Governor.
The bill authorizes the boards of
supervisors or legislative bodies in the
various counties to secure information
from public service and utility corpora
tions, partnerships, companies or firms,
as to the details of their businesses.
The legislative bodies of cities or
counties, are authorized to fix rates
OF compensation charged by public SER
vice corporations operating under any
kind of a franchise and engaged in any
kind of public service, including trans
portation, or the furnishing of light,
water, heat or power. Another clause
brings telephone companies into the
category.
The corporations are to be required
to file annually a detailed statement of
their business for the preceding year,
gross cash receipts, amount of money
expended for property purchase, i'm
provement or maintenance, plant OF
equipment. 1t is provided that there
shall be no discrimination between
patrons, and clause provides for com
plants.
Any violation of the franchise terms
or orders of the boards of supervisors
is to be followed by forfeit of the fran
chise, this being emphatically provided
for, and the supervisors are to be
spurred on to their duty by provision
that any supervisorial board which fails
or refuses TO carry out the terms OF
the bill may be removed from Office or
the suit of any interested person.

MAEEKAU KILLS THE
VACCINATION BILL

The pct vaccination bill of the house
of representatives is dead. Makekau,
the statesman of Hawaii county has
done the deed. The bin was reported
favorabiy by the committee in the SEN
ate yesterday with few minor amend
ments relating to "scarifers." The
only aearifed thing in the senate, how
ever, was Makekau.
Makelau discussed at length the fear
and trembling that would seize the ma.
tive Hawaiians when they learned of
this bill, which, he declared was only
for the purpose Of making II cheaper for
the doctors.
If Makekau had been a Chauncey De.
pew he might have seized upon the fact
that the printer made q mistake In the

and made a pun out Of Il but Makelan

ESCAPES TRIAL ON
THE MAJOR CHARGE
lFrom Thnrsdarla Advertlser. J


After many months Of weary legal
process, technicalities won out in the
trial Of Edward E. Lane yesterday be-
fore Judge Cooper in the criminal de-
partment Of the circuit court. The court
rendered decision sustaining the de-
murrer interposed against the indict-
ment by Douthitt & Coke, Lane g at
torneys, and the defendant was dis
charged He was taken back to the
county Jail where he is serving a year
on the vagrancy charge which the city
attorney first placed against him and
which has prevented further prosecu-
tion on a charge that might have re-
suited with one imposing a ten times
greater penalty.
A plea in abatement was first entered,
which took up a week of the court q
charges Of grand jurymen violating
their oaths, near-impeaehment proceed
ings against City Attorney Cathcart,
vindieation for the former and humble
pie for the latter.
After Judge Cooper ruled that the
grand jury had jurisdiction in the case
at the time it had returned the indict-
ment and had no prejudice against the
defendant, the demurrer, which has just
been sustained, was interposed.
The decision yesterday probably ends
for once and all the attempts of the
police department and the "fghting
grand iuryn TO see what they believed
was justice done against the desires OF
the city attorney.

OLDS MUST PAY
HEAVY PENALTY
CRIMINAL ASSAULT on GIRL
COSTS HIM FIVE YEARS
IN JAIL

Five years at hard labor is the pen
atty which Edward olds will pay for
the saturday night racket" as his
attorney called it yesterday before
Judge Cooper, that sentence being inn
posed on him for criminal assault
on girl under age about three months
ago.
Yesterday saw the end Of a two days
trial Of Odds, together with james Evans
and Isaac Ahoo. The jury, after being
out several hours, reported mistrial
as concerned Evans and AhoO, but
found Odds guilty.
Despite a plea for leniency, on the
ground that he was "only boy and
not regular criminal made by At
torney Andrade, Judge Cooper handed
down one of the warmest "rOaSts" if
such an unjudicial term is permitted,
that has ever been given in that court
room.
The case against the three boys-one
of whom, however, james Evans,
negro, has reached mans estate
shocked the entire community some
time ago, when it was reported that
they had assaulted three girls, after
carrying them, gagged, from the side
walk back Of the Art Theater to the
half built auditorium.
They were tried separately on more
serious charge and acquitted, or rather
Evans was, and the cases against the
others nol-prossed, as they were the
same in effect. They were then re-
arrested and charged with minor
charge, carrying maximum penalty of
five years. 1t was the maximum which
Olds received yesterday.

Judge Cooper, 'tto sit through these
two trials and suppress my personal

Andrade gave notice of motion TO
a new trial, after taking exception t.
the verdict.
He also asked the court whether h
would continue to try the other tw,
men after making the statement tina
he had, and while Judge Cooper main
tanned that he was not disqualified b.
hearing the case, he afterwards ad
mitted that his feelings, as expressed
} in his statement, might influence hin

BILLBOARD REGULATION TO COME BEFORE THE
LEGISLATURE IN SHAPE OF PROPOSED BILL

trash and rubbish with which they are
now Uttered and have the place made
generally respectable.
To the legislative committee has been
left the matter Of the sidewalk trouble
to contend with. The members are to
try TO get a measure passed which win
in some way straighten out the tangle
which exists between the territorial
powers and those Of the eoInty. At
the present time no one seems to have
direct charge Of the affair and the
sidewalk conditions are becoming dis.
graceful. Every committee that made
a report brought out the same facts
and they were all agreed that some
thing should be done to have the mat
ter attended to-
A one-sided Law.
When the matter Of fences came up
for discussion new light was thrown
on the subject by Byron o. Clark.
Under the regulations which exist at
the present time matters in regard to
fencing are slightly mixed. AT the
present time, y he told them, elf cat
tie stray on to your unimproved land
then You can take action against the
owner, but if they happen to get into
your garden, which comes under the
heading of improved land, then you are
poweries to act. !"
This is a state of things which
makes it useless to try and receive
any redress of the fence nuisance and
a special committee of three is to be
appointed to take charge Of the mat
ter and bring it before the legislature.
To control BilbOards.
The meeting was dead against the
present unsightly billboards which dis
figure the town. After discussion, G.
Ii. Dickey moved "That it is re-
solved that the improvement club rec
ommend to the legislature that they
pass law prohibiting the use Of bill
boards outside the FIRE lines of Homo
lulu, or any other city which may make
fire limits. Also that the written au-
thority must be secured of all those in
terested owners of real estate within
thousand feet of the proposed board. -
The president said that the mer-
chants association had been in COM
munication with several cities on the
mainland for some time past, and that
special committee was at work on the
subject of legislation. They had draft
ed law which they thought would have
the desired effect and which they in
tended placing before the legislature.
Finally it was decided that the legis-
lative committee should work in with
the merchants association on the
matter.
The Kaimulti and Kaahumanu i'm
provement clubs brought up the matter
of having a ten-minute service estab
lished on the car line through their dis
tricts, and the matter was left in the
hands of the committee.
