The trip around the fire houses was

commodate the party.
The first house visited was that of
the Brandywine and there the visitors
found everything in first class condi-
ton From that place the councilmen
visited the following houses in their
order Friendship. Water Witch
Union, Weccacoe and Fame.
The Councilmen we're somewhat dis
appointed upon arriving at the Water
Witch TO find that the new automobile
engine was In the shop undergoing
changes. Edward +. Kane, president OF
that company. informed the party that
il was learned that the springs on the
apparatus we're too light and that
there were "a few minor defects. The
parts needed, he said had been ship
ped from the factory. and he expected
that within a short time the apparatus
would be in service Mr.. Kane spoke of
receiving a hattering report from the
underwriters of the test given the new
engine.
Mr. Kane said the company had
$4,000 invested in its new apparatus
and he considered that 1t was the best
equipped company In the country.
The Councilmen were given ride
on the auto chemical apparatus with
Daniel Corcoran at the wheel.
The Friendship and Union Com

THOUGHT SHE
WAS SENATOR

The dredger South Bay, which
has been working at Pearl Harbor,
gave the waterfronters a thrill of
pleasurable anticipation on Saturday
evening, for they thought that she
was the Senator coming right back
into harbor. A steamer was seen off
the channel for awhile, and then sud
denly the effulgent searchlight was
thrown along the waters of the chan
mel, and the vessel came up. Most
people thought that the Senator was
paying a nocturnal visit in order to
carry out her purpose of inducing la
borers to leave here, but those who
looked forward to further excitement
were disappointed, as the boat soon
proved to be the dredger. She took
up a position ready to go on the ma
rine railway, where she now is.

WIFE BEATER
SENT TO JAIL

A particularly brutal assault com.
mitted by a Portuguese named Fret
tas upon his wife, an Hawaiian won.
an, was tried at the police court this
morning. The woman was found un.
conscious by the police and taken to
the hospital, where she regained con
seriousness and told them that her
husband had struck her and choked
her. She declared to Judge Lymer
that her husband came to her on
Friday and demanded money. where
upon she asked him what he had
done with the half-dollar she had Civ.
en- him on the Wednesday. This per
tinent enquiry brought about the at
tack, of which she remembered little
beyond the first blows and awaken
ing in the hospital. She said that her
husband worked sometimes and that
he gave her money then but at other
times she had to keep him. Judge Ly-
mer asked her how she would get on
II he sent the defendant to Jail. and
she replied that she and her child
would not suffer. Consequently the
court sentenced Frietas to thirty
days Jail without the option of fine.
