SOLD HIS
NIECE TO CHINAMAN
FOR A DRINK or GIN
tFrom Saturdays Advertiser.) }

NIIOm sodIuIudy AuNeTllseI.)
The local police yesterday took up
one of the most serious cases which
they have tackled for some time and
last night had reached point where
they could safely say that the net is
drawing about one of the most in
human criminals that have appeared
ON their records for months.
The case centers around the assault
of thirteen.year.old Tema Sheldon, sis
ter of Anna Sheldon, who barely
escaped murder at the hands of her
lover several months ago. Tema was
literally sold for a bottle of gin last
Sunday and was threatened with witch
craft and the violence of kahuna if
she reported the criminals to the
authorities. Afraid of her life, she re-
manned silent until confession was
forced out of her by her mother.
Tema and her uncle, according to the
story told by the girl on Sunday, were
fishing for shrimps in Kalaea Bay on
the "other side" when two Cinnamon
approached them. The uncle called to
one of them and upon his approach
offered to sell the girl to him if he
would buy him something to drink.
In few minutes the Chinaman re.
turned with a bottle of square face
gin and took the girl. Later he re-
turned and aided the Hawaiian dispose
of the liquor, keeping the girl by him
and threatening her with death if she
mentioned his guilt to anyone. To this
her uncle added other threats, and
promised to set the kahunas on her if
she as much ms mentioned his com.
plicity in the crime.
1t was not until yesterday that the
mother 5 suspicious were aroused suf.
ficiently TO act and the matter was re.
ported to the district police at once,
who referred it to the more complete
machinery of the city. Sheriff Jarrett,
Chief McDuifie and other officers went
to Koolau at once and apprehended the
second Chinaman and the uncle, but
were unable to locate the chief actor.
1t is now believed that he will not re.
main long at liberty. The maximum
penalty for the alleged crime is death.
The girl is in serious physical con,
dition.

Makes Three Demands
on Mexico for Victims
Of Mob.
MAY SEND CRUISER
Asserted That Torturcs
We're inflicted on
Chinese.

MEXICO CITY, june 1O.-Chiua will
demand an indemnity of twelve million
dollars, an apology to the flag and aid
for the families of those Chinese mas
sacred at Torreon and elsewhere.
China has learned her lesson and
learned it well of seeking indemnity
for outrages upon her tizens, but it is
stated that there is little chance of her
securing an indemnity as many of tho
Chinese who were victims Of the mob
which ruled in TorreOn. following its
capture by the insurgents, were nat
uralized citizens of Mex co.
Will Push Demands.
The Chinese ambassador at Washing
ton has instructed the local Chinese
charge d 'affaires to push the demands,
and it is stated that a Chinese cruiser
viii be dispatched to Mexican port to
enforce the collection of the indemnity,
if need be.
The latest reports show that 303
Chinese were killed in Torreon on May
20 and 81, and that ffty-nine Chinese
establishments there were sacked by
the lnsurrectos and mob.
Tortured Their Victims.
Stories in circulation here are to the
effect that horrible atrocities were per
petrated upon the Chinese during and
after the fighting, many of them be-
ing killed with tortnres. Both fac
tions are named as having taken part
in the muredrs.
Throughout the State of Coahuila
many of the Chinese have fled, some to
Chihuahua and Others to this city.
Refugees from Torreon tell terrible
tales of the butchery.

RAILWAY CONDUCTOR
HAS NARROW ESCAPE

Lee Todd, the veteran conductor of
the Oahu railroad company, who recent

the road week ago, met with a serious
accident on Thursday while his freight
train was at Eva.
He was standing ON the roof of a

when the train began to back. In some
way, yet unaceOuntable to Todd, the
back of his head came in contact with
a projecting something aud he was
knocked down and then rolled from the
roof to the ground. Fortunately he

RELATIVE OF NOTED
ENGLISH LORD HERE

Capt. II. L. Brassey, an English
army officer, who has been serving in
India and is now en- route to London,
arrived on the Persia and will remain
over here a short time. He is a rea-
tive of Lord and Lady Brassey. known
throughout the world as the titled
couple who eruised in the yacht Sun
beam, their cruise including Hawaii.
Lord Brassey, the owner, was a man
famous in the political and naval his
tory of England for half a century,
and as tough an old sea dog as ever
trod n deck. He is quite an old man.
He has been an enthusiast on the sub
leet of educating young Englishmen as
sailors. 1t was due to Lord Brassey's
persistence that the British Govern
ment established the second class naval
reserve, recruited from the fishing and
sailor population of the British Isles,
and intended to be valuable support
to the empire in an emergency,
He was the founder and first editor
of the Naval Annual One of his pet
charities is the Sailors Institute, to
which he gave $4,000 in one year and
has aided constantly. From 1895 to
1900 he was Governor of Victoria, and
in 1856 was created baron, being
named for the honor by Mr.. Gladstone,
whom he supported Loyalty for many
years.
One of Lord Brassey's most popular
books was "a Voyage in the Sun
bean, published in 1878 by Lord
Brassey's first wife. Though now an
old boat, the Sunbeam is fitted up lux
uriously.

world. In 1903 she made scene at the
White House in Washington, where she
tried to interview President Roosevelt.
About two years ago she made a trip
to Europe to continue her temperance
crusade, but met with very cold re-
ception and was glad to return to the
United States. Her husband, David
Nation recently secured a divorce
from her.
Mrs. Nation was born in Kentucky,
near the home of Senator Blackburn,
with whom she went to school. Her
first husband died a dfunkard with de.
lirium tremens, and from that time
she took up the work of temperance re-
form in most aggressive manner and
was the terror of all saloonkeepers IN
every city she visited. For the past
year she met with little sympathy in
her erusading efforts and last January
she was taken with the disease which
has caused her death.
