Marshal Frierson was shot and
killed Sunday afternoon by Deputy
Sheriff G. E. Austin. 1t is alleged
that Frierson together with others,
was engaged in a game of craps when
surprised by the officers. Marshal
it appears broke for liberty, but did
not succeed in getting out of reach
of the officers handy revolver and re-
ceived a bullet in his back, which
went clear through his body and came
out at the right clavicle. In a report
in one of the daily papers, it was said
that Frierson threw bucks at the Of
ficers. This is denied by those IN
position to know who says that Frier-
son was shot while running An
autopsy was held and it wac con-
clusively shown that Frierson was
shot behind.
| All who know the dead man assert
that he was a peaceable, quiet and
hardworking man, having been en-
ployed by the Federal Phosphate Com
pany for the past nine years. So far
as the Globe has been advised no
steps have been taken for the arrest
of the offending sheriff. When the
dead body of Frierson was examined
no weapon of any kind was found.
The rumor that Frierson resisted
arrest is not borne out by the exami-
nation of the body of the dead man.
The ball entered the back just above
the waist and passed through the
liver and the lungs and came out
lust below the collar bone, which will
show that the man must have been
running at great speed, and in
stopped position. He had committed
no crime, the only offense against
him being crap shooting. He bares
the reputation of being inoffensive.
His mother and wife testified to a
Globe representative that he was
never known to fight anybody, and
the nature of the wound that proved
fatal bares out their statement, for
the only way the ball could have en-
tered where it did and come out
where it did would be at angle and
another that set at naught entirely
the charge that Frierson was resist
ing is the fact that he was shot in
. back.

!, ward the prosecution of Austin ano

In the Davidson County Court last
Monday quite little breeze was
created over the matter of electing a
treasurer of the fund appropriated
by the County Court for the main
tenance of the reform school for the
Negro youth of the county. 1t seems
that matters took quite g change
when the Committee rendered a re-
port.
The Committee on the Colored Re-
form Industrial School appropriation,
through Squire Cheek, recommended
that the court continue the approprla-
ton to the school as heretofore made,
and also that DR.. R. F. Boyd be named
as Secretary and Treasurer to sue
ceed j.. G. Napier, who has gone to
Washington to take up HIS duties as
Register of the Treasury. The re-
port showed IA girls and 22 boys in
the colored school The report also
provides that DR.. Boyd shall make
an itemized report of the expenditure
of the appropriation.
Squire Campbell raised the point
that the court had no authority 10
make an appropriation to amy school
or other organization unless such
school or other organization has d
regular Board of Directors. Judge
Pollard said he understood that when
G. B. Taylor made application for an
appropriation he had been told by
Mr.. Taylor that the school had been
regularly organized.
DR.. R. r. Boyd said he understood
the school was legally organized, and
while he had never served dn an OIL
cial capacity, incidentally he referred
to the fact that he had probably given
more to the institution than the
court. He said he was deeply intel
ested in making good citizens of his
people. He said that he owned the
farm--the old Bill Singer place
on which the school was located, and
while he hadn't received any rent for
the past three years, he hadn't COM
planned much, as he knew the need
of such school for his people. He
thanked the court for past appropria-
tions and hoped the court would con
tinue so to do.
Squire Harwood said he visited the
school on one occasion and the meat
that was fed the children he wouldn't
want a dog of his to eat. He said
TAYLOR was not the proper person &c
be in charge
Squire Cage said he had visited the
school and that conditions were not
sanitary by any means, but that the
place has since been cleaned up.
Squire Hasslock said the appropria
tion was not for Taylor, but for this
school, and if Taylor was not tn'
pl oper man then he should be dis
charged. He said he had confidence
in DR.. Boyd and believed, that If thu
appropriation was made the wrong
would be righted, and he favored 1t
continuance.
Squire Cochran said the reason con
ditions were so objectionable at New
Providence was due to the fact tina
there was no adequate appropriation
for it's maintenance.
DR.. B. G. Tucker, County Healt
officer. said he had visited the inst
tuition at the request Of Squire Gag
J and had found in a clean conditio
and the food wholesome and sufficient

shoes and the bedding new and clear

representative talked freely abou
the matter. He stated that he ol

BETTER FEELING
AS TO BUSINESS

Dun's Review, May 81: Improve
ment in business sentiment still
holds, but it is more manifest in the
East than in the West, and in the So
curities market than in the principal
industries. There is, however, to be
noted some expansion in the demand
for cotton goods, retail trade in par
ticular showing more activity, and
the hope is expressed that the limit
of curtailment of production has
been reached. Larger sales are not
ed in the shoe trade and leather and
hides are more active. In iron and
steel a decided cut is made in the
price of steel bars, and there are fur
Their concessions in the prices of pig
iron. This has had an unsettling eff
feet, not only in the iron and steel
trade, but to some extent in business
generally. Crop prospects continue
to improve and this fact constitutes
the strongest basis for the future in
a gradual expansion of industrial ac-
tivity as the year advances. Mean
while the banks keep piling up addi-
tional cash resources, and their ca
pacity for credit expansion is greater
than in many years, while the admis-
sion of trust companies into New
York Clearing House strengthens the
financial situation to an extent that
is scarcely appreciated, but which
makes this one, of the most impor
tant banking developments in years
While railroad earnings during two
weeks of May decreased 0.4 per cent
as compared with last year, banl
clearings this week make substantial
gains, the increases being 1.9 pei
cent. over 1910 and 81 per cent. ovel

NEW TALENT
FOR THEATERS

BY the Makura this morning there
arrived a lot of fresh talent for the
Honolulu Amusement Co. Since E.
w. Congdon took command, the class
of shows has undoubtedly improved
beyond recognition, and he only awaits
the time when he has been able to
weed out the present "off" turns, for
him to have even better shows. This
morning those old rlvorities Harvey
and Haynes arrived by the Makura,
after successful tour of Australia.
Harvey and Haynes were very sue
cessful at the Park TheaJer towards
the end of last year,
The Wirth family also came on the
Makura, and they will open at one
of the theaters here as soon as pos
sible The Wirths are an excellent
combination, and will undoubtedly as
sist in the raising of a higher stand
that Congdon is aim
ing at all the time.

UNCLE SANS
NEW DREDGER
BY ]. A. RREcKoNs.

Especial Correspondence of the Starr
WASHINGTON, June "a new
type of dredge for operations in heavy
seas has just been designed by the
Navy Department, and it's work will
be watched with interest The dredge
is to be constructed for use in the
Coos Bay harbor, on the Pacific Coast,
where the heavy seas will not permit
the use of the ordinary type. The
plans have been drawn with view of
making the boat able to resist the
heavy wave motion, and it is believed
the completion and trial of this new
type will result in establishing an en-.
tirely new kind of dredge for sea har'
bors with drifting sands.
The new dredge is to cost $350,0OO,
and bids will be invited some time
during the present month. The speci-
fications will call for completion with
in twelve months.
