Objected to Setting Aside Ver-
diets of Two Different
Jufies..

SEATTLE, Wash, Nov. 17.-If two
different juries had decided a case in
your favor, and then a judge set aside
the verdict and gave Judgment against
you, what would you do?
Mrs. Christina Olson answered this
very question by trying to h~orsewhip
Judge John f. Main, and now she faces
a charge of contempt of court and mus
also stand trial for assault.
The Olsons have been in the country
only a few years. Olson is a painter.
They are thrifty and Woodworking. So
when the agent of the house they rent
offered a discount of $500 for twenty
months rent. they eagerly accepted
and received a receipt from him.
Shortly after that the owner ap-
peared on the scene and the discovery
was made that the agent did not have
her consent to give the Olsons any dis.
counts. The agent was arrested, but
the matter was patched up in some
manner, and he has disappeared.
Then suit was brought against the
Olsons for the $500. A jury trial was
decided in the Olsons' favor. A new
trial was asked and again the jury. de-
cided for the Olsons. This time the

SUPPOSED DEAD,
SAID TO Be ALIVE
Witness Tells Hudson Coroner
That Herbert Angler Is
Living.

That Herbert Angler, who was sup
posed to have persisted in the explosion
of barge No. 8, of the Pure Oil Com
any in East Newark ON October 30,
is alive was the startling statement
made by George Taylor, second en-
gineer of the barge, at he ~coroner,s
inquest, held in Jersey City last night.
TIE inquest was held to inquire into
the death of oswald Olsen and Herbert
Angler. The former died in the City
Hospital several days after the ex-
plosion, but Angler was supposed to
have been in the boiler-room of the
barge and blown to atoms when the
accident occurred. Matthew Boylan,
the coroner. asked Taylor where Ang-
Ter is living. Taylor declared he did
MOI know, but he saw Angler four
days ago. The coroner did not ques-
ton the witness further.
Many persons who were present at
the inquest confessed themselves mys-
titled on account Of the testimony of
several eye-witnesses of the tragedy,
who were positive Angler was aboard
1T the time of the explosion. The
wreck was searched and the river
dragged In an effort to his
body. 1t cannot be understood why
Angler, If alive, allowed everyone to
Believe him dead.
The c~oroner's jury decided that it was
impossible to state whether the Leak
ing gasolene which caused the ex-
plosion and death of Olsen was due to
carelessness or not.

DEMOCRATIC HEAD
YET TO Be CHOSEN
Hudson Selection Probably Will
Be Dictated by Two
II Mayors.

JERSEY CITY, Nov. 17.-rIt was ex-
peeted that Sheriff Nicholas p. Wedin
would also go South to join Mayor
,Wittpenn and other politicians, but he
concluded that Lakewood would be a
more desirable resting place, and he
went there yesterday with his wife.
Mayor~elect Cronin. of Bayonne, who
is in the South, and Mayor Wittpenn
have been close friends for several
years. 1t is believed that the Hudson
County political situation will be dis
cussed at Hot Springs, n that the
two Mayors will agree upon a program
that may include the selection of a
party leader. With Cronin and Witt
penn working together along the same
lines it would mean a strong combina-
ton. However, nothing definite could
be accomplished without taking into
consideration the wishes of Sheriff
Wedin and Patrick r. Griffen, of Ho-
boken, n John Mcmahon, of North
Hudson. All indications point to Demo-
cratic harmony for the first time in
two years.
So far as the party leadership is con-
cerned, 1t is not likely that any action
viii be taken until after the first of
the year. BY that time Mayor Wittpenn
will have made his appointments and
Chairman James Hennessey, of the
County Committee, will have announced
the executive committee, which will
have much to do with the management
of the affairs of the party.
Although Frederick Rider, private
secretary to Mayor Wittpenn, has de-
c1ared that he would not oppose City
Clerk Michael !. Fagen for reelection
It is known that his friends are work
ting quietly in his behalf. A number of
aldermen have been asked to vote for
Rider. So far as is known Rider is
the only candidate against Fagen.

John Mott, the veteran plumber and
hardware merchant, who came to the
lslanus IRON New York about forty
years ago, prominent in mercantile and
official NE IN Honolulu ever since, died
yesterday afternoon at four O'Clock at
mis- resIuence. on kinau street, after a
slight illness lasting about a month. His
illness was not serious enough to keep
him from his business,s for Yesterday
morning he went down to his shop on
Merchant street, as usual, remaining,
however, for only an hour, when he was
compelled to return to his home. At
the time of his death he was surrounded
by his family.
John Mott was born in Bristol, Eng
land, and was seventy-nine years Of
age, or nearly seven at the time Vic
toria was crowned Queen of England, a
circumstance which he remembered
well, for his father, who was made a
Freeman of the City of Bristol, marched
in the procession, while he, as a member
of Sunday school, stood in front of
the church and watched the procession
go by. He witnessed the coronation
celebration of King. Edward VII. and
King George v. in Honolulu, and so
had the honor of having attended the
celebrations of three British coron-
atoms.
Mr.. Mott celebrated the thirty.ffth
anniversary of his wedding in Honolulu
on 1890 and again in 1905 he celebrated
the tiftieth anniversary, Mrs. Mott dy-
ing in 1909.
For many years during Mr.. Mott g
early residence in Honolulu he was
prominent in the affairs of the Volun-
teer Fire Department, the days of the
red-shirted and helmeted brigade, which
did yeomen service at fires, and for
some time was chief, an honor which in
those days was more sought than some
of the cabinet positions.
During all his residence here, Mr..
Mott was engaged in the hardware and
timing business, but in recent years
disposed of his hardware interests and
lately, when the Elks took full control
of the building in which they now have
their home, Mr.. Mott removed his tin
smith shop from King to Merchant
streets. In spite of his nearly eighty
years, Mr.. Mott was an unusually active
man, and worked at his trade almost up
to the time of his death. He was at
one time member of the advisory
council under the Republic of Hawaii
He was n member of the Oceanic
Lodge of Masons, formerly Lodge LIE
Progress and under the auspices of the
lodge the funeral win be held on Sun
day afternoon at two O'Clock from the
Masonic temple. Mr.. Mott left surviv-
ing him brother and sister, the lat
ter resident of New York, and sew
eral daughters. including Mrs. Conkling,
the eldest. who lives in New York; Mrs.
Fred Harrison, Mrs. J. Haglund, Mrs.
Raseman, Mrs, L. Brown, all of Homo
lulu, and son, who is on the mainland

Has Been Approached.

al don't know anything about tho
matter and / am still practisng law
was tho answer Of a. L. c. Atkinson
last evening to a question as to his
candidacy FOR the position Of collector
Of customs to succeed the incumbent,
f. r. staokAble, which has been Tumor-
cd around town for several days.
It appears from present indications
that there is TO be a triangular fight
on for collector of this port, Lloyd
Conkling, territorial treasurer, Stack
able and Atkinson being in the run
ming for the job, and behind it all a
scheme of the merchants to Dust the
incumbent of the collector s chair.
Collector Stackable has made many
enemies among the members of the
business community in several ways,
and he has alienated the support of
some of the steamship agents on ac-
count of the summary manner in which
he has dealt with the opium question
at the port.
By his orders men have been taken
from vessels which were lying in Ha-
waiian ports, and the vessels obliged
to sail shorthanded on more than one
occasion, and when the cases have come
up in court or before the grand jury of
federal court the men have been dis
charged as there was not evidence
enough against them to hold them as
being identified with the smuggling of
opium.
c. P. Morse, agent of Ameriean-Ha-
waiian line, at one time few months
ago when men were beng taken from
one of the vessels of that company
told the collector, man to man, that
he should be sure of the evidence
against these men before they were
taken off vessel and the ship made to
60 to sea short.handed. This statement
was brought out on the witness stand
in the federal court within few weeks.
When Atkinson was asked last even
ing as to his stand in the matter of
the collectorship, he protested entire
ignorance of the whole matter, saying
that he had heard nothing of it except
what he had read in the newspapers.
cit looks to me as If some move
was on foot among the Importers of
Honolulu to make change in the col
lector of the port, " said he, "but per-
sonally the matter has never been men
toned to me, and i am still practising
law" he concluded, smilingly.
From superficial observation it
would appear that Atkinson, like Bar
kis, is willing, but he refuses absolute
ly to make any statement on the af-
fair and processes the densest ignor-
ance of the move to make him the sue
cessor of Collector Stackable.

COFFEE AND CIGARS
INTEREST K0NA

Kona has shown great Improvement
recently, said Inspector t. II. Gibson,
who returned from that district yester-
day by the Mama Loa. He looks for
ward to greater prosperity in the near
future. The chief causes of this op-
timism are the coree raising and the
tobacco growing, two industries that
are making great progress.
Mr.. Gibson was enabled TO sample
some of the cigars that are being turned
out by the K0na Tobacco Company and
they proved excellent. The tobacco in.
dnstry is giving much employment 10

SCHOOL NEEDS
keep ON GROWING
Number Of Pupils Increases by
212l During the Past
Ten Months.
tFrOm saturdays Advortisor.l

The latest report from the depart.
ment Of public instruction, shows that
there has been an increase Of 2,12l
pupils in the public schools, as com.
pared with the figures at December
last year. Superintendent Pope stated
yesterday that the enrolment has now
reached 1896. The number of pupils
at December last was 20,245.
There are now 157 schools in tho
Territory with 5sS teachers, principals
and supervisors, 92,S66 pupils, accord,
ing to the October report, and the cost
for the month was $43, 222.3S, Oahu has
thirty.six schools, To manage these a
teaching and supervising staff Of 22s
is necessary. The attendance was g..
1888, and the cost of maintenance was
$1s,35S.99. Kauai has seventeen schools,
housing 1890 pupils, with teaching
staff of seventy, and the cost is $4,922.-
Is. Mani has rorty-four schools, ITO
of a teaching staff, Sr65s pupils, and
the cost is $7,6s5.Os. Hawaii has the
greatest number of schools, sixty, $50
teachers, $500 pupils, and the cost of
maintenance is $12,26ll3. OF the mum
Der of regularly appointed teachers,
supervisors and principals employed,
there are seventeen supervisor princi-
pals and seven special teachers.
In all, for October, it cost $43 ,222.-
SO to conduct the schools. The legis-
lature made an appropriation Of $45,-
900 a month for maintenance. This
amount is never absorbed each month,
said Mr.. Pope, because it is always
necessary to keep at least $1,000 on
hand in case of emergencies. The sur.
plus from October, for instance, is not
carried over to November. Any money
that is not used one month reverts to
the treasury.
