ARMITAGE GIVEN
CLEAN RECORD

The long drawn out Holt-Armitage
case came to a sudden close yester-
day afternoon, following the argu-
ments of e. c. Peters on behalf of
Armitage, and w. B. Lymer for Holt,
when Judge Robinson rendered a de-
cision to the effect that Armitage was
not guilty of having violated his trust
the court clearing him of all charges
Of fraud brought against him by Holt.
The case was in the court for weeks
and Armitage was on the witness
stand much of the time.
Holt brought suit for recovery Of
the Kalia property, at Waikiki, Ar
mitage's home for many years, and
other property which the plaintiff de-
clared he had conveyed to Armitage
in trust to manage for him He ac-
cused Armitage of fraud in not ac-
counting and in claiming the Kalia
property as his own Armitage claim
ed that the property, except the Ka-
liza parcel, had been conveyed to him
as security for debts owed to him.
The Kalia property, he said, was a
gift to him.
The court sustained Armitage as to
the other property but held that he
had been honestly mistaken as to the
Kalia property. A master is to be
appointed before whom the parties
will present their accountings. Holt
may get the property back provided
he can pay Armitage what he owes
him.

YOUNGS POCKET
BOOK TRACED

R. w. Warham, proprietor of the
Manhattan restaurant, denies that
Henry Young, the stranger who was
drugged and robbed on Friday night,
woke up in his place at II a. m. on
Saturday, as stated.
He further states that Young came
into his restaurant at 2:45 a. IN. on
Saturday morning and remained till
5:15 a. m. While there he made a
statement to Charles Penny, the night
manager, that he had been robbed
previous to entering the restaurant.
The Manhattan restaurant is very
carefully conducted by Mr. Warham
and he does not wish any report to
the contrary to be circulated.
Young's red pocketbook has been
found. 1t was picked up on street
in Honolulu on Saturday by a Pearl
Harbor employee, and handed over to
the proprietor of local saloon. Some
valuable papers were in it but none
of the money which should have been
there, consisting of five $50 bills, one
$40 bill and two $40 bills.
The police are working on the mat,
ter and McDuffie is interested in the
fact that a chauffeur fined in the
police court on Monday for driving
without light paid his fine out of a
$40 bill.
OF course, there may be nothing in
this clue, but $40 bills are not com
mon currency in Honolulu, and one OF
this denomination was lost by Young

MURDER TRIAL
NEAR ITS CLOSE

The prosecution IN the Mcmahon
murder case practically rested yester.
day afternoon, though District Attor-
ney Breckons did not formally close,
but stated that he had nothing more
to offer and would close tomorrow. At
torney Andrews for the defense asked
for an adjournment until tomorrow
morning, which was granted. When
court conyenes tomorrow the defense
will probably begin putting on its wit
neSses.
Though the defense mas not outlined
its course, it is taken for granted that
self-defense will be the line chosen.
Cross-examination by Mr. Andrews,
however, has thus far failed to de-
velop his defense.
Captain Clifford Game, quartermas-
ter, United States army was the last
witness put on by the prosecution. His
testimony, together with the reading
of a number of exhibits which includ.
ed the official order setting aside Scho-
field Barracks as a military reserva-
ton, was intended to establish the
jurisdiction of the court This, Mr.
Breckons contends has been fully
done.

MISS GAFFNEY TO RETIRE.
Economy of County Board to Result in
Retirement of Competent Official.

As result of the extreme economy
of the county board the county is to
lose one of it's most valued officials
At the meeting Of the board on We'd
nesday resolution was adopted dl-
recting the county agent to employ a
clerk and stenographer for the county
Judge and the clerk of the circuit
court at salary not to exceed forty
dollars a month Miss Belle Gaffney
has most competently filled these po-
sitions for the past five years and her
services to the county have been such
as to make her one of the most popu-
lar of the county IS officials. At the
salary suggested by the board 1t
would be impossible for high grade
court official like Miss Gaffney to re-
main in Office and she announced to-
day that she would retire. Miss Calf
ney has not given her entire time to
the work, but her service has been so
intelligently rendered that with an ex-
pense little greater than that set by
the board she has been of greatest val
ue to the two offices.

No more important work can be done
by educators than to raise the rural
schools to higher standard of eff
cheney The committee Of the National
Educational association which is in
vestigating these schools with the pur-
pose of recommending far-reaching
remedial measures should receive all
the aid chat can be given it by those
who wish to see country boys and girls
given better education.
The little red schoolhouse" of pio-
neer days did much good. 1t taught the
rudiments of knowledge to many who
became intelligent men and women, but
something more than the rudiments is
demanded now, in the country as we'll
as in the city. If jewellers in the coun-
try are to be made satisfied with their
environment, and the boys and girls
kept on the farm, they must be given
education that win open their eyes to
the whole world of knowledge.
The committee will try to devise
plans for uniform school laws in the
different states, for state aid to weak
districts and state supervision of
schools, for better teachers and for uni
form courses. Enumeration of these
principal needs shows how deficient
our present rural schools are and how
great a reform may be accomplished
through the adoption of general, ade-
quate plan.-Reeord-H Herald.

HENRY CURTIS DEAD
Father of G. FL. Curtis Died
at Prairie Avenue Resi-
dence on Wednesday.
INVENTOR OF MUCH MACHINERY

Henry Curtis, aged II years, father
of George Fl. Curtis of the Chicago
Kenosha Hosiery Company, and himself
AN employee of that company for the
past twelve years, died at the home of
his son on Prairie avenue just after
four O'Clock Wednesday afternoon.
Death came as q result Of natural
breaking down due toj advanced years.
Mr.. Curtis had been indisposed for the
past two weeks, but up to Wednesday
morning he had shown no warning of
the approach of death. Even on Tues
lay evening he had been about the
house and yard and had insisted that
he felt like returning to his work.
Mr.. Curtis was born in Cairo, New
York, Oct "a, 1884. When he was ten
years of age he came to Chicago and
early in life he learned the trade of
a cabinet maker. He began his work in
Chicago in the early ffties and mang
of the older buildings in Chicago were
furnished by his handiwOrk. Among
others was the old Chicago court house
he having built the furniture for this
building. For number of years he
gave up his time to the study Of har-
vesting machinery and he made several
inventions along this line and for
time was employed in the experiment
department Of the Deering Harvester
Company. The harvester which he
built in 1881 was one of the first ma
chimes of the kind built in thu country.
Twelve years ago Mr., Curtis gave up
active work and came to Kenosha to
make his home with his son, but he
chafed against the idleness of a re-
tired life and later went to work with
his son in the factory. He remained
at this work until shortly before his
death.
The deceased is Survived by three
children. Lewis E. Curtis of Chicago,
George II. Curtis of Kenosha and Mrs.
Eva Curtis Kass of Chicago.

The police claim that because un-
tagged dogs are running about the
streets it does not follow that the own
ers have not paid their licenses and
they are backed up in this contention
by many dog owners 1t is almost I'M
possible to force some of the dogs to
wear tag and their owners cannot
get duplicate tags after the one issued
with the license is lost. The police, of
course, do not claim that they may not
have missed some of the dogs in their.
canvass of the city, but they do claim
that they have made a very thorough
canvass Of the city, each officer having
been given certain district to cover,
and that there cannot be any very
large number OF dogs missed under the
system of collections adopted by the
department. Inasmuch as the money
for the license fees goes to the police
pension fund it is only natural to sup
pose that the officers have made spe-
cial effort to get them all in. However,
or 1ers have been given to check up all
untagged dogs found ON any of the
streets at any time and this constant
policing should result in all vagrant
dogs being destroyed within q short
time.
