Draw New
Ordinance
for Cafes

The saloon ordinance was not
before the council today. Judge
Stiles sent in new ordinance title
which was read and will probably
be substituted for the old one,
thus putting final passage of the
ordinance OF at least another
week. W
ALI morning the judge was busy
rewriting the ordinance and 1t was
not ready at noon. When 1t is
fixed 1t Will probably be in for
some more haggling. The oppon-
ents of any restrictions on the sa-
looms are expecting to keep up a
contention over the thing until
they get all the teeth pulled.
In the meantime it remains. to
be seen whether Petit, Freeland
and the mayor, who were elected
on distinctly moral issues, will
permit this sort of thing togo.
If they do there will probably
be some music.

GIRL BEATEN TO DEATH

that the girl put the rope around
her own neck. The child's hands
were firmly tied when she was
found.
Officials could not find any evil
dence that either Lewis or the
woman deliberately planned the
crime, although they are con-
Ivinced that both saw the child in
her death throes.
The floor of the attic of the
Rumball house, where the girl
was found, gives evidences of
the desperate struggle she made
to regain her feet.
Feeling Runs High.
Hundreds of persons viewed the
scene of the little girls death to-
day, and feeling is intense.
1t is reported that Lewis was
caught destroying az gag which
had been placed in the child's
mouth. The torment of the little
victim, tied hard and fast in the
hot attic, must have been excruci-
ating.
Reports that Mrs. Rumball tried
to commit suicide last night in
the county Jail were denied today
by the officials. Her GOODNESS in
confronting the charge is the
cause of indignation over her cal
llousness.

CHICO, Cal, June 28.-Be-
cause Helen Rumbel, aged 13,
whose father died two months
ago, MIXED only two of three
cows, her stepmother, Emma
Rumbel, and stepbrother, Lewis
Rumbel, beat and choked her to
death yesterday.
The mother and son have been
arrested and taken to Oroville to
prevent lynching, as the citizens
are in a frenzy over the outrages
perpetrated on the girl. They
will be charged with murder.
Her stepmother said she COM
mitted suicide, but investigation
showed she had been choked and
was mass of bruises all over her
body. When the autopsy facts
were brought in the stepmother
confessed she had beaten the
child, and Lewis had tied her in
the attic and that she tainted.
She was left there after they had
thrown several buckets of water
on her to revive her, until death
came.

and locked up in a Jail provided

The crippled girl is Sadie Bak-

Jumping from the seventh story OF

an who recently arrived from
Honolulu on the steamer Sierra

The note was unsigned.
Accompanying this missive was
a sealed and stamped envelope of
large size addressed to Charles K.
Gushing, Needham, Mass.
The troubles referred to by the
suicide are a mystery. Miss Cush-

day. and with Miss Marsh. another
passenger on the boat, went to

to her to be careful.
"I'li be careful, don't fear"
was the reply, and the woman
left.
Within Ave minutes afterward

ton. There she found Miss Cush-

COURT REPORTS
need PRINTING

The Territorial Senate believes that
The reports of the United States Dis
trict Court of Hawaii should be pub
lished, ana that forthwith. In accord
ance with this view the rather unusual
course was adopted this morning of
passing an appropriation bill, carrying
$1,000 for that purpose before the bill
has been referred to committee foT re-
port.
The bill was introduced in the upSer
house by Senator Judd, and when it
came up on the order of the day this
morning for reference to committee,
Senator Cecil Brown suggested that the
necessity of the bill was so plainly evil
dent that it ought to be passed on sec
ond reading at once
Speaking in support of the bill, SEN
ator Judd stated that the reports of the
u. S. District Court have not been
published since 1905, and that the de-
cisions are Of great interest to attor
neys and the public, and should be
made easily available.
Five hundred copies would he pub
lishcd under the provisions of the bill.
The money expended would come back
on sales.
