LOPEZ ACQUITTED.

Salvador Lopez, charged with the
rape of a japanese woman on a fed
eral reservation, was found not guilty
by the jury at u o'clock today, after
the jurors had been out seventeen
minutes.
BY this verdict both Leon Straus,
attorney for the defendant, and c. c.
Biting federal prosecutor, win their
main contentious. Straus frees his
man; Biting secures a ruling that
land leased to the federal government
comes within the jurisdiction of the
United States district court.
The latter point was the real rea-
son for the prosecutin of Lopez. The
defendant was already serving a five
year sentence for robbery, but in that
case he pleaded guilty and the ques-
ton of jurisdiction was not settled.
So the government pressed the rape
charge, which, upon conviction, car
ries with it a sentence of death, IN
order to settle the question of iuris-
dlction.

NIELSEN WAS
VERY ELUSIVE

The truth is out with regard to o.
Y. Nielsen who was arrested on the
arrival Of the steamer Mauna Kea last
Saturday in accordance with wire.
lessed instructions from the HiIo 20.
lice.
It appears that Nielsen and Julio
Augustine had a squabble over a mat
ter-of money and that Nielsen settled
the matter by grabbing the cash
jumping into an auto and speeding
away.
He neglected to blow his horn, SC
was arrested for violating the auto
ordinance.
Released to appear on his own rec
oenizance he failed to appear il
court and a bench warrant was is
sued for his arrest.
In due course Nielsen appeared be
fore Judge Wise and was fined 81,
and costs for forgetting to blow hi
horn. He paid his fine
he was then charged with larCen.
and contempt of court and was agail
released on his own recognizances
The Mauna Kea was sailing in
short time, however, so he gail
jumped aboard and proceeded to He
nolulu
Sheriff Pua was hostile over tn
way in which Nielsen had treated hir
and on Sheriff Jarrett wirelessing fo
instructions as to what to do with tn
prisoner replied that he should brin
him back at once.
Jarrett accordingly went to Hilo o
the Mauna Kea last Tuesday with tn
elusive Nielsen in his keeping.

es elucidation for the impression
that there is u law which forbids
the publisher to send his paper TO
any person unless paid in advance,

II he SO sends Il. A postal regula-
ton provides that weekly papers
shall not send papers after sub
scriber owes one year, and daily for
over three months unless the pub
Usher pays extra postage on those
papers
But this ruling has no bearing
whatever on the liability of a
subscriber and it has been repeat

subscriber who continues to take
paper from the postoffice or
carrier Is liable or payment OF

To ProIona Life of Needles.

The girl in small apartment need
no longer crowd her rooms with ar
ungainly sewing machine or else run
up long seams by hand. There are
fascinating handpower machines that
fit into small boxes that can be put
out of sight in a bureau drawer when
not In use.
Keep on hand supply of needles
in all numbers, as II is most annoying
when a needle breaks to have to send
to the store before a seam can be fin.
ished. Needles can have their life pro
longed by rubbing on milestone to
new point when blunted.
The finest needle can be easily
threaded by holding a white paper on
opposite side OF the eye to make the
hole more prominent.
