the distance between Hawaii and divi-
sion headquarters at San Francisco
throws continual obstacles in the way
of the satisfactory transaction Of Off.
cial business. 1t takes so long Tor
letters and papers to go by the. mail
that official business is often held up
in most unsatisfactory manner. Then
again, the Western Division officials
are not thoroughly conyersant with
conditions here, and cannot direct the
work of the army on Oahu as well as
could some one on the ground, armed
withsthe proper authority.
The second reason for the plans
favor locally is that for some time past
troops stationed at Schofield have
realized the desirability of general
officer to command the post. As 1T is
at present, the senior colonel, to whom
the post command falls, is forced to
let 90 of many of his regimental du-
ties, to administer the affairs of the
big brigade post, and tits hard; to sat
isfy all arms of the service, no mat
ter how faithfully or disinterestedly
the commanding oficer works. IL Ell
Their an infantry, cavalry or artillery
officer is in command, the other two
arms think they are getting the worst
of it. The only solution to the puzzle
is general officer to command Scho-
field Barracks, and for this reason the
coming of General Wood is Well
thought of. 10, ~.

instantaneous Ladies whose sensitive
organisms are especially prone to sick
headaches, need not suffer. for thew

One taken tonight will straighten you
out by morning-a 10-cent box will

liver and bowels regular and make
you feel bright and cheerful for
months. Children need Cascarets, too
they love them because they taste
good and never grippe or sicken.

The guess made some months ago
BY army higher-ups,, that Major Gen-
eral Leonard Wood was slated to com
mand the new Hawaii division of the
army as soon as his. detail as chief
Of staff expired, has become prac-
tical certainty. Letters just received
by ranking officers here who have
good underground connections with
Washington, state that General Wood
will come to Hawaii early in 1913, and
will take command of all the troops
on the island, the department being
raised to a division. and being run
directly with the War Department,
and not through the Western Division.
The plan is. according to the letter
OF one army politician, to put brig
adler general IN command of Seho-
field Barracks, General Macomb being
down for this command. He would
then make his headquarters at Leile-
hua, General Wood, of course, making
his headquarters in Honolulu
This scheme meets with the gem
eral approval Of army officers here, for
two prime reasons In the first place,

hOLD-UP MEN
 ARB CAPTURED PATROLMAN WARREN WILLIAMS LANDS TWO UNSUCCESSFUL
 HIGHWAYMEN.
VICTIM USED A GUN
Fired At Three Men Who Halted Him and Officer Appeared-One
 Of Trio Got Away.

About the boldest attempt at high way robbery that has been perpe- trated in Pine Bluff occurred last night about 11:30 o'clock when three negroes stepped out of the alley at Cherry street, between Fifth and Sixth avenues, and ordered white man named Saunders to throw up his hands, and according to Saun- ders, at least two of the negroes had guns. Saunders spunk and the the timely appearance of Patrolman Warren Williams broke the nerve of the negroes and they took refuge in flight but two of them, Harrison and Will Frazier, were run down by the policeman, captured and placed in the city jail. Saunders identified one of the men arrested.
 on returning home turned from Fifth avenue south into Cherry street. Just as he came to the alley the three negroes suddenly confronted him. Saunders leaped back, jerhed out a gun and fired at them and they fled, two of them going up Sixth avenue, and the other one south on Cherry street. Patrolman Williams, who has been watching that nelgh- borhood for some time, was at Sixth avenue and Cherry street. Hearing the shooting and seeing the two ne- eroes running, he gave chase. The two would-be highwaymen ran west i on Sixth avenue to Linden street and turned north but the speedy po- ] ,iceman cut them off and ordered them to halt which they did. The other negro escaped.
 On being taken to the station and questioned they denied attempting to hold up Saunders and declared they were only running to get out Of oui- let range. No weapon was founo upon them but after close question ing by Patrolman satterfield Will Frazier, admitted that his brother had a gun but threw it away when they started to run.
 The negroes will, be given a hear ing Monday in police court but VIII nrohab1y be transferred to a magls- trate's court.

RAN AWAY 10 BECOME ACTRESSES TWO WEALTHY MISSISSIPPI GIRLS LEFT FASHIONABLE MUSICAL
 SCHOOL AT MERIDIAN,
WERE STAGE STRUCK
Father Pursued One and Brought Her Home-Much Discouraged
 Will Try Again.

Chicago, H., Jan. 27.-Kathleen Me- Intosh and Sue Elizabeth Jam S, wealthy Mississippi girls, are on their way back to their home towns after a sensational flight from an exclusive musical seminary in Meridian, Miss, and an unavailing effort to storm the footlighted heights of Chicago thea- tricals. They are seventeen and twen- ty-two respectively. They came ar4u- ed with money, good looks, many clothes, musical education
 Miss Mcintosh went home with her father, who pursued her from Collins, Miss, and found her here. Miss James went home with a determination to try again.
 The weather is cold in Chicago-to Mississippi feelings. Theatrical man. agers are cooler still in Chicago to Mississippi amateurs.
 The runaway of these two young ladies come very near being 6 sensat- ion. They left the seminary i'll Merl- dian, Miss, January IS, going to St Louis, where they registered at the Planters Hotel under assumed names The same day w. B. Kimball, wealthy Chicago lumberman and friend o1 Miss James uncle, James Miller, o1 Lauderdale, Miss, appeared at the ho. tel. The same night the girls left 10! Chicago. So did Mr. Kimball.
 As result of thes e things MT. Nc Intosh arrived in Chicago in hot haste He found his daughter at the Hote Netherlands somewhat discouraged He also found Miss James at the Grea Northern, in about the same frame o1 mind. MT. Kimball had been found first and helped the father to find the two girls. A few hours after his ar rival he started back for Collins with his daughter.
 Late today Miss James stood .n the LaSalle Street Station, waiting for a Southbound train. Things look to her this way:
 Well I am going back home. am not beaten and 1 am not worried I ran away, but guess I need anoth- CT years work anyhow. I still am ambitious to gr on the stage and will when the proper time comes MT. Kimball was nice to us and help ed us, but we couldn't find a place."
 "The girls belong to excellenr ram- flies ;" said Mr. Kimball "they were just stage struck I helped MT. Me Intosh find his daughter and convinc- ed her she ought to go back home. That's all I had to do with it."

ALEXANDER'S ATTORNEY SAYS CLIENT IS OF UNSOUND MIND
 AND UNABLE TO CONFER.
NIXON'S MEMORY FINE
Negroes Who Await Trial For Arch- ard Murder to Be Arraign-
 ed Later.

Arkansas City, Jan. 27.-The mot ion of Attorney w. B. Sorrells, ask ing a new trial for w. c. Alexander. the Pine Bluff saloonist, who was re- gently found guilty here of charge of murder in the first degree, will be argued before Judge Grace in the De- sha circuit court on Monday afternoon and it is expected that Judge Grace will act on the motion immediately.
 In his motion Attorney Sorrells sets up that Alexander was crazy at the time he shot and killed J. P. Kelly at Pine Bluff last July, that the verdict of the jury was contrary to the law and evidence, submitted at Pine But. when he was declared sane by jury; l that Alexander is still of unsound mind and that at no time since the tragedy have his attorneys been able to confer witheir client inte lligently.
 Attorney Sorrells announced sever- | witness and would present him on Friday, but notwithstanding the fact that John Ratteree, the supposed wit- ness, was brought here from Star City by MT. Sorrells to testify, he was not used. He gave the attorney written statement, however, which 1t Is said, contained story of the tragedy diff ferent to that related by witnesses during the Alexander trial here last week. District Attorney Nixon r=- membe- ed that Ratteree was with him and several others at Gould on the night of the Kelly tragedy and could not have been an eye witness to the Pine Bluff killing This Is h. liev- ed to have prompted the defense not to use Ratteree.
 Emma Lewis, negress, was ac- quilted of an assault to kill charge by a jury here today and J. A. Murphy was given three years for grand lar ceny.
 The cases of Major Davis. Joe Ber- ry, Mack Tuckner and Robert Johr- son, negroes, indicted for murder in the first degree in :, connection with the killing of Vital Archard near Du- mas, are still in the county jail here. Their cases will not be called for trial until after the Supreme Court dis poses of the appeal in the Rhea case.
