WOMAN FAILS
IN EFFORTS
TO end life

With her decree of divorce issued
less than two weeks ago, and believed
by neighbors to be Respondent, Mrs.
Viola A. Doyle, formerly the wife OF
Joseph A. Doyle, proprietor of tho Ar
gonaut hotel and bartender In a
local saloon, attempted suicide shortly
after seven o'clock Tuesday morning
by taking poison in her room in the
Argonaut hotel.
Boarders at the hotel were attracted
to Mrs. Doyle's rooms by her screams,
and a physician was summoned. who
took the woman to the Queens hos
spitai in his automobile The hospital
authorities this morning reported Mrs.
Doyle to be in fair way to recovery.
Mrs. Doyle, who was married to her
former husband in the fall of 1912,
secured divorce from him August
10 last on the grounds of i'll treatment,
stated to have begun some two
months after the marriage. Accord
ing to persons residing near the Argo-
naut hotel. the married life of the
Doyles was anything but tranquil
Wordy wars, they say, we're frequent
between the two. The case of the at
tempted suicide is now in the hands
of the police, having been reported
yesterday afternoon, according to the
hospital authorities.

MORE POWER
FOR MAYOR
OF HONOLULU

P. L. Weaver, first deputy city and
county attorney, has turned his atten-
ton to dance halls. The particular
phase of the subject he has so far
taken up is the matter Of issuing II
censes for dances. He does not be-
lieye the present system, which re
quires the time Of the entire board Of
supervisors, is satisfactory Under
the ordinance now in force, applicants
for a dance license must apply to the
supervisors, who either grant OF deny
the request
If the ordinance, or rather the
amendment to the present ordinance,
which Weaver has up Is put on the
books, 1t will mean that the mayor
will have the authority to issue all
licenses. and the supervisors win have
nothing to do with the matter By
the proposed ordinance. It is placed
in the hands Of the mayor to issue.

NO TROUBLE
ABOUT WHARF
SAYS Funston
Department Commander Ayers
That Territory viii Have No
Fuss with Department
SUGGESTS PLAN FOR AN
AMIcABLE SETTLEMENT
Commissioner McStocker
Writes Regarding 'Exag-
gerated Statements

That there is not the slightest dis
position on the part of the War De-
partment to hold up the territory
because of territorial improvements
on army land holdings, and that the
most friendly relations are extant be-
tween the military and civil govern
ment heads, is the statement of Gen.
eral Frederick Funston, relative to
the Queen street wharf quibble. The
head OF the army here believes that
all the territory has to do to secure
an extension of its lease on the wharf
site, is to ask the War Department
for it.
'It will not. make any difference to
the War Department because the ter
ritory has made extensive improve
ments on the wharf site" said Gen
eral Funston this morning. There
is no prospect of a hold-up, by the
federal government. The army repre-
sentatives here and the territorial Of
ficials are on the friendliest of terms,
and there is little chance of a mis-
understanding, over this wharf mat
ter.
However, the army authorities here
are of the opinion that If the terri
tory desires absolute title to the prop.
erty that it has improved, it might
secure it through trade of land.

RULES
Considered BY
THECOMNISSlON

Final approval was given to the
rules and regulations of the civil ser
vice commission by that body at its
meeting last evening in the chambers
of the supervisors. With only few
amendments, making changes or addi-
tions to the tentative draft drawn up
by Chairman A. j. Writ, the rules
and regulations were adopted.
Aside from this work, the commits
sion at its meeting last night settled
the question of fire badges, and or
dered that a drawing of the proposed
badges be made and presented to the
commission These badges, which will
permit the holders of them to pass the
fire lines, will be given to officers OF
the law, insurance men, inspectors OF
the water, sewer, light, gas, ETC., sys-
TENS, to representatives of the press,
etc.
There now remains only one more
set of rules and regulations for the
commission to adopt. That will have
to do with the police department. A
good BIT of interest is manifested IN
the rules of this department. 1t is
limited that there will be few regu-
Iations put in which will affect police
officers financially.
At the meeting next wednesday
evening the police rules probably will
come up. When this last one OF the
three sets of rules and regulations is
adopted, the three will be printed and
distributed.

MAYOR FERN IS
LAUGHSMIIH At
joke ON BOARD

Mayor J. J. Fern knowssa joke when
he hears one. He is known to laugh
even when the joke is on him; but OF
course he laughs more heartily when
il is not on him. If it Is, say, on the
board of health, which has refused to
bury the county's INDECENT dead, the
mayor allows himself to laugh unre-
strainedly.
1t happened the other day that a
Chinaman went to the mayor and
asked for a poi-license. 1t seems that
the Chinaman makes poi somehow or
other and needs license to get rid
of it. Before going to the mayor the
Celestial had been to the board OF
health, and from there he was refer
red to the city and county clerk for
the license.
'tWho tell you to come here? asked
the mayor.
tMr. .-Go-To-Hell" promptly replied
the Chinmal.
The mayor leaned back in his chair,
thinking and smoking his cigar, but
he couldn't place the gentleman, in
question, puff as he did. At last,
however; the smoke brought an in
spiration. He slowly rose from the
chair, went into another office where
he found a Chinaman.

CHARGED WITH. FIGHTING
One of the Belligerents Had His Nose
Severely Bitten During
the ARRAY

At late, hour Saturday night a
fight occurred on Wolfe street, be-
tween Fairfax and Lee, between
George Lancaster and Charles Dove,
during which the former managed to
get his teeth. into the probiscous OF
Dove, and did not relax his hold until
he had seriously injured that organ.
The fight awakend most people re-
siding ON the square, and yesterday
it was the principal theme of CONVEX
sation in the nsighborhood.
Officer Gill later arrested the belig-
gerentS and they appeared in the 20
lice court this morning to answer
the charge of disorderly conduct and
fighting.
Dove appeared with strips of white
cotton across his face and Lancaster
with his shirt spattered with blood.
Dove in his defense stated that nc
had encountered Lancaster while II

he had warned him of the consequent
ces Of being found in her company

JUDGE GDRD0N's DECISION
Alexandrians Regret the Outcome of
the Annexation Pro-.
I ceedings

The opinion of Judge Bennett T..
Gordon, of Nelson, Diminishing the
suit of this city against the counties
of Alexandria and Fairfax for the
absorption OF adjoining territory and
refusing to give the city any claimed
by it, published in full in the Gazette
on Saturday, was read and reread by
thousands. The decision was a sur
prise to those favoring annexation
as we'll as to those who had combatted
the movement, and it was hard for
many to understand why certain Sec
lions against which the city has
built-sspecially to the santh and
southwest of the city-should have
been denied.
The bitterest opponents of the an
nexation movement believed that at
least a portion of the territory ask
ed for would be granted. The Union
Station. West End and Rosemont,
depended entirely on Alexandria for
fire and police protection and also Sc
cure their gas, water and electricity
from the city's plants. Practically
all of the residents Of the two suburbs
are former Alexandrians who have
moved from within the city limits
as they were unable to purchase prop
erty in town upon which they could
erect modern residences.
No decision has been rendered by
the officials of the city as to theil
future plans in the case. Under Tx
law the city has the right TO appea
the case to the Supreme Court Of
Virginia, and steps in this direction
were taken yesterday, when judge
Gordon granted its attorney thirty
DAYS time in which to formulate the
appeal.
One of the most serious results OF
| y uuEc EOTuOu , ueSlSlOH VIII NC IiiS uS-
lay in the erection OF the new high
school building. So confident were
the members of the City Council anC
the school board that they would
secure the territory asked for in tho
annexation proceedings that they pur'
chased, about year ago, seven acre:
Of land, the greater part of which
lies outside of the city limits, upor
which it was the intention to erect
the new high school building. Plans
have already been prepared for the
$4,000 for its construction is now
pending in council.
The decision of Judge Gordon viii
make it necessary for the city to sell
the property and secure another loca-
ton for the school building. There
is said to be no available lot within
! the present limits and it is believed
that the authorities will find great
difficulty in securing a suitable site
