HEAD OF new
YORK POLICE
IN HOT WATER

New York, N. Y, Dec. 31.-Rhine-
lander Waldo, for nearly fo'ir years
police commissioner of New York,
walked out of headquarters today in
a letter to Mayor Kline, he said: ut
appears to be the desire OF the lncom-
ing administration not to appoint a
commissioner, but to have an acting
commissioner appointed by me, re-
main in charge of the department.
will not be aparty to this PLAN
Mayor Kline settled the police stu
alton for the time being by appointing
Douglas |. Mckay police commission
er at noon. Commissioner Mckay had
contended that the formal withdrawal
of his resignation as deputy left him
the legal head of the department after
Waldo resigned, but Mayor Kline de-
cided to remove all doubt by giving
Mckay a formal appointment.
Mayor Kline, incensed. announced
that he declined to accept Mr.. Waldo's
resignation and had removed him for
INSTRUMENTATION"
Il had to do this to retain my self
respect and the dignity of the city,"
said the mayor.
Waldo's term would normally have
expired at midnight.
Mr.. Waldo replied by notifying May
or Kline in a letter that the mayor was
not in position to remove him from
office, since under the law his resigna-
ton became effective when it was ten
dered.

LIMO 70 CALL ON
TIE PRESIDENT at
PASS CHRISTIAN

Pass Christian, Miss, Dec. 81
President Wilson received official ad.
vices today that John Lind, his person
al representative to Mexico, had left
Vera Cruz on the scout cruiser Ches-
ter and probably would arrive here
tonight There is a possibility, if the
weather is good, that the president
will go aboard the revenue cutter Wi
mona, recently placed at his disposal
here, and meet Mr.. Lind when the
Chester arrives.
The president was not inclined to
discuss the coming conference with
Mr.. Lind but authorized the state
ment that the visit was of no especial
significance and merely meant that
the presidents representative desired
tn communicate more fully than he
could by cable.
Mr.. Wilson gave the impression that
there was nothing here to indicate
crisis in Mexican affairs or that
new diplomatic move was contemplat-
ed
The president however, recently has
given much thought to the Mexican
problem. In view of this fact, there
is reason for believing that a more
definite understanding of the course
that the president desires Mr.. Lind to
pursue in the immediate future Will
be reached.

from Lahaina on Thursday evening
The Claudine was wirelessed for and
she made a quick trip to Maui. Mr..
Baldwin is hurrying to catch the

the health of Jared Baldwin, son of

was received saying that young
Baldwin had to undergo a serious
operation and that the presence of
Of his parents was advisable.
Jared Baldwin only went back to
the mainland college last month,

second series of the Maui baseball

will be the Maui champions, as
they have already won the cham

Brutal Man
Is Jailed
Horrible Assault Case Ends With
One Year SentenCe-Was
Nearly Murder.

Judge Mckay sentenced Antoine
Palu to one year in Jail last We'd
nesday morning. The young man,
who is twenty years of age, bears
an unsavory record, and it is only
by luck that he is not now facing
a charge of murder, or manslaugh-
ter, at least.
Antoine has served Jail sentences
for assault before the present oc-
casion and last year, he got nine
months for beating up his father.
Previously to that assault he had
threatened to shoot his parent. In
fact, the young man appears to be
one of the kind that become abso-
lutely irresponsible when he takes
a few drinks.
The assault for which Antoine is
now serving one year in Jail, was
a particularly horrible one and the
victim is now in such a state that
his brain is affected and he cannot
even walk without assistance. The
assault which nearly entered the
murder class-was committed at
Waiehu where number of Hawaii
ans were having what is called a
good time" The convicted man
attacked the old native and, not
content with telling him with a
terrible blow on the face, finished
the job by jumping up and down
on the victim S face with his heavy
shoes.
The half-craZed Antoine was
pulled off the unfortunate man and
then it was seen that the latter was
in bad way. The police were
summoned and while the old native
went to the hospital, the brutal
Antoine was taken to Jail.
The victim of the assault was for
two weeks unconscious in the
hospital, and is now only a wreck
of his former self. One eye is de-
stroyed and the bones surrounding
the optic are crushed into the cheek.
There is still a possibility that the
old man may never recover from
the injuries he received and that
he may die long before his time,
owing to the beating that he sus-
tanned.

Accidents To
Many Boys

Quite a number of accidents have
occurred lately through small boys
falling from trees while in search
of the delicious mango or the tooth
some alligator pear. One little
Japanese boy died from fracture of
the skull, sustained from a fall last
week. He never regained cons
Ciousness.
This week, two lads of tender
years, have been taken to the
Malulani Hospital for treatment.
Both the lads fell from pear trees
and sustained fractured skulls.
Their cases are serious and they
will have hard job to pull through.
DR., Osmers thinks that the par
ents of children should keep close
watch on their offspring so as to
prevent similar accidents in future.
