at a mail box and Remus Hoped over

just dropped the sharp end of a 40

did, after he (Romulus) got through
with him, he would run ten miles over

For answer Remus backed off about

EXTRA! ROMULUS STAYS REMUS

Rome, Italy, Dec. 8, 1000??? B. c.
(By Leased Wire)-Romulus, Dem
ocratic leader of the Third Ward, and
the man from whom this town is
named, stabbed his twin brother,
Remus, after a quarrel on the Palatine
Hill this morning. The latter's soul
reported to the Hon. Sharon and was
ferried. across the Styz River on the
11.30 boat.
Mrs. Matte Sparactus, a widow who
keeps the boarding house at 1869 West
Appian Way, where the brothers lived
declared that the fatal quarrel had
it's inception during grape fruit of the
morning meal.

might be wanted. When the ambu-
lance arrived Remus was ready for
the wooden Kimono.
Romulus then boarded a Northwest
car and went to police headquarters
where he gave himself up to Desk
Sergeant F'luvius- He denies that he
struck the first blow, and his version
of the affair differs in other important
particular from that of the one eye

Romu1us was arraigned before
Gracious Kernochan, justice of the
peace for the Third District, and held
for trial without bail. Agitation has
already been started to have the city
council pass an ordinance making it a
penal offence for any Roman who isn't
serving on the police force to carry
revolvers, brass knucks or knives with
blades longer than two inches.
The brothers were the sons of the
God Mars and Rhea Sylvia, a beautiful
matron of the Fifth Avenue set. The
fact that they were abandoned in early
infancy and rescued by a timber wolf
who acted as their wet nurse may
account, say psychologists. for the fact
that both brothers have always con-
sidered peace repugnant.
Immediately after the coroner's in
quest the body of Remus was shipped
to Lakeside, a suburb, to be cremated
and his jar filed away in the family
mortuary cupboard with the ashes of
his fathers.

passionate athlete-he would get up
from a chicken dinner (Which are my
pride) to run a cross-country race
through stony country with one, any
one who would come along He would
put on his track suit every evening
and go out on Tiberside Drive where
he would jump in front of automobiles

so when Mr.. Romulus asked him
to help, Mr.. Remus said that he would
like to, but that he was behind in
his training and that the Y. NJ. C. A.

down the smile dash at the Inter-City
Athletic Meet to be held this month
on Hermes Field. He added that he
might spin past and shout a word or
two of encouragement if that would
help any.
II thought nothing of it at the time.
Mr.. Romulus made some crack about
the immodest bugs that chased about
town in scant garments and went out
to the barn where he hitched up his
two oxen, Buck and Dan respectively,
to his No. 40 pillow and drove off. No
one could be more surprised than me
over what has happened. Outside of

BOUNDARY QUESTION A
CLOSED INCIDENT

After negotiations which have been
carried on over period Of several
months, Attorney General w. w. Thay-

Waiakea. Keaau boundary question and
by today's steamer Mauna Kea for

the Hilo attorney who represents w.
II. Shipman, the owner of the ahupuaa
of Keaau to this effect.
The boundary between the Waiakea
and Keaau lands were adiudicatel in
1873 and it is now, after a lapse of
forty years, that n question as to the
correct boundary is raised. Shipman
contends that the correct boundary
should run from given point on the
Volcano road, about five miles south OF
IIilo, in n direct line to the site of an

ed on. the sea coast. The present
boundary DIVORCES a trifle southwark
and Shipman s contention is that he is
about $50 acres shy in the total area
of his ahupuaa.
The attorney general took this mat.
ter up while at Elo some weeks ago,
but nothing has come out of the con,
ference except that he has now decid-
cd to decline opening the question and,
as far ms the Territory is concerned,
the boundary as laid down through the
adjudication made in 1873 remains in
force. The land claimed by Shipmar
Is all pahoehoe and il covered with n

The only way Shipman may again

Foreign Minister Issues Statement
Indicating That Constitutional
Number of Votes Have Been
Cast - Congress to Declare

Will Rule.
CITY OF MEXICO, October 30.

CITY OF MEXICO, OCTOBER ~.
BY Associated Press Cable)-
Belated returns from the Sunday
election in Mexico, make it now
seem probable that one of the
tickets may receive a constitution
al majority and that the election
may yet be legal. This was real
ICED at the Mexican capitol last
night and was followed by an
announcement from the foreign
minister that in the event that the
Huerta- Banquet ticket is elected
Congress will at once be as
sembled. The Huerta votes will
be declared void on the ground
that Huerta, being Provisional
President of Mexico, is deprived
by the Constitution of the privil-
eye of being candidate for cleo
ton. With these votes out of the
way congress will declare Blan-
quet duly elected and he will OF
once assume the presidency.
Banquet, as minister of war un.
til a few weeks ago, was looked
upon as Huerta s closest ally. In
the political moves that happened
so quickly upon each other in the
closing days of the campaign
however, it looked as if the two
had divided.
The announcement by the for
eign minister last night, however
would indicate that an agreement
has been reached whereby Huerts
is to step out and Banquet take
up the reins of government.
Conditions in the City of Mex
leo are far from satisfactory. TIL,
