The Printers Ball

True to promise the ball given last
evening by Washoe Typographical
union was all that was claimed for
it and the only thing that marred the
pleasure of the dancers was the
crowded condition OF the floor. Had
the walls of the opera house been
extended twenty feet each way there
would still have been limited rdom,
but all the same everyone enjoyed
himself and but few left the hall till
after 2 O'Clock. Virginia Cits contri-
buted nobly to the lffaf and sent
down delegation of fifty.

WANTED WITNESS WAS
SCARED TO FLIGHT By
READING OF SUBPOENA

Harry Lake, detective with the city
and county attorneys office, went
down into a lowly part Of Honolulu
yesterday to subpoena witness for
the Scully Chiffon conspiracy case, but
failed in his mission.
The prosecution in the conspiracy
case wanted the witness pretty. bad,
so Lake was despatched forthwith,
armed with the necessary papers.
Lake located his man. This was an
easy part of the service. The" Wit
ness-a Japanese-bowed the detec-
tive into his room.
Lake unrolled thre subpoena and be-
gan reading. The Japanese evidently
believed that Lake was reading
death warrant or something like that,
for about the time the detective got
to the you are summoned to appear"
part of the document, the Japanese
gave a terrified screech and leaped
headlong through the window to the
ground-a distance of only about four
feet.
Thus did Lake lose his witness. The
conspiracy case has been postponed
until tomorrow morning so that De-
tective Lake may have another chance
to get the Japanese.

The defense in the John T. Scully-
Willmot r. Chiffon conspiracy today
was granted permission to recall VIII
liam P. Fennell, liquor license inspec-
tor, to the witness stand for further
cross-examination."
"On May Is of this year, just prior
to Scully's trial in federal court, did
you seek to obtain from Scully writ
ten statement as to the alleged facts
concerned in this case?" asked Attor-
ney c. H. Mcbride.
The prosecution objected. The
court asked the purpose of the ques-
ton.
This is further cross-eXamination,
asserted Attorney Mcbride We want
to lay the foundation for impeaching
this witness"
Attorney Mcbride then asked Fen
nell if, in the Encore saloon at time
prior to the beginning of Scully's trial
in federal court, be did not approach
Scully and tell him that If he would
make a written statement of the al

Fennell would give him 500 Ito as

Fennell smiled broadly.

That is absurd he said, in an

ABANDON DOUBLE
MURDER THEORY
in MANOA CASE
.@This IS Myt.ast Night !, Eva
Long Was Heard to Say,
Prior to Stabhing Wife

That Ella Long killed himself after
numbering his 17-year-old wife. at their
home on the upper Manoa road FIJI
day night was made almost certain
Saturday night, when Henry Keamu
told Chief OF Detectives McDuffie that
Friday evening prior TO the murder he
heard Long say. This is my last
night" o.
Keamu's statement, which the po-
lice believe is true, indicates that thu
murder was premeditated. The theory
that Long killed his wife and was thel
murdered by someone else was made
stiIl further improbable by the estab
Iishment OF the witnesses that Long
and his wife were left together in the
house after the fight started, all the
others present having fed when Long
began TO WELD his knife. Most Of
them ran down the road Immediately
after Long attacked and stabbed his
uncle, Antonino Long, and as soon as
Antonino could get away from the
rink-crazed man he too ran.
The conflicting testimony at the
coroner's inquest Saturday is attrfbut'
ed to the lackNof understanding and
buSlISu WI Ny oonS
Of the witnesses, and also was prob
ably due to the half drunken state OF
most of those at the party in the Long
home.
A. Christian told the most connected
story at the inquest. He said That
Mrs. Long ran from the room with
her husband in pursuit, and that he
chased her back. AS Long came up
the steps he met his uncle and at,
tackled him. When the uncle ran, he
went into the house and again stabbed
his wife. Christian left at this time,
but before he went he heard Long
say he would kill himself
Charles Merseberg AntoninO Long
A. Long, Jr., and Christian were ques-
toned at length Saturday night by
McDuffie. and the points in their first
testimony, which pointed to possible
double murder, were cleared up.
The mystery which surrounded the
two knives was solved when AntoninC
Long declared that the knife found
beside the dying man, on which there
were no blood stains. belonged 10 him.
and had been handed to DR. Aver bv
him when the doctor asked for knife
to cut piece OF string.
Ella Long it is thought. stabbed
himself when he was outside the
house, where he dropped the bloody
knife found later by MCDufie, and
then went inside the house. where ne
was found dying when the officers

Ella A. Long, who died at the Queen
hospital early Saturday morning, and

.S(]PP0RTE|RIsO OF
SHORT BALLOT 10
CAUCUS TONIGHT
Progressive delegates to Char
ter Convention Will Meet To-
- Plan Wednesday Fight RI

In an effort to.raIlyf their forces fol
the final fight for a. modern charter
which, will begin Wednesday night
when the Charter Convention meets
those in favor of the short ballot will
hold a meeting tonight at 1880 o'clock
in the Chamber of Commerce rooms
The meeting was called by G. Fred
Bush of the Honolulu Iron Works,
member of the convention from the
Fourth representative district.
While the meeting is called osten'
sibly by those who favor the short
ballot, 1t is said that in reality it is a
meeting of the men who favor a pro-
gressive charter. The caucus will en-
deavor to plan the Progressives' work
in the convention Wednesday, and to
get line on their possible strength.
While admitting that the charter as
proposed by. the Research Club may
not be acceptable to the majority in
the convention, the leaders of the pro
gressive movement are confident that
the vote of those who favor a modern
form of government will be strong
enough to carry through the Achi
plan, which is different from the Re-
search Club charter principally in that
it does not provide for city manager.
just how long the session of the
convention will last, and when the
charter will come to final show down
on a vote, is predetermined. That there
will be long discussion and a stubborn
fight from both the old charter sup
porters and the progressives is GER
tain, and that there will be a great
deal of discussion is also probable
Il would not like to try to guess
when the vote is coming" said Lor-
rim Andrews, chairman of the COM
mittee Of IS. The work of the COM
mtttee is of course done. But there
are "a members Of the convention, all
with decided opinions, and almost
every one of them will want to talk.
The session may be long one"

Traction Company

Standing for more protection to the
government in the matter of certain
water rights, specifically those Of the
Wailuku stream in South Hilo, Hawaii
the exclusive use OF which the Hflo
Traction Company has applied for,
Governor Pinkham today submitted
a letter to the land board in which
he suggests action to be taken by the
board upon the request.
Briefly stated the governors letter
faVors granting the use of the stream
for a 30-year period, the first 10 years
to be on practically a free basis, in
that the government will receive but
one dollar annually for the stream
rights. This Is in order to give the
traction company a chance to gain
strength during Its first years Of or
ganization. Following the 10-year pc.
Rod, the letter proposes that the ter.
ritory shall receive full power value
for the stream, at the rate OF charge
that would be made from any other
power except water. 80. -.
Rough estimates place the present
value of the power In question at about
$4,000 per year, so that the governors
suggestion, if adopted. will mean q
total OF about $50. 900 to the territory.
No action was taken on the. appli,
cation by the land board today, al
though it came up for detailed dis
cussicn: Owing to the fact that a
complete board was not present, It
was decided at, suggestion from
Chairman j. H. Raymond, that action
be postponed until the membership
