TRADITION OF
ANCIENT DAYS
SAVES WOMAN
Thought "Punalua' Was All
the Divorce Necessary, So
Judge is Lenient

A tradition of old Hawaii stalked
into the police court today and brought
before Judge Monsarrat q problem in
practical justice which the statute
books could not fairly solve. and the
result was that Rose All Nee, although
admittedly guilty, went free, and
Charles M. Lyman, charged with the
same statutory offense as the woman,
was fined the lowest sum allowed, $50.
To little 20-year-old Rose All Nee. a
pnre-blooded woman in her white
dress and Panama hat, has come from
the grass skirt days the tradition Of
"plinalua," which means that when a
woman tires of her husband she may
take another man. So when Rose and
Ed All Nee quarreled she went to live
with Charles NJ. Lyman, also a Ha.
waiian, and when her former husband
came with a witness and found them
together she followed again the
ancient custom and introduced her
husband tor her lover, pointing TO the
latter and saying, HE is my new
kane tmenl."
In the wonan's mind there seemed
no doubt that this was all that was
necessary to complete divorce.
All Nee had his wife arrested. To-
day in the police court she told on
the witness stand the story Of her
love affairs.
FRANKLY she said she loved Lyman,
but she refused TO answer when Chill
lingworth asked whether Lyman loved
her. hanging her head and smiling In
embarrassment. She said she and Ly-
man were to be married.
Chililngworth asked for a suspended
sentence for the woman, because he
said she did not know American GUS
toms and laws. But he thought Ly-
man should know better, because he
has mixed with Americans more, and

Hence when pretty miss passed him on her way home from work, at North Washington avenue and Grand street Malone violently embraced but only for a moment.
 Her father who was' several feet behind hit Malone so hard that he kissed the sidewalk, immediately after the hug. When the irate parent had finishe with Malone's face was so horribly smashed and split, it took the services of two doctors to fix him up. In addition to the beating he paid a fine of $5 and costs in the city court this morning.

CALL AL|ENISTS
 INFO COURT FOR
 UNIQUE HEARING
Difference Between Infec- tious Psychosis and Melan-
 cholic Involution Basis.

One of the most unique cases to be heard in the compensation courts of Connecticut with the difference be- tween melancholic involution and in- fectious psychosis as the basis began yesterday before Commissioner Ed ward T. Buckingham at Bridgeport.
 The cause of the suit which prom ises to create tradition in the alien istic annals of the courts of Connecti- cut is the mere search of a finger. As q result, those seeking compensation declare that Frederick Brewer, for merlN one of the best known stable foremen in Bridgeport, has been made violently insane and will be totally incapacitated from further work.
 During the trial. which was hotly contested by the Manufacturers Lia- bility Insurance Go. for the Bridge port Art Glass Co.,, yesterday after noon and will be resumed next Mon- cay, famous alienists, including pr. A. R. Diefendorf of New Haven, who appeared in the Harry K. Thaw and many other famous trials, Dr. Chas. N. Haskell, Dr. John w. Wright, were examined. Dr. Diefendorf, the main alienist for the applicant, Mrs. Fred erick Brewer, spent two hours on the witness stand under the most rigorous cross examination by Attorney Henry Greenstein appearing for the liability corporation explaining to the commis- sioner the exact nature of infectious psychosis and its distinction from melancholic inyolution, which. it is tLo contention 0f fhe defepca Rrouoy now suffers.

COMMISSIONERS SOLD FOR SONG
 A FAMOUS BELL
One That Hung in No. 1 En-
 zine Tower of Great His torical Value.
D. A. R. MEMBERS TO
 SEEK RESTORATION
Tongue Tolled Out News of Some of Nations Greatest
 Events.

When Mary Si1liman chapter, Daughters of the American Revolu- | tion meets next month an effort will be made to reclaim the old fire bell which hung for years in the tower of No. 1 Engine house in John street and which was recently sold with the other fire bells to junk dealer named Rand of New York
 The bell, which was of copper bronze, brought scarcely anything like it's intrinsic value but apart from that 1t has a historic interest and therefore the members of this patri- otic order would get it back if possible to preserve for posterity.
 The bell was moulded at a foun- dry at Somerville, Mass, said to have been established by Paul Revere, "the messenger of the Revolution" It was designed like the famous Liberty Bell except that it has no bar across the top, as has that bell. It was hung in the tower of No. Engine house in 1859 and for years 1t tolled out the alarms of fire to all the citizens of Bridgeport.
 It's solemn intonation also called the attention of citizens to other events of moment. 1t was tolled to chronicle the fall of Fort Sumter. the fall of vicksburg and the battle of Gettysburg and the assassination of President Lincoln.
 Gradually other bells were added to the fire alarm system until four have been used to ring out the alarms SO that all citizens might know when a fire had broken out Recently the fire commissioners decided to abolish the tower bell system and, to sell the bells.
 If the bell can be found, the Daugh- ters of the Revolution will propose to

New Haven, Oct. 26-The Second Connecticut infantry came home from the Mexican border today. The vel come given it here was a right royal one.

With warning of the coming of the troop trains given one hour in advance thousands of per- sons hurried down town and to the railroad yards to greet the soldiers.
 The first battalion to detrain was that under Major Isbel1 of this city and included the Waterbury compa- nies.

 A band played the liveliest of airs, spectators who lined the sidewalks cheered constantly and most of them waved small flags or bannerets bear . were vocally showered on all. Here and there a mother. sister or a sweet heart rushed out to hug a son, a brother or a loved one and the march was filled with lively and even tear bringing incidents.

which was robbed. Their attention was attracted to him by the fash ionable appearance of a tailore6 suit which he wore, and his nofSeless step. He had rubber heels and soles on his shoes, according to the young women and carried a ;wo- mans expensive umbrella.
 A person answering the same de- scription was seen near the Buda res- idence, formerly the "Old Perry House." Entrance was gained to this home by forcing a rear window. Sev- eral old wedding rings and gold trin- kets were taken from the first floor and the bedrooms of the occupants en- tered without awakening any member of the family. A dog which slept on the first floor of the house failed to give any alarm of their presence.
 The thief is believed to be an old of- fender whose method of operation in the Middle West allowed him to es- cape detection for years.
