IMPERIAL BAR
CLOSED TODAY
BY INSPECTOR

William p. Fenneif was considerably
surprised this morning when he saun-
tered past the Imperial Bar to find the
buffet business running full blast.
James Z. Thompson. the proprietor,
was recently ordered by the liquor IL
cense commissioners TO close the place
for two months following his convic-
ton by the board of selling "slOp''
beer. The suspension of sentence was
supposed to have commenced this
morning but F'ennell says there was
no indication of it.

pocket of the order made last Satur.

see what was the idea. Several part

so surprised for the moment that

Fennell says Thompson was not in
the place. The liquor inspector imme
diately notified the board and the
saloon shortly started on its two
months vacai on. Fennell says
Thompson may nave forgotten the day
or possibly might have thought tonight

KOREAN IN RAGE
MAKESATTACKO ON
EMPLOYERS wife
Angry Yard Boy Knocks Down
Mrs. Peterson. Threatens
Her With Pistol

Mrs. G. r. Peterson, wife % Attorney
Peterson, was attacked this morning
~ her home on Vancouver Highway in
Manoa, knocked down and threatened
with pistol by Korean yard boz
Kim III Sung, who is now under arrest.
Mrs. Peterson Is not physically inJnr-
ed but is so Frustrated by the shock
that Mr.. Peterson asks her friends not

her until she has fully recovered.
The Korean las been a trusted,
energetic and capable employe al the
Peterson home on and on for about
five wears. according TO Peterson, but
has been subject 10 spells OF stub
bornness and INSTRUMENTATION AZ times
which have brought about his dis
charge Each time friend interceded
for him and he went back to work.
IL is thought that his action this morn
ing was brought about through some
imaginary grievance against Mrs.
Peterson or from a sudden rage Of
jealousy oecasioned by her treatment
of other employees,
Kim followed Mrs Peterson into the
hot,house behind the residence this
morning. following an unwarranted
sulking spell OF several DAYS duration.
and wanted To know why they were
always fooling him" Mrs. Peterson
saw he was raging and tried TO quiet
him, whereupon he sprang at her,
carried her bodily out of the hot
house, threw her down on the lawn
and pulled out an automatic pistol
which he pointed at her
When the terrified woman scream
ed and grasped the gun he seemed
TO come to his senses, put the pistol
back i'm the holster and backed away.
Mrs. Peterson then proceeded very
slowly into the house, afraid to run
for fear he would shoot, and, inside,
asked the Japanese cook TO protect
her. The Korean did not come into
the house but went about his work
instead, and Mrs, Peterson went with
her 5-year-uld son. the only ether oc-
cupant of the house, TO the home of
Mrs. John Stone, next door, from
where Mr.. Peterson and the police
were notified.
Word was sent to the Mills school
nearby of the Koreans actions and
several of the faculty men hurried to
the scene to stay with the woman un-
til the police came. When Motor
cycle officers Sizemore and Hustace
searched Kim no pistol was found. but
it was later discovered, unloaded,
along with several cartridges in his
quarters. Mr. Peterson says he would
have had time to put the gun back
in the room and to unload il before
the officers arrived. The pistol was
of German manufacture, purchased
about two years ago by Kim and reg
istered by him.
Sheriff Rose discharged Kim late
this afternoon, returning the pistol
and leaving him in charge of country
men who promise TO take him into
the country to be held BY them until
the first boat for the Orient. when he
will be sent back to Korea This
action was taken at Peterson's re-
quest

She was rushed to the Ravens

VOTES; HUGHES 10
225 IN DOUBT
New York, Nov. 6.-VieWing the
election situation today it appeared
that the people of New York, Illinois,
Ohio and Indiana would come near
est to holding the balance of power
in saying who shall be our next pres
ident and if senate and house of rep
resentatives shall be Republican or
Democratic. Both sides claim the
electoral vote of these states, which
totals 113, nearly 43 per cent of the
236~votes necessary to a choice.
The strongest Republicans con-
cede the Democrats the 1876 electoral
votes of the Carolinas, Georgia, Flor
ida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana,
Texas, Arkansas, Tennessee and Ok
lahOma, though the Socialists are
claiming Oklahoma. Democrats adj
NIT Hughes will get the 70 votes of
New Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode
Island, Iowa and Pennsylvania. Ev-
cry other state is claimed by both
sides.
In Illinois lies the real enigma
close to 100000 new women voters.
Because they are new in the exercise
of the franchise and because they
are women, political prognosticators
were exceedingly shy in making any
predictions on the Sucker state to-
day.
In New York-the state with the
big As notes.-the last minute claims
were:
Republicans: Hughes will win
New York by from 100000 to. $780,
600.
Democrats: Wilson will win by at
least 100000. s-.

agents who represent the department

1t is found from the reports of
the woman agents that during the

one crop, preferably tomatoes, even
a very ambitious girl has all the work
she can do In the second and later
years, however, girls are encouraged
to raise two or three different kinds
of vegetables in their plots and to eX'
tend their canning operations TO other
products of the farm. Thus surplus
fruits and vegetables are not only
kept from going to waste but are
made a source o. profit.
