u. S. Attorneys Office Says No
Such Regulations Have
Been Issued in Hawaii

What is declared by local United
States officials 10 be pure fabrica
ton" and ridiculous is an article ap-
pearing in a Hilo paper Of recent date
which, in effect, states that Sheriff
Sam Pua has information that the
VII, lie OF the islands Of Hawaii, or at
least its civilian residents, are to be
disarmed." The reason for the pur,
ported disarmament, says the paper,
is because anthrax germs have been
found in bullets"
NO such instructions have been
issued by this Office declared L. S,
Attorney S. c. Huber today, and II
instructions had come from other
sources | would have been immediate
ly informed | do not know where any
authority to disarm the residents Of
the territory would come from, and |
do not see what f0od it would &C
complish."
The district attorney. referring to
the statement that anthrax germs
have been found in bullets, says that
three examinations Of carcasses have
been made and each case proved mega
tive The rest of the article in the
Hilo paper reads as follows:
This order has been made operat'
i've here in consequence of reports
from various parts Of the states de-
claring that anthrax germs have been
discovered in bullets. And it is on this
account that the people of Hawaii are
to be Invested OF their firearms.
There is, however, one alternative.
Providing a person applies for, and
succeeds in getting, a permit to go
hunting he will be allowed to go on
shooting expeditions as heretofore.
But he uust at all times carry this
permit on his person"

tied for a time. Still later lie went
to Wisconsin.
AS member OF the Republican
party he ran for lieutenant governor
but was defeated. In 1859 he stirred
the country with a speech on True
Americanism." Lincoln sent him as
minister to Spain in 1861, but after
a year he returned to Join the army
He was made brt der and major
general in turn, distinguishing him
self at the second battle Of Bull
Run. He also saw the thickest Of the
Gettysburg and Chattanooga fights.
From 1869 to 1875 he served as
senator from Missouri-the first Ger
man senator in the United States.
He was a great champion OF civil
service reform and also figured
against land thieves. The later years
Of his life were spent in editorial
writing and in the writing OF essays.
His famous interview with Bismarck
came during a visit to Berlin when
the great statesman invited him to
his rooms.
They discussed the European sit
uation in an informal manner, and
Bismarck asked many questions con-
corning the American government
Evidently he could not realize how
democracy such ours could exist.
Schurz wrote in his memories a
lengthy description Of that interview
which drifted from the comparative
value Of various brands Of cigars to
the gravest questions Of state. Bis
marck confessed that he was a born
aristocrat and almost sided with the
slave holders Of the south.
But" he added with earnest en-
phasis, this vague sympathy does
