WHY MR. WIGHT
"Why am I n Republican, why shall I roto the Republican ticket?"
said C. I Wight, President of tho Wlldcr'Btoamshlp (Company this
morning in response to a query from a Hulletln reporter.
"I am a Republican because I believe In the policy of protection.
In other words, I believe that the worklngmcn of the United Stated
should receive wages sufficient to enable them to live better than the
worklngmcn of Europe.
"Wo have In the United States tho largest market in th'e wbrlTI suffi
ciently largo to glvo emplojment to all the peoplo of the country at
living wages. European countries hnve a small domestic market and
In consequence look to the United States to consume their surplus.
"Should the protect ho tariff be removed the wages of tbe working
men of. the United States would bo reduced to the samo level ss those
of European countries nnd tho moaey now retained In the United States
would go abroad.

and struck his wlfo Molkena on the
head, Inflicting thrco severe wounds
on the forehead.
His mother-in-law Interfered In the'
butchery and she too received her share
for what Kaula calls un unwarranted
Interference. Soon after the cutting
Molkelia and her mother both got Into
a hack and rode up to Walluku to see
Sheriff Daldwln about the matter.
Hon. A. N. Kepolkal saw them on
their way to the sheriff's office and pre
vailed on them to go Into his house.
In the meantime ho c'alled Dr. WeddLk

trial will take place as soon as his
victims are well enough to appear be

WAS ONLY THING THAT
SAYED CHILLINGWORTH
Heffernan Pointed A Revolver At Him
And Was Just About To Fire
Story Told By Deputy
Sheriff. Had It not been for the none anl
coolheadedncss of Deputy High Shei
Iff Charles Chllllngworth early Inst
evening ho would hae very probably
been seriously Injured If not killed bv
Charles Heffernan, the man who is ac
cused of circulating forged checks at
Walmca, Kauai.
Heffernan had been arrested on Sat
urday nnd confined at the police sta
tion. On Sunday evening at 6 i" clock
be escaped.
The Sheriff nnd his deputy were soon
nt the olIUc and plans were laid for the
recapture of the man. Officers were
sent In all directions to block every
avenue of escape and the Hongkonc
Maru and other vessels In port wcro
searched. No trace of tho man could
b0 found. Finally at about 0 o'clock.
Deputy Sheriff Chtlllngnorth got a
pointer and proceeded direct to tlw
house og Robert Jclllngs or the O. U.
& L. Co. In Kapalama In Joe Corrca's
hack. With him were two special po
lice. Theso remained outside whllo
Chllllngworth went Into the house. The
rest of tho stor) Is best told by the
Deputy Sheriff himself.
"Ilcfferniin wna standing In tho cen
ter of the room, a pipe In bis mouth.
After I had put him under arrest, ho
asked to be allowed to take another
drink. 1 consented nnd then we droo
to town.
"At the pollco station I met Sheriff
llrown. After a short talk, tho prisoner
asked to speak alone with Mr. Drown.
We suspected something nnd so kept uu
ee un tho man. It was thought beat
to take Heffernan out to Jail so we got
Inttf Corrca's hack again.
"Just before turning on to the Iwll 1
road, Heffernan said ho wished to pur
chase some clgnrH. My first Impulse
wus to go and get them but I changed
my mind nnd let the drhcr go.
"Upon reaching tho tracks of the O.
R. & L. Co. on tho Iwllel road at about
7:10 p. m., Heffernan asked to get out.
1 consented. The fellow got one foot
on tho ground and then said he would
go no further. I could see him vwttcu-
Ing mo like a cat and I also saw hi)
hand steal under his coat. I awaited
developments.
'Suddenly Heffernan whipped out a
revolver and pointing It directly at mo
said: 'Damn ou, I knew you would
hound mo nnd now It has come to n
time when It Is your life or mine. I am
going to kill j oil.'
"I sat still and told him to go aheid
with his shooting. Heffernan kept talk
ing, saying that he wbr sorry but he
would havo to do the Job. I then told
him again to shoot away and tore open
my coat, saying that It my head was
not a clear mark my breast would cer
tainly do.
"Heffernan then told mo that If I
would glvo him a chnnce to escape, tij
would not shoot. I told him I had a
wife nnd child at homo but that ho
would first have to kill mo before ho
could make good his escape, I heard
tho click of the rovolvcr and felt that
my time bad come but I was neverthe
less looking for a chnnco to escape. t
"Ilcffcrnnu said he wished me to get
ready and also that ho wished to lay
good-bo to me. With this bo hold
out his left hahd but kept tho 38 calibre
llulldog lotcled at my head. I saw
my chance for escape. (Irusplng his left
hand Into tho nlr. I then quickly let
tip my left arm which caught I1I111
under tho chin and threw his right
hand Into th ealr. I then quickly let
go with my right, swung around aud
caught nt tho hand with tho revolver.
It was Just at this time that tho trig
ger was pulled and my thumb was
caught by It, preventing a discharge.
"Tho rest wbb easy. I choked Heffe-'
nan, took away the revolver and soon
had him In a tell at Oahu Jail. He bes-
gcd mo to allow him to shoot himself."
Where Heffernan procured the re
volver Is n mystery but If the truth 'i
ever learned, It will go hard with tho
owner.

the Case, of William
Marshall.
SEPARATION OF CRIMINALS
AND THE MISDEMEANANTS
Will Wear Different Styles of Prisoa
Garb Rapid Transit Route
Hawaiian Wine
It appears as If tho publicity glvcu
the treatment of WIITInm Marshall as a
misdemeanant by the Jail authorities
Is going to lead to an Item or prisoa
reform. Under sentence for libel Mar
shall was paraded through the street
with tho worst classes of criminals and
made to toll with them In tho qtiarrlei.
Attorney General E. P. Dole, at tho
(lovernor's council fills mornng, malo
two suggestions. One was that persons
sentenced to Imprisonment for Infa
mous crimes shall serve their terms In
Oahu prison, while pcrsuns sentenced
for misdemeanors shall bo confined In
tho Jails of the Judicial districts wheio
sentenced. On this Island It would be
Oahu prison.
Th eothcr suggestion was that In
Oahu prison which Is the Territorial
penitentiary, those sentenced for mis
demeanors should be kept separato
from those son Ing terms for Infamous
crimes, and that misdemeanants shall
bo clothed In nil blue denim suits In
stead of the convict garb nowlnvoguo
If bl-scctlonnl bluo and brown.
Although no action was taken the
suggestions were favorably regarded as
having twofold value, viz.: In reduc
tion of expenses nnd In prison reform.
The Attorney General again brought
up the matter of district phjslclans
charging fees for treatment of prison
ers. Nothing was done. The already
reported disallowance of bills of this
sort from Dr. Wcddlck of Walluku docs
not appear to liave given a quietus to
the question.
The cutting through of Queen street
for accommodating tho Rapid Transit
Company's tracks came up. Not being
presented In an entirely stglsfactory
shape the matter weut over for further
consideration. W. O. Smith, attorney
for tbe Dlshop Estate, was called in
consultation on the subject.
Treasurer T. F. Ijinslng reported nn
application from a vltlculturlst at Ms
kauao for license to manufaAuro wluo
