Editor Gill Uses Revolver
an Advertiser
Reporter.
AFJEB HE HAD BEEN
'; STRUCK FULL IN FACE
Stevens Sent to Queen's Hospital
Case Not Dangerous Gill Gives
Himself Up at Police
Station.
At a little after 9 o'clock last night,
E. S. Oil), editor of the Honolulu Re
publican, shot Mortimer I. Stevens, ono
of the new men on the reportorlal staff
of the Advertiser In the editorial room?
of the former1 newspaper. Immediate
IvTtfter the occurrence, the wounded
man wag removed to the Queen's hos
pital In a hack. Mr. Gill went to the
police station, gave himself up and
was placed in a cell to await the ar
rival of High Sheriff Drown, Dall in
the sum of $1000 was required. A check
for this amount was made out by Man
ager Johnson of the Robert Grieve
Publishing Co. nnd Mr. GUI was re
leased from custody.
Dr. Wayson, tho private physician
summoned by Mr. Stevens, found that
tho bullet had entered Just a little
above the left hip. It was probed for
but could not be found. Dr. Wayson
stated to a Dullctln reporter this morn
ing that the bullet was not In a danger
ous position and that no harm would
bo done by leaving It where It Is. Ho
stated further that his patient was do
ing very well and that ho would be
about again In a week or so.
In the Police Court this forenoon, Mr.
Gill nppearcd before Judge Wllrox
with F. W. Hankey as his attorney.
Utah Slwrlff Ilrown. made, n "general
charge of assault and battery with a
weapon obviously and Imminently dan
gerous to life and asked that the case
go over until Monday. There being no
objection on the part of the defense, tho
caso went over to tho time mentioned.
The shooting of Stevens grew out of
nn editorial nnd a story in the Repub
lican referred to In yesterday's Bulletin
which caused a cousin of one of the
young ladles concerned to call on Mr.
GUI at his oincc In tho morning.
According to Mr. Stevens' statement,
published by the Advertiser, he went to
tho Republican ofllco to try to prevent
further reference to the story which
appeared In tho morning. Ilelng the
life long friend of one of the oung
ladles, he considered it incumbent upon
him to net.
At all events, Mr. Stevens and Mr.
Gill had some argument about th mit
ter. Then Stevens struck GUI in tho
fnce. The editor aroso quickly, put
n chair between himself and his assail
nnt, grabbed a 3S-callbre revolver and
shot at Stevens with the result m ul
ready given above.
Witnesses say that Stevens when ho
entered the room, was very angry nnd
that, before properly announcing hl3
business, he began a tirade against Mr.
GUI who sat at his desk until the lan
guage became such that some words
were necessary to call the young man
to his senses.
Just as Mr. GUI was starling to rise
from his seat, Stevens dealt him a
savage blow in the face and he Immedi
ately took measures to defend himself.

the firing of firecrackers and bombs
from a back window,
Tho long tables wcro served first

ti Chinese custom. Sho was met by
Ah Hoo and together they made the
rounds of tho tables, the guests at each
rising nnd drinking the health of the
bride as the wedding party passed by.
Later on, Ah Hoo went around alone
and once again did the Chinese, lnves
tlgate the contents of tho flowing
bowl.
Ah Hoo had left nothing undone. At
his house on Vineyard street, provision
wns made for about fifty Chinese ladles
who, nmld the firing of fire crackers

Chinamen did the stealing of tho chick
ens nnd then ran away, leaving him nt
the mercy of the police.
Sheriff Drown stated that tho Chi

'Morning.
ISLAND STEAMERS OUT

Kinau and Glaudine for Hawaii and
Maul-Wind Has Shifted
and Sea U
Calmer.
'When they reached tho bar. they
began to bump Just n llttlo bit." These
words of n lato popular song were
very true when npplied to tho stcameis
leaving port this morning.
During the night, the wind which
had been shifting all day yesterday to
the westward had moderated a great
deal and, ns the forco of tho wind died.
the rough sea that has prevailed off
the harbor, went down considerably
so that, by this morning, It was pos
sible for the steamers which had been
detained for two days, to leave port.
The tug Fearless was the first to go
outside this morning. Captain Urokaw
went out to have a look around nnd
dump ashes. He returned and reported
that, although it was Btlll nasty weath
er. It was not nearly as bad ns It had
been?
About 9 o'clock tho Klnau left her
wharf and was followed a few min
utes later by the Claudlne. A large
crowd of people had congregated at
the Wilder wharves to seo the vessels
off and. as they went over the bar each
roll and lurch made wns greeted by a
roar of laughter by the onlookers.
The Claudlne followed nnd she too
had an exciting two jor three minutes
In crossing the bar. Ilelng n much
smaller vessel than either of tho oth
ers, It was much harder work.
Of the Inter-Island vessels, tho Ke-
auhou left for Hawaii at 10 o'clock
The Iwalanl was to have left for the
same place at the same time but blew
out tho gasket of a manhole Plato and
wns detained a couple of hours.
The W. O. Hall leaves for Kauai at B
o'clock this afternoon nnd the Nnenn
and Nllhnu at 4 o'clock ,also for Kauai.
Kaily this morning, the little steam
er James Makoo from Hnnnmnulu ar
rived with a full load of sugar, after n
most trying trip each way. The ves
sel with the Mlkahala left here Monday
afternoon for Knual. On the way over,
sho had very heavy weather and, for a
couple of hours, had to heave to. Land
was sighted and finally Hanamaulu was
reached.
There, tho vessel was compelled to
lay for n whnlo day, being unable to
work on account of the tremendous
swell. No communication could be had
with ports of the island ns tho tele
phone lino to Wnlmea had been blown
down.
On the way home, the vessel did not
have such n hard time but for a few
minutes whllo coming Into the harbor,
those on tho little vessel had a very ex
citing time.

riaynr the imipose of settling, if pun-
sioie, me Flatus or public milliungs.

eral government.
The question hns been more or Ichh
n40otedSlnce the taking effect of the
Organic Act Inst June and, upon the
arrival of the Federal Court In August,
tho lssueUcauie clearer by reason of
tho positive' position taken by Judgo
Dstec In the matter.
.Tho acute stage of the Issue between
the Territory and( the government nt
Washington comes up now on the re
fusal of both the Territory and the
Secretary of the Treasury at Washing
ton to pay bills for the repair of rooms
nnd buildings occupied by federal ofll
cers. When Judge Hsteo arrived last Au
gust, he was assigned temporary quar
ters In the Judiciary building by let
ter from the Territorial Executive.
Judge I'stee refused to accept the tem
porary assignment nnd would not re
cognize the authority of the Territory
to collect rent. Somo repairs nnd al
terations were made In the federal court
-tiKinn and paid fcr by the Territory.
I'. 8. Marshal Ray had some further
repairs made, the bill for which is $S85.
This the Territory refuses to pay. Tho
Treasury department nt Washington
also refuses to pay the hill until tho
exact status of public buildings here
has been settled,
Collector Stnckable has been having
similar troubles. The warehouses
have leaky roofs and goods In Btorngo

necessary. Tho Territorial ofllclnls re
fuse to make the repairs and tho Treas
ury 1lep.11 tinent will not net In the mat
ter until the Territory Indicates that
It hns relinquished all claim to the
buildings. 1
The whole question Is one of differ-1
nee between the Federal olllclnli and'
Governor Dole. The Federal officers
contend that tho government buildings
were turned oer nt first without quali
fications of any kind. Governor Dole
Insists that only temporary possession
wns given.
Tho matter was discussed In the
Governor's olflco this morning at
considerable length nfter which ngree
ments weer arrived nt.
In referenco to the federal court room
nnd offices In tho Judiciary building tho
Governor agreed to act to set aside tho
use of tho same for such purposes, the
ptemlses to revert to tho Territory
when the United Stntes should no long
er use them for such purposes. The
Territory will also pay the bill of $8SD
for repairs.
As to the Custom House, Governor
Dole agreed to turn them over absolu

WILL TAKE MEASURE TO
PROTECT THEMSELVES HERE
Special Meeting Will Be Held in
Headquarters Tonight Building
'Laws will Also be
Considered.
The regular rconthly meeting of tho
Master Uullders' Association wns held
In the headquarters of tho organization.
Kllte building, last Monday night. Rou
tine matters wero attended to. It was
shown that tbu membership wps In
creasing nt the rnto of two or threo
members nt each meeting. It was fur
ther shown thnt the organization Is In
excellent circumstances.
There Is to be a special meeting ot
tho association In headquarters tonight
for tho transaction of several Import
ant matters of business. Among theso
will be the consideration nt a recom
mendation ot certain building laws to
the charter committees now sitting.
The members of the Mnstcr Rudders'
Association have had occasion to notlco
a tendency on the part of prospective
owners of buildings and architects to
misrepresent to contractors on tho
Const, tho conditions here with n view
of getting low bills on various proposi
tions. This they think Is most unfair
nnt only to themselves but to the men
on the Coast to whom the misrepresen
tations have been made. This will ho
one of the matters considered tonight.
On several occasions during the past
two or threo years, this very thing has
been done nnd builders from the Coast
have Invariably been the losers. Their
figures, based on tho representations
made to them of the conditions In Ha
waii, were found to be altogether too
low when negotiations reached a stngn
whero the buildings must needs ba
erected.
The Master llttllders' Association la
now in communication with tho Uulld
ers' Hxchnnge nnd Uullders' Associa
tion, two organizations of San Francis
co. The object of this communication
is to promote good feeling between the
builders hero nnd those on the Coast
and to furnish back and forth, Informa
tion that mny bo asked for from tlmo
to time.
The builders here feel that they must
not only protect themselves but thnt
they should also protect those on tho
Const In their same lino of business.
Fair competition, they do not object to
but when conditions nro misrepresent
ed, they feel It Is tlmo tobe up nnd do
ing. A Shoe
