L O B e S S e N e . 4 Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, March 22. Volney V. Ashford, who died in this city last evening, was a man most intimately connected with Hawalian history and with his death closed a remarkable career. Volney V. Ashford was born at Port Hope, Canada, fifty-three years ago. Early in his youtn he went to New York and took up the study of law. He served in the Twenty-first New York Regiment of Cavalry in the’civil war and was honor- ably discharged in September, 1865, as a second lieutenant, when but 1§ years old. In 184 he went to Honolulu. where his brother, Clarence W. Ashford, had been racticing law for several years. There is capabilities were recognized by King Kalakaua, who presented him with letters of denization and shortly afterward made him the royal legal adviser. Ashford was an important factor in the first revolution in Hawali in 1886, when Wilcox was striv- ing to overthrow the reign and govern- ment f! King Kalakaua. He was organ- izer of the Honolulu Rifles, a militia com- pany. composed of Americans and English- men, and was for some time colonel com- manding of the Hawaifan army. It was to him that Wilcox finally surrendered. In 1890, when Liliuokalani was in power, there was another uprising and Ashford always afterward claimes that during that insurrection he intended carrying out the very plans that Dole since executed. Ashford, even in his last days, declared that Dole had proved traitor to him and his cause; had betrayed his confidence and exposed his plans. The Queen, at that time, was made aware of Ashford’s mo- tives and threatened to have him be- headed, but influential friends interceded and managed to smuggle him away from th]e islands aboard one of the Wilder ves- sels. Dole was one of those, Ashford claimed, who Instigat the successful revolution that terminated in 1892 with the hoisting of the American flag and the establish- ment of a provisional government. After Ashford had returned to the fsl- ands and in 1895, when the last insurrec- tion was on, he was accused by W. O. Smith, Attorney General for the {)ole ad- by Dole himself with guilty knowl revolution. Ashford, the time, was thrown g\lhr physiclan, stration, and mm{,fl fon of of the impendi though very ill af into prison, denied Té] summarily tried by drumhead court mar- tial and on conviction sentenced to one vear’'s imprisonment and to pay a fine of $1000. had always claimed that he was convicted on the sole testimony of Sam Nolan, whom he termed a traltor, and Captain Davis, whom he regarded as a good-for-nothing Englishman.

He Is Charged With Having Beaten the Boys Until They Were Black and Blue, but Says He Was Not Cruel. BERKELEY, March 2—E. E. Nichols, | principal of the Lorin Grammar School, was arrested this afternoon on a charge | of battery for whipping three of his pu- | plls. He punished the children with a | heavy strap—a plece of old harness trace | —until he raised black and biue marks on | thelr legs. | Last Tuesday Raymond Rasmussen, | Irving Waterbury and young Richter | were sent from the classroom by their teacher to Principal Nichols for a trifling infraction of the rules. The boys are about 11 years old and members of the fifth grade. They had been throwing feathers with corks and pins attached to the ceiling, to the amusement of the rest of the class, and | were dismissed from the class and told to. report to the principal. Nichols séverely punished the lads with a heavy strap, two and a half inches wide and a quarter of an inch thick, llsir\f it double. He beat the boys about the legs until young Rasmussen could hardly | stand. As soon as he got home that evening he told his parents. They examined him and found a number of black and blue welts on_the thighs of their son. Imme- diately the father, James A. Rasmussen, | reported the whipping to the police, with the result that Principal Nichols was ar- rested this afternoon. The fathers of the | other two boys complained to the Super- intendent of Schools. Nichols says that he did not unduly punish the children. While th com- mitted what might be called a serious in- fraction of school rules, he did not intend in any way to maltreat them. He s the strap used was about the same generaily used throughout the school de partment. He did not. he says, exert un- due force in reprimanding the lads and ! belleves he will be fully exomerated by { his evidence. Marshal Lloyd, who did the arresting, said: “I have known Nichols for some time and always thought well of him. The strap he used in punishing the boys was altogether too heavy. The boys are very voung and did not require as severe 2 punishment as was given them to discip- line them. The fathers complained to th School Department and Mr. Rasmussen signed the complaint for the arrest of Nichols. He says he examined his son and found large blue marks where ths strap had left Its imprint.” Nichols was allowed to go on his own recognizance this afternoon by Justice Edgar. The case will come up next Satur- dey morning at 10 o'clock. | 9404+ 0404040 +0+0+0+040 + 0+ 04040404 0+0+0 S ADMINISTERED AN OATH TO o County Clerk Jordan is now debating. at hand the necessary implements with he registered himself.
