IN THE ISLAND REPUBLIC
Talk OF Secession of the Island of
Hawaii
LiliuokaIani Still Has Friends Who Hope for
the Restoration of the Queen.
Prisoners Released

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 13.-Special cor
respondence of the Associated Press from
Honolulu by steamer Australia, dated
January 6, states the Island of Hawaii is
meditating secession from the Hawaiian
government and the formation of it's own
government. When the legislature meets
next month the secession movement will
be brought up. If the residents of Hawaii
should decide to form their government
nothing but outside interference could
prevent. The Dole government would be
powerless, as Hawaii is more thickly popu-
lated than any other island of the group.
Minister of Foreign Affairs Cooper is now
in Hawaii trying to ascertain how wide
spread is the desire for secession. Friends
of the ex-queen are anxious for war be.
tween England and the United States, be-
lieving that in the event of such hostilities
England would seize the Hawaiian Islands
and restore Liliuokalan.
Carl Klemme, exiled from the islands for
conspiracy in connection with the 1895
rebellion, has returned, accompanied by
his wife. He was given no permission to
return and has been notified by the govern
ment if he does not leave at once lie will
be prosecuted for conspiracy. He saws he
will stand trial rather than leave. The re-
on New Years day. They agreed to sup
port the present government.
E. p. Dole, formerly of Riverside, Cali
,fornia, cousin of President Dole, has been
made deputy attorney-general.
The Hawaiian band, reported starving in
an Ohio town, will be brought home at the
expense of the government.

A RACE WAR
Oklahoma Citizens Excited Over Negroes in

Oklahoma Citizens Excited Over Negroes in
the Schools
PERRY, o. T.. Jan. 13.-Since early
morning the whole town has been intensely
excited over the public school question.
When the schools were opened this morn
ing Professor j. ". Augustine denied adj
mittance to colored children in the high
school or other public school buildings. ex-
cept those designated months ago for the
exclusive use of ,,colored children. The en-
ception was of George Washington Alex
ander Webster, a boy of 10 years. in whose
name the mandamus proceedings were
brought three months ago, and decided in
his favor. Professor Augustine holds that
the decree of the court applies only to this
one boy.
In the high school building 500 white
children and 80 colored children-two-
thirds of the total pumber in town-as-
sembed. A crowd of white men and negro
men were there. White school boys had
large stones in their pockets with the in
tention of using them on negroes as they
entered the building. 1t is said every negro
child in the city asked for admittance.
Officers escorted four colored children into
the high school. The teacher made Wig
orous protest against receiving them, but
the children were made to sit down.
1t is rumored that the entire school board
is to be arrested for contempt of court.
White citizens threaten to tear down the
Jail if the arrests are made.

F. j. CANNON SEEMS TO LEAD
Among the Many Candidates for Utah's
Senatorship
A Caucus Of Republican nembers VIII Be
Held Tonight-G. Q. Cannon
Dark Horse

SALT LAKE, Utah, Jan. 13.-On account
of the conference of the Republican men,
bers of the legislature to be held tomor-
row night the senatorial canvass is growing
in interest and each candidate is using
every available means to impress members
with his political fitness for the position of
United States senator. If the conference
should develop strength enough to insure
a regular caucus, the fight would quickly
be narrowed down to two or three contest
ants; otherwise, the balloting is likely to
begin with the Republican vote divided
among at least five candidate
Frank j. Cannon appears to be leader
at present, if surface indications count for
anything, but his opponents claim that he
will receive his full strength on the first
elect.
The mention of the name of George Q.
Cannon in connection with the canvass
seems to be disturbing element. George
M. Cannon, WAC is president of the senate,
in published in nlerview in the Tribune
this morning, is outspoken in his support
of George Q. Cannon for senator. 1t is be-
lieved that any DEVELOPMENT of strength in
his interest would make decided change
in the present situation. Several articles
have appeared in the local papers recently
to the effect that Mr.. Cannon is not a cam
didate. While he is not candidate in the
sense of seeking the election, he has
always held himself, his frieI. DIS say, at the
service of the people, and they claim that
if this distinguished honor were rendered
him by the legislature and he should feel
that he could serve the state to advantage,
he would not decline it.

A Gang Broke Up anG All But One Ar
rested
DENVER, Jan. 13.-Sherif w. W. Pain
ter of Guthrie, o. T., arrived here today
with a requisition from the governor of
Oklahoma for the extradition of Frank
Olive, well-known resident of Trinidad,
on a charge of passing worthless paper.
Assistant Attorney-General Reed declined
to approve the paper on the ground that a
warrant for the arrest of Olive was never
sworn out by the Oklahoma authorities,
that The papers were not accompanied by
the affidavit of the complaining witness
and that the prosecuting attorney had not
sworn to them. However, it is probable
that the papers will be corrected by tele-
graph and that the extradition will be
granted.
Olive is supposed to be one of gang
which has been operating fraudulent bank
checks and disposng of worthless drafts
in Iowa, Kansas, Colorado and Oklahoma.
The gang consisted of William Royce,
George Elwood, Olive and woman, who is
now held in Dodge City, Kan.
Royce was the principal. The first bank
with which Royce was connected was a
branch of the National bank of Iowa,
known as the Citizens bank of Jamaica,
He afterwards established the Citizens
Savings bank of End, in Oklahoma, which
failed shortly afterward. Royce was then
arrested and was sentenced to three
years imprisonment, which he is now serv-
ing. The biggest work of the gang is saih
to have been done in Kansas and over
100000 worth of drafts are said to have
been floated.
George Elwood is now the only one of the
principals who is at large and he is thought
TO be somewhere in Colorado.

MERGED IS MAD
Because the Liquor License Has Been
Reduced

Because the Liquor License Has Been
Reduced
MERGED, Jan. 13.-For years there has
been contest here between the high and
low license elements. At the election
three years ago three high license men
we're elected on the board, for term Of
four years each. They fixed the license at
$50 a month. The keepers of saloons re-
fused to pay, but continued to run their
saloons openly. The district attorney
brought suit for the licanse and got judg-
ment. but the saloonkeepers carried it to
the supreme court, which has not yet
handed down a decision. In December, j..
H. Edwards, one of the high license super
visors, died, and two weeks ago Governor
Budd appointed e. L. Sturgeon, a low
license man, to fill the vacancy. At the
session of the board this afternoon the old
ordinance was repealed and a new one
was passed, fixing the license at 500 per
quarter. The high license people are very
indignant at Governor Budd.
