IS OPEN 70 CONVICTION
II. S. RAND SEEKS INFORMATION
ON ANNEXATION.
\ Son-inLaw of United Stares Senator
Gear. Who is Now Visiting in the
Islands. has This to Say.

II. ). Rand, son-in-law IF Senator
Gear of Iowa, who is spending the
winter here with his wife and son, is
II little inclined to be skeptical as TO
the advantages of anneXati N 10 the
United States, but he is open to con-
viction, and is making a study Of the
question with a view to forming an
opinion. Mr.. Rand is wideawake
American, who takes great deal of
interest in politics at home. He il ont
spoken in his opinions, but rot Stub
born, and is honestly endeavoring TO
secure light on the annexation ours-
ton.
Last summer during our state,
county and city political conventions"
he said, 81 was surprised to find how
much interest was being taken in an
neNation. Whenever a crowd gather
ed, and there was public speaking. the
mere mention of Hawaii was invari-
ably signal for the people to get up
on their feet and cheer themselves
hoarse. Had Congress been in session
at that time it would have been fore
ed by public opinion to have annexed
the Islands.
Nov people say they must have
time to consider the matter. so that
the Islanders here must not expect q
hasty action on the part of Congress.
At the time | left home. two months
ago, my father-in-law. Senator Gear,
said that he had not yet had time TO
study the Hawaiian question sufficient
ly, so that he could not express an
opinion on the subject"
Mr. Rand sailed yesterday for a trip
through the coffee fields and to the
Volcano. His friends predict that
when he returns he will have been
convinced that the Islands are very
valuable possession.

4 BIT OF 4 FIRE

The brush and grass on kaena Point
is burning and the reflection of the
ire could be clearly seen from this
city list night. 1t was discernible
half way aross the Kauai channel and
the captains of the Mikahala and the
James Mallee both ran close in last
night, believing it to be a ship on fire.
Captain Tullet says that the fire was
winding around the mountain like a
huge serpent. The blaze was probab-
ly started from the Japanese camp on
the railroad grade. As there is moth
ing in that vicinity to burn except
rocks and lantana, no serious harm
can be done.

CONV|CTS MADE HAPPY
GIVEN THEIR LIBERTY BY THE
TWO COUNCILS.
Thomas b. Walker is Now Free
Man-Captain Anderson of the Hen
rietta is Pardoned.

Thomas b. Walker, the stone mason,
who took a shot at John Emmclutn,
with Il rifle last spring, was pardoned
by the Council of State yesterday af-
ternoon. Walker was sentenced to
one years Imprisonment at hard la
Dor in Oahu prison. He had but three
months to serve.
Yakama Keltua, native in the po-
lice service at Wailuku, Maui, who
served term of two years for forge
ry in the early SOS. was pardoned and
his citizenship rights restored. Kekua
has lived straightforward life since
leaving the prison.
Jeromiuio Moemoe, who was senten-
ced to six years imprisonment about
three years ago, for completely in a
burglary near Smiths bridge, IIonolu-
lu, was granted Il pardon. Moemoe is
a native of Philippines. His pardon
was recommended by the prison au-
thorities on Hawaii. Sheriff Andrews,
Judge Hitchcock and Gardner X. Will
der, who as deputy attorney general,
secured Moemoe's conviction.
Naone, IA 16 year old Hawaiian lad,
sentenced to four years for larceny,
was given his pardon. He was a very
unruly prisoner until four years ago,
when he took Il sudden turn for the
good. Jailor Low recommended the
boys pardon.
Captain w. B. Anderson of the
Schooner Henrietta. who was sent to
prison for importing opium, and fined
$500, is a happy man as a result of the
n
is the last of the IIenrietta's prisoners
to receive clemency.
Probably the most deserving of all
the prisoners .pardoned was David Ella
a Hawaiian, who is serving a sentence
for assault. There was some doubt as
to his guilt at the time of the convic-
ton. Ella has been a trusty at the
police station. Marshal Brown, War.
den Law and Prison Inspectors Low
rey and Magoon heartily recommend
ed the pardon.
The Attorney General mentioned
that c. B. Parsons, assault had asked
for pardon and that the prison board
was unanimously against interfer-
ence.
No action at all was taken on the
application for communication to life
sentences of the two Lahaina Japa-
nese now under sentence of death for
killing n woman, and whose motions
for new trials are now pending before
the Supreme Court.
There was no vote on the plea of All
Wal, a Chinese chicken thief, who has
several months yet to serve for chick
en- stealing. and who wants to be lib
Grated on condition that he leave the
country.
