ONE OF THE FIRST UNIVERSITY
EXTENSIONISTS.

Executive Ability-Course of Lee
lures for the Summer.

DR.. John Dewey the University EX-
tension lecturere, who will take charge
of the work here inaugerated by Pro-
fessor ROlfe last spring, Is a man of
about 40, one of the most famous edu-
Gators of the middle northwest and an
aggressive and successful worker in his
profession.

and the arrangement of program will
be held at the High school building
Monday evening Judge w. f. Frear
will preside. There will be talks by
the lecturer, by Professor ROlfe, Minis
ter Mott-Smith, Mr.. Townsend and
others. Following this the schedule of
meetings and lecturers will be taken
up.
DIR. Dewey is described as most en-
ergetic man. He is possessed of Won
derful executive ability and is just the
man to set up a structure already start
ed and push it forward. The work of
Professor Rolfe becomes a most eX-
cellent and substantial foundation, rem
dering less difficult the shaping of a
permanent organization.
1t is purposed to make the University
Extension class permanent here. All
students, particularly of literature, con-
slider it most important 1t is intended
to have one or more of the very best
lecturers visit the city each summer.
Besides 1t is expected that the members
will ultimately be able to take up the
work and carry it forward.
The University lectures will have
continuance with the summer school
The program of the latter will be Sc
shaped that students will have the OPP
portunity of hearing DR.. Dewey on each
occasion. This will be an unusual priv.
ilege, particularly to country teachers
DR.. Dewey is stopping with George
Castle in Manoa valley.

TRIAL MONDAY FOR KILLING;
GILLESPIE.
Neither Side VIII Say Whether Plea
of Guilty to Murder in Second De-
gree viii be Accepted

1t was rumored this morning that
George Wade, who is to be tried Mon
day for the killing of Gillespie, would
plead guilty to murder in the second
degree, to save his neck
Whether or not the Government has
agreed to accept this plea, which may
carry with it Imprisonment for life, in
lieu of insisting on going to the expense
and taking up the time of a trial, could
not be learned. Wade's attorney, A. l..
c. Atkinson, said he had nothing to
say about the matter. Attorney Cen
eral Cooper is out of town, and all that
Deputy Attorney General Dole would
say was: "The case will come up Mon
day; what is done you will know then -
The punishment for murder in the
second degree is thus fixed by the stat
ute:
Whoever is guilty of murder in the
second degree shall be punished by i'm
prisonment at hard labor for life or for
term of years not less than twenty,
in the discretion of the court"

PRINCIPAL DEFENDANT IN THE
wAIALUA STOCK CASE.
Tells of Correspondence With Colonel
soper and the option Given Him.
Stiff Cross Examination.

The old Waialua stock case, or that
part of ii represented by the suit of
Colonel j. H. Soper and others against
b. +. Dillingham; and the Waialua Agri-
cultural Company, has been the sensa-
tion in the circuit court today. The
hearing was on before Judge Perry at
chambers.
The principal witness of the forenoon
was b. f. Dillingham;, one of the de-
PENDANTS. He was brought on by Mr.
Hatch, his attorney. The witness ro1d
the complete story of the planning of
the Waialua plantation and the deal
ing with Mr.. Valentine and Colonel
Soper. Letters addressed to Colonel
Soper were produced in evidence. read
and explained.
The interesting part of the eXamina
tiOn was the cross questioning of At
torney A. B. McClanahan. There was
considerable legal jockeying over some
of the questions.
Mr.. Dillingham; told about the story
given out by him in answer to the var
iOus bills filed. Letters in May and
June were addressed to Colonel Soper
concerning the option. Negotiations
had been going on with Valentine. Wit
ness denied that, after his first consul
tation with that gentleman, that he had
much confidence in Mr.. Valentines
millions on the coast"
II consider myself able to borrow
money on the coast if l need it," added
the promoter. "At least l have been
pretty successful in that line.
'At the same time l wished to give
Valentine and Colonel Soper a show"
There was considerable talk about a
letter written by Mr.. Dillingham; in
which reference was made to the dan
ger of a diversion of capital to the
Philippines, Cuba and Porto Rico. Wit
ness admitted that this probably refer
red to American capital.
Later, added the witness, after the
plantation was started. it was clear
that all of the stock was desired here.
Mr.. Soper, witness alleged. was duly
notified and the option cancelled.
There the matter rests. 1t will be
some days before a decision is present
ed. This case will be followed by the
several others inaugurated by men who
had purchased the Soper stock.
Kinney, Ballou & McClanahan appear
for the plaintiffs; and F. NJ. Hatch for
respondent.

ing machines used in the United States
than of any other one make. This is q
very excellent guarantee that they are
one of the very best machines. The
points of merit are strength, durabil-
