THE POETS SONG.


a bird of richest song fiew out
And piped his carol full of cheer.
And long he winged his way about,
But few would wait his song to hear.
With sorrow, in his lonely nest,
He hid his sweet song in his breast
But come had heard that song Of joy.
1t came and soothed the pangs of pain.
Gave hope where doubt rose to destroy
Dospairing souls tried once again.
It lifted hearts all tempest tossed
That song. though stilled, was never lost.
A poet, no one knew him then,
Sang oat his carol fun OF cheer,
OF hope and faith and love for men,
But few would wait his song to hear
The poet He is deadi But yet
The songs he sang no hearts forget.

NOT TPARDON But REPREVE
TO BE ASKED IN THE CASE OF
IHARA.
President Dole VIII BE Asked Not to
Let the Man Hang Till Constitutional
Questions Are Settled.

The constitutionality of a verdict in
a criminal case by less than the unan-
nous vote of jury of twelve, and of
criminal prosecutions in capital cases
other than by indictment by grand
jury is to be raised again and in an
other forum.
An appeal in behalf of Ihara, the
japanese under sentence of DEATH Is
to be made on these grounds to Pres
ident Dole. The appeal will not be for
pardon or a Communication of sentence.
but for a reprieve pending decision
of the questions raised by a Federal
Court
The question will be presented in this
way: That there is a grave doubt held
by many attorneys, whether since an
neXation the Federal constitution
al principle requiring indictment
by grand jury and conviction by a
unanimous verdict of twelve is not now
the law of Hawaii. The question has
rot yet been presented to a. Federal
Court but is bound to be, sooner or
later. To hang a man and afterwards
to find out that he was not legally
hanged, would be both embarrassing
and repugnant to our ideas of justice.
For that reason a rcprieve should be
granted pending a decision that will set
this question at rest
A. G.. M. Robertson, Ihara's attor-
ney, says that the appeal for reprieve
Will probably be made early next week.

Would BUILD A DRY DOCK
PLANS FOR A LARGE ONE AT
KAKAAKO.
Secretary Long of the Navy Refuses
to Grant a Franchise and the Project
Falls Through.

Surveys We're recently made and for
warded to Washington for a new dry
dock here, to cost about 81 ,250.000 but
an answer has just arrived from Secre-
tary of the Navy Long stating that
the Department does not desire to
grant the franchise asked for. The
money needed for the construction Of
the dock was all obtainable here, and
10 assistance was asked from the gov
ernment except that the land be given,
on the water front near where the new
buildings of the Honolulu Iron Works
are being constructed, at Kakaako.
The surveys provided for a dock 600
feet in length and thirty feet in depth,
built so that its length might be eX-
tended to $50 feet. The plans were sub
mitted to Commander Merry and he
approved of them, and it was hoped
that the Navy Department would be
willing to allow the use of the land.
The proposal submitted was that the
department should have precedence in
use of the dock at all times, and it was
expected that this privilege would be
paid for.
The reply from Washington puts an
end to the project, however and the
parties interested have only their plans
to show for all their trouble. Blue
prints of the plans had been made at
some expense, and about two weeks
were spent in making the surveys.
Secretary Longs reply to the communi-
cation sent from here is as follows:
"Sir:-The Department is in receipt
of your letter of the 14th instant, in
which you state that you have made a
survey of piece of land on the harbor
of Honolulu, which is under the United
States authorities, with a view to con-
structing a dry dock thereon, and in
quire whether or not the United States
will grant the land for the purpose of
the construction of such dry dock.
I'm reply l have to inform you that
the Chief of the Bureau of Equipment,
to whom your letter was referred, re-
ports that he is of the opinion that it
is not advisable to take any steps with
a view of providing land for the pur-
pose of constructing a dry dock, as re-
quested by you.
Very respectfully,
u. d. LONG,
Secretary.
