the rumor is revived, confirmed by the
Japanese, that all were murdered July

known of affairs on the planet Mars as
OF the actual condition of things per-

GuOrlS 70 1OI MIN 10 In
Favor of Bryan.
Boston, Nov. p The Globe tomOr-
row will print a letter to Eugene Debs
urging his withdrawal i'm favor Of
Bryan, signed by Prof. Frank Parsons,
president of the National Public
Ownership league, B. I. Wolower,
founder of the Arena and DR.. G. W.
Calvin, all personal friends of Debs.
The signers are all believers in the CO.
operative commonwealth, but are of
the opinion that it's advent will be
FASTENED by Bryan's election.
The letter is of considerable length
and discusses in it's bearing IS to the
object desired, the socialistics idea OF
the present economical and industrial
conditions.
The signers declared that Bryan
represents a movement against a mon
opoly; that it is better to take the
first step toward improved conditions
than no step at all. They claim the
vote for Bryan is the first practicable
step toward cooperative common
wealth, though neither Bryan nor the
democratic party may realize that fact.

THE CONSTITUTION DOES NOT
FOLLOW THE FLAG.
The Laws Of the Hawaiian Islands
Are in Force Until New
Laws Are Enacted.

Honolulu, Oct. 20, via San Fran
cisco, Nov. 2, Correspondence As
ISOLATED Press)-United States Dis
trict Judge Estee has rendered a de-
cision to the effect that the constitu-
tion does not follow flag, i'm an i'm
portant libel suit that has been before
the courts here for some time.
VIM. III. Marshall was sentenced to
six months Imprisonment for GRIM
tions he made about the late Chief
Justice Judd. He made an appeal to
the supreme court of Hawaii. on
technical grounds. alleging that the
methods pursued during his trla! were
no i'm accordance with American pro-
ceedure.
The lower court WAS sustained, and
Marshall tnrned to Judge Estee with a
writ of habeas coprus.
Judge Estee held that the laws Of
Hawaii, allowing conviction of the
defendant upoa a verdict by nine
jurors, were still in force at the time
of Marshall's trial. which was long
after the resolution a~nnexing Hawaii
to the union. The judge said that
Hawaii before being annexed twas a
free, enlightened state, possessing all
of the attributes of sovereignty, and
when, with their consent, the islands
were annexed by the United States,
not only the lands but the people with
their laws and customs were annexed ;
and by a well established law OF ma
tions, these laws and customs re-
manned i'm force until the new laws
were enacted fer the government of
the territory"
The question OF whether the eonsti-
tuition follows the flag to Hawaii is
one which many people would like to
have decided by the supreme court OF
the United States. One of the circuit
judges here, taking a view opposite to
that of Judge Estee has already re-
leased the prisoner who was convicted
of an Infamous crime without a grand
july Indictment, but the circuit judge,
to whom Marshall's appeal went, held
the other way. The result is the re-
lease of one man and the confirmation
of the sentence of another, thought
both applied on exactly the same
points.
