Fact That Graves OF Mr.. and Mrs.
Davis Are to Be Opened lndi-
Gates That. Authorities Need
Evidence to Convict
FEAR EXPRESSED THAT
PRISONER WILL COLLAPSE
The Effort to Face Her Position
CourageousIy Seems to Be
Wearing Heavily Upon the
Woman and Officials Fear She
Will Break Down

Buzzards Bay, Mass. Nov. 11.-At the
present moment interest in the murder
cases including the name of Miss Jane
Toppan centers in the question, when
will the authorities disinter the bodies
of Mr.. and Mrs. A. P. Davis for pur-
poses of examination.
Mr.. and Mrs Davis, were the parents
of Mrs. Mary Gibbs and Mrs. Annie
Gordon, concerning whose death an
inquest already is in progress. There is
a sentiment here of considerable
weight, apparently, that the govern
ment has a weak case against Miss
.Toppan or it would not go to the
trouble of taking up the bodies of Mr.
and Mrs. Davis. 1t is understood the
graves will be opened sometime this
week.
News comes from Barnstable that
Miss Toppan is far from we'll and that
fears of a collapse are felt. The effort
to face her position courageously seems
to be wearing heavily upon the woman.

Sofia, Bulgaria, Nov. 11.-From anoth-
err letter that has been received from
Miss Ellen NJ. Stone, the abducted
American missionary, 1T appears that
she is enduring the trials of her hard
experience with fortitude, forgetting
herself in her anxiety for her compan-
ion, Nine. Tsilka.
Miss Stone does not dare to complain
Of the treatment to which they are
subjected but she finds the confine-
ment irksome and the weather ex-
tremely trying.
The tone of the latest letter received
from her is hopeful. The brlgands. by
dating the letters at places in Macedo-
mia and delaying their delivery, seek
to create the appearance of being far
distant.
The Bulgarian government continues
to interfere in the negotiations with
the object of forcing transfer Of them

THE PRE-ARRANGED BURGLARY
George Robinson Gives His Side of
the Story.


To the Honolulu Public: On April 49,
1901, there appeared in the Pacific Com
mercial Advertiser an article the tenor
of which was to accuse me of attempting
to form conspiracy with the aid of GER
tain Chinese in committing a burglary.
I deem it my duty to myself and my
friends at this time to make an explana-
ton of the whole affair and challenge
contradiction from any person or persons
who dare to come forward and say the
facts hereinafter stated are not true in
every particular.
Some time ago a Chinese boy in my
employ was approached by another chi
nese and informed that, for a considera-
ton, he would furnish him with proof
Of certain person making business Oh
breaking and entering stores in and about
Chinatown. After due elaboration l en-
ployed this Chinaman to see If he could
arrange matters so the police and mysef
could be at some appointed place and
catch these burglars.
Two days thereafter the man came to
me and told me he had made the ar
rangement for me to say what place
should be robbed.
/ named the place, a Japanese store on
Nuuanu street, that l and not Mr.. Bow
ers am paid to guard, time and manner
and at once called upon the Deputy Sher-
iff, stated the facts TO him and asked
him to be with me to assist in the cap
ture.
He accepted my offer and on the night
the affair was to have taken place he
and myself hid ourselves in the back
yard of the store and remained there
| over two hours.
| These are the facts as they We're, and
they were not done with any intention OF
running Mr.. Bowers or any one else and
the method used is one used by all the
police of the world.

After the election of new members and
transaction Of official business President
Jack introduced the essayist for the even
ing, DR. Louis R. Klemm Of the bureau OF
education, who gave a lecture on "A New
Departure in American Public Education"
He dwelt especially on the modern need, In
contrast with the former lack OF special
training, in the various walks of life, en-
phasizing the fact that a general education
will not alone insure success in life. There
is required in this day. he said. for every
application OF energy amount Of specific
knowledge and skill without which, as the
German proverb has It, ''One may be a
good man, but remain poor musician
Municipal, state and federal governments
and private effort as well fortunately have
offered every facility to the young for OBJ
tanning sufficient preparation.
The lecturer reviewed the efforts made IN
the United States and in Europe, especially
In France. to the teaching OF civics and
morals and the gradual abandonment Of
the old ideas which made religious and
civic virtues inter-dependent. But TO the
teachers of our own country, he said, 70
due the novel and effective way Of teach
ing citizenship based upon the principle
that self-activity, self-determination. self
command and self government are capable
of producing a strong character.
DIR. Klemm also reviewed the weak points
and the objections which have been raised
against the system, at the same time show
ing how it could be adapted to ell classes
and ages of pupils. his conclusion being
that The idea is so eminently an Ameri-
can idea, so logically grown out OF our
form and practice OF government that it
seems to deserve the heartiest sympathy
and earliest study Of American men and
women"
