A jury was speedily summoned to the
camp by the High Sheriff and after con-
sidering the evidence returned verdict
that the said George H. Scott came to
his death at Camp Mckinley, Honolulu,
on Sunday morning August Is, 1901 by
a perforating gunshot wound inflicted
by his own hand" The jury consisted
of Ralph Jones, w. K. Snow, George ].
Nixon, j. j. Hector, Hugh Boyle and
Frederick Lenson. Besides the testi-
mony of those already mentioned as
having been present and the finding of
the body, John Spokes identified the
body and also the hand writing of the
deceased, while William Scott had
heard him complain of illness and had
also heard the deceased say on one oc-
casion that he intended to take his own
life.
Scott had been suffering for the past
three weeks with an attack of jaundice
while his dependency of late deepened
with the disappearance of Hornet
concerning which he was summoned to
appear before the grand jury. Scott
was a particular friend of the missing
jeweler and gave the police what little
information they have been able to Sc
cure concerning his possible where
abouts.

native of the state of Pennsylvania.
He enlisted at Philadelphia January "a
1899 and was assigned to the Goth Coast
Artillery arriving on the islands with

STATEHOOD FOR HAWAII.

1t appears that the people of the terri
tory of Hawaipi do not like the PROPOSE
ton of one of their newspapers to have
the territory made into two or three
counties of California. The adva ntage
in annexation to California would be
that the Hawaiians would get statehood
Immediately by that process and they
would be part of big state. They
want a state of Hawaii. however, and a
bill asking admission is to be presented
at the opening of Congress by Robert
w. Wilcox, the delegate from Hawaii.
AS Hawaii has been a territory only
about a year, this statehood movement
would seem to be somewhat sudden.
Two things can be urged in favor of
the statehood idea, Hawaii has $4,000
inhabitants, which is a larger number
than are in the states of Nevada or
Wyoming-a larger number, in fact,
than are in both these states together
and ii was an Independent republic he
fore being annexed to the United st ties.
The Texas republic became state OF
the Union Immediately on it's annexa-
ton, and 1t had no more population at
that time than Hawaii has now. But,
OF course, Texas was contiguous terri
tory, most of its inhabitants were
whites and its future. immediate and
remote. was much brighter than Is Ia

Especial to News and Observer


Durham, N. c., April 1O.--The Public
School Library Act passed by the last
Legislature gave impetus to move that
will ultimately result in every school in
Durham county getting a library.
As soon as the provisions of the act
We're made known six schools in this
county-East West Durham and Glenn
schools, Durham township, Patrick Hen
ry and New Hope schools, Patterson
township, and loves school, Cedar Fork,
deposited SO each with Superintendent
Massey and claimed the additional $40
$40 from the county board of education
and $40 from the State, board-thus insur-
ing $50 library for each of the six
schools.
But there were others So many schools
in the county wanted to take advantage
of the library act that the Board of Ed
ucation called meeting and it was de-
cided that the county would give $40 to
every school that raised an additional
$40.
Now General ]. S. Carr, one of the
States most liberal and philanthropic cit
liens, has come forward and offered to
take the place of the State in giving the
other $40 to- all such schools that may
wish a library.
In conversation with Superintendent
Massey your correspondent was inform
ed that it was his opinion that each Of
the fifty or more schools In the county
would take advantage of the generous Of
fer made by General Carr and the coun-
ty board, and that neat little library
would be in every school inside the
next two or three months. Already a
number of the schools have the money in
hand, having raised it with the idea of
getting in on the proposition made by the
State.

THEY COULDNOT Be CONVICTED
Senator Simmons Says Thatif HoIton Wanted
to Do Gracious Thing, it is Pity He
Should Have Done it UngraciousIy.

Senator Simmons, State chairman,
who has taken deep interest in the
registrar cases, was asked yesterday
what he thought of the disposition Of
the cases against the registrars He
said:
Il see some of the newspapers state
that l have been to Greensboro in CON
nection with the cases against the Reg
istrars. This is a mistake. l did not
go to Greensboro, because it had been
announced in advance that these cases
would be mol pressed and that defen-
dants and witnesses had been notified not
to attend court.
From the beginning of these prose-
cutions l have felt sure the defendants
could not be convicted, for it has been
clear to me that the statute under which
they were indicted had no application and
that these State officers were not amen
able to Federal indictment for discharg-
ing duty devolved upon them by the
laws of their State.
In mol pressing these indictments, Mr..
Holton has done what / have been satis-
fed all along he would eventually do, but
l regret that he should seek to use the
pGE'er of his office to gain a petty parti-
san advantage by tying string to the
order of dismissal and publishing a
threatening partisan statement. Of course
ke has no thought of ever reinstating
these cases and his threatening publica-
tion will not intimidate anyone. Yet in
view of the fact that he claims his ac-
tion in dismissing these cases was in part
intended as peace Offering it does seem
that ordinary good sense would have re-
strained him from indulging in state
ments and imputations offensive and in
