The s. f. Argonaut, in recent is
sue, has the following to say of this
matter:
MANY readers will remember the
interest that was aroused six years
ago by the case of Charles Becker
With two Others, Becker raised draft
of $12 to $4,000, deposited it in the
Nevada Bank, and after drawing $16,-
OG0 disappeared. The original draft
was drawn by the Bank of Woodland
on the Crocker-Woolworth Bank, and
the forgery was soon discovered. The
three conspirators were captured, and
Becker finally confessed to his share
in the crime, and was sentenced to
Quentin. Becker was the leader of the
gang. By the use OF aniline dyes,
darning needle, sharp knife, and
some paper similar to that on which
the draft was drawn, he removed the
writing and perforations necessary for
his purpose, and wrote in the changed
figures. The work was mechanically
perfect and Becker was rightfully re,
garded as the most expert forger in
America. His enforced residence in
the penitentiary has not made him
penitent, for he has repeatedly an
nounced that he will show the bank
ing community that he has not yet eX'
pended all his ingenuity and art, and
that when he gets out he will make a
bigger haul than any he has made
heretofore. That the bankers do not
regard this as an idle boast, is indicat'
ed by the fact that the American Ban
kers' Association is reported to be Sc
riously considering the proposition OF
paying him an annuity of $4,000 in
payments OF $500, on condi-
ton that he will promise to be good"
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1902-09-17
BE GOOD NOW!

A new and novel idea that of max
ing felon to stay good in the future
by paying him a large bonus to do so.
The particular felon we refer to is "to
be paid an annuity for being good"
and the idea is an entirely American
one. In order that one should be good,
after being imprisoned for being bad,
those interested in reforming him are
thinking seriously of paying him hand
somely not to do it again. If this per.
son should decide to do so, he will no
doubt be assured of good living as
the outcome of his once being bad, and
in the future he must be good We
hope that this will not be an incentive
to others to follow in his footsteps and
be bad, so as to receive like annu-
ity to be good, but rather, if the devil
is in man, nothing can change him
unless there still remains in him some
spark of goodness. This is an inge--
nious method of reforming man,
who is sinner in the community that
he lives in.

he was Democrat in his feelings.

we have ever been under the impress

was written, the late doctor withheld
it for reasons of his own, notifying us
of his intention But he left implicit

4 Voice From The Grave
The Late Dr.. Oliver in Bis
CVn Deielss.

ED The INDEPENDENT: AS the
friend of DR.. Richard Oliver, deceased,
late physician at the leper settlement,
now that the management of the set
tlement is before the Commission of
Senators, it seems to me fitting and
proper that letter which he wrote fol
publication and signed should be made
public. May ] ask you to give the let.
ter space in your columng.
DAVID DAYTON.
Honolulu, Sept. 16, 1902.
ED The INDEPENDENT Having at
length concluded my business relations
with the Board of Health-though
rather late in the day-I feel at liberty
TO say few words ON the report OF tho
investigating committee that visited
the leper settlement in April last.
For what reason DR.. Pratt, a paid
employe of the Board was placed on
that committee, is beyond my compre'
hension.
In the report of the committee, sea
that l am charged with having me
elected the prisoner, and also my work
in other respects" This, absolutely
deny.
The committee made no attempt to
test the Yeracity Of the witnesses,
was not confronted with any of them,
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1902-09-17
nor allowed to hear their evidence.

III is not necessary for me now tC
give my account of the affair. A fail
statement of the case has already an.
peared in the Bulletin and Independent,
from the pen of Dispenser"
! have heard it said that before the
investigating committee landed at Ka-
laupapa it was understood among its
members that should be made to bear
the brunt of the charges that might
be brought forward.
1t is well known that Reynolds wrote
TO Acting Superintendent Waiamau tho
week preceding the visit of the com.
mittee, and that Waiamau had frequent
and prolonged consultations after this
with the jailor.
When the report says that there is
no other place on earth where lepros,
can be studied so advantageously as al
the leper settlement at Molokai. and
that the physician stationed there, il
he can rise to his opportunities. has
good prospects, if not worldwide
fame" one is inclined to smile at the
utter ignorance of the members of the
committee in regard to the condition
of things at the settlement. 1t is well
known to kamaainas outside and to
residents in the settlement that the
above assertion of the committee is di
rectly contrary to fact The COLONY al
the settlement is an independent com.
munity, and the people there are very
apt to resent any interference With
their liberty or their privileges. They
object strongly to being made subjects
of experiment, and it would be at the
risk of his life, were the doctor to try
TO make post -mortem examination. In
former times, disturbances have been
caused by indiscreet attempts of this
kind.
DR.. Moore, as one of the committee,
although taking high ground as tc
what the ambition of a resident physi.
clan should be. does not strike me aa
being a person who would have cour
age enough to pursue scientific enquiry
the lepers.
Some time ago he went to Kalaupapa
with DR.. Pratt, and after he was
with the particular business
in hand, asked me if there was any,
thing to be seen of more than usual

All our Republican contemporaries
are calling Prince Cupid as Prince Ku-
hio. That is all right, for it is his
name. But do they know what that
name signifies? "Ku" is to stand, and
'hi-o" is to lean over slantingly. and
the Interpretation of the name would
be Ito stand in a slanting Tor leaning)
position" and the natives are now
saying that his recent political con-
duct is in perfect accord with his
name, for he stood with the people and
then Topped over There is also an
other application to the name which
we will not use, as it is too personal
and indecent, and we leave it to those
who understand our language to make
and find out the same.

NEVADA FUSIONISTS
CHOOSE A TICKET
John Sparks for Governor-NewIand for
Senator and c. D. Van Duser for
Congress.

RENO, New, Aug. 2S.-The Silver party
convention today made these nominations
Lieutenant governor, Lemuel Allen;
supreme judge, G. F. Talbot; secretary of
state, Eugene Howell; treasurer, David
Ryan; surveyor general, E. d. Kelly; re-
gent of state university, C. E. Mack
The Democratic convention made these
nominations:
United States senator, F. G. Newlands:
representative in congress, c. D. Van
Duser; governor, John Sparks; attorney
general, James G. Sweeney; superintend-
ent of public instruction, John Edwards /;
regent of state university, w. w Booker.
This practically completes the labor of
both conventions, and ali that remains
to be done is for them to meet in joint
convention and ratify the nominations
made. The fight for United States sena-
tor promises to be hard-fought battle
between the Republican and fusion par
ties. Thomas p. Maley has been a resi-
dent of Nevada for forty years. and has
occupied many places of trust and honor.
For more than fifteen years he has been
United States judge for the district of
Nevada.
Francis G. Newlands has been a resi-
dent of this state for about tweve years.
ten of which have been spent in congress-
Two years ago Newlands announced that
he would be candidate for the United
States senate.
