THE MEMORIAL is
SIDETRACKED
WILCOX TELLS THE HOME RULERS IT WOULD BE BET
TER TO POSTPONE THE MEMORIAL ASKING CON
GRESS TO GIVE HAWAII AUTONOMOUS INDEPEND-
ENCE UNTIL A DELEGATE IS ELECTED

That memorial asking for the inde-
pendence of Hawaii did not materialize
at the Home Rule convention this
morning. 1t was decided to postpone
the consideration of the document until
two years hence when there will be an
election of delegate to Congress.
Ex-Dlegate Robert w. Wilcox had
announced yesterday that he would
have the memorial ready by today's
session of the convention. This morn
ing he made a speech on the subject, in
which he stated that it had been decid-
ed not to present the memorial for the
present. 1t would be better, said the
eX-delegate, to present the memorial
two years hence when there would be
an election of delegate to Congress.
The speaker said that inasmuch as
America had granted self government
to Cuba and it had been stated in Con-
gress that if the Ftlipinos were capable
of self government. they would be Civ
en- their independence, there was excel
Int reason why some form of autonomy
should be given to Hawaii. 1t was ne
cessary that this country should govern
itself for there were laws which, while
good for the mainland were not good
for these Islands. The speaker named
the matter of the labor for the planta-

HOW PILOT ENGLISH DIED.

By the mail that arrived today from
Maui on the steamer Mauna Loa, the
finding of the coroner's inquest into the
cause of the death of Pilot Robert
English was received at the police sta
tion. The following verdict was re-
turned on June 26 by the coroner's jury
That he Robert English) accidental

tions. He said that under the present
form of government it was impossible
Tor them to secure the necessary
amount of labor. If we had autonomy.
ample laws looking for the admission Of
Chinese laborers could be passed. The
customs receipts might also he secured.
There was not much discussion of the
matter. Wilcox said that it would be
wiser to wait with the memorial and
the convention thought so too, so the
document is understood not to have
been presented.
Much of the session this morning was
occupied with the consideration of
amendments to the constitution. A
number of changes were made and
some new sections were added. There
was desire on the part of some of the
members to have the old native societies
eliminated and the elements to be unit
ed under the name of the Kuokoa
Home Rule party. This measure did
not prevail however. The matter of
supporting the native Home Rule news
paper was also discussed.
Charles Motley, treasurer of the Home
Rule party, is a probable candidate for
Sheriff of Oahu. Motley is one of the
hustlers of the party and many Home
Rulers think he would make a strong
candidate for sheriff.

READY TO GIVE
AID TO KANSAS
But Pension Commissioners Ware Has
Somewhat MuddIed
Things.

Lincoln, Neb., June 16.-Governor
Mickey has written to Governor Bailey,
of Kansas, inquiring as to the needs
of the flood sufferers of that state, and
announcing his readiness to issue
proclamation urging the people of Ne
braska to contribute relief if it meets
with the approval of the Kansas ex-
ecutive.
Governor Mickey has withheld his
proclamation because of the seeming
division of opinion in Kansas of the
necessity of outside aid. Private sub
scriptions have already been made in
this state. But Governor Bailey has
twice since Saturday over his own sig
nature declared that Kansas was in
great need of help, so that Nebraskans
will be given an opportunity to send
relief.

PRESIDENT TAKEN TO TASK
Western Federation of Miners Condemns
Him for Sending United States Troops

Denver, June 16.-In a set of reso-

mite of the Western Federation of
Miners President Roosevelt is severe
ly taken to task for ordering federal
troops to quell the disturbance at
Morenci. A. T. The resolutions charge
that a member of the brotherhood OF
Locomotive Firemen. the president, by
mis- action has been guilty of treason
to the principles of organized labor.
The resolutions appeal to the toilers
of the nation Ito array themselves on
the political battle ground in 1904 and
use the franchise of citizenship toOver-
throw at the ballot box system that
demands for its maintenance and per-
petuation the murderous implement Of
barbarism."

SEVERE KNOCK" UPON
MUSCATINE MELONS

From time TO time there has been
complaint that the Muscatine island
melon of commerce has appeared to
partake of the nature of the green
and inhospitable gourd. 1t comes
hard to make such an admission as
this. but the belief is now and then
forced home that somebody down in
the vicinity of Fruitland has been
trying to bud the rich and juicy wa
termelon of our childhood days onto
the rank and rampant vine of the
Early Mammoth Cow pumpkin, seek
ing thereby to give the world melon
ahead of the market and world
beater for the size.
Again. in eating the alleged musky
cantaloup of that famed garden spot
the notion takes possession of one.
now and then. that there is more
fact than fiction i'm the story that
the mUSkmelonS have been reared in
the same bed with the cucumbers.
The Muscatine papers pay consid-
cradle attention to the condition Of
the local melon crop, but the people
down that way may as we'll be in
formed that their business is in bad
order, and that melon eaters in other
parts give other fields the preference,
and that Judges of the fruit Will have
nothing to do with the product of n
territory once famous for quality,
says a contemporary.
The Nuscatine growers have
brought the loss to themselves by
their dishonesty in propagating the
fruit. In order To ship their melons
it is claimed they cross the vines with
pumpkins or citron until the melons
are no longer fit to eat. The owners
may be able to ship them to Alaska
in cargo of rubble stone. but the
people do not want them. and have
turned to other fields where the soil
is favorable and where the honest
farmer is not guilty of dishonest
practices. The fact is that better
melons can be raised all around the
country than have been produced
about Muscatine for the past few
years. and unless the growers secure
supply Of purer seed they might
better plead guilty and quit the busi-
ness.

CHARGE is DELIVERED.
IN PEONAGE CASE
Judge Jones Tells an Alabama Grand
Jury What to Do as to
Slavery.

Montgomery, Ala, June 16.-Judge
Jones, in the United States court here,
delivered special charge to the grand
jury investigating the peonage cases in
which he took occasion to say that
these cases were by no means general,
but confined to two or three counties.
The court urged indie -ments in all
cases where the law had been vio-
lated.
In response to the request of the jury
for a construction of the Alabama
statute knownas the criminal contract
law which permits any person to con-
fesS judgment for costs against per-
sons convicted of miSdemeanOrs, and
requiring such person so convicted to
work out the fine. Judge Jones said the
statute was viOlative of the federal
constitution, in that it was civil con-
tract and no one could be imprisoned
for debt or forced to serve a master
to pay such debts.

PROGRESS OF TIE LAND BILL
House of Commons Gets Down to Real
Work on the Great Pleasure
for Ireland.

London, June 16.-The house of
commons went into committee on the
Irish land bill. The discussion of the
various clauses is expected TO occupy
most of the week, as scores of amend
ments thereto have been handed in.
The question of fixing a minimum
price is regarded as being one of the
most vital and most contentious points
of the bill, and when once settled the
consideration of the rest of the meas
ure is expected to proceed more rap
idly and smoothly.
Generally speaking the landlords IA
vor a fixed minimum price and the
tenants desire to be in Il position to
secure their holdings at the market
value, unaffected by any statuatorylim
it as to price.

cured. A report from Iona, seventeen
miles from Heppner, states that 800
bodies have been recovered.
Wall of Water Twenty Feet High.
4 messenger who arrived at Iona
states that wall of water twenty feet
high rushed down into the gulch in
which Heppner is situated and carried
everything before it. The hOCd came
with such suddenness that the inhab
itants were unable TO seek places of
safety and were carried down to death
by the awful rush of water. Almost the
entire residence portion of the town
was wiped out, but some of the busi-
ness part, which is on higher ground,
escaped. Huge bOulders weighing ton
were carried down by the current ana
many people killed by being dashed
against the rocky bluff.
Two Hundred Bodies Recovered.
Early in the afternoon thunder
storm occurred, covering a wide region
of country, and later a heavy rain
storm set in, many of the small
streams over1owiug their banks in
very short time. Bridges were swept
away like straws, and the darkness of
night soon made the situation more
appalling. AS soon as possible after
the terrible food subsided the work of
relief was commenced by the citizens
of the town. Dozens of bodies were
found lodged along the bends of the
stream, and in several places they
We're piled over one another. Twenty
hours after the flood 200 bodies had
