A Conductors Baton Lost.

in musical circles here.
The baton is valued very highly by
Mr.. Walker, as 1t was presented to
him by local slee club, of which he
was conductor. Mr. Walker thinks =

CROWD SAW THE HANGING.
A large crowd Witnessed the execu-
ton. Those who couldn't get tickets
of admission watched from the out
side. A line of carriages extended a
long the entire Waikiki end of the
prison wall. There were several hun
dred people outside, and they could
just see the top of Tanbara's head be-
fore the drop fell. There were a few
ladies in that crowd outside. Inside
We're probably four score men, nearly
all of them federal and police officials.
Many Territorial officials were also
present. A line of guards was drawn
up Just in front of the scaffold and

THE FUNERAL.

The body was later given over to the
taken to the Japanese Christian church
on Kukui street near st. Louis Col
lege. The burial service was read by
Mr.. Motakawa and was quite brief.
There were but few Japanese present
and no display of any kind The body
was then taken to the Japanese plot in
the Makiki cemetery and buried.
FERRIS WAS SCARED.
George Ferris, who occupied the cell
next to that of Tanbara, did not relish
the proceedings at all. He heard the
reading OF the death warrant by Mar
shall Hendry and did not seem to like
it. He is under sentence of death but
it is said that the Governor will COM
mute this to life imprisonment.
The gallows was tried on another
japanese in the morning, but the farce
was not carried through TO compile
ton. This was just to give the guards
a chance to see how it worked.
THE CRIME.
The crime for which Tanbara suffer-
ed death was the murder of Captain
Jorgen J. Jacobsen of the schooner
Fred ]. Wood. The captain had his
wife and two children with him at the
time. The deed was committed with a
knife. Witnesses at the trial testified
that the captain went below to awaken
the cabin boy, and as he started to
leave he was attacked by Tanbara with
a large bread knife taken from the
kitchen table. He was stabbed in the
groin and died almost instantly. Later
First Mate Meyer held a trial OF the
murderer and he was found guilty and
the cook, Ohio, was adjudged an ac-
complete. The murder occurred early
on the morning OF July 31st and the
Fred J. Wood put in Honolulu on the
afternoon of August 5th. She was on
her way from Portland to China.
Tanbara and Ohio had both been
confined in the hold. and their clothes
were still bloody. The trial and con-
Viction followed in short order and
Ianbara was sentenced TO be hanged
on December 26th. On Christmas Day

Warden Henry gave the signal to the

Tanbara dropped a distance of four

OIL TRUST SQUEEZING AUSTRIA

Since comhine Oruanlzed.

Vienna, Nov. 23.-Much indignation
is expressed here over the steadily
increasing price of oil. Since the for
nation OF the Austro-IIungarian PetrO-
leum Cartel. prices have advanced 80
per cent, with the prospect that they
will go still higher as soon as the
present stock becomes exhausted The
advance infiicts the greatest hardship
on the poorer classes, especially on
the thousands OF tailors and dress
makers. who work in ethlr own homes.
The local authorities Of the several
districts have taken the matter up and
are urging the city council to use ey-
cry means to break up the oil monop'
oily There is. however, not the slight
est prospect that these efforts will be
successful. Both the Standard Oil Co.
and the Deutschebank are continuing
their efforts to come to IN agreement
with the cartel regarding the German
market, but a strong section Of the
Austrian refiners wish the cartel to
remain Independent of both parties.
