PRISON FOR
B. H. WRIGHT
Sentence Imposed
by Judge De
Bolt.
The Court Criticises
the Affidavit
Makers.
Three Years Sentence imposed
and Wright Released on $4,000
Bail, Pending Appeal.

Judge De Bolt yesterday denied the
motion for new trial in the case of
B. Haywood Wright. and sentenced
him to Oahu prison for a term of three
years at hard labor. Wright took his
sentence without emotion. though he
feels it deeply. Upon the advice of his
attorneys he made no statement in ex-
tenuation. nor did his counsel.
The entire morning was consumed
in argument upon the motion for a
new trial. At the opening of court
]. w. Cathcart filed afidavits by Cap
tain Black and A D. Bolster denying
TIE statments contained in the affi-
davits of Furtado. No reply was
made to the affidavit of Juror Davis.
and Judge De Bolt criticised the at
torneys for using juror to attack a
verdict he had signed.
The affidavit OF Black was to the
effect that he did not hold conversation
with Furtado or make the statements
attributed to him. He claimed to have
been with A D. Bolster during the
time mentioned by the Portuguese.
and the latter filed similar affidavit
in confederation.
Mr. Dunno. who appeared fer
Wright, presented again the arguments
in support of the motion which had
been advanced during the trial. He
claimed also that the verdict was con-
trary to the evidence, and stated that
it was shown that few days after
the collection of the check OF $4,000 by
Wright. nearly $4,000 was paid by him
TO the Treasurer.
This case has been thoroughly and
ably presented" said the court, in
denying the motion. while counsel
are always OF assistance to the court.
yet in this case am put to some en-
barrassment by reason of the ability
and ingenious presentation of the OPP
posing argument. I believe that

SUMNER CASE
IS SUBMITTED

The Sumner case was submitted to
the Supreme Court yesterday and an
adjournment was then taken to March
23rd.
Mr. Magoon presented the case of
Mr.. Sumner, arguing for the greater
part of the morning and until three
o'clock in the afternoon. He claimed
that the deed was revocable and even if
not by its express provisions. the Ell
Uses had agreed to a revocation upon
the payment to them of $4,000 each.
He contended that IL the deed still
stood. none of the money paid from the
$4,000 was rlghtfully in the posses
sion of those who had it, At this Hum
phreys suggested that if a pre-, er trus-
tee was appointed he would bring suit
against the Ellises, the attorneys and
money from Sumner.
Humphreys replied briefly and said he
wanted to withdraw his criticism Of
Judge De Bolt who criticised the at
torneys in the case. He said that the
attorneys who filed the complaint ask
ing that Sumner be declared insane,
and then withdrew it upon payment of
$4,000 to Mrs. Davis and 5000 to the at
torneys, were guilty of criminal extor-
ton and there was sufficient cause for
the Supreme Court to summarily disbar
them. He referred to the attorneys also
as ''scoundrelly thieves" and to Magoon
as an attorney Ito whom anything
short of disbarment is a compliment"

BOYD is
ON TRIAL
Jury Has Not Been
Secured as
Yet.
Many of the Jurors
Had Opinions on
the Case.
New Jury Required to Fill Out
the Panel-Another Plea 10
the jurisdiction.

The trial OF James H. Boyd, charged
with embezzlement, was begun before
Judge De Bolt yesterday afternoon. At
the adjournment of court no jury had
been secured, though the jury box will
PROBABLY be filled by noon today, as
there are not the objections in the Boyd
case as were put forward by wright's
attorneys.
Upon the opening of court in the aft
ernoon Mr.. Robertson on behalf of Boyd
asked leave to withdraw his plea Of not
guilty to the charge. and there being no
objection this was granted. He then
presented a plea to the Jurisdiction of
the court. namely, that both Judge De
Bolt and Judge Robinson were holding
court at the same time. The motion
was overruIed without argument. and
Boyd again entered plea of not guilty.
The examination of the jury was then
begun, Mr.. Cathcart representing the
<AANoSCAiCk l"CAANS Ill
men were examined and twelve were
excused, of whom nine were dismissed,
on peremptory challenges. Nearly all
of the jurors first drawn passed the
preliminary examination. The prosecu-
ton is given six peremptory challenges
and the defendant has twelve. OF these
the Territory has exercised five and
Boyd four. 1t appears to be the policy
of the prosecution to excuse the Hawai-
ians and of the defendant to get rid of
the white men, though the rule was not
rigidly adhered to.
The following jurors were excused for
cause, the most of them having made
up their minds from reading newspaper
c. r. Dement,, ]. R. Guinnane, z. a
Ross, a. D. Bolster, Jas. Mckenzie, A.

The following jurors were challenged
peremptorily by the prosecution: VIM.
Blaisdell, Jas. Spencer. A. J. Smithies.
w. b. Jones and H. H. Meek.
Nr. Robertson excused for the de-
fehdant peremptorily L. z. Pinkham.
E. r. Adams, C. B. Gray and Jas.

The eleven jurors still remaining on |
the panel at the adjournment of court |
were: E. o. White, V. Fernandez, j. H. |
Black, Albert E. Lloyd. Jos. Richards, |
w. w. Needham, Geo. O'Hara, w. w. |
C. Dickerson, S. l. Shaw and |
C. B. Huston. Several of these men
were on the Wright jury and Captain
Black is also left upon the Boyd jury
SO far.
The panel being entirely exhausted
Judge De Bolt ordered a venire to issue
or twelve additional jurors. This is ex-
pected to be sufficient to fill out the
panel. as the Territory has but one
more challenge TO exercise while the de-
-endant has eight.
The indictment under which Boyd is
being tried alleges that he embezzled

During the last year more sufferers

People who know the value of Hal
Pruner's Wonderful Mcndicine never
have colds any more-they keep this
remarkable medicine in their home,
where they can &c, at it quickly as soon
as they feel the first symptoms of cold.
For cold in the head they inhale
the vaPor by pouring few drops of
the medicine in their hands and holding
them beneath the nostrils-also taking
a teasPoonful every hour or so. The
inhalations give immediate relief and the
internal dose drives out the cold and the
cause of it.
If the cold is in the throat or lungs
they rub the medicine in until they
know it has penetrated deeply and is
doing the work il was intended to do.
Internal doses are also good for cold
in the throat and lungs, for HalPruner's

the causes quickly and permanently.

TO IMPROVE HIGHWAYS.
California County Alive to the Value
of Beautiful Roads.

At the recent meeting of the San
joaquin Valley Commercial association
in MERGED the committee on resolutions
reported in favor of adopting the fol-
lowing:
Whereas, Nothing adds more beauty to
a farming country than appropriate shade
trees along its highways, and, whereas,
there is a notable absence of such trees
along the roadways of the San Joaquin
valley; now. therefore, be it
Resolved. That each organization in the
San Joaquin valley be urged to set aside
day to be known as Arbor day. making
the same holiday, and to invite the
popula ton Of each respective community
to turn out en- n:asse on that day for the
purpose Of planting shade trees along tho
roads in its respective neiShbOrhood.
Ways and means for the purchase of ap-
prOpriate trees and for the defrayng of
incidental expenses should he raised by
popular subscription or otherwise, as
seems most judicious.
The different organizations i'm the
valley, says the San Francisco Chron-
iclc, were urged to bend every effort
toward efrccting II bettcrmcnt of the

advertising was pretty new thing
then, and l was one of the old timers
who didn't take any stock in it. But
Jim just kept plugging away at me
between trips, and finally I took him
off the road and told him to 60 ahead
and try it in a small way.
Jim pretty nearly scared me to death
that first year. At last he had got into
something that he took an interest in
spending money-and he just fairly
wallowed in 1t. He used to lay awake
nights thinking up new ways OF getting
rid of the old mans profits. And he
found them. Seemed as il | couldn't
get away from Grahams Extract. and
whenever saw It | gagged. for knew
it was costing me money that wasn't
coming back. But every time I started
to draw in my horns Jim talked to me
and showed me where there was for
tune waiting for me just around the
corner.
Graham's Extract started out by be-
ing something that you could make
beef tea out of-that was all. But be-
fore Jim had been fooling with it
month he had got his girl to think up
hundred different ways in which it
could be used, and had advertised
them all. 1t seemed there was nothing
you could cook that didn't need a dash
of 1t. He kept me between chill and
a sweat all the time. Sometimes, but
not often, just had to grin at his fool
ishness. l remember one picture he got
out showing sixteen cows standing be-
tween something that looked like a
letter press and telling how every
pound or so Of Graham's Extract con-
tanned the juice squeezed from n herd
of steers. II an explorer started for
the north pole, Jim would send him a
case Of extract and then advertise that
it was the great heat maker for cold
climates; and If some other fellow
started across Africa, he sent him a
case. too, and advertised what a bully
drink it was served up with little ice.
He broke out in new place every
day, and every time he broke out 1t
cost the house money. Finally l made
up my mind to swallow the loss, and
Mister Jim was about to lose his Job
sure enough when the orders for ex-
tract began to look up, and he got
reprieve. Then he began to make ex-
penses. and he got pardon, and final
ly rush came that left him high and
dry In permanent place.
Jim was all right in his way, but it
was a new way, and l hadn't been
broad gauged enough to see that it was
a better way.
That was where caught the connec-
tion between n college education and
business. I've always made 1t rule to
buy brains, and I've learned now that
the better trained they are the faster
they find reasons for getting their sal
aries raised. The fellow who hasn't
had the training may be just as smart,
but he's apt to paw the air when he's
reaching for ideas.

ON BGiNc BGHS A
II You Sit on a High Place, Don't
Gaze at the Clouds
From Letters From a Self Made Mer-
chant To His Son." BY George
Horace LO1imer

Consider carefully before you say
hard word to man, but never let a
chance to say good one go by. Praise
judiciously bestowed is money invest
cd.
Never learn anything about your
men except from themselves. A good
manager needs no detectives, and the
fellow who can't read human nature
can't manage it. The phonOgraph rec
ords of a fellows character are lined
in his face, and a mans days tell the
secrets Of his nights.
Be slow to hire and quick to fire. The
per and curl papers is before the mar
riage ceremony. But when you find
that you've hired the wrong man you
can't get rid Of him too quick. Pay him
an extra month, but don't let him stay
another day. A discharged clerk in the
Office Is like splinter in the thumb-a
center of soreness.
Never threaten, because threat Is a
promise to pay that it isn't always con-
venient to meet, but If you don't make
1t good 1t hurts your credit. Save
threat till you're ready to act, and then
you won't need 1t. In all your dealings
remember that today Is your oppOrtu-
nifty; tomorrow some other fellows.
Keep close to your men. When fel-
lows sitting on top of a mountain he's
in a mighty dignified and exalted posi-
ton, but II he's gazing at the clouds
he's missing heap Of interesting and
important doings down in the valley.
Never lose your dignity, of course, but
tie 1t up in all the red tape you can find
around the office and tuck 1t away in
the safe.
It's easy for a boss to awe his clerks.
but a man who is feared to his face is
hated behind his back. A competent
boss can move among his men without
having to draw an imaginary line be-
tween them, because they will see the
real one IL 1t exists.
Resides keeping in touch with your
office men you want to feel your sales
men all the time. Send each of them a
letter every day, so that they won't for
get that We are making goods for
which we need orders, and insist on
their sending you a line every day
whether they have anything to say or
not. When a fellow has to write in six
times a week to the house he uses up
his explanations mighty fast and he's
pretty apt to hustle for business to
make his seventh letter interesting.
Right here | want to repeat that in
keeping track OF others and their faults
it's very, very important that you
shouldn't lose sight of your own. Au-
thority swells up some fellows so that
they can't see their corns, but wise
man tries to cure his own while remem.
bering not to tread on his neighbor's.

mittee is buSily employed in making the
town Il more desirable place of resi-

1t is a sort of vigilance committee to
observe the breakers of town laws. Its
members can cause III" arrest of per-
