STATE TAX RATE MAY
BE FIXED AT 4.80 MILLS,

Atlanta, Aug. 17-When the Gov
ernor returns from st. Louis the first
order of business will be fixing the
state tax rate for the year 1904, and it
is altogether probable that the rate will
be fixed at 4.S0 mills. Controller Cen
eral Wright has stated that If the in
crease in the returns is over $25 ,000,-
900, the rate can be fixed at that figure
and that there is sufficient to warrant
the belief that the rate will not be over
4.90. Last year the state tax rate was
an even five mills

turned to compliment also Senator
Daniel, who occupied a seat on the
platform. Before taking up his speech
proper ne took the ladies into his
confidence and commissioned them to
be vote-getters for the success of the
ticket.
Mr.. Davis did not follow his manu-
script closely, though he held it in his
hand.
Cheercd Name of Parker.
He mentioned the name of Parker
and the response was instantaneous.
A moment later he spoke of the plat
form and the contention between Hill
and Bryan over its provision. Imme-
diately Bryan's name was taken up
and cheered. We'll" said Mr.. Davis,

Mr.. Williams pleased his hearers
immensely by laying down to Mr..
Davis in irony rules of conduct to gov

on some characteristic of the opposi-
ton. He talked for one hour and was
listened to throughout with marked at
tention and evidences of approval.
Many times he was interrupted by
cheers or laughter.

Daniel responded to repeated demands
on him for a speech by calling atten-

Convict Woods
Again Plans
An Escape

On a charge OF assisting convict
Woods in a new plot to escape from Ca
hu Jail, w. ]. Glenn, a sailor of the
training ship Adams, was charged, tried
and found guilty in the police court this
morning with a rapidly which, as he
was unrepresented by counsel, aroused
the comment that he was "railroaded"
to Jail. He was brought from Jail,
where he was already serving time,
charged tried, convicted, sentenced and
taken back, all in a morning and with
no attorney to represent him.
The case is one about which was
maintained a degree of secrecy more
characteristic of some dark age than
present day methods of American insti-
tutiOns of justice. W. j. Glenn, a sailor
from the training ship Adams, was
charged with aiding and abetting Fred
Woods, the notorious negro prisoner, to
escape from the Jail. For some un-
known reason the authorities shrowded
the entire proceedings in mystery.
Nothing of the attempt on the part of
Woods to es ape from prison was made
public, no charge was filed against
Glenn until this morning when his
name was added the police court
calendar, but after the list had been
made out in the regular form.
1t appears that Woods, whose sentence
of life Imprisonment for burglary was
recently commuted to ten years, was
not satisfied with the executive Gle
mency and has been planning to escape.
He made a pair of trousers out Of a
black blanket which together with
some other effects for disguise, he hid
near the stone quarry where he and the
rest of the prison gang are in the habit
of working Woods plaL was to watch
his chance and make a break for lib
erty while at work, don the disguise and
try to escape from the island aboard
some transport. Glenn was charged
with having aided and abetted him to
the extent of giving him a note to some
| friend aboard the transport Thomas,
with the request that assistance be CIV
en- to Wood.
According to the evidence this morn
| ing Woods planned to escape July A.
On July he spoke to Glenn. The latter
was serving a three months sentence
for assault with { weapon, so was a
| prison mate of the negro convict. Wood
claimed that he first spoke to Glenn i'm
the store room at the prison and asked
him if he knew anything about any
transports coming to Honolulu. Woods
wanted to secure from the man some
letter or advice about getting away on
the vessel. Glenn finally said that the
| Thomas was expected to arrive about
the 18th of the month, and went out OF
! the place and beck ned to Woods going

planned the purpose of his desire to es-

CRABBE FOR
POSTMASTER

Senator c. L. Crabbe will retire from
the Craftsmanship Of the Republican
Territorial Central Committee, it is
stated, before the opening of the COM
ing campaign. Crabbe was chairman
all through the last canvass and prov
ed very successful campaign manager
but it is not thought that he will un-
dertake the work again
Present advices are that the senator
will retire from politics and will be
postmaster of Honolulu 1t is said
that Governor Carter when he left here
left with the intention of recommend
ing that Crabbe be made postmaster,
not knowing at the time that the COM
mission of j. NJ. Oat would not expire
until next L Lecember. According to
well founded reports the recommended
tion and appointment would have been
made by this time, but for this dis
cOvery, az d the appointment will be
made when the time comes.
Crabbe was president of the Senate
through the last regular and special
sessions. His political career has been
one of much success, he having been
one of the leaders in the real organza-
tion of the Republican party through
out the Territory. 1t was this perfect
organization which had much to do
with the Republican success and re-
versal of the Home Rule victory of the
first Territorial campaign
The question of a successor in the
event of his retirement from the head
of the party management, is already be-
ing discussed

cape and get away on some transport.
Glenn then wrote a note which he gave
to Woods. This note was addressed to
one Henry Lewis" a friend of Glenn.
Woods idea in securing this note was
to hand it to the man on the transport
who would assist him in escaping. The
note was introduced later in evidence
and was as follows:
Honolulu, T. H., July 5, 1904.
Mr.. Henry Lewis:
Sir:-Henry, this fellow is a good
friend of mine and is in need of little
help, and you will do me favor by
giving him a hand. He will tell you
the story himself.
1 remain your friend,
w. ]. GLENN.
Warden Henry of the Oahu prison
where both men were confined, testified
to having heard of Woods desire to es-
cape and having found the note in
Woods possession. Wood refused at
first to divulge anything of the scheme
to escape but later did so. Glenn was
called into the Office of the Warden and
asked to write something on piece of
paper which was also produced by the
witness. The purpose in getting Glenn
to write this record note was to com"
pare the handwriting with the note held
by Wood. The Warden was satisfied
that the handwriting was similar. Wood
finally confessed everything in the mat
ter.
Glenn had no attorney. He took the
stand in his own behalf and made a
very straightforward statement regard
ing the matter. He denied having writ
ten the note which Wood claimed had
been handed to him, and also denied
having had anything to do with any at
tempt on the part of Wood to escape.
The witness denied positively the testi-
mony of Wood, regarding the meeting
in the closet. Wood had questioned the
witness in the store room regarding
