MORITARO PAYS
THE PENALTY
CONTINUED from Page So

The crime for which Moritaro was
hanged was committed on January s
last. 1t was the murder of c. H. Glen
nan, engineer in charge of the Maka-
we'll ditch. Half a dozen sticks of dy-
Mantle We're placed under Glennans
bed in his tent and exploded while he
was asleep. He was instantly killed.
Moritaro disappeared after the crime
and there was no trace of him for some
time. He was run Town by Chester
Doyle, who went from Honolulu to
work on the case and got his first cleWs
from overhearing conversations in the
Japanese language. He came from
Kauai to oahu after three weeks hid
ing on Kauai and was finally arrested
in Aiea. He made a complete confess
sion to Sheriff Coney who arrested him,
and Chester Doyle, i'm the presence of
several witnesses and the confession
made a very strong part of the case "a

beaten by Glennan and admitted that
he had exploded the dynamite with in
tent to get even.
MOflLdiO was lIleu IN the hdudl cir
cult court. The principal efforts of the
defense were directed to keeping the
confession out of evidence. The claim
was made that Moritaro had confessed
under duress and that he had been
struck by Doyle while in custody. The
evidence showed that Doyle had boxed
his ears as a reply to a very insulting
epithet applied to him by the Jap, but
that the latters confession had been
voluntary and with full knowledge that
it might be used against him in court,
Judge Hardy ruled i'm favor of allow
ing the jury to hear the confession and
this practically settled the case. The
jurors returned a verdict Immediately

hesitation on murder In the first de-

murder trials in the local courts.
Moritaro yesterday repeated his con-
fesson to c. Shiozawa, editor of Ha-
wall Shinpo, showing the crime to have
been a cowardly and premeditated as
sassination. His confession, substan-
TALLY agreeing with former ones, was
as follows:
Il come from Hiroshima, Japan, and
am the eldest of three brothers. Be
sides them my family consists of my
father, mother and grandfather, an old
man of 81. l came here in 1897 and had
been drifting bout from plantation to
plantation, when l finally arrived at
Makaweli about a year ago. l went to
work on the ditch being constructed
under the superintendent of Glennan
about ten miles from the mill. Glen
nan was very brutal IN his treatment
of the men. Once he had a rope put
around a man and had him dragged
and beaten. On January Sth l was
working as usual when one of the men
asked me to get some water. Glennan
saw me as I was starting and called
out for me to quit loanng. Two of his
under lunas thereupon gave me a Sc
we're beating, and when they finished
told me to get out, they did not want
me any more. -Glennan refused to pay
me for my past work. From that mo-
ment l decided to fix him. That night
three of my friends and myself drank
forty bottles of sake between us, and
then l went and hid in the hills all the
next day. Before daylight the next
morning 1 got four or five sticks of dy-
Mantle and carried them to Glennan's
! tent, set fire to them and ran. I soon
heard the explosion. 1 was so excited
! that I ran all the way to Wahiawa,
twenty-five miles, where I went to the
house of Kawahara and Fukushima,

There is ample spoil for every one of
these forms of attack on Natures cita-

hazardous nor a severely trying ex-
plot, though one that is best served
with good nature and wholesome COM

her charms hardly obtainable else
where. The trip is usually made by
four horse trap from the Tallac through
pine and cedar forests, ever rising i'm
attitudes past Fallen Leaf Lake,
beautiful sheet of water; following up
the general but broken course of
mountain stream. to Glen Alpine. Here
saddle animals and a guide are taken,
for the road has become a trail and
the ascent steep. Every turn and twist
i'm the trail brings new beauties to
view. A stop for lunch is made at
Gilmore Lake, for the lakes in this re-
gion are separated not so much by
horizontal as by vertical distance. Then
the trail is taken again and rising by
a succession of terraces, the trees
growing more stunted and sparser on
each as the timber line is approached,
the very shoulder of the mountain is
attained. Here horses are tethered
the ascent. and the last few hundred
feet of the mountains crest are made
afoot.
The very peak of the mountain may
be reached and here a panorama of
mountain scenery is presented which
is not surpassed in the High Sierras.
Thirty lakes are visible under good
conditions of weather and innumerable
peaks rising from the magnificent

adventurous parties during the season,
is panoramically spread out to view.

one of the peculiar charms of this
climb to the top of Mt. Tallac is that
no matter how late in the Summer it
is, spring, in it's vegetation and flowers
can always be found. Violets and an
emones fringe the melting snow banks.
You pass from summer to spring as
you go up the mountain. Here is one
place in the world where time turns
backward.
Still, climbing Mt. Tallac is but one
of scores and hundreds of engaging
excursions that have their CHEEKY start
and restful return at The Tallac. There
is fishing and boating, and hunting in
it's season. But there is pleasure at The
Tallac for those who want restfulness.
1t is in the park-like forest of the hotel

which connect the numerous cottages
with the main building or lead to the
magnificent Casino where ball rooms
and bowling alleys center the gaiety of
life in the evening, and offer a delight
full lounging place over the waters of
the lake in the day time.
M. Lawrence and his nephew and
partner have an intense pride in the
Tallac and they have made its man
agement and success the work of their
lives.

Champlain was a bold and skill

Quebec in 1908, and having estab-
lished friendly relations with the
Indians along the 8t. Lawrence,
marched a body Of those, with
some Hurons and others, against
the Iroquois in 1909, says the
Four Track News. His accounts
of that expedition and of another
made in 1915 into New York state
territory, are among the most in
~teresting of the Paris documents
The expedition of 1909 reached the
lake Ito which ChRmplain gave
his own name), up which it passed
in canoes to a point in what is now
the town of Ticonderoga, where
he encountered about 200 Of the
IroquOis armed only with bows
and arrows, and a battle followed.
What he wrote of the engagement
is both romantic and pathetic:
'The moment they (the Iro.
quois) saw me they halted, gazing
at me and / at then. When / saw
them preparing to sheot at us, |
raised my arquebus, and aimed di.

Grotesque Name Applied to a Delicate

The flower is we'll worth careful

small scales like organs that serve
as sepals; next are the inflated
