The burial service over the remains of
Mrs. Louise c. westervelt, brought
from Honolulu, Hawaii, and of Alice
Iorena WesterveIt her infant child, was
held last Saturday forenoon at 10 o'clock
in westwood Cemetery. Rev. D. Brad
shaw, pastor of the First church read
a portion of scripture closing with the
beautiful description of Joys of the
Redeemed, as partially outlined in the
book of Revelation. Rev. c. n. Pond
spoke comfortingIy and feelingly of the
departed ones. After prayer the urn in
which the ashes Of the cremated body
had been placed, was lowered with
white ribbons into the grave, while
DR.. Bradshaw repeated the ordinary
funeral service.
Mr. Ponds address is here given in
full.
1t is very especially and particularly
a service of love that has gathered US
here today. On all customary occasions
of this nature, however tender and
reverent they may be made, there is
one purpose of utility that must be
subserved. The living must bury their
dead from their sight. But no such
purpose has brought US hither.
The precious dust of little Alice, two
years old, had been resting in the
bosom of mother earth twenty years in
the middle East. The ashes Of Alice's
mother, brought hither in this sacred
funeral urn, could find no more beau
tiful resting place than the Paradise
of the Pacific. the fair island where
she spent her latest years. But the
husband and father has brought the
one hundreds of miles from the East
and the other thousands of miles over
sea and land from the West that they
might for loves sake be together in
tered in the home cemetery at Ober-
lin.
This is the expression of mother love,
of conjugaI affection and fliai and
family attachment. all of them being

made operative every day, our depart

THE JURY FINDS BOYD
GUILTY OF EMBEZZLEMENT

fed, he told Mr.. Peters that Boyd gave
his check for a bill produced among
evidences of public money taken by
Boyd. He accused Mahaulu, in this as
in other parts of his evidence, of sup
pressing facts in favor of Boyd. 1t was
when he saw the check in court that
Mahaulu, as counsel viewed it, invented
a story to show that he had nothing to
do with the bringing of false ex-
hibit into court.
Mr.. Chillingworth reviewed portions
Of the evidence, arguing therefrom that
there was really none but Mahaulu's
on which defendant could be convicted.
AS he had been left alone in conduct
ing the defense he urged the jury to
recall anything he might have omitted
which bore on the innocence or guilt
of the defendant, as, it was their duty
to weigh all the evidence. He felt as
,sured that they were gentlemen who
would render no snap Judgment. Mr..
Chillingworth closed with an assertion
of his own belief that the defendant
was innocent.
Attorney General Andrews did not
waste word on preliminary observa-
lions, but taking the chief exhibits of
documentary evidence in his hands
plunged directly at the gist of the case.
1t is doubtful if ever a case of such
Importance was more tersely and effec-
lively summed up at any bar of justice.
There were no rhetorical fireworks in
the Attorney Generals address, unless
some apt remarks on the consequences
to the country of slack dealing with
public money might be so described. but
seduious hammering out of bald facts
and a mailing to the counter of spurious
coin of extenuation for malfeasance of
public trust.
The Attorney General displayed the
receipts for public money that had
never reached the public treasury and
reminded the jury that the defendant.
as sub-agent of lands. was responsible
under the specific terms of the law both
for the collection and custody of all
public money due the Territory in his
district. There was a simple and ex-
cellent system in the Land Office for
the collection of dues A regular form
of receipt was provided. having a stub
for recording the details of each col
lection. Boyd, instead of using this
form, had a special billhead printed, by
means of which land rentals might be
collected and no record of the transac-
ton be preserved in the Office. Mr.. An
drews displayed to the jury the blank
receipt leaf, uniform from the book and
folded back to conceal it from cursory
view. the number of which corresponds
| ed with that of the biIlhead receipt for
one of the sums shown in this case to
have never reached the Treasury. The
contradiction of Boyd's statement that
| he had not taken up the cash business
| after returning from Hilo on September
| "a until October l, by a memorandum
of deposit in the Treasury made out
in his own handwriting and signed by
| himself under date of September % the
| same year. was duly treated. Boyd's
admission of having made all the en-
| tries in the cash book. excepting when
/ he was absent from Honolulu, fixed his
responsibility apart from the legal fact

great weakness she could not be seen.
But her thoughtful hospitality, in all
the little careful plans for the happ1-
ness of my brother and myself, her
guests, made US feel that although she
was invisible, we were encompassed by
her love and care. Similar was the
influence that went forth from her dur
ing all the years. Shut in as she has
been by physical limitation, yet there
has radiated from her home the in
huence of trust, of faith and of friend
ship whose value has been felt and
known in more continents than one.
The Master of all worlds has varied
forms of service. Some he equips for
great enterprises. With nerve that
never troubles, a sinew of steel, and a
strength that never seems to wane,
these great leaders push on the giant
enterprises of Gods car of Providence.
Then there is the great mass of aver
age workers who perform the tasks of
the work-a-day world. With steady
application and sturdy power they car
ry on the activities of nations and Of
continents.
But there is another class whose SER
vice is different They are feeble; they
suffer; they are sick. Their service is
not to do but to bear They patiently
endure; they become the refiners of So
ciety, they teach us gentleness and
patience, and tender affection They
are Just as needful as are. the strong
or the seemingly more highly favored.
They fulfill the beautiful thought Of
the master poet:
His state is kindly.
Thousands at his bidding, speed and
post.
Ger land and ocean without rest.
They also serve who only stand and

Such was the service of our dear
friend. Born in 1850. graduated in 1870.
a bride in 1873, the bride of death in
1904. Through these fifty-four years it
has not been granted to serve in the
fullness of equipment and strength but
with patience, gentleness, resignation
and love. And no one can feel that
this service has been for naught.
Ali of US who have known our Louise
have been blessed and helped by her
influence. There is an inspiring faith
and a contagion of trust that has ex-
tended it's influence afar. We scarce
need to offer the prayer that our broth
er may be helped and sustained. We
scarce need to offer this prayer because
already it is answered. He is sustain

that Divine Grace may be given him
in enlarged measure and that from
this open grave receiving this precious
dust and these sacred ashes now unit
ed in their final resting place in this
consecrated ground, he and all of US
may go about the work of life with
added inspiration and g, new sense of
the love of God which gave and which

longing to Boyd the amounts Of which
had come out of public funds and never
been, repaid.
Mr.. Chillingworth objected to evil
dence on the subject unless the prosecu-
ton filed every paper as an exhibit.
The objection was sustained. Mr. An
drews did not consider the matter of
sufficient materiality for ali that trou-
BILE and withdrew the sack. Mr.. Chill
lingworth made sarcastic remarks on
the dramatic display and the court
instructed the jury to ignore the bag
incident.
THE CLOSING ARGUMENT.
shortly after the court resumed at 2
p. M, the closing arguments to the jury,
were made.
Mr.. Chillingworth reminded the jury
that they were the sole judges of the
facts and that the defendant was being
tried by them exclusively under the
charges in the indictment, which ac-
cused him of embezzling three specific
sums of money from the Territory of
Hawaii. The evidence had shown them
that a great deal of looseness existed
in the business of the Land Office, which
he was not called on to defend but
which should not be taken into account
against the defendant. 1t was a condi-
ton, according to the evidence, that
had obtained under the defendant
predecessors. Counsel asked why it had
taken the authorities so long to find out
the defalcations in the Land Office,
paying some attention in his remarks
to the Auditors responsibility. He re-
ferred to defalcations in other depart
ments, mentioning that of Public
Works, when Deputy Attorney General
Fleming. Mr.. Andrews being Temporal
riIy absent from the room, got up and
objected to his going outside of the
evidence.
Judge Robinson, who had been look
ing into law books, said he had not
heard the remarks objected to, but with
few soothing words asked Mr.. Chill
lingworth to proceed.
Mr.. Chillingworth was soon again
checked with an interruption on the
same point by Mr.. Fleming. At about
that instant the Attorney General re-
turned; when Mr.. Chillingworth pro-
tested against members of tbe Attor-
ney Generals office bobbing up with
interruptions while the head of the de-
| partment was present conducting the
case. Mr.. Andrews did not interfere
and defendants counsel called the
jury's attention to the ''unseemly in
terruptions" and then picked up anew
the thread of his remarks.
He laid great stress on Mahaulu's
volunteer statement that there was no
stenographer present when, as he testi-

DANGERS IN
A SANDSTONE

SAN BERNARDINO, Oct 6.-Mr
and Mrs. William Barrows. Al Skies,
George MetcaIf and two others, while
coming across the desert from Las
Vegas New, were overtaken sixty
miles out from Daggett by furious
sandstone, which for forty-eight hours
blew perfect hurricane, subjecting
the parties to a terrible experience
The sharp-pointed particles beat upon
them as though from a blast furnace
The canvas which they used as a
shield was riddled and the skin on
their faces and hands cut until it bled.
While plunging, one OF the horses
broken leg, was smothered to death.
Metcalf got out of the wagon to cut
the harness from the dying animal.
and while cropping his way back to
the wagon lost his way. Only the
bowling of his dog saved him. By it
he located his party. His face was
terribly lacerated by the sand during
the short time he was exposed.
During the height of the storm the
party could not see more than foot
away. Before it struck them, it re-
sembled a great bank of sand, loom
ing nlSA In the air, an dlHlOSt per
fectly straight line forming the top
of the embankment. AS the storm en-
veloped them. the whinnyings of the
horses We're pitiful, each particle of
the sand striking them with the sting
of a pin thrust.
After standing the force of the blow
for several hours, the canvas over the.
wagon was riddled with holes, and the
prospectors got out blankets to shield
themselves, but even through these
the sand pelted.
Oil prospectors report that this was
the heaviest sandstorm they ever
knew. During the time that it ragged
the appearance of many sections of
the desert was completely altered, high
sand hills that had stood as land-
marks for years being 1eveled or borne
miles away. Trails were completely
obliterated, and county and Govern
ment sign boards were blown down
and completely lost.

code left with Mahaulu. intended to
apprise him of any danger arising out
of a visit of the Auditor in his absence,
saying that the document left absolute
Iy no question of Boyds knowledge that
there was a shortage in his cash at the
time he went to Hilo. The showdown
of I. o. Us and other papers of, like
purport was not a part of the case had
it not been for Boyd's swearing that,
after the B. H. Wright incident, the
whole system of advances of public
money on salaries was abolished in the
Land Office. 1t was entirely inmate
rial what might have been done before
Boyds time in Office, he having admit
ted on the stand that the practices he
had maintained We're directly contrary
to law and that ne knew it.
Boyd's statements of having kept de-
posts of his own money in Mahaulu's
hands had been disproyed. His ex-
PLANTATION of the 1851 check was absurd
and proved false by Mahauiu's singing
out of the $50 check. The Attorney
General was not resting strongly upon
Mahaulu's credibility, but in that and
other parts of his evidence the circun-
stances all tended to show he told the
truth
Mr.. Andrews, referring to Boyd's at
tempts to make Mahaulu out as the
thief of the moneys in question, said il
that were true Boyd knew it before
he was made Commissioner knew it
when he went to Hilo and to Washing
ton. Yet on his leaving the Office for
the absences mentioned he had not only
left Mahaulu in charge of the Land Of
flee funds but had made him the dis
burser of his (Boyd's) salary and given
him entire control of his private fl
nances. He acted on the theory that
a man who stole Government money
was the right man to entrust his own
private money with. Not only that,
but Boyd appointed the man he knew
to be thief, according to his present
attitude toward Mahaulu, to succeed
himself as cashier of the Public Lands
Office.
Mr.. Andrews made a few strong re-
Elections on the public consequences of
allowing such misrepresentation and
private conversion of public money to
go unpublished. He concluded by saying
that there could not be a doubt in the
minds of the jury that the defendant
had been proved an embezzler of public
moneys on ali three counts of the in
dictment.

FIREMAN CRUSHED BY
HIS OWN LOCOMOTIVE
Harry A. Roberts Meets HorI
rible Death in Philadel-
phia Roundhouse

Noticing some defect I'm the machin-

A. Roberts, of this city, jumped from
the cab at the roundhouse OF the Penn
sylvania railroad in Philadelphia yes
terday and while he was there the
engine was started, crushing him
against the wall so badly that he died
in the Presbyterian Hospital from his
injuries a few hours later.
Roberts and his engineer, George
Gordon, had brought an express from
Wilmington to Philadelphia and had
been to the roundhouse to have the fire
box cleaned. They were ready for the
departure and the engineer started the
locomotive. Hearing a cry, it was
quickly reversed. Looking upon the
ground the engineer discovered Roberts
lying against the wall badly crushed
and mangled. The fireman had been in
his seat an instant before.
He was hurried to the Presbyterian
Hospital, where he died about 8
o'clock.
Roberts, who lived at No. 6O7 East
Tenth street, was "a years Of age and
was known as one OF the best firemen
/ in the employ of the p, B. & w. rail-
road. He had been appointed an extra
engineer and had made several runs as
such over the road, but had not had a
steady run. He had a wide circle of
friends not only among the railroad
men but all over the city and was
popular with everyone. He had Just
completed preparations for his marriage

EDITORIAL OPINION
Montana Politics.

From the Washington Post
In a campaign where electoral votes
from the West are very important to
Democrats public attention is bound to
be focused considerably on conditions In
Montana. The conventions win be held
out There soon. The Democrats are hkey
to renomnate Governor J. *. Toole, the
most popular Democrat In the State who
would like 10 be elected by the Legislature
next winter az United States Senator to
succeed Paris Gibson. The Republicans
are now talking about the nomination Of
Representative J. M. Dixon, who was
elected to the National House two years
ago by a plurality of over 5000. but noi
by a majority. lie Is a young man, very
popular and might prove a strong factor
IN enabling the Republicans to redeem the
state.
'rhe large labor, Populist, and Socialist
vote IA Montana will be quite as infuen-
tial IN the election, perhaps, as the atti-
tude Of tho great corporations. f. A.
Helnze. one of the copper kings, defeated
the Democratic ticket IN 1909 by support
ing a labor and Populist candidate. who
IN ihe Congressional night polled 6,0O5
votes. His support and that OF his foi-
lowers are credited with having elected a
Republican Legislature. In that election
Senator Clark took almost no part, Thus
far no one has undertaken to forecast how
the various forces in opposition to the
Republicans will limo up this year. As
soon as the State conventions are held
and the campaigns inaugurated the out
look viii be less cloujed.
