clerk 10 Secretary Shaw when he was gov
ernor of Iowa, has written Lafayette
Young. editor of the Des Moines Capital. as
follows:
Eastern papers are publishing, under a
Des Moines date line, report of the parole
of Frank Shercllffe by Secretary Shaw
while he was governor Of Iowa. The report
sets out that the parole was granted at
the request Of Judge Hubbard, and letter
from the judge is published. Please examine
the files and get copy of Judge Hubbard's
subsequent letter withdrawing the request
* it is stin on Gle. I remember the letter
very well, and both Mr.. Fleming. private
secretary, and Mr.. Patterson, parole clerk
under Gov. Shaw, remember distinctly the
withdrawal OF the request"
Secretary Shaw has authorized the fol-
lowing statement as to the Shercliffe case:
Every attempt to make political capital
out of the incident in Iowa has failed. Sher-
cliffe was sent enced in 1898 to seventeen
years the pe1itentiary. He had behaved
well while in the penitentiary and had save
ed all his good time, and at the time of his
parole had about two years to serve. The
correspondence for and against his parole
was very voluminous and had been oft re-
peated. The letter from Judge Hubbard
was followed by another letter from the
judge Withdrawing his request. This, it
would appear, has not been given out. 1

that She rcliffe, whose real name was Nor

abused the confidence reposed in him. He
became dissatisfied with his environments at
Omaha and asked permission to go to his
brother in Marshall county, Iowa.
II saw a letter from him to Matt Stead
man, an ex-secret service man, recounting
his return home. He then voluntarily went
to the sheriff OF Marshall county and told
him that he was the notorious diamond
thief and told tine sheriff where he could be
found. He wrote Mr. Pinkerton to the same
effect. Mr.. Pinkerton came to, Iowa and
had an interview with Shercline and gave
him some money. have no doubt Sher-
cliffe intended to do right. never was con-
fident. however, that he would succeed. He
rendered his monthly statements regularly
and accurately for about year. had three
men in Marshall county watching him. He
became restless, however, and finally left
home, end revoked his parole and ordered
him sent back 70 the penitentiary, where he
is serving the balance Of his term. His case
is most interesting from the standpoint Of
criminology. He is the only man of previous
criminal record with whom experimental,

VANCOUVER, b. c., August 1.-The
Canadian Pacific Railway announces
that its boats will continue to carry
freight to Japan or China so long as it
is not contraband. This course will be
followed despite the action of other
trans-Pacifc lines
The cargoes taken by the five steam
ers of this line have been small during
recent months, and it is stated that
since the outbreak of the war between
Russia and Japan the quantity of
freight taken from Vancouver to Jap
anese ports has shown no increase.
SAN FRANCISCO, August 6-The re-
fusal Of the Pacific Mail and its allies
to take freight for japanese ports is
resulting in shipments being made up
the coast to Puget Sound, where much
freight will be sent forward by steam
ers sailing thence for the Orient. The
steamer Umatilla, sailing yesterday
carried 290 bales of sole leather, valued
at $14,119 and 80 bales Of scrap leather
valued at $1514, for Yokohama.

COME

j. sutherland Ross pass niger agent Of
the Oceanic ). :. Company the Santa
Fe railroad system and other mainland
railroads. arrived today on his regular
trip on the Alameda to attend to rout-
ing Of passengers arriving in San Fran
cisco on the return voyage. In the
opinion of Mr. Ross, the prospects for
increased tourist travel to Hawaii the
coming season are excellent.
Il think that YOU viii see a large
amount of tourists travel to these ISL
and during the next year. The peo-
pie on the mainland seem to think that
the hot weather is on here now. The
travel will not be apt to come until af-
ter Septembe". a good sized party Of
Shriners - coming here by the Ven
tura and there will, l believe, be other
parties during the year. There are
many inquiries about the Hawaiian ISL
ands. People seem to be anxious to be
informed regarding these islands.
believe that a mistake was made how
ever, in placing TIE agent of the Pro
motion Committee in San Francisco.
That representative should be in Los
Angeles; that the place where the
tourists concentrate and it is i'm Los
Angeles that the most good could be
accomplished
"Travel to the fair at st. Louis has
been extensive and this fact has been
the cause of not many people coming
to these islands. The low rates which
are offered to st. Louis ana also to
Boston for the G. a RI. encampment
have attracted large crowds in those
directions. There will be a large amount
of travel to the fair in September as
the hot season in st. Louis will be over
by that time. = believe tn, that fair
is the greatest that has ever been given
1t is said to be fifty per cent better
than the Chicago WORLDS Fair

SAN FRANCISCO, August 6.-H. l..
Kerr the third assistant engineer of
the transport Buford who is wanted in
Honolulu on a charge of assault on the
high seas, will not reach there before
the latter art of October, II at all.
United States District Judge De Haven
ordered his removal to Honolulu. Then
he petitoned United states Circuit
Judge Morrow for a writ of habeas
corpus This was denied, but the legal
point involved IS so fine that Judge
Morrow issued a stay of the order of
removal pending an appeal to the Unit
ed States Circuit Court of Appeals. This
court does not meet until October so
that is the earliest it can be heard.
The fine legal point involved is on
the construction of the words of the
statute relating to the place Of trial Of
persons charged with crimes on the
high seas. The words are the first
port where he shall be apprehended or
brought in Honolulu was the first
port where Kerr was brought in after
the commission of the acts alleged. But
his attorney claims that the words
brought in" have legal signification
meaning brought in after legal proceed
ings shall have been begun. San Fran
cisco, he claims, is the port where Kerr
was apprehended and where he was
first brought in.
Kerr is out on bail pending the hear
ing of the case in the Circuit court Of
Appeals His bail is fixed at $4,000

Kerr says the reason he is fighting
removal is that if he is taken to Homo
lulu for trial he will be unable to get
the witnesses, both as to the actual oc-
currences themselves and the preceding
conduct of the man he is alleged to
have assaulted, and of the actions ana
character of the man Vance who was a
coal passer on this voyage and whom
he claims instigated his prosecution
Vance was discharged from the BufOrd
at Honolulu and is supposed to be there
yet.
Kerr after relating the circumstances
preceding the assault, which he claims
included the refusal of the man assault
ed to do duty, says: After that he
came up on deck again and with his
hand at his pocket as though holding a
knife, advanced toward me calling me
a l thought he had a knife
and was going to attack me with it,
and so, to defend myself. I struck him
with my bare fist. l felt that l was
clearly justified in doing it,
Kerr has made a good impression on
the officials of the court and the United
States Marshals office, and they think
that i'm view of the circumstances he is
very foolish to fight removal. Marshal
Shine told me he thought Kerr would
be acquitted in any court and that he
was foolish not to go to Honolulu at
once and have his trial over.

cial success so far as the islands are
concerned. Since we have been part of
United States territory we have not
made any great progress one reason
for this is because the laws that we are
governed by are not suited to the coun-
try. In the old days, when we made our
own laws the statutes fitted the needs
of the islands. Now we are under the
United States laws, which may suit the
country as a whole, ami may suit many
Of the states in particular, but they do
not answer our requirements.
For instance, we have to obey the
United States land laws, and cannot
rent Government land for period of
more than five years at a time. As it
takes from two to four years to raise a
crop in our climate, we cannot find any
body that will rent land for such a
short period as five years. Thus we are
deprived of a big income from Govern
ment land.
Since we have been annexed Con-
gress has never dredged our harbor.
1t is filing up, and thus prevents the
landing Of the largest vessels. As a
result of this our traffic is falling off.
We dredged the harbor at our own
expense since we have been annexed
but unless it is dredged gain We will
lose much of our traffic.
Annexation has cut off all of our in
come in the internal revenue On the
other hand, from Uncle Sans point of
view, the annexation has been a decid-
ed success. over $425O,0OO has been
cleared up and paid into the United
States Treasury from the islands. The
whole cost of annexation was only $4,-
100000, . you can see what a paying
the islands have been to the
United States.
Since l have been Governor Of theI
islands | found that our income has
been 50 greatly reduced that all APP
have been cut"
