MIR Cannon, who is a pioneer of Cali

and searched for 81 years before he
succeeded in locating them.
He succeeded in finding his daugh-
Ter. Mrs. Mary f. Sturgeon. in this

circle is to be made complete once
more by the arrival from the east Of
two other children. For twenty years
past the surviving members of MI
Cannon's family have thought him
dead, and the reunion of father and
children is looked forward to with
JOY.

Nan PATTERSON TALKS
DECLARES THAT SHE DID NOT
MURDER CAESAR YOUNG.
Warns Youno Girls to Steer Clear Of

Life Well.

NEW YORK, Sept. S.-ThrOugn an
intimate friend. Miss Hope Booth.
Nan Patterson, accused of the muir
der of Caesar Young, and for many
months a prisoner in the Tombs. has
made a most remarkable statement for
the Hearst newspapers. She tells the
whole story of her relations with the
dead man, asserts her innocence, de-
MES any knowledge of Morgan Smiths
wherea bouts, and throws new light on
the mystery by claiming that Young
on the day of the tragedy was perlous-
ly close to delirium tremens.
She says Young deceived her as to
his marriage. and when she learned
how his wife really loved him. she
tried to induce him to remain faith
full.
She denies that she wanted him to
stay in America. and claims his pro-
posed voyage was a relief.
Automobile Engagement.
Incidentally she declares she had
an AUTOMOBILE engagement for the day
after the shooting.
Miss Patterson has been released on
bail, after thirteen weeks of cOnfine
nent in the TOmbs. She has been
silent save in the presence of her cOun
sci and her father, and in all that time
the district attorney was unable to
connect her with the supposed murder
IF Caesar Young, more closely than he
could the day following the tragedy.
Miss Patterson's story was given to
Miss Booth just before her release.
BY Hope Booth.
"On the eve Of the conference be-
Ween her counsel and the district at

EMMELUTH
HAS A PLAN
Commission Should Now
Devise Revenue
Measure.

.'It seems to me that the work OF the
present Legislature would be incon-
pIete unless some effort IS made to de-
wise ways and means for the raising Of
necessary revenue 20 maintain the gov
eminent and to formulate some plan
to be adopted for the future in the mat
ter of public improvements. largely if
not altogether benefiting some certain
portion of the community said Elk
Representative John Emmeluth yester-
day
Take the matter of sewage system
which caused considerable discussion
in the Senate, owing to the inconsist-
ency of charging rates to those MAX
ing connections while. others having
equal facilities but not using the same,
do not pay. The right course to be
pursued, and one obtaining in nearly
all communities on the mainland, would
be to make the expense of the sewer
system, both as to first cost and main
tsnance, a charge against the property
benefited by the same. A sewer or
the kind now being put down in Homo
lulu would If placed in any city on
the mainland, be a charge, in the ma
ture of a special tax against property
abutting on the streets through which
the same runs. such tax being of suffi-
Gent amount to meet principal and in
terest during the time the bonds run.
Thus. the burden is equally borne by
ali to whom the sewer is made access1-
BILE, regardless of whether the property
is improved or not or whether ii inn
proved the same be. connected with
the sewer or not.
What is said of sewers is equally
true of road making, sidewalks, and
conduits of all kinds, placed in streets
for the benefit of abutting property. It
seems to me that the government has
reached the stage where new methods
of procedure must be adopted in order
to make the revenues available to cover
running expenses. To this end 1t
would seem desirable that the Legis-
lature before adjournment, provide for
a commission similar to that for the
county bill to inquire into revenue and
loan matters with a view to submit
ting some. definite plan for equitable
distribution of expenditures of a public
character to the next Legislature.

THE JURY FEES
ARE ALL RIGHT


Governor Carter learned yesterday
that the current expense bill as passed by
the House is all right, and he will sign
it without disturbing the court items.
The Governor was under the impression
that the bill as passed. failed to pro-
vide for jury fees in civil cases. 1t
was learned yesterday that the item, as
originally presented included an amount
for jury fees, the intention being for
the government to pay jurors IN civil
cases, the court costs then to be turned
in as a government realization. Later
the House inserted additional amounts
for jurors in criminal cases, SO that the
bill provides for all jury fees, the killing
of the jury bill only preventing the Ter
ritory from recovering from the litigant
the amount paid to jurors in civil cases.

The R|LO
DELEGATES
The Convention Fight
Is Getting
Warm.

The biggest fight in the Territorial
convention TO be held Monday evening
will revolve upon the question of whether
the delegates to Chicago shall be selected
by the whole convention, or whether
each district will be permitted to name
one of the six men who will represent
Hawaii in the National Republican CON
vention.
The Oahu members, who comprise
one-half of the convention strength, are
anxious to select the delegates in the
convention at large, without reference
to districts or islands, while there is
also strong sentiment in favor of each
district naming one delegate. This will
leave but one man as delegate at large,
and according to the program. Governor
Carter viii be given that honor This
would leave out of the running, Dele
gate Kuhio, whom many are anxious to
see chosen on the delegation Oahu
men don't like to see either of the two
men credited to this district, although
perfectly willing that Kuhio and Carter
shall both be on the delegation Oahu
men also believe they are entitled to
larger representation than the small out
side districts, which not only do not
have large vote but which also at times
are not always Republican in that vote
Senator c. H. Dickey is anxious to
represent Maui, and E. A Knudsen IS
willing to be Kauai's standard bearer,
while the island of Hawai- has four
or five men who are candidate for places
Jon the delegation Samuel Parker, the
National Committeeman, is also now in
the race. and will draw his support as
Hawaii candidate, while A. B. Loe-
bernstein, ex-Sheriff Nihale and several
others want to represent the big island
on the delegation.
There are still the four avowed can
didates on this island with Senator Nc
Candies the logical choice from the
Fifth district, if the division is made by
districts. w. H. Hoogs, r. w. Brec-
l1ons and A. G. M. Robertson are all
candidates from the Fourth, with the
chances favoring the election of two of
them, if the delegates are chosen at
large, instead of representing the various
islands.

DEATH OF MRS. THOMAS FITCH
CONTINUED from page ID

| Mrs. Fitch had planned to return to
! Honolulu- early this spring, to again
| take up their residence at the Moana
Hotel, but an attack of typhoid fever and
later of Bright's disease made it impos-
sible for Mrs. Fitch to be moved.
The death of Mrs. Fitch removes a
woman who had achieved fame in the
West as an author and ore who figured
no less prominently in the early days of
Nevada and California than did Col.
Fitch, her husband Col and Mrs. Fitch
came to Honolulu about four years ago,
the Colonel taking conspicuous part
in politics and in law. Mrs. Fitch had
many friends here, and impressed all
whom she met as woman of high in
tellectuaf attainments.
During her residence at the Moana
Hotel, Mrs Fitch was conspicuous as a
venerable lady who retained much of
the gir1ish charm and juvenility of APP
pearance which distinguished her about
thirty-fve years ago among the bellies
of the Comstock lode She always had
a literary taste and in the old days of
California she was connected with the
sHesperian," and was perhaps the first
California woman to produce novel.
The title of this book, which was pub
lished in 1871, is Bound Down-a Book
of Fate" Local color of California
abounds, and the strange theories of
reincarnation are set forth from the
innocent lips of child called Cora.
When the San Franciscan" was pub
lished in the long ago Mrs. Fitch made
contribution called PERSIA" con-
sisting of extracts from an
unpublished poem, something on
the order of Lucille" The completed
poem was later published by Putnam &
Sons in New York under the title of
"The Loves of Paul Fenly." While it
is difficult TO maintain the dignity and
poeticai spirit of metricai narrative,
yet Mrs Fitch succeeded in introducing
the most beautiful bits of description
and philosophy throughout the story
which showed a thoughtful mind and
a cunning fancy. Such is the following:
When Augusts are ended and autumn
suns shine
Through vari-hued barkage and Grim
soning vine,
A little brown spider comes out of the
haze,
With soul of deceit, yet with softest
of ways;
And clad to the eye in some 1eveling
shade
OF russell and gray, he proceeds to
invade
The sacredest forest, with armies of
schemes
dreams,
For entangling some feeble and I'M
wary wing
In meshes as fateful as mirage.
Better Days. or Millionaire of To-
morrow is a collaboration by Thomas
and Anna Fitch, published in 1901 1t
is a study of the methods by which a
millionaire may help the wage-worker
and himself. The opening chapter is
devoted to a competitive locomotive race
which is told of prophetically as oc-
curing in the future. Then the story
swings into place in the Santa Catalina
mountains, in Arizona, with a fine de-
scription of storm. A discovery of a
mine of fabulous wealth follows.
