GOVERNOR STUDIES
LIQUOR QUESTION

The Governor is making very close
study OF the liquor question in all its
phases, and to that end has requested
various dealers, wholesalers, retailers,
men who run so-called clubs and the
whole liquor interest to set forth their
views to him. to the end that the whole
matter may be we'll in the hands of
the authorities by the time the legisla-
ture meets,
Il understand" said Governor Carter
yesterday, that some OF the men who
run the so-called clubs are making the
plea that they are run as a co-partner-
ship This Will run them up against
a condition OF some difficulty that they
do not, perhaps, appreciate. The Iaw
provides penalty OF $500 for every
day that a co-parnership is not reg
istered, and the longer the clubs run
without such registration, therefore, the
heavier will be the penalty earned.

YAP KING
AND WIDOW
A South Sea IdyII
About King
O'Keefe.

A ship captain, who visited Homo
| lulu last February, told an interesting
| story of the island of zap of which an
Irish-American named O'Keefe was
known as the King The captain, who
had worked on Yap, told of the effort
of the American widow to get control
of the estate of O'Keefe, which COM
prised the entire island, away from
O'Keefe's native family. The follow
ing dispatch gives the concluding
chapter:
NEW YORK, Oct. S.-Among the
passengers who landed from the Bre-
men today was Walter Charlton Part
ridge from the island of Yap. Mr.. Part
ridge is the legal representative of
Mrs. O'Keefe of Savannah, widow OIL
the late David P. O'Keefe, popularity
known as the King of Yap. He has
succeeded in bringing to an end the
controversy between the native Yap
widows of O'Keefe and the legitimate
widow in Savannah over the will of the
adventurous Irishman.
Mr. Partridge was conveyed from
Hongkong to Yap in a United States
naval collier
O'Keefe, he says, had a trading
monopoly with the natives of small |
islands of his Yap groups. While he
probably was not more than fifth |
part of a millionaire. he was an inter- |
esting personality and welded i'm |
mense power over the wild natives of
the island solely by honest dealing
and kindness.
O'Keefe's business was to buy mer
chandise in Hongkong, ship it in his
own schooner to Yap and exchange it
for coral with the natives.
The Savannah widow inherits
handsome fortune from her usband.

bedya fellow countryman by the name
of cher. The arrest of Song followed
within an hour. and a half of the time
when the crime was committed.
/, 1t seems that Song, who is an in
terpreter for the Planters Association,
received friendly call from Cher. A
dispute arose and Song, without provo
cation. whipped out an II. X. L." pocket
knife and sta bbed his guest twice in
the leg. Another Korean, who was in
the room. wrenched the knife out of his
hand just as he was about to stab Cher
third time.
AS soon as he was deprived of his
weapon Song deeamped and the other
Korean notified the police. Cher was
taken in semi-conscious condition to
the Queens Hospital where his wounds
were dressed. Deputy Sheriff Rawlins4
accompanied by George Sea and Officer
Muileitner at once began search for
the fugitive and soon located him in
the house of a fellow-eountryma on
School street. The wife of the owner
of the house tried to put the officers

smitten with remorse and has spent

Clarke asked the boy who sent him

couldn't understand why she should

husband owned one. But he gave the
boy the poison and cautioned him as
to it's deadly character.
The lad says he might not have
paid any attention to the incident If

He told his mother about it and she
washed his hands carefully, before
she permitted him to eat his dinner.
When Crystal died so suddenly the

MOTHER HAS LOST HER TWO SONS

Mrs. Rod McNiel is an unhappy
mother. For five years she has spent
all her time looking for her eldest
born, Lawrence, who left Nova SEQ
tia for the great west. When she
last heard of her son he was in Lin
say, Ont, where he was working in

er by trade. Mrs. Mcneil is a much
to be pitied woman. Left with five
children to look after and support,
her lot has been hard one.
Mrs. McNeil's only desire to live
Is in the hope Of seeing her son.
Another son, Harry, aged 10 years,
is also in this part of the country,
and when last heard from was at
Grand Forks, b. c. The unfortunate
circumstances connected with the af-
fair are that the mother Is putting
forth every effort to locate her boys
and the boys are looking for their
mother without results.
Mrs. Mcneil spends hours Of her
time and all spare money writing to
all the different cities sending des-
criptions of her boys and as yet has
received no returns.

thought was her long lost boy. Her
disappointment was most pitiful.
Mrs. Mcneil is entitled to much
sympathy. She is financially embar-
raised and, though a lady Of refine
ment and education, is obliged to do
mental housework for livelihood
with which to keep her little ones
together. Mrs. Mcneil has a pretty
face. Care and trouble have written
their marks upon it. There Is a GER
tain sadness, mingled with forced
cheerfulness, that draws everyone to
her. She feels her position keenly
and bears it bravely. The situation
would be changed could she find her
sons. They are able and willing to
support her.

In the latter bottle was hair oil.
In the former, arsenic and oatmeal.

large quantities.

Mrs. Krauss wrote both the farewell
notes and the order for poison. The
note said to have been found in the
bed was not crumpled, although the
girl, in her last agony, struggled all
over the bed. crumpling the clothes
and tearing some of them.
But there are many points in Mrs.
Krauss' favor.
She Is the daughter of a physician.
He lived in the same house. 1t is
pretty certain that in his emergency
case there was enough poison to kill
half the town.
She is the wife of druggist and
often clerked in the drug store where
she had access to poison enough to
kill everyone in the county.
She Is woman of more than or
binary intelligence ard education. Is
it likely, with access to all these poi
sons. that she would send note for
poison by boy who knew her, to a
druggist who knew that her husband
owned drug store?
Crystal Krauss had been complain
ing of feeling i'll for several days
and her father thought her illness
due to eating too much rich foods
at different social gatherings. She
told her father she wanted some
headache powders, Saturday. He Of
fered to get them, but she said she
knew where they were and would get
them herself. This she did.
The state admits this, and acknowl-
edges that If 1t were not for the She
walter note and the testimony of
Floyd Summerville, there would be no
reason to proceed against Mrs.
Krauss.
