THE WOMAN
tempted MI"
ADAMS FAMOUS EXCUSE TURNS
UP IN A CIRCUIT COURT PER-
JURY CASE.

Love led Ponikala to perjury, as he
told Judge Lindsay this morning. He
asked to be punished if he had done
wrong in telling a falsehood under oath
at the request of the woman he loved.
Ponikala was indicted yesterday for
perjury hnd appeared in court TOR plea
this morning. He wanted to leave the
matter to the court, but Lindsay insist
ed upon a plea
Ponikala said he had fallen in love
with the wife of one Kahaukala, who
was under arrest for larceny. His
charmer had not altogether spurned his
advances and when she concocted a
story for hi INTO swear to, he couldn't
resist her Establishments. He took the
stand in the district court and swore to
things which were not true, because
the lovely temptress wanted him to. IF
1 am guilty" said defendant after re-
lating these circumstances, Il want the
court to punish me. If not, would like
to go free"
Deputy Attorney General Fleming
said this was a confession and a plea
of guilty, but when Ponikala was ques-
toned directly he not only pleaded not
guilty but said he wanted a lawyer.
The court appointed A. G. Kaulukou to
defend him.

BOY RISKED
HIS LIBERTY
tContiGued from page one.)

car fare. Kaukane went into the
house. He saw the pistol, a 3S caliber
revolver, lying in the trunk. He pick
ed up the weapon, sat on the bel and
began to fool with the revolver. From
his statements, he tried to pull the
trigger but the weapon would not work
so he raised the hammer and snapped
it. A report followed and Hawai- who
had been standing near by fell lifeless
to the floor.
Kaukane then went outside of the
house and left the pistol on the veranda
and going on met Mkt. He told Mkt
Lemi of the shooting and wanted to go
away with him to Puuloa. Mkt went
back to the house and took the revolt
yer and hid it inside of the house. The
boys closed the doors and hurried
away.
Day before yesterday when the police
first forced the boys to admit some
completely in the tragedy, Kaukane
claimed that Mkt Lemi had held the
pistol when Hawai- was killed The
police at first credited this story. Mkt
Lemi was questioned last night by
Vida regarding this charge and finally
came out and charged Kaukane with
the killing. Mkt Lemi said that the
reason he had tried to protect Kaukane
and shield him, had been because of
the fear of Kaukane's mother. The
woman was, so Mkt claimed, big
kahuna and he feared to tell on her
son lest the boy go and tell her and
she would cause the death OF him,
Mkt.
OF the boys in the affair, Kaukane
is the youngest being but II years Of
age while Mkt Lemi is IA years of age
as was the victim. The fourth boy,
Kekua, who went to the house with
the others does not appear to be di-
rectly involved in the tragedy for he
was riding a mule and did not go into
the house.
The coroners' inquest will be held at
Eva on Monday when the facts in the
case will be considered and a verdict
returned

A NOTED SW|NDLER
ONCE IN HONOLULU
ROWAN JAIL IN TUCSON ARIZONA, ON NUMER
GUS CHARGES swINDLING MEANS OF FORGED LETTERS
OF INTRODUCTION FoRG CHECKS IDENTIFIED A
FORMER VISITOR A CLERK.

Fred Church, formerly manager Of
the Royal Hawaiian Hotel, has received
from Joseph b. Doty, who used to be
night clerk there, an interesting article
clipped from the Tucson, Ariz., Miner,
which is appended. 1t appears from
Doty's letter that he recognized the
man referred to in the article as
former guest at the Hawaiian. 1t is
not known that he piled his peculiar
trade here. The newspaper story runs
thus
Emil C. Rowan, the good-fooking
young man, who presented a draft for
two hundred and eighty-one dollars on
the Chemical Bank of New York City,
at one of the local banks yesterday
morning and who appeared highly in
dignant when arrested, is a noted
swindler and forger, and is wanted in
dozen cities. The Pinkertons have been
after him for months, and the local
banks received a special circular sew
eral days ago, warning them to be on
the lookout for this smooth and indus
trious Jim the Penman."
The description of Rowan given by
the "Pinks'' tallies to a dot to the man
pacing up and down behind the bars in
the Cochise county Jail.
Rowans main victims have been ho-
tells and banks throughout the South
west. He always was very careful to
show his letters of recommendation and
credentials before presenting his worth
less drafts. These letters were written
by the forger himself, and then he
would mail them a day or two before
starting for given place, and on his
arrival would inquire for his mall as
he did at the Copper Queen Hotel,
where he stopped the first day, after
his arrival in Bisbee. Jack White
searched Rowan's luggage at the Cop
per Queen Hotel, and found a perforat-
ing machine, checks and drafts of every
description, stamping machines; in
fact, it was a miniature financial insti-
tuition, with no assets but the ingenuity
and cleverness of the owner, but the
liabilities We're exceptionally large.

was the first question put to the young
man by the reporter.
Il am, sir; there is no use of con-
cealing my identity any longer-I am
the man."
When asked by the reporter if he
could get bail, the prisoner replied with
tears in his eyes, Yes, 1 can get bail,
but 1 was compelled to write home, and
tell my dear old mother that was a
criminal. 1 take my sentence like a
man, but that was the hardest blow of
ALL"
Hayes, the alleged embezzler, is in
the same cell with Rowan, and he
cheered Rowan up by slapping him on
the back and telling him that he was
now a regular member of the "frenzied
finance club" which said club contain
ed most of the captains of industry of
the present day. Rowan then said that
it did afford him some consolation to
know that more bank presidents and
Senators were being sent to Jail in the
present day than petty thieves. Rowan
then confessed to having relieved tie

Dole Thinks
Sentence
Too Severe
PORTO RICANs SENTENCED
TODAY TO ASK RELIEF BY
PARDON.

The Chicago beef trust sentences
were cited in the federal court this
morning as furnishing good examples
for Judge Dole to follow in sentencing
Julio Silva and Pascio Raggas for for
gerry of a $40 Money Order. In the
Chicago cases a number of wealthy
beef men We're fined from five to TWEEN
ty thousand dollars. "a mere bagatelle
to such men," said Attorney olsen in
behalf of Silva, and he thought a fine
would be proper i'm the local cases.
Judge Dole, however did not think a
fine, which under the law allowing free
dom under a paupers' oath after thirty
days, would only mean 80 days in Jail,
was enough. The minimum imprison-
ment two years at hard labor was i'm
posed in both cases
Breckons remarked in connection
with the beef trust sentences that they
had been most severely criticized all
over the United States, by leaders of
both political parties
Olsen and Thayer both made pleas
for light sentences. Breckons said
that the verdict of the jury amount
ed to a declaration that both defendants
had committed perjury on the witness
stand. When the court asked the de-
PENDANTS if they had anything to say
each declared his innocence. Raggas
said the witnesses had told lies about
him and Silva said that in spite of the
verdict he was not guilty, and would
like a low sentence. Raggas wanted
the court to order new trial for him
Judge Dole intimated that he re-
garded two years hard labor as a toe
severe sentence, but said it was the
minimum imprisonment he could give
A fine. allowing freedom in 30 days
would be almost a pardon. The court
thought that the case was one for an
application for mitigation of the SEN
tence by the pardoning power. The
minimum sentence of two years was
imposed, with costs of court.
Silva is also in trouble i'm the Ter
ritorial courts. He was indicted yes
terday and arraigned this morning be-
fore Judge Lindsay, on a charge of as
sault with a dangerous weapon. He
is alleged to have attempted to shoot
one Shataro Coda, on September Il.

The case of w. c. Peacock VS.. w. c.
Peacock & Company was resumed this
morning in the Circuit Court. A new
suit was filed by Peacock based largely
on the same grounds as the one which
was brought several weeks ago, but
seeking remedy in a different way. The
new proceeding is an application for
writ of quo warrantO, calling upon j.
G.. Rothwell and others to show by what
authority they are acting as officers Of
the corporation of w. c. Peacock &
Company.
The last suit which was brought fail
ed on demurrer, Judge De Bolt holding

that a sufficient showing had not been
made. Since then, it is understood,
Peacock and his supporters in the COM
pany have held a meeting and, as they
claim, 'removed"' Rothwell and the
others from their positions in the cor
poration. The removal, according to
the Rothwell faction, was of no legal
effect, and they are still in office, as far
as all practical affairs of the company
are concerned.

this morning calls upon Rothwell and

pany to show by what authority they

Some discussion of the work of the
major characters in this play wins Civ
en- yesterday. What was then said was
fully justified by the second perform
ance. OF the minor characters too
great praise cannot be given to Otto
Clemens 'Boniface." The puffed up,
boastful staggering, foolish, and shall
low-pated inn-keeper, was given excel
lent presentation, and made the scene
in which he appeared, thoroughly en-,
joyable. -,
Tonight a thorough going melodrama
will be presented. The play is Mark e.
Swans "A Man of Mystery"
This is a remarkable play in more
senses than one. 1t combines all the
popular features of old-fashioned melo-
drama and still is essentially modern.
1t has hair-raising situations, blood
thrilling climaxes and it runs the
gamut of human passion and embraces
all the motive-centers that make up the
perpetual conflict called life
1t has very strong plot that it takes
over two hours to unravel The plot
will not be told here in this preliminary
notice as that would rob the theater-
goers of their pleasures Of anticipation.
Sufficient to say that those who attend
the Orpheum tonight will not be disap-
pointed.
The Man Of Mystery or "the Shadow"
as he is called i'm the play is a sort of
another "Raffles," a man who leads a
double life. Mr. Butler will assume the
role and give to it the same polish and
tinesse that he did to Sherlock Holmes.
The other members of the company
especially Mr.. Earle, Mr. Lowell and
Mr.. Auerbach all have been assigned
splendid parts, not forgetting the fem
mime end of the company. A change
of scenes and new electrical effect are
also features of tonight's bill

A MOTION
TO CONCUR

Washington, Feb. 9.-tspeciall-
The statehood bill as it passed the
senate did not reach the house yes
terday. as was expected. Neverthe-
less, ther has been lively work in
that body on the part OF the friends
and opponents. The bill viii be re
ferred to the committee on terri
tories There is little doubt that this
committee will ask for ac difference.
Should this occur, the advocates
OF the measure will insist ON a mo-
tion to concur in all the senate
1t is understood the
democrats of the house will support
this motion and the claim is made
that at least twenty-seven republic
cans have been secured to support it
also.
This would insure concurrence. so
that the remaining step in the state
hood plan would simply be the sig
nature of the president to make the
bill a law.
