RESPECT rs SHOWN
TO MEMORY OF DEAD
Union Jack in AIameda's
Bow Is Carried at Half
Mast During Voyage From
Honolulu to This City

The trip across from Honolulu was
very pleasant. and both Miss Berner
and Miss Hunt were not troubled to
any extent with seasickness. They
came TO nearly all their meals and
spent a great deal of time on deck.
They were naturally more or less cast
down by the terrible experience they
had been through, but both appeared
exceedingly brave and tried to be as
cheerful as they could under the cir
cumstances. They did not attempt to
keep especially aloof from the passen-
gers on board and conversed pleasantly
with any who addressed them. They,
however, when they were on deck,
spent practically all their time in COM
pany with David Starr Jordan and
Timothy Hopkins. They were both
dressed very plainly in black during the
voyage, Miss Berner being in partial
mourning with short black veil Miss
Hunt wore a simple garb of black,
with black hat, but no mourning veil.
They both looked very pale, tired and
thoroughly worn out when they landed
at the dock. During the voyage the
union jack on the vessel fioated at
half mast.
The remains of Mrs. Stanford repoSed
in a specially constructed compartment
in the forward hold. 1t was about ten
feet square and seven feet deep. 1t
was hung in heavy black and draped
about the sides with deep purple silk.
On one side was a small cluster of
electric lights and an electric fan was
at one end. Resting on a dais at one
side was the coffin, strapped to the
side of the vessel. The remains were
encased in a metallic octagonal coffin,
the top of which was covered by a mass
of lovely floral offerings, sent by the Of
ficials of Honolulu. The coffin was in
turn enclosed in a heavy walnut case,
ever which was thrown pail of black.
A guard was in attendance day and
night, while a special guard paid
hourly visits to see that everything was
in order. During the voyage up David
Starr Jordan paid one visit to the rest
ing place of Mrs. Stanford. and
Timothy Hopkins paid one. Surrounding
the ccffin were magnificent flowers, sent
by friends in Honolulu. One floral piece
was six feet high and represented an
urn. 1t was wrought in the choicest
flowers OF the southern cline.

Henry has worked alone with Raw
Inns.
The composition of the Coroner's jury
is also a subject of criticism. It's six
members included the manager, part
ner. proprietor, two employees and a
guest of the Moana Hotel, where the
tragedy occurred. They are men of
high standing. but it is said that prac-
witnesses in the case, instead of jur-
OrS.
INQUEST CRITICIZED.
The conduct of the inquest is also
strongly criticized. There was no close
examination of witnesses. Deputy
Sheriff Rawlins and those whom he
called appeared more as If they were
rehearsing well-learned parts than as
If making important Investigations.
The witnesses seemed to be kept with
in the bounds of a preconceived the
ory of the case and when the evidence
was in both the Sheriff and deputy
remained in consultation with the jur-
ors. Aaverdict was written out DUR
ing this consultation. Most spectators
and press representatives retired while
this was being done.
Returning in a few minutes they
found the Sheriff and deputy just with
drawing from the juryroom. The door
was closed and in two minutes the six
men signed the verdict and returned
it, declaring that murder had been
done. The verdict. thus arrived at Is
regarded with little respect in Homo
lulu.
On the part of the police there is q
disposition to regard Detectives Rey-
nolds and Callundan in the light of
special counsel. The idea is that they
L. u A.
prove natural death, for the sake of
the good name of the decea sed, and
that therefore they may be expected
to criticize the Honolulu police work
and the iury's verdict. ~--~-,,- ~
JORDAN'S WISH.
DR.. Jordan has from the first openly
stated his hope and wish that the in
vestigation might result in proving
death resulted from natural causes,
and at the conclusion of his visit here
he freely expressed the opinion that
such was the fact.
From the first the Honolulu police
pursued a policy of most extraordinary
and inexplicable secrecy and mystifi-
cation of every one concerned. No ex-
planation of 1t has been made except
Sheriff Henry's statement as regards
the scientific men, that he didn't want
them to be embarrassed at the inquest
by having expressed their opinions.
The fact is that nearly all of them
did so in a private way. The Sheriff
made numerous conflicting statements
which served to utterly mislead the
public and gave rise to endless ru-
morS.
There are many who think that the
cause of Mrs. Stanford's death viii
never be known. 1t has apparently
passed into the field of medical con-
troyersy and unless some striking reve
lations are brought forth from sources
now unknown there can be no inteIh-
gent conclusions drawn from the dif-
fering opinions of the doctors.

The rubber weed industry which
has been under discussion by the
board of trade and local newspapers
for sometime is subject worthy the
attention Of anyone VINO may find 1t
expedient to hustle out to make
dollar or so. Since $50 per ton has
been offered for the weed 1t might
pay better to seed lands for this pro.
duct than to grow alfalfa and let the
San Luis valley furnish the hay. But
there are groups of acres and tne
rubber weed does not appear to re
Quire irrigation. If there is little or
no rain the hardy rubber plant grows
like the sage, grease and chico weed
il survives like the horned toad and
cacti of the desert Information re
garding the seeding or planting of
the rubber weed may facilitate an
industry, may educate the farmer or
the other fellow wno may acquire
land by location or lease. or one who
would go on the eminent domain to
gather weed and make money. A
wider discussion leading to the educa-
ton of people who would make mon
ey will help little. Don't corner the
rubber weed, let them all In.
