Monte CristO. San Domingo, on July
9th, Barney Cohen, a coal passer on
the Yankee, died as the result of the
punishment he had received. Charles
Johnson, a negro coal passer on the
Olympia, Cohen's opponent. was ac-
quilted by a court of inquiry. which
rendered a verdict of accidental
death"
Johnson was the best middIeweight
fighter on the Olympia and Cohen had
defeated all the men of his class on
the Yankee. Rivalry between the men
led up to a ten-round bout for a prize
o. $50. A squared ring was built on the
aft deck of the Yankee, and Lieutenant
George T. PettingilI of the cruiser Den
yer was referee When the fight start
ed 500 men and at least a dozen of the
officers were at the ring side
After the first round it was apparent
that Johnson had Cohen at his mercy
In the eighth round Cohen, without be-
ing struck 4 blow, sank to the floor,
while Lieutenant Pettingiu counted the
final ten.
Cohen died the same day, and an
autopsy revealed that he had sustained
hemOrrhage of the brain. He was
buried with naval honors.

FAVORABLE TO JAPS
Law Interpreted by United States
District Attorney For Hawaiian
Islands.

Honolulu. Aug s, via san Francisco.
Aug. 15.-R. W. Breckons, who is Uni
ted States district attorney for this
district, has rendered an opinion for
the japanese merchants association ON
the territorial law which provides that
none but citizens or persons who are
eligible to become such shall be en-
ployed on any public contracts in the
islands. Breckons says that the law
is unconstitutional and a violation OF
the United States treaty with Japan.
1t is understood that the Japanese
merchants association intends to pre-
pare a test case and insist upon the
right of Japanese contract to bid
on public contracts and employ their
cOUntrymen as laborers.
Reports have been received from the
island of Hawaii of smoke issuing
from the crater named MokUa weeoweO

the Indictment upon the ground that il
mad been returned almost wholly upon
the strength OF his own evidence before
the grand jury and that he had not been
warned OF his rights nor told that he
need not so testify as TO incrimTnate him
self. It is contended that there was no
authority to return the indictment
against him after he had been subpoenaed
and forced 10 testify before the grand
jurZ.
Cornell was indicted for prejury in max
ing an affidavit before the registrar Of
the United States land office at Lewis
ton that he had filed upon his timber
claim for his own benefit and that he
had received the money from his own
family. when in fact he made the filing

secured from him. The filing of this
motion has aroused much interest and
those keeping in touch with the land
fraud cases are speculating as 10 what
il may signify.

GIVES THE DEVIL HIS DUE.

The strongest advocate of joint statehood for New Mexico and Ari- zona, is THE OASIS published at Nogales, Arizona. 1t is really a bright paper and it's arguments are as we'll put as they can be in good and expressive English. While the New Mexican does not agree with it's views, and TIE OASIS is as lonely as it's name indicates as far as the position of the press of Arizona on joint statehood is concerned, yet, it is gratifying that the border town of Nogales has so bright and clean newspaper.-- Santa Fe New Mexican.
 THE OASIS most politely tilts it's hat to it's Santa Fe contemporary, and assures that excellent news paper that the compliment is ap- preciated. And while regretting that the New Mexican is not now in line with this journal upon the question of statehood, THE OASIS anticipates the ultimate arrival of a time when it will gracefully come over, as it did in 1890 on the ques- tion of certain amendments to a proposed constitution for New Mexico, insisted upon by the San Juan County Index, of which newspaper THE OASIS man was then the editor.
 As contribution to the history
The oasis., 1905-07-29

of that time it is here recalled that the legislature of 1889 called a con- vention to frame constitution for the proposed state of New Mexico. The convention promulgated proposed fundamental law, which the Index criticised as deficient in some particulars. The New Mexi- can defended the document, and the discussion between the two newspapers attracted wide atten- tion throughout the territory. As a result of that discussion the con- stitutional convention was re- assembled and put into the instru- ment the very clauses that the Index insisted had been wrong fully omitted; and the New Mex ican approved of the change. With the amendments that journal and the Index stood in line supporting the instrument. Upon the present. differences between the New Mex ican and the former editor of the San Juan County Index (now of THE 0AsIs) history will repeat it. self. The New Mexican will come around and stand in line with TIE OASIS for creation of one of the greatest and grandest states in the American Union.
The oasis., 1905-07-29

From the railroad standpoint there was put forth the same ex- cuse for it's organ the Journal now gives for its own appearance i'll Stafford, viz: that there is demand for such a newspaper-and the railroad filled the demand of that time. But the ultimate result evil denced that the real demand was to get the Union out of the way just as 1t seems at this distance that the real demand for the Jour nal in Graham county is from tax shirking corporations, who want to get rid of the Guardian and an honest assessor.
