reefs and other distractions, gave a
graphic description Of Pearl HarbOr,
its needs and what had been done for
it, and his audience was an interested
one Both Mr.. Payne and Mr.. Foss
showed deep interest in the entire SUBJ
ject and frequently interjected ques-
tons. Captain Niblack said, in part:
I'm time of war I would not hesitate
to bring a war vessel into these lochs
as they are now dredged and buoyed.
However, On encountering wind in the
to manage a boat. There are many
sharp turns, as you can see by scan
ming the stretches ahead. There is
deep water here-forty to one hundred
feet-and on the bar there is thirty one
feet. The channel is really deeper
than it was when dredged, for it has
been secured since by the tides.
"The army is to establish Pinch bat
teries on land acquired from the plan
tation and private holders. With these
batteries in position, no ship could
come within range without being hit"
Captain Niblack said that one reason
which prompted the department to es-
tablish the station on the Waikiki side
of the lochs was because of the labor
question. They would be within easy
reach of the city by electric or other
train and could live in Honolulu while
working at the station.
The Captain spoke of tongues of
coral and mud jutting out from Kua-
hua island, which it was necessary to
dredge away. Most of the reefs he
had found were composed of rotten
coral and could be easily removed. He
also said that since the United. States
government had acquired the valuable
lands of Ford Island and the mainland
holdings, artesian water had been dis
covered which had increased the value
of the lands many times over.
The tortuous channel which Captain
has buoyed after much study
and difficulty impressed the various
members of Congress. In general they
thought it ought to be Strengthened
out, and Captain Niblack was of the
same mind.
The whole trip was an object lesson
to the Congressman, and hereafter,
when Hawaiian affairs come up in the
House there will be lot of members
to know just what is needed to develop
the islands and increase their value to
the mainland as an outpost necessary
to be fortified.
The trip from the channel to town
lasted about thirty minutes. On the
way up the hospitality of Captain
Lyon and Captain Niblack was enjoyed
by the guests.
Chairman Moss was particularly in
terested in the panorama unfolded from
the bridge of the Iroquois and he is
the man, of all men in the House, who
had need of personal knowledge of
the future great naval station Of the
Pacific.

FASCINATED
WITH THE PAIL

As soon as Secretary Taft, Miss
Roosevelt and members of the party
descended to the wharf, they were met
by members of the local committee.
Mrs. E. D. Tenney and Mrs. Fred. w.
Macfarlane of the ladies committee
were introduced to Miss Roosevelt by
Acting Governor Atkinson, and were
then escorted to their carriages. The
Secretary of War was placed in the
carriage of Governor Carter, Acting
Governor Atkinson taking his seat be-
side him, and the carriage was driven
ahead Of the line. Miss Roosevelt was
escorted to a carryall, with Mrs. Fred.
Macfarlane as her escort and Mr..
Nicholas Longworth occupying a seat
behind with Mrs. Dubois of Idaho as
her chaperon. In rapid manner the
remaining coaches and carryalls were
filled according to plans prepared by
the committee. The carriages moved
on the wharf through lines of infantry
from Camp Mckinley and an outer
file Of police sent by Sheriff Brown. In
each carriage were representatives OF
the local committee, placed there to
impart useful Information concerning
the islands. The outer wharf was
crowded with people. who had braved
the early morning hours just to catch
a glimpse of the great war secretary
and the presidents daughter. It must
be confessed that Miss Alice Roosevelt,
was really the cynosure Of all eyes.
There she is was the general muir
muir as the cavalcade moved on. There
were dozen carriages and coaches

cles.

MORNING. VISIT
TO PEARL LOChS

A change was made in the plans
tee, by doing the Pearl Harbor trip in
the forenoon instead of the afternoon
Therefore the U. S. S. Iroquois, in
command of Captain Niblack, was de-
spatched to the Harbor from Honolu-
lu shortly after the party started for
the Pail. AT Aiea, the Pearl Harbor
party was debarked from the special
train, which went on to the sugar mill.
Captain Niblack had the Iroquois'
boats and a launch at the little land
ing and the party OF a dozen or more
people We're conveyed on them aboard
the tug, which lay at some distance
from the shore.
Among those who went aboard were
Hon. Serene Payne, chairman of the
Ways and Means Committee of the
House, and Congressman Hill, mem

House Naval Affairs committee: Rep

He was cool and business-lke. ''What IS It,
Inspector" ne asked.
1--WE have arrested John Casey for the murder
of Truxton. Now, 1 find that he is on terms Of
intimacy with you, that he obtained money from
YOU few DAYS ago, and have sent for you to get
an explanation The man is inclined TO tell all
he knows and l am to have a long talk with hin
soon. He knows who committed that murder
DO YOU think so?" asked he. 1T IS true Casey
came to see me-" he continued and that he tried
to borrow money; but 1 didn't give him any. He
was quite insistent, and went away mutta-ing
threats"
What did he threaten?"
THAT he d accuse me of Truxtons murder
ION what grounds"
probably because Truxton and had @ business
dispute sometime ago." the reply.
This mans manner apparently frank; but
there was something highly unpleasant in the
attempt he made to smile L never saw worse
failure Although my purpose IN having Watson
brought to headquarters was to use MS presence
TO work upon the nerves of Casey, 1 suddenly
determined to have the former conducted into the
room that was furnished with Truxtons chair and
desk.
''This isn't good place to talk, SAID I; come
this way"
Watson probably thought 1 was about to con-
front him with Casey. He threw up his head and
nerving himself for the threatened accusation
followed me down the corridor. When opposite
the door of the counterfeit murder room, said.
Let's step in here and talk over TINS case.
Watson entered ahead of me- 1nsuspectinglv
I took the only other chair, that Watson had TO
seat himself in TruxtOns chair before the desk
Almost the first thing his hand came III contact
with was the revolver, which lay exactly where
it was found after the discovery of the crime He
withdrew his hand from the weapon. If 1t had
scorched him The effect upon Watson's nerves
was so disquieting that he sPrang to his feet. He
became white, and his eyes wandered from the
revolver to me and back again. His nervous

in the hope that he would supply with clue.
One afternoon he left the work he overseeing to
90 down town There he visited the office of con-
tractor named Watson, who had been business
rival of Truxton. The natural inference would be
that he was seeking a job. But he did not go
back to his work; he went to savlngs-bank on the
East Side and deposited some money. We have
means of ascertaining all about such things, and
soon knew that the put in the bank was small,
what might be part of his weekly wages.
Meanwhile, the autopsy and the Coroners inquest
had been held The former showed that the bullet
in the dead mans head had not been fired from
Truxton's pistol. That established the fact OF
murder But where was the ball that belonged
to the second cartridge? Presumably, it had taken
effect in the assailant and he had carried it away
in his BODY The hospitals had no case OF pistol
wounding at that time-an unusual thing.
Casey was taken into custody one morning as
he was going to work He was brought to head
quarters, and employed for his benefit common
trick of the Third Degree" the Reconstruction
of the Scene of the Crime"
The French rely greatly upon CONFORMATION,
confronting the suspected murderer with the body
of his victim. There is doubt that this works
well in France, its success being due, perhaps, to
the strongly imaginative intense and highly strung
French nature Fear causes loath1ng, and horror
or hate causes a revival of anger, and betrayal
results in one way another According to my
experience however, this plan has no value IN this
country. | tried it many times, but rarely nave
known a murderer to show the least feeling under
such circumstances. Possibly it is difference in
national character; possibly it IS something Tor
which our accused parties prepared
| found it valuable however, to talk over the
crime with an accused man in the presence of all
the accessories. Touching and handling the weapon;
discussing the position of the victim; how he must
have turned moved, risen etc; the light from the
window. whether or not others who
might have heard or discussion OF all these
facts is practically certain to make a man be-

My visitor seized the

ton of an instant there
was murder in his eyes.

affected not to notice his
impulse. The pistol was
unloaded. a fact that he

him of any participation

vague hope that Casey
had made some sort OF
confession to Watson,
which l could entrap him
into divulging. Imagine

and said calmly

in some small unguarded

that he is familiar with
the situation of the

from him springs the
trap.
