Alatau T. Atkinson, for years prom
inent figure in educational affairs in
Hawaii, passed away yesterday morn
| ing at his residence on Bates street
Deceased had been a sufferer from
illness for the past year but of late he
was frequently down town with his
' wife. On Monday night he had sew
eral hemorrhages which weakened him
materially. Yesterday morning he
seemed cheerful and conversed with
the members of his family until few
minutes before ten when he had an
other, and more violent hemorrhage
from which, owing to his weakened
condition. he did not survive.
That death was unexpected may be
inferred by the fact that Governor At
kinson, his eldest son, was at the time
on the Nippon Maru giving final in
structions to the relief committee de-
parting for the Coast and II was sew
eral hours later before the death be-
came known to the public.
The funeral services were held from
St Andrews Cathedral at five o'clock
yesterday afternoon. Rev. Canon Mack
intosh conducting. The chancel, and
the space behind, was banked with
most beautiful flowers, white pre-
dominating but there We're wreaths,
bouquets, leis and set pieces Of fragrant
violets and roses-one bouquet of enor-
nous American Beauty roses being es-
pecially noticeable. A wreath of white
marguertes and maidenhair required
two men to carry. The last token was
/ placed in position only a few minutes
before the casket containing the re-
mains arrived at the church.
The Rev. Canon Macintosh reading

the dead, and the honorary pall-bear-
ers S. NJ. Damon, F. NJ Swanzy, A.

remains which were encased in casket
covered with steel grey embossed plush
and was borne to the chancel by six

stands as monument to him for his
method and exactness of detail. He
continued in charge of the school sys-

then his health has not been good and
from a strong, healthy CHEEKY man
he fell away in flesh and much of his
lightness of spirit departed.
AS an editor he was pleasing and
could be caustic when occasion re-
quired. He was poet of no mean
ability and many of his verses have
been published abroad.

In sentencing johnson to be hanged,
Judge Robinson said:

what circumstances of atrocity and
cruelty surround or are inseparably
connected with the commission of the

Pleas of Akron, Summit County, Ohio,
made mistake some years ago, and
convicted and executed the wrong
man-an innocent man. That there
was one mistake made, even in one in
stance. is sufficient to condemn the in
Fiction of the death penalty in all in
stances.
"The taking of human life by com
monwealth as "A punishment for crime
and because of its deterrent effect upon
possible subsequent offenders in the
commission of like crimes, is often
sought to be justified upon the ground
of imperative public necessity, but the
Ku- Klux-Klan, in reconstruction days,
sought, and lynching parties at all
times seek, to justify the outrages
committed by them upon like grounds.

been held. And all through this long
and mainly coherent talk, he adroitly

that has ever taken place in a court

OPPOSES DEATH PENALTY.

"The law should not take that which
it cannot give; it cannot give natural
life, it should not take it. The intlic-
tion of the death penalty in any case
must have a degrading, even brutaliz-
ing, effect upon the rising generation
and induce them to consider less highly
the value of a human life.
"Were | member of the Legisla-
ture, my voice and vote would ever be
recorded in opposition to this form of
penalty, but in my judicial capacity,
and under my oath of Office, it is my
duty to administer and enforce the
laws as ! find them entered upon our
statute books, and as acquired from
other authentic sources.
"The statute applicable to the pres
ent case is plain and unambiguous and
leaves no room for doubt as to it's
meaning and construction. Under it
there is but one penalty which this
court can impose, but one punishment
which il can intlict,

AFFECTS PARTY WALLS.
Court Sustains District Building Regu-
Observation-Disclosures Denied.

In an opinion handed down by Justice
Barnard today the authority of the District
Commissioners regards the clause In the
building regulations requiring that party
walls in all buildings in the city shall be
thirteen inches in thickness Is fully upheld.
and the petition for writ of mandamus by
Thomas r. Smithson is denied.
Justice Barnard. in his written opinion,
gives review of the case. in which he
states that the opinions Of various builders
are considerably at variance. and he adds
that unless 1t Is an unreasonable regulation
which requires thirteen-inch walls the court
Is without power to interfere. "lt IL DIFF
fcult," he says, for the court to say that
regulation requiring a thirteen-inch party
wall must. of necessity, be an unreasonable
regulation"
