The Thursday Club was addressed
by Postmaster J. G.. Pratt last even
ing. The first postmaster general was
Ben Franklin. From that time the
postoffice had kept pace with the ma
terial progress of the country. The
prime duty of the postoffice is to get
mail out as soon as possible after
it arrives The postoffice in Hawaii
office in Washington on a smaller
scale. Steamboats, are used largely
in the place of railroads. Hawaii,
however, has no postmaster general as
has Washington, but the postmaster
of Honolulu has some unusual duties.
The stamp cancelling device in use
here will, on a pinch, cancel 1000
stamps per minute. The government
will not take a package that weighs
over four pounds.
Registration was introduced in 1855.
It insures privacy, as extra care is
taken of such mail. It has to be re-
ceipted for and the return card sent
to the original sender. The postmaster
receiving the letter or parcel also
has to send in receipt for It. An in
trfcate system of checks is kept so
that it can be traced from the hands

comfortless, and, owing to the nature
of the crime with which the prisoner
may be charged, the room is barren
of furniture. Only "a japanese mat

INFORMATION
of Washington
Delegation OeIve
For Data.

The delegation to Washington, con-
sisting of w. o. Smith, G.. W. Smith,
E. A McInerny, Mark P. Robinson
and J. r. Gait met and organized for
business yesterday afternoon in the
office of w Q. Smith.
w. o. Smith was appointed chair
man and J. r. Gait treasurer of the
delegation.
A general discussion took place as
to what would be best to do in the
way of obtaining information and
material for use in Washington.
Each member was assigned work
and requested to obtain details rela-
tive to population, taxation, customs
receipts, land transfers, the amount
of money expended by Congress on
the Territory since annexation and
the amount of money received by the
United States from the Territory since
1898
The delegation will thus be prepared
to answer intelligently any questions
that may be asked during their visit
to the capitol.
The matter of press representa-
tive was allowed to lay over for the
time being.
Chairn-@.n w. o. Smith may leave
here next Tuesday, the remainder of
the delegation departing on the 18th
instant.

FRANK T. NICHOLS
SELLS OUT INTEREST

a report was current around town
yesterday that Frank E. Nichols,
president of Wall, Nichols Co, Ltd.
January 1 and would leave Honolulu
today to go into business elsewhere.
Thos E. Wall confirmed the rumor
over the phone last night and stated
that the matter would be made public
today.

son looked badly. He was unshaven,
unwashed, unkempt and nervous. He
was attired in woolen shirt and
dark trousers. He was barefooted.
JOHNSON IS CRAFTY.
Sheriff Brown, Deputy Sheriff Cox,
Deputy Sheriff Holt and Crimino1o-
gist Chester Doyle entered the room
and the prisoner rose to his feet.
When the former began questioning
Johnson, the latter looked from one
to another in a dazed sort of way.
But his answers were crafty, and, of
course, he declared he did not know
how Simeon Wharton came to his
death. Occasionally he snickered
when a question was put to him. Once
in a while he trembled, especially
when the Sheriff and Doyle took hold
of his hands and examined his finger
nails. He was perfectly willing to
show the Sheriff his undershirt. No,
there was no dirt on that shirt, no
blood; nothing.

TELLTALE EVIDENCE.

The police have the following evil
dence against Johnson: Blood-stain-
ed garments; an l. X. L. knife coated
with dried blood and the statement
of a little eight-year-old japanese
girl who claims she saw Johnson lead
little Simeon away from the Whar-
ton home toward the cane-field where
the mutilated body was found later
in the day The most startling state
ment from this same witness is that
johnson told her that he had killed

a resident Of this county, coming as
early as 1918, when he made a
settlement near Plum Greek. From
here he went to Monticello, being
one of the first merchants to engage

in good producing condition. Ii

plentifully laid here and use it OF
the land, which he says will respon,
with double yield for its application
