SOME PARDONABLE
BLOWING FOR MAUI

Commenting on Maui county's lease
of the jail building from the Superin-
tendent of Public Works for county Of
fees, news of which was first given
by the Advertiser last week, the Maui
News says:
This will give Maui an advantage
over all the other counties, for none
have their own offices and most of them
are scattered about in different build
ings. Maui is not only accomplishing
more permanent results with her funds
than any of the counties, but is max
ing strides for the development of the
county that will make of her the most
prosperous island OF all, in spite Of
the fact that she has been a feeder
of Oahu for so many years in the past.
while some of the counties hav.
gone into the courts to ascertain the
rights, privileges and powers of the
petty personages whose heads have be-
come swollen through the offices they
hold, Maui has gone quietly about the
duties before her and has laid plans
and is carrying them into execution for
the betterment of her people that Is not
equaled by any county, in the group"

MONEY IN Rubber.

Editor Advei tiser: l have been look
Ing over the tropical exchanges re-
ceived by our library during the last
three months and note that the inter-
est in rubber that is developing in all
tropical countries is marvellous. 1 be-
lieve that investments in rubber made
in the next ten years here in Hawaii
will amply repay men for their faith
in the future of this new industry.
There are thousands OF acres of rubber
trees in Kona, Hilo and Puma, on Ha-
wall, and on windward Maui, Oahu and
Kauai.
The planters i'm India and Ceylon
have found that the rubber from Hevea
trees is not of first quality until the
trees are about eight years old. After
that age the rubber doubles in value.
Rubber from the Ceara trees. on the
contrary, is of just as good quality in
one-year trees as in those which are
hve Years old
stalk of cane has sugar. The sugar is
worth 1-2 cents a pound, the rubber
from 60 cents up.
There is a wide field for experiment
and invention in the discovery of me-
chanical devices for the extraction of
the rubber yielding sap from the young
growth of trunk, twig and leaf.
on the Maui plantations it has been
noted that some Ceara trees bear seed
when year old. This habit of early
seed bearing Is going TO be an import
ant factor here. so that in another year
or two an abundance Of seed may be
obtained locally and of far better quail
ity than that which is now being i'm
ported.
Another important matter which has
been overlooked Is that the Ceara
trees can be re lc!.y reproduced from
cuttings. l bell We that there are for
tunes TO be made out OF rubber here
IN Hawaii and tina. there VIII be no
such thing as overproducti0n for TWEEN

FIXES DAY
FOR DEATH

Frank Johnson. convicted OF the
brutal murder ~ little simeon Whar-
ton. viii be hanged on Thursday,
May 81 His Death warrant was signed
by the Acting Governor yesterday.
Governor Atkinson has spent the last
few days going over the record in the
case. and on Thursday gave orders
that the death warrant should be pre-
pared. The crime for which johnson
was convicted was one OF the most
atrocious ever committed in these is
lands. The Wharton boy. a child
about FIVE years old was enticed by
the man. who had been In the habit
of playing with the little chap short
distance from his home. where the
mother was at work and other little
children paying. and In broad day
light butchered in the most horrible
way.
The crime. in fact, had about it so
many clements of the horrible, even
of the grotesque, that 1t was thought
by many persons that 1t must have
been the work of an insane man. And
the defense that johnson made, or that
was made for him, was insanity. a
confession which the accused was
alleged to have made after he was cap
tured was very strongly discredited in
the course of the trial, or rather strong
efforts We're made to discredit it, but
it was finally allowed to go in.
Johnson's defense, indeed, was n very
able one all through, conducted by At
torney Harrison, and While it was go5
ing forward the man sat stolid, appar-
f.at Oh oil
watching would show that no hing go
ing on in the court room escaped him.
He was compared, more than once. to
a trapped small animal of the rodent
kind, aVd that was exactly what he
looked Ike.
After his conviction, johnson sudden
ly threw aside his pretense of insanity
making a long and coherent speech
that convinced even the Judge, him
self opposed to capital punishment and
therefore perhaps inclined to think the
prisoner insane, that the accused could
distinguish the difference between
right and wrong and had shrewd
sense of his own accountability.
OF course johnson has been out OF
the publ eye since his return to prison
following conviction. and so there is
no means of knowing how he has con-
Quoted himself since he showed in court
that he had been feigning insanity
Now he comes into the lime light
again-for few days.
Besides johnson. whose day of eXecu-
ton has been set, there are the five
Korean murderers from Hilo. doomed
to die next Wednesday unless there
should be an extension of executive
