Veterans of the War of the Rebellion
occupied seats of honor at Central
Union Church last evening close to the
pulpit draped in the national colors.
From this patriotic rostrum a Memo
rial Sunday address was made by Act
ing Governor A. L. c. Atkinson, direct
in commemoration of the coming Decor
alton Day. The address, however, di-
crossed and dwelt mainly upon topics
of civic interest.
In fact, the address was one of the
most stirring which an executive of
Hawaii has ever had occasion to pre-
sent to an audience. Basing his theme
of civic performance upon the sanctity
of the home and the integrity Of the
nation, for which the veterans could be
thanked, the Acting Governor present
ed an array of philippines against muck
rakers, knockers, grafters, political
wrongdoers and selfish legislators.
On the platform with the Acting
Governor were Rev. DR.. Kincaid, Presi
dent A. L. Griffiths, of Oahu College;
President Perley Horne, of Kameha-
meha Schools, and Rev. John Hopwood,
Chaplain of Kamehameha. The service
throughout was patriotic. There was
an invocation ny Mr.. Horne, followed
by the singing of "God Bless Our Ma
tive Land. :" Mr.. Griffiths read the
Scripture lesson and the choir followed
with the singing of the "Te Deum. -
Rev. Mr.. Hopwood offered prayer, a
strong, patriotic tribute to the Divine
Authority. The 'Star Spangled Ban
ner" was sung by Mr.. Hugo Herzer,
assisted by the choir, in a pleasing
manner. The singing of the "Battle
Hymn of the Republic" brought forth
q volume of voices from every part of
the auditorium and following this DR..
Kincaid introduced Acting Governor
Atkinson, who read the following ad-
dress:

reason, and for the further reason that
he is an Achi man. However, Aehi is

That most unpleasant duty, the sign
ing of a death warrant, was yesterday
passed up to the Territorial executive
in the following communication:

Territory of Hawaii.
Honolulu, May 2sth, 1906.
Honorable A. l.. C. Atkinson, Acting
Governor, Territory of Hawaii
Sir: l have the honor to inform you
that the Honorable ]. T. De Bolt has
this day imposed the following judy
ment and sentence on Kaliko Kaawa-
loa convicted of murder in the first de-
gree on the Gath day of May, A. d

duly impaneled and sworn to try the
issues Joined I'm the case of The Terri

wit: THE sentence of this court Is
that you (Kaliko Kaawaloa) suffer the
punishment of death by being hanged

"at the hour of Q I'm the forenoon of
this the 2Sth day of May, A. d. 1906"
Kaawaloa had nothing to say. when
Mr.. Hopkins interpreted the usual
question, why sentence of death should
not be pronounced upon him. Neither
Mr.. Fleming for the Territory nor Mr..
Crook for the defendant made any re-
marks. Judge De Bolt stated the facts
of defendants having been indicted
and receiving fair trial. with the re-
suit of conviction by fairly consti-
tuted jury. then quoting the require
ment OF the law for such cases pro-
nounced the fatal words.
Kaawaloa received his doom with an
appearance of unconcern and walked
out of court, under escort of two off,
GERS, with an easy swing. On the first
day, when the jury was being inn
paneled, he wore an utterly hangdog
look, but on succeeding days his de-
meanor was bright to a degree, APP
parently, OF pleasurable interest in his
surroundings.

awaloa battered the life out of

whom he had been living at Kakaako.
