A CONTENTION WHICH MAY DE-
LAY HIS EXECUTION FOR
THREE MONTHS

The Frank Johnson murder case has
raised question as to whether it is the
duty of the executive in all capital
cases to study the whole transcript of
testimony before taking action to
have a condemned person executed.
Under the law the governor is the per-
son to sign the death warrant, fixing
the date of execution, and the papers
have been prepared in the Johnson
case, but the transcript has not been
written up.
Johnson's trial lasted four weeks and
1t will take two or three months to
have a transcript written up. Unless
there is an appeal the testimony is
usually not transcribed at all, ard no
transcript has been ordered in this
case 1t was supposed that the gov
ernor would take action on the records
of the case, showing a regular trial and
conviction, but a question has been
raised as to whether this Is proper.
The question was raised, 1t Is stat
ed in the Korean cases. 1t was claim-
ed that the acting governor had no
right to accept the documentary evil
dence from the cOu, Is that a regular
trial and conviction had taken place
but that he must personally review all
the evidence before signing a death
warrant. If this view is adopted as the
correct one, Johnson's execution will
not take place for three months or
more.

Especial Correspondence of The starr.
KAHULUI, Maui, May 1S.-The dred-
ger is steadily at work in the harbor
and the new peninsula of coral rock
near the oil tanks grows larger every
day. 1t extends now 100 feet from
Shore and about 30 feet wide Close
in shore where the dredger has been
at work the harbor now has depth of
26 feet and this is being extended
along shore very fast.
They are now working right close up
to the wharf that was built by the
Spreckels boys, and the wharf is slow
ly being demolished. The piles are
left standing until the dredger takes
AWAY their foundation below when
they are easily removed. The heavy
weather of last week interferred with
the work a great deal, loosening the
pipe connections and causing many de-
lays, but now the work goes on with
few intermissions, day or night.

The Social Science club is to hold a
second meeting this evening to dis
cuss the Korean murder cases, and to
pass a resolution asking the acting
governor to commute the sentence of
two fthe murderers. The report of
the special committee on the subject
has been prepared and it is to be the
basis of the resolution i'm question. Ac
cording to report, it makes a showing
from the transcript of evidence i'm favor
of the two murderers whom it pleads
for, and it follows the good old custom
of roasting Chester Doyle, who secured
much of the evidence in all the cases.
Deputy Attorney General Milverton,
who prosecuted the cases is compli-

ability and zeal he showed in the pro-
secutions, but at the same time the
authors of the report think he got more

Think KOREANS
SHOULD HANG

There seems to be a unanimous OPT
nion among the various plantation
managers now in town that the five
Koreans now under death sentence for
brutally torturing and killing one of
their fellow countrymen a short time
ago on the Kukaiau Plantation on Ha-
waii, should be hanged. Not one of
the managers seemed to think that the
sentence should be commuted and many
expressed the thought that hanging
was too good for such brutes.
There did not seem to be any fear
on the part of the planters that the
hanging of the Koreans would stop
other Koreans from coming here as
laborers. Something must be done to
let the people of that race know who
was i'm control here and the hanging
of these men would effectively do it,.
Hanging them would not make any
difference in the opinion of the man
ayers but not hanging them would, for

The two murderers in whose behalf

then would commence another reign
of lawlessness which would be hard to
check. The managers did not seem
to be a bit backward about expressing
their sentiments and they seemed to
have their minds made up in regard to
the punishment that should be meted

plantation was of the opinion that the

that those fellows should hang. They
brutally tortured fellow countryman

been killed outright it would not have
been so bad. The Koreans are not
worth a great deal as laborers anyway

Chester crowell Hurled Dish at sus-
peeted Robber.

San Antonio, Texas, Dec 14-While
he was on his way from work about
II o'clock last night, Chester Crowell,
a reporter on the Daily Express, saw
a man emerge from the brush along
side Morales street, and suspecting
that the man was about to hold him
up, he hurled a dish at the stranger,
striking the man on the head and in
ilicting an ugly cash. 1t developed
that the man struck was Fred Am
man. who conducts a grocery store
near the scene where he was assault
ed, and he made an affidavit against
Crowell for assault. Amman was out
looking for his horse and wagon,
which had disappeared, when he met
Crowell, who threw a dish at him.
Crowell was taking home a number
of dishes in which he had taken his
lunch with him to the Office, and that
was the first article he got his hand
on when he saw the man approaching
him. After he had struck the man
CrOwell ran home, not far from there,
and aroused his father, Billie Crowell,
the former baseball pitcher, who grab
bed his shotgun and started out in
search Of the supposed would-be high
wayman. When the found Mr.. Am
man and discovered the mistake that
had been made, young Crowen apollo
gized for his hasty action. The as
sault case is to be tried today.

The storm center in the upper val

has remained stationary and is ac-

over Arkansas and Tennessee.
The high pressure has moved to
Kansas, causing colder weather south
to the gulf, and east to the Mississippi
river. It continues below zero in Mon

RUN DOWN BY FAST TRAIN.
Waxahaehie Street Car Demolished
and the Driver Killed.

Waxahachie, Texas, Dec. IA fear
full accident occurred this morning
about Gas o'clock at the crossing of
the Katy and the street car line in
the western part of the city in which
Scott Brasher, the car driver, and two
mules were instantly killed by the
south bound passenger train. The car
was completely demolished, pieces
being strewn along the track several
feet The body of Brasher was found
fully fifty feet from the crossing with
nearly every bone in his body broken
and several severe gashes cut on his
head and face. One mule was dis
emboweled and otherwise frightfully
mangled.
The car was returning from a trip
TO Trinity University. and it is consid.
cred fortunate that it did not contain
a single passenger. The train was
running about fifteen minutes late but
had reduced the speed before the
crossing was reached. No stop was
made as the operator of the signal
tower had given the signal Of a clear
track He did not observe the car
until too late to prevent the accident.

State Tobacco Growers Association.

We publish in our columns this
week the dates Of several meetings
which will be held next month in the
interest Of the tobacco growers, and
it is our desire to call the attention
of each and every farmer to these
meetings and urge them for their
own good to attend them.
The Tobacco Growers Association
was formed about a year ago and it
has at present large membership.
1t is young, and though it has not
accomplished any great wonders, it
has done some very effective work,
as can be seen by the differences in
prices on the tobacco market this
year.
For several years back tobacco has
been greatly deprecated in value
until last year it brought almost
nothing. Something had to be done
or the raising of tobacco as a staple
crop abandoned, SO a number of en-
ergetic men in the tobacco growing
counties went to work aud formed
associations in their respective coun-
ties, after which all of the associa-
tons joined and formed one large
association, the State Tobacco Grow
ers' Association. Every farmer who
has not joined this association should
do so at once, as it is his only saliva
ton as far as his tobaeco crop is con-
cerned.
1t is our special desire to urge the
members of the association to give it
their warmest support and to attend
the meetings to be held in the Goun-
ty next month. All the meetings
will be addressed by prominent far
mers throughout the State. These
meetings should be largely at
tended aud the Tobacco Growers
Association should be given the
heartiest and warmest support.
Other associations with a similar OBJ
ject in view have succeeded, so why
not this The cotton markets and
various other markets were made
much better through the same
course that we are pursuing, so the
farmers who push this association
ahead will not live to regret it.
