STANDARD is AFRAID
To Put Any More Witnesses Up Be-
fore HadIey.

New York, Dec. 21.-With surpris-
ing abruptness the hearings in the
Standard Oil inquiry came to a close
yesterday. Herbert S. Hadley, attor-
ney general of Missouri, had no op-
portunity to cross-examine high Off
cials of the corporation as he had
hoped. 1t had been understood that
John D. Archbold and perhaps other
prominent men would be put on the
stand by the corporations attorneys
to give testimony in rebuttal, but it
was decided at the last moment by
the Standard Oil array of counsel that
no more witnesses would be called by
the defense.
This change of front came as a
complete surprise to Attorney General
Hadley, but not altogether as a sur
prise to DISTINGUISHED persons who had
followed the investigation. They point
ed out that Mr.. Hadley, by adroit cross
examination, had drawn more damag-
ing testimony from Standard Oil wit
nesses than from witnesses hostile to
the corporation. This was Mr.. Had
ley's belief. also. and he was looking
forward eagerly to the cross-examina-
ton OF long list of Standard Oil men.
He was visibly disappointed at the
turn which the inquiry took, and while
making no comment for quotation, he
let it be known that he regarded the
decision to present no more testimony
as practical abandonment of the de-
Tense.

JOHvSON'S
HANGING
ILLEGAL?
GEAR SAYS IT MUST HAVE BEEN
If THE FLORIs INDICTMENT is
PROVED.

Either Frank Johnson was unlaw-
fully hanged or this Grand jury was
an unlawful body" said Judge Gear
this morning in Judge Lindsays court
arguing to quash the indictment
brought against Thomas Floris for as
sault with a weapon. THE attorney
generals department must assume the
responsibility for taking the life Of
Johnson's in violation of law, or else
admit that the Grand jury which
brought this indictment was not law
fully constituted body"
Deputy Attorney. General Fleming,
who appeared for the government, de-
clared that he didn't care anything
about the Johnson matter, Johnson be-
ing dead and buried. He cOntended
that the indictment was all right. 1t
was agreed that Gears motion to quash
should be submitted on briefs.
The motion is based on a claim that
the Grand jury of the last term, i'm
panelled and sworn by Judge De Bolt
on April 2, was sworn in before the
previous term had been adjourned,
there being two cases of that term on
trial. One of them was that of Muir
derer Johnson. 1t is claimed that one
Of the two terms must have been ille-

that it showed inherent evidences of
being untrue. Man Yong told the
story, he said, as if it were a well
studied one, and related details which,
under the conditions of torture he tes-
titled to, he could never have remem-
bered or noticed.
Cathcart laid considerable stress up
on the denial by Turnkey Melancthy of
the Koreans statement that he had
been deprived of food and water He
also claimed that the defense had not
made a showing, as required by the
local statute, that the confession was
an untruthful one. Cathcart also in
timated that the matter was being used
as a basis of general attack upon the
police department.
Judge Lindsay is expected to give a
ruling this afternoon.
The trial of the general case, against
Yee Man Yong, is to be resumed to-
morrow morning, when the defendant S
confession of guilt will be given to the
jury, should Judge Lindsay hold that
it is admissible in evidence.

Tomorrow throughout the Territory
the public schools will learn which

prize which has been offered by Cover
nor Carter and a number of firms and
individuals in Honolulu for the Arbor
Day tree planting contest. The prizes
however will be given later. There
were ia schools entered the contest
and are entitled to the prize to be
awarded to the grade whose tree has
made the most progress during the
past year. In some places it was inn
possible for trees to be planted and
that brings the number of schools en-
titled to the prize down from $50 to
ia.
The fund which was contributed for
the purpose amounted to $40, Gov
ernor Carter subscribed one half of this
and firms and other individuals sub
scribed the remainder.
The schools which are not entitled to
a prize this year have been for the most
part prevented by unforeseen happenings
in one case the plantation ditch over
flowed and drowned the trees. In some
cases the grounds have been so full of
trees that it would not be possible to
plant more to an advantage.

YEE MAN YONG'S
REMARKABLE STORY
SAYS WATER CURE


Extraordinary and unheard Of" is
the characterization placed upon the
story of cruelty told by Yee Man Yong,
by counsel for both sides Of his case, in
the trial before Judge Lindsay. The
testimony is now all in, and this after
noon the attorneys are arguing as to
whether it has been shown that the
confession of the defendant was OBJ
tained by duress.
Lightfoot and Noar gave a hot roast
of Vida in this argument They drew
a graphic picture of the alleged torture
of the defendant, and characterized the
story of the water cure and the beat
ings, as one of the most remarkable
ever given in court. 1t was declared
that the defendants story bore the
stamp of truth, and the court was ask
ed to refuse to admit the confession in
evidence, on the ground that it had not
been voluntarily given.
In replying j. w. Cathcart agreed
that the story of the Korean was a
most astounding one, but he declared

THE LAND WHERE
LABOR IS RULER
HOW JUSTICE WILDER COMMITTED VIOLATION
LAND LAws-HIs IMPRESSIONS OF WHICH
GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP CARRIED TO ITS GREAT
EST EXTREME RAILROADS NIGHT

Associate Justice Wilder of the Su-
preme Court of Hawaii was unwittingly
guilty of a violation of the laws of
New Zealand, during his recent trip to
that interesting country, but a SYM
pathetic railroad conductor saved him
from the consequences. The viola
tion was i'm the Offering of a "tp" which
is against New Zealand law. The con-
ductor refused the tip and told the
judge that he was legally subject to a
fine of ten pounds for Offering it. The
instance was one of many which af-
forded Judge Wilder opportunities to
observe the conditions in the land of
advanced economic experiments, and
Judge Wilder's impressions are all to
the credit of the country
What most i1npresses one at first"
said the judge, "is the public ownership
of such enterprises as the railroads,
the telephones, telegraphs, etc, and
the manner in which they are managed.
The government even constructs and
building bath houses"
Has the government ownership pro-
duced the army of political grafters,
and the corruption which is predicted
in America if the government owns rail-
roads?" the judge was asked
mo there does not seem to be any
such condition. Whether it is because
the people are of different class, or
why it is, l do not pretend to say, but
no such conditions exist
I'm all my stay in New Zealand saw
not single beggar The conditions at
least appear to be such that everyone
is able to earn a reasonable living. The
country is prosperous.
