ed"
The inaccuracy and inconsistency OF
this statement make comment uhhec-
essary otherwise l might resent the
assertion that Cummins is now living
under a government that would stoop
to rob a citizen.
The whole argument presented seems
to indicate that the payment OF the
6ne was all that was desired, that, to
quote. "A little oil makes the thump-
screw ease ND" Yet the trend of it is,
that this Hawaiian chief IS ready 10
admit that the only balm that can no"
be poured on his wounds Is that OF
dollars and cents. A man who clalihs
that his honor, his dignity and reputa-
tion have been injured and smlrched'
practically admits that the payment OIL
a few paltry dollars would constitute
restitution. Did he doubt pubic con-
fidence in his character, were ne ,seeh-
ing to have his reputation restored,
memorial signed by those VINO tooh
mart in his conviction, stating that they
believed that his evidence was compete
and the judgment was given Simply ~
accordance with the law because ne
had pleaded guilty-such would do far
more towards enabling him to lift up
his head high with pride.
To sum up the situation, 1 do not
believe that the administration should
recommend a payment Of TINS money
for the following reasons:
First. The United States Government
land the Territory of Hawaii under ~
does not admit its responsibility ioI
the acts committed at that time.
Second. In this particular instance
it is clear from the evidence that MT
Cummins was urged not to plead guilty
- tho charge of treason, but to SUB
stitute for that one of misprision OF
treason. This he declined to do, fol-
lowing the advice of his own attorney
and he must, therefore, abide by Ms
own acts Very sincerely yours,
G. r. CARTER,
Governor.

AFTER BANK HOOTERS
Warrants Issued To-Day For the Arrest of Three Men Who Robbed the
 Trust Company
ONE MAN GOT $s,ooo,ooo

Philadelphia, Sept 5.-District Attorney Bell, who is Investigating the footing of the real estate trust company, to-day said that warrants for the arrest of three men connected with the collapse of the institution will be served about noon. The men to be arrested, he said, are Adolph Segal, who borrowed more than $5,- 00O,O00 from the company on insuf- ficient collateral; William F. North, treasurer of the real estate trust company, and Marshal s. Colling- wood, the assistant treasurer.
 The warrants will contain charges of conspiracy, embezzlement and false returns to the state banking de- partment. The latter charge will not be brought against Segal as he had no official connection with the con- pany.
 The warrants for the arrest of Sc- gal, North and Collingwood were is- sued by Magistrate William s. Koch ersperger, after which the district at torney announced that the accused men had waived the formal service of the warrants and that they would enter ball. Segals bail was fixed at $25,0O0 and that of North and Col lingwood at $10,000 each.

ANOTHER OLDEST VOTER"
W. c. Phelps of Winchester Was 9e
 Years Old Yesterday.

Winsted, Sept 5.-William c. Phelps, the oldest resident Of the town of Winchester and also the old est voter in the state, celebrated the 99th anniversary of his birthday yes terday. MT Phelps is enjoying re- markedly good health for a man of his years. He retains his faculties wonderfully and can see and hear almost as we'll as ever. He Is a con- stant reader and takes great inter- est In national and state affairs.
 As has been his custom for years he retires almost with the sun and Is up at daylight. Many of the early hours are spent in small garden in the rear of his home on High street which he planted and has cared for unassisted, doing much of the work while sitting in chair. MT Phelps is a staunch republican and weather permitting he will walk to the polls at the coming elections and cast a straight republican ticket.
