UNIQUE POLITICAL TANGLE
Contest over District Attorneyship
Leaves Office Without Any
Incumbent
By Associated Press.

by ASSOHldled -0I6SS.
SAN JOSE, Cal, Dec. ia situa-
tion unique in the history of county
politics has been occasioned by the
decision of Superior Judge Hyland,
handed down today in the Free-Camp-
bell contest for the office of district
attorney.
Returns from the election of No
vember indicated the election of Ar
thur M. Free over James H. Camp
bell, the present district attorney, by
SO votes.
Campbell filed notice of contest on
the ground that Free at the time of
his election occupied a federal posi-
tion as postmaster of Mountain View
and was therefore ineligible. He also
demanded and secured a recount.
AT the conclusion of the recount to-
day which showed a total plurality for
Free of 92 Judge Hyland decided that
neither candidate was entitled to a
certificate of election, Campbell being
declared beaten and Free, the victor,
ineligible.
Counsel for Free claim the office is
vacant and that the board of super
visors must appoint
Counsel for Campbell insist that
since there was no election there can
be no vacancy and hence their client
is entitled to the office until the next
general election

Standard Oil company wants the light
oil of the Midway field, and if it can Sc
cure a contract for 100000 barrels a
pipe line will be constructed from the
west side to the tanks in the Kern

Messrs. Page, Morrow and Storey of

look over the situation. The Standard s
agents are gathering data to deter
mine whether or not the pipe line Is
feasible.
The STANDARD very much needs the
22-gravity oil of Midway to mix with
the heavy oils of Kern river, and the
report is that ii has Offered rs cents to
the Midway producers, though it is
likely that the trust will hardly be able
to purchase the product for that fig-
ure,
Producers are convinced that this is
but a feeler and that the Standard is
prepared to go much higher to secure
the light oil of Midway.

BY Associated PresA


ROME, Dec. 11.-Since the recall of
Bellamy Storer from the post of am
bassador of the United States to Aus
tria- Hungary last March, several at
tempts have been made to induce the
vatican authorities to set forth what

BROWN MAY DIE
At ANY MOMENT
At $3.50 O'Clock This Morning His
Pulse Was 1862 and Temperature
1OL6--Woman- Slayer
In a Panic
BY Associated Press.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-Former
United States Senator Arthur Brown,
who was shot down in his room at the
Raleigh hotel last Saturday by Mrs.
Anna NJ. Bradley, is gradually sinking,
and his death is expected momentariy.
According to a bulletin given at 2;3O
this morning, the senator's physicians
do not expect the patient to live
through the night. His temperature
was 10i.6 and his pulse 152.
Assistant District Attorney ]. G. Adj
kins called at the hospital shortly after
6 O'Clock last evening with a stenog-
rapher to take Mr.. Browns ante NOR
tenn statement.
According to the hospital physicians,
the physician refused TO give a state
ment, and not realizing his critical con-
dition, requested Mr., Adkins to call to-
morrow.
He has. been unconscious since
o'clock in the evening and has not rec
ognized his son and daughter, who re-
main at his bedside.
Miss Brown, the former senator's
daughter, is threatened with collapse
from the fatigue and excitement and
the hospital physicians are caring for
her.
Mrs. Bradley Almost collapses
Everything will come out all right"
said Mrs. Bradley before she was ad-
vised of Mr.. Browns sinking. Senator
Brown will recover and l will never be
placed on trial"
When told that her victim would
probably not live through the night she
almost collapsed. She refused to make
any statement.
A surprise was sprung in the case to-
day when it was learned that Mrs.
Bradley h;.I retained Attorney George
p. Hoover of this city to take charge of
her case. The law firm of Lackie, Full
ton & Cox were retained Sunday by
friends of Mrs. Bradley in Salt Lake
City.
Mrs. Bradley refused to give any rea-
son for making the change in counsel,
and the three lawyers employed by her
Utah friends still claim they are au-
thorized to represent her.
Mrs. Bradley has, however, directed
attorney Hoover to take complete
charge of the case. He conferred with
her for two hours today.

. SECOND
WAHIAWA
GROWING UP
A LITTLE COMMUNITY BEYOND
WAHIAWA WHICH WILL SOON
NEED RAILROAD.

The extension of the Oahu railroad
to Wahiawa is likely to be followed
before very long by further extension
to the lands of Pupukoa and Paumalu,
in the opinion of Governor Carter who
is watching with considerable interest
the growth there of second Wahiawa.
The lands are occupied by a colony Of
settlers who took them up a little over
a year ago, and there is every indica-
ton that they will rapidly develop a
thriving community just as the settlers
at Wahiawa have done.
Secretary Atkinson and Land Com
missioner Pratt took this mornings
train for the other side, intending to
visit the new colony on heir trip, as
well as other lands Which may be OPEN
ed before long The Paumalu colo "
consists of twenty settlers, who took
government lands opened in January,
1905. in lots averaging about a hun
dred acres each. With one exception,
the lots are all being cultivated and i'm
proved, and it is upon the progress
made that Carter bases his idea that
there will eventually be enough re-
suits to justify a railroad line there
just as Wahiawa has secured road
by offering business. SO far, the colony
is regarded as a great success.
One of the most industrious and sue
cessful of the settlers is a Hawaiian
Chinese citizen, whose tract of land
is in very fine state of cultivation The
one lot that is not being cultivated is
occupied by a white man, who is
thought to be holding on as a specu-
lator. He is living on the land, but
so far has not begun to join the others
in the planting of pineapples, etc.

FATAL ACCIDENT
ON kauai
A JAPANESE LONG EMPLOYED
BODY WAS BADLY MANGLED.

LIHUE, July Am accident occur
red in the Kealia Mill last Friday that
cost one of the employees his life.
Kahama, a Japanese who has been
with the Makee Sugar Co. for some
thing like thirteen years, was employ
ed in the MILL attending to the mix
er. His work necessitated his sitting
on a platform over the mixer This
platform was slippery from molasses
and sugar, and it is supposed that ris-
ing from his seat he has slipped and
plunged headlong into the revolving
machinery. The last seen of him was
when he gave the signal to start the
machinery. A couple of minutes af-
terward he was missed AID found III
the mixer.
The police was at once notified and
Deputy Sheriff Meheula had a coro-
ners Jury summoned. At the inquest
it was found that sthe ribs on the left
side had been crushed through the
lungs and that the head and body had
suffered a number of decorations, obvi-
ously from the revolving machinery.
The Jury rendered a verdict of acct
dental death
Kohama was one of the Oldest Jap
anese on the place and had always
been considered a careful and reliable
man. not subject to excitement, and
the death was therefore deemed to
have been entirely accidental without
any carelessness on the part of him
self or anybody else.

THE BANJO IN OGDEN
SPEAKS HIGHLY OF
HAS BAD EFFECT ON TONE.

The Royal Hawaiian Band appeared
in concert at the Grand last night. A
small audience greeted the island mu-
sicians, but their playing lacked moth
ing that tends to make a superb or
ganization of skilled players on brass
instruments. Under the direction of
Captain Berger the band has attained
a degree of excellence that places it
among the first of it's kind now play
ing before the public. 1t is patronized
by the Hawaiian government through
whose bounty and patriotism a trans
continental trip is being made to in
troduce native music and emonstrate
the abilities of native musicians.
Classical, popular and native airs
We're played. Brilliant selections from
Wagner's works We're executed with
mastery Interpretation. The phras-
ing of the band is excellent. Their
tempo and precision was well sustain
ed throughout the concert, climaXes
were interpretated with dramatic eff
feet, and although many instruments
compose the band, harmonious play
ing marked every selection.
Were it possible to hear the band
in the open, much better effects would
be secured. The opera house is too
small for so large a company and
sounds are resounded with a harsh
effect on the ear.
1t was the Hawaiian Glee Club, sing
ing native airs that introduced to the
audience something unique and new
in music. Miss Lei Lehua, a native
V1y
Her voice doesn't thrill one with its
dramatic power but the sweetness of
it and the simplicity Of manner which
characterized Miss Lei Lehua's sing
ing won a hearty response from her
listeners. With string instruments the
native players accompanied the sing
ing of native songs and in refrain the
entire glee club joins the soloist, John
s. Ellis sang a number Of native
songs. He has a sweet tenor voice
we'll adapted to portray the peculiar
music of the islands.
Hawaiian music is distinctive. II
resembles somewhat native music on
! American plantations. 1t is extreme
| " rythmic and melodious, From the
true expressions of sentiment among
the natives in song, devoid of techni-
cal construction, it has been developed
and clothed in the frame work of
classical music without loosing any OF
! its sweetness. Rich in harmony, full
/ of evanscent melodies airy and sug-
gestive of southern seas and balmy
nights, it proved a source of delight
to the audience.
The band plays at the Grand this
afternoon and tonight It is an oppor-
tunity we'll worth taking advantage
! of.-Examiner.
