Acting Governor Atkinson is receiv-
ing a lot of petitions and counter petit
tions on the subject of the Rapid Tran
sit Company's proposed change of
schedule. Present indications are that
the fifteen minute schedule for Liliha,
Kaimuki and Beretania alike, will go
through, but there are numerous rival
interests trying to carry the day for
other schedules. The residents affected
by making Liliha streets line, now a
ten-minute line, a fifteen-minute one,
are kicking.
Il wish the various parties interested
would get together and show what is
the best policy to pursue" said Acting
Governor Atkinson. "The re appears to
be many ideas on the subject, and
have listened to numerous arguments.

The Rev ]. w Wadman, accom-

called on Acting Governor Atkinson
this morning to arrange for a hearing
in the interests of the five Koreans
who are in oahu Jail under sentence
of death. The japanese consul here
is also representative Of the Korean
government, or what is left of it, and
the Rev Wadman is very closely iden-

japanese and Koreans throughout the
islands.
The acting governor agreed to have
a meeting with the Rev. Wadman and
discuss the matter. The consul did
not make any suggestions in the mat

been received here yet and there has
been little investigation beyond that

A copy of the following letter, which

Johnson trial, in cross examination Of
Frank Copeland, "A negro witness for

this afternoon by Attorney Harrison

of Copeland, to whom Harrison wrote
the letter:

FENSE ADMITS BEING OFFERED

The Johnson trial continued this
morning with an utter failure by the
defense to furnish any important tes-
timony on the subject OF the claimed
insanity of the defendant. Several
Portuguese witnesses were called, but
1t seemed that they might have been
good witnesses for the prosecution. They
had seen the defendant Johnson at va
rious times, but had not noticed any
thing unusual about him. Frank
Copeland, a negro, the last witness call
ed, was excused at the noon recess just
as cross examination was bringing out
testimony that he had been offered
money to get witnesses for the defense.
The first two Portuguese witnesses
did not know anything except that
they had not observed anything un-
usual about Johnson when they had
seen him. The jury got considerable
amusement from Manuel CoelhO, who
said he met Johnson going to work and
returning and that Johnson always
laughed when greeting him. Coelho
appeared to be an intelligent witness
enough but he sported a horizontal, cir
cular shoebrush arrangement of whis-
kers and maintained smile which
seemed to impress the jury as he in

MRS. oELRIcHs IN DOUBT
Does Not Know whether She Will
Contest VIII of Her
Husband.


NEW YORK. Sept. 12-Mrs. Herman oel-
richs, widow and administrator of the Fair
estates, is undecided whether to contest
her husbands WILL according to a state
ment made by James Gerard, Mrs. Oel-
richs' attorney, today. Mr.. Gerard said:
Mrs. Oelrichs will make no move until
investigation has shown her whether the
estate he left was Oelrichs' family money
or accumulations he received as compen-
sation or gifts from his wife and her Sis
ter, Mrs. Vanderbilt. AS administrator Of
the estate of Charles l.. Fair and In the
management of the estate of the late SEN
ator Fair 1t is possible that Mr.. Oelrichs
accumulated a considerable estate. II the
larger part of his accumulations did come
from the two Fair estates, then Mrs. Oel-
richs is determined that her son shall be n
beneficiary and she will start contest to
break the will either In her own name
or as guardian of her boy.
IF the estate as willed has not been
derived from Fair moneys, but is Oelrichs'
family accumulations, properly speaking,
Mrs. Oelrichs will not contest either for
her dover right. community rights under
California laws or as guardian of her son"
Mr.. Gerard said that Mrs. Oelrichs' trip
to the coast was not made to file Will
ante-dating the one filed here last week.
Mrs Oelrichs went to San Francisco to
be appointed Administrative of the estate
of her brother, Charles l.. Fair" said Mr..
Gerard. THE office of administrator be-
came vacant upon the death of her hus~
band. There is still some hundreds of
thousands of dollars in Charles F. Fairs
estate undivided between his heirs, Mrs.
Oelrichs and Mrs. w. X. Vanderbilt"

RUN ON BANK CONTINUES
Frightened Depositors stin with
drawing savings from Hibernia
of san Francisco.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 12.--The uneasi-
ness among the more timid depositors of
the Hibernia Savings bank continued today
and when the bank opened its doors for
business there was a long line of people
waiting to withdraw their deposits. AS on
yesterday the bank waived the required
notice of thirty days and paid all orders
on demand. The line was handled ex-
peditiously. but newcomers swelled the list
of applicants and at one time it was esti-
mated that there were fully 1900 people
anxious to withdraw their funds from the
vaults. The bank had seemingly plenty
of funds on hand to pay in full many times
the amount represented by the lined-up de-
positors.
The cause of the run is still obscure One
theory that finds favor is that the uneasi-
ness has been created by dsgruntled
agents of an insurance company which had
been broadly advertised by attorneys of
the bank for repudIaung just claims for
losses.
Commissioner E. Bunsmor of the board of
state bank commissioners this Afternoon
after the board had concluded its exam
ination of the affairs of the Hibernia bank,
said, making the statement on behalf of
the board.
The condition of the Hibernia bank is
absolutely sound, and the management has
been careful and conservative. The loans
In this city have been made on the basis of
90 per cent or less and. are covered by
safe margin. Four-fifths of these mort
cages are now due and may be considered
in the nature of call 9oans which may be
collected at any timed The assets of the
bank include $l3,O0O,OO0 OF United States
bonds, $10C00,O0O of other high class securi-
ties and IS, 100000 recovered from insur-
ance. These items alone are sufficient 10
cover fully all losses resulting from the
recent fire. Any alarm entertained by de-
positors as to the safety of the bank are
as absolutely unwarranted as unreasonable.
The line of depositors outside the bank
was diminishing this afternoon. The furry
at the Hibernia did not affect any other
savings bank or commercial bank.

FAIRBANKS AT STATE FAIR
Vice President of United states De-
Hvcrs ah Address In New
Hampshire.

CONCORD, N. H., Sept. 12.--Vice Presi-
dent Fairbanks today attended the state
fair here and delivered the principal ad-
dress.
Vice President Fairbanks spoke in part
as follows:
We live p an era Of progress, proud of
many rapid and marked changes in our
social and industrial life.
AS we contemplate our foreign commerce
we are amazed and humiliated to observe
with foreign countries is carried on under
the protection of alien flags. Less than 10
per cent of 1t is carried in our own vessels.
This certainly is out OF harmony with the
spirit of American expansion. There is no
good reason why we should not have a
merchant marine worthy of the world S
respect. AS it stands today, II Is so in
significant as to be an object of contempt
and derision among the great commerce
carrying powers. The subject is one of
vast magnitude ana 1t will continue to re-
ceive tho considerations of American states
men. capital and labor, genius and enter
prise, until we have attained our rightful
commerce into all the.y2esrs OF the earth.
We look upon our growing domestic trade
with profound satisfaction and upon our
expanding trade with foreign nations with
genuine satisfaction.
The rapid increase of our population and
the growing demand for our food products
at home and abroad make II necessary that
we should give more consideration to the
development to our agriculture than we
have heretofore given.
Our trade statistics have reached a mag
nitude which is almost bewildering. They
tell OF progress in every branch OF domes-
tic economy in every state and territory
of the union. There is apparently no cloud
in our industrial sky. no menace at home
or abroad to our national tranquility.
The absence of present peril should not
close our eyes to the fact, sanctioned by
past experience, that perils will be found
n our future pathway, and there will no
doubt be many which will tax to the ut
most degree our wisdom. our patience and
