4 MURDER
EXPIATED
Another Execution in
the Oahu Prison
Yard.

the community and to the law, wa:
duly and decorously executed at Oahu
Prison yesterday morning for murder
William Henry, High Sheriff of the
Territory, superintendent the execution
His most painful duty. personally, was
the reading of the death warrant to
the condemned man before the latter
was brought out to the scaffold.
Kealakai an experienced prison
guard who had officiated on many pre-
vious occasions of the same kind and
never Numbered, attended to the last
mechanical details. Johnsons passage
from consciousness must have been
instantaneous, for there as not a mus
cular tremor noticed after the drop,
and only the short period of twelve
and a half minutes elapsed before DR..
w. L. Moore, the prison physician, de-
clared him dead. In the official exam
nation of the suspended body DR..
Moore was assisted by DIR. Rorkenbach
of the German training ship Herzogin
Sophie Charlotte. Drs. Hoffman,, Oya-
ma and Nimura We're also present
Statements We're voluntarily made
by Johnson in his last days and hours
of a nature calculated to still any mis-
givings on the part of the jury that
convicted him regarding the business of
his fate under the law. A few days
ago he sent for Mrs. Kentweu, whose
family once employed him, and at first
denied to her that he was guilty but
he soon broke down, weeping, and told
her that he killed the Wharton child
and that his doom was just. He gave
his watch and other small belongings
to Mrs. Kentwell.
Johnson slept we'll on Wednesday
night until 2 o'clock in the morning,
when he awoke and called for his pipe
and did not go to sleep again. At five
o'clock he asked for whisky, a drink
Of which was given to him. He ate
a light breakfast at o'clock After
he awoke he talked for some time with
High Sheriff Henry. He told him that
his true name was John O'Connell and
that he had a married sister and three
brothers in Ireland. He had shipped

of his age. The High Sheriff placed his
years as at least forty.
\ few minutes before eight O'Clock
Father Clement spent few minutes
with the condemned man. High Sher-
| if Henry had compared his watch with
other timepieces. a distant clock was
heard from the prison office striking
eight and a moment later the High
Sheriff called upon the press represen-
tatives to attend his party at John
sons cell. Then there was a loud
clangor from the prison bell as the
company descended the steps to the
basement corridor
Johnson leaned his weight upon his
frame with that hand, while the High
Sheriff in voice tremulous with emo
ton read the death warrant to him.
Dressed in a new black suit over a
highly polished shoes, Johnson held
print calico handkerchief in his right
hand. His features had become con-
siderabiy bleached since his trial and
tragic, as if he fully realized that his
last moments of earthly existence had
arrived. AS the reading came to the
command that the High Sheriff laying
sentence between the hours of 8 a. m.
and D. m. ON May 81, Johnson glanced
appealingly upward as if in mute
prayer.
Immediately the reading was con-
cluded High Sheriff Henry threw open
the door of the cell and officers enter |
ed and pinioned Johnson's arms with |
straps. Then he was conducted at a |
sloping gangway to the scaffold out |
side. He walked firmly without sup |
port. Arrived upon the scaffoId his |
legs were strapped together and Father
Clement repeated three sentences of a |
prayer. to which Johnson strongly nod |
ded assent at each pause. Then the
black cap and the moose We're quickly |
adjusted, and at about seven minutes
after eight o'clock the trap was sprung.
The crime for which Johnson was
executed was the killing of Simeon
the seven-year old son of
Mr.. and Mrs Henry Wharton, at Wal
alua on January 3 last. He shockingly !,
mutilated the body of the little victim
and buried it at the edge of a cane
field. On his trial before Judge Robin
son his counsel assigned by court, T.
NJ Harrison. produced the defense of
insanity but it was not accepted by the
Jury. Much horror having been caused !
by the peculiar atrocity of the murder

prosecution, both Attorney General

Captain Lawless of the steamer Ma
rlposa brings news from Tahiti that
Lovina Chapman has been presented
by the French Government with a
suitably inscribed medal in recognition
of her heraism in saving, the life of
Mrs. Williams in the harbor of Papeete
during the hurricane and tidal wave
Lovina Chapman is the daughter of
Captain Ben Chapman, who for years
was prominent figure in Tahiti and
as long ago as 1860 was in command
of a brig plying from San Francisco
to Tahiti
In the height of the hurricane Miss
Chapman, who is an expert and fear
less swimmer, plunged into the break
ers and succeeded in saving Mrs. Viii
liams, who had fallen into the bay.
Surrounded by wreckage and in the
greatest peril, Miss Chapman kept
nearly an hour before being picked up.
Her sliced was one of the most remark
able during the hurricane. Her popu-
larity, which was widespread before,
was enhanced by her courageous act,
and she is generally regarded in the
South Seas as a heroine.

Royal Teetotalers.

The practice of abstaining altogether from
alcohol has widely pervaded the highest cir
cles Of society. Queen Victoria of Spain
does not know the taste Of alcohol. Her
special 'tipple'' Is made from oranges-the
fresh fruit squeezed into a glass, which is
filled up with aerated waters. Oranges are
her favor1te fruit, and at Cowes she was
accustomed to eat them freely. For years
Princess Henry Of Battenberg was a tee
totaler, but of late she has suffered so much
from rheumatism that she has been ordered
a little whisky, which she regards as
penance.
Both Princess Christians daughters too.
are teetotalers.
The Princess of Wales, who Is an exceed
tngly considerable mistress, once dismissed
and under nurse on the spot. because con-
trary to instructions she had given Prince
Edward, when he was five, sip of the wine
allowed her for lunch. All the children of
the prince and princess are being brought
up strict teetotalers and save for the one
taste of wine Prince Edward had from his
nurse. they know nothing of alcohol Prin-
cess Patricia of Connaught and her married
sister also abjure wine. says Home Chat. An
other royal teetotaler Is the Duchess of
Argyll, and the two young daughters of
the Princess Royal. their highnesses Alex
andra and Maud. have never in their lives
touched wine.

MAY NOT LESSEN ENTENTE
Yokohama Editor Thinks Japanese
Regard Frisco Exclusion az Local

SAN FRANCISCO, November 27-Artbur
May Knapp. editor OF the Daily Advertiser
OF Yokohama, arrived on the Siberia from
the orient yesterday.
Asked about the impression created in
Japan by the Japanese school exclusion in
San Francisco. he said he did not think n
had or would ultimately lessen the cor
diality of the entente existing between
Japan and the United States
1.-The matter has attracted much atten-
ton and been discussed extensively In the
yernacular press of Japan" he said, but
the impression at Toxic when 1 left was
that 1t was purely local matter, and was
confined to San Francisco. No one believes
that the United States wishes to discrim-
mate against Japanese.
Foreigners in Japan believe that the
Japanese will attempt to divert Transporter
ton from San Francisco to tie other coast
ports. NO other form of boycott is be-
ueved to be contemplated. The foreigners,
l might add, are unable to understand the
attitude Of San Francisco in the matter.
From purely trade viewpoint they think
San Francisco is making mistake"
Knapp said the Manchurian question was
overshadowed by the constantly growing
importance of the Korean problem. and
that the latter was the g thing in Japan
at the present time.

PHILIPPINES IN GOOD SHAPE.
Director Barrows Says the Govern
ment is in Competent Hands.

SAN FRANCISCO. November 27-Dr D.
p Barrows, director of education of the
Philippines. was passenger on the steamer
Siberia, arriving from the orient yesterday.
In speaking of the conditions Of the islands
DIR. Barrows said:
"The islands are in a good condition. gen.
orally speaking. The political situation
there at the present time is the best 1t has
ever been. The provincial government is in
good hands. There are about forty native
governors for as many different provinces
They are serious and intelligent men, and
at the recent conference held in Manila they
showed themselves to understand the sit
uation in the islands and to fully appreciate
the attitude Of the United States. While
all these governors but one are natives, they
all speak and understand English.
from an economic standpoint, however
the islands are not in what 1 would call a
good condition. This is occasioned by the
fact that there Is no market for their sugar
and tobacco. These. Of course, are their
principal staples. They. however, have a
good market for copra and abaka and from
these they gain their main revenue"

HEALTH ON ISTHMUS
SHOWING FOR,
AMERICAN POPULATION.

Col. W. c. Gorgas, chief sanitary officer
on the Panama canal zone. in a report to
the canal commission notes q decided de-
cline In the death rate on the zone, which,
he says. Is almost entirely due to the de-
crease In pneumonia. There were AZ deaths
In July, $50 In September and 800 In Octo-
Der.
'Of our 5000 Americans, including wom-
en- and children" says Col. Gorgas. none
died from disease. 1t Ia rather a remarka-
bic fact that among these 5000 Americans
death from disease has not occurred In
the past three montha Take 5000 people
In New York city selected at random, and
estimating their death rate on what oc-
CURED in New York city last year. they
would have had about 80 deaths from dis
ease. or course, this Is more or less acci-
dental, but think 1t pretty good proof that
the conditions are not so unfavorable to
Americans. when II Is possible for a body
OF 5000 people, including some 1,2OO women
and children. to spend three months with
out single death from disease. do not
by any means mean to argue that because
the death rate in New York city Is about 10
per thousand a man can live only fifty
years In New York city, and because
the death rate for the same class OF people
on the canal for three months was none
per thousand. that, therefore IL that same
man moved to the isthmus ne would live
forever. do not argue that in the Rio
Grande reservoir we have found Ponce de
Leons spring of perpetual life, but merely
that Panama is not so bad a place from a
health point Of view as Is generally be-
lieved"
