ploodbonnds to Trail Criminals.

AS a result of the agitation among
the people of Moorestown and other
parts of Burlington County the Board
of Freeholders decided to purchase two
b~loodhounds to be used in the appre.
hension Of criminals. The dogs will be
kept at the county Jail. This action is
the outcome of the recent murder of
Miss Atkinson, in which case the off
Gals believed such hounds would have
been of great value in the quicker ap.
prehension of her two negro slayers.

NEW JERSEY STATE NEWS
Huntsmen Please Jersey Farmers

HuntSlnen Please Jersey
A treaty of peace has been made be-
tween the farmers of Union, LIiddleseX
and Somerset counties and the Wat
chung Hunt Club, of Plainfield, the lat
ter having invited the grangers to take
part in all chases conducted weekly by
the red coated horsemen and horse
women of New Jersey. Threatened
suits for trespass are no more talked
of by the farmers, who had banded to-
gether to stop the runs of the club over
their lands. Nearly every agriculturist
in the central part of New Jersey has
accepted the invitation to join in the
wild chase after the swift anise bag.
Moreover, the farmers will have the
free use of the high bred stallion Nj
trate, which has won many ribbons i'll
steeplechases conducted by well-known
jockey clubs. The stallion was bred
by August Belmont, and is partly con-
trolled by the club. This liberality, Dr..
NJ. O'Malley Knott, master of hounds,
explains, is for the purpose of lettering
the breed of horses in that section. In
addition to these privileges the club
has notified all farmers that their
fences will be kept in good repair the
year round, no matter whether any
damage is caused by the members OF
not. Announcement was also made
that the grangers will be invited to
the annual dinner of the club. to be
held at the Casino in the fall.

KOREANS To
Be HANGED
Five at Hilo Are Found
Guilty of Murder in
First Degree.

Yesterday Attorney General Peters
uty Milverton. al HiIo, informing thai
| six of the Koreans accused of. beating
another Korean to death had been con-
victed of murder in the first degree
and the seventh, Han Sang Won, ha6
been found guilty of murder in the
second degree. The five who will be
hanged are Shin Ming Ok, Kank Yong
Box, Wo Ming Sock, Chang Phee Yuel
and Kin Yong zee.
The defendants in this case were
employed on Kukaiau plantation and
belong to the first Importation of la
borers from the Hermit Kingdom. The
murdered man was one of their own
kind and was suspected of having
robbed one CT the defendants of $780,
He was accused of the theft and
threatened and to avoid trouble he
made a dash for the cane. The men
were seen running by County Super
visor Fernandez, who was informed by
a police officer standing near, that the
crowd was chasing another Korean
with the intention of whipping him.
When they caught him they began
treating him after the most approved
methods of the Spanish inquisition,
slashing him with knives and then rub
bling salt into the wounds. When the
supply of salt was exhausted they
tried soyo with good results. In order
to brace the man for further punish
ment they would administer an occa-
sional glass of wine. Afterwards they
put rope around his neck and drew
him up until his toes barely touched
the ground When he was lowered he
confessed the theft and added that lie
had lost the money gambling.
So far as his personal feelings went
he might as well have kept his secret,
for the men began to chaStiSe him and
did not stop until he was dead. Then
they promptly walked to Honokaa and
to the deputy sheriff, who
placed them under arrest and moved
them to Hilo. After being placed in
jail several of them developed beri beri
and one was sent to the hospital. They
went to the courthouse on clutches and
on canes, according to the condition of
the men,
They were without funds and Carl
Smith was appointed by the court to
defend them. The case was called on
Friday, and the convictions secured
3rgeiy through confessions made by
all the accused to Chester A Doyle.

JURY OUT.
Trial of Accused Kauai
Supervisor Is at
an End

IiHUE, Kauai, March 24.-The dull
monotony of the Kanealii forgery case
now on trial in the Fifth Circuit Court
was relieved somewhat on Friday of
this week by the introduction, by the
prosecution, of Mr.. l.. C. Ables of
Honolulu as an expert witness on hand
writing.
The indictment charged D. Kanealii
with the forging of certain names upon
a document purporting to be from the
electors of Hanalei district to the de-
PENDANT requesting him to be candi-
date for the office of county supervisor
in that district, and nominating him as
such candidate at the June election,
1905, which said document was fled in
the Office of the Secretary OF the Ter
ritory.
A number of persons whose names
appear on the document have testified
at the trial that the signatures were
forgeries, and that the handwriting
was similar to that of the defendant
ana Mr. ADleS was called to Llhue TO
testify as an expert on handwriting.
The defense questioned his qualifi-
cations as an expert in chirography, but
after examination by the court he was
admitted to testify; with the aid of a
powerful magnifying glass he was able
to show number of letters and ear
marks in the forged document which
were characteristic of the handwriting
of the defendant as shown in letters
written by him, and which had been in
troduced in evidence in the case.
Nearly twenty witnesses have been
examined and considerable interest
shown by the general public.
The case was given to the jury at
$40 O'Clock this afternoon and when
the steamer w. G. Hall left at p. m,
had not arrived at a verdict

When the plea in abatement had

His chief contention was that the
bill fails to charge the means by
which it was sought to delraud the
government of its public lands. Mr..
Woodrough maintained that the
charge of false, fictitious and fraudu'

conspiracy, and therefore Toes nor

When President Roosevelt reached
pier No. II, where there was an en-.
thusiastic gathering of at least 800
persons. principally canal employees at
Cristobal and other points along the
line. Here the president assembled
the bandstand and made a thirty-min.
ute speech. In giving his impressions
OF the work on the canal, he said he
was pleased with what had already
been done and paid his respects to
those who had criticised the work.
How about Poultney Bigelow?"
came from among the auditors.
With much elaboration the presi.
dent remarked that in every large
work there was always some n to
find something that was done as it
should not have been, but the en-
ployes should on no account pay at
tention to such criticisms, as the crit
les would sink odt of sight. while the
work the men were doing and had
done will remain long after all critl-
cism had been forgotten. President
Roosevelt said also he was so inn
pressed with the magnitude and great
ness of this work that he would like
to see II of his sons engaged therein,
He congratulated all the heads of de.
partments on the work being done,
and with especial warmth he %congrat-
ulated Captain George r. Stanton on
his success in maintaining order in
the canal o n and in perfecting the
splendid police force under his con-
troll. In conclusion, the president said
he would like to remain longer on the
isthmus, but that it was necessary Tor
him to get back to his work in the
