Governor Gillett vetoed tonight
Grove Johnsons bill making the crime
of robbery In the nighttime or by
means of a dangerous weapon or other
means likely to produce great bodily
injury punishable by death The bill
was drawn by Charles Sonntag OF the
sitting San Francisco Grand Jury, and
was designed to fit the gaspipe thug
gerry that plunged San Francisco into
a reign of terror while Siemsen and
Dabner were at large. The Governor
bases his veto on the theory to make
this form of crime, punishable by death
would only serve to incite every high
wayman to kill his victim, and thus
remove the only witness of his crime,
and thereby add to the number OF muir
ders, rather than decrease them He
also vetoed the bill providing for an
increased levy to cover a proposed in
crease OF school teachers salaries.
The latter veto is based on the

sHORTRIDGE ON DEFENSIVE
Appellate Court WfthhoIds Action on
Attorney I'm Contempt


Peter r. Dunno. chief of the legal
staff OF the Southern Pacific, appeared
before Justices Cooper. Hall and Ker-
rigsn in the District Court of Appeal
yesterday and argued for the greater
part OF an hour to convince them that
Judge Dunno had erred in ordering
Samuel NJ. Shortridge, OF counsel for
Ruef to jail for contempt. Opposed to
Attorney Dunno was Hiram Johnson,
who is assisting Francis J. Heney in
the prosecution of the graft cases.
When Shortridge's attorney had com
pleted his argument Johnson replied at
length The proceedings occupied the
last two hours of the forenoon and the
court took the matter under advise
ment, and viii render its decision in
a day or two.
IT was argued on behalf OF Short
ridge that his action did not consti-
tute contempt The record was quoted
and it showed that Shortridge had per-
sisted in speaking after Judge Dunno
had repeatedly warned him to keep his
seat II was also said that no proof
had been offered that Ruef was a fu-
gitive at the time that Shortridge
sought to represent him In court.
Hiram Johnson contended that the
contempt was not so much in the re-
fusal of Shortridge to hold his silence
when so ordered, as in his persistent
attempts to appear as attorney for a
fugitive

UNIVERSITY BILL BEATEN
Grove johnson and Speaker Beardslee
Prevent $15O,0OO Appropriation

SACRAMENTO, March 11.-GrOve
Johnson, with the help, of Speaker
Beardslee. succeeded in killing the
Senate bill appropriating $150,000 for
an agricultural building on the grounds
of the University of California. Walsh
led the fight for the appropriation.
Johnson objected. He did not like the
way that the university was conduct
ed, and he criticised President Wheeler
for mixing in politics and forcing the
appointment of a Democratic Interstate
Commerce Commissioner.
When the rollcall ended the vote
stood SO ayes sSand 33 noes. A call of
the House was denied by a majority
of 1, and while Kohlman of San Fran
cisco was on his feet to start off
sufficient number of changes from no
to aye to carry the bill, Speaker
Beardslee brought down the gavel, an
nounced the vote closed and declared
ne bill lost.

GRAFTERs' BILL is BEATEN

SACRAMENTO, March 11-Senator
Wright's bill relating to the disquali-
fication of judicial officers was beaten
in the Assembly, receiving only thirty
votes, while the opposition rolled up
thirty-seven. This bill, like the one
by Grove Johnson that came to grief
in the Senate a few days ago, provided
that an affidavit of prejudice made it
compulsory for the Judge accused of
bias to call in another Judge to try the
case at issue.
~>~>~~~>~~~>~~~>>~-~~~
ground that another law enacted at
this session provided that all the State
school money and so per cent of the
county money shall be applied to the
payment of primary and grammar
school teachers, and the further ground
that the matter of teachers salaries
is a local question and should be con-
trolled by the counties, which can, IL
they choose, virtually double the
school levies now laid. He contends
that if the State raises an additional
100000 per annum, some of the coun-
ties will promptly take advantage of
it to decrease their school levies.
PRIMARY ELECTION LAW
The Assembly cleaned the primary
election slate today and went on record
for the submission of one clean-cut
constitutional amendment by refusing
to consider the Commonwealth Clubs
direct primary amendment, which the
Senate passed a personal compliment
to Senator Belshaw, its SPONSOR and
which Assemblyman Stetson, sponsor
for an attempt at direct primary
statute, had on his urgency file.
The Assembly's refusal to consider
the Commonwealth amendment was
engineered by Assemblyman Pyle who,
under an infrequently invoked rule,
proposed a protest from seven mem
bers. That more than twice seven
responded to his programme proved the
claim of Assemblyman Held that the
Assembly would not be party to an
attempt to confuse the voters and pos
sibly defeat the attempt to secure pop.
ular authorization of direct primary
legislation. The number of protestants
was more than sufficient to prevent
the measure securing the required 81
affirmative votes.

GANG WAS THERE

AT r. M. Ruef and all his lawyers,
accompanied by a few Of the gang, led
by the companion in flight. MYRTLE
Cerf. were in the courtroom in the
3ostoffice building. Frank j. Murphy
and Henry Ach spoke for Ruef and his
petition; Francis J. Heney opposed the
application.
Heney read an affidavit denying the
allegations Of Ruefs document; deny
ing that the boss was held without due
process OF law or was deprived OF his
tights. He recited the empanelment
~ Grand Juror Wallace G. Wise by
Judge Gfaham and reiterated his argu-
hent OF the morning that Ruef was in
custody but nonlinally and not in such
b way a. 20 entitle him to the. relief

Murphy opened the argument for the
peti.- lie undertook to defend
Judge Bebbard's action in granting the
writ Of error which Judge Dunno and
the Supreme Court Of the State had
already ruled was not sufficient to
restrain the former with proceeding
with Ruef's trial
x writ of error is q writ of right
and should be issued by Judge purely
As a ministerial act" said Murphy.
"A writ Of error is not q writ Of
fight" contradicted the court taking
The words out Of Murphy's mouth. but
is writ calling for the highest
discretion Of the Judge issuing it."
Murphy finished his talk and was
followed by Ach. In the midst OF the
dissertations Judge de Haven stated

MRS. KEHAUOHA
HUAU ABOUT PIG
TESTGFGES THAT INDULGENCE IN
PIG WITHOUT HER CAUSED SEP
ARATION FROM HUSBAND.

Mrs. Georke Kekauoha was the Wit
ness on the stand most Of yesterday
afternoon and this morning for the
defense in the Mormon case" Her
testimony is not very consistent with
that of other witnesses, and what it is
alleged she had previously told about
her trouble with her husband. She
admitted that she had left her hus-
band the defendant, for several
months early in the year, but denied
that she mad done so because Of her
knowledge of Illicit relations with the
woman Amia On the contrary she
told a story this morning as to the
cause of the rupture which caused
smile in most parts of the court room
She said that on last New Years eve
she had sent George out to buy a pig.
He went but did not return in due
time and when she went out to find
him, he was discovered eating pig
with others than his lawful wife. She
had beeNhuhu and went to her par
ents home to live, and afterwards
had come to Honolulu where she re-
manned until April.
The defense is attempting to estab
fish an alibi at present, though mas.
much as the admission Of the defend.
ant Of his guilt at the Mormon church
meeting, has been admitted as evi.
dence, and was testified to by a num-
Der Of witnesses it would seem difficult
for other evidence to do much good.
1t is said, however, that the defense
has a large number of witnesses to
MT on the stand and it is predicted
that the case will not get to the jury
before the end of the week.
United States Marshal Hendry ar
rived home last evening from a trip
to the other side of the island Were
he went to summon a bunch of wit
nesses in the Kekauoha adultery case.
All Of the witnesses brought over are
from the nelghborhood of Laie. Mar
shall Hendry states that there is
great deal of interest in that district

HARBORING
The FLEET
MAY SCATTER HERE. SAYS CAP
TAIN MERRYWEATHER, BUT
WILL NEVER RETURN IN FLEET.

This will be the busiest and the
most important harbor in the Pacific,
for the time being, when the Atlantic
fleet gets here said Captain Merry
weather of the U. S. Navy collier JUS
tin this morning.
The captain was on the quarterback
and there were several Honolulu men,
official and otherwise, with him hold
ing converse.
do you think, Captain, that the
entire battleship fleet will come here
at once, or that the big boats will call
here in squadrons?' asked one.
THAT, of course, is difficult to say,
replied Merryweather, but it would
appear to me that for the sake of evo-
lutions the entire fleet would come 10
Honolulu Some might remain here
while others go to the Philippines
That is to say, after arriving at Ho-
nolulu the feet might break up, differ
ent squadrons no doubt eventually be-
ing stationed in various sections
do not think that the fleet will ever
return to the Atlantic as a fleet"
An official present was interested in
the disposition of the vessels of the
big feet upon arrival here and ex-
pressed it as his opinion that probably
a dozen would enter the harbor while
the others remained outside until they
had a chance at accommodations, the
dozen entering port being disposed Of
as follows: Four at the Navay whar'
yes; two at the Alakea street wharf
one at the Channel wharf and five II

PROGRAM
WHILE IN ENGLAND

The German Kaiser, who arrived in
England yesterday, according to ca
bles received, is to have fine enter
tainment there, judging by the follow
ing account of the program arranged
for him:
LONDON, Oct. 1S.-The visit of En-
peror William to England next month
is fraught with the greatest interest,
both personal and political. For years
there has been a barrier of prejudice
between the two countries, but this
has been considerably lowered by the
diplomacy of King Edward and his
ministers. 1t is hoped that the barrier
will entirely disappear as a result of
the coming visit of the emperor
Upon their arrival the emperor and
empress will proceed at once to Wind
sor. where they will stay during the
whole of their sojourn, except for a
state visit to London, where they will
be officially Welcomed by the Lord
mayor 1t is expected that the break
