The Garrett boys were also set free,
as there was nothing TO prove their

The blackened ruins of the barn
were for many years visited by relic
hunters and pieces OF the posts were
carried of.
The body of Booth was carried to
Washington. It was accepted by the
government as the remains of John
Wilkes Booth, and the reward was paid
TO the captors.
All sorts of stories were told among
the people as 10 the disposal Of the
body.
Some said that it had been sunk into
the Potomac river. Others said that it
had been burned or mutiliated The
fact Is ii was buried in the Arsenal
grounds in Washington. Years after,
when bitter feelings had subsidized. the
friends and relatives of Booth secur-
ed the body and quietly laid it away
in Baltimore. II was but natural
that it should have been done quietly,
as there could have been no sympa-
thy for the assassin; and it is possible
that no published order for the remains
was given by the government, bat it
simply was Indifferent to their dis
posal.
Thus ended q dastardly act, which
brought untold evil Upon the south,
whose people never lave ~cOuntenanced
assassination, and who were kindly
disposed in feeling towards Mr.. Lin
coin.
The act can be accounted for only
as the emanation of d diseased mind.
| remember reading many years ago
a long article in the La Crosse Dem
Ocrat, edited by Don Piatt of nation
al fame, pretending to give reasons
for Booths freak. Many innocent per-
sons suffered. The execution of poor
harmless Mrs. Suratt will always stand
as an example of what a frenZied peO-
pie may do, at times, in the name Of
justice
I have heard that every judge who
sat upon her trial came to some I'M
timely or miserable end. Her SOL,
John Suratt, realizing his danger.
though innocent, fled the country; but
was afterwards captured in the Egyp-
tian army. He was released, and is
now spending a quiet life in Baltimore
surrounded by friends and a devoted
family.
A large majority Ct all who were
connected with these events are now
dead and gone and It is for that rea-
son that l have written what I saw

FORMER GOV. OF HAWAII SAYS
JAPAN'S NOT AFRAID.
FIGHT At DROP OF HAT
"Unele Sam Would Know II Was More
Than a SlghI Tickling at the
Ribs Before H. Got Through
With the Trouble"
by Associated Press.

by Associated Press.
New York, July Japan would
fgh' the United States at the drop
Of the hat should the occasion arise,
and you can take it from me that
Uncle Sam would know it was more
than a slight tickling at the ribs be-
fore he got through with the trouble
This statement was made by Gov
ernor c. W. Carter of Hawaii, 10
reporter at the Holland House today,
Shortly after his arrival.
Governor Carter had been asked
particularly about the japanese situ-
alton insofar as it was felt in the
Hawaiian islands. He responded by
saying that he did not consider that
they had any japanese situation over
in the groip where he had presided
for the last three years.
FIFTY per cent OF the population
Of the Hawaiian group is japanese,
said he. and We have so far, never
/ had the slightest trouble with them.
They are treated by the residents the
same as other people. and that's prac.
| tically all there Is to IT, Many of the
japanese have intermarried with the
/ Hawaiians and have families. They
make good citizens, are unobstrusive
and never bother anybody who does
not bother them. They never seek
trouble, but they never cease to de-
/ fend themselves in case of trouble.
"On the Pacific Coast of the uni-
ted States the situation is entirely dit
ferent and has grown to serious pro
portions. There the people Just ma
mrally hate a japanese as they do a
Chinaman."
DO you mean that the japanese
are attacked just because of their
race?"
Il surely do. ] was in San Fran
cisco not long ago when | saw Jap
anese walking along the street not
bothcring anybody. Suddenly the
driver of a wagon attacked him with
big stick. The japanese then, tc
defend himself, jumped in and took
the stick away from the driver and
rubbed the mans sead in the sand
when questioned about the cause ol
the trouble the japanese said: That
man hit me me no bother him" And
that was the truth for saw It. This
is but one example of many"
"Do you think that in case Of the
trouble with the Japanese becoming
