ing me to be present at the Office of
Admiral Very at p. m. tomorrow, has
been received, and regret my inabil-
ity to attend the meeting. l consider
the opening and development of Pearl
HarbOr, and the building there of a
naval station and other works, of very
great Importance not only to the COM
mercial interests of Honolulu, but also
to the plantations and farming inter-
ests of the whole island Of Oahu and
indirectly to all the Territory OF Ha-
wall l would advocate that Pearl
Harbor developments be commenced at
as early date as possible, so that
these advantages may come soon.
In this connection, would mention
that if the west side of the Harbor
could be dredged so that it could be
made available for freight steamers by
having several of the projections un-
der water removed sugar and other ma
terials could be shipped direct to the
Coast so that quite a saving would be
made by way of Honolulu charges as
paid at present time.
Again expressing my regrets of not
being able to attend the meeting, l
remain
Yours sincerely,

Hon. E. A. Mott-Smith, Secretary OF
Hawaii, Honolulu, T. H.
Dear Sir!-I now own receipt Of your
invitation to attend a meeting at Ad-
miral Very's Office, on Friday, August
23rd, at 2 O'Clock p M, for the pur-
pose of discussing the commercial ad-
vantages to be gained from the open
ing and developing of Pearl Harbor
and the building there of Naval Sta
ton and other Federal works.
This is a question of great import
ance and the advantages which would
ensue from commercial point of view,
from the opening of this harbor, are
very great, in my opinion, and should
like very much to be able to attend
this meeting, but it will be impossible
for me to do so, as | have already
made arrangements to be out of town
on that day.
The opening of Pearl Harbor would
unquestionably result in the saving OF
a great many thousands of dollars a
year to the sugar plantations located
therein, and if l can do anything to
hasten the accomplishment of this
much to be desired result, I will be
glad to assist in any way in my power.
Very truly yours,
e. d. TENNEY.

When person has been really helped
in getting rid OF some chronic maladv
after other things have failed, 1t is quite
natural for enthusiasm to lead people
to make a statement of the fact.
For great services, gratitude is nat.

This is the only way that it can posi-.

LETTER TO TRELFORD

June 2Sth, 1907.
Arthur Trelford, Superintendent of
the Penitentiary, Santa Fe, N. M:
Sir-The very extraordinary COM
munication of your attorney, R. H.
Hanna, under date of the 26th instant,
has been received. | shall refrain
from comment upon his unwarranted
structures directed against the high
est legal officer of the Territory, al
though these structures are occasion
ally untruthful, frequently impudent,
generally discourteous and always un-
professional. I had, and have, every
confidence in the ability of the attor-
ney general to conduct the inquiry
into your management of the peniten-
tiary and in the fairness and imparti-
ality of his intent; wherefore | do not
propose to try the case over his head,
behind his back, or through the news
papers, as appears to have been the
desire and method of procedure adopt
ed by your attorney from the incep-
tion Of the proceedings.
Your attorneys complaint that
"such evidence as we have brought
out on cross examination up to the
present time has BEEN ruthlessly
stricken out at the pleasure and die
tation of the attorney general" Is

trusted and tried official who enjoys
the highest esteem and respect Of the
citizens of his county and of all those

by character to fill the important posi-

with honor to the commonwealth with
satisfaction to the people and with
credit to the appointing power and
himself.
Special attention is called to the
very clear, concise, but stern and
straightforward letter of Acting Gov
ernor Reynolds to Superintendent
Trelford setting forth the why's and
wherefores of the Acting Governors

Arthur Trelford was removed today
as superintendent of the Territorial
penitentiary upon charges of cruelty
and barbarity to convicts clearly and
unequivocally established. Sheriff
Marion Littrell, of Colfax County,
was Immediately thereafter appointed
to succeed the deposed official. This
was the action taken by Acting Gov
ernor J. w. Reynolds following the
prison investigation.
Bluster and bravado on the part OF
the defense did not work. Personal
abuse, false charges and threats had
no influence. Fake special dispatch
es, lies and slanders in yellow sheets
were of no avail. A fair and thor
ough investigation was made by At
torney General George w. Prichard
into the charges of brutality and bar
barity in the conduct of the prison;
this was conducted openly and due
notice and all possible chance for de-
tense were given to Superintendent
Arthur Trelford, the official affected.
This investigation was ordered by
Acting Governor ]. W. Reynolds with
whom the charges were filed. After
the evidence which was ample and
fully sustained the charges was ad-
duced and closed the defendant eitn-
er did not wish to, or did not care to,
or was afraid to furnish evidence in
his favor. Mr. Trelford's attorney en-
deavored to do some brow-beating,
tried to quarrel and otherwise acted
very unseemly and used improper
tactics. Threats were plentiful,
Washington would be appealed to, and
dire action and punishment were
threatened
However, the attorney generals re.
port was submitted this afternoon to
Acting Governor Reynolds who gave
the report and the testimony careful
consideration and acted with his
usual promptitude and nerve in mat

SHERIFF MARION LTTRELL Of C0LFAX
COUNTY SUCCEEDS TRELF0RO, REMOVED

, shown by the record itself to be not
only groundless, but unqualifledly
false. Witness the testimony OF ]. l..
Clark who answered seventy-nine
questions put by the Territory and
three hundred and twenty questions
put by your attorney on cross exami-
nation, none of which answers were
stricken from the record.
You were offered by the attorney
general, and assured by me, that you
| would be given every reasonable op-
portunity to present your defense II
you had any, and your attorneys re.
ply to me in this connection was to
the effect that you had little to pre-
sent except negative evidence. Inas.
much as you deliberately, and OF
your own option, declined to present
your evidence through the proper
channel, the case was closed and the
report of the attorney general made
and submitted to me- This report
shows state of affairs which indicate
plainly and clearly that you are not
the proper person to have charge of
the penitentiary management.
Aside from all of this, however,
stands your admission once at some
length in private conversation with
me, and once later, more briefly, in
the presence of your attorney, that
when convict Mears (or Myers) ap-
piled to you an abusive epithet and
kicked you on the leg (being shod
then, I presume, in the customary
felt slippers, worn by convicts when
confined in the dark celD you "of
course lost your temper and struck
the convict across the mouth, al.
though Mears was then, and had been
for days past, trussed up by handouts
suspended from chain fastened to
the wall above his head. You would
hardly defend this action on the
ground that you were in danger of
physical violence from convict thus
chained, especially when an employe
of the prison was at hand to protect
your person, in fact, your own words
indicate that your sole reason for
striking the man was desire for per-
sonal revenge. A man who cannot
control his own temper, cannot expect
to control other men, especially the
inmates of prison, and the assump-
ticn. apparently natural to you, that
an insult by 4 convict must be re-
venged by summary personal physical
violence on the part of the person in
suited, indicates clearly that you have
not grasped one of the first essentials
that are required of a successful
prison warden, that is to say, an
ability to control your own temper
and actions under any and all circum-
stances, when dealing with the in
mates of an institution under your
charge.
The reasons cited appear to me
sufficient to show that the good Of
the Territorial penitentiary demands
, change in the management, and an
executive order has been issued re-
moving you from the position of SUI
perintendent, said removal to take ef-
feet upon the appointment and quail.

STORY WITH A MORAL.
Two Fleas That Didn't Know When to
Let Well Enough Alone.

Two fleas were sitting on a dog who
was wandering about the streets when
one of them said: Brother, what de-
graded, hair starved lot Is ours. Here
we have chosen to unite ourselves to a
common street cur who wanders from
alley to alley. We see nothing but
the most dismal sights. We hear no
elevating conversation or delightful
small talk. Surely there ought to be
something better in store for us than
this"
You are right" said the second flea
Look, my brother! Here is a car
rlage approaching. 1t is evidently some
hIghborn lady bent on a charitable en-
terprise. In her lap sits such a beau.
tiful little terrier Let us therefore
make an effort to better ourselves"
"splendidm said the first flea. 1--WE
viii live amid the most luxurious SUR
roundings. We will feed on the fat Of
the land. We viii sleep at night in
clean bed"
And so in few bold but successful
jumps as the carriage stopped they
both landed simultaneously on the back
of the terrier In a short time they
We're driven to their new home.
So delighted were they with their
new life that the two fleas could
scarcely contain themselves for JOY.
Their manifestations, however. were
so unusual that the terrier frantically
scratched himself which attracted the
attention of his mistress, who imme-
dlately sent for physician, who at
once gave the dog such a radical treat
ment that the two feas were slowly
drowned in horrible fluid that came
like food and surprised them before
they were able to get away.
ALAS brotheri' said the first flea as
be gave dying gasp why could we
not have been satisfied with our hum
bic LOTT"
Moral-Some folks never know when
to let we'll enough alone.--Life.
