ENDS LIFE
All POY. SENTENCED YESTERDAY
FOR EIGHT YEARS. DEFIED THE
COURT BY HANGING HIMSELF.

IF 1 am convicted | will kill my
self, said All Poy, Chinese burglar, in
the hearing of tic Deputy County She
Tiff, William Jarfett, in the police sta
ton before he vas convicted Of bur
glary and sentenced to serve eight
years in Oahu prison.
True to his word, All Poy killed him
self.
He was convicted yesterday of bur-
glarizing Haffner's jewelry store in the
Masonic block, Alakea, a few months
ago, and was taken to the prison last
night.
This morning his body was found
hanging to a grating by means of the
rope which had been attached to the
hammocks in his cell.
Early in the morning at Oahu Prison
it is the custom of the guards to go the
rounds and unlock the cell doors and,
at the tap of a bell, the prisoners
themselves open the doors and step
out.
This morning All Poy's door was not
opened when the bell sounded and af-
ter the door had been unlocked. A
guard at once threw open the door and
discovered the body of All Poy sus-
pended by the hammock ropes from
the grating of small window high in
the wall of the rear of the cell.
All Poy had broken the fine mosquito
wiring which had covered the small
window in order to get at one of the
bars to which he might attach the
rope and he had reached up to accom-
plish this by finding a foot-rest on a
ledge about halfway between the win
dow and the floor of the cell. The
marks of his feet scraping on the
a moose and put it about his neck and
let himself drop, but not with sufficient
force to break his neck. Death occurred
through strangulation. The body was
cold when discovered at it is supposed
that All Poy's ghost fled the prison pre-
cincts about the midnight hour.
All Poy was dressed in his prison
uniform when he was put into his cell
last night. His body was cut down
and a coroner's jury summoned, Cor
oner Jarrett being notified about s
o'clock
All Poy whose tragic suicide occurred
at the Oahu Prison last night, had had
a romance during the four months
that he had been confined in the prison
awaiting trial on the charge of larceny
a crime of which he was convicted and
for which he was sentenced yesterday
by Judge De Bolt, to serve eight years
All Poy had had a marriage forced up
on MIN.
While he was in Jail, the Federal
authorities took him into further GUS
tody on a charge of violating the Ed
munds Act. The woman was also ar
rested with him. The pair were mar
ried, following their arrest, but they
had to skip the honeymoon, as prison
bars and walls intervened, Poy be.
ing sent back to Jail to await trial OF
the Territorial offence.
At best the world can seldom plumb
the depths of the misery that drives
one to suicide. Perhaps the eight years
of single, solitary existence without his
new wife. drove All Poy into a frenzy
of despair and caused him to take his
life.

TRIpp COUNTY TREATY SIGNED

Inspector James Mclaughlin

$3.50 during the next
three months, and $3.50 per
acre for land subsequently filed

HUMAN CULTURE
TO BETTER RACE

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal, April 29.-
Through Americas cosmopolitan pop

pert sees in this country the best op-
portunity ever presented for develop
ing the finest race of human beings
the world has known. providing that.
as in plants. the right crossing is done
Proper environment. thereafter, in
childhood is needed to bring the race
TO a high standard of perfection. de-
clares Mr.. Burbank, whose remark
able views on human culture are given
in his first book, "The Training of the
Human Plant"
Il wish TO lay special stress upon
the absurdity, not to call It by a harsh
er term, of running children through
the same mill in lot. with absolutely
no real reference to their individuality.
The wave of public destiny which
seems to be sweeping over this coun-
try is chiefly due to lack of proper
training, breeding, II you Will, in the
formative years of life.

up a boy or a plant-the country Tho
curse Of modern child life in America

Mr. Burbank refers frequently to
love as an essential TO cultivating the
child's life. Here are some of his
sayings:
"Pick out any trait YOU want in your
child, granted that he is a normal
child. be it honesty. purity. loveable-
ness. industry, thrift. what not. BY
surrounding this child with sunshine
from the sky and from your own
heart, by giving him the closest COM
munion with nature, by feeding this
child nutritious food, by giving it all
that is implied in healthful environ
mental influences and by doing it in
love, you can cultivate in the child
and fix there for all its life all of
these traits"

PrsvaInnoe Of whonninn connh.

Evidently this is the season for chill
drens infectious diseases, says the
New York Herald. Scarlet fever anG
measles are not only holding their
own. but whooping cough has lately
taken an almost epidemic form among
the little ones. Although the malady
is not a markedly fatal one. it is app
to last for weeks and give rise to great
suffering.
Being essentially a house disease and
mostly propagated by means of close
quarters. it should, under present
weather conditions. when windows are
being opened, show tendency to de-
crease.
That such is not the case is ample
evidence Of the increased virulence of
the affection and it's tendency TO ex-
tend itself in new directions.
OF course, the only preventative
measure against attack is to guard
against all communication with af-
fected dividuals-certainly not an
easy thing to do in a crowded city.
Still, it is we'll to bear in mind that
during an epidemic of the malady all
children having a persistent cough
should be Stunned by those having
the care of infants. For week or
more this is the only suspicious symp-
tom, as the significant "whoop" does
appear until some time later, when.
naturally. the danger nf infection is
more manifest.

Empress of aJpan.

Her private life remains solitary, un-
eventful, and a little sad and cold.
Western civilization has not yet been
able to penetrate beyond the state
rooms of the great palace. In the
private apartments of the emperor and

is intact Its daintiness and beauty
are happily here untouched by eX-
traneous conceptions. The empress.

subtle grace Of Japanese costume.
with its faint, delicate colorings. its
nuttering sleeves, it's Incompatible re-
serve even in its richness. But along
with this artistic charm go the restric-
tions of old Japanese life. and with all
her quick. receptive intelligence the
empress has to obey the rules that
leave her private existence a rather
empty and cheerless one.
Unfortunately the empress does not
speak any foreign languages In
consequence her intercourse with the
ladies Of the different legations is
limited TO purely formal receptions.
Her own lady-in-waiting have little
grounds of the palace. which com
municate with it by sinuous covered
ways. They are brought to the palace
to be trained when little girls of nine

them their future duties. In due
course the novice succeeds some retir-
ing lady-in-waiting and is set up in
her own little establishment, passing
to the place for the hours or the days
in which she is on duty. Permission
to leave the royal precincts is very
seldom granted, and il is hardly to be
wondered at that the woman who has
scarcely breathed any other atmos-
phere since childhood than the heavy
air of an eastern palace should have
small capacity in tho end for anything
but the old ways, the pretty routine.
