GRAND JURY'S
CENSURE STRICKEN

HILO, December 1S.--Judge Parsons,
on Friday last ordered stricken from
the report of the last grand jury all
that portion which blamed and criti-
cized the county attorney, and called
upon the court TO censure him for
failure to leave necessary papers in the
hands of his deputy.
In his argument on behalf of the
county attorney, Carl Smith drew at
tention to the charge of Judge Par
sons wherein he had told the grand
jury that it had no inquisitorial pow
ers except in sucsh cases as those ~
which the court or prosecuting officers
had drawn their attention. He made
the point that the grand jury had no
jurisdiction over the prosecuting officer
and that the court had none unless he
had committed a crime as any other
citizen might. The only remedy was
at the polls. The grand jury in this
Territory had no inquisitorial pow
ers except in such cases as those to
charged to do so, It could make an in
vestigation, otherwise not. 1t had no
individual right to make charge.
There were only three ways in which
this could be done, first by the court,
second by the prosecuting officer, and
own number.
Harry Irwin, speaking for the COM
mittee of five attorneys named by the
| court, said the only question to be con-
sidered was if the court had the right
to censure. He thought it had and the
| mere fact that an officer was elected did
not place the power to censure officers
of the court beyond the court. If the
court did have the power to censure
then the only question was if the grand
jury had sufficient information. 1t had
been advised that certain papers were
inaccessible. From the County Attor-
neys own evidence the confession OF
the murderer was in his safe. 1t was
not enough to say that it might have
been obtained in some other way. The
grand jury was hindered by failure to
produce that paper, There was an
other point to which the committee
that he represented desired to draw
attention. The petitioner had alleged
in his charge that the grand jury was
actuated by personal spite and had us
ed its Office and position for political
purposes. If the order to expunge were
made as prayed for the effect would
be to muzzle the grand juries and, on
behalf of the committee, he moved that
the petition be not granted.

The invitation which has been sent 10
William j. Bryan by the National Demo-
c,atio Club 10 be one Of its guests at the
jefferson Day dinner on April 10 at the
Kniokerbocker Hotel did not ask Mr. Bryan
10 make a speech at the banquet. The
omission was intentional. At the meeting
Of the directors last Tuesday when the
question was discussed until late at night
as TO whether or not Mr. Bryan should be
invited the proposal to extend the clubs
hospitality 10 him was carried with the
proviso that he should be invited not as the
guest Of honor but az a plain ordinary
guest and that nothing in the invitation
should lead Mr. Bryan TO think that he
would be expected 10 deliver an address,
The following announcement is official
The following gentlemen have been IN
vited and have consented TO speak at the
banquet which the National Democratic
Club will give In honor OF Thomas Jeferson's
birthday at the Knickerbocker Hotel on
Monday, April 49, Woodrow Wilson, presi-
dent Of Princeton University. Robert l..
Taylor, United States Senator from Tennes-
see: Robert l., owen, United States Senator
from Oklahoma. f. NJ. simmons, United
States Senator from North Carolina, and
Edward NJ Shepard, ESQ, OF New York city
This list Of speakers will not be enlarged.
When the club began its campaign last
fall for the restoration in the Democratic
party Of a conservative policy it was an
nounced that that campaign was not aimed
at any individual or any faction, but at the
same time the directors Of the club made
il clear that their conservative policy
really meant the beginning Of fight against
the nomination Of Bryan. Since then some
OF the leaders Of the club seemed to have
changed their attitude.
At the meeting Of the directors last week
several Of the directors contended that as
the policy Of the club was not to take sides
for or against any candidate II was the
duty Of the club to include Mr.. Bryan in
the list Of guests. Even this proposition
was opposed by some Of the directors and
il was only on the understanding that Mr.,
Bryan should not be formally asked TO
speak that the invitation was agreed to.
The invitation was sent to Mr. Bryan last
Thursday. No answe er has yet been received.
Mr.. Bryan is touring in the South and a
reply is not expected before the end Of the
week Friends OF Mr. BRYAN said last nj ght
that he would undoubtedly accept the in
vitaton, and II he does so it is a 1000 to
that he will be heard from. As one Of the
directors Of the Democratic Club remarked
last night
1T Is impossible to think Of Mr.. Bryan
attending a Democratic dinner and not
being asked to speak There will be at
least 400 persons at the dinner and the
clamor they will make for Bryan II he Is
seated at the guest table will leave no alter
native for the chairman but to call upon

DEAD VOLCANO COMES TO LIFE.
Crater Lake Turns to steam -Guat emala
Towns Fear Destruction.

san Francisco. March 3O.-News was
brou ght here to-day by steamer Of the
active eruption Of a volcano in Guatemala
which was supposed 10 he extinct and at
the base Of which is the town Of San Felipe.
This volcano is opposite Santa Maria. the
volcano which recently wiped out town
after town. 1t began to rumble and emit
smoke a few weeks ago and now it is in
complete eruption, Residents Of Quezal-
tenango, the nearest town on the mountain
side, anticipate a flow oI lava that will wipe
out the town.
Mark Edison, who brought the news, says
The first signs Of a volcano were the usual
deep rumblings and an unsteady feeling
of the earth and we all looked for another
eruption from Santa Maria. After several
DAYS a sudden convulsion Of the earth was
followed by complete stiffness and then
the old extinct volcano, which no one
suspected of any life, shot out magnificent
stream Of smoke and fire, while the lake in
its crater was converted into a cloud Of
steam that spread out, umbrella shaped,
several thousand feet in the air.
Streams Of lava flowing outside the
cone we're ominous when | left and the
signs were all for a tremendous eruption

LONDON NAY SHELL PARIS
Or Paris London Col. Maude Has a Gun
That VIII ReVOlutIOnlze War.


LONDON, March 30.-Col F. W. Maude in
the April Contem pordry Reriev describes a
gun which "is in existence and can impart
by the application Of electricity an initial
velocity Of 80, 900 feet second 10 projectiles
Of all dimensions and which can be practi-
cally handled under war conditions and on
board ship or in permanent defences. Pro-
iectiles Of 1000 pounds weight lie fairly
within these limits
In a succeeding passage he declares that
il the rule with velocities up to $500 feet
second viz, that resistance increases
as the square Of velocity, holds good at
the higher rates. then there is practically
nothing to prevent these weapons from
throwing shells from London 10 Paris or
vice versa at the rate Of few thousand
a day. The inventor ia ". s. Simpson, a
Scotchman.
A reporter Of the Chronicle, who inter-
viewed Col. Alaude, assures critics that
the greatest experts in the country have
seen. examined and witnessed the working
Of the model and expressed their entire
satisfaction with its practicability. He
adds that Col. Maude does not hesitate to
say that the results claimed are certain to
be realized
The fact that with this weapon it will
be possible to give a projectile a velocity
Of 10000 feet a second and upward with
out smoke, fash or recoiI will ultimately
compel all navies TO abandon armor and
devote their energies to the attainment of
speed as the prime factor OF success

ment TO a section Of it's supporters. The
Government in these circumstances could
not object TO the Unionists asking what the
Government meant
Herbert Asquith, Chancellor Of the
Exchequer, while reafrming his opinion
that the ultimate solution Of the question
could only be found in a system Of self
government as regards purely local matters
said he could not vote for the motion be-
cause no House Of Commons would be
justified in embarking upon such a task
unless the matter had first been submitted
to the electorate This was not the case
In the last general election.
The utmost that could he done con-
sistently with the promises then made
was to do what the Government attempted
in 1907 with the Irish Council bill. SO
far as the present Parliament was con-
oerned II had exhausted It's powers in regard
to the problem Of Irish government The
British people had got TO be convinced,
and until they were convinced II would
be impossible TO travel an inch along the
road.
Timothy Healy wound up the debate.
He declared that Mr.. Asquths speech,
speaking as he did for his party, was de-
plorable retrogression.
The House then divided on Earl Percys
amendment, which was defeated by vote
Of li2 to 23i, and then on Mr. Redmond's
motion, with the words. Subject to the

CONGRESSMAN CLARK IN FIGHT.
Furnishes . Young Man In Hotel Varnum
VINO Had Been Rude TO His wife.

WASHINGTON, March 80. 3O.-Although small
Of stature, mild in manner and speech and
modest as a schoolgirl, Frank Clark. a
Democratic Representative from the State
Of Florida is a right good man in q fight,
as he proved himself to-day. An old
fashioned rough and tumble that created
a good deal Of excitement was pulled OF in
the lobby of the Hotel Varnum and Repre-
sentative Clark was one OF the principals.
The other, whose identity could not be
learned, is said to he follower Of the races.
Mr.. Clark appeared in the House this after
noon with lump over his left eye twice
as large as walnut
Mr.. and Mrs, Clark had just returned
from a week end party over in Virginia.
They reached the Hotel Varnum about
noon and we're entering the lobby through
the revolving door when the door began
TO revolve as it had never revolved before.
The motive power was supplied by a young
man, evidently little the worse for wear.
and Mr.. Clark charges that Mrs, Clark was
slightly injured in the hand as a result Of the
rudeness Of the young man.
Mr.. Clark was angry. He admits il.
The offender followed him up to press his
apologies, but the Florida Representative
waved him away, Thereupon blow was
struck and Mr.. Clark fell to the floor. He
came to in less than nine seconds, Quickly
regaining his feet he went at his assailant
and. as he expressed it, was just getting
him in fine shape for a hospital when
bystanders stepped in.Apd stopped the row.
There was a report in the House that MIR.
Clark had pulled knife on his antagonist.
Mr.. Clark denied this, He likewise denied
that his antagonist had pulled a knife on
him. Nothing but fists we're brought into
play in the combat. Although wearing a
slight designation Mr.. Clark is able to
attend to his legislative duties,

BLEW OFF 8 MCH GUN MUzzLE.
Accident on the Missouri at Target Prac-

WASHINGTON. March S0-The muzzle
Of a six inch broadside gun on the battle
ship Missouri exploded during target prao-
tice at Magdalena Bay, Mexico, last Sstur-
day In reporting the accident to the Navy
Department to-day Rear Admiral Robley
d. Evans Commander-in-ch Of the
fleet, said that no one was in njured. A por-
ton Of the gun fourteen inches in length.
he added, had been blown OF. The metal
looked good, he said, and there we're no
signs Of a flaw in the gun.
The gun was one Of the old style 20
calibre six inch guns which are now being
supplanted az rapidly as possible by
new style 80 cabre six inch gun 1t was
manufactured in 1902 at the naval gun
foundry Of the Washington Navy Yard
and was Of the earlier design Of high power
guns and was not hooped to the muzzle
Chamber pressures Of the index Of the
powder used taken Immediately after
the accident show about two tons less
than the proof pressures Of the powder,
and the powder for some reason may have
become slightly slow in burning
The break in the gun occurred about
eight feet from the chamber The 40 calibre
six inch gun is 2IO inches long and the
length Of the fracture was 40 inches from
the muzzle Of the gun The part Of the gun
which was blown of was outside Of the
gun port, and this fact, it is believed here,
prevented any injuries to the gun crew. A
spare gun Is now available and will be
shipped Immediately 10 the Pacific Coast
The Missouri had a serious accident while
at target practice near Pensacola. Fla, on
