that nothing had been introduced to
show that Lee Let knew that Taylor
was an. executive officer of the Terri
tory.
Thompson said that Taylors testi-
mony was to the effect that no agree
ment was made that no arrests should
be made, but that on the contrary, it
was agreed that arrests should be
made, that Taylor should employ attor-
neys for the defence, use his influence
to have small fines imposed and then
pay these himself. Thompson held cnat
this was the only reason which had
been shown for the alleged gift of $50.
He held that such an act was entirely
outside of Taylor's power as an ex-
ecutive officer.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1908-06-08

The morning session was opened by
a motion made by Attorney f. E.
Thompson for a directed verdict. This
was done on fifteen different grounds
The first was that it had not been
shown that A. p Taylor was an eXecu-
tive officer of the County of Oahu, On
this subject Thompson produced the
statutes to show that it was provided
that police officer may be appointed
by the sheriff but must be approved by
the attorney general.
A further ground was that it appear
ed from the evidence that A. p Taylor
first suggested his willingness to be
bribed and thereby originated the crl-
minal intent and apparently joined
with the defendant in a criminal act
first suggested by him, merely to en-
trap said defendant 1t was also alleg-
ed that it did not appear that any eff
/ fort was made by Lee Let to influence
A. P. Taylor that he should not arrest
the defendant or Lee Tong.
Thompson reading the tesimSiy OF
/ Taylor and Iaukea argued that the on
/ ly appointment made was three or four
days before Iaukea took Office at which
time he had no power to appoint. Out
side of this Thompson claimed that the
commission given Taylor was the only
manner of appointment and that this
was void as commissioning Taylor to a
| nOsitfOn that dOac not 'avict
In regard to the willingness of ray
Tor to be bribed Thompson read from
TaylOr's testimony to show that he
had gone to Lee Let and had suggest
ed the payment of the $50 bride. This
was particularly in regard to where
Taylor asked for the money and then
said: I'VE will consider this half OF
the cash guarantee of the first day"
Thompson read a decision from the
Supreme Court of Illinois in which a
man knew that he was to be robbed
and encouraged the attempt. In this
case 1t was held that no crime was
committed on account Of the fact that
the man was really robbing himself
and that the man under arrest could
not be an accomplice TO any such
crime, In the same manner, In asking
and insisting on being bribed Taylor
had placed himself In the moose as a
principal and Lee Let would not be
considered an aecOmplice, said 90

flat The former champion was w.
E. Corroll of Mangum, Okla, who
had a record of 21 ga seconds. Cor
roll witnessed Dealers great feat and
declared him the worlds champion.
Thirty steers from the Panhandle
of Texas, specially imported for this
occasion, were the objects of the las
so. They came from a 10000 acre
ranch and were as wild as the plains
of the southwest could Oproduce.
Twelve widely known cowboy ropers
participated in the contest, each
mounted on his own pony.
When one of the range steers was
released from the corral he was
chased across the field until he came
in front OF the judges stand, and If
then running at high rate Of speed
a flag was dropped and the fleet foot
ed pony. with his rider swinging a
lariat, dashed down the field after the
steer.
The time made by Bealer appears
Incredible in view Of what he had to
do. His pony ran 100 yards before
the lasso's loop fell over the steers
giant horns. That moment the pony
turned, digging his hoofs !nto the
ground, braced himself and waited.
The rushing steer reached the lin
1t OF the rope and turned complete
somersault, landing on his side with
thud. Unable to use his head, the
steer could not rise.
eBaler was not on the pony. The
very moment he saw the lariat land
we'll over the steers horns he slid
from the pony back and ran toward
the roped steer. With six feet of rope
he tied all four feet togetaer in such
a manner that they could not b!
freed, jumped on the beast, raised his
hand and removed his hat as a signal
to the judges and the spectators that
he was through.
All this was done in the third part
of single minute. Milton eBaler is
just past 22 years old. He has spent
his life on a ranch.

Syndicate of 12 Americans Take Over
an Immense Tract.

vi - AohS WV
an Immense Tract.
Consul Abraham +. Smith OF Vic
toria. reports that an American syn
dicate composed OF AZ capitalists,
have purchased perhaps the largest
single land transaction made In the
province OF British Columbia, con-
cerning which he adds:
There was unusual interest in Vic
torla in this matter. A number of
railroad men and wealthy investors,
residents Of the middle western states,
chartered a large steamer and exam
ined timber and coal properties on
the Queen Charlotte Islands in which
they held options.
The syndicate, which is to be
known as the Moresby Island Lum-
Der company closed their options on
40 square miles Of timber on Mores-
by Island. They also purchased out
right 5000 acres OF the choicest crown
grant lands In Graham Island. The
investment reaches several millions
of dollars, the initial payment being
$3.50. 900. AS a result Of the trip O
sawmin, to cost 100000, will be at
once erected by the company and To-
Gated on Cumshewa Inlet on Graham
Island.
Various members Of the party also
hold options on 10 miles of semi-an-
thracite coal lands on Graham Island
but it is reported that coal experts
advise against the purchase, declar-
ing that the coal is limited in guam
tity and unworkable, owing to the
broken formation and lack of thick
ness in the veins.
The northern part of Graham
Island is already in possession OF an
other American syndicate, known as
the B. F. Graham Lumber company,
and embraces both timber and coal
lands.

ORIGIN Or REFERENDUM IN OREGON

Burgholzer is also Of German stock,
worthy descendants of those liberty
loving barbarlans who stood beside
Armenlans In those gloomy German
forests 1900 years ago, when the
mighty Roman army went down to
defeat and annihilatlon before the
northern fury. Barbarlans?
Yes, but free barbarians, those Of
whom Henry George says 1.-THE beams
| Of liberty glinted from the shields Of
German warriors and Augustus wept
his leglons" The subject Of this
sketch was born and raised on a farm
in Bavaria, little more than so
years ago, and after serving in the
German army, took a trip through
England, Ireland, Holland, Belgium
and Austria, came to the United
States In 1881; spent seven years as
flour miller, two years in sawmills
and logging camps two summers on
steamboat and the remaining time
farming.
This is the story OF the pioneer Of
direct legislation In Oregon. Why is
II asked II he has done so much is he
not better known? First, because
most of the papers he contributed to
were not OF general circulation; sec
ond, because he has not been before
the people in public capacity; third,
and perhaps most important, because
he has never sought notoriety play
ed to the gallery" nor advertised
himself in any way, for this soldier,
miller, logger. steamboatman, farm
er and Tom Watson populist, is mod
est and, on his Lane county farm, re-
mains content to hammer away" in
the cause and leave the glory to those
who care more for II.
But, II justice is done. when the
historian OF the future writes the
oregon reform movement, prominent
among the names of the truly great
should rank that OF modest, unassum-
Ing Max Burgholzer.
