regarded Gov. Johnson and renomlnated
him FOR d ;hird term as chief executive
Of that state
Bryan made no secret Of his pleasure
to-day. He was smiling all over when
the subject was discussed. and said that
he had sent the governor a telegram Of
cunErarulayion- T. was plain from Bryan's
attitude that be expected the governor

Tt certainly IS great compliment

Fukuda
Captured
lie Admits His Indentity TO
Police.

Fukuda, the much wanted, resi-.
dent of Honokaa was captured by
Sheriff Saffery and a posse of police
last Sunday at camp ten on the Ha-
waiian Commercial q Sugar Com
panies plantation.
Fukuda is accused of numbering
his wife and her paramour by shoot
ing them in the night.
The police have been on the look
out for the man for over month.
On the night of September the
18th they had a report that Fukuda
was in a certain house near Puu-
nene' They surrounded the house
and as it now appears Fukuda was
IN the house at the time but manag-
ed to slip out and hide in chicken
house where he remained with
drawn revolver, intending to kill the
first police officer who came near
him. The police searched the house
but not having any suspicion that
he was near them they departed
leaving the man but Il few feet away.
Had the police searched the
chicken house they would undoubt-
ed have found the man but it is
certain that they would have been
killed as Fukuda says that he was
determined to kill every one he
could before his capture.
Sheriff Saffery was determined to
capture the man if possible and en-
ployed Il spy to shadow the man
who was wanted.
On Sunday evening. Fukuda was
induced to join in "A crap game and
while he was busy throwing dice was
by the police.
In the Jail of Wailuku he admit
ed his identity and said that he is
he man who had shot and killed
Sugioka of Honokaa. He said that
he had hidden ON Hawaii for three
months and six days and that he
lad taken the Mauna Kea for
hcGregors landing and had made
he trip unmolested.
On TINS island he had taken the
lame Of Sakamoto. .
