sibility in this Territory receive more
salary than he does--this we would Of
fer in support OF the contention that
the increase of salary asked for is per-
fectly reasonable. An examination of
the salaries paid United States mar
shals elsewhere win show that the
United States marshal for this district
has the least salary of any marshal in
a district handling anywhere near the
same amount of business, and, indeed.
the smallest salary paid any United
states marshals, save in but one or
two instances
We would likewise urge You to
secure an action by the Attorney Cen
eraf of the United States for the ap-
polntment of an additional office dep
uty. Mr.. Hendry. the present marshal,

acquainted with the islands, of the time
consumed by the serFfce of such papers.
one man must, Of course, be kept in
the office here, and quite frequently
during the court session here one man
IS kept constantly busy serving papers
in and about Honolulu The Depart
ment of Justice is no doubt well aware
of the amount of work done in the Fed
eral court here and the amount of work
performed in the past by the marshars
office. The present session of the court
and of the grand jury has kept Mr.
Hendry and his deputies busy day and
night and part of Sunday. At the time
this matter was presented to our as
ISOLATION the marshal had in hand
many unserved warrants and subpoe-
mas which it was utterly impossible for
him to serve with the promptitude that
the courts of justice demand These
matters will be clear to you, when you
consider that the petit and grand jury
are both in session at the same time,
requiring the constant presence of at
least two persons for the service /of
papers
I'VE will ask that you give this mat
ter your kind consideration, and would
suggest that you at once take the mat
ter up with the Department of Justice,
and, if possible, secure their coopera-
ton for the amendment suggested
by us.

W0MAN'S SUICIDE
 ACT 0F MYSTERY

Spokane, Oct. 1-Helen Wood, a young nurse, jumped from bridge into the river last night and her body was swept away. Several persons witnessed the act, which was commit. ted about 10 o'clock, but they were unable to do anything to prevent the young woman from carrying out her determination to seek death.
 Miss Wood, so far as is known by her intimate friends, had no great trouble. She was in good health and to all appearances happy. A few mo- ments before she jumped from the bridge she had been at the home of a friend where she gave no indication that she was in trouble or that she contemplated anything of the nature of her last deed.

 BENEDICT CHARGES
Editor of Prospector:

Editor of Prospector:
 The statements contained in the article published in last nights issue of the Prospector with regard to actions of sailors at Unalaska are decidedly untrue.
 . l am acquainted with Miss Mable Benedict whom your paper states made the accusations in Seattle, and during two trips to Unalaska neither Miss Benedict, nor any person, male or female, American, Russian or Aleut, made complaint in any man. ner as to conduct of sailors at Un- alaska. From August 1907 to May 1908, q commissioner was stationed at Unalaska and an examination of his reports discloses no complaints or warrants issued thereon against any of the revenue-c cutter service or of the navy.
 The conduct of the sailors of the revenue cutter service and of the navy while at Unalaska has never before been complained of and my personal knowledge leads me to be- lieve no cause for complaint exists.
 am at loss to account for the ac- cusations made by Miss Benedict when she has had many opportunities to make such complaints to the proper authorities during the four years she has been teacher at the Methodist Mission School at Unalas- ka, had she the slightest evidence upon which to base a complaint.

ROOSEVELT CAUSES
 NO FEAR ID BRYAN

Rock Island, Oct. l. "I have lived in vain if your accusations lose me. a single friend"
 In the foregoing language William J. Bryan closes his reply to the state ment issued last Sunday by President Roosevelt. Mir. Bryan deals in de- tail with the assertions concerning him made by the president and re- peats the assertion that Mir. Roose- welt violated precedent in declaring Governor Haskell of Oklahoma to be guilty of the charges made against him without giving Haskell an oppor- tunity of defending himself before proper tribunal.
 Mir. Bryan declares that Mir. Roose- welt did not deign to suggest tribu- nal to determine the truth or the fal- sity of the charges against Haskell, but proceeded to ignore the govern ment and set himself up as a court of final resort.

QUARREL ABOUT TREE
 CAUSES TWO DEATHS

Willits, Gal, Oct. GA stately pep per tree was this morning the cause of two deaths, one murder and the other suicide, the victims being prominent residents of this town. John Henderson lost his life at the hands of Frank Valier, who then sent a bullett through his own brain, the dual shooting being the culmina- tion of quarrel concerning the tree.
 Henderson and Valier had quar- reled before about the tree, which stands, partly on land thatwas owned by Henderson and partly on land that was owned by Valier. Hender- son, some time ago announced his intention of cutting down the tree and Valler objected. Tho men wran- gled, and Henderson, for tho time be- ing abandoned his 1intention. This morning, however, iHenderson began chopping down the tree and Valler warned him to Rdesist Henderson refused to oboy aAd Valier drew his revolver and shoN and instantly killed his neighbor. 8
 After tho ehnfting Valier walked into his house fd shot himself.

M0RMONS CAUSING
 TROUBLE IN UTAH

Salt Lake, Oct. 1-Mormonism, and it's accompanying evil of polygamy, will, it is believed, become the cause of more distinct cleavage of lines both political and social than has main tained in Utah for number of years. The American, or anti-mormon, party is at work with renewed activity and has nominated complete state ticket to be voted upon at the coming elec- tion, and the fight for political con- trol of the state bids fair to assume momentous proportions.
 The members of the American par ty are charging that polygamy is be- ing generally practiced tn roughout the state and that the old tenets of are rapidly assuming dangerous sway. Exciting develop ments are looked for to take place before election day.

JAPANESE DECIDE
 0N GOOD BEHAVIOR

Since the excitement consequent upon the rebellion of Tuesday even- ing everything has been quiet and peaceable around the quarters of the Japanese prisoners. The little brown men who so recently seemed filled with hatred towards their guards now treat in the most friendly man. ner the men who are on duty in the church building.
 Deputy United States Marshal Drei- belbis is oi the opinion that in their rebellion the prisoners were actuated by no other desire than to injure those holding them prisoners. Mir. Drei- ,belbis says that he believes no desire to escape actuated the Japanese but that the affair is the result of w ork o :agitators, now confined in the federal prison. Now all orders are obeyed cheerfully, the food that was sneered at on the evening of the trouble seems palatable enough to suit the most fastidious of the prisoners and every ything is serene.
 Guard Butterworth is suffering con- siderably from his burns, but he is in no danger. The other victims of the assault are all right.
 Deputy Marshal Dreibelbis has in- creased to twelve the force guarding the prisoners, and has established an outside patrol.

MURDER SUSPECT
 JUMPS 0VERB0kRD

Seattle, Oct. 2-Lee Johnson, the Nome mining man charged with the murder of his wife is probably sui eide and his body is probably lying under the waters of Nome roadstead. At least this is the word that reached here this morning from Nome and it expresses the belief of the authorities of the northern city and of the officers of the steamship Victoria on which Johnson was takens*p the scene of his alleged crime.
 Johnson in the custody of deputy U. s. Marshal departed for Nome on the Victoria. He was given consid- 'erable liberty while the vessel was at sea, as he appeared cheerful. and ex- pressed confidence that he would be able to successfully refute the charge against him. When, however, it was time to prepare to disembark the marshal could not find his prisoner.
 So soon as the officers of the yes sel were appraised of the fact that Johnson had disappeared, the other passengers were detained aboard the vessel while 2 thorough search was made. The search was resultless.
 Johnson is suspected of having murdered his wife so that he might obtain her property. It is charged that after killing her he dismembered and then burned the body. Johnson admitted the charges so far as they relate to the disposition of the re, fneins but declared that the woman committed suicide and left q note asking him Go keep the fact secret.
