Morita Keizo, under sentence of
death, was reprieved yesterday for the
tenth time.
Acting Governor Mott-Smith yester-
day signed reprieve addressed to the
High Sheriff, and directing him not to
execute the sentence of death on Mo-
rita on May 30, as the last reprieve di-
rected, but to execute it on November
q next, by which time the Supreme
Court of the United States may have
decided Morita's case.
Morita was convicted in Hawaii of
murder, and sentenced to be hanged.
The grand jury that indicted him con-
tanned members who had been natural
lied as American citizens by the Ter
ritorial courts instead of by the United
States Court. Proceedings were begun
to save Morita from the gallows and to

AGAINST BOXING CONTESTS.

The following petition has been pre-
scented to United States District Attor-
ney Breckons. Regarding the contests
Saturday night, Mr. BreckOns would
say nothing except that with his wife
and child he expected to go to the
country Saturday and would not be in
town. 1t is understood that so long
as these contests are in fact contests
of skill, and not mere money making
enterprises, Breckons does not feel
called on to interfere unless directed to
do so by the department. The petition
is as follows:
Honolulu, May %, 1908.

Attorney, Honolulu, T. H.
Sir: We, the undersigned. citizens
of Honolulu, respectfully request your
attention to the boxing contest arrang-
ed for May Goth inst, and request that
you notify the parties that any viola

States, for which the minimum penalty
IS one years imprisonment

boxing where no money is charged and
no prize is given may be enjoyed by

MILvERTON'S STORY.

The following appears-as might be
expected-in the Bulletin:
The strenuous attempt made by the
morning paper to besmirch the County
Attorneys Office turns out to. be but
a mere hysterical outburst based on a
Misrepresentation Of facts and carried
out by erroneous conclusions. 1t states
that the dispositions made by Report
ers Matheson and Ayres have been
spirited away-and it turns out that
no such dispositions ever existed.
I'm the first place no such deposit
tons were ever TAKEN" said Deputy
County Attorney Milverton this morn
ing. And in the second place, even
if they had been taken, they could not
have been used in a criminal case, be-
cause the defendant has the constitu-
tional right to be confronted by the
witnesses. AS they did not exist they
could not disappear.
"As far as A P. Taylor is concerned,
he prepared typewriter statements of
what had occurred. They are not
dispositions, but they are still there.
At that time 1 asked Taylor what cor
roboration he had, and he said Ayres
and Matheson Then sent for Mathe-
son and Ayres and asked them, as
would any other witness, what they
knew about the case. They told me,
and I made some rough notes, which
were never given to a stenographer or
typewriter. This took place a couple
of days before the date set for the trial,
thaGa intended merely
for my own guidance in examining the
witnesses in the same way as any at
torney does in handling a case, and
the notes could not in any way be
called 'depositions,' nor could they be
used as such. Even if any other pros
ecutor took up the case in my place
he would not use these notes, but
would do as I did, call the witnesses
before him and take notes on what
they had to say.
LAS a matter of fact, 7 had these
papers filed with the rest of the papers
in the case, and they may have been
lost. We had always had great diff
Guilty in finding papers in the Attorney
Generals department, even important
ones. owing to the lax system of filing
employed by the clerks"
Deputy Attorney General Larnach
stated that he did not expect to find
the dispositions. If anything, scrubbed
notes would be the only thing on file.
He personally requested Mr.. Matheson
to call at his Office yesterday, follow
ing out a custom in such cases, to go
over his part of the case. He would
probably have done this whether or
rot Milverton's original notes had been
found.

NOW THEY
TALK MONEY
(From Thursdays Advertiser. !

CFrom Thursdays Advertiser)
| The meeting of the executive COM
mittee of the fleet entertainment and
reception committee held yesterday in
| the rooms Of the Promotion Committee
was fully attended.
The members of the committee are
all taking an active interest in their
work and this is certain to be produc-
tive of good results.
Chairman George Carter in calling
the meeting to order stated that it
gave him great pleasure to report that
public interest in the coming OF the
fleet was increasing and that there was
a decided disposition among the BUSH
ness men to be generous in the matter
of contributions toward the entertain
ment fund.
He stated that the Hawaiian Elec-
trio Co. had offered to provide what
material was needed at cost, and that
the Inter-Island S. n. Co. had prom
Used to do all in their power in the
matter of passenger and freight ac-
commodation at as low a rate as pos
sible.
One well-known citizen, the chair
stated, had offered to keep his resi-
dence open for the officers of the fleet
and to provide sandwiches and light
refreshments during the stay of the
fleet
A motion was passed favoring the
idea of subscription ball for the Of
ficers of the fleet with the understand
ing that the flooring and decorations
be placed at the disposal of the men
after the officers ball.
The entertainment committee was
requested to submit an estimate of the
cost of the proposed subscription ball.
The plan to entertain the officers of
the fleet at Pearl Harbor was approx
ed, and a motion was passed favoring
the appropriation of $1,000 to defray the
cost of transportation, refreshments
and incidental expenses.
A motion was passed favoring the
appropriation of $3.50 for the entertain
ment at Kapena falls. The place will
be used as a bathing place and the
idea is to provide refreshments on the
spot
Col. Jones reported on fireworks. On
his recommendation a motion was
passed to appropriate $3.50 for two
nights display of pyrotechnics.
L. T. Peck reported the following
plan for financial administration which
upon motion was adopted.
a. From available funds the execu-
tive committee shall make appropria-
tions from time to time for availm ent
by the respective subcommittee in
carrying out duly authorized plans Of
action.
b. No liability for merchandise nor
for services shall be incurred by any
subcommittee until an order therefore
be issued by the general secretary un-
der authority of the executive COM
mittee. These orders shall be issued
on acquisitions signed by the respec-
tive chairmen under authorized appro-
priations only.
c. Bills for goods delivered or SER
vices rendered shall be made against
the executive committee only and bas-
ed on orders held by those rendering
the same.
d. The general secretary shall pay
bills by warrants on the treasurer,
countersigned by the general account
ant.
e. After the departure of the fleet, a
detailed financial report. properly aud
tied, shall be furnished to the public
press.

Over year ago l was requested by
Deputy Attorney General Milverton to
call at his office at a stated time in
order to make a statement of what
knew of the Lee Let bribery case. l
complied with the request, understand
ing that trial of the case was pending.
Milverton received me in his Office in
the Judiciary building and started to
question me. Almost Immediately he
summoned stenographer, who was in
structed to take careful notes of what
l said. The stenographer was young
lady.
In order to make no mistake l took
with me to Milverton s office a diary
containing notes of the case. / asked
Milverton not to have this produced in
court as it contained some matters of a
personal and private nature. He as
sured me that the statement which |
was about to make would be preserved
and would be accessible at any time
/ wanted to see it, and added that if l
was only preserving the diary on &C
count of the Lee Let notes l might as
well destroy it, as all the information
contained therein would be preserved
in the statement which l was making.

Further light is thrown on the char
| acter of the papers which have van
ished from the County Attorneys Of
fee by the following statements of the
witnesses whom Deputy Milverton in
terviewed at the time:
After testifying before the Grand
Jury in the Lee Let alleged bribery in

the Attorney General to talk over my
testimony with Deputy Attorney Gen
eral Prosser Ny statements were taken
down in writing and Transcribed on
blanks for filing. These blanks were
filed with the papers of the office, as
some months later / went over them
again. Later, when Mr.. Milverton took
hold of the case as Deputy Attorney
General, these notes were still on file,
and for the third time l went over them,
this time with Mr.. Milverton.
During the months the matter was
supposed to be in preparation for trial
by the County Attorneys department
was not consulted by him or his
deputy as to what testimony l was pre-
pared to give, although, on the surface,
the case was at least twice within a
week of trial. So far as / know the
County Attorney consulted no one of
the witnesses tor the prosecution.
On Tuesday of this week l made
statement to Deputy Attorney General
Larnach, who, in discussing the status
of the case, stated that nowhere on file
could be found anv of the previous
statements l had made, although the
dispositions of Chief of Detectives Tay-
lor were intact. / asked where the filed
statements had gone, and was told that
they had disappeared completely from
the files, although dealing with pend
ing case.
"That is the way this case has been
handled,'' said MI. Larnach.

Origin of Sausage,

The sausage dates back to the year
S97. 1t has been asserted that the
Greeks in the days of Homer manu-
featured sausage, but this prehistoric
mixture had nothing in common with
our modern product
The ancient so-called sausage was
composed of the same materials
which enter in the makeup of the
boudin of the French market and the
blood pudding of the French Cana
dian. The ancient sausage was en-
veloped in the stomach of goats 1t
was not until the tenth century that
sausage made of hashed pork be-
came known.
1t was in or near the year 1900
that, thanks to the introduction into
Germany of cinnamon and saffron,
the sausage Of Frankfort and of
Strasburg acquired universal repu-
tation.

! this furnishes an excellent oppor-
tunity for raising calves. as they can
be readily cared for and b. the time
there is good grass in spring will be
ready TO return to pasture
The idea should be to encourage a
thrifty, vigorous growth of bone and
muscle Of the true dairy type. but
not TO encroach on the beef form.
Some care is required in raising good
stock Of all kinds. but this will be
abundantly repaid in the success that
should always follow careful and
well directed effort.
Now l wish 10 give a little ex-
ample in pig feeding. Pigs like
skinned milk right from the s,pa-
rator and it makes an excellent feed,
especially when 4 proper amount
of grain is added. as these animals
should be kept growing anu fatten-
ing at the same time.
The last of February I took a Ches-
ter white pig, weighing lis pounds.
alive, and put it in a pen alone where
it was warm and dry. II was fed
with the skinned milk and one
quart Of mixed grain feed three times
q day. 1t was fed for fiff~ days and
then slaughtered. TIE dressed
weight was 17S pounds. 1 calculate
this was equal to two pounds of in
crease per day, live weight. Morn
ing and night fresh separator milk
was fed.
We now have lot OF fine young
pigs in pen together that are being
cared for in the same manner with
not yet so much grain. that are
doing finely. They are white and
clean, enjoy their meals and are
growing larger and fatter every day.
wish to emphasize the idea of
having commodious quarters for
either calves or pigs, well lighted.

Radio-Activity of Conifers.

Costanzo and Negro discovered
some time ago that leaves of plants
placed in the cylinder of an electro
scope used in researches on RADIO
activity gave to the air within the
apparatus a certain conductivity, or
in other words, ionized the air They
then undertook a more profound
study of the phenomenon, using
leaves of Cedrus deodara and Cedrus
Libani. Their results are reported
in the memoirs of the Academia del
Nuovi Lincei. With the leaves of
these species the ionization of the air
which is a maximum Immediately
after their introduction into the ap-
paratus, diminishes very rapidly. DR..

GUS other trees have the property o

that one could thus obtain. by contact
in the dark, very fine photograph;
showing the alternate light and darA
rings and lines produced in the wood
in spring and autumn. Nevertheless
it is not evident that this effect is at
tributable to the radio-activity of the
wood, for a thin sheet of glass or mica
interposed between the wood and the
sensitive plate prevents the action en-

that attends all things which possess
