" indicted last March by the federal
grand jury, after an investigation of
their operations in the National Bank

mass of evidence to be submitted to the
trial jury and 1t is expected that the
trial will consume several days. Both
defendants have fought out every stage
of the proceedings following the indict-
ment preliminary to trial.
If a conviction is found and sustain
ed in the higher courts there will be no
alternative from going to Jail, for while
the offenses specified in the indictments
are misdemeanors under the national
banking law, the penalty is prison
term of from five to ten years, at the
discretion of the court For conspiracy

Question of Citizenship Involved in
Important Appeal.

washington, Oct. 13.-Attorney
General Hemenway of Hawaii has ar
rived in Washington preparatory to
appearing in the supreme court of the
United States in a number of cases
from that territory.
For the convenience of the Ha-
waiian lawyers. before adjourning last
spring, the court grouped all the cases
from Hawaii, set them for hearing one
after another and advanced them so
that they will be reached within the
next two weeks.
Most of these cases are important
only to the litigants, but one of them.
that of Morita Keizo, involves the citi-
zenship of a number of residents of
the island Keizo is a japanese, who
murder and he has appealed his case
to the supreme court on the ground
that eight of the sixteen members of
the jury who sat in his trial were not
citizens of the United States. They
were foreigners who had taken out
naturalization papers IN the circuit
court of the islands.
The law provides for the issuance of
citizenship papers bv only the district
or the supreme court and keizo con-
tends that because the papers in the
case of the jurors were issued by the
circuit court they were not eligible to
act in that capacity or any other ca
pacity implying citizenship. He will
accordingly ask the supreme court to
reverse the findings.
Mr.. Hemenway will contend that for
the purpose of naturalization the cir
cult court was in effect the district
court He says that if the decision
should go against this contender
about 1000 men would be affected
many of them being Portuguese who

ly, it was carried though Kalaiwaa
and the faithful Purdy stuck bravely
together ftr-the minority.
The miscarriage of Kalaiwaa's plan
for footing the rest of the county for
the benefit of his own district of Kona
brought him to his feet. He thouhgt
that before the division of county
funds should be made on the pro rata
plan again all the Indebtedness of the
different districts should be paid out
of the general fund. This would, in
his view of it, be like washing up all
of the dirty clothes so that everybody
could start the New Year clean.
Purdy saw the danger to his cause
and was on his feet instantly to move
an adjournment until this morning.
ShiDman had the floor before Kalai-
waa could get up and suggested that as
Kalaiwaa had been talking of washing
dirty clothes, how were such clothes to
be washed if there was no water with
which to wash them. Why should the
districts which had been properly and
economically administered be called
unon to pay the debts of the others?
Such a suggestion was unjust and dis
honest. still he, Shipman, was glad to
get Kalaiwaa's views on it,
There was a good real of cross
firing in Hawaiian which was not in
terpreted, beyond an abortive motion
of Kalaiwaa's to the effect that all
funds should be placed in the hands OF
the county auditor, a suggestion which
was patiently absurd, and the board ad-
! journed until this morning.

COCOANUT ISLAND
HAS A GOVERNOR
GOVERNOR KEA1AWAA GETS RAISE IN SALARY
PER NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. BIG ISLAND THE
DIVIDING COUNTY REVENUE.

HILO, January THE Tribune says.
The labors of the Hawaii County Board
of Supervisors are not yet through for
they will meet again this morning and
do many weighty things
The good feeling of the occasion of
the gathering yesterday morning was
mstanced by the receipt of a letter
rom NJ. X. Kealawaa, who gravely
described himself as Governor of Co
coanut Island He wanted an increase
Of salary from SO to $40 a month. In
his letter he pointed out that he had
picked up all the bottles, had filed in
the swampy places, had white-washed
the bathing places and had generally
done everything that there was to be
done Therefore he wishes raise of
/ salary
| AS the governor of Mokuola' other
wise Cocoanut Island. has a free ha-
bitat, a privilege Of charging 25 cents
for ferryipg people across to the bath
ing beaches and nothing much to do
| beyond calmly contemplating the cir
cumambient atmosphere-that is unless
he wishes to go fishing, which he gen
orally does-Supervisor Shipman OBJ
! jected to the raise of salary.
The Governors salary was raised
nevertheless. 1t was in vain that Ship
man pointed out that if all the broken
bottles had been picked up, if the
marshy spots had been filled and the
island generally tidied up there would
be less work than ever to be done, up
went the salary all the same
The Civil Service Committee turned
down the request of Sheriff Keolanul
for a $50 a month stenographer, every
other application being filed.
The Finance Committee was kinder
to DR.. c. L. STOW, whose claim of
| SO for a police case was allowed. 1t
was also decided to allow the Sheriff
to purchase So handouts instead of the
50 so style which the board origina j.
preferred. The reason of the prefer
ence was never stated.
heakl introduced resolution max
inc the pay of road laborers $3.50 a
day from January 26th inst This was
passed, Purdy alone voting in the ne
gative.
1t was when Shipman introduced his
resolution regarding the division of
money transferred to road funds that
the trouble began He moved that
the system of dividing the road funds
pro rata giving each district fair per
centage should be reestablished.
This plan was revised at the meet
ing of April 5, 1907, but was rescinded
entirely on September 4th last with
the result that the eX-Reverend Kalai-
waa has managed to divide up road
funds at his own sweet will, leaving
every district in debt but Kohala and
Kau.
Shicman wished to speak to his mo-
ton but had little chance. The chair
man frowned him down with the re-
mark that he would have to put the
motion.
Il thought that the board might
like to have some explanation about
this before the motion was put" he
said.
The motion was put, and surprising

times, also draws him, irresistably, to

Why not, our window glass, bottles

we bring a single hog into this, our

Let us reason together, get together,
and make and export. Then, see few
chips fly and cash flow, into our own
pockets We could make the best of
cheese; and, export our own curry and
pepper sauce made with our own pure
wine vinegar. Think about these
things. The day is past into the black
ness of darkness when we can afford to
speak lightly of small farming. These

W. L. Greer Kills James W. Reneau.

Stabbed at ten different places in his body, James w Reneau, a brake man on the Iron Mountain, who lived at 102 North Pulaski street, Little Rock, died between 2:30 and 3 o'clock Thursday afternoon from the wounds which were inflicted by a steel paper cutter in the hands of w. L. Greer, well-known collector of Little Rock, in Greer's office, room No. 12, Fulk building. just short time prior to his death. Blood poured profusely from every one of the ten wounds, and Reneau lived but a short time after the cutting, which termi- mated an encounter between the two men, caused by trouble between them over the collection of S16.40.
 Greer was arrested shortly after the cutting, making no attempt to escape, and is now in the Pulaski county jail, held on the charge Of murder, pursuant to the recom.aenda- tions of coroner's jury, which, after listening for two hours late Thurs day afternoon to evidence in the in quest over Reneau's body, returned the following verdict:
 We, the jury, find that J. w. Reneau came to his death from knife wounds at the hands of w. l.. Greer, while being held by Miss Cora David son. We, the jury, find the killing uniustifiable, and recommend that w. l.. Greer be held to the grand jury without bail"
 Miss Davidson is the stenographer for Mir. Greer, and, according to her own testimony, struggled with Re neau while he and Greer were down together on the floor of the offlce, and with both hands held one of Re neau's hands, which she and w. T. Tucker, attorney in room No. Il of the Fulk building, swore held gun.
 She testified that Reneau started the trouble in the office by knocking greer to his knees, and further testi- fled that Reneau then seized a gun belonging to Greer, which was iylhg on the table. She told the coroners iury that immediately after Reneau seized the gun, she grabbed the hand holding the weapon and struggled to keep him from using it. She swore that she did not see Greer staD Reneau: that she did not see the
