where WAS king
KALAkAUA BORN?

Strange things are matter OF
course In tac Executive building, and
only yesterday an incident occurred
which bears out the above statement.
Two strangers were shown through
the Throne-rOom, and while they
were inside, one of them asked where
the picture of King Kalakaua might
be seen, stating that Hawaii's last
king was born In Boston, Mass. The
stranger could not be convinced that
he was not right at that time. so In
duiry was made of Governor Frear
and John +. Colburn.
Governor Frear has spent the great
or part of his life In the Islands, and
he stated that to his best knowledge
and belief King Kalakaua was born
at place called Kaawaloa, District
of Kona, Island of Hawaii. John T.
C0lburn, who has charge Of the Ka-
piolani Estate, which came down
through the Kalakaua family, sub
stantiatcd the statement of Governor
k'rear.
So II seems, after all. that tho last
king of Hawaii was born on these
Islands, and not in the Hub.

PITTSBURG.y Pa, Aug 12.-Harry X
Thaw was formally adjudged a bankrupt
at II o'clock today by Referee in Bank
ruptcy w. r. Blair The action was a sur
prise to those interested in the case, as
United States Commissioner William T.
Lindsey had set August 21 as the date for
the adjudication. No explanation Of the
change Of plans and this mornings action
has been made, but It is believed here that
Receiver Roger o'Mara's visit to Thaw at

something to do with todays move. O'Mara
was hurriedly summoned by Thaw on Mon
day. No hearing was held previous to the
entering OF the formal order Of adjudica-
tion, and Referee Blair has not announced

JOHNSON FOR THIRD TERM
Minnesota Democrats May Name Him
Despite His Refusal to
Run.

ST PAUL, Mimi, Aug. 12.-Democratlc
primaries, to elect delegates to the county
convention, which in turn will elect dele
gates to the state convention, will be held
in every county in the state this evening.
The county conventions will be held to-
morrow and the state convention will he
held in Minneapolis August 10. There will
be contests for many of the state Offices
Governor Johnson will probably be the
party's choice for the gubernational nomi-
nation, but as he has repeatedly stated
that he is not a candidate for third term
1t is unlikely that his name will be placed
before the convention.
The gubernational nominee Is expected to
be either Congressman w. S. Hammond Of
St. James or Mayor j. G. Armson of Still
water, with the chances in favor of the
former.
Frank A. Day, chairman of the state
central committee, stated today that the
split in the party caused by the Johnson
Bryan fight has been patched up and that
all the democrats in the state would sup
port the party's nominee.
The republicans. on the other hand, de-
clare that the wound had not been healed
and that Governor Johnson will be put
forward, in spite OF his declaration against
the third term, as the democrats only
hope of victory.
