OFFERS To
ABIDE THE RESULT

Mayor elect Joseph ]. Fern has filed
his answer to the election contest peti-
ton brought against him some time ago.
In the answer it is stated, as to those
paragraphs which set out that the peti.
TONERS are all registered voters and all
voted, that the defendant has no in.
formation which would enable him TO
affirm or deny this and therefore he
does neither. He does however declare
that there are no thirty of them resi-.
dent of any one election precinct with
in the meaning of the statute and that
therefore the court is without jurisdic.
tion to try the case. If however the
court decides that it has jurisdiction
the answer proceeds to deny cate
gorically every allegation of the peti.
tion upon which could be based a find.
ing that Lane and not Fern was
elected.
Taking up the allegations as to each
precinct wherein it is alleged that Lane
received more votes than the official
returns gave him, or Fern fewer, these
allegations are denied.
As to the allegations in regard to
the Fourteenth Precinct of the Fifth
District upon which the petition lays
such stress, the precinct in which the
petition charges Willie Crawford with
such Machiavellian industry, consider.
able space is devoted to this. As to
all that part of this paragraph in which
it is alleged that Crawford influenced
Chinese voters who intended to vote for
Lane to vote for Achi, the answer says
it is irrelevant and scandalous and asks
that it be stricken from the record
The answer then proceeds to deny
that in this precinct votes cast for Lane
were illegally rejected or counted for
Fern, or that votes illegally cast for
Fern were counted for him, or that the
actual result was different from that
of the official return. 1t is denied on
information and belief that Crawford
kept the tally sheet falsely or fraudu.
lently or incorrectly, or that he pretend.
ed to tally for Lane when in fact he
simply ran his pencil through a mark
already there. 1t is denied on informa.
tion and belief that he was in any
place in connection with the polling
place that he did mot have a right to
be, but that he was appointed by the
County of Oahu to represent it at this
precinct polling place and his services
were accepted by the Inspectors of
Election.
In conclusion it is admitted for the
purposes of this contest that Lane re-
ceived only 21ss votes in all, as the
petition alleges, instead of 2212 given
him by the returns, but it is alleged
that Fern received 1920, and more. The
bill prays that the petition may be dis
missed, but in case the court holds that
there shall be recount in the pre-.
cincts in which the petition alleges
error, it prays that the votes cast for
Fern but illegally or enormously re.
jeeted may be counted for him and that
the determination of who was elected
shall abide the result.

CALL 1T A SMALL MATTER

JaPs Try to ~Smooth Over Attack on
American Consulate.
Picking, April L The American To-
cation here has received no informa-
ton regarding the invasion of the
American consulate at Mukden by
Japanese and the resultant encounter
between the Japanese and the native
staff OF the consulate. The Japanese
legation also was questioned and here
partial verification was obtained, to-
gether with expressions of regret that
such a Small matter" should have
been cabled to the United States An
official of the Japanese legation
quoted Japanese newspaper pub
lished in Mukden as saying that Will
lard D. Straight, the American consul
general there, was an excitable man,
given to exaggerating trifes and diff
cult to deal with. Otherwise the le-
cation minimized the occurrence and
deplored it.
A court of inquiry has been ordered
by M. Kato, the Japanese consul gen
eral at Mukden, and full report will
not be submitted to either Washing
ton Or the king pending the report of
this court. 1t is hoped that this in
vestigation will lead to an acceptable
explanation and proper reparation.

BITTER CONTEST AHEAD.
Saloonmen and Ants Seek Control of

Sa!oonmen and Ants Seek Control OF

proclaiming that Tuesdays terrific sa.
loon combat was a mere skirmish and
that the heavy artillery will begin
booming Immediately all over I'LL.
nois. e----.-..-
The aspect of the election returns
varies, the only point of agreement be-
tween the Anti-Saloon league on the
one hand and the liquor allies on the
other being that both sides are to
initiate at once unyielding strife for
the control of the next Illinois gen
eral assembly.
The saloon leaders plainly state that
they will exercise every influence and
bend every endeavor to induce the
legislature to:
Repeal the local option law.
Repeal the Sunday closing law as
applying to Chicago and the larger
cities.
The local option forces, on their
part, will fight quite as .determinedly
to retain what they now have in the
way Of laws.

FIVE KILLED in COLLISION
Funeral Carriage Struck by Electric
Train Near Chicago. -

IRAN near CnlCago.
Chicago, April When an electric
train on the Chicago, Elgin and Au-
rora railroad struck a carriage, which
was part of a funeral procession, near
haywood four women were killed and
the driver so badly injured that he
died later. The dead are: Mrs. F.
Rohloff, sixty-five years old; Mrs. Paul
Rohloff, her daughter-in-law, twenty
nine years old; Mrs. Charles Dressed;
Mrs. Minnie Pottshoff, thirty-fve
years old, and Frank Newman. All
were residents of Chicago.
The carriage was cut in two and
the rear portion was carried several
hundred feet along the tracks before
the train could be stopped. The train
proceeded after the accident and the
first notice of the occurrence was re-
cefved from Wheaton, several miles
further west, when an official of the
railroad company telephoned to May
wood asking that ambulances be sent
to the scene.
When the undertakers arrived the
occupants of the other carriages were
caring for Newman and endeavoring
to extricate the mangled bodies from
the wrecked carriage.

COURT ORDERS AcQuI1TAL
Directed Verdict in Case of MICHIGAN
LEGISLATOR,

Detroit, Mich, April 1,!-Judge Con-
nelly, in the recorders court, has Or
dered a verdict of not guilty in the
case of Representative Charles E..
Ward, formerly of Bancroft, Mich,
who was charged with manslaughter
in connection with the death here
from an illegal operation on April 20,
1907, of Miss Edith Presley, proof
reader in the state senate at Lansing
Representative Wards trial began
March 81. On the conclusion of the
prosecutions case Wards attorneys
moved that the case be taken from
the jury and Ward discharged on the
ground that the prosecution had not
succeeded in proving the commission
of crime, nor connecting him In any
way with the crime which they allege
to have been committed. Judge Con-
nelly's action followed. e
1t is taken for granted that the
manslaughter charge against Dr.
George R. Fritch of this city in con-
nection with Miss Presley's death will
now be dropped.

ENEM|ESOF HUMANITY
President Urges Legislation for
Suppression Of Anarchists.
BRIEF MESSAGE ON SUBJECT

Executives Recommendation Accom-
pany Report of Attorney General
Bonaparte Reviewing the Legal
Phases of the Question.
Washington, April l In one of the
shortest messages which he has yet
transmitted to congress President
Roosevelt called the attention of that
body to the necessity for further legis-
lation on the subject of anarchy. With
the message he transmitted report
reviewing the legal phases of the
question by Attorney General Bona
parte. The president says:
when compared with the suppress
sion of anarchy every other question
sinks into insigniflcance The an
archist Is the enemy of humanity, the
enemy of all mankind and his is a
deeper degree of criminality than any
other. No paper published here or
abroad should be permitted circulation
in this country If it propagates an
archistic opinions"
Besides his direction to the post
master general to exclude from the
mails such publications as LA Cues
tone Sociale" President Roosevelt, in
letter to Attorney General Bona
parte asking for an opinion on the
legal phases of the subject, says he
has had the particular case called to
the attention of the governor of New
Jersey by Secretary Root that the gov
ernor may proceed under the state
laws.
The opinion Of the attorney general,
which the president transmits to con-
gress, embraces discussion of the
whole subject from many legal angles.
His first conclusion is that the article
In question, which advocates the use
Of arms and dynamite in annihilating
police and soldiers that anarchy may
prevail, constitutes a, "seditious libel"
and is undoubtedly crime at COM
mon law" ....'
He declares that there is no federal
statute which makes such publications
an offense against the United States
and that the federal courts conse-
quently have no jurisdiction in the
matter. That there Is full power in
the possession of congress, to make
such publications criminal, the attor-
ney general asserts, and quotes Chief
Justice Fuller of the supreme court
and Mr.. Justice Field as authority.
