AGITATORS CALLING
FOR A MASS NEE TING

Half a dozen newsboys and others
were busy meeting the street cars at
the corner of Beretania and Alakea
streets. yesterday afternoon and dis
tributing handbills, calling for meet
ing of Hawaiians on Saturday night at
Aala Park to denounce the Board of
Health, the Federal physicians in
charge of the leprosarium work, and
others. The bills stated that Mary II.
Atcherley would address the meeting
and lead the proceedings in the inter
ests of DR.. John Atcherley, whose
best remedies the bill says, have
been refused by the@Board of Health
One newsboy stated that the bills
had been given him to distribute by
the Ateherleys."
The statement is made in the bill,
both in English and Hawaiian, that the
'1imb-chopping' of DR.. Wayson and
Dr. Brinckerhoff had resulted in pa
tients being sent to Kalaupapa, and
it is probable that the physicians thus
named in this connection viii take
steps to bring the originators of the
statement to account.

MORGAN F OR
BUSINESS
MAYOR
Being Urged to Rum
Hughes, Second
Choice.

James T. Morgan, business man, the
business mems choice for the nrst
Mayor of Honolulu.
John Hughes, member of the Legis-
lature, skilled mechanic, alternate.
This is what the business community
is talking. Mr.. Morgan will be urged
to accept nomination for the Repub-
lican candidateship and allow his name
to go before the convention. Should
he decide, however, that his health will
not allow him to accept, Hon. John
Hughes viii be asked to make the con-
test.
The business community has awak-
ened to the fact that the man who
holds the position of Mayor of Homo
lulu will be able to do much to help
or hinder the progress of the city and
the growth of business, having the
power to direct practically the whole
course of the county government under
the act.
A canvass has been made of the
available men whom the business COM
munity might get behind and there has
been a list drawn Lp of possible can
didates not already mentioned. Among
the names talked of are: F. w. Mac
farlane, Mark P. Robinson, E. Tenney
Peck, w. E. Dillingham;, Fl. E. Cooper,
Marston Campbell, j. A. McCandless,
J. p. Cooke, r. I'll. Trent, George w.
Smith, w. A. Kinney, G. J. Waller.
Business Men in Session.
That the name of James F. Morgan
is being seriously considered for the
mayoralty chair is shown by the atti-
tude of the business element, many of
whom have discussed his candidacy in
the hope that Mr.. Morgan might see
his way clear to consent to having his
name used in the Republican conven-
tion. It is not so long ago that a
meeting of business men was held, to
which Mr.. Morgan was invited, and
the proposition of putting up a strong
man of the business community ad-
vanced, strong man who would in
spire confidence among the voters, and
one who could cement whatever fac
tions there might be in the party, fac

Majority of Peoples Party Rebuff
commoner's Adherents--Watso
Says Convention Held
Too early

BY Associated Press.
ST. LOUIS, April Friends of Will
liam ]. Bryan today made earnest but
unsuccessful efforts to influence in his
favor the action of the Populist ma
tional convention. which will meet here
tomorrow.
The majority of the members of the
Peoples party, and the various re-
form organizations which will partici-
pate in the convention, rebuffed the
Bryan people at every turn. They also
refused to classify Bryan as anything
but a Democrat who has no right to
participate in the councils of the Pop
ulist party or to receive consideration
at it's hands.
Everywhere repulsed, the Bryanites
will carry the fight into the conven-
tion as a last resort. Their demand
was for a postponement of the con-
vention. They declared that in their
opinion the nomination of candidates
at the present time is premature and
that 1t would be wisdom to await the
action of the Republican and Demo-
cratic conventions before placing a
ticket in the field.
They admitted that they are in q
minority as compared to the western
men, but claimed to have letters from
Thomas e. Watson himself in which he
expressed Ln0 OplIllOH that IL was uI-
wise to hold tie convention at so early
a date.
The Watson men positively refused
to listen to any proposal for an ad-
journment.
General Jacob S. Coxey of Mount
Vernon, Ohio has been decided upon
for temporary chairman. For perma-
nent chairman, Frank E. Richey of
ST Louis has been decided upon.
There seems to be no doubt that
Thomas e. Watson of Georgia will be
nominated for president. Judge Sam
uel w. williams of Vincennes. Ind. and
Frank E. Richey of st. Louis are the
only men mentioned for vice president
After the convention had been organ
lied and committees appointed an ad-
journment was taken until tomorrow
afternoon. when the platform will be
considered. The nomination of candi-
dates will hardly take place before
Friday.
1t is doubtful if the resolutions COM
mittee of any political party was ever
confronted by such a mass of planks
as has been showered upon that which
is preparing the platform for tomor-
rows convention. Every delegate
seems to be loaded down with them,
and they cover almost every conceiv-
able subject, from the national cur
rency down to plan to prevent New
York's -four hundred" from snug

WASHINGTON, April 1.-The trial of
the land fraud cases against Frederick
A. Hyde, John a. Benson, Henry p.
Dimond and Joost FL. Schneider, involv-
Ing an alleged conspiracy to defraud the
United States out of valuable lands in
several western states was begun here
today before Justice Stafford in crin1-
inaI court No. 1.
Upward of 200 witnesses from four
teen states in the west where the al
legged fraudulent requirement of lands
was effected are here for the trial. This
case has been on the dockets of the
court here and in California for the past
four years, the trial having been post
poned from time to time.
One of the delays-was caused because
of lack of funds to pay witness fees
and other expenses An appropriation
of $4,000 was made by congress at its
present session to cover the cost of the
trial. 1t is believed that the trial will
continue for at least three months. The
indictments against the four men
charge conspiracy Matched in this city
in 1901 to defraud the United States out
of many thousands of acres of public
lands in the west.
1t is alleged that these men. operat-
ing through the names of fictitious per-
sons, acquired school lands in Oregon
and California by false entries and
forged signatures by entries later trans
ferred with the help of informatio
from subsidized clerks in the general
land Office. Benson, who is San Fran
cisco millionaire, resisted extradition
from California. as did his co-defend-
ants. who are alleged to have done the
actual work of the field and later car
ried the case to the United States su-
preme court, where a decision unfavor-
able to them was handed down.

land office at the time and later rep
resentative in congress from Oregon.
sent Special Agents Helsinger and Ma
gee out west to investigate. The re-
port was submitted to Hermann, who,
1t is alleged, held it up until finally it
was brought to the attention of former
Secretary of the Interior Hitchcock by

partnlent OF justice ON the case. Their
findings led to the indictments.

len, once known as the ''wickedest
man in New York. died at his home,
II West Eighth street, late tonight.
'erhe," twenty years ago, kept the
Mabille dance hall on Blocker street,
from which one could toss a biscuit
into police headquarters. Later he
was the proprietor Of various resorts.
Of later years Allen kept a pool
room on lower Sixth avenue, which
former Captain Chapman raided, "
tried to raid, twenty times. Allea
defended the poolroom windows with
steel bars. He had been conspicuous
in an attempt to prevent %pool-selline
on the race tracks.
One of the dead mans brothers

his belief that THE" had died as tn,
result Of foul play. Allen was u
years old.
