them, and it is only by longing for
them that we are impelled to seek af-

after them that they become ours

week Friday for a two days session,
the advance guard arriving in the
midst of a downpour, but western

County Superintendent Lawrence
met all trains and looked after the
personal comfort of the educational
guests and it kept him full of bust
ness for a time, but he found shelter
for all until the clouds rolled by.
The opening session was held in
the court and a splendid audi
ence of home teachers and home peo-
pie were present to greet the visitors
and enjoy the program which opened
with music by the high school orches-

journed to the old Congregational
church where a splendid reception
was rendered the guests.

The Conviction OF Heggerty.

.aas8|T 7
A special term of court was held in
this city last Friday by Judge Jones
and John Heggerty plead guilty to
the charge of forgery in the third de-
gree, and he was given Is months in
the pe%nitentiary.
This is swift punishment for a
crime that was born of a desire for
whisky money. Through informa-
tion from peace officers Heggerty has
had narrow escapes from trouble here
tofore, but this a landed him. He
through a knowledge of crime in
duced Harry Siglar to help him, but
the LEADER believes, after informa-
tion and Investigation, that Harry
did not commit the act with the in
tention of committing a crime. Heg-
.gerty told him Mr.. Trip was sick
and he wanted some money and it
would be all right if Harry wrote out
the checks, as he. Heggerty, couldn't
write we'll. Harry is only 20 years
old and may not have realized the
seriousness Of the act, and that is the
view the LEADER takes of the matter
because Siglar did not share in the
proceeds or go to Sioux Falls for a
"time" as we had been informed he
did.
Last week we stated that Siglar
and Heggerty went to Sioux Falls for
a "time," but our information was
wrong. Siglar did not go to Sioux
Falls nor did he share in the proceeds
of the forgery, and was hard at work
at his trade when the officers found
him. This would Indicate to our
present view of the cas- that Siglar
was not conscious of the fact that he
had violated the law, led to believe so
from the cunning plea of Heggerty.
We do not believe any boy, heretofore
innocent Of crime, would knowingly
sign two five dollar checks, seeking no
profit or interest therein, and 70
about his regular business as If moth
ing wrong had been done. These are
briefly the facts in the case from one
who knows and from one who loves
the boy dearly, as only q mother can
love, and this is the LEADERS view
of the matter.
Justice would gain nothing by Sc
vere punishment Of tho boy. That
he contributed to the forgery, is true,
but his forgery would not have done
no harm had Heggerty not made the

AMERICANS Of
CHINESE BLOOD
Ten Thousand Certificates of
Citizenship to Be issued
Here.

Ten thousand certificates of citizen
ance to Hawaiian born and naturalized
Chinese at the Immigrant Station. In
spector in Charge r. C. Brown has been
a busy official lately handing out the
documents, and yesterday over three
hundred Chinese flowed into the corri-
dors and Offices to procure their papers.
Up to yesterday Mr.. Brown had issued
about 450 of the priced certificates, and
the rush is expected to continue for a
long time.
Those to whom the certificates are
given comprise not only males born
in the Hawaiian Islands, but females
also, and the list, including men natur-
allied under the Monarchy, swells the
number into the thousands. The fact
that a Hawaiian born male Chinese of
age possesses such a certificate entities
him to the privileges of the voting fran
chise equally with any other citizen.
1t also entities the possessor to travel
anywhere within the boundaries of the
United States.
The certificates issued by Mr.. Brown
are certificates of American citizen
ship. Secretary Straus authorized their
issuance With such a document in
hand, Chinese from Honolulu landing
at San Francisco will experience no
difficulty in passing through that port,
and will thereby be saved the humili-
alton heretofore experienced by being
compelled to undergo strict examina-
tion as to his or her right to enter the
mainland.
The certificates come from the Bu-
reau of Engraving and Printing at
Washington and are similar in shape
and appearance to a bank. check. A
photograph of the person to whom the
certificate is issued adorns the paper.
Mr. Brown will make tour of all the
Islands to receive applications for GER
tifcates and will be accompanied by an
official photographer, stenographer and
interpreter.

A wireless dispatch from r. Fl. Pat
chin, New York Herald correspondent
with the feet, received by the Barber 4
Point wireless station, gives the posi-
tion of the fleet at p. m., July q, as
3 degrees and % minutes north, 165
degrees and 10 minutes west; distant
from Honolulu 1850 miles.
Fine weather was being experienced
and the southeast trades had been en-
countered. That the southeast trades
should be encountered north of the
equator is not surprising at this season
of the year, though there is a general
impression that they are confined south
of the line. In the part of the Pacific
which the feet is now traversing, the
region of calms between the northeast
and the southeast trades is compare
lively narrow.
The receipt of this message from
distance of 1850 miles is testimony to
the efficiency of the instrument in ser
vice at Barber's Point and of the skill
Of the operator there. it demonstrates
the wide radius the wireless telegraph
company of these Islands will have
with its stations in communication
with vessels at sea.

PORTUGUESE PLOT FRUSTRATED.
WHERE THE FLEET WAS
WHEN LAST HEARD FROM

No wireless from the Aeet was re-
ceived last night at Bsrber's Point,
though this may not be because of the
distance of the feet, but because none
was sent. Monday night the Barber's
Point operator could hear the operator
on TIE Connecticut as he flashed out
with his apparatus that he didn't be-
lieve it was any use sending the mat
ter, as he did not think that Barber's
Point could hear him. II was the gen
eral belief in the fleet that il would
be ont Of communication with the world
from July y to July 30. On the lat
ter date it expected to establish com
munication. through the Gankton and
Glacier, with the cable at Suva.
Since the feet left here last Tuesday
night. up to p. M, July p, II had
Travelled a distance of 1850 miles, an
average Of 250 miles a day, though
the runs have been gradually shorten
ing for the last three days. Assuming
the feet to have sailed at the average
speed, at S p. m. last night it would
be 1900 miles from Honolulu, and as
suming its course TO remain unchanged
would be in about l degree south and
l67 degrees and II minutes west.
The Minnesota probably rejoined the
feet yesterday.
