MARTIN SOUNDS WARNING
ON HARB0R CONSPIRACY
Republican Legislators Would Put Los
Angeles Seaport Into Hands of
Railroads if Commission
Scheme Succeeds

George C. Martin the Democratic
candidate for the assembly from the
Seventy first district, made a straight
talk to Sixth ward voters last night
at San Pedro hall on the record of
some of the Republican candidates
who were in the last legislature. He
said:
1--WE have only to offer the same
arguments against such politician as
Mr. Stanton that were presented by
the speakers for the Lincoln -Roose-
Welt Republican league during the
campaign made by that organization
in the fight made for clean legislators
before the last primaries.
I'VE have taken pains to put in the
hands of all the voters the records
Of the last legislature, and it is GER

tainly up to the people to exercise
their best judgment when they come
to the polls next November.
1--WE are fighting hard for a seaport
for Los Angeles, and we have a propo-
sition to put the harbor fight into
the hands of a harbor commission to
be appointed by the governor
Such procedure would put us di-
rectly into the hands of the railroads.
and it should be opposed with all the
energy of the community.
IF we trust our harbor fight into
the hands of Harmon, Leeds, Stan
ton and Transue, the men who voted
for the bills in the last legislature to
increase the powers of the railroad
commissioners, we must not complain
that our hopes have gone glimmer-

Bryan Says Certain Plank
Must Be in Platform
or He Quits

Lincoln, Neb., July 3.-Bryan, in a
speech before the Nebraska Travelling
Mems club tonight, made a -signifi-
cant statement that unless the Den
yer convention incorporated in the
platform the campaign contribution
publicity plank it might look else
where than to Nebraska for a candi-
date for president. The declaration
was made in connection with the dis
cussion he INDUCED in regarding the
action of the Republican convention
in failing to insert such plank and
was made with a sincerity that left
no doubt in the minds of his hearers
that he meant all he said.
Mr.. Bryan was the last speaker on
the program and did not begin his
address until nearly midnight.
Mr.. Bryan took occasion to say that
the platform would be written by
the resolutions committee and not by
him, although he would insist on GER
tain planks being inserted in case he
was nominated. Is

FELL FROM BRAKE BEAM
AT LAkoTA AND KILLED

Lakota, July 3.-While stealing a
ride on the west bound Oriental Linn
tied train, on the Great Northern,
Fred H. Brown, mulatto, 10 years of
age, was killed almost instantly by
falling from a position between the
baggage and mail car at 2 o'clock this
morning. The accident happened just
as the train was passing the station
platform and was witnessed by a rail-
road man. The unfortunate man lived
about two minutes. His body was hor-
ribly mutilated. His mother, col
ored woman, is believed to be the ex-
wife of Walker Whitehead, who has
some pugilistic fame.

modification Of the law relating to
injunctions as will prevent the issue
of writs in Industrial disputes with
out notice and full hearings; permit
trial by judge other than the one
issuing the writ, and providing for
trial by jury where the alleged con-
tempt is committed outside the pres
ence of the court. He did not be-
lieve that Mr. Bryan would insist
on that far, nor that the convention
would accept such plank, even if
Mr.. Bryan should insist. Until a
caucus has been held by the New
York delegation, it cannot be said
positively that Judge Parker will be
a member of the committee on reso-
lutions from the Empire state, but
friends of the judge expect that he
will be chosen. &s.. - ~.
Neither Judge Parker nor Mr. Shee-
han have made any effort to disguise
the fact that they would prefer to
have almost any Democrat nominated
for president than Bryan, but he de-
MED that they had come to Denver
with knives up their sleeves for the
Nebraskan." Mr.. Sheehan said that
he had come several days before
the convention to look over the

was found that the nomination of
Mr.. Bryan is inevitable they will do
their utmost to have adopted a plat
form which would not eliminate the
eastern, or what has been known for
several years as the Cleveland Dem
ocrats." He and other eastern Dem
ocrats do not favor the Nebraska
anti-injunction plank, which they
think spells defeat for the Democrat
ic ticket in the east. ~ gag

last evening at half-past seven at the

The deceased, who leaves several

the business of the court nor of any
officer appointed by the court so long
as their legal representatives are
known and come into court as was done
in the proper manner in this case.
No one has ever claimed that the
acts of the Judge constitute crime
nor even misdemeanor but if they do
not constitute gross malfeasance in of
fee then we would like to have some
legal light tell us what it is.
Some years ago George Hons, one of
the brightest and most able attorneys
of the Territory, put a clause in his
will to the effect that his estate was
not to be- probated before well
known Judge, who was then very much
in the lime light. What he would do
at the present time if he were alive
and were to write his will here is, Of
course, unknown.
1t rs notorious fact that more es.
tates have been robbed in this county
than in any place under the Stars and
Stripes. Whole estates have vanished
into thin air while the administrators
and others have reveled in the rich
spoils.
Innocent Hawaiian heirs have suffer
ed most for in their lack of technical
legal knowledge, they have allowed
their estates to be taken away from
them and knew not to whom they
should turn to get justice.
1t is less than one year ago that Rev.
s. Kapu, administrator of the estate
of William Cooper, admitted to the edi-
tor of this paper that he was short in
his accounts to the extent of over six
hundred dollars, and what has been
donea The old story. There are many
of these and no effort made to bring
the guilty parties to justice.
Every father has right to expect
that in case of his death those depend.
ant upon him shall receive a speedy
settlement of his estate and an admin,
istration of the estate to the best ad-
vantage of his loved ones and when a
judge will so far overstep the bounds
of justice that he will not only allow
the funds of an estate withheld from
destitute children of tender years but
profit by the funds that are practically
in his charge, he must not expect any,
thing but condemnation at the hands
of every man who has an atom of
honor, and speedy removal from Of
fee at the hands of the highest author
tiles of the executive branch of our
government.

THE DEMOCRATS
At AALA PARK
They Welcome Delegates Back
From the Denver Con-
vention.

The land law plank in the national
Democratic platform was praised last
evening at the Aala Park meeting of
Democrats as one of the most import
ant eon1aittals that ever appeared in
either Democratic or Republican plat
form. Incidentally, the meeting was
occasion for an expression of thanks
to the Democratic delegates from Ha-
waii who went to the convention and
worked TO interest mainlanders in this
Territory
The meeting. which was hurriedly
announced, was fairly well attended,
and plenty of enthusiasm was shown
throughout. Supervisor Joe Fern pre-
sided, and the speakers included Dele
gates Frank R. Harvey and E. M. Wat
son, Fred Turrill, c. W. Ashford, L.
i. McCandless and Col. C. J. Mccarthy.
Mr.. Watson, the first speaker, said
that it was not an occasion for real
political speeches. They would come
later on in the campaign. He felt that
mainlanders were glad the Hawaiian
delegates had attended the convention.
The delegates were taken care of by
the California Democrats, who convey.
ed them to Denver in their special ear.
Local Democrats had asked the dele
gates to obtain some relief, if possible,
in the matter of the land laws for Ha
waii. The lands were all going to the
sugar plantations, and the people, in
general. were unable to get footing
for themselves as bona fde settlers.
That was the greatest question the is
ianders could bring before the eonven-
tion, and the assistance of the conven
tion was asked. The delegates worked
in this regard for the welfare of Ha-
waii. They called on Bryan s brother,
explained to him how the people here
were suffering under the present land
system, how an island had been sold
entire to one man, how the poor man
had no chance to get home, and that
Hawaii was the only spot in the United
States where the United States land
laws did not apply.

chairman of the platform committee,
and they saw him, as well as most of
its members
ssWe accomplished what we set out
to do, - said Mr. Watson. 'fThat plank
was placed in the Democratic plat
form, and you may be sure that if
the Democratic party elects its candi-
date that it will enact law in accord
ance with our desires.''
He then went into details about the
convention and incidents in which the
Hawaiian delegates participated, such
as Coke parading the Hawaii banner
for one hour and thirty minutes until
his hands were blistered, during which
