He TOOK A SHOT At
AN ABUSIVE COOK

NJ. BrilIiante, a Filipino, is in custody
al the police station with a charge of
assault to murder against him. He
was arrested on complaint of Ben
Guerrero, at whom he took a shot with
a revolver yesterday afternoon on the
barkentine Irngard.
The trouble between the two men,
which eliminated in the shooting, is
a long story says the aggressor. Both
men are employed on the Irmgard.
which is loading sugar here for San
Francisco. Guerrero is the cook while
the Filipino is the cabin boy. The lat
ter claims that ever since he went
aboard the Irmgard to work he has
been abused by Guerrero who used to
delight in calling him vile names and
belittling him whenever he had a
chance. This made the last trip TO the
Coast a very uncomfortable one for the
cabin boy. The ship was a good one
to work on, however. and so he made
up his mind to stay by her Besides
being very abusive the cook exhibited
a revolver TO the cabin boy on the
way up to the Golden Gate. This
frightened Brilliante and he, too. sup
piled his kit with a revolver while in
San Francisco so as to be more on an
equal footing in armament with the
chief OF the galley.
Yesterday the cook was in re-
bad humor. says Brilliante,
and he threatened ali sorts Of things
and used disgusting language towards
the second in command in the cook
house, After lunch the cook went out
side the galley and sat down to rest
on a bench He must have doZed for
he says he was awakened by the sound
Of an explosion and opening his eyes
saw the Filipino approaching him with
smoking revolver in his hand. The
cook made rush for the shooter who
turned and ran throwing the revolver

When questioned at the police station
BrilIiante admitted that he fred the
shot but said that ne had done 50 to
srighten the cook and not with any
evil intent on his part. To murder

thought. The police did not believe the
story told and placed the charge Of

s|EMsEN, HAWAIIAN
THUG, To DIE JULY 81

SAN FRANCISCO, June 3.-,Tohn
Siemsen and Louis Dabner, the gaspipe
thugs who terrorized San Francisco dur
ing August and September, 1906, will
expiate their crimes by hanging on
July 81. Markedly changed in appear
ance from the Siemsen and Dabner who
were sentenced nearly eighteen months
ago, they were brought into Judge
Cook s court yesterday from San QUEEN
tin jail and the date for the execution
of the judgment, which had been affirm
ed by the Supreme Court, was fixed for
the last day of next month.
Without the culver of an eyelash
but with marked distress, the two men,
one after the other, listened TO the
words of the court that sealed their
fate. Siemsen looked like a wan old
man, he had lost twenty pounds in
weight, and his face wore a half fright
ened look as of a man haunted by fear
some recollections and the nearness of
death. He had grown a neat black
mustache. Dabner. the youth, was
much thinner than before His face was
so emaciated that his cheek bones stood
out prominently, but otherwise he was
not much changed.
Both men were heavily manacled as
they were led into the courtroom from
the sheriff s van by Under Sheriff Hag-
gerty and five deputies. Only Stem
sen s left hand was allowed to remain
free. Once seated behind the prison
er's bar, their shackles were removed
until the men were again taken out.
Throughout the proceedings Dabner
maintained silence, but his eyes never
left the judge. Just after the death
sentence had been pronounced and he
was standing to receive it. Siemsen in
terrupted eagerly q Your honor, one
minute,'' he said. .'Will you permit
ME to stay in the citv ten DAYS To-
THAT is matter entirely with the
sheriff, returned Judge Cook impas-
sively. Siemsen sat down hopelessly,
moistening his parched lips.
His attorneys, John j. Greedy and Al
Whelan, said Siemsen had prepared a
statement he wished read, but Judge
Cook refused to hear it.
In the statement Siemsen had set
forth that he had been wrongfully ac-
cused by Dabner to shield a brother,
and in revenge, and that Bischoff, the
star witness against him, was cold
blooded perjurer. He said the hope
never left him that Dabner would not
go to his death with lie on his lips.
A curious crowd of well-dressed peo-
pie thronged and struggled to get in
side the courtroom long before the pris-
oners arrived. SIX or seven women
tried to climb on chairs to get a glimpse
of the men, Men climbed on the win
dow sills outside and a morbid crowd
fought with each other for places in
the front line as the two murderers,
with hopelessness and distress show
ing on their faces. were escorted back
to the van in which they were to be
driven through the pleasant summer
sunshine back to the gloom of San
Quentin nenitentiary, where they viii

of Honolulu and the people OF Manila.
Our people have long had the idea
that Honolulu and it's people were not
as friendly to the Philippines and their
interests as they might have BEEN. Ar
ticles appearing in the Honolulu pa
pers at different times opposing the
granting of any legislation by Congress
favorable to these islands, have been
read here and commented upon. and
our people have some how formed the
impression that your views were not
in harmony with ours, and that your
people were opposed to the United
States government doing anything at
all for these islands.
