Republican Banquet.

The Association of Young Re-
p%ublicans of Missouri will give an
annual banquet in Kansas City at
the Baltimore hotel on February
IL, 1909. This occasion will be
particularly important, for it is
the one hundredth anniversary of
Lincoln's birthday. 1t is desire d
by the officers of this association
that this be a representative gath
ering of the Republicans of Mis-
souri,. Last year the association
had the honor of entertaining as
it's guest Honorable William H.
Taft, and the occasion was a
memorable one.
This year Governor Hadley will
be present and deliver an address.
The plan this year is to have a
strictly Missouri gathering. 1t is
desired that each member of the
organization of Republicans see
that a representative delegation
from each county in the state is
present to participate in the meet
ing. Republicans from all over
the state have heretofore attended
these gatherings, and while this
year the banquet will be given at
the Baltimore hotel, and not so
many a be accommodated as
last year, it is desired that each
county in the state be represented.
The size of the banquet hall will
of necessity limit the attendance
to four hundred guests, and those
who desire to attend should imme-
diately signify the fact that they
will be present by writing to Chas.
H. Thompson, City Hall, Kansas
City, Missouri, enclosing to him
the sum of So. so, and the banquet
ticket will be sent to each Repub-
lican who desires to attend.

COUNTY COURT.
COURT.

THE suggestion of the Standard
Oil Company to the State of Mis-
souri, that this Commonwealth as
sumo, through trustees, the con-
troll of the company's business in
this State, is as unusual as it is in
~teresting and important. 1t is too
early to forecast an outcome or to
know much of precedent for such
a course. 1t is not too early, how
ever, to point that the Supreme
Court of this Great State and the
Legislature cannot afford to array
itself in company with Oklahoma
and Texas as an enemy to capital
and development. The Standard
Oil Company does not ask that the
$3.50, 900 fine against it be remitted
but it does request, and with reas-
on, that the great industry at Su-
gar Creek, where the Standard re-
inery is located, be not driven
from this State. We hope that
the Court and the Legislature will
see to it that no one of the sources
of employment for honest labor is
excluded from Mis souri territory.

ATCHERLEY ORDERED
BACK To THE ASYLUM

DIR. John Atcherley's attempt to es-
cape from the 'care, custody and con.
troll" of DR.. Peterson, superintendent
of the insane asylum, did not meet with
success yesterday, although he had the
services of Attorney I. NJ. Harrison as
his representative in the proceedings
before Circuit Judge Robinson.
The nearing was on the return on the
writ of habeas corpus which was grant
ed by Judge De Bolt. Attorney Harri-
son appeared to be in good legal form,
although he said that he did not feel
able to indulge in any lengthy argu-
ment on the general merits OF the case,
but insisted that hrs client was entitled
to have his sanity tested before Jury
of twelve men.
The Territory was represented by At
torney-General Hemenway and City and
County Attorney Cathcart, and they
took the ground that the commitment
of Atcherley to the asylum was entire
ly legal and that even if the law cover.

Legislature, was declared unconstitu
tional the former law would then be
come operative, and under which tn,
District Magistrate possessed the sam,
powers as by the new law.
Judge Robinson stated that he dit
not have any doubt about the new stat
ute being constitutional, and concurreC
in the views expressed by counsel TO
the Territory that the rights of DR.
Atcherley on appeal would be conserv
ed by depositing bond ard notice o
appeal to a jury in the Circuit Court
After Judge Robinson had rendered
his oral decision yesterday, Mrs. Atch

on his return that the protest of Mrs
Atcherley was utterly without founda

FREAR FAVORS
TRYING THE
RUSSIANS

Governor Frcar is favorable to an
experiment with Russian immigration
for plantation labor and he heiieves that
there is strong possibility that it
would turn out successfully, although he
SAYS that the wisest course to pursue
will be to bring a comparatively small
number of Russians to the Territory in
the beginning so that in the event of
their failure to qualify as dependable
laborers the problem can be easily dis
posed Of
In speaking of the proposal of Mr..
perelstrOus to bring a number of his
eountrymen to the Territory, Governor
Frear referred TO the failure of the
Molokan experiment as an example of
the wisdom of beginning in small mum.
bers at first.
The Governor intimated that he did
not recognize the existence of any
obstacle that would prevent the bring
ing of Russians to the Territory in
large numbers in the event that they
proved able to meet the needs of plan
ration labor. He apparently does moi
attach any importance to the report
that there is hostile public sentiment
TO the bringing of Russian immigrants
to Hawaii.
Perelstrous did not leave on his pro
ieeted trip to Hawaii yesterday. After
a conference with members of the
Board of Immigration he concluded tC
postpone his journey for the present
Should his project meet with favor, he
will leave for Russia at once and make
the Hawaii trip ON his return.

LETTER FROM BAKERS

Raymond NJ. Baker, confessed biga.

wagon, on his way from the Oahu Prison

Attorney Breckons.
Among his mail that arrived on the
Alameda yesterday Mr.. Breckons found

yards Company and it was to read it
that Baker was brought from Oahu
Prison to the Judiciary building
District Attorney Breckons said that
in the letter the father acknowledged
the waywardness of his son and stated
that he had always been hard to con
trol from his earliest boyhood. While
no direct appeal was made for leniency,
the letter was written in a way that
showed the young man still has the
best wishes of his father.
Breckons says that there was moth
ing in the letter that tended to indi'
cate desire upon the part of Baker
senior to come to the financial assist
ance of his son, something that the
young man has been looking forward to
for some time.

OPIUM CURE IS
BEING IMPORTED

The opium cure importations of Ha.
waii are rapidly assuming an important
aspect, according to customs officials.
During the last few months the i'm.
portations have increased rapidly, until
now the shipments are regularly look.
ed for by the collectors of revenue.
The cure imported is nearly all of
one kind, that introduced by the Anti.
Opium League of China. The league
has been carrying on its work in Ha-
waii for some time past, and the in
spectors long ago became acquainted
with the little packages which contain
the deadliest known enemy of the dead
liest habit with which man is afflicted.
But whereas the cure formerly came
in single parcels, it is now coming in
case lots.
This cure is distributed free by the
Anti-Opium League in China, and it is
understood that the same course of
procedure is being followed here. The
customs authorities prophesy that if the
cure is really efficacious, there will be
very little demand for the essense of
the poppy in Hawaii in the near future

LANTERS AGREE
TO TRY RUSSIANS
(From Sundays Advertiser. }


That Russian immigrants will be Civ.
en- a chance here is assured. The
Planters Association yesterday asked
the Board of immigration to bring in
forty families and steps will at once
be taken to comply with the request.
This means that A. w. Perelstrous,
the Nladivostok contractor who is now
visiting here, will leave for the Orient,
probably by the next steamer, to make
the necessary arrangements. Expect
ing some such action on the part of the
the planters, Perelstrous delayed his
projected Hawaii trip Friday, in order
that he might be at hand.
Friday Secretary Atkinson of the
Board of immigration said: "We are
only waiting requests for Russian la
borers that will justify us in bringing
them here. The matter is up to the
employers.
The Hawaiian Development Company
has already expressed a desire to try
sixty families, so it is probable that
the first lot of immigrants will consist
of 100 families.
Some time ago the labor committee
of the Planters Association talked the
matter over with Perelstrous,, and it is
understood that favorable report was
made to the executive committee Of the
association.
The first immigrants will be brought
from Hardin. They can be transported
from there to the port of embarkation
for $3.50 each. Thus the greatest item
of expense will be the steamer fares
from the Orient here. 1t is therefore
felt that the experiment can be made
at very reasonable cost to the Terri.

the same as that with which Maxine

Negoro and Maxine to help him out
