LANGDON GIVES LIE
TOATTACkON HENEY
Refutes Anonymous Charge
That Candidate Gave Brown
Immunity Bath

In reply to the anonymous circular
was made TO connect Francis ]. Heney
with the prosecution Of the case of j.
Dalzen Brown. former manager OF the
California safe deposit and trust com
pany, District Attorney Langdon has
issued signed statement setting forth
case.
Langdon denounces the anonymous
circular as a malicious and willful at
tempt to create an unjust prejudice
against Heney and cloud the real issues
of the campaign for the district attor-
neyship. He sets forth that the prose-
cution Of the bank cases has nothing TO
do with the real issues of the cam
paign. and that Francis j. Heney had
absolutely nothing to do with the pros
ecution Of the bank cases, nor any
other matters outside of the graft
cases. Langdon insists that the bank
cases were conducted solely by Assist
ant District Attorney William Hoff
Cook and points out evidence to show
that Walter J. Bartnett was the arch
criminal in the conspiracy that wrecked
the bank, and that Brown acted only
under his direction.
Langdon declares that when Browns
case was called for trial the defendant
pleaded guilty. and that in return for
his compliance with certain require
ments imposed by the district attor-
ney's office further cases against him
were dropped. These requirements
were that he furnish the district attor-
ney with copy Of a secret cipher code
making possible a translation of let
ters. and kilograms which passed be-
tween him and Bartnett and TreadweIl; =
that he deliver all papers in his pos
session to the prosecution, that he
make a full confession before the grand
jury and that he apear as a witness
whenever called upon. He did all these
things and was sentenced to Is months
in San Quentin, which he served
In accordance with his agreement
Brown testified against Bartnett and.
the latter was convicted and sentenced
to 10 years. Langdon declares that
this conviction could not have been Sc
cured without Browns testimony.
Brown, he declares, is also to be the
chief witness for the state in the
Treadwen trial, which is set for No
vember Is.
Asserting that the attack upon Heney
was made in bad faith, Langdon calls
attention to letter sent him in Au-
gust, appealing to him to drop all
charges against Bartnett This letter
was signed by several of the most
prominent attorneys for Ruef, Schmitz
Calhoun and others under Indictment
Langdon declares that among those
who. signed it were: Garret w. Nc

in regard TO the conviction of j. Dali
zelI Brown

the Brown case, explaining that he
personally had nothing TO do with the
prosecution, but that Brown himself
turned states evidence. and by his
testimony secured the conviction Of
Walter J. Bsrtnett, the bank official
primarily responsible for the wreck,
who could not have been. reached with
out Browns testimony. I9eney also
pointed out that IL was Browns teS-
timony which reached to James

charged Fickert with being -respon-
sible for the attempt TO justify The

The Cord Of Life.
The Dramatic Mirror says of the film
bv this name to be shown at the Park
open air theater tonight: Seldom
have we seen picture that approaches
this one in thrilling intensity without
overacting and without gruesome de-
tails. The people in the picture hardly
appear to be actors at all. They are
real people, so far as the spectator is
able to see, and this, we consider, the
highest praise we can pay to moving
picture acting"
The Cord of Life deals with members
of the Black Hand, one of whom being
refused money decides upon revenge
through the baby child of his intended
victim. He puts the little one in a
basket during, the absence of the pa
rcrte from the home and suspends it
by a cord from the window of their
room in the fifth story of a building.
1t is so arranged that when the window
is raised the basket and contents will
fall to the ground. Afterward the vii
lain tells the father, whom he meets
on the street. what he has done. The
mother returns to the house and several
times goes to the window for the pur-
pose of raising it and each time her
attention is attracted by omething
Finally the father returns and the baby
is recovered in a most sensational man
ner. There is no killing. no bloodshed
in the picture, but enough thrilling in
terest to keep the people on the anxious
bench while it is being shown. There
will be patriotic songs by the Mel
notte sisters and George Milne will
sing patriotic song to illustrated
slides. In addition there will be slides
showing the marines and the Goth In
fantry on the march and other pictures
and a French comedy that will make
rood Last week was the largest in
point of attendance and financial re-
turns, the Park has ever had. So much
for running unobieetionahle pictures.

jill BITTERLY
ATTACKS UYENO
BIames the Consul General for
Japanese PiIikia and the
Strike Failure.

Indictments may come and trials NAV
go but the Nippu Jill goes on forever
in its campaign of vilifcation. Just
at the present time it is attacking
Consul General Uyeno, having put the
Consul for the time being in the place
of archconspirator, so long devoted to
Editor Sheba. The consular represent
ative of Japan is blamed for many
things, among them the fact that Ad-
miral Ijiehi administered singing
snub to the Jill and the cause it is
espousing. In its issue of Saturday
last, after comparing Mr.. Uyeno with
petty village official, the Jiji said
of him.
''Our Consul's duties should not be
confined to registering births and
deaths and giving certificates of resi-
dence. His duty should not be alone
to draw his pay, nor to spend his time
in driving himself in his carriage be-
tween his Nuuanu residence and the
Consulate. 1t is not part of his
duty, however, to run east and west
for the benefit of the Hawaiian plant
ers, nor to ignore the good reputation
or the benefit of the japanese. It is
distinctly not his duty to follow blind
ly the advice of the planters dogs nor
to seek for the will of the master in
fear of being misunderstood by the
planters. In Consul Uyeno' s actions
we are dissatisfied. He is doing con-
trary to what we had hoped. His
course has been devious and he not on
ly disgraces himself and his position
but acts So as to disgrace the honor
of the Empire and harm the interests
of his country. He is endangering the
prosperity and welfare of the resident
Japanese and is acting in concert with
the dogs and pigs of the planters IN
trying to ruin the japanese
Further on in it's article, the Jill
says:
" At the banquet on the flagship, the
Consul advised the Admiral to exclude
the righteous men among the local Jap
anese and to admit the dogs and pigs
and the other Japanese who are act
ing as spies for the United States. It
is the fault of the Consul that the
squadron of honor has been disgraced
by the presence aboard the ships as
guests of such wretches.
An interesting thing about the Jill
news columns is the fact that they,
of all the japanese papers, violated
the condolences of the Admiral and
printed report of his dinner speeches.
Not only was confidence violated by
the Jiji's informant, but the reports
were SO colored as to make it appear
that the Admiral favored the Jill and
the cause of the strikers and condemn
ed the actions of the Shinpo and Chron-
icle, whose editors We're his guests.
The Jill has been given plenty of
rope, but the hanging has not advanced
to that stage yet where its wind is
being cut off.

ADJUSTMENTS
Fireworks and Magic.

Bridgewater and Fernandez, owners
of the Star Theater, will sign a con-
tract some time, today with Alla-ood-
Deem, recent arrival from India, who
is said to be one of the cleverest
sleight-of hand performers ever seen in
Honolulu. His engagement will be a
short one, however, as he is due in Seat
tie July 20. He will appear Tuesday
evening for the first time, and will give
exhibitions every night until his depar-
ture. The Star is the largest moving
picture theater in the city, having a
seating capacity of two thousand It
has stage 40x100 feet and the build
ing is so well ventilated that it is as
comfortable as an outdoor theater.
The management always has some new
speciality to offer the public between
pictures and, as the result, there is a
large crowd waiting for the doors to
open every evening. In addition to
the splendid program to be given to-
night, there will be fireworks from the
roof of the building at 9 o 'cleck. This
popular theater is situaed on Liliha and
Kukui streets.
