KUHIO WRITES

Editor Evening Bulletins:
| have again called at the Postofrlce
Department and conferred with Post
master General Meyer to secure II
possible by further negotiations the
privilege Of two-cent postage under
the new mail treaty.
In the first ,place IT. should be
clearly understood that Hawaii was
not excluded from the treaty under
the apprehension that she was not a
Territory. The simple proposition
was that England would not extend
the privileges OF the treaty outside OF
continental North America because
the United States would not concede
the privilege to any OF the detached
portions OF the British Empire.
II was, OF course, that basis OF lin
itation which gave the reduced rate
to- Alaska while excluding Hawaii,
and not any Misrepresentation as TO
our Territorial status.
England especially urged the priv
ilege for Bermuda, because OF Its COM
parative nearness to our shores, but
as our Government would not assent
TO that, England insisted upon the
Limitation to the North American
mainland.

Julius ii. Pratt Dead.

Julius H. Pratt, who was known as
the father of the town, died at his
home in Montclair from old age. Mr..
Pratt was born at Meriden, Conn.
August L, 1921, and was educated in
the schools of the town. He was
graduated from Yale University in
1912. He moved to Montclair, then
known as West Bloomfield, in 1857.
The towns population then did not
reach 1000. He saw the advantages
OF West Bloomfield as a place of resi-
dence for New York City's business
men, and purchased large tracts of
land in the town. At a public meet
ing in 1860 Mr.. Pratt suggested that
the name of the town be changed to
Montclair, which was done. He
financed the building of the New York
and Greenwich Lake Railroad, now
part of the Erie system. He was a
leader in every enterprise connected
with the growth and betterment of
the town. He is survived by eight
children.

FATAL STORM SWEEPS SOUTH.
Thirty-seyen Deaths Are Known
Many More Feared.

Memphis, Tenn.-There is a known
death list of thirty-seven and an un-
confirmed report of thirteen other
lives lost, with scores seriously in
jured and property damage of a mill
ion dollars or more as the result of
the storm which swept Middle and
West Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia
and parts of Arkansas and South
Carolina.
The storm was the worst that has
visited this section of the South in
years. Halves of counties were laid
waste, towns DESTROYED and planta-
tions greatly damaged.
The list of reported dead follows:
Denmark, Tenn, 1; Mulberry, Tenn,
l.; Stantonville, Tenn, IS %(uncon-
firmed); Pittsburg Landing, Tenn,
6; near S~tanlerville, g.; near Carriers
vile, Ca, 2; Scottsboro, Ala, 4;
Wyeth Cove. Ala, 8; Stanton. Tenn.
/; Nixon, Tenn, 5; near Marmaduke,
Ark, /.
The storm assumed the proportions
of a West Indian hurricane, and the
wind attained a maximum velocity of
ninety miles an hour.
While only one death occurred at
Denmark, Tenn. the damage by the
storm was completed by a fire which
started in the ruins and consumed the
remaining few dwellings and store
houses. Two hundred persons were
made homeless, and have appealed to
neighboring towns for immediate aid.
The storm did great damage at
Parsons, Tenn. Andrew ]. Banks and
his entire family of seven we're killed

TWO ACCUSED OF MURDER
Chauffeur and Herb Doctor Held
in Tiyerton Case.
Amelia st. Jeans Parents Unable tt
Identify Portions Of Body, and
Head is Still Missing.

Fall River, Mass.-The charge of
murder against Wilfrid Thibeault, a
chauffeur, and Frank Hill, an "herb
DOCTOR" both Of this city, was the de-
velopment in the tragedy of finding
portions of a young woman's body in
Tiverton, R. l. Both men pleaded not
guilty.
The autopsy disclosed sufficient
evidence to hold both. The Fall Riv-
err police allege that Thibeault and
Hill had been consulted by Amelia st.
Jean, a young woman who disap-
peared from this city a week ago..
The strongest reason for thinking
Miss st. Jean was the victim is the
Identification of a bundle of clothing,
which was found in Mount Hope Bay,
as the clothing borrowed by Miss St.
Jean from her aunt, Mrs. Eva Lemer-
ieux, of this city, and worn by her
when she was last seen.
The girls parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
John st. Jean, were unable to identify
positively the portions of a body in
the custody of the Medical Examiner
at Tiverton, but 1t was the general be-
lief of those interested in the case
that a positive Identification would
be difficult, III not impossible in any
case, with the head missing.
The search for the head in the
swamp land along the Bulgermarsh
and Fish roads in Tiverton was CON
tinued without result. The dragging
of a portion of Mount Hope Bay of
Tabor Beach, near where the bundle
of clothing was found, likewise pro-
duced no clue. Unless the case should
take some unexpected turn it is i'm
probable that any definite progress
will be made toward solving the mys-
terry until the head of the murdered
girl is found.

PROFESSOR FERRER
IS PUT TO DEATH
Shot at Barcelona by a Platoon
of Soldiers.
CONDEMNED FOR lNclTING RIOTS
King Alfonso Ignores Appeal Made by
Daughter Of Accused-Case En-
gagged the Attention of All Euro
pean Nations.

Madrid, Spain.-Professor Fran
cisco Ferrer. the Anarchist who was
condemned to death for melting the
Barcelona riots, was shot at Bar
celona.
Ferrer was informed of his fate by
b Minister of the Interior.
The execution took place in the
Montjuich Fortress. The condemned
man maintained perfect serenity, ex-
cept during the farewell interview
with his counsel. Then he was un-
able to control his feelings or over
come his emotion. The greatest pre-
caution had been taken all around the
castle to prevent a demonstration.
Not more than fifty persons were on
the hillside and no demonstration oc.
Cured.
The execution was carried out by
q platoon of infantry. Ferrer was
attended by two priests, but he re-
fused to take the sacrament.
Professor Francisco Ferrer, who
was formerly director of the Modern
School of Barcelona, was arrested OH
September 1 blythe Spanish Govern
ment on the charge of being a noted
Anarchist and of being directly re-
sponsible for the serious rioting in
Barcelona last summer. Ferrer bad
been arrested once before, in 1906,
on a charge of completely with~Manuel
Morales in an attempt upon King AL
fonso's life at the time of the Kings
marriage, but of this charge he was
acquitted.
~. 4
During his hearing after his last
arrest F'errer was not permitted to
testify. Neither did the greater part
Of the witnesses have a verbal hear
ing, most of their dispositions being
taken outside and then read in court.
Many discriminating documents were
submitted by the prosecutor. Fer
rer's counsel declared that his client
was a victim of the hatred Of the
Conservatives.
Ferrer was sentenced to be shot,
and Immediately Anarchists and So
cialists, all over Europe, were reused
to action. In Paris and Rome espe-
cially thei,- meetings took on a threat
ening tone and police and military
were called out to hold them in check.
So great was the agitation that it
was at first thought that King Alfonso
would yield to pressure and mitigate
the death sentence to one of life i'm
~prisonment.
In the hope of such Communication
Ferrer's daughter sent a touching ap-
peal to the King by telegraph, i'm
ploring himsin the name of generosity
and chiyalry to spare her fathers life.
1t was announced that the Spanish
Cabinet had approved the sentence
and that he would be shot. The
Cabinets resolution contained the de-
cision that there was no reason to
recommend the King to pardon
Ferrer.
