A jury was obtained early in this
mornings session of Judge De Bolts
court to try Tomikichi Mori for at
tempt to murder S. Sheba, editor OF
the Hawaii Shinpo, at the time or
the Japanese strike on the sugar
plantations of this island. This is

After the empaneling of the jury a
| recess was taken until 11:15. j.
Lightfoot does not bear lone hand
for the defense in this trial, as he
| has done in the other cases related
to the strike so far tried. e. A.
Douthitt of this city and Jas. L. Coke
of Maui, from where the defendant
halls, are associated with Lightfoot.
County Attorney Cathcart Is assisted
| by M. F. Prosser In prosecuting.
Upon the swearing of the Jury Mr.
Cathcart made an opening statement
facts to be proved by the prosecu-
ton. He told of Morris unsuccessful
endeavors for a month in Honolulu
to procure bail for his friend Toko-
gawa, arrested on a Federal warrant
for sending obscene matter in his
newspaper through the mails. Mori
conceived a bitter enmity to Sheba.
on the belief that 1t was he who pre-
vented the procuring of bail. Mr.
Cathcart related the particulars OF
the assault on Sheba near his office
on Smith street, the close shave the
knife gave to the jugular vein and
the breaking of the knife from the
force Of the blow.
Sheba, the complaining witness,
was the first called. His evidence in
chief was a simple account of the
attack upon him which nearly ended
his career. At noon Douthitt was
well along with the cross-examina-
ton, going into his relations with
Mori for years past.

had been monotonous and anxious to
find out concerning this promised land.
TEN THOUSAND IF WANTED.
I'VE can get ten thousand of just
such people as these" said Jack At
kinson to a Star reporter who boarded
the ship outside. IF they are wanted
and if we are satisfied with them. It
is only matter of transportation. It
is not for one moment a matter of
soliciting; they are only too anxious to
come. Conditions in the country
whence they come are horrible to con-
template in many respects, and with
a heavy winter coming on it is great
good fortune for tsese that they are
here. The Russians and Chinese can
not agree on matters of farming lands
in the districts from which these peo-
pie come and the question of getting
enough work to earn their food is a
bitter one with them.
PICKED AGRICULTUISTS.

business of selecting immigrants than
when 1 started on this expedition, 1
can tell you," said Atkinson. "In this
lot there are only families selected be-
cause of their agricultural inclinations.

men, young giants, but made it a prac-
tice everywhere to select them for their
agricultural tendencies. We want
agricultural families and there is not
a family in this lot but has some prac-
tical knowledge of the soil. They are
all well and strong and without a
bIemish or spot among them. left

De Bolt, saying:
"That is only whitewashing They
did not make any investigation.
Il saw Mr. Milverton going up to
Attorney General Hemenway's office
from the grand jury room, and in a
few minutes he came back with that
paper in his hands for the grand jury
to sign"
Mrs. Atcherley said lot more to the
pressmen-about her letter to the
President of the United States and a
reply from some official in washington
saying it was matter for the grand
jury, also about her effort to have the
Federal grand jury investigate the mat
ter and Judge Woodruffs telling her
it was a matter for the Territorial
grand jury. She insisted there were
many charges to investigate which
Messrs. Cathcart and Milverton had
ignored, mentioning among others that
of the attempted poisoning of her hus-
band and that of his false imprison-
ment by Chester Doyle.
Judge De Bolt told her there was
no appeal from the grand jury.

"We, the grand jurors, herewith re-
port that we have taken up the mat
ter of certain charges made by Mrs.
Atcherley, of conspiracy on the part
of the President of the Board of Health
the Attorney General of the Territory,
the City and County Attorney, the De-
putty High Sheriff, the Sheriff of the
City and County, the District Magis-
trate of Honolulu, the Commissioners

it necessary to investigate such
charges, having full confidence that the

formed their duties in the matter. We
do not feel that any grounds whatso-
ever exist warranting the charges
made.
Respectfully submitted,

Within an hour after receiving Judge
De Bolts charge in the matter, the
grand jury returned with the foregoing
report. They simply treat the charges
of conspiracy as unworthy of con-

Pulaski County Prosecutor
 Will Take No Legal
LOOKS TO GRAND JURY
Predicts Murder in the First Degree Verdict and Says Ellis Will
 Then Return.

Little Rock. Aug 1S.-Eo further action will be taken in the Ellis mat ter by Prosecuting Attorney Campbell until the Pulaski county grand jury meets the last of next month. Until that time w. Y. Ellis, of Pine Bluff, who shot and killed N. P. Willis. in the court room here, will be permit- ted to remain under bond without further resistance from the prosecut- ing attorney. Prosecutor Campbell says he has no doubt but that the jury will return verdict of murder in the first degree and Ellis will then have to be returned to the Pulaski county jail. Prosecuting Attorney Campbell says the supreme court has decided one justice can hear an ac- tion of an inferior court on review through writ of certiorari, but there are no members of the supreme court here and he will not ask one to come to the sweltering city and take up the case, as he has much other business to attend to. Ellis is now out on a $1O,OOO bond granted by Chancellor Elliott of Pine Bluff.

The announcement yesterday that the officials of the Arkansas, Louis jana and Gulf Railway Company had accepted the proposition of Pine Bluff people, who recently donated more than hundred thousand dollars as a bonus and offer free right of way through the city and county depot site and terminals, occasioned much rejoicing among the many business men and others who realize the great boom that will re/tllt for Pine Bluff and surrounding territory by the building of the Parker road from Hamburg to this city and thence north to the Rock Island, connecting with the latter either at DeVall's Bluff or Mesa. Ark.
 For the past several weeks Mr. Parker and the other owners of the Arkansas, Louisiana and Gulf road have been conferring at Colorado Springs, Col, and the telegram from TdIheI yesterday to fGoSluonC W. U. Hearn. of the Bank of Pine Bluff, an- nouncing the favorable decision of the directors and stockholders of his line. is the outcome. It is generally be- lieved that the railroad promoters have made arrangements whereby the roal may be financed without further delay and that the work will begin immediately on the Pine Bluff exten- sion.
 MT. Parker and MT. Otis will arrive the latter part of next week and more details as to the plans of the promot- CTS of the road will be given out at that time. Pine Bluff will be the dis tribut'ne point for all material for the Parker road and when the extension is completed to this city the general headquarters and offices, as we'll as the railroad shops. will be moved to this city from Monroe, La.

NO CR|M|NAL|TY
 IN SUTTON CASE Court of Inquiry Decides That Sutton Died by
 His Own Hand.
MRS. SUTTON LOSES
DisapprOyai of Lax State of Disei- piine shown to Have Existed
 at Marien School.

Washington, Aug. lS.-The findings tigated the death of Lieutenant Jas. N. Sutton. of the United States marine corps. were made public today by the navy department. The court decided that no possible charge of criminal ity lies against any of the participants in the fray except Sutton himself, and that Lieutenant Sutton is directly and solely responsible for his own death, which was self-infiicted, either inten- tionally or in an effort to shoot one Of the persons restraining him, and his death was not caused by any other injury whatever.
 That the charges of wilful murder and conspiracy to conceal, made by the complainant, Mrs. Sutton, mother of Lieutenant Sutton, are purely i'm aginary and unsupported by even a shadow of evidence, truth or reason"
 The court also recommends that there be no further proceedings Cap tain H. E. Campbell, Judge Advocate general of the navy, submitted the findings to Acting Secretary of the Navy Winthrop today with the recom- mendation that they be approved In acting on the case Mr. Winthrop said:
 The above recommendations of the judge advocate general are approved By it's concurrence in the opinion of the court and that included in the mi norty report, the department indi- cates its disapproval of the lax state of discipline shown to have existed at the marine school of application prior to and at the time of the death of Lieutenant Sutton. The result of this laXity has brought serious discredit not only on the officers directly re- sponsible for the efficiency of the in stitution, but unfortunately on the ma rine corps as whole'

100 CARS OF ROCK
 FOR THE RIVER FRONT
That Many Cars Being Loaded at Bradford, Ark, To Be Sent to Pine Blun-River Bank Perfectly Safe Again.

A special from Bradford, Ark. says that contractors are loading 100 cars of rock, which will be shipped to Pine Bluff immediately to be used in re- building the revetments and dykes along the river front here The gov erment crews have been working like beavers for some weeks, strengthen ing the banks here and much work has been accomplished. The caving of the river bank at this point some months ago, when more than million dollars worth of property was washed away. will not result again when an other rise comes down the Arkan- sas. The bank is being rocked by the government for more than mile an! the recent appropriation of congress of $97 900 for local river work, will enable the government crews to make the bank perfectly safe here for years to come.
