DR.. ATCHERLE Y
ADJUDCED
|NSANE:
Argues His Own Case
But He Fails to
Convince.

IT find DR.. Atcherley to be of un-
sound mind and a danger to the com
munitv, and I commit him to the in
sane asylum until he shall be declared
cured or until he is discharged. =
Such was the end of the long trial
of DIR. John Atcherley, accused of in
sanity But it does not mean that the
matter is ended. Indeed, it is hardly
more than fairly begun. Ateherley
gave notice that he would appeal, not
only to the Lunaey Commission as pro-
yided by the new Lunacy law, but also
to the Circuit Court, as is not provided
by the law. He is determined, if it be
possible, to get the question of his
sanity or insanity before a jury, know
ing from experience that it is almost
impossible to get conviction in such
cases
The trial of DR.. Atcherlev conclu-
sively demonstrated that while the new
insanity law is an improvement over
the old one, it still leaves much to
be desired. In any other community
such trial as took place in the police
court this week would be not only an
impessibility but an absurdity. The
spectacle Of a man suspected of being
a lunatic appearing in a court of law
as his own attorney, examining his own
witnesses, eross-examining the witness
es of the prosecution, making technical
objections, and finally arguing his own

TIDAL WAVE
STRUCK SHIP
Leicester Castles Captain Tells
of Storm Fiend's
Wrath.

Captain Robert Brown, of the full
rugged British Leicester Castle, and one
of the best known mariners on the Pa
cific, is a passenger to the States by
the s. s. Mariana, his vessel being in
Auckland in so badly battered con-
dition, that she may have tie remain
there for good and ALL
The ship was bound from Monte
Video to Newcastle in ballast, for coal,
and had as adventurous voyage as
falls to the lot of any good ship.
When eight days out a huge tidal
wave overlook the ship, throwing her
on her beam ends. Two week later she
suffered serious damage in gale, and
in continued tempestuous weather was
couple of weeks later dismasted and
crippled so badly that for a long time
she practically drifted at the mercy
of the elements, the majority on board
despairing of ever setting foot on land
again.
When she finally made port it was
Auckland, 1900 miles from her original
destination.

RIOT JUROR IN A
STRANGE EXPLANATION

It is not improbable that an in
vestigation will be made into the con-
duct of some of the jurors who acted
in the riot trial and the statements
that have been attributed to them since
their discharge on the failure to reach
verdict.
W. R. Castle stated yesterday that
an employer of two of the jurors who
voted to aequit the japanese rioters
stated that one of them, when asked
by Mr.. Kopke as to what influence
caused him to cast aside the plain evil
dence in the case and vote for the
aequittal of the men, stated that he
favored aeqnittal because many strike
breakers were now Receiving better
wages than ever before and he did not
wish to participate in verdict that
would tend to send the strikers back
to work by diseouraging the agitators.
This was the only reason the juror
could give for his vote and he didn It
even attempt to defend it on the
ground that he honestly believed that
the accused japanese were guiltiess OF
the charge against them.

vein have been attributed to several
other members Sof the jury, indicating
with fnality that they did not base
their vote to acquit the defendants on
a sincere conviction that the men were
innocent.
The trial of Maxine, Negoro, Sega,
kawamura and Tasaka on charge OF
conspiracy begins before Judge DE
Bolt at $50 clock this morning.

Honolulu, Hawaii, July 10, 1909.
Mr.. James f. Morgan, President, Ho
nolulu Chamber of Commerce.
Dear Sir: In compliance with your
request, I visited Schofeld Barracks
yesterday in company with Mr.. E. H.
Paris, Secretary of the Merchants and
Manufacturers Association, the object
of the trip being to see what, if any
thing, could be done to secure for the
merchants of Honolulu an increased
amount of army business.
Mr.. Paris and were most. cordially
received by Captain Day in charge of
the Quartermasters department who
favored us with all information avail
able in regard to the needs of the de-
partment, ruling prices at which COM
modities may be purchased, etc, etc
We found that all such supplies .as
lumber, coal, wood, hay, grain aud oils
were being purchased locally and were
informed further that bids would soon
be asked for several thousand feet of
fence wire which Mr.. Paris assured
the captain could be purchased as
cheaplv in Honolulu as on the coast
The prevailing prices on nails, sheet
iron and other lines of hardware were
such also as to warrant their purchase
locally.
In the matter of supplies of groceries
and provisions, we found they were
handled by the Commissary department
which your committee visited. We
were informed by those in charge that
the eommissary department was allow
ed to purchase only coffee, sugar, rice,

HUGE ROCK BLOCKS
The PAIL ROADWAY

A rock weighing about two tons
crashed down the Pail early yesterday
afternoon, blocking the roadway and
holding up several teams.
The rock fell just round the turn on
the Koolau side and smashed the fence,
remaining, however, in the road.
A number of laborers were soon on
the scene and after great deal of
work managed to break the obstacle in
several pieces and roll it over the preei-
pice.
Had the rock fallen when vehicle
was passing the consequences would
have been awful.

NOT FOR ROOSEVELT.
Conservation association Not
Political, Says Pack.

Pack. one of the members OF the executive
committee OF the National Conservation
Association. sais to-day that the associa-
tion was not designed by its promoters as
political organization TO secure the nomina-
tion OF Roosevelt for President in 1872.
Il was one OF the promoters Of the asso-
citation" he said. "and I am an anti-Roose-
Welt man. The association contains both
Democrats and Republicans and men who
are friendly and unfriendly TO Roosevelt
Only last night there were three members
OF the association at my house. and the
discussion got around 20 Roosevelt. Well
OF the four members Of the association
present, two were for Roosevelt and two
against him.
AS far as the BaIlinger- -Pinchot contro-
yersy is concerned. think there is a group
of men camped on Ballinger's trail ! don't
think IL is a question Of Roosevelt at all.
Governor Fort and Secretary Ballinger
were at my house last Saturday night to
talk over conservation, and their opinion Is
the same as mine.
The talk Of organizing the association
began last spring among two OF three of
my friends and myself. all Of US being in
terested in the subject. We decided that II
would be good thing TO organize an assO-
citation. and we talked about il all spring
and during the summer. At last we decided
10 ask Dr. Eliot TO become president OF the
association. We had two or three other
men in mind for the position, but he was
our first choice. We asked him. and he
consented. and the association was formed.
There was not anything political about the
formation. and / am sure that no politics
l.as crept into Il since"

NO ROOSEVELT PLOT
Pice-President Ridicules Fears
of Mr.. Taft's Friends.

Nice-President sherman does not believe
that the friends or Theodore Roosevelt are
plotting 10 nominate Roosevelt for Presi-
dent I'm 1912. When asked about the chain
OF political incidents giving color 10 the
theory that the Roosevelt men all over the
country were working together 20 discredit
the Taft administration. he said that Tart
was stronger than ever. lie was OF the
opinion that Taft's name would be the only
one before the next Republican National
Convention.
Nice-President sherman was i'm town last
night on his way 20 Washington. When
seen al the Hotel Manhattan he said:
My attention has been called 10 the dis
patches from Washington telling OF what
appears TO be a concerted movement on the
part Of the friends Of ex-President Roose-
Welt 10 discredit the Taft administration
am confident that any reports alleging That
the friends OF Roosevelt. with or without
his knowledge. are plotting the retirement
OF President Taft in 1912 for the purpose Of
electng Roosevelt I'm his place are the va
Dorings OF the writers OF the dispatches
President Taft is stronger to-day than
ever. His frank talks with the people OF
the West and South on his recent trip have
made a most favorable impression on the
anew the fact that he is willing TO tell
where he stands on all the great questions
Many men who do not agree with his views
admire him for his frankness In discussing
them openly"
What about Senator Aldrich's proposed
currency REFORM
Senator Aldrich," said the Nice-Presi-
dent, is conducting an educational cam
paign on currency reform. lie is spreading
his views in the right way. Instead Of
presenting 10 Congress what. in his judg-
ment might be cure-all FOR national cur
rency ills. he is talking with the bankers
and business men. explaining the main feat
ures of his proposed legislation. In this
way he Is feeling his way along. When
finally he presents a bill II will come pretty
near meeting general approval"
Mr. sherman called at the Controllers
Office yesterday 10 see about bills due the
Oneida Trust Company, of which he is
president. one Of the asphalt contractors
with a large bill against the city assigned
his claim 20 Mr.. sherman's trust company
about year ago, and since then Mr.. Sher-
man has been getting a close range view OF
how the city hangs on TO its cash when il
wants TO.
The city paid some OF his claims six
months ago. but there is a balance of sew
eral thousand dollars that Mr.. sherman
would like 10 get before the end Of this year.
Deputy Controller McCOoey and Auditor
Kenny had long talk with Mr.. Sherman
about the claims yesterday, and Mr.. Nc
CoOey said he would do the best he could
with them. Mr.. Sherman said that Con-

L. I. HOSPITAL BADLY CROWDED.
Larger Building Impossible Now Be
cause of Shifted Appropriations.

The Long Island State Hospital for the
Insane. In Clarkson street, Brooklyn, is
badly crowded. There are accommodations
for $50 persons but there are 80 patients
there now. and more are being received
daily. The plans for the purchase OF a
new site for a larger institution have been
upset. as told exclusively In The Tribune
yesterday morning. because an sppropria-
ton OF $4,000 intended for the purchase
Of the new site has been diverted 10 an
other purpose.
DR.. Oliver NJ. Dewing. the superintend-
ent. said yesterday that the need for more
adequate quarters was imperative. The
main building is more than fifty years old
and has few up-to-date facilities.
The purposed new Long Island asylum
was to be not far from Brooklyn. and the
expenditure OF about 100000 for new build
iEgs was contemplated.
