ORDER HEDCPETA'S RETURN
Supreme Court Of Iowa Hands Down
Formal Document.
BOARD OF PAROLE KEEPS BUSY
John Junkin of Ottumwa Will
Make Plea of Innocence In
Spite of His Com
fession.
tFrom a staff correspondent

DIES MONIES, April 18-(Speoial)-The
supreme court has just issued the order
for the return from the penitentisry to
Council Bluffs of Marion Hedgpeth to stand
trial again for breaking and entering a
store about a year ago. The court recently
reversed the decision of the lower court
and held in substance that the lower court
should have taken the case from the jury
and directed a verdict of acquittal. The
decision goes direct to the character of the
testimony and 1t Is decided that the testi-
mony did not conclusively connect Hedg-
peth with the crime. But he is to go back
10 Council Bluffs for trial. and unless there
has been secured some additional evidence
he will probably be acquitted. The fact
that Hedgpeth was known to have spent
many years in prison and to have been
connected more or less directly with sew
eral bands of bandits is regarded as having
had much to do with his conviction.
The State Board of Parole has returned
from a week of hearings at the Fort Mad
ison prison. While there they saw John
Junkin, colored, who is being held to await
trial for a murder in Ottumwa. unk
shook with fear when he saw strange per-
sons at the prison and seemd to dread be-
ing taken away. He intends putting up a
defense of innocence despite his confession
and has secured an attorney to fight the
case. 1t is expected that he will be taken
to Ottumwa in about two weeks to be ar
raigned.
Narrow Escape for Capitol.
II transpires that during the winter the
state capitol had a narrow escape from q
serious fire and that knowledge of this fact
made known to the members of the genera
assembly induced them to make an appro-
priation for a time recording device to keeI
tab on the watchmen of the capitol. The
fire broke out in a small storage room n
the basement, which room is seldom evei
visited by the w~atchmen, but by chance ar
official who has his desk in an adjoining
room came into the room at an unusua
hour and smelled the burning material. II
this way a fire was prevented. When Thu
tact became known to the legislators they
made an appropriation of $500 to secur'
more perfect petrolling of the state house
But the persons who have been on watch
are defiant and declare that 1t is an out
rage. The custodian Of the capitol will
install the device.

MOLOKANS IN Los ANGELES
AND THEIR RELIGIOUS FREAKS

LOS ANGELES, Cal, July u. 49, A
result of the late Russian-Japanese
war has been the immigration from
southeastern Russian to California of
a peculiar religious sect called Molo-
kans.
The Molokans are not numerous,
there being about 500 families of them
in the state, of whom 300 are in Los
Angeles and 200 in San Francisco. One
hundred families more have recently
settled on land in Lower California.
The Molokans hail from the province
of Caucasia, in southeastern Russia,
where they were colonized by the Rus
sian government at the close of the
last war between Russia and Tur-
key. The principal cause of the exodus
was the desire to escape military SER
vice, the Molokans, like the Quakers,
being opposed to war.
Other contributing causes were the
condition, persecution or hte threat OF
persecution by the orthodox church of
Russia and the general unsettled state
of affairs in the cars dominions. So
one of their leaders heard the voice
of the Lord and received a revelation
directing them to migrate to Anne
RIGA
HARMLESS, BUT IGNORANT.
The Molokans are on the whole a
harmless and well meaning people,
though ignorant to an almost unbe-
lievable degree. For instance, hold
ing themselves to be Gods chosen
people, like the Israelites of old, it
was their firm belief on coming to
America that the United States was
to be their promised land, and that
the eighty or ninety millions of Anne
ricans were to be dispossessed as the
Canaanites were and either driven
out or made the servants or slaves
of the three or four thousand "chos-
en-"
And missionaries say that after a
residence of some years, during which
their very existence in the promised
land has been rather precarious, the
faith of many is still mistaken.
These people call themselves "spl-
ritual Christians" The phrase "pri-
mitive Christianity" probably des-
cribes their religion as well as any.

HENEY DISCUSSED IN
CONGRESS; WINS IN VOTE

Burke of Pennsylvania called the
lllinoisan to order, saying that Mann's
admission that Heney needed no de-
tense disposed of the necessity of con-
suming the Houses time.
SLAP AT PENNSYLVANIA.
Il am glad said Mann, that only
one member, and he from the great
and pure State Of Pennsylvania, is op-
posed to Mr.. Heney"
Fearful that Heney would get a
further allowance, Fitzgerald offered
an amendment prohibiting it.
Smarting under Mann's sarcastic
reference to Pennsylvania as a great
and pure" state, urke charged that he
had been placed in the position of de-
nouncing competent and earnest
public officer He had objected, he
said, because Mann was abusing the
privileges and power of the House.
The suggestion of Mann he charged
as gratuitous.
MOORE CAUSES LAUGHTER.
But l want to say" he remarked,
with some warmth, that when the
great and pure State of Pennsylvania
wishes to have its politics or its moral
tone improved it will not go to the
gentleman from Illinois, the State OF
Illinois, or the city of Chicago, from
which the gentleman halls
Far back in the chamber Moore OF
Pennsylvania was trying to attract
the attention of Burke. When he sue
ceeded he propounded a series of ques-
tions which moved the House to
laughter.
do you not" asked Moore, regard
as highly complimentary the reference
to Pennsylvania?
81 do emphatically replied Burke.
do you deny that Pennsylvania is
a great and pure State?" Moore in
quired.
Il do not" responded Burke.
RESOLUTIONS VOTED DOWN.
The Fitzgerald resolution was voted
down as was one by Callop of Indiana,
prohibiting the payment of any part
of the deficiency appropriation to-
ward the employment of special coun-
sci to assist in prosecuting Delavan

the communal principle. They have
no priests or pastors, only elders. Any
man can become an elder by prosecut-
ing his education TO the extent of be-
ing able to read and commit to mem
DRY the scriptures. An elder being the
head of a communal family and a
man Learned in the scriptures" his
authority is chiefly of "a patriarchal
nature.
The religious meetings of the Mo-
lokans are typical OF the people and
their religion The men-who hang
their hats and overcoats in the rear
of the room, like schoolboys-sit on
one side of the room, the women ana

devout sit about plain table cover

A religious service begins with and
largely consists throughout of the
chanting in unison in the Russian
tongue of Bible psalms learned by
rote. The weird, monotonous inton-

preaching and prayer all in one.
The ceremony of the holy kiss is
another feature. The plain rough,
backless wooden benches are first re-
moved from the room Then, after a
chanted psalm prayer, all arise and,
keeping up another chant, go through
the kissing ceremony.
There are two rows OF elders. Each
member begins with the elder at the
head of the row, bows humbly before
him, then embraces and kisses him
on the cheek, then bows again. Then
he passes to the next elder, repeat
ing the performance. When he-or
she-reaches the end of the line OF
elders the kisser stands at the END
of the line and is in turn embraced
and kissed by those coming after.

women pass to the elders at the head
of the two lines and PROSTATE them

WASHINGTON, July 19.-That
Francis j. Heney, special counsel OF
the Department Of Justice and also as
sistant prosecutor in the so-called
graft cases in San Francisco, received
from the government last year S23 900
for which he performed no service,
was the frank admission of Chairman
Tawney of the Appropriations Com
mittee in the House today.
How much did Heney receive dur
in the year 190S?' demanded Murphy,
Democrat, of Missouri, and what
service did he PERFORM"
He received $4,000 and performed
no service for the government what
ever during that year. said Towney.
Subsequently Towney said:
COST TO PROSECUTE TRUSTS.
AS a matter of fact Mr. Heney has
not performed any active Government
service for the last three years. He
was appointed November Z, 1908, and
his active service continued for about
three years, for which he received in
all $4,000"
He stated, however, that Heney's
salary had nothing to do with the
$4,000 deficiency for the Department
of Justice for which provision is made
in the urgency deficiency bill.
Asked by Cox of Indiana whether
any of this deficiency were due to the
employment of special counsel to pro-
secute any trust, Tawney answered in
the affirmative. saying the suit against
the tobacco trust had occasioned some
of it,
DENOUNCES INCOMPETENCE.
Bennett of New York added that the
prosecution of the turpentine trust
also was responsible for part of it.
Clark of Missouri denounced the
appointment of incompetent district
attorneys, necessitating, as he said,
the employment of ".a.al counsel. The
practice had grown into fad, ne said
and avery expensive fad. He de-
clared if there had been a competnt
District Attorney or two in the West
: there would not have been so much
, stealing of public lands.
Mann of Illinois said Heney needed
no defense. The only people Opposed
to him." he remarked, ARE those who
sympathize with some of those who
have been accused, if not convicted, o.
graft"

These deposits were made upon the
same terms as those of individual de-
positors. No security was asked The
Maui banks did not take any of the
money for the reason that they are
not in position to handle it so readily
as are the banks of Honolulu and Hilo.
TELEPHONE CHARTER.
The attorneys or the Mutual Tele-
phone Company have received from
the government a draft of it's new
charter, as revised by and made &C
.ceptable to the government The at
torneys have accepted the document
subject to the approval of the STOCK
holders of the company, to whom it
must be submitted before action with
respect to it may be regarded as
final. By the terms of this new char
ter the government is to supervise and
regulate the mannr of installing and
operating its plant or plants; the
method, place, etc, of making con-
nections, and the manner OF running
the system in general. What the
stockholders may think of these res
trictions remains to be seen.
GENERAL.
II. p Baldwin, returned in the Mon
golia from a visit in California. He
went away on combined business and
pleasure tour.
Henry d. Bowman, banker of Las
Creces, New Mexico. is a guest at the
Royal Hawaiian hotel. He comes
from a very interesting SECTION OF
country just at present, inasmuch as
around his home town the government
is building an immense irrigation plant
costing $S,0O0,OOO, and which will give
to the immediate section $4,000 ad-
ditional acres of the richest land on
earth. The water is to be taken
from the Rio Grande. Besides being
man of affairs Mr. Bowman is an in
teresting conversationalist. He brought
letters to Honolulu people that may
result in his being heard before one
or more OF the commercial bodies.
Frank c. Atherton, secretary of the
Sugar Factors Company, has COM
piled his figures and reports that the
sugar crop shipped by his concern for
the year just closed totals 447 900 tons.
This is 10000 tons IN excess of the ship
ments of last year and about 5000 tons
over the estimate made on May l.
The Spreckels interests will ship
total of $4,000 to 10000 tons, which will
bring the grand total for the islands
for the year up to $4,000 or 535, 900
tons Last year the total shipments
aggregated 521 1923 tons.
Eva finishes grinmHg today. The
total yield for the year is "a, 200 tons.
which is quite a satisfactory showing.

sidered excellent authority that the

REAL ESTATE.
Real Estate has been quiet during
the week, although confidence of the
dealers runs high, as the following
statements will show:
r. H. Trent, of the Trent Trust Co.:
Business is moving along quietly and
satisfactorily. We are not in any
large schemes, but the ordinary run
keeps up as well as could be expected
at this season."
A. V. Gear, of the Real Estate EX-
change: Prospects are brighter than
ever before for steadily increasing ac-
tivity in deals with persons seeking
homes, as well as those desiring lots
prospects of town property as decided
ly brigheter. The l.. L. McCandless
and other deals of late show that.
Charles S. Desky: Inquiries for real
estate for BODYBUILDING purposes and
for increasing present acreages have
been on the upgrade. There is a
good deal doing in small business,
which, however when put together,
amounts to a good deal. Relying on
my twenty-five years of experience as
giving me a right to speak, l think
that the next six months will show a
large and healthy movement in real
estate of every kind My reasons for
this opinion are that sugar stocks and
bonds as investments have reached
their limit as profitable ventures. Peo-
pie and the banks are loaded up with
money and now that securities are
approaching the limit of reason, the
people will turn to real estate as the
next field for investment. This city
is full of money and it cannot be In
vested fast enough to keep down the
constant accumulation of surplus. The
reason real estate has not been in 1t
heretofore has been simply that sugar
offered so good and easy an invest
ment. But conditions are changing
every day and real estate will soon
again occupy the center of the STAGE
Another citizen of an observing turn
points to the immense improvement in
school facilities as an important mark
of progress The splendid buildings
being erected for st. Andrews Priory
are pointed to by way of illustration.
The immense building going up in
Kaimuki to be used as a Catholic
convent is given as another. This
superb structure will house the board
ing or pay students of the higher
classes while the free school will re-
main in the present buildings on Fort
street. 1t is also stated by this gem
tlemen that St. Louis College will very
shortly begin work on its fine, new
buildings in the same neighborhood
and that in a year the capacity of the
college will be immensely increased.
Put that in your commercial re-
view,'" he added with a smile. 1T is
not exactly commercial just now, but

men and their wives of the future will
