Posa gained knowledge of the fact
that senior Maura was to pass through
Barcelon on his way to Palma, where

SLAIN HUSBANDS
FUNERAL.

Chicago, July 23.-Ernest Stevens.
a negro chauffeur, formerly employed
by I. G. Rawn, was arrested here late
yesterday as a suspect in connection
with the railroad presidents death
Stevens was discharged last Deem
Der, and as late as last May, it IS de-
clared, he has threatened Rawn's

company of Chicago, and a friend OF
Rawn.
Cullen swore to an affidavit to the
effect that ne had heard the negro,
in referring to Rawn, say a wiz
get that white man him, I'll get
him.
Stevens had been employed by
Rawn from May, 1906, to December,
1909, when he was discharged, it is
alleged, for disobeying orders. Aside
evidence against Stevens Although
too i'll to attend the funeral of ner
husband, Mrs. Rawn made detailed
statement of the shooting. In a
general way, the statement bears out
the stories as told by the dead mans
son-in-law, R. G. Coburn.
Mrs. Rawn said that on the night
previous to the shooting, she and her
husband heard a noise similar to the
one which she says aroused them
early Wednesday morning She said>
''The noise on the first night was
something like the shutting of a
door. On the second night there was
a sort of creeping sound, whether it
was a sound of walking, cannot
tell
81 told my husband not to go
down. He did not pay any attention
but kept on walking through the
dark. 1t was very dark, but l could
hear him walking, and so I got up
and sat on the edge of the bed.
at didn't seem second when j
could hear him creeping down, and
he had time to get to the first land

So then I jumped and screamed, ana
at the time I screamed I heard "a

Geo. T.. Scott DlL VI poitCAC@A
news was made known yesterday when
IC. Fl. Crownhart, manager of Senator
La Follette's campaign, received a let
ter from Mr. Scott bearing the infor-
nation that the writer had received a
positive declaration from Senator
Stout that he would not be candi-
date, together with an assurance OF
approval of Mr.. SCOTS candidacy
Mr.. Scott served in the last legis-
lature, representing Barron county,
and was looked upon as one of the
strong members of that body. He is
a native of Wisconsin, having been
born in Durand, Pepin county. He is
a merchant and miller at Prairie Farm
and his large, general merchandise
store is noted throughout the state as
one of the biggest ana most complete
country merchandising institutions in
the commonwealth. In politics he is
of the progressive sort and were he
in congress would probably be an in
surgent
Many friends of Senator Stout will
regret his determination to retire
from the service of the state. In the
upper house he has been one of the
landmarks of integrity and every good
cause had his support. Educational
interests Of the state, particularly, viii
miss his hearty cooperation in the
promotion of legislation in the inter
est of the schools of the state of what
ever class. He has been in the senate
continuously since 1894 and no doubt
would be kept there by the voters of
the 10Th district as long as he would
consent.
Senator Stout at present is rusticat-
ing at his brothers farm near Birch.

CAN'T HOLD TWO
OFFICIAL JOBS

Attorney General Lindsay renders
an opinion against double jobs or the
drawing of two salaries by govern
ment officials
Section 16 of the Organic Act pro-
vides:
"That 70 member of the legislature
shall, during the term for which he is
elected, be appointed or elected to
any office of the Territory of Ha-
wall"
Section II provides:
"That no person holding Office IN
or under or by authority of the gov
eminent of the United States or of
the Territory of Hawaii shall be eli
gible to election to the legislature or
to hold the position of a member of
the same while holding said Office"
The intent of congress in passing
the above sections of the Organic Act
was undoubtedly to prevent our legis
lature creating offices and subse-
quently filling the same by it's own
members. The legislature of Hawaii
created the counties, prescribes the
offices and fixes their salaries, and

the power that created can at any
time change the duties of these offices
and add to or subtract from their
salaries. While, popularity speak
ing, an officer of a county is perhaps
not an officer of the Territory of Ha-
wall, it must be remembered that
county is only an arm or agency Of
the territorial government, created
for the purpose of carrying on its
scheme of government.
The language of Section II of the
Organic Act seems positive against
the contention that a county officer IS
eligible to election or to hold a seat
in the legislature.
