Ifhe paroles because they allied with
Gov. Warner to grant pardons To Ed

ing life terms in Jackson prison for
tmurder in Detroit, have notified Gov
Osborn that they will step down and
out rather than cause any friction.

ton for lieutenant-goyernor, is pick
ed for a place on the board.
Connor and Runner now realize that
Gov. Warner pulled the wool over
their eyes. They also have a sus
picion that Warner entered into an
agreement with Blakeslee by which
the latter remained away from the
meeting SO the record would disclose
no opposition.
Blakeslee went in after the session
had ended and made the clerk record
him as voting against the pardons
The other members did not know this
until they had been notified several
days later by the clerk
Nelson C. Rice, of St. Joseph, who
was chairman of the ways and means

emily for one place on the board OF

JUNIOR STAMP
COLLECTORS HAVE
AN OPPORTUNITY

So much interest is being manifested
in the collection of postage stamps in
this Territory, where some of the rarest
and most valuable stamps to delight
the hearts of collectors are found, that
the Hawaiian Philatelic association de-
cided at its last meeting to organize
Junior branch of the association, and
to start the juniors going named Ber-
nard F. Beardmore, of the Bank of Ho-
nolulu, as the first president
1t is proposed that all boys, from
fourteen to eighteen years old, shall
be eligible for membership, after which
they will be able to graduate into the
ranks of the parent association. All
boys who are interested in the collee-
ton of stamps, or who have a collec-
tion at this time, should send in their
names to Mr.. BeardmOre, at the Bank
of Honolulu, on Fort street.
There will be many benefits for
youngsters who belong to the junior
association; they viii have meetings
and become acquainted, can have the
opportunity to trade stamps among
themselves, while those with collections
can show them to other juniors and can
compare their collections and exchange
on a basis of values.
Also there viii probably be lectures
or talks by some of the seniors on the
different countries, in which a history
of the stamps and the countries in
which they are issued will be given.
Altogether there will be great deal
of information to be had through mem
hership in the junior association as
well as Jolly times.
Parents or guardians should also send
in the names of those who are eligible
to membership. There are no dues or
payments at this time until, at least,
the charter members get together and
perfect a permanent organization. So,
the more charter members the better.
