That portion Of the oklahoma prohlbl-

held that It violates the fourteenth
amendment to the federal constitution,
which provides that no state shall pass
any measure which deprives any citizen
of the United States OF property without
due process of law. The Oklahoma stat
ute made the mere possession Of more
than the stipulated amount OF intoxicants
proof OF guilt. This angle TO the enact

it unconstitutional.

Federal Employees
Should Pay for
Their Pensions

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 15.-That gov
ernment employees should receive aoe-
quate compensation so as to enable them
to contribute to an old age retirement
fund was the principal suggestion in the
report of the special committee on super
annuation made today to the annual
meeting of the National Civil Service Re
form league in session here. The com
mittee reported that III the salaries Of
the governments civil employees are ade-
auate as compared with salaries for sim
liar employment outside the public serv-
ice, so that the employees can properly
be expected, as ordinarily prudent men,
to lay by a sufficient amount year by
year TO provide for their own old age,
It is no hardship that the government
should compel them 10 make such pro-
vision, and 1t is neither reasonable nor
does IL tend toward personal thrift and
economy for the government to add 10
such salary a pension for life at great
expense to the taxpayers"
Charles w. Eliot. president emeritus OF
Harvard university, was reelected presi-
dent OF the league. All the other Off
GERS were also elected Henry A. Rich
mond Of Buffalo, N. Y, was added to

stokes Not Critically Ill.
Yesterdays reports, it is now learned
rather exaggerated the gravity OF MI
stokes condition. While his recovery Is
slow. II was said today that he was in
no immediate danger.
Before the prosecution began its sum-
ming up today, Attorney Moore for the
defense was permitted to supplement his
argument Of yesterday by briefly calling
the tury's attention to the fact that X
the holes in Stokes coat and hat were
really bullet holes, more shots must have
been fired than the six accounted for.
Five of these bullets lodged in the wall
and one in Stokes leg. Where he asked,
were the rest2
Prosecutor is Caustic.
When Assistant District Attorney Buck
ner began his speech to the jury Mr..
Stokes pretty young wife sat near the
judges desk and Miss Graham and Miss
Conrad at their attorneys table.
The prosecutor urged the jurors not TO
consider Stokes character. He pleaded
with them to forget sympathy and con-
slider only the argument of self-defense.
Speaking of the relations between Stokes
and Miss Graham, he said scornfuliy:
And they have the hardihood to call
that love. It's not love. It's lust on the
part of Stokes and lucre on the part OF
Lillian Graham"
Mr.. Bruckner did not spare Stokes. He
referred to the sick millionsire as a
''cool. calculating rogue who always had
been strong and was cautions"
Miss Graham covered her face with her
hands and the tears tickled betweent heI
gloved fingers.
Money the Motive.
"The principal motive of the final act,
continued Mr.. Buckner lis money
money-money."
When Miss Conrad came on the scene
he said, there wasn't to be any more
"namby- -pamby business
The most extraordinary woman I evel
met" he said of the younger defendant
what combination of kitten and wild
cat! ~ ana as nara as halls! lhere wal
no more cambric tea business after sh,

Miss Conrad glared at him as he spoke
The prosecutor asserted that Miss Con
rad concocted the whole scheme to ge
money out of Stokes and that she wrot
the letters Miss Graham left when sh,
made what he said was fake attemp
at suicide, and had the older, but weake
and less intelligent, woman copy it. H
accused Miss Conrad OF brushing som
of the writing with water to initiate tea
drops.
"rhey never expected to shoot Stoke
when they bought those guns" he wen
on. There's no use shooting up mai
when you expect to get a signed state
ment out of him that you can turn int
money"

The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1911-09-26

San Diego Sun: At high noon yes
terday an impressive and beautiful
wedding ceremony, possible only in
the semi-tropics, was solemnized I'M
der the fringed palms in the court of
Hotel del Coronado, uniting in mar
riage two well known young society
people of San Diego and Hawaii.
The bride, Miss Flora Benton, is
the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Robert
Harrison Benton of San Diego county,
and is popular in local social circles.
Philip La Vergne Rice, the bride
groom, is a member of a prominent
Hawaiian family, the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. William Hyde Rice of Lihue,
Kauai Territory, of Hawaii, The four
Rice sons are famous as the Rice polo
team in the Hawaiian Islands.
The setting chosen for the cere-
mony seemed most fitting for the cul-
mination of a pretty romance that
had its beginning a little more than
two summers ago when the bride was
a house guest at the home of Mr..
Rice's sister at Kauai. The bride was
unattended and wore gown of white
