Disaster Meets CoaI-Laden
Vessel On Long Voyage
From Newcastle Put
Into This Port Soon.

The four-masted American barken-
tine, James Johnson, sailing from
Newcastle, N. s. W, on December II,
with several thousand tons of Aus
tralian coal, destined for San Fran
cisco, is now in distress, beating off
the shores of Kauai, her skipper Cap
tain Jensen, having died January 6,
and her officers and crew finding
themselves running short of provi-
sions.
Captain A. Lockett, master of the
Pacific Mail steamship Persia, ar
riving at the port at o'clock this
morning after a fair trip from the
Orient, reported having sighted the
distressed vessel along about O'Clock
last evening, while the Persia was
steaming along the coast of Kauai.
A ships boat was put out from the
James Johnson and In it was Chief
officer Erricson and several seamen.
The request for some lines of provi-
sions was made and the Persia Off
food. The men reported the death of
Captain Jensen during the voyage and
stated that the vessel had then been
ninety-seyen days at sea- The bark
entine's chronomater also required
correction.
A quantity of flour, and some
canned goods was given the Johnson's
men. They declared that it was now
the intention to proceed to Honolulu,
instead of attempting to go through
to the coast.
'The barkentine's bottom was evil
IDENTIFY very FOUL declared an officer
in the Persia this morning. AS the
vessel rolled you could see streamers
of seaweed of several feet in length
along her sides.
The men claimed to have suffl-
cient supply of meat and water to car
ry them along for some time, though
there was grave doubt whether the
vessel could proceed to the Pacific
coast without renewal of practical
ly all lines of provisions and her sup
ply of drinking water
The coal-laden vessel met with a
of gales and contrary
winds which served to greatly retard
her progress. From the position of
the James Johnson, it is expected that
she will be off the port either today
or early tomorrow 1t is possible that
she may be discharged here and then
receive a cleaning before continuing
her voyage to the mainland.
The coal in the distressed vessel is
consigned to Hind, Rolph & CO., San
Francisco.

MULLET DEBATE
in THE HOUSE
Members Devote Most of
Morning Session to Talks
On Histology.

Histology furnished popular theme
that the House chewed over for an
hour this morning, spending most of
the morning session in passing Longs
bill providing a closed season for null

ed, and nearly every member of the
House got an opportunity to deliver
himself of expert opinions on the life

Driver Guilty.
Is Fined $3.50
Judge Cooper Declares Extenu-
ating Circumstances Existed
In Shooting

The Driver case, arising out of the
sensational shooting affray at Hotel
and Fort streets last November, when
William McQuaid shot Volney G. Dri-
Yer and was then wounded by Driver,
came to an unexpected end this morn
ing, when Driver entered a plea of
guilty to a charge of assault with a
deadly weapon and was sentenced by
Circuit Judge Cooper to pay fine of
$3.50.
The technical plea entered by Dri-
ver's attorneys, A. l.. c. Atkinson and
A. S. Humphreys, was that of "nolo
contendre"-being practically equiva-
lent to a plea of guilty but believed
to be preventive to the loss of civil
rights.
Driver appeared before Judge Cooper
shortly after 0 o'clock this morning, ac-
companied by his father.
City and County Attorney Cathcart
stated that he had consented that Dri-
yer should enter a plea of "nolo con-
tendre" to a charge of assault with a
deadly weapon, instead of the charge
for which he was ndicted-assault
with intent to commit murder.

PLANS TO STOP OPERATIONS
OF EMIGRANT AGENTS HERE
BY ASKING $1,000 LICENSE

Strong opposition to the two emil
grant agents, Frank Craig and II.
Ozawa, who are now operating in Ho-
nolulu to get laborers for Alaskan
canneries, is evident In the appear
ance of bill in the House raising
the license of emigrant agents from
$500 yearly to $2,500. The bill was
introduced by A. F. Tavares, repre-
sentative from Maui
Tavares said this morning that the
bill is designed to prevent Craig and
Ozawa, as well as other emigrant
agents, from operating in Hawaii. He
believes that the Territory can not af-
ford to spare its laborers, and that ii
should be protected against agents
coming here to lure the people away
with promise of employment else
where.

BROWN OPPOSES EDUCATION
OF ALIENS SCHOOL BILL
AGAIN DEFERRED IN SENATE
THIRTY-sEcoND DAY.

Objections by Senator Makekau of
Hawaii and Senator Cecil Brown, cou-
pied with the desire of the ways and
means committee of the Senate to COM
pare some of the salary increases in the
new school bill, caused further post
ponement of the measure in the Senate
this morning.
The bill was on second reading, and
after the measure had been read in it's
entirety by Clerk John Wise, Senator
amendment which he thought would
meet the objections made by Senator
Brown yesterday to the failure to state
specifically that the schools shall be a
first charge upon Territorial revenue
only after interest and sinking fund of
the public debt
Judds amendment provided that
nothing in the act contained shall be
construed as impairing the obligation
of the Territory on the bonded indebt-
edness. This met the only objection
that Senator Brown had given express
sion to yesterday, and it was thought
that the bill would have clear passage
on second reading without further de-
lay.
Browns Views.
Senator Brown seconded Judd'a
amendment, and after stating that he
was a firm believer in educational i'm
provement he proceeded to fay the
practical intent of the bill-to provide
all the children in the Territory with
educational advantages for all time.

finest in the valley. in his buggy with

early start on the morrow When he
went to the barn the next morning,
he found the outfit gone. Hesse i'm

the case.
After considerable sleuthing, Dep

ATTEMPTED OUTBREAK
At STATE ST0cKADE
Bar of Window in Prisoners
clubhouse Pried Loose, But
Was Found Before Escape

But for the watchfulness of the
night guard at the stockade near the
state quarry and rock crushers, in the
Selah gap, there would doubtless have
been wholesale delivery of state
penitentiary prisoners Monday morn
ing. Inside the stockade, locked W.
in clubhouse were thirty-eight
convicts brought here from Walla
Walla to work in the crusher and
quarry.
At midnight Sunday night, the night
guard on duty inside the stockad de
observed a face at the window of the
bunk house watching him, by moon
light. This same face he saw from
another window a little later and
when he went to the rear of the build
ing he found on observing the fast
enings of the window of the toilet
room that one of the bars had been
priedj loose from the inside and that
another was partly loose.
Calling for help the other mem bers
OF the guard and the office force,
sleeping in the house besiIe the
stockade, they entered the bunlihouse
and took out the man whom they
thought responsible for the attempt
ed outbreak Repairing the window
additional guards were put on.
Il. E. Woolevery, in charge Of the
state work, telephoned the sh Ariff's
office in this city, and at 5 o'clock
Monday morning Deputies Hitler and
Barney. in the county automobile
went to the stockade and brought
the prisoner back to the county jail.
At daylight, an investigation of the
clubhouse was made, and anothe!
man was removed. This man was
found with an improvised wrench
probably made at the forge in th9
stockade, up his sleeve. He was
ironed and promptly marched down
the railroad track to North Yakima
by one of the guards and pI*ced in
the county jail in place of he first
man removed from the stockade. He
will be taken back to Walla Walla
and because of his performance VIII
lose whatever credit marks he may
have had mad suffer other punish
rnent.
The officers believe that 1t was the
purpose of the men to get into the
yard of the stockade, climb up or
the fence when the guard happened
to be on the other side and escape
This was frustrated by the watchfu'-
ness of the guard. aided by the bright
ness of the moon.
