FOR ASCH FIRE RETR|AL.
Court to Rule if Waist Men Can
Be Jeopardized Again.
VARYING VIEWS AS TO LAW
Whitman Feels He Should Let
Supreme Court Decide Legal
Points Involved.

Whether Sam" Harris and Max Blanck
the acquitted proprietors of the Triangle
Waist Company, can be again placed in
jeopardy for manslaughter growing out
of the Asch Building fire last March will
he decided shortly by Justice Seabury,
sitting In the Criminal Branch Of the SUI
preme Court. Since these men were &C
quilted by jury before Judge Grain, In
General Sessions, last December. promi-
nent criminal lawyers have differed wide
ly in their opinions as to the right OF
District Attorney Whitman to bring
them to trial second time on another
Indictment charging the same crime.
The District Attorney said yesterday
that he would lay the evidence before
Justice Seabury during the February
term of the Supreme Court.
There are some important legal ques-
tons involved. and shall let the court
decide them" said Mr. Whitman. Mass
meetings have been held recently by the
relatives and friends of the surviving
victims OF the fire. and resolutions call
ing for new trial will soon be presented
TO Mr.. Whitman.
There is no other way in which the
District Attorney can bear the RESPONSE
bility which he owes to the public than
to submit this question of law to SUI
prcme Cou Judge" said Mr. Whitman.
Although the District Attorney has not
allowed his opinion on the case to he
1nIo Z.
quittal of Harris and Blanck in General
Sessions last December surprised and
greatly disappointed him. The reason
was that the indictments on which they
were tried we're believed TO embrace the
strongest case which the state had
against the defendants. The identified
ton of the charred bodies lying nearest
to the alleged locked door on the tenth
floor of the building, in these indict-
ments, was said to have been most COM
plete. There are already six indictments
charging manslaughter hanging owe:
Harris and Blanck
1t is likely that the motion for new
trial will be received by Justice Seabury
on February IL. Additional evidence
which the District Attorney has obtained
and the points Of law involved will be
submitted on that date The lawyers
who contendcd that the Triangle pro-
prletors could not again be placed in
jeopardy held that there could be no
other evidence against them than that
which was laid before the jury and
Judge Grain last December.
Following the acquittal much discus
sion arose over the judges charge to the
iury that II a verdict OF conviction were
to be returned, the jurors must find that
Harris and Blanck knew that the fatal
door was locked at the time when the
fire broke out. Many lawyers declared
that the charge was most Favorable to
the defendants.

Brides Love of a Clay Pipe.

Rather than give up smoking her
cherished clay pipe an Irish bride
named Johanna Wood has left the
workhouse at Faversham, Kent. Her
husband, who was also an inmate of
the workhouse, has left with her.
With a careless disregard Of the
fact that they were both practically
destitute, the man and the woman,
whose ages are respectively sixty-two
and forty-nine, were married on De-
cember II. The honeymoon was spent
at the workhouse.
Mrs. Wood" stated one Of the
workhouse officials yesterday, Seem

pipe and would not have parted with
It for anything. On being taxed with
smoking in the workhouse she said:
I cannot do without my pipe; l have
smoked since I was a little girl She
was told that she must either give up
smoking or leave the workhouse. She
elected to take the latter course and

KINGS WAR ROBE ON VIEW
At the Museum In New York City
You May See the Feathers
kamehameha III. Wore.

AS an example OF the past royalty
Of Hawaiian kings, a remarkable
feathered war robe. once the property
Of Kamehameha III, and said to be
the equal in value of diamond orna-
ments In several of the European re-
gala. is displayed In the hall of South
Sea Islands at the American Museum
Of Natural History. This emblem OF
Hawaiian royalty was presented by
the king Of the islands to Commodore
Lawrence Kearney, U. S. N, in 1913.
II is war cape with a history and,
according to DR.. Brigham, an author
ity on Hawaiian feather work, SIM
liar cloak, completed in the reign OF
one OF the kings of the islands, was
In process Of fabrication through eight
previous eras.
The Kamehameha royal cape is
made of innumerable feathers of the
nwi and 90 birds, which were hunted
In the ravines and wooded slopes of
the mountains of Hawaii for the dec
grafton OF these robes of rank. The
royal cape, which is crescent-shape,
consists entirely of small red and yell
low feathers, which are interviewer
upon fiber network made from the
bark of the Olona plant. Contrary to
the custom Of the Peruvians, who first
made the feathers fast to cord and
then knotted the cord to a cloth, the
Hawaiians attached the feathers sep
Rrately to the netting.
Although a fortune in labor is rep
resented. the feathered war robe only
weighs six pounds. 1t was presented
to the museum by George s. Bowdoin,
and Ia mounted fiat between two
plates of glass, as is another speci-
men, which is said to have been used
by former owner as sleigh robe,
In ignorance Of its great value.
Among the noted collections con-
tanning specimens of this craft are
those at Windsor castle, which in
cludes examples given by Queen Vic
toria, and Lord Brassy's, whose
trophies includes a rope brought to
England by Captain Cook. In the
archives Of the Hawaiian islands a
history Of each cloak made has been
inscribed. The capes are sometimes
worn at ceremonials In the islands to
denote the rank of the wearer.

Editor Herald

Editor Herald
I desire through your paper to
announce my candidacy for Rep
resentitative to Congress from the
Second District.
Four years ago Mr.. Plumley was
nominated and elected to Congress
because it was believed that he
would act independently of the
reactionary element which then
controlled legislation and would
work along progressive lines.
A great many voters believe that
he has not lived up to our expec-
tations that on many important
questions between the standpatters
and progressives he has voted with
the faction led by Cannon, Payne,
Dalzell and others, or has failed to
vote, and that in general he has
taken no aggressive position on
legislation and it is by reason of
their request and assurance of sup
port that I have decided to become
candidate against Mr.. Plumley.
If nominated and elected, I shall
support those measures which are
in the line of progressive and which
make for the betterment of social
and political conditions through
the country. l shall devote myself
earnestly and aggressively to the
welfare and interests of my consti-
tuents and to the moral upbuilding
and material development of my
State,
Yours truly,
