DYING MESSAGE
TO SWEETHEART
James A. Barton, Drug Clerk Of
Benson, Smith & Co. Then
Drinks Poison.

A pitiful tragedy was recorded on the
books of the police last night when they
were summoned to the Vida villa, King
street, to take charge of the body of
James A. Barton, a druggists clerk at
Benson & Smith, suicide. A note to
a girl furnished ample evidence of his
intention and motive but careful
search of the room revealed no poison
of any sort, though the poison route
was beyond the doubt the one he took,
A small bottle with drop of whisky
at the bottom was the only thing
found by Deputy Sheriff Rose, which
might have contained the poison. This
bottle was standing on the bureau, out
of reach of the bed where the body was
found.
The note expressed to the full extent
all the bitterness of the man. 1t was
dated at twenty minutes past seven,
almost Immediately before he took his
last and fatal drink for the body was
found about ten clock and DIR. Arthur
G. Hodgins, who was summoned, pro.
nounced him to have been dead about
an hour and half. The note, in part
read:
dearest Girl: You are the only one
who knows why die tonight. l hope
you and the damn Dago will be happy
Goodby, and God bless You until we
meet face to face in He'll, if there is
such place. Don't worry over my
death. JIM
Part of that letter is too sacred to
print, its condolences and its awful bit.
terness almost indescribable. 1t was
hastily scrawled in lead pencil on
sheet of writing paper, and sealed in
hastily addressed envelope. The note
was found in the room.
Deliberately Planned
Death had been planned deliberately
and as deliberately carried out. A
check was made out in his bank book
on the First National Bank for $1O6. 40
in favor of j. r. T. Barton, his brother.
On his writing pad was a calculation,
the sum of which corresponded to the
figure on the check, indicating that he
had figured out his balance and so dis
posed of what is probably the most inn
portant of his effects.
The room was in much the order to
be expected in the room of normal
young man. Photos of his parents
smiled serenely down at his dead body
from their post of honor on the bureau.
A pile of photographs in a basket just
beside, snapshots of happy events in
which he had figured, showed signs o
having been recently looked over.
Barton was twenty.six OF seven
years of age, and extremely popular
among those who knew him. He was
liked at Benson G. Smiths where he
worked and up to the time of his
death had given no evidences OF any
but the best of spirits.

LOWELL, Massachusetts, April H.

lane, "a; Samuel Parker, I5S; Carl A.
Widemann, 1874.
There was a decidedly lively discus
sion between j. P. Cooke and Henry
Van Gieson, secretary of the club, in
the afternoon. 1t was discovered that
VAN Gieson had taken the club q
registration book out in the precinct
for the purpose of registering lot of
names. Cooke declared this an unfair
procedure, and was very hot in his
comments upon it. Van Gieson in
sisted that he had done nothing that
| was not proper under the rules.
After the vote was all counted, the
two shook hands and declared for
! harmony. "We'r re all together now for
the ticket" said Cooke, who had made
a hard fight for the ticket that lost.
No Ceremony Here.
There was no standing ON ceremony
in the sixth of the fourth. No contest
had developed and it looked to the
political impresarios, early in the
afternoon, as if there would be little
! doing in the way of votes.
The result was sort of friendly ar
rangememt whereby ten Of the fourteen
nominees for delegates were taetfully
wiped on the slate, leaving the neces-
pary four. About ten voters who
dropped in early in the afternoon saw
the common sense of the arrangement
and easily fell in with the electoral
expedient.
In this wise Raymond X. Duvauehelle,
Apah Manuwaf, John P. Mendoza and
Dick Panaewa were made delegates to
the Republican convention. At five
o'clock the polling place in the fourth
district stables was devoid of judges
and election parapheTnalia. Gan pau

formation vouchsafed by one of the
stable force.

Of the fourth, the afternoon passing
quietly around the voting station on the
Judiciary building grounds. Charles

its candidates getting third the votes
of the winners. Josh Tucker who had
previously withdrawn, got eight votes,
anyway.
The way Achi got the vote out was an
example of good "clean' politics of
the old school. If Achi missed a voter,
then the voter wasn't in the Islands,
and if Aehi didn't have his voter
primed, the voter was deaf. The little
crosses went in ON the first square,
the third square, the fourth square and
the sixth square," with mechanical reg,

George r. Carter, working for an I'M
instructed delegation to the convention
from the thirteenth of the fifth, goes
there himself twenty votes ahead if his
nearest competitor, but by the irony of
fate is pledged for Taft by the result
of the primary presidential preference
vote. President Taft is popular in the
thirteenth precinct of the fifth district.
He got ifty.three of its votes while
Roosevelt got only 81. There was only
one vote for an uninstructed delega.

vote for President of the United States
as did G.. r. Carter.
Although Carter lost out in his pref.
erence campaign he only lost one man
of his ticket, Harry Won Holt beating
Ed. Henriques by two votes. Carter
himself led the ticket with 81 votes
while Eugene K. Aiu also running ON
Carter's slate, received 48. Won Holt
received 38. The other standings were

other was voting for H. Freitas and w.

of himself, Berndt and Ashley. O'Con-

The polling STARTED under inauspi-
cious circumstances for automobiles
came rushing up with about twelve or
fifteen Hawaiians Frimed to vote for
Kailimai, only to find that the pre-
cinct rolls and lists had been misplaced
and that they couldn't vote at all
After waiting about for fifteen min
utes they were compelled to leave for
their jobs and only few got back to
vote. The rolls didn It show up until
about two o clock, a special auto hav-
ing been sent down to the Elk Is Hall
where E. d. Douthitt pnoduced them.
The precinct list had been given to
another man to send to the judges, but
that was also misplaced.
Incidentally, the source of income
for the two autos that worked so as
siduously for the "Hawaiiaa ticket, -
was not discovered.
The full vote poiIed was Ill, although
there were considerably over two hun
bred enrolled. A number of the Ha-
waiians, it is charged in the precinct,
signed both the Republican and Dem
ocratie rolls and took two bites out of
it. The vote stood: H. Freitas, 70;
E. A. Berndt, 65; W. G.. Ashley, IS;

Second of Fourth.
A very lively contest was waged all
afternoon in the second Of the fourth.
The battle was as warm as that of
hotly contested regular election day.
Over dozen automobiles were. called
into use to bring voters to the polls,
and the result was very large vote.
Victory was with the Kuhio ticket,
by very large majority, Atkinson
leading with 164 votes, and Col. Sam
Parker being next with 1853.
