ONE PERSON WHO
Is OPPOSED TO
PINKHAM-N0W

There is at least one person in the
territory who, frankly is opposed to
the appointment of anyone as Cover.
nor before October 5. That person
is Miss Margery MCGUIRE, steno-
grapher in the governors office She
has not had her annual vacation and
if the new governor comes before
that date she probably viii not get
the vacation.
Following Governor Frear's depart.
ure yesterday, Acting Governor Mott
Smith sent George Clark, the private
secretary, away on his vacation, to
continue until October 5. On that
date, if affairs continue as at pres
ent, Miss Mcguire plans to visit San
Francisco. witness the Portola festf
val and incidentally see the Hawaiian
swimmers try for another triumph in
the aquatic events of the festival
week.
But if the new chief executive ar.
riyes before the fateful date it prob
ably will mean another year of dull
work without rest for hef.

8 TOXIC, Sept. 11.-Making his way
to the doors of the foreign office, a
youth dramatically ended his life
when he reached that place this
morning. Throwing a piece Of paper
into the air, on which he had written
his confession as being one Of the
two assassihs who took the life OF
Moritaro Abe. director of the politi-
cal bureau of the foreign office, the
young man killed himself.

ment of China for the Marking affair,
called and after admitting being one
Of the two murderers Of Abe, ended
his life by harikari.
The young mans name was Okada.
While the attorney FASTENED to the
police to give word of Okada's con-
fession. the latter wrote a letter of
confession addressed to the chief OF
police of Toxic Finishing the note,
he committed harikari.
With the two suicides, the police
have given up hunting for other per
sons who may have had some part in
the killing. They are inclined to be-
lieye the statements of the two youths
that they were the only ones involved
in it. The full details Of the confess
sions have not been given out; but
the reason for the murder is known
to have been due to the attitude of
the foreign office, as expressed by
Abe, regarding thefC China affair.
