FOR JURY
THEY Object TO
DEATH PENALTY

The examination of the prospective
jurors for the trial of Ice Hin Jou,
the young Chinese who is alleged to
have shot and killed Wang Fook dur,
ing a game Of cards on the steerage
deck Of the Korea short distance
out from Honolulu On the night OF
October II, had not been in progress
more than an hour this morning when
five OF the men called to serve de-
clared that they objected to the In
Fiction of the death penalty. They
were accordingly dismissed The men
who objected to the infliction of the
death penalty are: j. H. Hertsche, b.
q. Clarke, A. S. Prescott, A. Z. w.
Todd. j. Seabery and Frank Hustace.
The jurors we're examined by Lorrin
Andrews for the defense and by c. C.
Biting, assistant U. s. district at
torney, for the government. The pre-
liminary examination, up to the hour
Of going to press. was only well un-
der way and neither counsel had ex-
ercised his right to challenge the
jury.
Chief among the witnesses called
bv the government is Purser Eaton
who arrived this morning On the
Sierra. He is alleged to have been
an eye witness to the alleged shoot
ing and to have wrestled the smoking
revolver from the hands of Jou as the
body of the man shot fell to the
deck. Other witnesses to be called
are, Ng Sui who was a third cook
on the Korea at the time of the
trouble, Hoong Sau, eehecking clerk.
Wong Chung. passenger, and Jimmy
Leong Lau and Zip King, both oilers
on the ship. A feature of the trial
will be the introduction as evidence
of the 80 calibre Smith & Wesson
revolver from which the three shots
are said to have been fired. The re-
volver was placed in a sealed and
STAMPED envelope Immediately after
the accident and so will be presented
in court in the exact 4cOnditioH 1t was
in after the shots were fired
1t is alleged that local Chinese have
identified the accused as highlander
of wide reputation. and that there Is
some reason to think that he was
commissioned by his tong to put
Wang Fook out of the way It is,
on the other hand. alleged that Wang
Fook was the aggressor In the quar-
rel which led to his death, he having
driven the accused into a fit of anger
by applying to him vile and eontume-
lious epithets.

COMPANY PAY S
men FOR FIRE
FIGHTING

Employees OF the InterIsland Steam
Navigation Company were deeply
shocked" last Saturday when word
was passed around that all members
OF the Mauna Kea's crew were re-
ceiying an extra half months salary
for February. for their extra work in
fighting the fire aboard that vessel
at Hilo two weeks ago.
1t appears such procedure is not
required by any rule of precedent in
the service, and the crew had been
given no warning of the substantial
appreciation they were TO get. or
course the Mauna Kea was saved, and
her salvage was due in considerable
part TO the hard labor for long hours
OF her men, but they regarded the toll
as merely a part of their duty, ex-
pecting no recompense.
After the Mauna Kea had seen
saved. brought back to Honolulu and
the ruined cargo of lime and other
merchandise dumped out, the incident
was forgotten. Nothing was said by
the company's officials and the men
considered II closed chapter. Their
surprise can be imagined then, when
they appeared at head quarters to
draw their pay last week, and each
was handed an extra check, totaling
up to half his months pay. with the
Information that II was for service
rendereds during the Mauna Kea con-
flagration. No instance is reported,
however. OF any member of the crew
so far losing his presence of mind
in the surprise as To decline to accept
the little clip Of paper.
Whether this is to be regarded as
the establishment of a new rule by
the inter-lsland for its employees is
not stated.

CARTER TO SPEAK
TO COLLEGE
men

The Experience of My Recent
Trip to the Panama Canal" will be
the subject upon which Ex-Governor
George r. Carter will speak next
Thursday evening when he will be
by the College Mems Club in Cooke
Hall, Young Mems Christian Associa,
ton building. Mr.. Carter made the
trip to the canal in company with
Secretary of War Stimson and party.
Not only will Mr. Carter have an
interesting tale to tell of the canal and
the many wonderful devices connected
with it, but will also speak upon the
future place OF the white man in the
tropics. The invitations which have
been mailed to the members of the
College Mems Club state that there
are three reasons why Mr.. Carter
should address the gathering next
Thursday evening: First, because he
is distinguished graduate Of Yale;
second, because he is one of Hawaii's
leading citizens, having been COVER
nor of the islands, and third, because
he was the chairman of the committee
which raised the funds for the new
Y. NJ. c. A. building.
The College Mems Club, which has
net been long organized, is composed
entirely of young college men who
are members of the association. 1t is
an informal group which meets every
month for social dinner and some
form OF entertainment Any member
of the club who desires to invite some
other college man TO the dinner Thurs.
day night, should notify Secretary Xii.

MAYOR BLANES
MANAGEMENT
Of SCHOOLS
Probably Will Urge Redistricting
of City-WouId Remodel Build
ings to Relieve Crowding.

Mayor Woodward, with Alderman j.
H. Harwell and Councilman Claude
l.. Ashley, made an inspection of a
number Of Atlanta's public schools
that were reported as being most
overcrowded Thursday morning.
The Mayor intimated that he would
issue a formal statement on his OBJ
servations which would be in the ma
ture of advice to the Board Of Edu-
cation and Superintendent William NJ.
Slaton
The party made the tour as the
guests OF Councilman Ashley in an
automobile.
"I am inclined TO believe that most
Of the trouble is due to the manage
ment actively in charge of the
schools" he said
81 am convinced that the over
crowding is not as bad as it has been
pictured. The greatest trouble seems
to me to be the districting of the
city. There doesn't seem to be much
system in the division of the pupils
among the schools"
Would Remodel Buildings.
Mayor Woodward's idea is that
about $50, 900 spent on remodeling old
buildings would give relief for the
next year. He likely will advocate
an appropriation for this purpose be-.
fore the new Council.
Members Of the Council have be-
come much interested in the situa-
ton, and at the next meeting spe-
cial committee to investigate condi-
tons probably will be appointed.
Councilmen say that while they are
powerless to do much before the first
Of the year on account of a lack of
funds that they are determined to do
all in their power to prevent suffer-
ing among Atlanta school children
from bad buildings and overcrowded
conditions next year.
School Heads Blame Council.
The school authorities do not hest
tate to put the blame up to the Coun-
Gil on account of a lack of funds.
President Daley, Superintendent Sla-
ton and others assert that when the
Council was making up the budget
they pointed out the serious need for
larger appropriations and that the
failure of the Council to give the
money is the cause OF the bad condi-
lions.
There is a growing disposition on
the part of a number of Councilmen
to take a hand in the conduct of the
schools. The first step will be to
make a thorough investigation. Then
they can take up the matter of
school districts and other matters of
control through ordinances.
