BY DEFAULT

The charges made by Senator Coke against
John H. Wise will probably be dropped; the
controversy will probably die out. The charges
have not BEEN sustained; they have not even
been put to the test Only public opinion has
been appealed to in this serious matter of alleged
graft.
Mr.. Wise waited here ten days to appear per-
sonally before any authorized body that wished
to Investigate the charges. Nothing was done;
he was not called No investigation of any kind
was made
Occasionally self-appointed censors of the
press indulge in criticism to the effect that the
newspapers talk FOO much', athe newspapers
fling around CHARGES loosely
This was not a newspaper issue: it was raised
as the result of atement deliberately set forth
by Senator Coke in which grave charges were
made. Clerk Wise met the charges with flat and
explicit deniaIs. The facts in the case could
have been easily obtained by the authorities with
the power to go into the records
Senators who at the last session were in
charge of printing and accounts could have as
certained the facts But nothing was DONE
Probably not great deal of harm was
wrought nor great deal Of indirect benefit ac-
complished by the controversy. The whole incl
dent, however, with its result of nothing DONE
does not reflect credit on the community. Direct
allegations of graft should not be disregarded
because of apathy and general shifting or re-
sponsibility.

DELAY is THREATENED
IN THE kEAL0HA CASE

Although John Kealoha, the Hawaii
county supervisor now under fire, and
David Nation are in Honolulu, and
although Attorney Claudius Mcbride,
the supervisors legal counsel. assert
ed this morning a large number OF
witnesses in the impeachment pro-
ceedings will arrive from Hilo Satur-
day morning, it is unlikely their ev-
dence will be called for another week
or two at least.
The impeachment hearings are not
expected to begin before that time.
Mcbride informed Attorney General
'Thayer this morning he will file a
plea in abatement tomorrow morning,
his first move in dilatory tactics, to
Delay the hearings. In answer the
attorney general will probably enter
his demurrer on Friday, and Chief
Justice Robertson is expected to or
der hearing on this for 10 O'Clock
Saturday morning.
Further efforts by Mcbride to delay
the actual hearing are anticipated.
Meantime, he says, he is informed
that large number of witnesses who

cution are planning to come to the
capital city on the next Mauna Kea.
If this is true, they may have to wait
here an indefinite length Of time be-
fore their services are required.
The witnesses are coming merely at
the request of the business men of
H..waii county, who are anxious to
have the impeachment heard, and not
on any subpoenas, such as ordinarily
are issued by the court. Subpoenas
could not very Wen be issued at the
present time, for the reason, as al
ready told in the Star-Bulletin, that
the territory has no authority to pay
witnesses or any other expense con-
nected with the impeachment. The
responsibility of gathering and pro-
vio1ng for the payment of witnesses
rests entirely with the citizens of Ha-
wall county, for whom it is understood

HALSEY BRIDE
LETTER TAKEN
AS HUGE JOKE

Uniting in what would appear to
DE a renewed attack on the federal
immigration station, the four leading
local Japanese newspapers have tax
en- up the matter of the bride letter
received yesterday by Inspector Hal
sey to the extent of branding it as
a huge joke on the part of some per-
son or persons who are intent upon
ridiculing the federal office.
thus far, the Japanese papers have
touched but lightly on the matter,
referring to it but briefly. A trans
alton of On editorial appearing in
the Hawaii Shinpo, made this morn.

"A queer letter has reached Mr. Hal
sey which offers him $500 for the re-
tease of the five members of the ia
panese excursion party. We think
that this letter must have been writ

person writing 1t must have been era

ike to know who the writer is, and
assist in having him condemned. We
understand that the immigration au-
thorities are trying to solve this
question now
Speaking from the standpoint of
his paper, Mr.. Sheba said:

either try to see him personally or
else reach him in some roundabout
way What can Mr.. Halsey do when

such a letter, and further. do not
believe that the letter was written by
"a Japanese"
Editor Shibayama, of the Japanese
Chronicle, said this morning that his
paper was considering the matter
from two points of view; first, that
the bribe letter was planned by some
one who is endeavoring to ridicule
the local Japanese. or, second, that
it was written by some person who is
trying to make fun of the immigration

An impartial observer needs only to look at

TWO AUTOS ON $40 WEEK.
Cashier of Flour Company Charged
with EmbczzIement of SJ5,GOO.

New York, Sept. 10.-After spending the
summer with a woman he introduced as
his wife at the exclusive Garden City
Hotel Keeping up one, and possibly two,
establishments I'm the city and running d
pair of automobiles on salary of s2J a
week, John G. Schildknccht, cashier in
the export department. Of the Washburn-
Crosby Flour COMPANY, at NO. l. Battery
place, disappeared suddenly a week ago,
when his employers discovered that their
accounts were tangled up. Yesterday aft
ernoon the Burns Detective agency sent
out 1000 circulars. giving n description Of
young Mr. Schildknccht and Offering a re-
ward of $500 for his arrest as an embez-
zler.
Schildknecht was a trusted employee Of
to the time Of his departure, his employ
ers said Yesterday, having been with the
company for three years. Two years ago
he was promoted to the otlIce Of cashier
and bonded for $4,000. It was said by the
bonding officials Yesterday that his defal-
cations amounted to at least sj5 400, and
possibly more.
The method said to have been employed
b. the young cashier was very simple.
For nearly two months, it was said, he
had been putting the cash paid over to
him by the statesmen into his pocket and
falsifying the record to make it appear
as II the accounts were still outstanding.
BY the time the second months ac-
counting reached the headquarters Of
the company, in Minneapolis it was
seen that something was wrong. a
long distance telephone call came to
the New York office on August %.
That day Schildnecht went out to
luncheon earlier than usual and never
came back. Since then detectives have
been digging up his history.
A year ago, it appears. Schildknecht
rented an apartment at No. 425 West
Hath street under the name of Taylor.
He moved in there with n woman who
passed as his wife Soon they had two
automobiles. Much of the couples
time. accor ling to the Investigators of
the guarantee company, was spent at
Garden City
There the two posed as millionaircs
paying s115 a week for one of the fin
est suites in the house. They enter
tained literally, and Schildknecht be-
came famous for his royal spending.
1t was not unusual for him to send out
a SO bill for box of cigarettes and
tell the boy to keep the change
This was only in the evening and on
holidays, however On work DAYS
young Schildknecht became the $50 a
week cashier and worked indust triously
at his desk, giving those around him
no reason to suspect his altered cir
cumstances. He Travelled to Garden
city in an ordinary day coach, but to
and from the hotel he rode in one of
his own motor cars, and the chauffeur
who drove him received $75 a month
out of the young clerks $50.

DEPORTATION ON
MINISTER'S ORDER
"Will Be Able to Justify Action
We Have Taken," Says
DOherty.

Ottawa, Sept. 10.-The minister of JUS
tice. the Hon. C. j. Doherty, who is
acting minister Of the interior, issued the
order directing the deportation of Harry
Thaw and explained the reasons for his
action in a statement to the Canadian
press to-day. Mr.. Doherty pointed out
that acting minister OF the interior
it was his duty to enforce the provisions
Of the immigration act. He had done
that simply and nothing more. Thaw, he
said, had entered Canada Illegally and a
board of inquiry had ordered his depor-
tation. From that order an appeal had
been taken TO himself. II had been con-
sidercd and rejected, and under the law
the fugitive had been deported forthwith.
Asked as to how this action of his
could be reconcled with the court order
for Thaw's production in Montreal on
Monday, Mr.. Doherty said:
There has been no order or anything
purporting to be an order restraining the
minister from the exercise of his func-
tions. The order was to officers of the
immigration department then in custody
Of Thaw. BY my orders he has been
taken in charge Of other officers and
taken across the border I saw absolute
lv no reason for refraining to do my duty
and carry out the law merely because
