HIGH SHERIFF

Furguson Is Hardly Rational,

of Careful Study of Man

After weeks of daily observation,
High Sheriff William Henry is now
convinced that Henry Francis Fhrgu-
son, the youth sentenced to the gal
lows for the killing Of Police Officer
NJ d. Abreu, is a mental irresponsible
and should not be forced to pay the
extreme penalty for his act.
II believe ne is hardly a rational
person." said the high sheriff, who
has had the custody of the boy since
the latter received the death sentence
more than a month ago. and my the
ory is strengthened by a statement
which the lad made to me recently in
response to questions. He said that
when he was very young he was the
victim Of an accident. falling from a
haymow onto machinery stored in a
barn and receiving a wound in the
head from which he was an invalid
several months.

Rapid Transit officials in Honolulu
are entirely certain that no radical or
even important change has been
brought up for the franchise extension

A wireless dispatch to the Adver-
tiser last night, stating that President
L. Tenney Peck of the company, be-
fore sailing for Honolulu, had said
that. IAN entire new deal was under

OF the company, who say that an OBJ

terpreting what was probably Presi-
dent Peck's real statement.
The dispatch said: .
L. Tenney Peck. president Of the
Honolulu Rapid Transit and Land
Company, sailed for Honolulu on the
steamer Mongolia today He reported
that the Rapid Transit franchise ex-
tension bill is progressing in Con-
Eress. but that an entire new deal
was under way, as Honolulu munici-
pality will eventually own the system.

this morning that he Is confident no
change In the bill is contemplated !.
He points out that the clause dealing
with the acqnisitionaof the line by the
city has been in the bill all along.

ed statement before the sentire new
deal seems 70 have caused the idea

the case. Certainly We have heard
nothing whatever from Mt Peck to

ST. LOUIS BOYS
CELEBRATE XMAS
THIS AFTERNOON

This afternoon in the school assem-
bly, hall the students Of st. Loiils Col,
lege are holding their annual Christ
mas exercises. Many parents and
friends of the students present to- zee
the boys, young and old, render the
program which they have worked so
hard in the past three weeks TO pre-
pare. The program consists Of eigh.
teen numbers and nearly all the
grades Of the school are represented
by either individuals or bodies OF
students who will recite in chorus.
The first few numbers consist Of
chorus recitations by the boys Of the
lower grades and the rest OF the pro-
gram is In the hands of the older
boys. The band has been working
hard for the past weeks and under
the supervision of Brother Francis
will be able to give some good selec-
uons. -
. What promises to be one Of the
most interesting of the numbers is
"An Indian Raid" which will be pro-
dHced by the second grammar. The
story is Of a city cousin who goes out
West and there he tells of what he
would do to the Indians If they med
died with him and brags of his
strength and fearlessness. Because
he is of this nature the country boys
dress up as Indians and scare him so
that he promises to be good to the
Indians and hold them in respect.
The Miser'S Fate" will also be good
for those who are to give 1t have
worked hard and have their parts we'll
In hand. The sixteenth number. "a
Bit Of Minstrelsy," will be one Of the
humorous numbers and the Brothers
who have charge of it say that Nye
and Cockett as coons and Carvalho
as the white man will bring down the
house.

BRITISH WARSHIPS
PROTECT JAPANESE

Especial Cable to the Nippu Jill
TOXIC, Japan, Dec. ia special
dispatch received here today from
Ambassador Adachi, Japan's repre-
sentative in Mexico City, is to the
effect that the Japanese residents
there are now being protected by
the several British warships. The
dispatch also says that, in strength,
the Federal troops are superior to
the rebels, due probably to the re-
cent victory won by the former at
Tampico. The Japanese residents
says the dispatch, have not as yet
been subject to any serious danger.
