the dogs and advanced to meet him.
A dozen PAGES ahead of the team it
stopped and waited.
"Our dogs are so near exhaustion
that we're afraid to take them any
nearer" said a voice. They'd die like
puppies under those packsT'
The voice thrilled Jan. He advanced
with his back to the fire, so that he
could see the stranger.
You come from Churchill" he
asked.
His words were hardly question.
They were more of an excuse for him
to draw nearer, and be turned a little,
so that for an instant the glowing fire
flashed in his eyes.
Yes; we started from the Etawney
just a week ago today"
Jan had come very near. The stran-
ger interrupted himself to stare into
the thin, fierce face that had grown
like a white cameo almost within
reach of him. With a startled cry he
drew a step back, and JAMS violin
dropped to the snow.
For no longer than a breath there
was silence. The man wormed him
self back into the shadows inch by
inch, followed by the white face of the
boy. Then there came shrilly from
JAMS lips the mad shrieking of name,
and his knife flashed as he leaped at
the others breast.
The stranger was quicker than he.
With sudden movement he cleared
himself of the blow. and as JAMS arm
went past him. the point of the knife
ripping his coat sleeve, he shot out q
powerful fist and sent the boy Keeling
to the ground.

dozen worn, DUSTY things. At the last
one of all, which was more ragged
and worn than the others, he gazed
for long time. 1t was little Bible,
his wife's Bible, finger worn, patched,
pathetic in its poverty. The man gulp-
ed hard.
"She loved this, JAM" he said huski-

"Ah, yes; re leetle Melissa mus love

Cummins rose to his feet and stood
for a moment looking at the sleeping
baby.
"a missionary Is coming over from

 TO FOREIGN SOIL

Washington, Aug 2S-More liberal interpretation of the constitutional provision. which in the past has been accepted as prohibiting the dispatch Sf militia into foreign soil will be had in the coming conference between the staff officers of the war department and the officers of the militia Of the various States. Denial was made that there was an significance in raising fhe auestion at this time.

KIDDER SAYS THE
 LAW PROHIBITS IT
Author of ElectrOcution Bill Says newspapers Win Be Guilty of Misdemeanor If They Print
 Details

Little Rock, Aug 26.-The approach h of September ,, when the first cleo trOcution is to occur under the new law passed by the Legislature of 1913, finds the newspapers of the state in a Quandry. The act declares that newspapers shall not print the de- tails of the executions, but no penalty is. prescribed for violation of the law. This has been interpreted by some to mean that the law is practi- cally dead letter. and that the newspapers may proceed to publish whatever they please.
 But Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Kidder, one of the joint authors of the 1Act, calls attention to the follow ing section of the Digest which, he says, applies to the case:
 'Section 2447. When the perfor nance of any act is prohibited, ol the performance of any act is requir ed by any statute, and no penalty
 
 imposed, either in the same section containing such prohibition or 10 Quiring such act or duty, or in any other section or statue, the doings of such prohibited act or the neglect of such required act or duty, shall be deemed misdemeanor.
 rSection PAS. Every person who shall be convicted of any misdemean OF, the punishment of which is not de- fined in this or some other statute, shall be punished by Imprisonment not exceeding one year, or by fine not exceeding two hundred and fifty dollars or by fine and Imprisonment both."

logical step in election reform. Th, paper of Governors Baldwin and Carey will point out the different stages oi evolution in the methods of selecting public officials from the era when parties and party committees were unregulated by law to the preSen: day stage of primaries and restrict ions upon election expenses. The next step will be no more radical than was the first law which provid- ed for the use of the Australian baa. lot printed at the expense of the pub lie. Many of the corrupt practices acts allow candidate for. state office to spend five thousand dollars in his campaign. This liberality practically shuts out the man not fortunate enough to possess that much money. It is this and kindred problems con- nected with elections which will be presented and discussed
 The Governor S Conference grew out of President Roosevelt's invitation to the Governors of the various state to meet at the White House in May 1906, to consider tho question ot conserva tion of natural resources. All Of the Governors except twelve attended. At this meeting a committee was ap- pointed to call second conference. This was held in Washington in 19lO there. At this meeting it was recon menGed that the next conference D.. held at state capitol and that the Governors meet annually thereafter. Accordingly a third conference was held in the state of Kentucky Nov ember 29-December ,, 1910. Before the adjournment of this meeting it was suggested that the conference be made a permanent institution. The next meeting was held at Spring Lake. New Jersey. The last meeting was held at Richmond. Virginia December 2-7. 1912. and at this meet ing the Governors Conference adopt ed articles of organization, and be- came permanent institution with purposes distincly public and fraught with great possibilities for good.
 The officers of the Conference are: Executive Committee, Governors Me Goven, of Wisconsin,, tChairman) :: 0Neal. of Alabama. and Ammons of Colorado Treasurer: Ex-Governor John Franklin Fort, Newark, New Jersey; Secretary: Miles C. Riley. Madison. Wisconsin.

 The subject ''Distrust of States Legislature The Cause, the Rem edy" will bring out some interesting details. Governors Neal and Hunt have prepared exhaustive and Illuminating papers. Both will point out specifi- cally the acts of Commission and Omission which seem to have re- suited in general distrust of our present legislative bodies. Some in teresting specimens of legislation enacted in the different states will be pointed to as showing the lack Of sense of responsibility existing in legislative assemblies at times and under certain circumstances. Cover nor Hodges will lay especial stress upon ",rhe Remedy" phase of the subject. Just before the adjourn ment of the Kansas legislature this year, Governor Hodges submitted to the members special message pre- senting for their consideration the matter of a one house legislature composed of small number of mem- bers. say one from each congress- ional district and a small number at large. His message and proposition was given wide publicity and has met with keen approval on the part of many close students of political science.
 Governor Dunne, and his legisla- ture, lately adjourned. considered very closely many of the pros and cons connected with the Growth of Administrative Commissions" Cover nor Dunne's paper will, to a con- siderable extent. deal with public utility commissions and with the question of state versus local com- missions for the regulation of utili- ties. The Illinois legislature, before adjourning this year, enacted a law providing for utility commission
 with Jurisdiction co-eXtensive with the state. A few states such as Cali fornia and Ohio reserve home rule to cities, including the authority to regulate the rates and services of public utilities. Much benefit vii, come to the governors and through them to the people by discussion of this subject. The matter of the Growth of Administrative Commiss- ions will be discussed at length
 Many of the states today are ruled by commissioners, members of tax, rail- road, public utility. dairy and food insurance, immigration. banking, workingmen's compensation indus trial. fish and game, efficiency and economy and other commissions The growth and tendencies of these con- missions the governors think both merit and justify discussion.

The Tourist First Musical
Play of Kind Ever to Be
Staged Here

Music, songs and dialogue of THE
Tourist" the operetta that is to be
staged at the Opera House three
nights during Carnival week, have all
been completed anu rehearsals are IN
progress, those who are to take part
in the play meeting every Tuesday
and Friday night at the Kilohana Cluo
rooms for practice.
The plot of THE Tourist is rather
tenHous but there is enough of 1t to
bind together tremendously the many
catchy songs. The music, written by
Carl Miitner, is declared by all who
have heard it to be excellent. There
are more than twenty new songs
topical. sentimental and other kinds,
and in each instance Mr.. Miltner has
in the music he has written caught
the spirit of the words OF the song.
The music is bright. and catchy and
is bound to make a hit, say those
who have listened to it.
This is the first time 4 play has
ever been produced in Honolulu OF
which plot, words, songs and music
were all original. The book and
lyrics are by E. p. Irwin and Will

The title role is taken by r. A.
Douthitt, who made such a mt as
King Koko in the play given by the

Among others who have important
parts are Miss Berry, Hunter Jones'

parts, however. There is also big
chorus of fine Wees The full cast
