ARMS WERE SORE
BUT THEY SMILE
THOSE WHO SHOOK HANDS WITH
SMALLPOX VICTIM ARE
RELIEVED.

Members Of the general assembly
who have been wincing during the
past several weeks as they attempt
ed to punctuate their speeches with
gestures, and State officers whose left
arms have been aching are smiling
again today They have been vaccin-
ated, but they are satisfied and think
the little operation worth all 1t cost.
The reason for vaccination and for
smiles was made known yesterday for
the first time. 1t appears that several
weeks ago q citizen came to the gen.
eral assembly from distant part of
the State, shook hands with a num-
Der of the legislators and then trans
acted some business in one of the
capitol offices. None who greeted him
noticed anything unusual about his ap-
pearance. On the contrary. he was
made welcome and was most cordially
received
But within a few days came the
alarming news that immediately upon
mis- return home. he had developed
smallpox and had been placed under
quarantine. To those Who learned the
! facts and were not protected by vac
ctnation, this news spell CONSERVATION.
The prospect Of an outbreak of small
pox in the solemn council of the gen.
eraI assembly of Virginia was enough
TO start Il panic. especially among
those who femembered when MEM
Der OF the State legislature, going
home at the end If the session several
years ago had developed smallpox and
! died.
! Word OF the smallpox scare was car
( ried at once to the State board of
health whose officers proceeded with
4 out delay to eaccinaie the clerks in
the department where the visitor had
called. A distinguished state Of
ficer, head of a large department of
1 the government, was also glad to roll
up his sleeve for the same purpose.
/ Announcement was then made TO the
/ general assembly that members who
! wished to be yaccinated would be
waited en- If they called at the offices
fof the board Of health. To the de-
( light Of all, the stepc taken removed
any danger to which the members
and officers Of government might have
been subjected.
! With this exception, the smallpox
/, situation during the last few DAYS has
remained unchanged A few new cut
breaks have been reported and much
vaccine has been ordered from the
State board OF health. I'VE are never
easy, however" said an officer of the
I board land we have no assurance but
! that smallpox viii speedily spread
The one way and the only way to
prevent 1t ~ by vaccination"

Slayer Of Police Officer Manuel D. "A
Spend Life in Prison

This morning Governor Pinkham
signed the necessary papers that will
allow Henry Francis Furguson, who
was sentenced to death for the muir
der Of Police Officer Abreu, to live
out his life in prison. The connmnta,
tiOn Of the death sentence has been
rather expected, and the letter OF
the governor to Attorney General
Stainback fully explains the reasons
the chief executive had for eommut.
ing the death sentence. A copy of
the letter was also sent TO the high
sheriff and Furguson was at once in
formed Of his reprieye.
The communication to the attorney
general follows
Executive Chamber,
Honolulu, Hawaii, May 3, 1914,
Hon. /. M. Stainback. Attorney Gene
raj, Honolulu, T. H.
Sir: In committing the sentence of
death imposed by the court on Henry
Francis Furguson to imprisonment
for life, it is proper a record be made
OF the reasons therefor.
This young man Within the space Of
4 few days committed four crimes,
two Of them or the most serious char
acter. one being that Of murder In
the first degree. for which crime the
law properly prescribes death as the
penalty, leaving no power of discrim-
ination on the part Of the presiding
Judge.
In case the rigors Of law need mod.
ification, the decision is left to the
Judgment and conscience of the gov.
ernor.
believe that the safety Of society
demands the exercise of the death
penalty, but its severity should be
modified where there is question
as to the full moral responsibility Of
the criminal.
That the deed in this case was most
narrowing in its results Is true, and
only the findings of a careful inEes-
tigation can justify leniency, and even
then there is q struggle to refrain
from exercising it.
That Henry f. Furguson is con.
scious of right and wrong in the pri-
