CONSTRUCTING THE BIG GUNS
Enormous Amount of Labor Involved
In the Making Of These
Weapons Of War.

A fascinating sight is to watch the
first stages in the manufacture of the
big guns, which are proving so devas'
tating in the war. A solid ingot of
steel, some fifty feet in length and
weighing about one hundred tons, is
employed in the making of a 13-inch
gun. After being forged and then sS
toughened for the heavy work, this 81.
gantic bar of steel is pressed into cylin.
drical shape by a powerful hydraulic
press, which exerts pressure of any
thing between 5000 to 10000 tons tc
the square inch. Later what is known
as the trepann'ng operation is carried
out, namely drilling the bore from end
to end. Next the bore is rided.
The most impressive sight, however,
is the hardening process, when the
rough weapon is heated to dazzling
white heat and plunged into well
full of oil. If the operation takes
place in the night time the sight OF
this big, glowing bar of metal being
lowered apparently into the bowels OF
the earth issuing leaping tongues OF
flames from the burning oil, may be
likened to a scene from Dante's Infer
no. The gun is left to cool in the Oil
bath, out of which it comes hardened,
toughened and tempered.
Now follows the wire-winding opera
tion to make the weapon stronger and
impart to it some measure of elastic
ity. This wire winding is much the
same in principle as the whipping on
the handle of a cricket bat. In this
case, however, the whipping takes the
form of a strong steel ribbon, which
is wound around the body OF the gun
Every 13-inch gun has about one nun
dred and twenty miles of this steel
ribbon wound about it. Some idea OF the
labor involved in the manufacture oi
one of these guns may be gathered
from the fact that from start to hnlsn
the time occupied is II months.

WITH HEAD ERECT
MURDERER HEARS
DEATH SENTENCE
PAX Chi Ser, Who Killed Wife,
May Hang After Expiration
of Fourteen Days

.'ls is the judgment and sentence of
this court that you suffer the death
penalty" ~: j. @%s.
Circuit Judge Ashford this morning
for the first time in his career pro-
nounced a sentence of death. PAX Chi
Ser, the Korean who was found guilty
of having murdered his wife in Liliha
street the night of May "a, stood with
head erect as the sentence was inter.
preted to him. There was a faint
smile on his lips, but he said nothing.
Unless executive clemency is grant
ed, PAX Chi Ser will hang after two
weeks have expired. The court has or
dered that the execution be at Oahu
Prison. The time Of the execution will
be fixed in the governors warrant,
which will be executed by Acting Gov.
ernor Wade Warren Thayer, Governor
Pinkham being absent from the terri
tory. ..
Statements of counsel andsthe court
regarding the case, and the sentencing
of the defendant, consumed little more
than Is minutes. Judge W. j.. Robin
son, who defended the Korean, had
nothing to say. A. Nj. Brown, deputy
city and county attorney, asked that
the death penalty be imposed.
PAX Chi Ser said he had no reason
to offer why sentence should not be
pronounced against him. His head was
was bowed when he made this state,
ment through an interpreter.
AS you have been found guilty of
murder in the first degree" said Judge
Ashford, "the law provides death as
the punishment 1t is well that you,
as well as others, understand that in
cases of this kind the court has no
discretion. 1t must impose sentence
of death and no other. I'M
THE Judge particularly at a time
like this is but an instrument of the
law; he is merely cog in the machin.
cry of justice, and must act without
any discretion whatever.
You will understand that in impos-
ing sentence on you, the judge of this
court is not acting upon his own voli-
tion, but as the mouthpieee of justice
and society in general -

DUTY ON
SUGAR IS VOTED
down BY FIJIANS

BY an almost Unanimous vote the
members OF the Suya Chamber of Com.
merce have voted down the proposi.
ton to raise special war fund by
the imposition Of special export tax
on all sugar shipped from the Fiji is
lands.
The project was first preached by
the Hon. J. M Hedstrom, who vigor.
ously defended his idea at a special
Chamber Of Commerce meeting called
tc consider the proposed tax. Mr..
Hedstrom declared that the colony
needs funds, especially in view of the
fact that but little borrowing could be
done for public improvements, and
that the sugar producers. being the
only people in the Fiji islands who
has been benefited by the war,
should supply what money is needed
by special war export tax on sugar.
Sugar. declared Mr.. Hedstrom, has ad-
yanced SIS a month for three months,
directly because of the war.
After four hours of discussion of the
matter a motion affirming that the
proposed export sugar duty was not
approved by the chamber, was car
ried. The cnly person voting against
the motion was the Hon. Mr.. Heds.
