Latest Indictment In Badger

HIS ALLEGED PALS
STILL FACE TRIAL
Rumored Sensational Exposes
In Dope Smuggling and

The suspicious Of his attrrnevS nd
fl lends apparently were confirmed this
morning when the latest Indictment
against John r. Scully was n"llp
rossed in Circuit Judge Ashf0rd's =
c0nrt. Although the prosecution has
not openly admitted it yet. the Onin-
ion generally is accepted as fact that
ScuIly has turned states evidence and
that he will take the witness stand
If necess Try. and testify against his
alleged pals, John T. McGrath, George
A. Bower and P. II. BOggs.
The quartet, it will be remembered,
have been indicted twice on charge
OF rObbng a Chinese whom they lured
to cottage at kalihi on a lromse
OF selling opium to him. The first
indictment against the four still stands
though it is said to be defective and
it was for this re son the second true
bill was returned. The first is not to
be prosecuted and at the proper time
will be dismissed.
But McGrath, BOggs and Bower still
face trial on the last indictment, which
has been nolle pressed as against Soul,
ly. 1t is rumored that another mem,
her Of the party stands ready to turn
states evidence if the prosecution de-
sires his testimony.
The case against the four was set
for trial before a jury this morning
but when it. was called new develop
ments came In quick succession. First.
Attorney G. H. Mcbride asked leave

that the trial of the other three de.

prosecution consenting to let the de-

The report that Scully was turning

the city among those who have been
following the case and resulted in ru-

islands.

Sad Mission of Own, Shows
National Sympathy

With sadness OF Their own anI
ready sympathy for the victims of the
submarine IA disaster, officers and
men of the Japanese cruiser Idzumo,
which arrived off port early today.
have already expressed their regret
at the United States navy disaster.
Commander X. Mimura came ashore
today to make an official call upon
Admiral Moore and left a purse Of
500 to aid the wives and families Of
the men lost in the F-4. -
The chief mission OF the ldZumo
here was to bring ashore for crema-

steward. the funeral to be held with
naval honors. The ceremony was per

sailors. died of Deri-beri when
the vessel was bEt a few hours from
Honolulu. He was given a naval fun
eral this morning, the remains being
Cremated at Nuuanu cemetery. The
officers of the cruiser VIII either take
his ashes to relatives in Japan or
leave them to be forwarded by the
local Japanese consul.
Having spent nearly four months
in Mexican waters in the pro-
lection of Japanese shipping, and prin-
cipally to seek out the German cruis-
er Dresden and DESTROY it if possible,
the Japanese cruiser 1dZumO arrived
off port early today and, after taking
on water and provisions. will sail for
Japan. possibly to the Tokosuka naval
station, to await further orders.
The collier kamokura Maru accom-
LanieS the cruiser as a collier.
The Idzumo. which is riding at an.
chOr off the harbOr today, bears no
evidence of having been a victim of
shot and shell from the German war
vessels, despite the report brought to
Honolulu during the latter part OF
1914 that this vessel had steamed into
British Columbia port damaged in
naval engagement.
Whatever injury may have been in
tlicted to the vessel does not appear.
The ldZumO shows indications of CON

and provisions. while officers and

World Series

The great American annual event
is over now, and the question of su-
premacy in the great national sport
is settled, and SO there is little room
for dispute. Boston won four games
out of five by superior batting and
better nerve. There will be some en-
thusiasts who will declare it the great
est team ever, but that is useless talk
as there is no way To compare it with
the other great teams of the game,
but there will be little dispute on the
proposition that the Red Sox team is
the best in the country for the year
1915. Although they won the series
4 to l, the total scores are not far
apart as Philadelphia won the first
game to l, Boston won each of the
next three by a score of 2 to l and
the last by to 1, making the total
score IL TO 10, or by far the closest
scores ever known in the game al
though it has several times required
more games to settle the contest.
