RESPITE IS GRANT,
 ED TO BULCER
Action Of Court in Issuing Stay Execution is Declared be Un- precedented in Annals of Cri- mlnal Laws of Colorado.

Denver, Nov. 5.-Less than twelve hours from the time set for his exc cution the Colorado supreme court to- day granted a stay of execution until January ?, 1916, in the case of James Bulger, sentenced to be hanged for the murder of L. F. Nicodemus, a Denver hotel man.
 The court further ordered that the district court in which Bulger was convicted reconsider Bulger's case with reference to Bulger's sanity.
 The action of the supreme court is said to have been unprecedented in the history of Colorado and one of the very few cases where similar &C., tion was taken, in the history of American criminal law.
 Bulger, soldier of fortune, a Ma dero general during the Mexican rev. olution against Porfrio Diaz, and a veteran of numerous uprisings in Qua temala, Peru and Honduras, was over come at the news which reached him in the death cell at Canon City.
 "I had given up all hope. and was prepared to meet my God" he told his informers. Thomas J. Tynan, warden, said it was the best news he had heard in months, since he be- lieved there was question as to Bull gers sanity.
 Bulger while intoxicated shot and fatally wounded Nicodemus, one of the proprietors of local hotel where Bulger was maintaining headquarters for a recruiting station to raise reg iment for service in an expected war between Mexico and the United States.

WILL HOLD STATE FAIR
 IN LITTLE ROCK 1916
Committee Appointed to Make Plans for Enterprise to be Submitted at Future Meeting
 Business Men-Fair too Small

Little Rock, Nov 6.-At confer ence of Little Rock business men held at noon Friday, it was decided to hold a State Fair in Little Rock next year. A committee of which H. F. Auten is chairman and Carl Baer secretary, was appointed to make plans for the enterprise, to be submitted to another meeting of business men to be held on some date to be called later.
 The other members of the committee are County Judge Joe Asher, Mayor Chas. E. Taylor, Chas. s. Stifft, James B. Dickinson, Max Heiman, J. R. Alex ander B. P. Slaughter, Fred Heiskell Elmer E. Clarke, W. L. Hemingway, Moorhead Wright, A. D. Kahn, c. J. Griffith, Joe Lyon, H. M. Bennett, Commissioner John H. Page, and c. W. Watson.
 County Judge Joe Asher explained that four years. experience has proven that the people will not adequately support an institution so purely local as a county fair. It is too small to attract outside attention, and has therefore proven unprofitable. A mo- tion was made and prevailed unani- mously that the county fair be dropped and State Fair be put on.

United States Geological Survey and State Cooperate in Measuring Vol ume of River Flow.

The United States Geological Sur vey is cooperating with the Board of Water Engineers of the State of Tex as in Investigating the streams of the State, provision for the work having been made by the State Legislature.
 Brazos and Colorado rivers, the Con- cho and its North Fork, Eric, Guada- lupe, and Llano rivers, North Fork of the Llano, and Nueces, Pecos, San Saba, San Antonio, San Marcos, and Trinity rivers are to be studied to as- certain the quantity of water that the streams carry and the methods by which it may be utilized.

MARK TWAINS PROSE POEMON
HAWAnMEMORIzED IN SCHOOLS

in the last number OF Educational Re
view. which is published by the de-
partment of public instruction and dis.
tributed With the Star Bulletin. Gerrit
P. Wilder, who designates Kaiulani as
"his school" told the children a num-
Der Of anecdotes regarding Mark
Twain. In the grammar grades, the
memory lesson for today was the
prose poem written about Hawaii, and
many Of the children mastered it
thoroughly.
Excerpts from Mark Twain's sew
eral books were read to the pupils at
the Royal school
Little programs were had in each
room at Central Grammar school in
observance of the day. Excerpts from
his works were read. as well as the
prose poem about the islands.
When Prof. Marion FL. Scott, prin.
cipal of the Mckinley high school,
chooses to make people laugh, he is
a past master in the art, and this
morning he kept the teachers and stu
dents holding their sides while he re-
lated anecdotes and personal recollec.
tons of the great American humorist
Then extracts from Mark Twain's life
were read, and snally his famous tn.
butte to Hawaii.
At Oahu college. brief but pretty
exercises were held. Nora Gardner
of the. junior class read a sketch of
the life of Mark Twain which she had
written. Her sketch was chosen from
sketches written in competition by
the members of the class. A selection
from Tom Sawyer was recited by
Elizabeth Hobby. Exercises we're also
held at the preparatory school.
Every public school in Honolulu,
and also in other parts Of the terri
tory. paid tribute to Mark Twain to.
day. Tom Sawyer and "Huck' Finn
had their destinations, but in every
school the children seemed to prefer
the humorist's famous tribute to Ha-
wall, which ends with "In my nostrils
still lives the breath of flowers that
persisted 20 years ago." and which ex.
presses the great love that Mark
Twain had for the Paradise Isles.

MARK TWAIN DAY.

Many eminent critics at. home and abroad
have called Mark Twain the greatest American
writer. His claims to the title are abundant
His prose Is not as faultless English as that Of
Nathaniel Hawthorne; he built no novels OF
sweeping conception and imagination; his
short stories lacked the well-knit form of Poe s.
But Mark Twain surpassed all of his predeces-
sors, contemporaries and successors in portray
ing with fidelity phases of American life. He
wrote with such remarkable faithfulness that
he appears. to the reader not as an observer of
events but as one of the participants In his
treatment Of themes he is more of an indvid-
nalist than either Poe or Hawthorne, both of
whom respected and initiated the art of others
to such an extent that their work remains to
rs as the polished Improvement of what others
attempted, instead of pioneer ventures into
new paths sas
Mark Twain Is probably the bestowed of
al American writer's. His humor, tenderness,
lightning play Of wit, his flashing eloquence,
his breadth of observation, his scorn of pre-
tense and haired of hypocrisy; his genuine
humbleness whole galaxy Of admirable and
IoVable traits are evident in his writings, and
the writings were typical Of the man. He
wrote as he talked, as he spoke, as ne felt, as
he lived His own character is revealed in the
Characters he created in that great brain, and
50 many sided was his imagination that these
Characters never lost their consistency He
made "'Huckleberry Finnv preach whole
some temperance sermon in two sentences;
Pudd 'nhead Wilson is full of wisdom The
Prince and the Pauper' carries moral as
eternal as that in Gray 5 Elegy.
No American writer ever deserved better at
the hands 81 his country and future generations
than does Mark Twain. His pen won the adj
nifation 81 the world; he was q splendid
American gentleman, rugged, fearless. honest,
sincere upright, d man who broke bis health
1i<eharginB huge financial obligations and
with smile and laugh faced penniless flu
Inre Only genius could haYe rehabilitated
bis fortunes; only rare temperament could
have come through the ordeal sweeter, cleaner,
eentler, as his temperament came through.
Hawaii owes special debt Of love and re-
spect to this great American, not only because
he has painted in a few phrases an imperisha-
be picture of these islands, but because in
many other references he showed an apprecia-
ton Of island life and longing to return. And
1s consequence Hawaii has always had a
tpecial regard for this loyal brave-hearted
American citizen
Mark Twain Day is happy medium for
voicing Hawaii's love of Samuel l.. Clemens.
