Pine murderers, will be hanged
together at Oahu prison on Fri
day, October II. Governor
Rinkham was to sign this after
noon the death warrants pre-
pared by Attorney General [.
M. Stainback. 1s......
The crimes for which the two muir.
derers will pay the supreme penalty
were committed some time apart and
on different islands. Garcia killed his
victim, Japanese, at Honokaa Mill,
Hawaii, during a shooting affair in
which he also wounded w. w. West
coat, chief engineer.
Alcantara killed a Filipino woman
by stabbing, and also stabbed Fill
pino man, who eventually recovered.
The murder was at Waipahu, this ISL
and. The first trial resulted in a
hung Jury, but on the second trial a
verdict Of guilty was returned. The
murder was committed during the
middle of the summer.
Garcia's crime was committed in
May of this year, and he was tried in
Judge Glenn Quinn's court on Hawaii.
Several appeals to the governor for
leniency in the case have been made,
but the governor has investigated it
thoroughly, he said today, and is abb
solutely satisfied that Garcia as well
as Alcantara is guilty. The last 1ang-
ing at Oahu prison was last winter
when Yee Yo Keuk, notorious Korean
bandit, paid the final penalty for kill
ing a countryman.

ton as the guest of Senator Sherman,
Secretary ofithe Treasury, and of Mr..
Sutton. The evening before Presi-
dent Harrison's leavetaking his
daughter, Mrs. Mckee, held a fare
well reception.
The majority of the Presidents
have accompanied their successors to
the Capitol to be sworn in, depart
ing afterward in their own private
carriages. Many of them later revis-
tied the White House, but the most
striking of these revisits were those
of President Grant and Benjamin
Harrison. It was more than IL years
after his second term that Grant
paid his visit to the White House, 1t
was during President Arthur's term.
He arrived there unannounced and
was wandering about the building re-
newing old acquaintances, when he
was taken in hand by Thomas Pen
del, the head doorkeeper, who had
occupied the same position during the
Grant Administration.
While President Mckinley was tho
tenant Of the White House he was one
day approached by one of the ushers,
who said: "Mr. President, x-Presi-
dent Harrison is in the East room
just to look around and says not to
disturb YOU Mr.. Mckinley at the
time was holding a Cabinet meeting.
which he instantly adjourned and
went to the reception room to well
come Gen. harrison and his wife.
They spent a pleasant hour with the
President and Mrs. Mckinley in their
private apartments.

America s, Entry Into
War is Discounted BY
Prussian War Minister

London, March 27-The possibility
of American participation in the war
on the side of the Allies was dismiss
ed as a minor matter by Gen. Won
Stein, Prussian minister of war, in an
interview with the Berlin CorespOn-
dent of the Budapest AK Est, accord
ing to a Berlin dispatch to Reuters.
Gen. Won Stein said he did not know
whether the American fleet would
support the British fleet but there
could be no question of an American
continental army in the near future.
He added:
"Our military situation OF all fronts
is good and justifies our best hopes.
It appears that the enemy is preparing
an offensive but we shall resist even a
stronger attack, not only at the front
but also at home. What may hap
pen then we do not know, but come
what may, we shall confront every
thing imperturbably. Our sufferings
are great and our sacrifices gigantic,
but it is just in these things that the
greatest of a nation finds it's express
sion"

Somme the minister said that the Ger
mans had no lack of supplies but that

Cares of State Have Made
Retirement to Private
Life Very Welcome

\ The varied circumstances under
which Presidents Of the United States
left Washington following the ends OF
their terms of office is interesting,
for no two followed exactly the same
course. Each Presidents manner OF
farewell depended upon his tempera-
ment or upon his success in office.
Washington and John Adams and
Jefferson all said farewell with glad
ness in their hearts, for each of these
was we'll along in life at the time
and each was glad to lay down the
formalities of public office.
John Quincy Adams, like his father
before him. did not wait to witness
the inauguration of his successor.
Thomas Jefferson, after two terms in
the White House, said, with tears in
his eyes, that he was glad beyond Elk
preston to return to the "clover
fields Of his farm at Monticello"
Andrew Jackson left the White
House without regret Not that he
was tired of serving his country. but
that age was creeping upon him, and
the mental and physical strain OF
public life was beginning to tell upon
his general health.
President Van Buren, left the
White House on foot, becoming thus
or a sudden once more an ordinary
citizen, the transition taking place

TO SAVE ARMY HORSES

The Connecticut Humane society is
to act as a branch organization Of the
American Red Star Animal Re-
lief of Albany, N. Y, an agency for
the conservation of army animals in
America. 1t has a corps of trained
veterinarians, properly equipped with
supplies, and will save the lives of
thousands of animals, in event of war,
that otherwise would be destroyed
from lack of proper care. The or
ganization is the outgrowth Of a re-
quest made in May, 1916, by Score
tary Baker to the, American Humane
association. Branch organizations
have been established in a number of
the larger cities. An active campaign
is on foot to increase this number.
The most trying period in any war
comes when forces are being mobil-
lied according to a circular issued by
the organization. Great numbers of
horses are brought together in open
camps, without shelter or blankets,
and in the past, thousands have sue
cumbed to pneumonia and other dis
cases.
The organization is developing VOL
unteer veterinary corps, in which vet
erinaries will be enrolled, together
with farriers and grooms who can fur
nish satisfactory references. These
men, it is planned, will be placed at
the disposal of the government and
will be mustered into the regular SER
vice in event of war. The society
likewise seeks to provide large tents,
which may be used as temporary shell
tiers or hospitals. Horse ambulances
in which to move injured animals from
camps to hospitals and supplies. 1t
has started to raise a fund OF $780,
900 with which to provide these me-

WESTERN VILLAGE.
FOLLOWS IN WAKE
OF IT'S RAILROAD
Whole Towns in Oklahoma
Move in Search of New
Prosperity Near
Trains.

Every little while whole town
moves its location in Oklahoma. In
dustrial conditions, the developing
of new regions, the advance of the
railroads to places where there were
untamed cattle and horses; before
have instilled the moving-day spirit.
A man from the little and practi-
cally unknown village of Staunton
said the other day:
'sWell, we had meetin' the other
night and it was the concensus of
opinion that Staunton ought to move
She'll never do any good where she
is at. We can't expect any railroads
and it looks like they amt an oil well
in 10 miles of us. One Of these days
all that is to be seen OF Staunton will
be seen no more"
Just the day before this meeting the
inhabitants Of Staunton heard that
the postofice at the neighboring viii
lage of Healdton had been moved to
John Ringling's new town, named New
Healdton.
Staunton is in the woods, for from
where the train toots, and for 20
years they have had no ambition to
establish thriving metropolis.
Railroads in Oklahoma have been
mathematical more for the building
of new towns near old ones, which
they eventually superseded, than for
high freight or passenger rates. This
is true particularly of that part of
the State formerly known as the Kio-
wa and Comanche Indian country.
Shortly after the opening Of that
country many villages sprang up in
advance of the building of railroads
The railroads found many of them
we'll located, SO far as tonnage In
sight and in prospect were concerned
but they found it more profitable to
sell lots of their own in new towns.
They were in the town site business.
There was Walters down on Bea-
yer Creek. The railroad built a new
Walters upon the hill. A fight be-
tween the towns ensued, grew bitter
and more bitter. At last compro-
mise was effected and the railroad
won.
There was a Bottsford in the new
country. The railroad built new
town near 1t and called it Temple and
old Bottsford was abandoned. There
are many more instances
