Loqan's Introduction
In introducing Senator Kenyon,
Judge Logan said:
Mr.. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
1t has been customary on occasions
such as the present to say, have the
pleasure of introducing the speaker or
the afternoon. | shall eliminate the
word pleasure for the reason that the
evil days referred to in scripture "t>.at
have no pleasure in them" seem 70
have come.
What pleasure can there be when
the hearts of millions of American
mothers. wives, sisters, daughters
and sweethearts are breaking and
countless millions in other lands are
mourning for their loved and lost
ones.
War, cruel, ruthless and inhuman
hearts and hearths of mankind, never
more TO return until we have peace
peace based upon equal and exact jus
tice 20 all nations and to all men--a
peace that will punish the savage.
blood thirsty Hun for the ravishment
of fair and innocent Belgium, the en-
slavement OF her men and the debase-
ment of her women. A peace that
will define as murder the drowning
OF helpless women and children and
the bombing of hospitals filed With
sick, wounded and dying men. A
peace that will rid the world of mill
tary despots and military despotism
and give liberty and freedom to mill
tary slaves.
Until such peace can be con-
cluded. war work and sacrifice must
take the place of pleasure.
Iowa's distinguished senator. the
Hon. w. 9. Kenyon, has recently re-
turned from the mouth of hell and Will
tell you something of the conditions
existing over there as seen with his
own eyes.
Ladies and gentlemen, Senator Ken

statement Of Americas aims.

indictment Of the militarism
and Prussianism and hellish-
ness which the world faces in
Germany, Austria and Turkey.
In one moment he had his lis
teners sitting tense as he de-
scribed a scene on the battle
front, in another they were
moved to tears by some beauti-
fully appropriate description,
and in the next they were
cheering madly as he depicted
the aims Of, this nation and it's
president in the fight not only
for democracy, but for hui
manity. It was a wonderful
treat for ,Keokuk, and a splen-
did tribute to Keokuk's appre-
citation of Senator Kenyon, that
speech and the audience which
heard it yesterday.
Duty to Tell People.
Il believe, Senator Kenyon said,
"after he was introduced by Judge
William Logan that it is just as
much the duty of members of con-
gress to come home and visit their
people, as it is to spend all of their
time at Washington, to- come home
and tell them of things that are
going on. AS was on my way here
from Washington, / counted up, and
found that eight weeks ago tonight
was standing at San Quentin, at
the end of that part of the line Of
trenches now being held by the
British. We were visiting hidden
battery back in the third line, and a
young French officer who spoke some
English said to us:
eve are driving the Boche out
fast, but Wen drive him out lot
faster, now that you Americans are
in the game
ut was about the time that you
people were entering your churches
for worship that night as we stood
there, and in the darkness saw the
flash of the guns, the breaking OF
the rockets over No Mans land, and
remembered that many writer's
were asking the question where was
God in all this struggle, and as l
stood there, held little service all
my own. Every flash of those guns
meant death, and | wondered where
God was that He permitted this
slaughter. | don't mean that | had
lost faith, because I believe there is
something behind all this in the
scheme of things as God has decreed
them. but something we cannot I'm
derstand The kaiser says God is
with him. but we American people
believe that we are with God in
fighting this battle. We have passed
through the season OF peace on
earth, good Will toward men, since
then. And there never has been a
time when there has been so little
peace, and SO much hatred. Twelve
million men have given up their lives
in three and half years, and there
are forty-five million under arms. The
cost Of this war is seventy-five mil

will run into trillions instead of bill.

staggering figures, with all of this
loss of life, this is no time for pessi.
mism. Justice has apparently been
only delayed. Our ideals must still
hold out. Out of all this discord
has come at least one event of re.
ioicing That is the taking of Jeru-
salem from the Turks, and the firm
resolution that it is never to go back
into their hands.

LUNA SHOOTS SLAUGHTER
AND COMMITS SUICIDE
VA tr-TFT ) res
Was Enraged Because Girl Got
Married

Thomas Spencer, oyerseer on the XII,
lauea plaDtaton on Kauai, first shot his
stepdaughter twice and then committed
suicide last Friday, according to reports
reaching here by returning passengers
on Inter-Island steamers from the Gar
den Island.
Anger because she had left his home
and gotten married is said to have
been the motive for the plantation lu
mas crime. The shooting happened at
Kappa. On Saturday morning the
stePdaughter was still alive, but little
hope was held for her recovery.
Miss Spencer had been keeping house
for her stepfather, but week ago ran
away and was married. Spencer fol
lowed her and induced her to return
in an automobile he was driving, but
at Kappa she jumped out of the ma
chine and an argument followed.
Further angered by some retort of
the girl, Spencer pulled a revolver and
at distance of less than ten feet fired
two shots at her, one bullet grazing
her forehead and the other passing
through both cheeks and her hand,
which she held as q shield before her
face. Spencer then turned the gun up.

viii Come Here To Look Into
GOVernorship After Making
Trip To Alaska -

J.'F. c. Hagens, former head of the
chamber OF commerce, who returned
from Washington yesterday, confirmed
the report that Secretary of the In.
terror Franklin X. Lane intends to visit
the Territory this summer and said he
had gathered from Delegate Kuhio and
others in Washington that in all prob.
ability no successor to Governor Pink
ham will be appointed until after this
visit.
HagPns went TO Washington to in
terview A. Mitchell Palmer, federal
custodian of property owned by alien
enemies, concerning the re organization
of Fl. Hackfeld 4 Co. 90.
Concerning Secretary Lanes visit he
said Delegate Kuhio had said the see
rotary was planning to go to Alaska
and on his way back will visit Hawaii
to investigate personally matters in
connection with the governorship.
What "a to be done in connec ton
with Hackfeld's win probably not be
known until after the re organization
meeting scheduled for next Saturday.
Mr.. Hagens said he had told the fed
eral custodian that if,the stock in the
company were not sold to Americans
the concern might az well shut its
doors as it could not hope to command
trade that would pile up profits to be
/ paid to German owners after the war.
( The federal custodian said he had
set aside the first reorganization be.
cause 1t wus not in line with the policy
he has laid down and not because any
question existed about the loyalty of
the men behind it here. The custodian
intimated that under the federal re-
organization the same five men chosen
as directors before would be put back.

Severed LEG GRIM. |.
TOKEN Of TRAGEDY

OF three japanese fishermen for
whom searching parties have been
pattolling the waters around the Island
of Hawaii for the last two weeks only
the leg of one man has been found,
says the HilO Herald This CHASTITY
proof of tragedy at sea was dis
covered by a relative of one of the
mep, who, still looking for the lost
sampan, saw bits Of wreckage just of
the Puma Coast near the Lyman ranch,
and on making examination, identified
the broken mast and the flag of the
lost sampan. Wedged in between two
rocks so that il could hardly be ex-
tricated, was the leg of a man, torn
off just where the thigh joins the torso.
Leg Of the Captain
Further securing of the waters for
n mile or 80 around the spot disclos-
ed nothing more in the way of hu-
man wreckagle, and the leg was brought
into the Waiakea Wharf this morning
where it became the center of a great
crowd of sympathizing japanese. As
the leg was that of a large man, and
because of certain marks it bore, it
was easily identified as belonging to
Captain Minatoishi, the master of the
wrecked sampan, and the husband of
the little picture bride who has prayed
so long and so earnestly that he might
be found.
Just how the leg was torn from the
body of course, win never be positively
known. Deputy Sheriff Henry X.
Martin, to whom the matter was at
once reported, said that. it was likely
the work of sharks, as this part of the
coast is known to be a haunt of the
big man-eating fish. Just why the leg
was left, however, not even those who
are best acquainted with the. ways of
sharks can conjecture, unless it was be-
cause it was too much trouble to re
lease it from the rocks.
No Foul Play Suspected
There is no suspicion of foul play.
The boat was an old one and either
went to pieces on the rocks, or WAS
sunk further out and the wrcckage
washed up by the sea.
