DEMAND RADICAL
ffi )
H
in
T
Special Session of
Legislature Is
Urged.
Radical changes in the municipal net
and tho passing of a direct primary
law aro demanded by tho men back
of a now movement to promote harmony
in the ranks of. tho Republican
party in preparation for tho fight this
coming fall. Tho promoters dcclaro
that the only way to secure tho desired
harmony among tho Republicans, who
aro more or less split by tho fight at
the last convention, is to unito upon
a program which will have for its object
tho advancement of municipal
along modern and progressiva
lines,
It is also planned to secure a special
session of the legislature as speedily
as possible so that the proposed changes
in tho municipal law can be made and
a primary law enacted, both to
effective in timo for uso at tho
fall elections. It !b almost certain that
tho matter will bo taken up with tho
Governor as soon as he comes back
from the mainland, and ho will bo asked
to call a session of tho lawmakers and
-designate i" his messago just what
legislation is needed.
One of tho features of tho campaign
as planned at present will bo tho
nomination of a ticket, which, to quote
A. L. C. Atkinson, "will bo mado up
of the very best material procurnblo in
tho Territory and which will compel
tho support of tho people by its sheer
Therit."
On Field's Beport.
Many of tho suggestions advanced
by tho advocates of this latest "movement
in local politics, are .modeled
Along' tho lines of tho report on municipal
affairs, fi(ed Bonio weeks ago by
E. Gooding Field, expert on municipal
government. Chief among these ,Jast
3W tho"nssortion fundamental
city law is in need of a complete rewriting,
not a patching or a revamping,
but radical and fundamental alterations,
which will chnngo the ontlro
'Structure, bring it up to date, and
the better elements in the community
to sccuro results.
The slogan of tho .new movement will
"bo "back to tho people." According
to A. L. C. Atkinson and others connected
with tho movement, tho plans
have already been discussed by tho
leaders of all tho factions and in general
commended. Said Mr. Atkinson
yesterday:
"Wo aro all Republicans and while
wo may differ in some respects with
each other thcro is no deep seated or
vital cause for fighting. Wo aro all
willing to get togothcr in tho interests
of tho party, ns n whole rather than
of any particular part or faction.
Suro of Success.
"Following the convention those of
us who felt that way decided that tho
bast possiblo manner in which tho party
breach could bo healed effectively
would be to start a propaganda calling
for the advancement of tho interests
of Honolulu city and county. Wo nro
all of us willing to mako sacrifices, and
I bcliovo that wo can put tho thing
through successfully.
"In behalf of the movement it Is
enough to say now that it is progrostivo
in tho truest senso of the word. Wo
want to seo a spccinl session of tho
legislature called as soon as possiblo
and a new municipal net, and a direct
primary law that will give tho peoplo
a chance to say who are to handle tho
funds for their roads and their streets,
and their government, passed then, It
is absurd to suppose that Honolulu, in
this day can remain much longer in tho
Tear of the march of progress, Why
should wo loavo tho control of such
matters matters vitnlly affecting tho
welfare of tho Islands, in tho hands of
tho boaTd of supervisors! Why should
Honolulu, of all cities, stand still, clinging
fast to tho old idea of government,
while nil tho rest of tho world is moving
forward t
Ilia Suggestions.
"Let us got hold of a man liko H.
Gooding Fiold and o competent nttor.

of a heavy practise, and lot thorn draw

SIZE OF SCHEME

. GREATEST ANNOUNCED IN
HAWAII TO DATE.
"Will tho Ullo Railroad Com-
jjauy uiwjuu lis ir&cjt m wo volcano,
If a, hugo botel la built there
on tho plans announced from
IIilo7" was asked of L. A.
Thurston, general manager of
the railroad company, who ax- J
rived from the Big Island, yes-
terday
"I think thcro is no doubt that
the railroad company would build
to tho crater's edgo, under thoso
conditions," said Mr. Thurston. w
"Tho scheme, as it has been
outlined to mo, looks liko the
biggest proposition In, the way of
a wiuub iifupaKttuua Mjut x jiavo
heard of, in all my years in tho
Islands.
"Tho building of a world's
pleasuro and health resort on tho
edge of tho big crater, would
revolutionize Hawaii, from a
tourist standpoint. The special
steamers from the mainland
would bring thousands of tour-
gay tourist resort.
"The new Hilo wharf will ac-
commodate the largo steamships
that will bring tourists, and the
5 extension, of, tho railroad to tho
tIAtir Vnlratln TTrtfl wmitri tnnlfn
the trip an.oasy one."
(Mail Special to The Advertiser.)
HIIX), May 10. Before tho Panama
Canal is opened and about the timo that
tho big exposition will bo ready to start
in San Francisco, ono of tho biggest
undertakings that has ever been put
under way in Hawaii, will bo accomplished.
An enormous hotel, on tho
plan of tho famous Del Monte, will bo
thrown open for tho reception of visitors
to tho volcano of Kiiauca, while in
Hilo another hotel, built on
lines, will bo ready for tourists. Tho
Hilo railroad will havo been extended
to tho new volcano hotel, and this
island nnd, in fact, tho rest of tho
group, will bo in full swing as tho most
advertised tourist resort In tho wholo
world.
Thus, in a nutshell, may tho plans of
ft big syndicate bo told. At tho present
time a Californian syndicate holds an
option over both tho Hilo hotel and tho
Volcano House hotel. Tho syndicate is
composed of big hotel men, who bail
from San Francisco, Los Angeles,
Seattle and Portland.
Option alvon.
Two months ago a representative of
tho syndicate visited Hilo nnd obtained
an option on tho two hotels. Tho
price named can not at present bo
divulged, but Jt is considered to bo
satisfactory,
Tho representative of tliQ Californian
Interests returned to the mainland and
Inst week, a communication was received
in Hilo that opened the oyes of
thoso interested In tho scheme

The whole proposition is to bo deajt

BOSTON, May SI. The llev. Olnr

of tho murderer, in the electric chair
at the Charleston prison last night. Ho
was calm when the cud came nnd walk
ed unassisted to the death chamber,!
and even nssistcd in fastening the apparatus.
"I nm ready to die, now,"

asked. "I nm going to Jesus," wore
his last words.

upon the clergyman and October 31 theljackwarJ '" "iting their views. George
grand jury brought in an indictment,' st""ili w,a? designated by Mr. Cooke
revealing one of the most despicable
crimps of recent years.
While awaiting trial, which had been
set for January 15, Bicheson becamo
despondent and attempted to end his
life in his prison cell by mutilating
himself with n piece of tip. Four surgeons
vi ere hastily summoned by tho
prison officials and his life was saved,
though ho was very much weakened
from, loss of blodd.
About two weeks before the timo set
for tho trial, Bicheson declared his guilt
of the premeditated murder of his
former sweetheart and without a tremor
heard Judge Sanderson sentence him to
death in the electric chair.
An effort was recently made by his
counsel to 'obtain life imprisonment instead
of death us punishment, upon the
pita of insanity, but experts proved the
contrary, nnd the doomed murderer
from that time on lost courage, verging
on complete collapse.
I Bicheson was thirtyfive years of age
f nnd was a native of Bose Hill, Virginia.
Ho was graduated from Wiliam Jewell
' College, Liberty, Missouri, in 1900.
' Later lie took the ministerial course
and was graduated from tho Newton
Theological Institution. He was ordained
to tho ministry in St. Louis and
his pastorate in Massachusetts was bis
