Discussion Of the Case By Council Of State Views of President. the IF YOU BUY A SINGER, You will receive careful Instruction a competent teacher at your from home. A meeting of the Council of State to consider applications for pardon was held in the hall of the Senate at the Executive Building yesterday after noon at 2:30. President Dole was in the chair and C. Bolte acted as Secre tary. There were in attendance besides Minister Damon, Attorney - General Smith, Mr. Ka-ne, Mr. Ena, Mr. Cecil j Brown, Mr. Kennedy, P. C. Jones, W. for the Jefendants in the case, he v.'culrl no: vote upon the petition of Kaif), but would ak leave to speak up on the matter. The fact was that the motive for the crime attached itseif readily, at once and clearly to Kapea. There is a marked distinction between the offending of Kapea on the one part and Kaio and Upapa on the other. Kaio had always borne an excellent reputation and it appeared on close ex amination that, as the President had said, Kapea was the leader throughout and Kaio an unwilling accomplice. Throwing leniency to the father will not evidence palliation of the crime. Mr. Robertson thought the Kauai peo ple had too much local feeling in the case were prejudiced. In all inter course, Mr. Robertson had not noticed a trace of bad temper in Kaio and had found him an honest man in all things. iMr. Brown said the taking of a hu man life by the law was an extremely serious matter. The Council is called upon to decide if two lives shall be given for one. The sympathy of all the members no doubt goes out to Honse Committes Unanimously Recommenfls Its Fassase. 1S97, as called for in Senate Hill 2.

"The objection at first urged against its introduction and adoption was mainly on account of the expense in volved in making the noeessary changes, and partly a doubt as to whether the time limit imposed was of sufficient date to permit the ohange. r-xpenence has however demonstrated that the wear and tear on vehicles running on wide tires has been re duced to a minimum, while on tho other hand, the fear of itoo short a time was proven to be groundless.

Attorney-General Smith, bro ther of the late Dr. J. K. Smith, with drew. Cecil Brown translated a peti tion submitted on behalf of Kaio. Pres ident Dole said that until lately he had accepted the popular belief concern ing Kaio's guilt. On investigation he had learned that Kapea was the res ponsible organizer of the assassination conspiracy. Kaio had at times during the talk of the natives concerning the contemplated crime conselled against the proposed murder. It appeared also that Upapa, sentenced to three years, was as prominent in the preliminaries as Kaio. Mr. Dole said the jury had doubtless found correctly upon the facts as presented to them, but it seem ed 'that all the truths were not fully understood. The President continued that in his cpinion the taking of life by law was largely for example and that from such a view one execution might be sufficient. Ail who had written from Kauai to the President were opposed to commutation for Kaio, saying that h? M-as a revengeful and wicked man. He is a half Malay.
