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

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

hicles, tires and wheels," as follows:
"The wide tire law is now in force
in many States of the Union and its
general efficiency and favorable work
ings is daily becoming more recognized
and has exceeded the most sanguine ex
pectations. "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.

of Kaio. 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
