A JURY SECURED
E. W. Mai the ; Ha Wio
Mails Up the Dozen.
NIGHT SESSION HELD
First Witness - It Will Be a Long
and Tedious Trial A Tales
man Fined.
A jury for the trial of the five Japa
nese charged with the commission of
murder in the first degree during the
progress of the Kahuku plantation
riot of March 2Cth last, was secure! at
4:40 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
E. W. Jordan, the Fort street mer
chant, was the twelfth man. The other
eleven for the siege are: J. W. Treg
loan, W. R. Sims, Theo Wolfe, John
Effinger, Henry Roth, T. E. Krouse, J.
J. Sullivan, A. W. Howe, Fred W. Mc
Chesney, C. B. Huston and Charles H.
Atherton.
Mr. Jordan wTas about the one hun
dredth man who went into the box. He
told that he was slightly deaf. This
trouble did not seem to be bad -enough
to interfere with the performance of
bis duty as a juror, and as he was oth
erwise qualified, he was sworn in with
the dozen. It was after Mr. Jordan
had developed to be satisfactory that
Judge Robertson, counsel for the de
fense, remarked that be did not caie
to use any more peremptory chal
lenges. Attorney-General Cooper said
for the State for the fifteenth time,
about, that the jury was all that the
people desired.
Judge Perry administered oftlit
the elect twice, having the first time
omitted the names of four of the de
fendants, simply saying "So and so and
others." The jurors were carefully in
structed by His Honor, as were th
bailiffs. The time for this Trial will
be quite close to three weeks. A host
of Chinese and Japanese and a' few
haoles and natives will testify. With
the interpreters and the involving na
ture of the transaction the work of
bringing out the facts will be slow.
When everything was ready for the
opening of the case, Attorney-General
Cooper said that the State was qmie
prepared to proceed, but would prefer
to start "in the morning." Most of
the jurors expressed willingness to
work day and night. W. O. Smith
thought it best to have, proceedings
only when attorneys and jurors were
fresh. A couple of the jurors declared
they were quite fresh, and Judge Perry
decided that the start should be made
at 7:30 in the evening.
At night the lights were bad, but It
was to business at once. The opening
statements were made briefly, and nie
first witness, a Pake, was called. This
man was on the stand till nearly 10
o'clock, when adjournment was taken
to this morning. The Chinaman testi
fied that he had been stabbed by one
of the defendants, and he told of the
part he believed some of the prisoners
had taken in the whole-ale murdering
on that bloody Sunday afternoon at
Kahuku.
The gentlemen of the jury have close
quarters in the Snow cottage, on the
grounds of the Hawaiian Hotel, an 1
will be boarders at the hotel. They
were cautioned not to talk to any one
about the case or to let any one talk
to them about it. The bailiffs were
told to permit no conversation between
jurors and outsiders concerning the
Kahuku affair. It is presumed that the
jury will be given permission to attend
church on Sundays, and if they go in
in a body it will be a new experience
for fomo of them.
Robert Shingle was calW f : r the
jury yesterday. He had not taken the
oath to support the Republic and smil
ingly resisted the blandishments of W.
O. Smith when the ex-Attorr.ey-Gen-oral
suggested that the present was a
good time to declare fealty and possi
bly serve the nation for a few weeeks
at ?2 a day.
William Savidg wa? "on the list."
but was not rounded up, as the search
of the police did not extend to health
seekers at Waialua. James Gordon
Spencer was excused leeause be is a
member of the Board of Immigration.
Frank Barwick had formed an opinion
on the merits of the case and was fixed
in his belief. S. Kubey was opposed
to capital punishment. -So was that
kind hearted young man, C. L. Clem
ent, who will take :i vacation from
talking people to death on advertising
in the street cars and serve as water
front reporter on this paper in place of
John Effinger, who is a juror. E. P.
Chapin could not qualify. George An
gus doss not believe in capital punish
ment. "Jack" Lucas, by the way, had
too strong a belief in capital punish
ment "in such cases."
It 'is expected that the gentlemen of
the jury will be at large in time to see
the races next month. All received
clothing from their homes last evening.
Frank Godfrey, who had been sum
moned for a trial at jury honors, dis
regarded the call, was brought in on a
bench warrant and was fined $23 by
Judge Perry. Mr. Godfrey was given
into the keeping of Deputy Marshal
Hitchcock pending payment of the $25.
and spent last night as the guest of
Governor Henry, of the reef.
Not in many years here has there
been so much difficulty in securing a
jury and so much interest in that sec
tion of a case. The matter was one
with which every intelligent man was
obviously more or less familiar, and in
the selection of jurors the defense prac
tically had its own way with its sixty
challenges and the somewhat peculiar
"causes."
Nearly every man who found his
name on the panel of the special ve
nires wished to avoid the service if
possible.

JOCKEY CLUB MEETS.
Juue Eleven Falls on Sunday
Program.
The members of the Jockey Club met
1. st evening at the Pacific Club and
e""etad the following officers:
. v;. G. Irwin President.
J. G. Spenc r Vice President.
G. P. Wilder Treasurer.
J. S. Walker Secretary.
The Executive Committee will be
composed of W. Wolters, W. H. 'Hoogs
and S. I. Shaw.
The races will be held on the day set
aside by the Government as Kameha
meha day. The 11th of June falls on
Sunday.
As there is a large number of entries
good sport could be provided for both
Saturday and Monday.
The question of number of heats in
the free-for-all will he decided by the
Executive Committee. It is probable
that it will be the best two out of
three, the same as last year.
The program is to be arranged by
the Executive Committee and will be
submitted to the club for approval.
Among those who were present at
last nisrht's meeting were:
J. S. Walker, G. P. Wilder, Dr. Mur
ray, Bruce Cartwright, L. L. McCand
less, E. Halfitead, W. Lanz, J. G.
Spencer. Theo. Hoffman, W. Wolters,
W. H. Hoogs, Prince Cupid and E. A.
Mclnerny.
A plan for a season of racing is pro
posed and has been received by the
horsemen and sportsmen with approv
al. This is to have races June 10 and
12, on the Saturdays between the 12th
of June and the Fourth of July and
then a final big day on the Fourth.
There were two days of racing last sea
son and it paid well. It will be re
membered that on the 11th last year
the free-for-all was best two heats in
three and on July 4 best three in five,
giving the advocates of the two series
equal chance. It is believed that the
public here will patronize several days
of racing during the season. It is ask
ing a great deal of the owners of the
horses to fit them for a single event,
or at most for two trials.

THE BIG S. S. DAY
Five National Flap to lie in Sat
urday's Column.
GRAND PARADE OF CHILDREN
Various Nationalities to Arcear-Many Schools.
Review -Decorations -Rally
Sons.
Five national flags will be carried in
the procession on Saturday symbolizing
the possibility of inter-national union
on at least one great issue. Only the
banners of the Sunday schools will be
assembled in the large banner rack, to
be built on the corner of the Kawaia
hao church. There should be from 25
to 30 of these. .
Sunday schools are compound or
ganizations. Not only are there the
departments adult, intermediate ;and
primary but the Hawaiian Sunday
schools are made up of Apanas. Each
of these is likely to have its special
banner.
Old Kawaiahao is made up of Puai
kalani, Moilili, Manoa, Waikiki, Pauao
and others, besides the Kawaiahao
Seminary. There are bound to be a
goodly number representing this
church, over 300 perhaps, and when
they sing there will be no uncertain
sound.
Kaumakapili is as truly a composite.
Maemae (in which Mrs. Waterhouse is
the leading spirit) has prepared a
beautiful banner and will come in
force. Kapuukolo, Holokahana and
Pauoa swell the number to over 300 in
all probability.
The Portuguese have a beautiful and
significant emblem in addition to the
banners they will carry. From the
main school, Kakaako and Punahou,
they expect to muster over 200.
The matter of numbers is by no
means the essential element in the suc
cess of the day, but it is quite certain
that the Sunday school scholars will
be there in numbers and thus the in
fluence of a notable spectacle and in
spiring music will be more wide
spread. The element of refreshments can be
safely counted out, however deeply
rooted it has always been considered
to be in Honolulu functions. There
was, to be sure, some suggestion of re
freshments at the close of the exer
cises, but it met with almost universal
disapprobation.,. Through a mistaka
an announcement was made that the
Central Union people would be "re
freshed" at the home of Miss Hopper
after the exercises. We are authorized
to say that the "loaves and fishes
clause in the invitation was not at all
necessary, and that the C. U. people
will be 300 strong without a suggestion
of soda water.
The little Japanese church of the Ha
waiian Board management will appear
and from them there may ,be expected
some of the fascinating Japanese
music. The Methodist Japanese will
probablv unite with the main church.
Mr. P. H. Dodge and Mr. Wilmot
have been giving a great deal of time
to the details of decoration. The
whole line of march will supply ample
field for lessons to be worked into
suggestive texts, framed in bright col
ors. It is expected that work of adorning
.the three stands will be turned over
to committees of ladies from the var
ious organizations. They always know
where to get green materials and nev
er have to look far to supply taste in
producing effects.
About forty invitations have been
given to people expected to review on
that day. All, with the exception of
the Cabinet, are representatives of re
ligious bodies in the city. Theirs is
a most desirable position, as each
school sings to them, while the whole
line waits.
It is right in the center of the
square that the public is likely to con
eresrate in the greatest numbers, for
the review stand is to be here, in front
of the opera house, and the individual j

exercises begin. There is ample room
j here too, while it is to be regretted
j that but comparatively few besides the
pupils of the schools can get near to
the speakers stand in Kawaiahao
church yard. Hence the exercises at
Kawaiahao must be largely for the
Sunday schools alone, while the crowds
of spectators can be accommodated in
the square.
Promptly at 3:30 spectators may ex
pect to hear the Kamehameha Cadot
band, and the neat soldierly battalion
of the Students will form nn nnnm.
priate head to the line. The three
schools. Manual. Preparatory and
Girls School, make a total of 230 pu
pils. The Manual and Prenaratorv -will
be led in their singing iby their band.
The girls sing separately and later ii
the column. People would
ways just to hear them.
The Christian church has heen pre
paring a new song and there will be in
the neighborhood of 150 to sing It, no
doubt. This Is about the number of
the Methodist body. Besides their own
peculiar banner, they will both carry
the American flag.
The shields which are to surmount
the decorations of the telephone posts
along the way will represent the work
of many hands. Mr. Wilmot, after cut
ting and covering them, sent them by
twos and threes out into the hands of
different ones to decorate and supply
with appropriate mottoes and devices.
Chinese and Japanese characters will
look down from some heights, while
Portuguese, Hawaiian and English
words will catch the eye of those cap
able of drawing meaning from them.
Capt, Berger has kindly offered tho
services of the Government band,
which will cheer the homeward steps
of children and grown-ups after the
programme. Owing .to the nature of the
exercises and the continuous singing
before the program, there seemed no
place for band music till after the
breaking-up of the gathering.
The Palama Chapel will give a good
account of itself, notwithstanding some
distracting circumstances, in the shape
of an absent superintendent, sickness
and the moving of the Government,
school away from the neighborhood.
It is impossible to say how many will
be there on the day.
The Chinese contingent is .sure of a
splendid nucleus in the snap of the
boys from the boarding school in
charge of Mr. F. W. iDamon. Should
they appear in their' school uniform
they will present a fine military, ap
pearance. It is a matter of consider
able regret that the Chinese do not
care to sing their own peculiar music
where there is any chance of their be
ing the object of ridicule, or even of
appearing strange. At all events they
will sing, and their singing will he
hearty and an honor to the day. ,
Mr. H. E. Coleman will le the mar
shal of the day. 'He will be .ocis-tfj
by aides from each of the schools. Any
special requests concerning the time or
form of stopping in front of the review
stand, should be made to him..
Mr. W. vA. Bo wen will le the chair
man of the day and Mr. D. L. Naone
will lead the singing of the two gen
eral songs, and wrill !be assisted by four
cornets.
Information concerning any doubt
ful point in reference to the entire sub
ject of the rally .-may be obtained on
Friday afternoon at the Y. "M. C. A.
The meeting of the S. S. Union at 4:30
will be given over to the clearing np
of any doubts on the matter, and to
the issuing of new information. It is
evidently of great importance to the
various Sunday schools that the teach
ers come to this meeting.
This is the general rally song com
posed for the occasion by P. H. Dodge.
The music is Hawaii Ponoi:
Hawaii's land is fair.
Rich are the gifts we share.
This is our earnest prayer
O Lord of Light,
That. as a noble band
We may join heart and hand
Till all Hawaii's land
Stands for the right.
Though all our days be bright
What is our earthly might?
There is no other light
Like that above.
Iord of the isles and sea.
Grant us the victory
That every heart may be
"Strong in Thy love.
Joyously let us sing,
Loud may the echoes ring.
Homeland and everything
For Christ we claim.
In God is our success,
Lord all thy people bless.
Clothe us with righteousness
Worthy Thy name.
