Lord, were released Wednesday when Governor Judd committed to one hour their sentence imposed bv Judße Charles S Davis af er their conviction of killing Joe Xahahawai, a native, accused of attacking Massie's wife. One group of citizens criticised the Judge for not granting an outright pardon. Another group—natives—criticised the Governor for apparently making one law for the "favored few,” and another for the people in general.” Other groups in the islands And in the United States also moved for a pardon for the four, particularly for the three members of the navy whose positions may be endangered by the fact that the one hour’s sentence makes them guilty of felony.

Boos and Catcalls by Convicts Welcome Capone as Prisoner Warden Refuses to Give Out Details of His First Day in Atlanta Pen; ‘Seven Years of Silence* for Gangster Decreed. By I nilrd Prr ATLANTA. Ga . May s.—Alphonse Capone, dethroned Chicago gang lord, is spending his first day of seven years of silence, as far ns the outside world is concerned. Somewhere behind the grav walls of Atlanta federal penitentiary convict No. 40886 is going through the routine of medical examination, getting his prison outfit, and becoming accustomed to solitude. But a wall of secrecy as impenetrable as the stone inclosure surrounds him. "Seven years of silence lie ahead of the gangster." Warden Arthur’ Charier Aderhold said, explaining why he would not tell what Capone Is doing or saying.

umess uapone ases, prison omcials will give out no more information about him.” Aderhold said. That is an inviolable rule.” However, the rude reception Capone was given by his fellow convicts became known. * M M WHEREVER he was recognized today, it was a signal for boos and catcalls from convicts sent to prison for the very rackets that Capone made famous. The scar-faced former gang leader scowled and bowed his head under the taunts. He growled illtemperedly, but made no other respohse. Nowhere was there a kind word, or a cheer, from the men of the type he once ruled. He had walked out of the world that knew his name as a symbol of thievery, gang power and murder into seven years of ignoble obscurity. He had reached the end of a road paved by millions of dollars forced tribute from legitimate business. And in the end he whined, a beaten criminal. BUB AFTER Capone breakfasted today with several hundred other convicts, he was taken to the barber shop, where the hair left on his half-bald head was shaved off. Cotton denim clothes and heavy "brogan” shoes replaced the expensive suit, silk shirt, swanky silk pajamas and custom made shoes in which he arrived from Chicago. All the money he had with him. $220, was removed from his wallet and held by the warden.

CIRCUIT JUDGE RACE STILL IS TOSSUP AFFAIR Cox Holds Lead, but Deery Hopes for Triumph in Late Count. SEXTON MAKES GAINS County Treasurer Only 900 Votes Behind Clauer for Nomination. Two clore races in each party in Marion county today featured the finals of the primary. With the majority of precinct ballots totaled unofficially, and official votes being counted rapidly, it appeared that both Republican and Democratic leaders will have two keen races until the last official tabulation. James E. Deery, city attorney, still offered Earl R. Cox his money's worth in their race for the Democratic nomination as circuit judge. Cox was confident that he held the nomination, claiming victory by 2,000 votes, but Deery A>rces flatly refused to concede the point. The other Democratic race centered between Wflliam E. Clauer and Timothy P. Sexton, county treasurer, for nomination to the treasurer's post. Race Is Close Sexton, who was shoved,to the background by the Clauer vote, had moved up again today, until less than 900 votes separated the contestants. Clauer Jumped into the lead early on unofficial returns, but, at va- - times, Sexton managed to poll sufficient votes to slash the distance. The Republican race for coroner drew interest today when Dr. Robert R. Coble forged ahead of Dr. Charles H. Keever, after the latter had held the lead for more than twenty-four hours. Coble's vote, with majority of the unofficial tabulations recorded, showed a lead today of less than 300 over Keever, former holder of the post. Cones Tops Logsdon Frank Cones' fight for the Republican nomination as treasurer had carried him 1,335 votes in the lead of L. Lynn Logsdon, late in the race. Cones and Logsdon had staged a nip and tuck battle throughout early returns and Logsdon backers still clung to the hope of breaking down Cones' lead. Prosecutor Herbert E. Wilson, unopposed for the Democratic nomination, and Judson L. Stark, Republican, and former prosecutor, will face each other again this .all. In the 1930 election Wilson, carrying the Democratic vote, swamped Stark at the polls. Sheriff Charles (Buck) Sumner will hold the post for the Democrats in the election, opposed by Orel Chitwood, former policeman, who walked away with the Republican nomination. Easily Beats Hawkins Chitwood was the 2-to-l victor over Omer Hawkins, former sheriff and "Boss" Coffin satellite a few years ago. who claimed he had broken ranks with the organization. Question of the Democratic nominee for county commissioner. Second district, was not cleared today, as Walter E. Boetcher and Ernest Marker were but a few hunred votes apart. Dow Vorhies. Incumbent Democratic commissioner from the Third district, walked away with the renomination, nearly 10.000 ahead of his competitor. While the Democratic battle raged for circuit Judge nomination. Judge Hairy O. Chamberlin piled up thousands of votes over his opponent. Jack Tilson. Chamberlin, urged to seek renomination by Indianapolis Republican attorneys, was conceded victory early in the race. Brown for Surveyor Paul R. Brown, former county surveyor, had clinched the Republican surveyor nomination. He- was defeated for re-election to the post two years ago by Bruce Short, who also outdistanced his primary field for renomination on the Democratic ticket by more than 14,000 votes. The Republican organization put Charles W. Mann, county highway superintendent, into the Republican nomination as county commissioner from the Third district. Dr. William E. Arbuckle. incumbent coroner, who is completing the unexpired term of Fred W. Vehling, met little opposition for the Democratic nomination.
