HANALEFS POSTMASTER
SADLY IN ARREARS WITH HIS
REMITTANCEs.
Postmaster-General Oats visit to Kauai
Last Week and Its Results-The
Defalcation About $4,000.

1t was whispered around the streets
this morning that Postmaster j. NJ. Rad
way of Hanalei, Kauai, was defaulter
to considerable amount, and that a
warrant for his arrest had been issued
While the Postoffice officials are reticent
in the matter, claiming that it has
passed out of their hands and they have
no right to talk about it, STAR reporter
soon learned the main facts.
Postmaster Roadway is required to
make remittances to the Honolulu offic e
at stated times. OF late these have not
been forthcoming and Postmaster Gen
eral Dat notified the Minister of Finance
to that effect. He received orders to at
once go TO Hanalei and investigate the
affairs of the office, which will account
for Mr.. Oats sudden trip to Kauai last
week. The Postmaster-General reported
the result of his investigations immedi-
ately on his return, and the upshot of
the affair is that Railway was arrested
for embezzling the public funds. The
amount of his defalcation will reach
about $4,000, as far as can now be ascer-
tanned, but his books will have to be ex-
ported in order to determine the exact
amount or the period over which they
extended.
j. NJ. Roadway succeeded Charles
Koeling as manager of the Princeville
plantation estate and as agent of w. f.
Allen of this city, who now has full
charge of the affairs of the old corpora
ton, and was appointed postmaster to
succeed Mr.. Koelng by Postmaster
General Hill. AS agent of Mr.. Allen,
he has had charge of the collection of
rents from the old Princevile plantation
property, which is now leased out foI
rice and taro patches, and his collection
accounts seem to be somewhat mixed
up with those of the postoffice.
Mr.. Railway has always been looked
upon as honest and upright, and none
stood higher in the estimation of the
community. The news of his defalca-
tons will be read with regret by many
who know him.
Upon being taken before the District
Magistrate on the charge of embezzle
ment, Railway waived examination anC
was committed for trial at the Circuit
Court.

A NATIVE SURF RIDER
WHO CAN STAY FOUR MINUTES
UNDER WATER
And Catch Fish with Net and Spear
in the Menntime-He once Swan
the Molokai Channel.

Among the natives who will go to the
Midwinter Fair at San Francisco under
engagement to the Exhibition Com
pany is james Apu, now in this city
from Kauai, who is the champion surf
rider and diver of that island. Many
stories of the remarkable feats per
formed by this man in the water are re-
lated. 1t is said that he is so expert at
Giving that he can stay under water for
four minutes at time and at the mean
while catch fish with spear and net
which he uses while on his submarine
visit He has no fear of sharks and will
take to the water at any time and under
any circumstances. While on board
one of the island steamers a little while
ago off Diamond Head Apu got fish
hungry and Jumped overheard. caught
some and returned to the steamer in "a
few minutes. In 1884 while at Molokai
in a small schooner with three or four
other natives, after discussing sew.
eral bottles of gin, the others left Apu
on shore for joke and sailed for Maui.
Apu threw off his clothes, tied them in
"A bundle on his head, and swan after
the schooner, which he soon caught up
with. The others would not let him in.
so he struck out for himself and swan
the entire distance, reaching the Maui
shore some time before the others. The
distance is over eight miles and the cur
rent swift and dangerous.
Apu will give surf-riding exhibitions
at the Cliff House on his arrival at San
Francisco, and the board which he will
use is now to be seen at I. w. Hobrons
office. This one has been made to order
of redwood, which Apu says is prefer.
able to koa, being so much lighter. 1t
will be painted black, that color being
most obnoxious to sharks. This surf
board is twelve feet long and when per-
forming Apu stands erect on it and goes
through variety of wonderful feats i'll
balancing, etc.
Apu will give private exhibition of
his powers in surf. riding, diving and
fishing within three or four days for the
edfication of few mem bers of the
company.

SIGNS OF SCARLET FEVER.
Scarlet fever first shows itself with
headache, vomiting, sore throat, and
high fever Within twelve or twenty
four hours, fine bright scarlet rash APP
pears on the face and upper part of the
body, soon spreading over the whole
surface. After the third day it fades.
After the eighth day the skin begins to

large flakes from the hands and feet.
This scaling lasts from four to six weeks.
There is danger of spreading from the

The Review of Rev,e,vs

Mr.. Carl Snyder, of the Review of Re-
views, called on THE TINES yesterday.
He is travelling the South in the interest
of that magazine.
The announcement made recently,
that the Review of Reviews had reached
the 100000 mark in its circulation, says
the Washington Post, records remark
able achievement in the magazine world.
When the American edition OF the Re-
view began publication in 1891, the
field seemed filled to the last furrow
There were already four high-class
monthlies, with a circulation of over
100, 600, and there were countless others
that 60 toward making America the
greatest magazine producing country in
the world. The Review was not a story
paper, and, while it was popular, its mis-
sion WAS less to entertain than
to instruct-a magazine for people
who think. That it could within a
brief two years step forward to rank
with the three or four foremost month
lies of the country is not only most
ilattering to the excellence of the Re-
view, but gratifying indication OF the
general intelligence OF the reading
people. The endeavor to epitomise the
current history of the day, and photo
graph it's varied progress, to condense
the story of the month, as it were, into
an epigram, was obviously toward the
satisfaction Of ''long felt want" The
American issue varies widely frcm the
English, and is in reality q distinct
periodical. That it should have Won d
success equal to if not, condition con-
sidered, greater than the parent, shows
that the remodeling has been done with
excellent understanding of the tastes of
the American reading people.

NOTES FROM MARION.

MARION. Va, June 2s.-An important
decision was rendered here yesterday
by Circuit Judge Jno. A. Kelly in the
case Of N. L. Look ct al. vs. the town OF
Marion ct al. In April, 1899. the coun-
Gil Of the town ordered an election to be
held to take the sense OF the freeholders
with respect to an exchange OF town
bonds for railroad bonds to the amount
of $40, 900 and an additional sum suf'
fcient to pay the damages incident to
the right of way through the town.
Subse1 uently the company released the
town frou the $4,000 exchange OF
bonds, and accepted the inducement of
a clear way through the corporation. 1t
was submitted to the people, and carried
by large majority.
The company commenced the con.
struction of It's road right away. When
they were almost ready to enter the
limits of the town, about twenty three
citizens of the town, representing a
stubborn minority, filed their petition
before Judge Kelley asking for an in.
junction to restrain the town council
from issuing the bonds necessary to
open the promised way. The PROPOSE
tion involved not more than IS, 900. The
injunction was granted, and it is not yet
known whether it will rest at that as .
motion will be made to dissolve.
Col. A. S. Buford is in town to-day.
He is making fine impression upon his
countrymen of this section.
An interesting case come before JUS
tice A. P. Killinger the other day A
tenant in common of fish seine sued
his co tenant to recover possession of
the seine. 1t turning out on the proof
that both were equally entitled to the
seine, the justice deferred his decision
and is still trying to legally extricate
himself from his dilemma.
