GUARDIAN FOR THE BOY
RACHEL LEGALLY PLACED WITH
S. TURNER.
Javanese Lad Who Has Been in the
Circus Business-Levy Bankruptcy
Other Court Cases.

This morning Sidney Turner filed in
Chambers a petition to be appointed
guardian of the person of little Ka-
chiel, the Javanese boy contortonist,
tumbler and rider, brought to this
country by Wirths Circus. When
Wirth left Hawaii, Kachiel remained
with Wilfred Burns, who held some
sort of right of guardianship over him.
He worked in the Hawaiian circus un-
til that institution went out of busi-
ness. Then Mr. Burns placed the boy
in charge of Mr.. Turner, who has since
cared for him.
The petition came up before Judge
Perry this morning. As there was no
one present to object, Mr.. Turner was
appointed guardian of the boy under
$3.50 bonds.
Theo. II. Davies & Co. have filed their
appeal from the decision OF Judge

testate, Kanoii of Kaneohe has filed a
petition to determine the heirs at law
and to decree distribution. The wo-
man died in 1886, leaving a husband
and the petitioner, who is a brother,
sole heirs. In some sort of shuttle the
husband conveyed the property inter
est to one G. X. Kaioipahai. The pc
tition will be heard on October 9.
A decision on the demurrer in the
case of Queen Dowager Kapiolani VS.

agent and remained in such employ
until January 1896, when she was dis,
charged for alleged unfaithful con
duct. After this defendant filed an
action to recover commissions on the
sum of $41 ,4S4.73 claimed to have been
collected whereas the books showed
only $34, 1913. Then came suit by

SIX MONTHS FOR JACK
NOTORIOUS CHARACTER GETS A
HALF YEAR SENTENCE.
Jnlawfully on the Premises of AM
other-Judge Investigates-Appe
-Japs and Che Fa.

Jack Thompson was this morning
sentenced to six months imprisonment
at hard labor for being on the prem.
ises of j. L. Carter, Fort street, after
night without lawful license. The case
was brought under section of the
new vagrancy law.
Some one had visited the Carter
house several times after night At
the particular time Thompson is
charged with entering the premises
Mr.. and Mrs. Carter were both on
watch Thompson had been suspected
and he was the man they were looking
for Mrs. Carter recognized the prowl-
er from the parlor while her husband
saw him as he passed under the light
at the gate.
The court examined the premises by
electric light Tuesday night and de-
cided that the story of the witnesses
was correct. Mrs. Carter's testimony
had been question on account of the
fact that it is dark in the locality she
claims to have seen the maurader.
This is offset by the fact that Thomp-
son is a familiar character, is easily
recognized and the witness was ex-
pecting to see him. Carter's testimony
was considered by the court to be
straightforward and unimpeachable.
After leaving the premises the wit
nesses say that the midnight visitor
entered the gate to the Popular house
above the Chinese church. Thompson
lives in that yard.
On behalf of the defendant Attorney
Robertson noted an appeal to the Cir
cult court for a jury hearing.
Three specials made rad on a
Japanese gambling den on Smith
street at 10 o'clock this forenoon and
bagged six che ia players. All the men
had che ia tickets on their persons.
About two dozen of the fatal bits of
paper were found. Besides these a
complete outfit, consisting of cards,
counters, marking pads and money,
was captured. The Japs made no re-
sstance.

AN X RAY ENTHUSIAST.
SURGEON or THE S. 5. AUSTRALIA
AN INVESTIGATOR.
Will Lecture and Demonstrate in Ho-
nolulu-Talks of His Studies and the
Discovery of Professor Roentgen.

When DR.. Lauschner of the Austria
liza returns to Honolulu again he will
bring with him complete appliances
for the demonstration of the Roent-
gen ray before large audience. Ow-
ing to the many difficulties in the way
the attempt to entertain more than a
few people at time with the N-Ray
is seldom made. Only one experiment
has ever been made in San Francisco
and that was complete failure.
With the ordinary film screen used
in scientific experiments it is difficult
to demonstrate to a seated audience.
A person has to be just so near to see
clearly. Even then some see while
others can not. All light has to be eN-
cluded from the room in which the eX-
periments are made. The greater the
darkness the more perfect will be the
demonstration.
AS is well known the X-Ray is not
light. Scientists pronounce it a new
manifestation of force, the origin or
nature of which has not yet been dis
covered. The "X'' in the name stands
for unknown" as letters are used in
algebrac problems to signify un-
known quantities. The force has no
color. It's only principle is to discover
certain objects through other sub
substances
The discoverer of the N-Ray was as
much surprised with the products and
effects of the new force as scientists
have since. He did not start out to
find it. The discovery was made while
following up the possibilities of
cathode demonstrations. At first he
thought it a development from the ter
minal. but this was shown by contin-
uous experiments to be not the case.
DIR. Lauschner talked interestingly
on the subject this forenoon. He is
an enthusiastic disciple of Roentgen
and believes the X-Ray is the door into
the grandest field of science ever pen
etrated by the world. ''When return"
said he, 81 will deliver a two hours
lecture on the subject in large hall.
| will bring with me the best appar-
atus obtainable and will try the diff
cult experiment of demonstrating the
principle before large audience"
DIR. Lauschner has devoted much
time to the study Of the X-Ray, and
believes he can explain it in such n
manner that all may understand it as
far as it is at present known to sci
entists. The lecture will undoubtedly
he a great treat to Honolulu and will
meet with general patronage.

AMERICAN LEAGUE.
An Interesting Session Held by the
Active Annexation Organization.

The American League held a long
session Tuesday evening. Attendance
was good and there was healthy snap
to the meeting. Second Vice President
Crabbe and Treasurer Hawkins were
installed.
After considerable private business,
during which two applications were
received and Messrs. SEVERN, Larsen
and Timmons appointed a committee
of investigation, good of the order
was taken up. There was considerable
discussion, in a general way, on the
subject OF admitting all nationalitie
to the League. A,petition signed by
sixty-four staunch members had been
sent in against the amendment and
the proposal had been rejected at a
previous meeting.
1t seemed to be the concensus of
opinion that this disposition of the
matter was the proper thing at pres
ent. The League is in a flourishing
condition and most of the speakers
seemed to feel that it could be oper-
ated more successfully and satisfactor-
lily as a distinctive national organiza-
tion.
The subject of having an open meet
ing with prominent speakers in the
near future was broached. No action
with regard to the matter was taken.

ficuhy. The man was taken below.
His leg swelled rapidly and ice was
constantly applied to it. This morn
ing the surgeon of the ship examined
the member and found it badly broken
below the knee. The flesh was also
mangled and torn. The injured man

Changing THE STREAM
REMOVING DANGER AND RE
CLAIMING FLATS.
An Immense AMOUNT of Labor-Near
St. Louis College - Bridge-Drive-
ways Extension of Streets.

About the busiest open air locality
in town at present is the neighborhood
of the point at st. Louis where labor
ers are engaged changing the course of
improving its general appearance a
hundred per cent. The Strengthening
process has been carried forward from
King street bridge and will be extend
ed to Vineyard street. Stone walls,
high and thick, were built on each side
of the new channel some time ago as
far as the college point The dredger
first filled in the Eva side and it is
now ury and hard.
From the mauka terminus of these
walls ditch three feet wide and about
four feet deep was cut through the
college point, Il distance of $50 yards,
to the stream above and the water
turned in. Work of widening this
channel to eighty feet is now going on
At the same time the dredger is rapid
y
flow of mud is kept up night and day
and already reaches the bridge. Be
low that the new embankment grad
ually rises almost to the top of the
makai stone wall. Over this the new
road will pass.
All the houses along the course of
. la H.
and are temporarily reared on stills
in the old roadways to the college.
They will eventually be located along
the new Queen street extension. EVA
side. The new channel approaches
within about ten feet of the college
fence, town side, and follows it all the
way up to the mauka terminus. There
is just room enough between the
stream and the enclosure for drive
way. \ temporary bridge now spans
the stream at the college gate.
! When the stream is finished Bere-
tania street will be extended across it,
straight on to the knoll mauka of the
old Chinese theater and still on to
King street in Palama. This will take
off about half of the Eureka house at
the start. The street will then cross
the Queen street extension in the mid
die of the old stream. At the south
corner of the st. Louis college grounds
is where the fine new bridge will be
built. \ part of the approach to it is
already being leveled and packed.
1t is admitted that some damage
might result just at this moment in
event of an unusual freshet in the
stream. The old channel is closed
with an embankment of mud and q
stone wall. \ catch basin a hundred
yards deep is left above the obstruc
tion until the new channel is reached
The latter is only few feet wide anj
has all it can do to get rid of low
water. A freshet would doubtles,
cause an overflow on the point anC
also among the small houses on tn,
town side of the head of the new chan
mel This. however, will be remedieC
in few days.

these Have Followed Life On the Wavs
from Choice.
The sailors superstitious fear that a
1oman's presence on shipboard invites
lll-luck has failed to deter women
whose hearts yearn for the sea from
gratifying this desire. The pages of
the maritime history of the world
contain the names of many matrons
and girls in various periods who, dis
guised as men, have followed life On
the ocean wave. The majority of
them not only proved excellent sailors,
but even fought bravely with cutlass,
pike and pistol against the foes of their
native land.
They did not even shrink from sail

A German writer gives number CT

Jean de Belleville, to avenge her hus-
band, who was murdered in the year

ships and ravaged the coast of Nor
mandy, burned castles and illumined
the seat at night with the glare of blaz-
ing villages. Jean de Belleville was
famed in her age as one of the most
beautiful women in Europe.
Sometimes jealousy has sent young

Of bold Hannah Smell is now known by
sll sailors. This woman was born in

To seek this faithless fellow, Hannah
donned mems attire and went TO sa.
Her experiences during her quest

&c and comic incidents alternated. She

punishment for a serious crime, had
been put into a sack and thrown into
