The bartender, whose name is Bill, lis.
tened to her for some time. Finally, he
leaned over the bar and said:
Excuse me, young lady, but you're
dead wrong on this proposition. If the

DIFFICULT QUESTIONS.
1t Seemed an Easy One, But the Query
Editor Blundered Over 1t.

"The question, sir" said the chairman
of the delegation, sis an important one,
but more difficult to answer than you
would think when You first hear it; also
there is a double reason why you should
be very careful in answering it,
"Fire away" said the query editor,
shortly.
"Well, you see, it's this way" explain
ed the spokesman. "Over in our ward
there were two men named John JONES'
and they were father and son. Is that
clear?''
"Perfectly. Go ahead,
"Well, last night they were both burn
ed to death in the same house, and to. day
when we were making upa list of those
who lost their lives, the boys insisted on
putting down, Jones Jones, ST.. and
John Jones, Jr.
'Qute right" asserted the query
editor.
CHATS what we came to ask you
about returned the spokesman. ''Of
course we all knew who was meant but
technically
''Tcchnically, it was exactly right
interrupted the query editor.
'Surr:'
'Sure! OF course, Pm sure. How else
would you refer TO them:'
sob, if you're so dead sure about it
we're not going to dispute you, but you
ough to take all the technicalities into
consideration.

'If you can advance any reason why they
should he referred to in any other way
fire ahead; if you can't get cut and let
me 90 on with my work.
"Well," said the spokesman slowly and
deliberately, ''l'd figure it out a little
differently. You see the old man lived
down stairs and the boy lived on the floor
above, and the fire started in the base
ment. Consequently, it stands to reason
that the old man died first
"What of it:'' demanded the query
editor.
"Why, when the old man died the
young man ceased to be Junior didn't
he?''
"Um-lh-n
"And if he did he was not John Jones,
Jr., when he died. Consequently, no

Pulled Off the Reef by the
EIeu Sunday Afternoon.
GOOD PURCHASE FOR OWNERS.
Working Against Difficulties - Satisfactory
Results Of the Efforts of Captains Ward
and Calway-WiH be DOcked TOday-But
Little Damage to Hull-To be Repaired.

The bark Gainsborough from New
castle, N. S. w, which went on the
reef opposite the lookout station at
Diamond Head on the morning of Au-
gust 20, was safely taken off at 2 p. m.
yesterday and towed to a point near
the railway wharf where she now lies.
After the wreck was bought by Al
len & Robinson Captain Thompson of
the bark S. G. Allen was given an in
terest in her to take her from her posi-
ton. He sent schooners to the vicinity
and removed lot Of her cargo of cCal
leave with his vessel for the coast and
he transferred his interest to Captain
Galway, late of the Waimanalo. Cap
tain Galway continued in the same
plan and when about $50 tons of the
cargo had been taken out of her the
Amelia, Captain Ward, arrived in port.
AS the captain has had experience in
this line of work Mr.. Allen sent him
out to the wreck with the request that
he examine her position and give his
opinion of her condition.
On his return Captain Ward reported
that the work was all right, but that
it could be accomplished quicker by
the use of an engine and pump. This
suggestion was carried out by securing
the necessary articles from the Oahu
Railway Co. With much difficulty
they were put on board, but the fire
box in the engine was so small and
the defects in the pump so numerous
that it was four days before the pump
could do much. When it was in order
a siX-inch stream of water was forced
out of the pipes and in few hours the
twenty-one feet of water in the hold
had lowered a foot. AS the vessel had
listed to starboard and the water was
coming over Captain Ward ordered
the matches battened down so as to
keep out all the water possible.
When sufficient water was taken out
the vessel swung round on an even
keel and the men were set at work
throwing coal overheard so as to make
her as light as possible. Seventy tons
only were lost in this way, but the
loss was a profit in other ways, as it
enabled the owners to get the vessel
Off in much quicker time. Yesterday
morning the between decks was free
from water and all that was in the
vessel was in the lower hold. Cap
tt. N Ward went ashore and telephoned
the owners that he believed the vessel
could be pulled off at high tide, and at
1920 the tug went out, reaching there
an hour later. Lines were fastened
on the stern of the Gainsborough and
the tug started. The vessel moved
about a foot and then sank down and

The late jurist was on his way to at
tend term of court at kau and was
resting at Waimea preparatory to TAX
ing the long hot ride across the lava
beds. He has not been in good health
of late, but his ailment was nothing
more than is common with men OF his
advanced years. He complained of
feeling unwell on Thursday night and
told his daughter, who was travelling
with him, that he would retire early.
He grew worse in the night and the
next day at eleven he died.
The fact was communicated to his fa-
mily and Sheriff Hitchcock in Hilo and
arrangements were made to have the
Kinau stop for the remains and take
them to Hilo. Deputy Sheriff Yates
was instructed to go to Honolulu and
communicate the fact of the death to
the executive and the Chief Justice. A

eu-The above represents her

meeting of the executive was called at
! once and it was decided to request
Antoine Rosa to proceed to Hawaii by
the steamer w. G. Hall and sit as Judge.
1t is understood that Mr.. Rosa yielded
! reluctantly and will leave on Tuesday.
! The dead jurist was born in Buffalo.
!. New York, in April, 1925, and came TO
Hawaii when quite young man. On
his arrival in Hilo he entered a mer-
| camille house as clerk, at the same time
pursuing his studies in law, In 1852
he was admitted to practice In the
courts of Hawaii by the Supreme
Court. In May, 1887, he was
appointed judge of the Kohala
circuit, In 1891, under the new law.
which required one judge for the Third
and Fourth Circuit, Judge Austin was
again appointed. His brother, James
W. Austin, was resident OF the
islands in the early SOS and for year
was second associate justice of the
! Supreme Court, a position which he
resigned on account of I'll health. His
death abroad, was recorded year ago.
Another brother was Jonathan Austin
at one time a cabinet minister during
the monarchy. His sister is the wife
of Rev. o. H Gulick and resides in
Honolulu.
Judge Austin leaves wife and six
children. Mrs. Austin is visiting four
of her sons who reside in California.
One son, Herbert and a daughter, Hat
tie reside in Hilo and the funeral will
be under their charge as Mrs Austin
will not return for several weeks.
The death of Judge Austin marks
an epoch in the political history on
the big island, because in the appoint
ment of a successor the executive is
placed between two huge fires. Hilo has
it's candidates from each political fac
ton and Honolulu lawyers will press
the claims of others, but with the rec
ognition Hilo will claim for the big
island, it is reasonable to suppose the
plum will go there.
From the fact that Antoine Rosa
has received the temporary appoint
mentment unsought against Gardner
Wilder, a resident of Hilo who is a
possible candidate now visiting here,
it may be possible that the action OF the
executive in appointing Honolulu
lawyer may be endorsed by President
Dole and the position given to Mr. Rosa
permanently.
Both Senators Lyman and Holsteln
are out of the race according to the
new law which provides that Senator's
cannot be appointed to other positions
during the term for which they are
elected. D. H. Hitchcock would prob
ably not accept the place if it was OF
fered him, owing to his failing health.
Gilbert F. Little, the most prominent
and successful lawyer in Hilo, would
probably decline for the reason that
his practice pays him better than the
iudgeshfp The permanent appoint
ment will not be made until the presl-
dent returns to Honolulu, and perhaps
not until after the Hawaii term closes.
