UNG KEE A STRONG WITNESS IN
THE HAKALAU CASE.
The Murdered Chinaman's Cousin
Tcstifes-The Doctors EXamintion
Goo Kim Attends Court.

The interest of every plantation
manager in the islands is centered in
the manslaughter cases of William
Hickey and Andrew Chalmers. now
on trial in Judge Carter's court.
Hickey and Chalmers were employ
ed as lunas on the Hakalau planta-
ton on Hawaii. They are charged
with killing a Chinese laborer named
Lee Mau Chit. The Attorney Gen
eral, General A. S. Hartwell, Thurston
& Stanley and Colonel G. F. Little
are prosecuting. Paul Neumann and
w. S. Wise are counsel for the lunas.
have thus far been examined. ING
Kee testified that previous to the day
of his death Lee Man Chit was in
healthy condition. He had been on
the plantation three weeks and was
in the gang under Luna Hickey. He
saw Hickey assault Chit with cane
knife, seize him by the throat, knock
him down, kick him, pull him up
again.
The Chinaman, he says, lay there
motionless, until Luna Chalmers rode
up on horseback. Chalmers kicked
him and used his whip on him. Chit
lay in the field until 4;30 o'clock in
the afternoon, when his countrymen
carried him off to Honohina camp.
That night, according to Lee Sing
Wong, a cousin of the deceased, Chit
was carried to Manager Ross office at
Hakalau. Ross promised to send the
doctor next morning. On the way
back to the camp the man died
Chow Wee Chong was another wit
ness. He practically corroborated
what was said by Ung Kee and ee
Sing Wong.
DR.. S. Yamamoto told the court of
the bruises and wounds found on
Chit's body. There was cut on the
right cheek, external marks on the
throat, bruises on the thigh and con-
cussion of the brain.
The hearing of the case will be
continued this afternoon.
Chinese Commercial Agent Goo
Kim is a constant attendant in court.

MYRTLE OARSMEN ARE IN FOR
HARD WORK.
Healani and Leiani Boys VIII Train
at Home-The New Shell and Barge
Received Yesterday.

The senior and junior crews of the
Myrtles are now taking their regular
course of training for the champion
ship and Regatta Day events.
The members of both crews are now
quartercd at the boat house, where
they eat carefully selected and pre-
pared food, retire at half-past seven
o'clock in the evening, up at sunrise,
and all that sort of thing. The boys
have an expert cook and are really
enjoying life.
Arthur Wilder has the crews in
charge. A. f. Judd. Jr., who has the
Yale stroke down pat, went out with
the senior crew on two or three occa-
sions.
The members of the Healani crews
are training at their homes. Captain
George II. Carter has not yet selected
his men. He has good material to
select from, and judging form what
experts along the wharf say, it would
appear that the Healani boys are
showing up in better form than either
the Myrtles or eilanis.
The Leilani oarsmen can be seen
rowing about the harbor early in the
morning and late in the afternoon.
The senior and junior crews will be
selected from the following: Prince
Cupid, Sam Woods, Chris Willis, S. E.
p. Taylor, j. L. Holt, John Jones, Joe
Conradt and j. Lane.
The Lealani boats are housed in the
Kings boat house. The men are
training at home.
The four-oared shell built by ALI
Rodgers of San Francisco for the
Myrtles was placed in the water this
morning. The shell is fine specimen
of handcraft and is considered very
fast.
The Healani Club received it's six
cared barge on the Australia yester-
day. 1t is being put in shape to be
used this afternoon.

pionship events to come off under the

the clubs for three years. racing. The

it not being case of superiority of
boats, but of men.
A week later will occur the Regatta
Day events. 1t is not likely that the
Leilanis will participate i'm the six
cared sliding seat barge race, for they
have no barge. The Healani Club pre-
sented this club with barge the other
day which will do for practice. Should
the Leilani's borrow a barge from
either of the other clubs, they will be
at a disadvantage because the Hea-
lani and Myrtle crews will race in
their new. up-to-date barges

do you think you can secure orders
for shipment of one hundred?"
II am sure of it," replied the Col
onel. "As | have already stated or
ders for half that number have come
to me unsolicited. My endeavor will
be to land the servants in Honolulu
early in December"
No further action will be taken in
the matter of securing negroes for
plantation labor until the return of

of such a move will be received.

PROFITS BY THE CHANGE.

London, Aug. THE Athens cor
respondent of the Daily Telegraph as.
serts that the frontier line upon
which the powers have agreed gives
the Turks possession of the heights
on the right of the River Salambia,
west of Gunitza, and also the defiles
of Kalamakas and Xeria, thus render,
ing the defense of Larissa and the Sal
ambia valley forever impossible to the
Greeks. The correspondent says that
this line places Greece completely at
the mercy of Turkey.
