TRAGEDY IN hANOA VALLEY
MANUEL ROSA SAID TO HAVE
ALLIED HIS WIFE.
Report Reaches Police This Afternoon
Posse Sent to Investigate-Bu
Few Details at Hand.

Shortly after . o'clock this after
noon a report reached the police sta
ton that Manuel Rosa, brother of
Antoine Rosa, the attorney. had killed
his wife and fed. .uarshal Brown at
once ordered the captain of the
Mounted Patrol and couple patrol
men to the scene, to make a full in
vestigation of the reporo. The men
valley on the Waikekua roau at about
half past two.
There have been no details brought
to police headquarters as yet, except
that Rosa had hacked his wife to pieces
and that her head had been almost
severed from the pody. Jealousy was
assigned to be the cause for the deed.
Rosa is said to have committed the
murder in Ais own home.
just what reliance to place in the
report is uncertain. Marshal Brown
says thai he has no direct information
concerning the reported tragedy, he
having oeen notified by parties who
stated that they had been told of the
crime by man coming from the val
ley. The Marshal says he will keep
up an investigation until he finds
either Rosa or his wife.
Manuel Rosa is dairyman, and is
a son of Antoine Rosa, Sr.. farmer
in Kalihi valley. None of his relatives
in the city were accessible before
press time and therefor it could not
be learned whether there have been
any serious rows between his wife and
| himself.

' LIKELIKE A TOTAL WRECK

the decks and the steamer had 20 be
deserted
When morning came it was discoY-
cred that the Likelike lay on the
rocks, with her stern not more than
100 feet from the shore. She must
have struck further out, but drifted
in. How she crossed the outer reef
without striking is hard 20 imagine,
except that she was light and the sea
smooth. The Kilauea Hou arrived
later in the day, but could get no clos
er to the wreck than the Helene.
During Saturday the Likelike broke
squarely in two. and became a total
wreck, with her cargo of 100 bags of
sugar. Fully satisfied that nothing
could be done to save the vessel,
Capt. Sachs and his men took passage
on the Iwalani, which came along on
Sunday evening and arrived here this
morning.
Capt. Sachs and Mate Swinton could
not be found this morning, so that
statements could not be secured from
them. In the verbal statement to an
officer of the Wilder Company the cap

in to recover before he discovered his
mistake. 1t was merely an error in
Judgment. There are no lights on the
island to go by, except at Honoipu.
and that is a considerable distance
further south han the place at which
| the steamer wen, ashore.
1t is probable that the circumstances
leading up to the wreck will be in
vestigated by the underwriters as soon
as the full particulars are obtainable
from Hawaii. President Wight, of the
Wilder Company, is on Hawaii at the
present time, and is undoubtedly on
the scene of the wreck now. Nothing
will be done in the way of an investi-
! CATION before he returns.
The Likelike was the oldest steamer
under the Hawaiian flag, and although
| she iuu seen tNShtS scoiS VI "N'i'N \
service, was still accounted sound
and good craft. She was built by
Dickey Bros, at San Francisco. foI
this Government in 1877, but on the
| day of her ARRIVAL here, in August o.
that year, became the property of the
Wilder Steamship Company. She was
the second steamer owned in the
islands, the first-the Old Kilauea-
having been last years ago.
The Likelike was built at cost OF
close to 100000, and was insured fol
$4,000. Had she been wrecked two
months ago, when the sugar season
was in its height, enormous loss to the
Wilder Company would have resulted;
but. fortunately, the sugar season is
about over, and the other boats car
do the work.

Lodge, of Massachusetts. will introduce a
bill for the purchase from Denmark OF
that country's islands in the West Indies

This will be the revival of an old pro-
position dating back thirty years Then
matters went so far that the price for
the islands GS,OOO,OO0 was agreed upon,
and all the preliminary arrangements
were pretty much settled. At the
last moment, however, the scheme failed
to carry.
What Senator Lodge wants With the
islands is not exactly clear. About their
only attraction is the harbor of st.

l42 square miles, with a population of
some 5000, which is decidedly off color

that rum making is somewhat OF an In

this might be supposed TO appeal 10 the
sympathy of New England statesman.
but looking at the matter from a practical
standpoint wouldn't the purchase of the
Islands interfere with the same industry

THE PENSION SYSTEM.

Here is one Of the many illustrations OF
the beautiful operation Of the pension
system:
ION August 81, 1894, thirty-one years
after the soldiers death. widow of a
soldier who has never left Norway, APP
piled for a pension. Under the present
laws she has title, and the claim must be
allowed, granting arrears OF pension from
the date OF the soldiers death, making
the first payment amount TO between
$1,000 end $500. In all claims filed sub
sequent TO July 1. 1880, and prior TO June
Z. 1855. pension, II allowed, would begin
from date of filing the application. On
the latter date. however, an act was
passed which provides that all pensions
granted TO widows hereafter shall COM
Inence from the date Of the soldier
death"
In commenting on this the Boston
Herald says this woman was doubtless
+ induced by some pension agent TO make
her application.
Precisely. Not the least feature of the
pension system calling for reform is that
which enables the pension agents and
sharks to compound the pension out
RACES. AS bearing upon the part the
sharks play in the pension iniquity, the
New York Herald's Washington cor
respondent quotes pension officials at
Washington as asserting that a publica-
lion OF the pension rolls would reveal
thousands OF cases where pensions are
being drawn by dishonest attorneys in
the names OF old soldiers. who have no
idea they are on the rolls at all. Such
a publication would also, II is stated on
the same authority, disclose the fact that
thousands OF soldiers whose names are
sun carried on the rolls died long ago.

The Penitentinry.
Qynchburg News.)

There is no subject which more urgently
demands the attention of the Legis-
lature than the condition of the penten-
tiary. The crowded state Of the cells is
shocking to humanity and a disgrace to
the Common" eolth. The health and
morals of the convicts are alike imperilled
by the existing state of things II seems
TO be impossible under existing contracts
10 relieve the State prison by hiring out
the convicts 10 work on public roads.
Then, the only alternative is to build ad-
ditional cells that the convicts may be
decently housed. The penitentiary is
money-making institution, turning annu-
ally into the State Treasury about $1,000
It is only common justice that the con-
Victs. whose labor produces this money.
should be humanely cared for and de-
Gently housed while held in captivity. 1t
may be asked. where is the money to
come from to pay for the additional
buildings, say $4,000? That is a prob
lem for the lawmakers to solve. II
would be better to issue bonds for that
amount and begin without delay the con-
struction of the buildings, than to wait
for the Treasury to be overlooking before
commencing the needed work. II we are
to wait for a plethoric Treasury, Heaven
only knows how long we shall have to
wait Meanwhile, the convicts are suf-
fering, and the good name of the Com
monwealth Is at stake.

A STATE HALTED.

Tennessee Is just now experiencing
taste Of government by injunction.
At the last session Of It's Legislature an
act was passed creating board OF rail-
road commissioners. Among other duties
| this board was required TO assess rail-
road property for taxation. In pursuance
/ of that duty, IL spent six months In as
| certaining the fair cash value OF the pro
| perty in question, and the result was
that II raised the assessments from about
So. 100000 to about S72cO0,coo
From this decision Of the Railroad
| Commissioners the companies appealed
| TO the State Board OF Examiners, which
| is composed of the Governor and several
| other state officers. The examiners cor
rected some of the assessments, reducing
| the aggregate more than a million dol
lars. But the companies, being still much
dissatisfied. have now gone into the
courts-those chartered by Tennessee into
State courts, tifo5e chartered by other
States into the Federal Court. And
Judge Black. Of the latter court has
granted a perpetual injunction against
the Board of Examiners, certifying the
assessments TO the Comptroller. whose
duty il is to enforce the collection OF
these taxes. Judge Clark, however, made
IL a condition precedent to the granting
OF the Injunction that the companies
should tender to the State the taxes pre-
scribed under last years assessment
Thus these particular wheels Of Ten
nessees governmental machinery have
been locked. The Governor, however
being about to call the Legislature into
extra session for other purposes. will
include this question In the list of sub
jects proposed to be acted upon.
But IL does not seem as If the Legis-
lature will be able to make any Roadway
against Judge Clark. Unless his Honor
relents. which is hardly likely. the in
junction must stand until reversed upon
an appeal. Meanwhile, however, there Is
great popular feeling in Tennessee against
the railroads and against government by
injunction. too.
As we understand the case from the
newspaper statements that we have seen,
the railroad companies assert that they
have been unjustly Disseminated against
Their claim is that, as a rule. other pro-
perry than theirs in Tennessee has been
assessed at about 60 or 70 per cent. OF
its real value, while theirs is assessed at
its full value, and in some instances at
more than its full value.
we shall doubtless hear a great deal
of this controversy from time to time
in the near future 1t is the uppermost
topic of discussion in Tennessee just
now. Popular feeling there runs high,
and a good many unwise things are be-
ing said.
For our part, we think ii would be an
excellent thing if the companies and the
State could compose their differences out
of court. The roads owe duty to the
State, and the State would be mighty
bad off without the railroads. They
ought to try TO get together.
Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1897-12-30

The Legislature could save to the State
over $4,000 annually by abolishing the
office of Commissioner of Agriculture and
the Board of Agriculture. The office of
Commissioner of Agriculture is not only
wholly and entirely useless, but from it
enanates at every session of the Legis-
lature legislation positively hostile to the
interests of the farmer Nearly every
scheme for the taxation of fertilizers has
it's origin in this office. and the meat of
each and all the schemes is the increase
of emoluments TO the incumbent of the
Office.
The United States Government has a
fully equipped Department of Agriculture,
with large appropriations to sustain 1t.
And I'm this State, at Blacksburg, an eX
pertinent station is sustained by Federal
appropriations. If any good emanated
from the state Board 1t would be useless
extravaganza, as the same results could
be readily obtained from Federal sources
The $4,000 dollars yearly expended by
the State is simply money thrown away,
and five-sixths of the members of the
Legislature know it. But 1t serves GER
tain political buncombe purpose in the
minds Of certain legislators to maintain
an Office with the term agriculture at
tached to it. They imagine they can
tlCKle the ears OF lnelT HdYSctu COnSll-
tuents by showing their devotion to the
agricultural Department" Farmers are
not asses. The money to sustain the
ofice-holders of the Agricultural Bureau
comes out of their pockets Much is paid
by a tax on fertilizers, which Is tax
only those engaged in agriculture are re-
CURED TO pay. Farmers care little for
the name of things. and the useless ex-
penditure of their money TO sustain Office
holders in the Agricultural Department
is as distasteful to them as If the office
holders were in any other department.
The Winchester Times.
Several articles such as this have ap-
peared in our State exchanges OF late.
We think they are based upon misap-
orehension of the facts in the case. We
should be glad to hear what Colonel
Buford, the president of the State Board
of Agriculture. has to say upon the sub
ject He can hardly be suspected of
having a selfish interest in the matter,
since he gives his valuable services to the
State without fee or reward.
