 Big Shortage.
HOW THE TREASURER HELPED
A BILL OF $45,ooo FOR COURT
 REPORTERS FEES.

The city will be just about s3oS, 900 be- hind when the balance Is made up for the fiscal year. Of this s140,000 is charge able to the School Department, $42 900 to the County Clerks office, s30. 900 to court reporters fees and 5000 to the desire of MT. Widber to live better than his salary allowed.
 These figures are set forth in the report of Cyril Williams, expert for the Finance Committee of the Supervisors, which was submitted to the committee when 1t met yesterday. In the letter of explanation accompanying his report MT. Williams writes as follows:
 AS instructed. l have made estimate of the probable deficiency in the funds at the close of the fiscal year, and hand you here with an account showing the estimated ex- penditure income to be S91, S50 Of which S42, 900 is chargeable to the County Clerk criminal cases.
 Adding to this amount s7sOOO. the late Treas urers deficiency in the general fund and the total of expenses unprovided for will be in round numbers $16S. .000
 In addition to this the School Department shows a shortage of s14O.OOO. to which the Board of Education will doubtless call aften- tion. - , this year, and the probable deficits in the various funds are estimated by adding the estimates for expenditures for May and June. Many of the funds show over drafts of considerable size already, to which must be added various amounts in this month and will have to run on credit for the remainder of the year. In other funds there will be surpluses, but the deficit will reach the figure named in spite of these small measures Of assist ance.
 No attempt Is made to demonstrate the cause of the shortage in the School De partment besides the terse but pointed Suggestion ito which the Board of Edu- cation will no doubt call your attention"
 The shortages estimated in the various funds are as follows.

Incomplete Account of a
Violent Death on Kauai.
End Of a Manilaman-FInd of a Field
Luna-Knife Had Been Used.
Suspicion.

The AIikahaIa, which arrived from
Kauai Sunday, brought a report which
may mean another tragedy at and muir
der trial from Koloa. It is stated that
just before the steamer sailed from
Koloa last Saturday morning a man
was brought in from the cane fields
about a mile from the mill with his
throat cut from ear to ear. He had
been discovered by a luna, who was
driving a bullock cart to the field, and
was unconscious and in his last throes
when found The wound was evidently
inflicted but a short time before. \
piece of flesh from the throat was
lying alongside the body, showing a
small section OF the windpipe.
Deputy Sheriff Waialeale and DR..
Waughup Of HOlOa were hastily sum
money. Sheriff COney was also sent
for from Lihue. The man died in a
short time
The dead man was a native Of Ma
Mia and q labOrer on Kekaha planta-
ton. His name could not be learned.
Suspicion Of murder tends generally in
a certain direction at KOlOa, although
when the MikahaIa sailed there was
nothing tangible to work upon.
Nothing official concerning the mat
ter has yet been received by the Mar
shall.
