|SDD ON BURNING DECK MISSIONARY RESOLUTION AFTER THE CROWN LANDS S# GuaAN Strikers
OR. RATHER WARNED PEOPLE OF
THE LIVE WIRE.
Nuuanu Valley Grateful to Green and
Andrews-Braved the Storm to
Save Life.

The following card, received at this
office today, explains itself:
The people living in Nuuanu Val
ley wish publicly to thank ii. w.
Green and Carl Andrews for averting
what might have been serious ca
tastrophy last evening. \ wire of the
Hawaiian Electric Company broke
and fell directly across the road in
front of the residence of Henry Wa
terhouse, producing circumstance
similar to that on King street about
three weeks ago. The gentlemen nam
ed stopped in the hard rain and warn
ed pedestrians and drivers of carria-
ges of the danger until the electrici-
ans arrived from the works and re-
moved the wire
Investigation shows that the case
referred to had it's parallel in some
respects in the King street affair. A
big rain was in progress. Just be-
fore o'clock the wire was forced
down by the storm. Green and An
drews had run under a neighboring
tree for temporary shelter. The wire
stretched across the right side of the
road. Numbers of vehicles returning
from the city had to pass that way.
The danger was great.
The two men took up positions in
the binding storm on either side of
the live wire and stopped everybody
Now and again vehicle rushing for
ward to get out of the rain, would be
pulled up just in time. The lives of
many people were undoubtedly saw
ed by the two men. Residents of the
valley witnessed the events from their
verandas. Both of the men were
wringing wet during the whole per-
formance. Andrews, especially, who
was clad in a light SUIT, was a sight.
The electric people responded very
promptly to telephone call and soon
had linemen on the scene.

MALCONTENTS ARE
MERE BOYS.
Their Contracts are Ruled Noid-Ac-
cept Offer of Manager Ahrens-Men
Still Dissatisfied.

Among the number of Galician
strikers from Oahu plantation it has
been discovered that % are boys, not
one of whom is over 20 years of age.
Judge Wilcox, upon receiving evil
dence to this effect, declared that
their contracts were null and void.
All of the boys were assembled in
the station house yard this morning,
and asked what they intended TO do.
They said that they wanted to work,
but did not want to return to Oahu
plantation. They would look around
among the other plantations until
they found something that suited
them. Attorney General Smith was
present. and. through an interpreter,
explained the vagrancy law and re-
minded the lads that they could not
hang around town for very long pc
riod without encountering more seri-
Gus trouble.
Manager Ahrens of Oahu plantation
came in and made the young fellows n
proposition. 1t was to give them SIS
a month to work for him. The lunas,
he said, would treat them right. At
torney Kaulukou, who has represent
ed the Galicians before the court, adj
vised the boys to accept the PROPOSE
ton, and they did so. They will go
to work tomorrow
All the older men who were found
guilty in court of deserving contract
service and ordered to return to work,
have refused to do so, and say they
will accept the punishment prescrib-
ed by law. 1t remains now for the
plantation to say whether the cases
will be pressed against the men or not.
If they are to be punished they will
he sentenced to imprisonment and put
to work upon the roads.
More of the cases are before Judge
Wilcox in the district court this af-
ternoon. Each man is being heard
separately. In every case the court
has found that the kicks are of the
most puerile character and not suffici-
ent to sustain judicial interposition.
There is trace all through the tales
related of outside influence. malicious
ly brought to bear upon the otherwise
faithful and industrious Galicians.
1t is mystery how the boys came
to be signed in Austria. The pre-
sumption is that they falsely stated
their ages to the agents who signed
the laborers.

LONDON, November 5.-Apart from
politics the attention of London this
week has been mainly directed to the
ceremonies in honor of General Kitch-
ener yesterday and to the resumption
of the exposures of Hooley, the bank
rupt company promoter.
The general was the guest of Queen
Victoria at Balmoral during the ear
ly part of the week and he presented
her majesty with many interesting
relics of the battle of Omdurman. On
Thursday the general went through
the quaint ceremony of being admit
ted to the freedom of the "Fishmong-
ers" company, and it was as a citizen
and fish monger that he received the
freedom of the city of London on Fri
day.
The sword of honor presented to
General Kitchener is a magnificent
specimen of the jewelers. art. The
hilt is of solid gold, surmounted by a
figure of the British lion, and it also
bears the figures of Britannia and Jus
tice and the monogram of the genera
indiamonds and rubies and sapphires
and the British and Egyptian flags en-
ameled in their proper colors. The
scabbard is finely ornamented and in
scribed with the names of the Sirdar's

IOWANS PLAY FOOTBALL.
The Clever Place-Kick Trick Twice
Successfully Utilized.

The feature of yesterdays game was
the place-kick goals made by the Iowa
men. The play was first introduced
by the Pennsylvania University team
and successfully played by the Car
Isle Indians. The Iowa boys rushed
the pigskin within soma yards of Pu-
nahou's goal and failed to gain the re-
quired five yards in two attempts to
advance the ball. Suddenly the quar-
ter fell back about ten yards, and the
center snapped the ball true as a die
into his hands. r. DAILY, the quarter
back, held the ball for a place kick,
and Palmer caught it on the tip of his
shoe and away the pigslIin flew right
between the goal posts, creating the
widest enthusiasm, and scoring the
first five points of the game. In the
second half this clever work was re-
peated.
The game ended with the score of
21 to 0 in favor of Iowa.
The grand stand was filled with
people. About 1000 soldiers were out.
The visiting team had numerous
friends on the line. These were the
teams:

DROPPED DEAD.
Old Kekahuna Falls on a Wharf and
Expires Instantly.

\ native named Kekahuna, aged
about 60, dropped dead near Brewers
wharf this morning. Heart disease
was the trouble. Deceased lived with
friend in Palama and had been in a
measure an invalid for years.
The sudden death caused disturb
ance on the water front. 1t was at
first thought that bale of hay from
the vessel at the wharf had struck the
man. This, however, was not the
case. The old fellow started to help
drayman load some hay on his rig.
He fell forward over the freight and
expired instantly. There was a cut
over the right temple, sustained in
the fall.
The body was taken to the station
house. There will not be a coroner's
inquest.

GASOLINE EXPLOSION.
Joseph Santos Severely Burned on the
Arms and Face.

An explosion of gasoline vapor in
Bailey's bicycle shop this morning
sent Joseph Santos, an employe, to the
hospital with severe and painful
burns about the hands, arms and face.
Gasoline flame is used in some of
the processes of bicycle repairing. The
burner is enclosed in a sheet metal
cabinet, the reservoir containing the
gasoline being above it. In using it,
it is the rule to light the gas at the
burner Immediately after turning the
gasoline OF, before the generating va
por has time to escape into the cabi-
net. Santos, who had frequently used
the apparatus before, was about to
use it again about 10 o'clock this fore
noon. He turned the gasoline on, but
just as he was about to light it his at
tention was called away by something
else for few minutes. When he re-
turned, instead of turning off the gas
oline and throwing open the cabinet
to let the accumulated vapor escape,
and then commence anew, he touched
a match to the burner. Immediately
the vapor with which the cabinet was
filed leaped into flame like an eX-
plosion. The flame burst through the
seams of the cabinet and caught San
tos. His hands, arms and face were
scorched and burned.
j. S. Bailey, the proprietor, at once
had him taken to DR.. Burgess Office,
near by, where his injuries were dress
ed, and then sent him to the Queens
hospital, where he will remain for
treatment.
The burns are all superficial, and
though painful are not thought to be
dangerous.
Santos issabout is years old and is
highly thought of by all who know
him. His employer gives him the best
of character for steadiness and care.

TYPEWRITERS!!

In no line of mechanics is excellence
of construction of such vital import
ance as in Typewriters.
The PEERLESS is especially noted
for its durability, simplicity and it's
speed.
Considering first cost only the
PEERLESS is not one of the So
called "cheap machines" but looking
at it from a business point of view,
comparing quantity and quail
ity of work, loss of time from break
downs on steamer days, when the
Typewriter is most needed, and cost
of repairs, as well as the life of the
Typewriter, the PEERLESS is with
out an equal and is the cheapest ma
