Thursday the bill for increasing the

was passed in the Lower House, In the
face OF amendments proposed by Mr.

With regard to the making good Of
the deficit of about six million yen, the
Liberals and National Unionists are
proposing to raise the rate of the to-

taxes on urban land and the Bank OF
Japan. The matter has already been

Government by Messrs. Sassa and Ha-

Liberals. The Government, however

HIS PAIN
Harassing Illness Drove
Henry Wilcox Mad.
Took His Own Life at His Homo
on kauai-Neuraigla and In.
somnia the Causes.
(From Saturdays Advertiser

(From Saturdays Advertiser.)
Yesterday morning, the steamer XII
lohana brought from Hanamaulu the
sad news OF the death OF Henry Will
cox, brother Of Judge Luther Wilcox,
of this city. Upon receiving the startl-
ing intelligence Judge Wilcox left his
home and came into the city, where
letters were awaiting him from George
Wilcox, OF Lihue, and from II. w. T.
Purvis. Despondent from illness,
Henry Wilcox took his own life. Mr..
Wilcox was a sufferer from neuralgia
and insomnia. His physicians had
warned him that death might come at
any moment from apoplexy. Suffer-
ing intensely with pain, looking into
a future which seemed hopeless, his
mind perhaps for the moment weak
ened and the desire to end it all was
carried into action.
Mrs. Wilcox and her sister, Miss Car
rie Green, had been to Niumalu, be-
yond Nawiliwili, and did not return to
Hanamaulu until late last Wednesday
afternoon. As Mrs. Wilcox entered the
house she expected her husband there
to greet her. Not meeting him at the
threshold, she passed on into the bed
room. Almost overpowered, sustained
only by the comforting presence of her
sister, the woman saw on the floor be-
fore her, lying in his own blood, the
man from whom she had, parted but a
few hours before-dead. The stained
| temple and the pistol by his side, told
the story. One chamber in the pistol
was empty.
A coroner's jury was called and gave
a verdict of death by suicide. The
physician who examined the body an
nounced that the man had been dead
between four and five hours when dis
covered.
The funeral services, which took
place Thursday afternoon at o'clock,
the Rev. J. NJ. Lydgate conducting
them, were largely attended and many
beautiful floral offerings came from
friends of the deceased
Henry Wilcox was about 40 years OF
age. Born at Hanalei. Kauai, he, with
his brothers, grew up to manhood
there. 1t was in Honolulu he received
fundamental education, which he after
wards completed in the States. With
a mind well trained, he returned from
America and entered upon a business
career in Kauai. Mr.. Wilcox was a
man OF splendid business ability. hav-
ing accumulated at the time OF his
death wealth estimated at $4,000. He
was a man OF force and a leader, hav-
ing thorough acquaintance with
plantation work, both theoretical and
