A BOILER ROLLED ON HIM
WORKMAN MEETS WITH ACCI-
DENT AT THE FOUNDRY.
Whole Right Side Crushed by Piece of
Heavy Machinery--Eyen Chance Of
Living Through it.

There was a frightful accident in the
machine shop of the Honolulu Iron
Works shortly before o'clock yester-
day afternoon, as result of which a
native man is lying at his house today
with his right side badly crushed, arm
lacerated, ribs broken and death almost
certain.
The workman's name is Kali. He is
an old employe of the shops. Several
men were engaged removing a new
boiler, which had been turned out, one
of whom was Kali. The boiler had
been raised at one end upon a roller.
Kali was at that end The other end
was being pried up for the second roller
when the boiler started to roll down.
Kali was standing just behind the
end already on rollers. He was knock
ed fiat aback by the piece of machin-
cry. The boiler caught him on the
right leg, rolled up on the side of the
body and down to the mans head. BY
dexterously throwing his head aside he
saved the member from being crushed.
One thing only saved the native from
instant death. Near the boiler were
piles of iron. The boiler struck the OBJ
struction and veered slightly side ways
This kept 1T from rolling over the entire
| body of the workman.
When picked up Kali could not talk
| He was in a semi-consciouS condition
| Examination showed that two or more
| ribs were broken, his arm horribly
| bruised and the side of his head injur-
| ed. He was removed at once to his
| home, and a doctor was called. Today
| the man is resting easy but he has moi
! over even chances of recovery.

PROTECT SHIPPING MEN
SHIPPERS WANT HAWAIIAN
CERTIFICATES.
Suggestion That Local Government
Equip Steamer officers Before Am
erican Laws are Extended.

Inter-island sea captains, engineers
and other officers of ships are just now
exercised over the approaching day
when they will have to possess GER
tificates from the United States to go
out on their vessels. Some are not ap-
prehensive of bad results, but a major
ity view the change with evil forebod-
ings.
1t is safe to say that a majority of
the men dislike the idea of a board of
Coast men being sent here to examine
them for certificates. 1t is pointed
out and strongly contended that there
are just as competent men here as
the United States Government could
detail from San Francisco or anywhere
else for the work
The advantages of a local board are
many, and apparent to all. The coasts
of the Islands are rough. In the nature
of things a local skipper has far more
use for practical knowledge of the
ground than of the theories dished up
by the examining board. In fact, aside
from the mere examination into the
ability to run a boat, the questions of
the board have no more practical util-
ity to a local shipping man than would
a treatise on biology or conchology.
A Coast board unacquainted with this
fact would throw out the most compe-
tent skipper in the Island trade and
pass a beardless shrimp who does not
know there is a reef off the port of Ho-
nolulu Besides, there may be danger
of getting men on the board who Will
have friends in San Francisco anxious
to enter the shipping business in the
group.
An American captain, man with no
personal interest whatever in the mat
! ter. says:
LET the Hawaiian Government inn
mediately appoint an examining board
and commission on boilers and hulls
All officers required to pass the eXami-
nation may do so during the summer
and fall and receive their certificates
1t is almost a dead certainty that the
United States Government, when ii
| does take charge. will accept these
| certificates without hesitation 1t is
also almost equally certain that the
| original board, appointed by Mr.. Doie
will be continued in office by the Unit
| ed States.
| Il understand that there is no la =
here providing for such a board. Nc
! specific law is requisite. The Executive
| Council has authority, as / understand
the powers of that body. to do it,"

FEE SYSTEM IS ABOLISHED ONE GUILTY Of MURDER.
VERDICT IN KAHUKU RIOTING
CASE.
Ihara to Receive Extreme Penalty of
Law-Osak and General Yamane
Convicted of Manslaughter.

The Kahuku murder case came to an
end shortly before midnight, when af-
ter three hours dsliberation, the Jury
returned a verdict. Argument closed
in the afternoon, w. O. Smith being the
last speaker. At I o'clock the jury re-
assembled to hear the charge of Judge
Perry. Its delivery took one hour and
a quarter. The jury retired shortly af-
ter 8 o'clock and returned into the court
room something after IL.
AS is tAe custom here, the jury set
the degrees of guilt in each case.
Though all were charged with murder,
some were found guilty of man
slaughter only.
Ihara, the man against whom there
was apparently the most evidence, was
the only one convicted of murder in the
first degree. Two dissented from the
verdict. This man is the one charged
by witnesses for the prosecution with
starting the fight and with being actu-
ally engaged in murder
Osaki. man with Ihara, was ad
judged guilty of manslaughter in the
first degree. Three dissented. Under this
head a man may be sent to prison for
life.
Yamane, the man thought to have
been the general on the white horse
during the row, got off the lightest of
the three convicted. He was found
Bullty VI ildISlduSillel Ill lilt lIlIu Nt-
gree, which is a few shades above as
sault and battery. There were two dis
senting votes.
| Danjiro and Fujimoto We're found
not guilty. They were forthwith dis
charged by the court.
Judge Perry gave notice to the de-
! PENDANTS to be present in court Monday
| morning for sentence. ~
Attorney Robertson noted exceptions
! to the verdict as being contrary to the
! law and evidence and gave notice of a
motion for new trial. Exceptions al
| lowed.
The case has held eight days. 1t was
close jury, and upon that branch of
! the court the time has hung heavily.
Last night the jurymen were greatly
| fatigued. During the eight days and
nights of the hearing they have been
in the hands of the baliffs. outside of
access to the papers no privileges of
any sort have been allowed.
