KILLED IN CONSTRUCTION
ALREADY.
Takes the Middle of a Perpendicular
Cliff and is Narrow and Unprotected
Cost and Contract.

KUKUIHAELE, July 25-If you go
to Jones' store and ask Where is Wal
pio?' they will point to the west. If
you ask Where is the new Waipio
road?' they will point to the northeast
II you ask any more questions, you
will hear something. The new Waipiu
road begins at the sugar mill a half
mile from the main road i'm a straight
line, and narly mile by the road. Just
why 1t begins so far away, nobody now
seems to know. 1t is supposed there
was time when somebody knew, but
now he has forgotten. This road was to
be finished last March, and not one
quarter is blocked out. None Of it is
finished if you except about 5UO feet
near the mill.
Commencing at the mill the road
leads directly west At the mill is good
ground ana this part of the road one
may say it is fairly good till you come
to the ditch that takes the waste fiume
water; after that all is chaos. The cliff
is 1900 or 1900 feet high and the road
takes the middle of it. The chiff is
almost perpendicular and in some
places 1t rs more so. If you look up you
fear the rocks will fall down .on you;
If you look down you fear you will fall
down on the rocks
The road is supposed to be II feet
wide; but none is more than 10 feet and
from that down to feet. In places
the road hangs on the face of the cliff,
and a stone dropped from the hand will
almost reach the beach without strik-
ing anything. There are no walls on
the outside, and everything seems as
dangerous as possible. Three men have
been killed in the construction of the
road, so far. They We're japanese, and
they either fell over the cliff or stones
rolled on them from above.
The road is to be built for the rice

He SMASHED A SAILOR
CHARGE AGAINST SHIPPING
MASTER TURK.
Arrested Without Lewis This Time for
Assault and Battery-Shipping Busi-
ness Still Lively.

Frank j. Turk, the shipping master,
was in the tolls again this afternoon.
He was arrested by Police Captain
Flint, on a warrant for assault and bat
terry, sworn to by a sailor named
Charles Engman. Lewis wasn't in ii
this time, so the two inseparables We're
separated for once. Engman alleges
that TURK struck him on Saturday and
he has a swollen black eye to show the
Judge in proof of his charge.
Engman's objection to shipping on
the Star of Italy is said to have been
the cause of the trouble. Ii is alleged
that Turk had a berth he wanted to put
the sailor in and that Engman wouldn t
sign at the wages offered, wherefore
Turk is alleged to have smashed" the
tar. The tar beat hasty retreat and
went for warrant. He was asked to-
day why he didn't do some fighting
back, as sailors are supposed to. I'D
rather get a warrant and see the bloke
in jail" he replied.
Evangelist ,McComb is getting into
some hot water now, as a result Of his
energetic campaign of talk against the
shipping masters. Turk & Lewis de-
clare that McComb is after cheap motor
iety, and they are spreading about the
water front various stories intended to
show that the Joyful News Mission
man is not model sky pilot. McComb
is said to be boosting wages, so that
men will not ship. Sailors are asking
$40 a month now and the market has
an upward tendency.
Last night McCOmb spent some more
of his eloquence on Lewis & Turk. His
meetings are beginning to be entertain
ing to sailors, saving souls as Nc
Comb is supposed to. 1t is said that
one or two local merchants have sent
fair-sized purses to the Joyful News
man, at which dOings Turk and Lewis
wink the other eye.
In the meantime the captains in port
are getting men as best they can. The
combination against Lewis and Turk
which so completely broke up their bus
mess for a time, is no longer in full ef-
feet, but they have to hustle for busi-
ness. Captain Bray of the Sailors
Home is doing a lot of shipping bust
ness Lewis & Turk, however, are also
placing crews and but for the fire.
quency of their police court experiences
they claim to be getting along very
well. Turk put up $25 bail this after
noon, and will appear before Judge VIII
cox tomorrow morning, for the third
time in his brief Honolulu career.

SKIPPED 70 THE COAST
SOUZA FORFEITS FIVE HUNDRED
DOLLARS BAIL.
Leaves for the Coast on a Sailing Vessel
as Soon as He Gets Out of Prison
Father Loses Money

H. r. SOuza, who was arrested last
week for forgery, forfeited $500 bail this
morning, and is believed to have gone
away on a sailing vessel. The amount
of money he sought to obtain by the
alleged forgery was only $40. Souza re-
mained in prison all week until Satur-
day, when his father arrived from Hilo
on the Kinau and put up $500 cash bail.
A few hours later the young man was
on a sailing vessel bound for the Coast,
according to all accounts. He is
thought to have taken the W. H. Di-
mond or the Diamond Head.
Souza's alleged crime was the forg-
ing of the name of DR.. Alvarez to an
endorsement of a check for $40, which
he asked +. H. Burnet to cash on Sun
day, July %. Burnett did not want to
pay the money without an endorsement,
and SOuza left, returning again with
the name of DR.. Alvarez on the back of
the check. Burnett became suspicious
and drove up to Dr. Alvarez, and the
latter stated that he had not made any
endorsement of a check for Souza. a
warrant was sworn to, and SOuza was
arrested a week ago yesterday.
The young man will probably not be
brought back unless the complaining
witnesses are anxious to have him pun
ished. No warrant has yet been issued,
and the matter will probably be allow
ed to drop with the forfeiting of $500
bail. Forgery is punishable by impris-
Onment at hard labor for ten years.

BUT CANNOT HOLD OFFICE YET
AWHILE.
Important Conclusion of the Executive
Reached This Morning-All Sorts of
Routine Matters.

At the meeting this morning the Ex-
ecutive threshed out the subject of
whether or not aliens recently natural
lied could vote and hold office. The
matter was brought up by Attorney
General Dole. 1t was the opinion that
such persons could vote, but could not
hold office until after they had lived
here twelve months as American citi-
zens. If this opinion is adhered to it
will dispose of the contention in regard
to several office holders.
Treasurer Lansing called attention to
the fact that the oil warehouses at Ho-
nolulu and Hilo were being used for
the storing of goods other than oil,
which was not the intention of the Gov
ernment.
Mr.. Lansing reported the application
of l.. Turner e. Co. of Hilo, for articles
of Incorporation to be in good form.
The papers in this matter had been re-
turned to the parties for correction.
The application of the Hawaiian FL
ectric Company for permission to lay
pipe line under Alakea street from
the Sailors Home to it's works. was re-
ferTed to superintendent McCandless
with power to act.
The matter of Leslies application for
patent to quiet title to a piece of
land was taken up. 1t was the opinion
that it belonged to the legislature.
Attorney General Dole reported a list
of persons on the Island of Hawaii
whose civil rights should be restored to
them. The list was supplied by Sheriff
Andrews.
Mr.. McCandless presented a map
showing the proposed widening of
Queen street. He stated that deals had
been consummated with Mr.. Magoon
and other property holders for the land
required for the improvement.

WANT DRILL SHED "WEDNESDAY
NIGHT.
Delegates Will be Escorted From the
Australia and the Speaking Will be
Held in the Evening.

Democrats are preparing to hold a
ratification of the nomination of Bryan
and Stevenson on Wednesday night at
the Drill Shed, if that place of meeting
can be secured. According to the ar
rangements a committee of Democrats
will meet Prince David and w. H. Corn
well and the remaining delegates, when
they arrive on the steamer Australia,
Wednesday morning from San Fran
cisco. The party will be escorted in
carriages to the Hawaiian Hotel, where
short reception will be held.
At 1880 o'clock in the evening there
will be public meeting at the Drill
Shed, when the returning delegates
and Delegate John H. Wise will speak.
G. j. Mccarthy will preside. Refresh
ments will be served.
The original intention of the party
was to hold a select luau, but for some
reason the exclusive style of ratifica-
ton was abandoned and the more dem
ocratic style of mass meeting adopted,
to the evident satisfaction of the rank
and file who did not relish the idea of
being denied seats at the festive board
of party patriotism A luau is an
nounced for some future date, however
The coming celebration will occur only
two nights before a similar meeting of
the Republicans, but unlike the grand
old party managers, the disciples of 1G
to l will not have a street parade.
All of the necessary arrangements
have not yet been completed by the
Democratic special committee, but as
there seems nothing likely to interfere
with their securing the Drill Shed, the
ratification will no doubt take place.

GERMAN MILITARY SYSTEM.
Subjects Liable to be Called Home Any
Moment.

A number of German subjects resid-
ing here were examined by the surgeon
of the cruiser Ge;er to determine
whether they were physically liable to
military duty to the Fatherland. Under
the military system of the German EN-
pire all men are subject to military SER
vice as soon as they are seventeen
years of age. In the infantry they are
required to serve two years and the
cavalry and artillery three years while
in the navy the service is as high as
four year.
Leave of absence is granted in most
cases when desired and is never longer
than one year except between the
years of seventeen and twenty, when it
is three years. By securing this leave
of absence the holder can go to any
part of the world but he must be in
communication with the German consul
at his place of residence in order to
have his leave extended at the eXpira-
tiOn of the year 1t is not necessary
however to pass the government exam
ination before one is granted the leave
of absence.
Holders of this leave are subject to
summons from the government at any
time when their services are deemed
necessary. They are required to report
Immediately home and at their own ex-
pense the government taking the posi-
tion that if they had enough money
with which to leave the Germany they
should have enough with which to re-
turn. In case of failure to respond to
the summons he is posted as a de-
serter on the army lists and he for
feits his citizenship as a German. The
people now being examined have not
been called home but are merely taking
this opportunity of ascertaining their
physical capacity for service for should
they be found physically deficient they
are of course excused.

NATIVES ARE ENGINEERING A
COUP.
Rather Interesting Story From Hawaii
an Sides of Two Parties-Wise a Can
didate for Congress.

Robert wilcox gave luau Saturday
evening in honor of John Wise, one of
the Democratic delegates to Kansas
City. Presents were James K. Kaulia,
D. Kalauokalani and a few others of
the Ineepenhent leaders. During the
luau politics were not referred to by
anyone plesent.
Since his return Mr. Wise has done
some hard work for the Democratic
party, and claims to have met with
great success among his native friends.
He has told them a great deal about
16 to l, the plank which he saved for
his party.
1t is understood that Mr.. Wise will
be a candidate for nomination of the
Democrats for Congress. Some of the
leaders at Kansas City told him they
would like to meet him at the national
capitol.
Below and beyond this, too it is
learned that there is a well developed
movement now on for coalition or
fusion between the Democrats and In
dependents. Thus far the movement
seems to be confined to the natives, as
the Democratic central committee
seems to know nothing of it. Kaulia
has stated openly that there would be
fusion, and Mr.. Wise says that there
will be an understanding between the
parties very shortly.
On Saturday number of young ma
tives were working on the Wise candi-
dacy for Congress. They were largely
graduates of the Kamehameha School.
1t is understood to be their plan to ask
Wilcox to withdraw in favor of Wise,
and then to ask Democrats and Inde-
pendents to nominate the latter.
Kaulia, Kalauokalani and Wilcox will
not go to Hawaii until next week. They
will attend the Democratic ratification
luau, which is scheduled for 2 o'clock
Saturday afternoon.
The Republican rally will take place
Friday evening. 1t will be on precisely
the lines originally mappe1 out.

sTILL LINING IN PALOLO VALLEY

The recent large number of sudden
deaths in Palolo Valley have had no
effect in causing the balance of the
residents to desert that pretty place.
AS a matter of fact, the relatives of the
unfortunate dead have merely moved
TO different places in the valley, and
have not deserted the section at all.
The other natives, Chinese and Japan

has been no evidence of any hegira to
escape the alleged work of the kahu-

though individuals will be accepted for
enlistment in different regiments.

are allies in the war, there is no dis

part from the old rule in regard to
troops from countries outside of their

WANTS THEM NoN-PARTIsAN,
New Idea for the Appointment of Local
Officers.

A very sensible and timely sugges-
tiOn has been made by Mr.. George
Hons, one of the Territorial Republican
committeeman to the effect that in the
appointment of our local officers, such
as registration and election officers,
road boards, land commissioners, sup
erintendent of water works and other
purely local offices, politics be laid en-
tireiy to one side, and republicans, de-
mocrats, independents ana non-parti-
sans all meet and discuss proposed ap-
pointments solely with the view of Sc
curing the best men available for the
different Offices, without any reference
to their political affiliations Doubtless,
such action would govern the authori-
ties i'm making their appointments, and
it is to be hoped that Mr. Hons sug-
gestion will be carried out.-Maui

~
The following from the Norfolk Land
mark is of pleasing interest to Rich
nonlers who knew the subject well:
-sMr. John c. Weckert, a former Nor
folk boy, but now q popular young law
yer of Richmond, is in the city. Mr.
Weckert. who is writer of ability and
practical printer. is publishing a
monthly. The Stars and Stripes in
the interest OF the B. p. Q. Efks, OF
which fraternal organization he is an
enthusiastic member. 1.-The Stars and
Stripes" is now@in its second volume,
having been received with favor all over
the South. where there is no other peri
odieai of the kind.
The Stars and Stripes is in its en-
tirety the work of Mr.. Weckert. He
writes every line Of matter, sets every
stick OF type. and prints every edition
without assistance No one would sus-
poet that the monthly Is not the output
of a whole job printing Office, and a good
one az that. Mr. Weckert deserves
hearty encouragement. Besides being
lawyer. editor and printer, this versatile
young Elk is a crack marksnan, and
wears a handsome medal which he Sc.
cured while a member of one of Rich
monds military companies. Mr.. Weckert
was a student at the Norfolk Academy
about nine years ago, and has many
friends here.
