county takes a goodly portion of

the figures show that the county

this statement ought to be mighty

How the services Of Professor Gil

seryatory-that professor who, as you
will remember had distinguished him
self not a little at one time and anoth-
er as a detective--were secured In
working up the case Of Martha Dodge
I have never been informed. 1t Is
fact, however, that his services had
been secured and that he was now at
work trying to clear up the mystery
surrounding her death.
There were many points OF resem-
blance In the circumstances surround
ing her death and that Of the young
Boston woman which the papers made
mention Of some years ago. The body
Of Martha Dodge, like that OF the Bos-
ton woman, was found In a building
that had been struck by lightning, and
the police had at first blunderingly
supposed the lightning had killed her.
1t was not until a medical examina-
ton was held that 1t was discovered a
bullet had penetrated her heart
The detectives had then commenced
work on the case, and their theories
were many. Suicide, murder, acci-
dent-all these causes. with theories
supporting them, were advanced.
Miss Dodge had been employed as a
bookkeeper and cashier in the office Of

leaving Miss Dodge at the Office alone.
About 3 in the afternoon a shower
came up, and the thunder was unusual
ly heavy. The office OF Miller & Morse
was In The Daily Telegraph building.
The building had clock tower, and at
exactly II minutes past by the clock
the building was struck by lightning.
The. exact time was known, for the
clock stopped when the building was
struck. The room In which Miss Dodge
was working was directly under the
clock tower. The bolt descending into
the room, set fire to. the woodwork.
The FIRE was soon discovered, and the
fire department. extingnished 1t before
1t had done much damage.
The editorial and. composing rooms
Of The Daily Telegraph were in anoth-
er part Of the building. this portion Of
1t being devoted exclusively to offices
which were occupied chiefly by bro
kers, the local exchange being directly
across the street AS these offices
closed at 1 o'clock Saturdays. there
were very few people in this part Of
the building at ths time.
Walter Jones. a boy Of Is, employed
In an office under that Of Miller &
Morse, had staidl to write letter after
the office closed and he was In the
poom when the building was, struck.
He gave the alarm, and the first per-
sons to rush into the burning room
were the city editor and a reporter OF
The Daily Telegraph They found the
body Of Miss Dodge stretched on the
ioor not far from the cashiers window
and concluded, naturally enough, that
the lightning had killed her.
In the corner where stood Mr..
Morse's desk the woodwork was burn
ed considerably. and the fire had part
ly destroyed the desk before being ex-
tinguished. The desk was standing
open. and on 1t was the cashbook of
the firm, also partly--in fact, nearly
destroyed by fire. A stool upon which
Miss Dodge sometimes sat when work
| ing at q high desk near the cashiers
window was found overturned, and on
the floor near 1t was the shattered glass
globe belonging to gas fixture over
the high desk. The gas from this FIX
ture was found burning.
On hook over this desk hung q
small mirror A drawer Of the high
desk, In which Miss Dodge kept few

CUTTING OFF THE
CATTLE WHARVES
Dredging for New Railway
Wharves Filling up the
Approaches.

1t was reported at the meeting of the
Governors council yesterday that the
work which the Oahu Railway Company
was interfering with the approaches to
the cattle wharves and that unless some
measures were taken to stop the work
or to have the railway company make
some different disposition of the soil that
! 1t is dredging from the harbor in con-
Istructing its new docks the tile wharves
would be cut off entirely from access from
the land side. Mr.. McCandless made tie
report of the matter to the council and
! it was decided to obtain some informa-
ton from the railway people on the sub
ject and to stop the work if necessary.
MIR. Dennison, superintendent OF the rail-
way, agreed when the matter was brought
to his attention to leave a roadway to
| the cattle wharves.
/ 1t appears also that the channel to
/ On arantine island is being filled up by
! the discharge from the dredges and Dr..
Carmichael of the United States Hospital
service added his protest to that made
concerning the cattle wharves. The mat
ter is. to be investigated.
I Protests were received from jewellers at
I Waimea, Hawaii, against the granting of
a light wine and beer license to A =.
Hewitt of that place. Alfred Carter AMI
E. c. Macfarlane appeared before the
council to make the protests. They stated
that Waimea had got along well enough
without such places and they thought it
would continue to do so. The license mad
beer approved by the Council some weeks
before but owing to these objections the
matter was reconsidered and Treasurer
Lansing was directed not to issue the
license.
| An application was received from S.
! Okutano of Hama, Maui for a similar
license, but it was not approved by the
deputy sheriff of the district as it was
found that the place was to be located in
the midst of one of the Japanese camps
A protest was received from Shingo Imai,
who signed himself as Methodist Preach
err against the granting of license to
any Japanese whatever for Hama district
and it was endorsed by H. Kihara, the
japanese pastor in this city.
Colonel C. J. Mccarthy applied for a
renewal of the Criterion license, with the
privilege of moving his place of business
to its new location at the corner of Hotel
and Bethel streets. 1t was granted.
| Superintendent Atkinson of the Board OF
Education reported the matter of the
leducation of children who had not been
lgiven health certificates. The council dis
crssed the question informally.
