PLACED It At HIS FEET
HOW McGURN SERVED SUMMONS
ON w. H. CORNWELL.
Lord of waikapu Gets Mad, But
Deputy Sheriff Proves Equal to the
Occasion.

Can a deputy sheriff compel a man
to receive a court summons on a civil
suit should be refuse so to do? This
question weighed a ton in the brain
of Albert McGurn, deputy sheriff for
serving summons, when he attempted
to deliver to defendant the bill in the
suit of j. A. MagoOn VS.. W. H. Corn
well. McGurn met his man on Mer-
chant street. The interview was not
pleasant. Mr.. Cornwell was already
angry about the matter and his temper
ature to boiling point when the officer
announced his business. The result of
the meeting is best told in McGurn's
own words, written on the back of the
bill
Served the within summons as fol-
lows: On w. H. Cornwell at Homo
lulu this 18th day of December, A. d.
1900, by rendering to w. H. Cornwell
certified copy hereof, and of the petit
ton hereto annexed and at the same
time showing him the original, which
certified copy he, the said w. H. Corn
well, then and there refused to ac-
cept or have anything to do with, and
which certified copy was left as near
as possible to the person of said w. II.
Cornwell, to wit by being placed at
the feet of said w. II. Cornwell while
he was standing on Merchant street in
the city of Honolulu"
The suit itself Is not q usual one III
this country of so many stock assess
ments. 1t is charged that Cornwell
| subscribed for twenty shares of the
| stock of the Sanitary Steam Laundry
| Co., but has paid none of the assess
ments The first half of the amount
| $500, seems to be secured by an "I O
! u" for that amount. The further sums
of $3.50 and $3.50 We're called for in July
| and September but were not paid.
The suit is interesting as it involves
| the question of the liability of a sub
scriber to some plantation stocks as
well. If the debt is held to be legal

THE COOK ISLANDS.

SYDNEY, December 3.-According to
the reports which came to hand on Sa-
urday by the Elingamite from the Cook
islands, via Auckland, the question
which is agitating the minds of the
Europeans at Raratonga is as to how
the government purposes administering
the affairs in the Cook group. The pre-
sent rulers (natives) appear TO regard
the situation complacently in the belief
that no change will be made; while the
whites are expecting most important
changes. The tardy progress of the
group is attributed by the latter to the
non-cultivation of valuable waste lands.
Under the old order the land was vest
ed in a few chiefs who have their tribes
living on these lands, but the natives
will not cultivate beyond their actual
wants. nor will they allow others to do
So A few foreigners have succeeded in
leasing land from the chiefs, but have
found that in order to make any head
way labor must be imported.

DIR. RUSSELL OF OLAA GETS
HIS.
Committee Of Independents Wait on
Secretary Cooper and Receive Salts
factory Response to Their Inquiries

The Independents do not take any
stock in the report that Secretary
Cooper has instructed Sheriff Andrews
of Hawaii to refuse an election certi-
ficate to DR.. Russell their candidate
for senator from Olaa and issue such
certificate to Mr.. Hostein. In fact
the government has no such intention
of trying to thwart the vote of the peo-
ple of that district and has already
issued the certificate. This fact was
ascrrtained yesterday.
A committee of four from the Inde-
pendent party Of which Robert Boyd
was the chairman waited upon Mr.
Cooper to ascertain why the certifi-
Gates of ]. b. Kaohi, senator from
North Kohala, and Ewalilko, represen-
tative from HilO, had not been receiv-
ed by those successful Independent
candidates. Information from those
gentlemen was to the effect that their
certificates had not been received by
the 14th. Mr.. Cooper showed the COM
mittee the original certificates of cleo
ton issued to these officers as well as
that of DR.. Russell Inasmuch as all
the certificates had been issued by the
10th of this month the delay in their
receipt was not the fault of the secre-
tarys department but probably in the
transmission through the mails. No
complaint has been received from DIR.
Russell so the presumption is that he
has received his certificate.

CH|NATONNS CONDITION
DIR. ARMITAGE MAKES STARTLING
DISCLOSURES.
Report to superintendent McCandless
Sets Sanitary Schemes in Motion-The
Actual Condition.

The startling statement was this
morning made by DR.. j. II. Raymond,
president of the Board of Health, to
J. A. McCandless, superintendent of
public works, that new Chinatown be-
yond Nuuanu stream is getting in
condition as insanitary and dangerous
as old Chinatown was prior to the out
break of plague year ago. Surprise
was expressed at this disclosure, for the
district is new and most of the houses
have been occupied only a few months.
Moreover, the new regulations in re-
gard to cess-pools, floors, standing wa
ter, ETC., have been enforced in each
building. AT the same time the well
known scope of DR.. Armitages judg-
ment on sanitation, coupled with his
conservatism in the matter of giving
unnecessary or unusual annoyance to
the public, or any part of it, caused
those who heard the statement to ap-
prehend that the condition of things in
Honolulu's new Canton was very bad
such proves to be the case. New
Chinatown is already, a disease breed
ing slough. OF course the recent storms
have had something to do with it, flood
| ing yards, creating duck ponds here and
there and dampening the ground be-
meath houses. The chief fault, however
| is with the people themselves. Their
| filthy customs were not purged by the
great fire of last January. The filth is
| not COIllHeu 10 cess pools nor SIdBndnt
ponds but is to be found in yards, un-
der houses and even inside of many liv-
! ing rooms. On the town side of the
| Cross building and from the building
/ beyond the Fountain saloon to Liliha
and Vineyard street the condition of
| things is exceedingly bad and is daily
! getting worse. From Palama chapel tC
the lumber yard near the depot is al
ready place plague germs would strike
! a bonanza. The restaurants on Liliha
| street are in miserable condition. Ir
fact the only one in the whole settle
ment that does not CRATE on the Olfac-
tory nerves is the small establishment
near the Royal school.
The fault is not with the buildings
but with the people themselves.
white person could occupy almost any
one of the houses a life time without
getting them in the condition most Of
them now are.
The danger light thrown out by DR.
Raymond this morning is already being
needed. Superintendent McCandles
will at once proceed to fill in the low
places condemned by the Health Board
The inspection department has beel
instructed and has detailed his best in
speotors to Chinatown. DR.. Raymond
policy will be to prosecute vigorous
campaign until the district is in tho
roughly good condition and to thel
keep it so.

USING COMPRESSED AIR.
First Introduced as Mechanical Power
In Hawaii.

Something of a novelty in mechanical
appliances in Hawaii is in use in the
work of eXcavating for the foundations
of the Alexander Young building. 1t is
the use of compressed air as the opera
ting power for the drill used in blasting
and eXcavating. 1t is said this is the
first use of compressed air in the islands.
A great advantage of compressed air
is that it can be carried to much greater
distances than steam can, not being
condensed as steam is
gasoline engine is used to compress
the air The compressed air is then
carried by an iron pipe line to where it
is needed, the connection with the drill
being made by a flexible rubber tube.
Its action in generating power is al
most indentical with that of steam. 1t
is let into a cylinder fitted with a pis-
ton, the compressed air expanding, al
ternately driving the piston back and
forth. The operation of compressed air
can be distinguished from that of steam
by the exhaust.
Compressed air is used very extern
sively in deep mining operations and
where power has to be carried long dis
tanceS.

THE MYSTERY UNSOLVED
CLARA SCHNEIDER's DEATH NOT
EXPLAINED.
The Soldiers Suicide and His Girl
Friends Death by Poisoning Con-
nected Only by Inference.

How Miss Clara Chneider received
the poison that caused her death will
probably never be known. The coro-
ner's jury in the case ended it's long
labors this afternoon, with an open"
verdict. 1t was not able to decide
whether Miss Schneider had commit
ted suicide or had been murdered by
the administration of poison, and in
the absence Of any testimony to shed
light on what took place on the last
night of her life, when she went out to
meet Bennett, there is little probable
ity that the mystery will ever be clear
ed up.
1t has not been shown that Miss
Schneider met Bennett on the night
when she was poisoned. Some of the
evidence goes to show that Bennett
never left his quarters at camp Nc
Kinley on that night,
The end of the investigation leaves
Major Ennis theory the only one that
| has much support. 1t is that Miss
Bennett committed suicide when she
found she could not get her money
back from Bennett, and that the con-
sciousness that he had caused her
death drove the soldier to suicide.
HE was the kind of man." says
| Major Ennis, "who would kill himself
if he thought he had caused the death
| of a girl like that"
This afternoon Deputy Sheriff Chill
| lingworth made a flying trip to Wal
| kiki to investigate the contents of an
alleged medicine chest from which it
was thought that Miss Schneider might
! have got morphine He found no such
! chest. His efforts overthrew the last
hope that light might be shed on the
way in which the young woman got
the poison. The investigation ends
with nothing more known than thai
at some time before three or -four
o'clock on last Wednesday morning the
girl swallowed the drug. Where she
got it will, probably never be known
nor how she took it, nor where she
ate the meal which the post morten
physicians say was probably taker
| with or soon after the poison.

TWO JAPANESE KILLED

A japanese workman at Eleele met
with a frightful death on the wharf
last Tuesday. He wGs crushed beneath
a siX-ton piece of machinery, which
was being loaded on to a car. The Jap's
body was so mutilated as to be unre-
cognizable, and the pieces were carried
away in a sack.
The piece of iron that killed the Jap
was discharged from the Niihau on
her last trip and had been turned over
to the railroad. 1t was standing up
right alone, when the Jap stopped
down by it to fix some gear. The lines
became entangled and the heavy piece
of iron fell over on to the Jap. Death
must have been instantaneous, as the
body was mashed fiat. The Jap was
one of the men employed at the plan
tation.
A Japanese laborer named Matsu-
mura was run over by a dray on King
street at about six o'clock and almost
killed on the spot. He was riding his
wheel towards the city and the dray
was going the other way. Matsumura
met the dray at Kawaiahao church
and ran into a pile of stones. His
| wheel was upset and he fell under the
hind wheels Of the heavy wagon.
| One wheel passed over the mans
body, crushing it fearfully, but it miss
| ed his head, and he was still alive
| when picked up. He was taken TO the
| hospital. The doctors give no hope of
his recovery
| The accident was not seen at all by
| the driver of the dray, who is one of
| Hustace and company men. The Jap
! passed by him and did not fall till he
had passed behind the driver.

CERTIFICATES ARE ESEDA TALE 0 COPPER GNTSE QUOTES VANDERBILT
F. S. DODGE PUZZLES CAR MAN
WITH NEW MONEY.
Insists on Paying Fare With the Wee
Yellow Coins and is Allowed to Ride
Free-A Car Scene.

Frank S. Dodge rode on a tramcar
from Alakea street to Kamehameha
school this afternoon and did not pay
his fare. 1t was not because Mr. Dodge
was broke" at the time, nor that he
had known the conductor back east
nor that he is an official of the road
but the civil engineer of the Bishop
Estate wanted to initiate the tram rar
people into the appearance and uses
of American money that the diversion
was undertaken.
Yesterday Mr.. Dodge had occasion to
make several deals at the Honolulu
post office. Each time he received
few copper one cent pieces in change.
1t may be explained that nothing less
than a nickel was used here until Uncle
Sam put postal cards and stamps on
sale.
Mr.. Dodge is a believer in the one
cent piece and thinks the time for it's
use has come. He tried the banks and
found they were good although none
of them wanted more than a barrel of
them at a time. Next he thought of
the tram car drivers and Mr.. Pains
mule company. He boarded the car
with a wicked look in his eye. Delving
into his pockets he drew out a handful
| of 'cOppers' and counted out five of
| them. The conductor came along
| smiling and the surveyor placed them
| gently into his hand.
| The conductor was son of Portugal
and knew not of the copper cent and its
| invaluable service in the Cheap John
( stores back east He had not heard of
| Charles Broadway Rouse and the way
! he used to sell a dollars worth of goods
| for 10l cents to induce a suspicion of
! cheapness. He stood for a moment
gazing open mouth at the handful of
! yellow metal. Then:
mo no, Senior; no. senior. l no
sabe the mon "
But you must 'sabe' it," retorted the
surveyor sharply. THAT is American
money; American legal tender, and you
must take it,"
'oeu faco isto Senior Pain flea
renando Pain too much hoohoo me

know what do"
Nov, look here. came on this cal

paid my fare and that is the end ot it.
Yes, Senior; but I no want. None!
no all same the nick"
well, you'll take that or you viii
take nothing. l will not give you
nickel nor any other kind of money"
The driver hesitated for a moment
looked at the money, then at Mr.. Dodge
The surveyors face looked determined
The dozen passengers were watchin
the result with keen interest.
"All right; better you take you
money and ride free this time. Me n
sabe money; no sabe you" the conduc
tor concluded, handing back the none
and retreating to the front platform
There was a merry giggle among tn
passengers. Mr.. Dodge settled back /
his seat for the ride to the end of tn
line, determined to offer copper cent
again for the ride back.
