SHARK AFTER HIM.

Joseph Hartman, a saloon man, claims
to have been snapped at by a small
shark in the water at Waikiki Annex
yesterday afternoon. The story is hard
iy plausible, although the man speaks
very positively of the experience. A
singular feature of the sta lament is that
the bather was in the comparatively
shallow water inside the reef. Some
people believe he snagged on fish
hook left by some careless Kanala boy
in the surf.
e. c. Macfarlane proprietor of the
Waikiki Annex denounoes Hartman s
story as absolutely false. There is a
well defined reef around Waikiki beach
said Mr.. Macfarlane "and it is abso-
lutely impossible for sharks to get in
side. They can not come over the reef
and there is no channel through the
wall This man claims that the bath
ing suit parted when the shark tugged
at it, A careful examination of the
Annex bathing suits has been made and
there has been absolutely none found
with any holes or tears which would
bear out his statements"
The old inhabitants looked upon
Hartman's story with amusement
Such an occurrence has never been
known in that locality nor indeed have
any sharks been known to get inside
the reef.

married to DIR. Arthur Gordon Hodgins.
The Right Reverend Alfred Willis, Bis
hop of Honolulu, officiated.
The ceremony took place in the hand

which was simply, but effectively deco
rated. Miss Annie Whitney was the
bridesmaid, and c. c. Eakin the best
man. The bride was given away by Mr..
Whitney. The bride wore a handsome
white gown. while the bridesmaid was
attired in a strikingly effective pink
one. Following the ceremony wedding
supper was served. Those in attendance

Whitney, Miss Annie Whitney c. c.
Eakin, Frank Whitney and DR.. C. B,
High.

classmate of Miss Annie Whitney at
Wolfe Hall Denver the past year, and

groom came here something over a
/ year ago from London, Ontario, and has
| been in very successful medical prac-
/ tiCe since.
! DR.. and Mrs. Hodgins will live for the
present at the Waikiki Annex.

LIQUOR CASES DISMISSED.
Humphreys Quashes the Indictments
Against Macfarlane and Hayward.

Judge Humphreys has quashed the
indictments against both E. c. Macfar-
lane and j. p Hayward, selling liquor
on Sunday. The former is proprietor of
the Waikiki Annex and the latter took
out the original liquor license for Wal
kilxi Inn. Neither of the men carry on
the business of the respective inst.tu-
tions named, and this fact was present
ed to the court. The indictments in the
cases were presented by the grand jury.
They were faulty in that they did not
specify dates upon which liquor was
sold nor to whom the liquor was sold.
Upon this plea they We're quashed
Judge Humphreys this morning grant
ed the petition of r. w. Cathcart, exc
cutor of the estate of the late James
Dodd. to sell certain lasese at Waikiki
belonging to the estate. In place of q
private sale, however, the court directed
| that the sale should be by auction anc
that not less than $4,000 should be ac-
| cepted for the leases.
The case of the two Ichis, japanese
brothers charged with assault with a
deadly weapon at Iwilei, is still or
| trial.

.H|LO RAISES THE MONEY.
HAS $1,000 FOR EXPENSES OF THE
CONVENTION.
News Arrived by Steamer Hawaii Yes
terday Afternoon-OhcialR Report Ex-
pected on Saturday.

Hilo has raised the sum of $1,000 for
the Republican convention and wants
the meeting in her borders. This news
came by the steamer Hawaii which ar
rived yesterday afternoon.
Colonel Little's statement in The Star
of Monday seems to have been correct
Upon receipt of Chairman George w.
Smiths letter the promoters" of the
Hllo boom started out and in a short
time had the money in hand. This is
the report now here.
The probabilities are, therefore, that
by the Kinau on Saturday the central
committee will receive an official re-
port that the cash is in hand. A meet
ing will then be held at which the place
of meeting of the convention will finally
be determined.

WILL RECONSIDER MATTER
GOVERNMENT AND wAHIAwA
WATER RIGHTS.
Emmeluth Writes a Letter that Brings
Question ur Again-Both Sides to be
Heard on Il.

The Government has consented to re-
open the Wahiawa water matter and
will hear both sides on 1t early next
week, perhaps Monday. 1t will be i'm
possible to have hearing tomorrow
as the parties to the controversy will
not be ready by that time.
1t was stated in The Star yesterday
that the Executive had practically de-
cided to turn the water in the forests
above Wahiawa over to the Waialua
Agricultural Company, instead of Civ
ig II to the Wahiawa Sugar Company.
which had filed an application for il.
Mr.. Emmeluth, representing the latter
concern, had heard of the probable ac-
tion at the meeting referred to and ad-
dressed a letter to the Governor asking
that before final action be taken both
sides be given chance of a hearing.
L is this proposal that the Government
now consents to.
Prior to the application of the Wa
hiawa Sugar Company letters had been
received by the Executive from the Cal
ifornia colony and the Waialua Agri-
cultural Company regarding the same
supply of water The Colonists asked
that their interests be protected. The
| Waialua Company wanted the water
| permanently on condition that they
agree to supply water to the farmers at
reasonable rates. on account of the
! expense the company proposed to en-
! counter it did not propose to pay any
| thing for the water. That Is its pro-
position in nutshell. The advantage
| i'm it is the proposal to take care of the
! California truck farmers The Wahiawa
proposition was to fence the forest and
| conserve the water for its own use.
Nothing was said of the farmers. AL
| though ii is not so stated the presump-
I tion is that the company expects to pay
an annuity for the use of the water.
| Governor Dole says: The govern
! ment can not be expected to take part
| in any private controversy between in
| dividuals or corporations over water
| rights. Our desire is to do the best
we can for the public interests and the
people Immediately affected by trans
| fer of the water privileges to private
parties. The applicants will now be
| given a hearing and we will then see
| what can be done"

HORRIBLE H|LO MURDER
TRAGEDY ON A LONELY ROAD
TOWARD OLAA.
"A Chinese Hack Driver Killed in His
Vehicle and the Body Thrown out and
Covered Up.

"A shocking murder was committed
last Saturday near Hilo the victim be-
ing a Chinese hack driver. His throat
was cut while he was driving along a
lonely road late in the evening and the
body was taken from the hack, thrown
over wall and partially covered with
brush and leaves. Robbery is supposed
to have been the motive.
The victim of the murder was All
Joe. He was seen at Waiakea at 10 in
the evening, and is said to have had two
white men in his hack. He drove out
on the Olaa road. Four hours later his
hack came back empty, with blood all
over the front seat.
Relatives of the Chinese at once instl-
tuted a search and kept it up all
through the night. When daylight came
Ah Joes brother-in-law found the body
by the road side, half hidden by brush
and grass.
The mans throat had been cut, it
appeared, from behind, on both sides.
1t is supposed that his passenger or
passengers suddenly struck him as he
was driving. Then, to hide the crime,
they carried the body out of the hack
and tried to conceal. All Joe had been
robbed of watch and chain and all
the money that was on his person.
There was no clew to the murderers,
bue it is thought that they will be found
as there is certain to be blood on their
clothes in considerable quantities. The
hack had been drenched with blood, and
il was evident that the unfortunate
Chinese had bled to death in the seat
Where he had held the reins, before his
body was carried off.
Suspicion is principally directed to two
sailors, who are known to have spent
all night on shore. One is from the
schooner Okanogan and the other from
the bark Annie Johnson. They will bt
apprehended and closely questioned.
The news of the terrible crime was
brought to Honolulu yesterday after
noon, by the steamer Hawaii. Pursel
Reynolds and captain Nicholson report
a rumor that two Japanese had been ar
rested on suspicion, but theJ Were no
able to verify the report. The victim o.
the murder was 26 years old and wa'
quite a we'll known hackman. There Is
no known motive for the horrible crime
except that of robbery.

ARLINGTON SALE BEGUN.
Large Crowd Present But Bidding Not
Very Lively.

The sale of the Arlington hotel and
contents was begun this morning by
VIII e. FISHER The ferns and potte1
plants, of which there is such a gener-
Gus collection, were first placed up for
auction but the bidding was so listiess
that the auctioneer decided to so into
the house and see If the large crowd OF
women present could not be induced to
separate themselves from their money
by offers of bargains in household
goods. A number of rattan chairs,
rockers and settees went at ridiculous
ly low figures. An attempt was made
to dispose of the pictures and after sell
ing half a dozen Mr.. Fisher went to the
bric-a- brac collection and disposed of
some of this class of goods at better
figures than other classes had brought
Considerable interest, aside from the
historical romance is taken in the sale
of the house. The banisters are made
from koa a very rare wood while the
handsome posts to the main staircase
are turned from kou, a wood which Is
practically extinct. The sale of the
monkeys and other members of the well
assorted menagares will not take place
until tomorrow. In the meanwhile the
pair of simeons are receiving more at
tention than they have known in years.

transport Service AGAIN
COLONEL RUHLEN MAY REMAIN
HERE.
The Belgian King Arrives From San
Misunderstanding Steamers to
China is Stopped.

The transport Belgian King arrived
here this morning from San Francisco
on her way to Manila, with a number
of army nurses and surgeons on board
and cargo of stores. Her coming this
way shows the governments change
of plan with regard to the situation in
the far east. Up to a day or two before
she left the Belgian King was on the
list for China, but after the taking of
Pekng without any severe fighting,
sending transports to China was stop
ped and the Manila business was begun
again.
The regular trips of transports to
Manila, via Honolulu, are to be resumed
as soon as the system can be put in
operation, as the War departments de-
cision that there are enough troops in
China leaves the government with
enough steamers to continue the Phil
ippine service.
The transport Logan was scheduled
\ to leave San Francisco on the first of
September for Manila via Honolulu
and should arrive here on the Sth. She
will probably bring mail and stop here
for coal.
The Belgian King is docked at the
| Oceanic wharf, where she will take
coal. On board are women who are
going to serve as nurses in the hospi.
tails in the Philippines and l3 army doe
tors. The steamer left San Francisco
on the 2Sth and came slowly here tax
ing nearly nine days for the trip. She
was here last fall, as horse transport
| The Belgian King will probably leave
tomorrow.
1t is thought that the order for Col
/ Ruhlen to report at Tacoma may be
rescinded in view of the change in the
situation in the far East. There will
! be more work for the quartermaster's
! department here now than at Seattle
, because it is certain that there
will be two or three army steamers a
month for Manila.

TRUTH WAS NOT IN THEM.
Hee She and Tay Moy Settle e.
Quarrel.


Hee She and Tay Moy settled a small
oriental household quarrel in the police
court in true oriental sty!e. After the
testimony was in the judge instructed
the interpreter to convey to them his
opinion that truth did not dwell with
them, but as there was no evidence to
warrant holding anybody the case must
drop.
Tay Moy was on trial for an assault
upon Hee She. Both are young and
stylish Chinese women, with four-inch
feet, beautiful silken garments and hair
that shines with rich oils. Both are
likewise pretty.
Yesterday Hee She poured a pitiful
tale into the ear of Deputy Sheriff
Chillingworth. Tay Moy had struck
her over the head with a leather pillow
and had made a terrible cut, which the
deputy examined before allowing a
warrant. There was blood in her shin
ing black hair.
In the morning it was very different.
The husband of Hee Shee came into
court and it appeared, as Judge Wilcox
observed, that the head of the Hee She
family had issued an edict declaring
that there had been no quarrel.
"'Tay Moy was in the bathroom" said
Hee She, land she threw the pillow al
me and told me to take it to another
room. 1t struck my head because ] did
not catch it, and / went out into the
yard and cried"
The deputy sheriff asked about the
quarrel story and the assault, but Het
She was sure that there had been
nothing the matter. at was my fault
because didn't catch the pillow" she
repeated land when it hit me 1 went
away and cried"
The case was dismissed and Hee She
left the court room with her husband
Tay Moy going along, and all three
quite satisfied with the outcome.
The judge remarked that the Chinese
husband seemed to have instructed lit
tie Hee very well.
