Need for Dredg.
ing Out the
Harbor.

~ 'rH the .l prospect ssa., of 1,- the great
coming to Honolulu en- route to
the Orient the latter part of this year,
to be followed by her sister ship, the
Siberia, comes the problem of what to
do with these monster vessels when
they attempt to enter the harbor Some
of the deep draught vessels already ex-
neuvering The entire harbor needs
dredging out but there is little prospect
for this being done soon either by the
Territorial Government or the Federal
Government. The recent Legislature
appropriated $4,000 to be used in the
next two years in deepening the harbor
and clearing all approaches to the Gov
eminent wharves, but there is small
Likelihood that the Department of Pub
tic Works will be able to lay it's hands
on SO, 900 for each of the two years to
accomplish this much-needed improve
ment. The Federal Government has no
appropriation 4ShateYer for Honolulu
harbor and therefore that portion OF IL
under Federal control will receive no
dredgings The Territorial Government
owns the majority of the wharves in
the harbor, and 1t is also responsible
for the proper depth being maintained
in the haybor twenty feet seward from
the docks. Beyond this distance the
Federal authorities have its care. When
the Oahu Railway Company built its
wharves the private dredger used by
that company was compelled not only
to dredge out the slips but also hum
dred feet into the harbor removing a
number of mudbanks over which yes
sells drawing sixteen or seventeen feet
could not possibly have cleared. A
channel was cut through this mass OF
debris and it is often a case of slide,
Kelly slide" when a heavily laden
vessel is to moor alongside the railway
wharves. Not only does the harboI
need dredging out but the wharves
/ themselves are in need of repairs. Su-
| perintendent Boyd of the Public Works
/ Department states he is anxious tc
make the improvements in the harboi
and TO the wharves but he lacks the
| hard cash

big game was in progress. Within

mer OF the district court yesterday
reprimardet, Rev. RAIDER, pastor of
Grace Methodist church; Rev. Tai
mage, state superintendent of the An
ti-Saloon league, and Secretary Wyn-
koop of the Christian Endeavor So
ciety, who We're charged with con-
tempt of court, and discharged them.
In the course OF his remarks CON
cerning the two cases Judge Palmer
said that certain OF the clergy through
out the whole country, through
tendency to stray from beaten paths
in search of something sensational,
have weakened the cause of Christian
ity. He did not know whether the
old way was distasteful to them or
they found it necessary to enter for
elgn fields in order to attract people
whom they thought might be inter-
ested and thus perchance preserve for
themselves an easy existence. He
said he proposed to exercise for the
edification of Messrs. RAIDER end Tai
mage, who, he said, were deserving
of severer punishment, the Christian
virtue, forbearance, and although
they were held guilty of contempt, he
would discharge them with the under
standing that the remarks directed to
them should be considered in the ma
ture of reprimand.

REPORT OF CHIEF wlLME.
Only Four New counterfeits Placed In
Circulation Last Year.

Washington, July 2.-The annual re-
port OF Chief Willlie of the secret
service division, treasury department,
submitted to Secretary Gage yester-
day states that during the IL months
ending June 80, 1901, there were
placed in circulation but four new
counterfeit notes, against an average
of about ten for each year during the
preceding ten years. Only one of
these new notes was at all dangerous,
the others being the product of un-
skilled workmanship. The total
amount of counterfeit currency which
came into the possession of the divis-
ion during the year amounted to $780,
O56, while s1S,117 in counterfeit coin
was confiscated. Coin counterfeiting
decreased all over the country, ex-
cept in New York and vicinity where
there has been a gradual increase in
this class of crime, particularly in
cases where genuine silver forms the
basis Of the limitations. The arrests
for II months show total of 594.

His Recovery Were Considered Fa-

Aberdeen, S. D., July 2.-Senator
Kyle died yesterday afternoon at 6:05.
Senator Kyle was stricken at his
home at Aberdeen about ten days ago.
His trouble was OF malarial origin and
resulted in functional affection of
the heart, which caused the greatest
alarm. A consultation of physicians
was held and his case soon took a
turn for the better, the heart action
growing stronger and the general con-
dition much more encouraging. One
of the latest bulletins from his bedside
last week was to the effect that he
had passed the danger point and that
his recovery would be certain, though
SLOW
The senator had similar attack
in the east some time ago, and was
liable to recurrence of the trouble.
His health has not been robust for 6
year or so. His relapse was not ex-
pected, however.
His wife is prostrated and is incon-
solate. They have two children, a
daughter, Ethelyn, about Is, and q
baby boy. The city is in mourning
over the great loss that has fallen on
it. Senator Kyle was highly es-
teemed and by his death Aberdeen
loses friend who cannot be replaced.

arrive and the managers asked the
preacher who had invoked the divine

theme was briefly this: The con

republic; it has destroyed all free gov
ernments where it has prevailed, ant

this; therefore the farmers and other
laborers must act together and devise

KILLS HIS NEIGHBoRs.

His Son Clarence.

His Son Clarence.
Dayton, Ia. June 29.-As a result of
a bitter neighborhood feud, G. D. Guild
and his 19-year-old son Clarence lie
dead riddled with charges fired from a
shotgun. The man who did the fatal
shooting is Oliver Bricker, one of a
family of neighbors to the Guilds. The
shooting was committed yesterday aft
ernOon.
Stories of how the shooting oc-
Cured vary. Bricker's story is that he
he met Guild and son. Guild pulled a
revolver and began firing. Bricker
was hit three times, on the lip, on the
forehead and in the arm. All his
wounds are slight, The last shot, he
claims, was fired by the boy, Bricker
having knocked revolver from
Guilds hand. When Bricker got
through the fence he says that his
brother George met him and handed
him shotgun. He fired one barrel at
the boy, who held the revolver The
boy fell and as the father sprang to
pick up the revolver Bricker shot and
killed him.
A different story is told by Charlie
Guild, 16 years old. son of the dead
man, who claims he was an eye-wit-
ness OF the shooting. The boy says
Oliver Bricker opened fire first with
revolver and that George Bricker
did the fatal shooting with a shotgun.
Both Brickers were arrested. Oliver
Bricker was placed under $4,000
and George Bricker under $4,000.
Both bodies lay in lane only a
few hundred yards from Guilds home,
Mrs. Guild heard the shooting and
rushed to the spot, only to come upon
the bodies of her son and husband.
She carefully took off the apron which
she wore and wrapped it about her
dead husbands head. She was later
taken home in a dazed condition and
now lies in serious state from nerv-
Gus shock.
Bad blood has existed between the
families for months, brought on orig
inally by a disagreement over land.
