A. C.. SChnur Of FinQal Was Drowned
in Spiritwood Lake
Monday.
APititul Cries for Help Startled Pe0-
pie Within Hearing
Distance.
SChnur Was Dead When Found and
CorOner's Jury Says Acct
dental Death.

A. c. Schnur of Fingal, Barnes
County, was drowned in Spiritwood
Lake Monday. He arrived at the lake
at about II O'Clock and after having
his team cared for, went to La
Brasche's boat house where he secured
arrow boat and started alone on the
lake. He turned to the west and
rowed until something about two
hundred yards from Winslow's dock.
He. Flint, L. B. Niemeyer and
Red Gleason were on hill about a
quarter of a mile away when they
heard pitiful cries for help. They
rushed down to their boat and rowed
quickly to the place from whence the
cries came.
But they were too late. An over
turned boat told the sad story. The
body Of Schnur was found in about II
feet of water. He was some distance
from the boat and had evidently made
frantic effort to reach the shore.
Schnur's body was brought to the
shore where it was ascertained beyond
doubt that life was extinct.
Coroner Baldwin and jury consist
ing Of Henry Nierling G. A. Lieber
and Dorman Baldwin, Jr., went out
to the lake Monday evening. An in
quest was held and the jury found
that the deceased had come to his
death by reason Of accidental drown
ing. Some 1920 was found on the
person of the deceased.
A brother of Schnur's arrived from
Valley City. He was greatly shocked
to learn of his brothers death. He
made the statement that his brother
coulds swim and seemed at loss to
understand how the deplorable affair
could have happened.
1t is tie belief of number that
Schnur tipped the boat over in an at
tempt to anchor. The chill waters OF
the lake, his clothing and the sudden
shock prevented him from swimming
and helwas helpless. At this season
of the year the lake is kept very cold
by springs and swimmer unhamper-
ed by clothing would find some diff
Guilty in going any great distance.
Schnur was 81 years of age and had
been resident of Fingal for a num-
Der of years. He has of late been en-
ployed by Griggs Grocery Company OF
St. Paul, firm that makes business
Of selling direct to farmers. He leaves
wife in Fingal but no children.
After the inquest the body Of Schnul
was taken to Wimbledon and from
there shipped on the 500 to Fingal for
burial
A strange feature of the affair is
that no one saw the man meet death.
Although there is always someone in
sight on the lake it just happened
that no one was near. Had help been
at hand the life of Schnur would un-
doubtedly have been saved as indica-
tionsI are that he held up for some
time after the accident occurred
long enough to have been saved.
Although suicide was limited at by
some the evidence seems to be that it
was as the coroner's jury found.
"Anyone who heard Schnur's pitifu]
cries for help" said L. B. Niemeyer,
would not doubt that it was an acci-
dent. shall never forget them.
Notwithstanding the fact that
Spiritwood lake has been popular re.
sort for people for years Schnur is the
first to meet death in it's waters.

Practice Game.

Owing to the high wind Saturday
the base ball game between James
town and Courtenay was merely one
for practice. Courtenay made the
best score. A player who hit the ball
at all was certain of about three bases
and sometimes a home run. The high
wind blew the ball far from where the
tielders thought it would light, and not
a fly was caught. 1t is not believed
that the Courtenay team is any
stronger than last year, while the
reverse is true in the case OF James
town.
A game with Courtenay will be
arranged to take place here May 30,
Decoration Day.
The boys were used well by Courte-
nayites and had good time, notwith-
standing disappointment that the
weather was unfavorable to a real
game.

A BASEBALL CHALLENGE.
Capitol Building Men against Judiciary
Building.

Supreme Court Clerk Lucas this
morning received a baseball challenge
1t was from the Capitol Building Base
ball Club" whose members are govern
ment employees in the Capitol building,
and it challenged the clerks of the
Judiciary and Kakuawa buildings to a
game of baseball.
Early this morning the Capitol build
ing men were out in front of the build
ing doing some good practice until they
were stopped, as being in the way. AS
soon as Lucas received the challenge he
understood the reason for the early
morning activity, and he showed the
letter to Thompson and Kelet. Both
were anxious to take up the def. They
vowed that they and their associates
could do up the Capitol building crowd
without any practice and told Lucas to
send letter back at once, telling man
ager 7, F. Cummings of the Capitol
building team. that the court clerks
were ready and only had one worry,
and that was that the game would not
begin soon enough for them.

MUST SEEK A NEW BUILDING
SITE.
Bishop Estate Wants It's Present Loca-
ton for Wharf Site Leading to the
Honolulu Iron Works.

meeting of the members of the
Myrtle Boat Club has been called for
next Monday evening at 1880 o'clock.
Some matters of business of the high
est importance are to be considered.
Perhaps the most important matter
is the question of a new site for the
club house. The club house is built on
land belonging to the Bishop Estate,
and the Bishop Estate has given it no.
tice that the club house must be moved
from it's present location by October 1.
The reason for this notice is that the
Bishop Estate which owns a large part
of the adjoining Kakaako, intends to
build a wharf out from the Kakaako
property reaching deep water just
about where the Myrtle club House
stands.
The club some time ago made a re-
quest of the United States to be per-
mitted to locate it's club house on the
Waikiki side of the channel, makai of
the Healani club and the quarantine
wharf, The United States has not yet
returned a favorable answer and it l.
thought that it is very unlikely to do
so. Hence there ia very little hope of
relief in this direction.
Negotiations are now pending with
Sorenson & Lyle for a site about where
! Mrs, RESTS boat house is. This is on
Bishop Estate property leased by So
renson & Lyle, the lease having about
fifteen years yet to run. 1t is hoped
that a suitable arrangement can be
made in this respect.
The cost of moving the club house
even the short distance contemplated
in the present negotiations will be
about $4,000
1t is said that the proposed wharf to
be built out from Kakaako over the
| Bishop Estate lands will be largely for
the benefit of the Honolulu Iron Works
which by this means will be brought
right to the waters edge so far as re-
| ceiving and shipping freight is con-
! cerned. either by island or deep sea
vessels.

ADJOURNMENT IS aOCkID
REPUBLICANS BOLT SENATE IN
A BODY.
Move Was to Prevent Adjournment
Sine Die-Cooper Forwards Coffee
Resolution-House Notice.

There was another surprise party in
the Senate this morning, and it came up
right at the beginning. Yesterday 1t
was understood that the Home Rulers
would not show up this morning. In
some quarters it was stated that the
Republicans would not put in an ap-
pearance. The result was that both
sides of the house showed up, only
Crabbe being absent. Even Kanuha,
who said he would not appear again,
was there.
Governor Cooper submitted a letter
to the clerk in which he stated that
he had signed Senate resolution No. 2,
relating to coffee, and had transmitted
the same to the proper authorities at
Washington.
A notice from the House stating that
that body was ready to adjourn sine
die was read.
Senator White moved to adjourn sine
die.
Cecil Brown and Carter left the
chamber. They met Crabbe outside and
held him up. This left the Senate with
only seven members, which is one les
than a quorum. Kanuha contended
that the Senate could adjourn sine die
without a quorum. Achi differed from
this view.
This brought matters to standstill,
the President appearing not to know
what to do Cecil Brown and Crabbe
stopped downstairs and awaited de-
velopments Carter skipped out alto
gether and came down town. The SER
geant-at-arms ordered Brown and
Crabbe to return but they did not obey.
They went to the turn in the driveway
toward the gate and sent for Paris and
Achi These Senators appeared, and
after consultation the party continued
on into town. Senators White Kala-
uokalani, Kahilina, Kanuha and Kaiue
were the only ones remaining. An in
formal recess was taken by them to see
If the Republicans would not return.
The game of the Republicans was to
prevent an adjournment sine die. They
contended that less than a majority
could adjourn from day to day but that
it took a majority to adjourn sine die.
After a wait of a half hour President
Kaiue took the chair again and ad-
journment was taken to 2 p. m. We'd
nesday.

THE PUBLIC Playground
BOYS BRIGADE PLANS TO BE
REALIZED.
Lease Secured of two Tracts Near Kau-
lawela School-One is School Property
The Other Bishop Estate Land.

The plans of the Boys Brigade for
great public playground seem about to
be realized. A suitable site has been
secured near the Kaulawela school on
School street, Eva of the bridge. A
part of the site is school property and
a part belongs to the Bishop Estate.
Theodore Richards and ]. =. Cooke on
behalf of the Brigade and Superin-
tendent A. T. Atkinson on behalf of
the Board of Education went to look
over the site this morning to make the
final arrangements for carrying out the
propOsd plans.
The part of the land to be used which
belongs to the Board of Education is a
piece of rice land adjoining the Kaula-
wela school. The lease of it as rice
land expired a short time ago and as a
part of it was needed for school pur-
poses the lease was not renewed. A
part of this land will be added to the
Kaulawela school premises for the pur-
pose of carrying on and conducting the
agricultural department and instruction
in Agriculture which is to be added to
that school,
The remainder of it is leased for five
years at nominal rental to the Boys
Brigade. The Brigade undertakes at its
own expense and with its own labor to
level off the land and put it in shape
for a play ground. Attached to it is a
piece of nearly the same size belonging
been acquired by the Brigade for the
same purpose.
On these two tracts turned into one
for this purpose, it is proposed to create
a great public playground under the
direction of the Boys Brigade, but
practically open to every boy in the
city. The land will be leveled off.
Lawns will be created for such games
as lawns are suitable for. Cinder tracks
will be made where necessary. A gym
nasium will be provided and suitable
arrangements will be made to provide
facilities for gymnasium, field and track
athletics and pastimes. In short it is
intended to make it a great public play
ground, an ideal the Boys Brigade has
had in hope for some time.
1t is part of the agreement with the
Board of Education that the school
children of Kaulawela school shall have
the use of these grounds as Fairgrounds
during the recreation periods of schoo
hours. 1t is also agreed that whenever
the grounds are being used by the Boys
Brigade there shall be some person oi
discretion present to see that no dam
age is done to school property.
Negotiations for this arrangement
have been in progress for some time
The lease offered by the Board of Edu.
cation has been accepted by Theodore
Richards on behalf of the Brigade.

Pahia, on being ordered to cancel the
deed he had secured. refused to do so
and was also ordered into custody for
contempt, to remain in Jail until he

The trouble over Malamas estate
began last week, when Judge Gear, in
hearing last week. when Judge Gear. in
guardian Hamio, found that some land
belonging to Malama who is a young
girl of Is, had been sold, under advice
/ of Poepoe, to Pahia, while she was still
under guardianship. The land is at
! Koolau, and is said to be worth over
$1,000. 1t was sold to Pahia for $3.50
The Court gave Poepoe a severe grill
/ ing for allowing the transaction, while
the owner of the land was under guar
dianship and, as it appeared that Poe
poe had got the money that was paid
over, he was ordered to pay it into
| court summarily. After two continu-
ances PoepOe failed to show up this
morning and this was the reason of
/ his punishment for contempt.
Pahia took the stand this morning
and told his story of the transaction.
/ He declared that Poepoe had offered

from PoepOe. Pahia, who wants the
land, refused to do so, and was at
once ordered into custody for CON
temut The court ordered him held un-
til he obeys the order to re-transfer the

The testimony showed that Poepoe
had taken the money paid for the land
after negotiating the sale to Pahia
and he appeared to have spent it. H,

that he had the money, but he did no
produce it as ordered the next day

PECULIAR RUNAWAY ACCIDENT
Horse Drags Wagon over Fence Yes
terday Afternoon.

A peculiar runaway accident occurred
yesterday afternoon on Polk Lane off
School street. One of the horses uraw-
ing a Union Express wagon took fright
on School street and dashed down Polk
Lane. The animal turned and ran
across a front lawn through the yard
between houses which stood close to-
gether and then leaped a fence about
five feet in height.
Bevond the fence was a stone wall
about six feet high and toward this
dashed the horse still drawing the wa
gon which had not been broken loose
when it struck the fence. This stone
work is a retaining wall which over
looks a little stream. Without stopping
an instant the horse sprang over this
wall and tumbled down into the stream
a distance of ten feet. The animal was
not badly injured however and was
soon captured.
