BUT is ALLEGED TO HAVE NOT
PRODUCED.
Kaiaiki Charged with Embezzling
$l41.25 of Church Funds-was in the
Asylum for a Year.

When thieves fall out honest men
come b. their dues but when church
peorle fall out the case either gets into
the newspapers or the courts. In the
present instance it has gotten into both.
Lono kaiaiki was arraigned before
Judge Wilcox this morning to answer
to q charge of embezzlng $l41.25 al
legged to be the property of the Hoo
mana Naauao Church. The defendant
had no attorney. He pleaded not guilty
and waived examination and was COM
mitted to the circuit court for trial.
The case presented some varied fea-
lures. A couple of years ago subscrip-
tion lists were sent out on behalf of the
Hoomana Naauao Church. Kaiaiki
was given one of the lists. He proved
himself to have a talent for soliciting
church subscriptions for he raised $102
For some reason, according to the
statements of the trustees, he failed to
turn over all of the money. The lists
were called in and although the trus-
tees regarded KaiailSi with much salts
faction when they anticipated the big
roll that was to be handed in by him
He produced only 500. This fell so far
short of the expectations that it acted
like lump of ice down the spinal
column of the meeting, Another meet
ing was called and Kaiaiki was asked
for an explanation. He admitted, it is
Sdlu, lHdl ne nau uSeu lne money DuJ
said he would return it. He was also
alleged to have signed a note for the
balance, amounting to $500, payable in
six months.
In the meanwhile Kaiaiki went pupuli
and was committed to the insane asy-
lum where he languished for about a
year This year he was released and
with the keen financial acumen which
had marked his former conduct he re-
sumed the collection of subscriptions
on behalf of the Makua church, a
branch of the other institution. He is
alleged to have secured S45 more.
S. n. Nakua the treasurer swore to
the complaint against Kaiaik yester-
day. Judge Wilcox expressed the OPT
MON In court today that the defendant
was probably more fit subject for an
insanity commission than the court.
Bail was fixed at 5000.

FOREMAN SILVA OF sTocKYARDs
LOSES ALL.
Forgets His Family While Rescueing
Employers Property-Lost Both His
Home and Position.

Joseph Silva, until the fire, employed
as night foreman of the Honolulu Stock
Yards Company, was treated badly by
Fortune on the night of the conhagra-
ton. He has lost his all. His house
hold effects, his clothes with those of
his wife and children and his lares and
penates were all burned up. In addi-
tion he has lost his job.
Silva was instrumental in saving the
lives of good many of the horses when
the fire broke out and indeed, probably
rescued Michael Santos and his family
with some Cinnamon who were living
in cottages adjoining the stables, from
a horrible death.
Silva's own wife and three little chill
dren had a narrow escape; the cottage
that they lived in and all their effects
going up in the general holocaust.
On Silva's attention being drawn to
the glowing hay loft by a helper on the
night of the fire, his prompt action saw
ed what horses and carriages were res
cued from the main buildings. After
telephoning twice to central that the fire
department was needed at once, Silva
succeeded in getting out about thirty of
/ the horses before the rapidly increasing
flames warned him of the danger of his
own family. Hastily running to the
cottage he discovered the maukua end
already on fire, being just in time to get
his ldIllly away III SaIeLy ClOIneQ only
I in their night gear.
In two adjoining cottages dwelled
Michael Santos and some Orientals who
were still asleep when the flames were
scorching the framework of their
houses. With shouts and stones hurled
through the windows Silva managed to
awaken them in time.
| Escorting his family to a place of
safety, Silva then returned to the now
! hopeless task of endeavoring to save
the rigs and horses in the burning
| stable.
| Manager Rice corroborates the ac-
counts of Silvas assistance in saving
the stock, as have others who were
! present at the fire. Silva's desire to
rescue the horses rendered the thoughts
of the peril of his own folks subservient
to the interests of his employers.
AS affairs now stand however Silva
is out of job, has lost all his clothing,
with that of his wife and three children
including all their personal effects, and
may. be regarded asAbeing in decidedly
straitened circumstances.

OUTBREAK DAILY EXPECTED
SMOKE FROM KILAUEA TRAVELS
So MILES.
Reached Hilea Mill on Last Saturday
and Sunday-Purser Simerson of
Mauna Loa Brings News.

Every late report fro m Hawaii
brings fresh indications that the vol
cano will soon break out. BY the Mauna
Loa, which arrived this morning from
the Kona and Kau coasts. news of in
creased activity was received. Purser
Simerson says that the smoke from the
volcano has travelled as far as Hilea
in Kau which is So miles distant from
Kilauea. This is the farthest point
that the smoke has reached since the
last outbreak and it is taken by the
natives as another indication that an
other outbreak will soon occur
Purser Simerson reports that the
smoke made it's first appearance at Hi
lea on Saturday and continued to roll
over during all of Saturday and Sun
day. There had been no signs of a
shower of ashes however.

TWO FIELDS WE'RE DESTROYED
ON WEDNESDAY.
Thought to Have Been Started by Jap
anese Who Threw Sparks Into the
Dry Cane.

According to advices brought yester-
day by the steamer Kauai a very des-
tructive cane fire was started on the
plantation of the Pacific Sugar Mill
Company at Kukuihaele.
The fire started about 230 p. m. We'd
nesday. A Japanese who lives in a
house in a cane field is thought to have
thrown some ashes out among the cane.
The continued drought which has pre-
vailed for the last three months along
the Hamakua coast had caused the
cane to be almost as dry as tinder. The
result was that little breeze soon fan
ned the embers into flame and the en-
tire field was soon ablaze. The fire
spread to an adjoining field.
All of the available men on the plan
tation were put to work fighting the
flames with the result that the fire was
kept down to the two fields. The loss
will be considerable. At the time that
the steamer left it was not known how
many acres of cane had been destroyed

WANT ARItS|AN WELLS
PRESIDENT sLOGGETT TALKS OF
MOLOKAI.
Taro Culture at the Settlement is De-
Lack of Water for Irrigation.

DIR. Henry c. Sloggett, president of
the Board of Health expresses himself
as entirely satisfied with the results of
his late trip to the MOlokai settlement
in company with DR.. Pratt the eXecu
tive officer of the Board.
The trip" said DIR. Slo""ett this
morning was taken as a preliminary
10 tnaC of the regular annual trip. win
view of conserving time ana energy
when that visit takes place. 1t was
my idea that Or. Pratt and myself, by
running up beforehand, could get such
an insiPht into needed reforms that the
Board on the regular trip could split
into committees and visit the different
places at the same time, thus accom-
p4ishing a great deal more work tnan
previous arrangements have produced
AT the meeting of the board next
week, the question of deciding on tho
date for the regular trip of the board
will probably be brought up with the
report of Dr. Pratt and myself. The
tenders for the carrying of frei~ht and
passengers will be opened by that time
and something settled about the mat
ter of transportation.
"One great and important need" con-
tinued DR.. Sloggett, lis the necessity
for an artesian well. Plenty Of water
could be secured and the question o.
self support as far as taro is concerned
will be assured for the settlement.
Superintendent Reynolds has been
working hard in this direction with the
means he has at hand and really de-
serves a great deal of kudos for what
he has done. Fifteen acres of taro are
already under cultivation and a great
deal more land is broken up and only
waiting sufficient water supply to be
productive. Wells have been dug by
the lepers to a depth of thirty feet but
of course they cannot tackle the boring
of a deep well. 1t is astonishing to see
how we'll and cheerfully they work with
their MANNED and crippled hands. They
are paid a small wage for such labor
as they do and seem invariably not
only willing but glad to have something
to do.
"The Board built home, kind of
community house, for those who Were
so i'll or enfeebled that they were un-
able to take care of themselves in the
separate houses. Now they have a
common mess. the nurses of course, are
right with them, and the mutual COM
panionship seems to make the condi-
tions of life much more cheerful for
them
"I heard no complaints, beyond the
regular routine of cranks who imagine
it is about time their relatives have
sent them a box or letter and suspect
the board of having kept it back for
nefarious purposes. The outlook at the
settlement at present is very light IL
we could only get an artesian well"
lard a steamer, doctor?"
"Eh! What's that? Oh YES, and a
steamer of our own, OF course"

KAULIA WAS PAU.
Anti Dole Orator Not on Hand Last
Night.

The meeting of the Home Rule mem
bers last night was marked by some
rather odd circumstances. In the first
place j. X. Kaulia was conspicuous by
his absence. He has always been re-
garded as the intense anti-Dole parti-
san and he was, in fact, the person who
caused the meeting to be "o'led at
which the successor to Governor Dole
was to be appointed. When the meet
ing was called to order Kaulia was not
present. He had said in the afternoon
that he was too tired" to attend. He
was not the only man who had that
tired" feeling before the meeting was
pau.
After John Mahuka, who seems rap
idly coming to the front as a leader
of his race, had offered the famous -
solution setting aside three days for
prayer, the crowd did not seem to take
kindly to the suggestion. Some of those
present laughed. This incensed Mr.
Mahuka and he said all right he would
wait and let any others come forward
with better resolutions if they had
them. The chairman also asked for any
other resolutions.
None were forthcoming so Mr. Ma
huka, remembering the Indifferent re-
ception of his resolution, arose and sai6
that he had a resolution to offer, where
upon he presented the set of resolu-
tions which Beckley had taken to Pre-
sident Mckinley. By the time these
had been read every one in the place
was half asleep or tired to death and
Mahuka had the satisfaction of teach
ing them a lesson not to trifle with him.
Mr.. Mahuka is an announced candi-
date to succeed Governor Dole.

NEW ROUTE TO TANTALUS
WILL BE BUILT AT PRIVATE
EXPENSE.
S. T. Alexander's Offer to Open Up New
Lands and New Driving and Riding
Route Mauka.

A new road to the top of Tantalus Is
proposed. 1t is planned that it shall
start from the Manoa road and reaCh n
Tantalus by the slopes of Sugar Loaf
S. 7. Alexander of Alexander and
Baldwin, who owns a summer lot on
the summit of Tantalus has submitted
a proposition to the government for the
making of road that will connect with
Tantalus starting from the Manoa
road and winding around the top Of
Sugar Loaf
The work will under the supervision
of the superintendent of Public Works
but the whole of the expense will be
borne by Mr.. Alexander. The proposed
road is to be built with a five per cent
grade and will practically follow the
course of the trail that now runs over
the ground.
The Public Works Superintendent J.
II. Boyd and his assistant Marston
Campbell have both expressed them
selves as highly in favor Of the new
thoroughfare, but the whole scheme Is
at present in embryo as the govern
ment has not yet given it's official sane
ton to the offer.
The new road would open up a con-
siderable area of government land and
be of further public benefit in addin~ a
new route for driving and riding.
Mr. AleXander's plan is not to ad-
vance money to the government to
build the road but to built it outright
and dedicate it to the territory for pub
lie use

Ballou and McClanahan, Robertson and
Wilder, and F. w. Hankey.

the court would adjourn the term on
Monday, according to present inten-
tions. He did not think the Kamalo
case could be heard. Magoon stated
that there were very large interests in

The two mates of the bark Sea ing

clients pleading guilty.
Inc men aIe Jonn Douglas and
Charles Albert, first and second mates
The men who accused them is a sailor
named Deer who alleged Inat Douglas
did the beating and Albert helped. Ac-
cording to Albert's story he saw the

fight, but he got 60 days for his ms
Douglas got 80 days. He had an injur-

The release of witnesses resulting
from the pleas of guilty relieves the
OVercTOwding of Oahu Jail, and saves
the government much expense. 1t is
expected that some of the others will
follow suit. There will be no federal
grand jury until November the men
have no money for bail. Douglas will be
a free man now, 2 months before he
would have been heard at all, and AL

alton made in this mornings Advers
tiser, August %, against me.
The article 1 am referring to is that
which represented me as a "Kahuna." ="
I am not a "Kahuna," neither have
any claim to such dignity, although,
the word "Kahuna" in my mother
tongue means doctor" or priest.
If l was "Kahuna" l would have
cleared my way of all rubbish i'm
peding the progress of my efforts. No
contentious and animosities would have
happened last night, as are represented
as happening.
And in regard to a nominee for Gov

The names which were cunningly and
patiently written and published in the
Advertiser, as feeler, 1 suppose, there
is nothing in such stuff.
If you are very anxious to know who

THE RISE IN BoN-,,.
Carter Estate Accounts and Their
Showing.

George r. Carter and j. o. Carter this
morning filed their answer to the criti-
cisms of Henry Smith, as master, of the
accounts in the estate of the late II. A.
p. Carter. Smith objected to the charg-
ing of certain items to the principal,
holding that they should have been
charged to the income In reply the
trustees state that they followed pre-
vious order of the court incidentally.
the reply shows a remarkable jump in
some Hawaiian bonds, between '95 and
99. The reply says:
"On July a. 1900. the trustees, believ-
ing tlat the Federal Government was
about to redeem large amount of the
outstanding Bonds of the Territory,
and that at such time it would be
difficult to secure good investments.
deemed it wise to dispose or certain
bonds that they held and re-invest the
funds under favorable terms while op-
portunity offered.
"A part of the bonds were bought in
1895 at a discount of $40; the remainder
were purchased in 1899 at a premium
of $77.
THUS the bonds stood on the books
of the estate at $3.50 above face value,
and in the account referred to the trus-
tees stated they had charged off this
$3.50 to the principal of the estate. To
this the master takes exception and re-
commends that it should be reversed
and changed to income account"
