SECOND MATE FELL DEAD.HEALTH BOARD IS SUED
SCHOONER ERIC LOSES MEMBER
OF CREW.
Arthur Sewall Comes from Yokohama
With Her Royal Mast Missing-Will
Be Repaired dhere-Rosamond.

The schooner Eric entered the harbor
this morning with her flag at half mast
She makes the third vessel which has
lost a member of her crew on her voy-
age to this port The second mate was
the seaman who died but was not lost
in a storm as were the men on the
Olympic and Henry Willard.
The deceased was named James
Brooks and he was a native of Mary
land. While working yesterday morn
ing, pulling on a rope, he suddenly
dropped to the deck of the vessel. His
shipmates hurried to his side but he
never regained consciousness. Heart
disease probably caused death. The
body was brought to this port and Civ
en- to an undertaken who will superin-
tend the burial.
The Eric brings fertlliz to this place.
She is 40 days from Caleta Buena, a
small cove on the northern part Of
Chilli. She will receive orders here. 1t
is expected she will go to San Fran
cisco.
The finest and biggest snip which has
visited this port in a long time docked
at the old fish market wharf this morn
ing. She is the four masted vessel Ar
thur Sewall % days from Yokohama.
She remained off the harbor last night.
The vessel is in ballast and called here
for orders. She came in with her royal
mast missing On the trip across the
Atlantic squaH struck the ship and
carried away the topgallant and royal
masts. Captain Godfrey rugged up an
improvised stick TO enable him to COM
plete the trip.
At Yokohama he found the price OF
material so high that he declined to
purchase a new mast and decided to
wait until he could reach an American
port. On the trip across the Pacific a
squall struck the boat and carried away
the royal mast. He will get a new
stick here.
Contrary to the announcement, the
schooner Rosamond did not sail this
morning but departed in the afternoon

aboard her the best known being Fred
O'Brien, formerly city editor of the
Advertiser He is returning with his
wife to San Francisco Mr.. O'Brien is
capable newspaperman and his re-
tirement from the local field will be a
distinct loss to the profession in Homo
lulu. His wife has done much worl,

THE sHRINERs, RALL.

The great Shriners' ball will take
place in the drill shed this evening. All
day decorators have been at work on
the hall and this afternoon 1t is truly
a thing of beauty. The floor is as near
perfect as could be expected consider

large enough to accommodate the hun
dreds that have been invited, but every
thing imaginable has been done Ia

CHINAMAN WANTS CASH FOR
BAD TARO.
Interesting Sequel to Awful Blunder in
Molokai Paiai Contract-Claim For
S9l5.

The Board of Health's Molokai poi
contract seems to have as many de-
Velopments as there are legs on CENTS
pede. First a native was given a con-
tract without any bond. He fell over,
and the Board found itself like a milch
COW in a grassless pasture. There were
numerous incidents after that I'm re-
gard to the matter. The people OF Ka-
laupapa and Kalawao had no poi and
were actually in distress Some paste
was made of flour and fed to them, and
supply of good rice was sent up.
The last development in this very in
teresting matter brings in Mr. Wah
Fang, a prominent, though not very
well known citizen of pauoa valley.
After the trouble the Board of Health
let a contract to feed LOO to Mr.. Wah
Pang, of Pauao valley. Mr.. Wah pang
was to send to Molokai 900 bags of 105
pounds each of tarO every week Be
tween the first and eighteenth of Fe-
bruary he landed 500 bags there Out
of this large number something like
eighty bags We're accepted and the bal
ance We're declared diseased and were
rejected
That was the cause Of the second taro
famine at the settlement i'm the course
OF two or three months
Now Comes Mr.. Wah Pang of Pauoa
valley The Board of Health has not
paid him for his rejected taro and
does not purpose doing SO. lie sues for
its value. Deputy Sheriff Albert Nc

IN OLD SUIT IS REVIVED
CHINESE SOCIETY AGAIN AFTER
GNAU CHONG.
Defendant Insists on Squatting in Be
retania Street in Front of Plaintiffs
club House.

The Ket On Fui Society has begun
suit against Gnau Chong for an injunc-
ton TO prevent the defendant from
erecting a building on Beretania street
near River in front of the society $
property. The papers are being serVeC
this afternoon.
This matter was up once before.
About two years ago the society be-
gan a suit against Gnau Chong about
the same thing. The defendant had at
that time put up a building in front
of the society's home. The society
claimed that it was on the line of Bere-
ania street and that the defendant was
encroaching upon the thoroughfare and
was also shutting it out from its right
full frontage. Before the case came
to court the great fire occurred and
both buildings were wiped off the map.
Gnau Chong has again started to build
on the same site, hence the new suit
Hackfeld & Company have entered
suit against Grossman Bros. to fore
! close a mortgage on certain coffee
lands in Olaa to recover the sum OF
$3.50, alleged to be due for supplies
furnished some years ago. The suit

WIRELESS TELEGRAPHERs.

AT a meeting of the wireless telegraph
company yesterday afternoon Il. ].
Cross was elected president to succeed
w. r.. Castle, resigned. c. J, Hutchins
was elected vice-president in place of
Mr.. Cross. The scheme to reduce the
capital stock was abandoned.
IT was announced at the meeting that
the line through to Hawaii would be
opened today and that messages for
Hilo would be received this morning.
The City of Hilo will be made the dis
tributing point or central station for
the big island.
An estimate of receipts for the past
two weeks showed that the Maui line
alone was about paying the expenses
of the whole system. This was the
principal reason that the capital wai
not reduced.

Naval slip No. is practically COM
pleted and all that remains Is the Ofti-
cial survey before the work will be ac-
cepted by the government. The survey
is now practically finished. The gov
ernment officials express themselves as
being highly satisfied with the manner
i'm which Andrew McNally the superin-
tendent of the California Construction
Company has had the work done. The
dredging under Mr.. McNaily has been
performed far better than the govern
ment officials anticipated or even had
the right TO expect.
The contract calls for the slip to be
dredged to a depth Of 2S feet and 6
inches at mean low water. Mr.. Nc
Nally decided that he would be sure the
terms of the contract were observed so
instead Of merely digging with the
dredger as had been done In cleaning
out slip No l. he used powder and blast
ed the bottom to more than the requir-
ed depth The result is that while the
blasting has cost considerable, the
work has been well done and there will
probably be no necessity for cleaning
up any portions of the slip because of
there not being dredged 10 a sufficient
depth.
The slip is now considerably deeper
than the deepest portion of the channel.
The chanue, is not over 80 feet az mean
tow water while the slip runs from 30
TO 50 feet inches. This is from a foot
and q half 90 three feet and a half
deeper than is required by the contract.
The advantage Of digging the extra
amount is shown by comparison with
Naval slip No. a survey of this
slip disclosed the fact that there were
patches and spots at various intervals
where a depth of only 26 feet and even
p feet had been reached The worst
feature Of this was that the biggest
I 10 a be pf ba
slip.
Mr.. McNally will bring his dredger
into slip No. 1 this week and get the
bottom to the proper depth. The gov
ernment civil engineer Of the naval sta
tion is now surveying the other slip
which is finished and if the depth con-
tinues as 1t has done for over one half
I of the distance the contract will he ac-
cepted without any further work by the
dredger

PATENT ON "OKOLEHAO, /"

Harry E. Murray, who applied to the
Territorial government for a patent on
the word "Okolehao" thinks he knows
what he was talking about and that he
is entitled to all he has asked. He
points out that certain liquors are re-
cognized and authorized by the revenue
department, Okolehao although of a
high standard and manufactured in
American territory, is not one of them.
The promoter of the patent idea wishes
TO secure for the liquor a proper recog-
milton. Mr. Murray calculates in case
of failure to sure a patent here to take
the matter before the government at
Washington.

the House not only concurred in the
amendment but amended it again. The
amendment changed the time of the
effect of the bill from it's approval tC
the date of its publication. There wa:
an attack on the bill, first, on the
ground that the House has no right t.
amend after it had passed its thirC

wrong for the reason that publication

AssAULT AMI RATTERY.

William Young was arrested this af-
ternoon and charged with assault and
battery. A. Gonsalves, the hack driver,
is the complainant. Gonsalves claims
that he received a call for a hack
to Dowsett Lane Monday night. He
answered 1t but saw no one at the
place designated. Within a few min
utes Mrs. William Young came up and
Gonsalves inquired of her If she knew
who had summonded him. Suddenly
Young, so Gonsalves claimed, sprang
from the darkness and struck him
over the head with stick of wood,
knocking the hackdriver down. Young
struck Gonsalves several times, he
says. 1t is claimed that Young has
threatened to 'do up" Gonsalves. The
trouble, arose, 1t is stated, over Young s
jealousy of his wife and Gonsalves who
was suitor OF the young woman be-
fore she married Young.

CATTLE CAUSE PILIKIA.

A number of bullocks were taken
aboard the Austrian training ship Do
rau yesterday as it was desired to car
ry the stock along and kill it for fresh
beef when required on the trip to
Nagasaki. Unfortunately some of the
cattle got loose and began to fight
among themselves and attack the sail
ors. While the men on the Donau can
reef a sail in the stiffest kind of blow
they are amateurs when IT comes to
handling a savage plunging bullock.
The result was that several of the
cattle were gored to death and others
had to be shot by the sailors.
