SHOOTS HIS
BENEFACTOR
AND FLEES
Sailor MasnusseR
Tries to XIII
Native.
FLED AFTER He
WAS DlSARMED
Seaman Now in Jail Under Serious
Charge and Victim in
Hospital.

After spending night in the house
of Keaupuni, a Hawaiian living near
the brickyard in Nuuanu valley, Jack
Magnussen, sailor from the bark
Rithet, yesterday paid for the hospi-
tality by sending bullet into Keau-
puni's right shoulder Keaupuni is now
in the Queens Hospital undergoing
treatment, and Magnussen occupies a
cell at the police station charged with
assault with deadly weapon with
intent to commit murder.
On Saturday evening Magnussen,
accompanied by a shipmate, r. Hollger
by name, went up the valley, and both
were invited to partake of potluck
with Keaupuni and his family They
became friendly party and the sailors
were allowed to remain overnight in
the house. Yesterday forenoon Mag
nussen engaged in an alteration with
Keaupuni, the affair attracting the
neighbors. Magnussen suddenly reach
ed into his hip pocket, drew 32-cali-
bre revolver of the Hopkins & Allen
make, and fired at close range at the
Hawaiian. The bullet entered Keaupu-
mis- breast on the right side below the
shoulder. Despite the wound and its
dangerous locality, Keaupuni retained
his nerve, the flow of blood being
slight He closed with Magnussen and,
others fastening to assist him, the
sailor was disarmed.
Finding himself without gun the
murderous sailor fed, with a couple of
natives in pursuit. Owing to the tel
ephone wires still being disconnected
with the central Office, no word could
be given to the police to head him Off,
and two Hawaiians started down the
valley on long run to the police sta
tion, where they arrived painting and
almost exhausted. The patrol wagon
was sent up the valley where Keau-
puni was taken5 in.
Hollger had been held by the natives
when his shipmate fed, and he was
conveyed a prisoner to the station.
The wounded man told his story ald
was then taken to the hospital for
treatment. Hollger denied knowing
his companions name, but when
threatened with Imprisonment until
Magnussen was found, he decided TO
assist the police in the search. He and
Captain Kanae met Magnussen on Nu-
anu street, between Merchant and King
streets, while he was fastening toward
the waterfront to regain his ship. His
shirt was splotched with blood, and he
was compelled to remove ii as evidence
to be presented against him at the
trial.
Keaupuni's wound is peculiar. Search
for the bullet yesterday at the hospital
with the X-ray failed to show where
it had lodged 1t seems to have gone
into the fleshy part of the body. The
natives condition is not serious, al
though the full extent of his injury
will not be known until the probe has
been used.

JUDGE LITTLE STOPPED WORK
ON AN AMERICAN HOLIDAY
Knocked Off fiiIo Laborers on THANKSGIVING,
Who Needed the Money, Because Mckinley
and Roosevelt Had Told Him to Americanize
the Islands.

HILO, November 27-Judge Little
is working vigorously at his task of
Thanksgiving day he accomplished a
good deal A Portuguese contractor
who has the contract for the grading
straits for the reason that the time for
the completion of his work is long past
due. Taking advantage of the Holi-
day, when there would be little or no
traffic to disturb him, he got such of
his men as were willing to make In
extra wage to fire up the steam roller
and the top dressing was settling un-
der its generous impact, without regard
to the Presidents proclamation, when
the judge gave them their lesson in
Americanism. In company with Cap
tain Lake of the police force, the jurist
of the Fourth Circuit made the rounds
of the streets and knocked off all men
who were at work.
1t was of no consequence that the
men were anxious to work and that the
contractors were willing TO pay them,
the word of the Judge is law and the
presence of the police means calaboose.
So the fire was pulled out of the steam
roller and the men went their several

ways to be thankful that even if they
are goaded on to work on a holiday by
the hope of extra wages, they are now
living in a country where they may
be set right.
The contractor, however, made COM
plant to Engineer Gere of the Public
Works Department, who called on the
judge with as much remonstrance as
is permitted in the Fourth Circuit. He
explained to His Honor that the men
needed the money and wanted to
work; that the contract was past due
and the contractor is in bad way.
NO said the judge, there are only
two American Holidays. One is the
Fourth of July and the other is
Thanksgiving. President Mckinley
and President Roosevelt have both
spoken to me personally about doing
all l can to Americanize the Islands.
and it is my duty. If the men
want to catch up with the work
or run the roller when there is
no traffic, why don't they go to the
sheriff and get a permit to work on
Sunday. No. I can't let the men work
on an American holiday"
Under the directions of the judge the
police were sent out in various direc-
tions and all work stopped.

the program at the entertainment

The Dramatic Club furnished the
characters for eight tableaux which
represented in faithful detail as to cos
tuning and local color scenes from the
history of the country. The queen and
her retainers and the dances given be-
fore the court were reproduced as they
were in the old days. In addition
there were a number of dances which
are all but forgotten. such as the drum
dance, the iii dance and the pull dance

Dismissal.
Official Answers Questions Based Upon the
Charges Made in the Message of
the Governor.

At the formal hearing of Auditor
Austin before the Senate investigating
committee, consisting of Senators Isen-
berg, McCandless- and Kalauokalani,
the proceedings were opened by dis
cussion, participated in by Mr. Austin,
as to whether counsel should be pres
ent 1t was decided adversely and Mi.
Cathcart. who sat with the committee,
retired. Following are extracts from
the testimony:
Palace Building. Monday, Nov "a, 1902
Attorney Generals Room, p. m.
Meeting. of the senatorial committee,
appointed by the Senate to investigate
the affairs of the Auditor Generals
Department.
Present: Senators D. P. r. Isenberg
(Chairman), L. L. McCandless, and D.
Kalauokalani.
Also: Deputy Attorney General Cath
cart, H. c. Austin (Auditor Genera1, j.
r. Bush, Hawaiian interpreter; and p.
Maurice Mcmahon, shorthand reporter.
The Chairman: Mr.. Austin, the Com
inittee of the Senate have asked you
to come here today to talk over the
charges made against you by the Gov
ernor, and to give you hearing in this
matter.
Mr.. Austin: Before you proceed, Mr..
Isenberg, is it the intention of the Com
1nittee to call witnesses and have them
examined?
The Chairman: Examined by the Sem
ate Committee.
Mr.. Austin: Then / would request
that 1 be represented by counsel in the
matter. If there was chance for cross
examination of witnesses, 1 would pre-
fer to be represented by counsel, if
there is counsel on the other side.
Mr.. Cathcart: I am a disinterested
party, unless the Committee should call
upon me for anything. The Committee
will conduct their investigation, and
would prefer to retire if they will per-
NIT me, and leave the matter in their
hands.
The Chairman: We are no court, Mr..
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1902-12-01

Austin; simply Committee of the SEN
ate to investigate this matter; and of
course some things perhaps we will
have to refer to counsel, but do not
wish to make this a proceeding of
court. as we do not have that intention;
the intention of the Senate Committee
is to have you before us and give you
a fair trial, and find out what we can.
OF course we have asked the Deputy
Attorney General to be present in re-
gard to certain matters that perhaps
he knows, but as far as counsel is con-
cerned, counsel has nothing to do with
the proceedings.
Mr.. Austin: If it was in the nature
of q. court of trial, 1 expected that
might be the mode of procedure, and
that is the reason 1 asked to be repre-
sented by counsel. OF course 1 do not
claim any legal knowledge to cross ex-
anime witnesses correctly, and to place
my case before you as we'll as counsel
could. Still, if you are not going to
have regular trial, represented by an
attorney on the other side, 1 leave my
self in the hands of the Committee.
Mr.. McCandless: My idea would be
to Set Mr.. Austin's statement, also the
statements from the other parties.
Mr.. Cathcart: Maybe it would be bet
ter, gentlemen, that / retire. I do not
want to appear as counsel against Mr.
Austin, as it is not a trial, and there
is no necessity for it. l have of course
g. perfect right to give the names of the
witnesses to the Committee, and they
can examine them just as well.

very fair, Mr.. Cathcart. If we need
you We will ask for you.
(Mr. Cathcart retires from the room.)
THE FIRST CHARGE.
The Chairman: Now, the first charge
against you is that in the latter part
of August, 1902, you applied to c. F,
Chillingworth, Deputy High Sheriff of
said Territory, to loan you for your
personal use the sum of $3.50 Of the pub
lie funds collected as fines and costs
by the SAID Chillingworth in his official
capacity aforesaid. We would like to

GEAR WANTS
TO BE THE
TREASURER

a. V. Gear wants to be Treasurer of
the Territory of Hawaii. The formal
application of the former leader of the
Fourth precinct is in the hands of the
executive and, with the many others
who have suggested their fitness for
place, this candidate will receive due
consideration.
The application went direct to Gov
eronr Dole, without any notification to
the Republican central committee, or
request to the body for endorsement
In fact, the men who managed the last
campaign first heard of the ambition of
the former leader when~tfe Governor
submitted to them for their consider
alton the entire list of applicants for
the various offices in the executive
branch.
There was feeling at once that the
action of the former politician was
quite in contradiction to his former
attitude when in power Then he in
sisted strenuously that the committee
should have the consideration OF all
the applications, and that the Governor
should be heartily and freely con-
demned for not taking the men chosen
for him by the governing body.
The fact that Mr.. Gear has not taken
any hand in the past campaign, coup
led with his earnest and sacrificing
support of the Governor at all times
and under all conditions, is taken as
the reason for presenting his applica-
! tion direct, and attempting to thrust
his fight for the place upon the Exec
utive instead of upon the applicant
There is some talk of the central
committee appointing sub-body to in
vestigate thoroughly the applicant,
with particular reference to the brand
of nerve food used, or the method of
preparing his veal The committee
has not yet taken a vote upon the
matter of the endorsement of Gear for
the Treasurership.

FAMOUS
COMPOSER
COMING

Throw out the lifeline across the
dark wave,
There is a. brother whom some one
should save.
Rev. E. S. Ufford, author of Throw
Out the Lifeline" one of the most
touching and celebrated hymns in the
English language, is making a tour of
! the world, his mission being to sing
his famous hymn wherever there are
persons to hear IT, He will probably
arrive in Honolulu the second week in
December and remain during the
Christmas holidays. That the author
looks forward to his visit in Honolulu
is apparent from the statement of his
plans, in which he says.
In few weeks l expect to be in
Honolulu, where there is Union
Church, whose pastor has had the song
translated into the Hawaiian dialect.
| will sing the song to the natives in
my own tongue and they will sing it
for me in theirs"
The late Rev. DR.. Hyde translated
the song into Hawaiian, and it is founa
in all the latest Hawaiian hymn books.
When Rev. DR.. Ufford returns to his
little parsonage at Holyoke, Mass, he
will have visited Hawaii, Japan, China,
India, Egypt, Palestine, Italy, France,
Germany and England, everywhere
singing his song, accompanying him
, self on an organ which he carries in
his trunk. He started from Holyoke
with $10.11 in his pocket and by faith
and unsolicited contributions has tray
elled successfully. In each place, be-
fore singing the hymn, he tells how it
came to be written and explains the
workings of the United States life-sav-
ing service, whence came his inspir-
alton.
Mr. Ufford was born in Newark, N
j. in 1851. At the age of 81 he was
/, converted to Christian life, and at
once began to hold open-air meetings
on the sands at Bridgeport, Conn, for
the benefit of sailors and fishermen.
Many a poor jack he converted from
his sin and dissipation to an upright
and prosperous life. In 1879 he was
ordained a pastor in the Baptist
Church and has since preached in the
towns around Boston. The hymn that
has made him famous was written and
first sung in the parsonage at Dedham,
from where it has echoed around he
world.

know what you have to say in the
matter.
Mr.. Austin: I do not know what Mr.
Chillingworth has said. 1 do not re-
member the date, but in the latter part
of August I did apply to him for a per-
sonal loan, I think in the neighborhood
of two hundred and fifty dollars; and
if he received any impression that
expected it from the fines and costs
it was not in accordance with my in
tention. 1 had no intention of asking
him for loan from the public funds
of fines and costs; it was merely per-
sonal loan. He said he didn't have it,
@. Did you on the second day of Sep
tember renew the same thing?
A. I do not know If it was on the
Cd of September; 1 think it is twice
asked him for a personal loan.
0. What was the conversation be-
tween you and Mr.. Chillingworth?
A. / asked him if he had money to
loan; and he said he did not have any
at the time, as near as 1 recollect 1t,
that all his moneys were in use, and he
had no funds to loan. 1 asked him if
he had turned in his fines and costs to
Mr. Dow, the head clerk of the Depart
ment, and he said he had. That is all
the conversation 1 remember in rela-
ton to that.
hundred and fifty dollars from Mr..
Chillingworth.
A. l did not.
Mr.. McCandless: @. Why did you
ask Mr.. Chiilingworth if he had turned
in his fines and costs?
A. Well, I know there has been a
procedure that he simply reported to
Dow. That was in the nature of a
question in regard to the Office work,
if he had turned in his fines and costs
to Mr.. Dow. In some months previous
it had been the custom not to turn in
the amounts until much later in the
month say by the Sth or 10th, and
when I was there checking last time
arranged with Mr.. Chillingworth tc
change the form of his account book
so as to be able to turn in his funds
promptly at the end of the month, and
Mr.. Dow could close his accounts. The
reason he stated he could not do it be-
fore was that some fines and costs
were not completed until they knew
whether a party was going to note an
appeal, and that took ten days; and
they didn't want to turn in the full
amount of the fines and costs until the
appeal was noted. had arranged with
him to carry over this account into the
next month, so as not to delay his clos
ing of the accounts and turning the
money over.
THE SECOND CHARGE.
The Chairman: Q. THAT on or about
the 9Th day of July, 1902. you passed a
check for upwards of seventeen hundred
dollars, drawn by yourself in favor of
Henry c. Hapai, Registrar of Public
Accounts in the Territory Of Hawaii.
Said check being drawn on the First
Bank of 1ilo, you having no funds, and
knowing that you had no funds in said
bank to pay said check or any part
thereof, and the same being drawn and
issued by you to obtain money thereon
for your own personal use in your in
di~idual capacity
\. Well, I had an account with the
Bank of Hilo before that check was
drawn. It was not given to Hapai as
a public accounting; it was a matter of
private business between US. 1t was
to be collected and paid over to the
bank in Honolulu; and I received no
money from him on that check. Wher
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1902-12-01

hadn't any money at all in the drawer.
To which Mr.. Chillingworth answered,
mo; I haven't got anything in the
drawer at all" When Mr. Chilling
worth was questioned what the draw
er" meant, he stated that he took it for
granted that Mr.. Austin meant the
government funds, because there could
have been no other funds but the gov
ernment funds In said drawer.
This evidence can be found on pages
80 to Sc of the report hereto attached.
The third charge in the message from
the Governor accuses Mr.. H. c. Austin
of having passed a check of upwards
Of 81, 200, drawn by Mr.. Austin in favor
of Henry C. Hapai, Regisssar of Public
Accounts of the Territory of Hawaii,
said check being drawn on the First
Bank of Hilo. We find that Mr.. Aus
tin had no funds at said bank when
Mr. Hapai through his bank, the Bank
of Hawaii, presented the check to the
First Bank of Hilo for collection. Mr..
Hapai did not endorse the check, as he
was afraid that as soon as he did so
he would be made responsible for the
amount He, therefore, deposited the
check, and endorsed on the back of it,
Hawaii then sent the check to Hilo for
collection, and it was returned, having
been dishonored in Hilol
The fourth charge was that Mr.. Aus
tir procured from Mr.. William vanat-
ta, a public accountant residing in Hi
10. the sum of $3.50. Mr.. Austin gave
his check upon a bank i'm the city of
Honolulu to said William vanatta for
said amount, well knowing at the time
that he had no funds in said bank to
cover the payment of same And when
William Vanattst, as Public Account
ant. made his 9egular returns to the
Treasury Departments they included

testimony of MIR. Hapai. Registrar of
