ager Osborn, of the Concrete Con-
struction Company, was badly hurt by
fall from his bicycle on Beretania
street yesterday afternoon.

on horseback. and Osborn was holding
to the saddle flap, and riding without
his feet on the pedals. When opposite
the Methodist church the horse made
a swerve, and the bicycle Of Osborn
was thrown across the road and the
youth fell heavily.
He was unconscious when picked up.
and for a time after he had been car

ANOTHER JAP
TAKES Ills LIFE

Yesterday afternoon about 4 o'clock
Guy Owens, the well known electrician,
received telephone message from his
brother, Roy Owens. the electrician OF
the Oahu Sugar Company, that the
dead body OF IA japanese had just been
found hanging In a shed on the govern
ment road between Waipio and Wal
pahu.
Mr.. Owens was walking along the
road from Waipio to Waiapahu when
Portuguese boy met him and told him
that the body of Japanese was hang
ing in a shed used by the laborers on
the road.
Investigation proved such to be the
case. The Japanese was discovered
quite dead suspended by the neck from
n crossbeam.
When Mr.. Owens telephoned, the men
from the Oahu Sugar Company were
running to the scene Of the tragedy
Manager Ahrens. OF the Oahu plan
tatlon. confirmed the story by telephone
last night. An inquest will be held
this morning.
This is the flfth suicide which has
occurred in or around Honolulu this
month.
1t is possible that the suicide OF yes
terday is connected with the suicide OF
Otsuka, Il Japanese, which occurred at
Waikiki on Wednesday morning.
Al the inquest on the body Of Otsu-
ka. Hoshima, the uncle OF deceased, tes-
titled that Otsuka, until the 18th inst.
had worked at Aiea. The district of
Aiea is adjacent to the lands of the
Oahu plantation, and II Is possible that
the cause which led to Otsuka taking
his own life, is responsible for the sui
eide OF his countryman in the shed on
the government road In the vicinity OF
the scenes of both mems past lives

Mail Wharf Close d.

Early yesterday morning the Pacific
Mail wharf went through the process
of fumigation. Fumigator-in-Ch Chief Nc
Weigh watched the administration of
the sulphur fumes. The fumigators
had quite job with the wharf on ac-
count of it's age and the bad state OF
repair into which 1t has fallen. The
chief difficulty has been to caulk II
sufficiently to hold the cleansing fumes.
Notwithstanding the care, exercised in
this work, leaks were discovered in
several places, when the fumes were
pumped in. The fumigation lasted
twelve hours, and 1t is confidently
hoped and expected. that today there is
not a live cockroach left under the
venerable structure.

but one serious accident, and the COM
pary was entirely exonerated for respon-
sibility therefor by the jury. For a road
where everything is new and the great
majority of the motormen and conduc-
tors without previous experience. this Is
a showing that cannot be excelled by any
road in the United States.
We are now operating ten regular cars
with four extras during the heavy morn
ing and evening traffic. At this date We
have 16 motor cars and four trailers set
up and ready to operate. Our entire car
equipment will consist of IS motor cars
and 10 trailers.
FUTURE EXTENSIONS.
A contract is about to be entered into
for the extension of our main line from
the corner of Wilder avenue and Alexan-
der street to the Waikiki road at or near
the Kalia (or John Ena) road, a distance
of about 6.170 feet. This line will follow
Alexander street to Beretania street. Ber-
etania street to McCully street, and Nc
Gully street to and across the McCully
tract to the Waikiki road. This will ne
cessitate a rock fill across the McCully
tract which will be made at the expense
of the Waikiki Land and Loan Associa-
ton. 1t is expected before this work has
been completed that arrangements VIII
be made for the extension of the line to
and through the Kapiolani Park. After
of the King street line will be begun.
This line will then constitute the main
line to Waikiki with a transfer point at
McCully and King streets, for the line
now in operation. Consideration has also
been given to the construction of line
commencing at foot of Fort street and
the Esplanade, along the Esplanade to
Alakea street, and up this street to and
along Emma and Punchbowl to the ex-
tension of Kuakini, along Kuakini to MI
uanu, and along Nuuanu to the brick
works. The construction of this line.
with transfer points at Hotel and Alakea
and King and Alakea streets. will enable
passengers to connect with the steamers
! from all parts of the city.

portunty to express my appreciation OF

RICHMOND SEN Err AND

The attention Of the public is respects
fully called to the following report Of the
superintendent of the light department
of this company in reference to the with
drawal of its electric current from build
ingS in which current of very much
higher valtage than that furnished by
this company is used for lighting pur-
poses:
Major James D. Patton, President Rich
mond Passenger and Power Company:
Dear Sir,-I deem it proper to bring
to the attention of the Board of D1rec-
tors the question OF the advisability OF
this company declining to furnish cleo
trio current to buildings in which high
voltage electric current for light pur-
poses is being used.
My reasons for suggesting this action
are well known to you, and you will re-
call that for more than year past I
have repeatedly called your attention to
the danger both ito persons and
as a fire risk, Of high voltage electric
currents for lighting purposes within
buildings. I am aware that tho sug-
sested withdrawal will subject this COM
pany to considerable loss of revenue,
and will entail the severance of business
relations from some WHO for many years
have been our patrons, but the time has
now arrived, in my opinion, for this COM
pany to decline to risk its record for safe
electrical distribution by continuing to
furnish service to buildings subject, as
I believe, to Il very great fire risk.
Very respectfully.
