JUDGE De BOLTS
INITIAL CASE
IS A DIVORCE SUIT WITH A PITT
FUL STORY OF A DYING CHILD
AND A DRUNKEN FATHER.

The first suit brought in which the
declaration is addressed to Judge De
Bolt as First Judge was filed this
morning and is a divorce case. Amelia
l.. Brit asks for a divorce from her
husband John Wesley Brit. The two
were married August II, 1895, by Rev.
H. w. Peck, and they have three chill
dren living, boy aged six and two lit
tie girls aged respectively four and one
year. Mrs. Brit alleges in her COM
plant that for more than two years
past her husband has been an habitual
drunkard, and has neglected and mis-
treated her and the children and fail
ed to make provision for them. She
alleges that in May, 1901, when one of
their children was dying the husband
and father came home drunk and kick
ed the cradle in which the dying child
was lying, and when the mother pro-
tested he beat her and kicked the era
die again. Judge De Bolt, before whom
the matter came up this morning, en-
tered an order requiring the husband
to pay $40 week alimony, pendente
lite.
In the divorce suit of Mary II. Bailey
against George IL. Bailey, a motion. for
an ordering requiring him to pay so
a month alimony was continued until
Friday morning.
The Orpheum Company has begun
suit in the Circuit Court against Mac
farlane & Company for $500 alleged ID
be due on an assessment of 81 a share
on 25O shares of stock in the Orpheum
Company subscribed by Macfarlane g.
Company. 1t is alleged that $14 a
share has already been paid on the
stock, but that the defendant has fail
ed and refused to pay the assessment
which became delinquent last May.

DEATH FOLLOWS
TWO ACCIDENTS
CHINESE HORRIBLY BURNED AND
DIES OF HIS INJURIES-BLOOD-
POISONING TAKES LIFE.

There were two deaths by violence on
Maui recently. News of the accidents
was received this morning by High
Sheriff Brown.
One of the cases was where a native
man about 25 years of age had died
while under an operation of amputatiOn
His name was Kaopua. On September
IL he was intoxicated and lay across
the railroad track at Kahului. The
train ran over his right arm. The ply
sicians decided that amputatiOn was
necessary but the father of the injur-
ed man refused to permit them to oper-
ate on the young fellow.
Everything that was possible to re-
lieve the suffering of the injured
man was done, but he gradually grew
worse as gangrene began to set in.
Finally the consent of the father was
obtained and on September 19, the
operation was started. The young man
died while under the operation. "A
coroners inquest was held a verdict
being returned to the effect that the
deceased had died from blood poison
ing while being operated for amputa-
ton.
Wong All Lok was the name of the
other victim and he died September is
from injuries received from being burn
ed by oil at Spreckelsville. On Septem-
ber H. the Chinese took a lighted lamp
and went to an oil tank at "Well No.
g." The Chinese was in company with
countryman named Pow Lom. All
Lok went to a barrel for the purpose of
getting some coal oil to put into the
lamp of Pow Lom. All Lok evidently
mistook the use of the. check valve, for
he unscrewed the tap and caused the
oil to gush out of the tank. The oil was
ignited from the lighted lamp carried
by Lok.

LUAU OR BARBACUE?

Invitations have been issued to all
delegates to attend a luau to be given
at the home of j. Mana in Pauoa on
Thursday evening next. The invitation
is issued in the names of A. l.. c. At

McCabe, committee on entertainment.
A bullock and sundry pigs have been
rendered for the occasion by prominent
Republicans and there will be a grand
rally of party workers with speeches
calculated to enthuse and instruct. In
many respects the affair resembles u
mainland barbecue only the meat will
be roasted under and not above ground.

1t was quite a distinguished crowd
that almost filled Judge Robinson S
court room this morning Most of them
had come in answer to subpoend5 trnm
one side or the other to testify to the
sanity or insanity of John X. sumner.
by far the larger number had been
summoned on behalf of Sumner.
Among the gathering were the Bishop
of Panopolis, S. M. Damon, john F.
COlburn, S. c. Allen, DR., John S. Nc
Grew, Bruce Cartwright, Mark p. Rob
inson, Col. w. f. Allen, p. G. Jones,
Father Valentine, B. f. Dillingham;,
]. II. SchnaCk, Miss Lucy Peabody,
Mrs. e. X. Pratt, James Olds Jr., w. r.
Castle, Carlos A, Long, David Dayton.
Mrs. Charlotte d. King, Peter Barron,
Benjamin Chapman and Cecil Brown.
There was a long dispute between at
torneys as to when the case should be-
gin, and neither side would venture an
opinion as to when it would end. G. a.
Davis, representing the petitioner, Ma
ria S. Davis, who alleges that her
brother John X. Sumner is insane ana
incapable of taking care of his estate,
said he thought it would take about
two days to present his case. Finally
it was decided that the case should go
on at 2 o'clock this afternoon, ana
Judge Robinson instructed all of the
witnesses subpoenaed on behalf of the
petitioner to be present at that nour.
The other witnesses were instructed to
be present Wednesday morning at 10
o'clock. z.AEl
John f. Colburn raised the point of
whether the witnesses could be requir-
ed to attend further without being
rendered further witness fees; in other
words whether the tender of fees al
ready made had not exhausted itself
and it's legal force by the attendance
of the witnesses this morning.
Judge Robinson replied that it had
not; that though the witnesses were
entitled to their fees, the instruction
of the court to be present at definite
lime did not need any tender of WIZ
ness fees to make it effective. The
witnesses must be in attendance, and
wait for their fees till they were taxed
as costs and collected.

A Veteran Of
The Tai Ping
Rebellion

Pang Fook, whose funeral YES
terday afternoon was the most
largely attended Chinese funeral
ever held in the Territory of Ha-
wall, is said to have been a
veteran of the Tai Ping rebellion
one Of the most ferOcious wars
of modern times, and the most
serious assault on the Manchu
dynasty of China it has ever ex-
perienced. 1t was in the sup
preston of this rebellion that Lii
Hung Chang laid the founda-
tions of his reputation an des-
tablished himself as the bulwark
and support of the throne. 1t
was from his services in putting
down this rebellion on behalf of
the Chinese government that
Gen. Gordon acquired the SOU
briquet of Chinese" Gordon.
The Tai Ping rebellion is said
to have been largely brought
about and carried on by the
members of the Ket On Fui Kon
Society which in its origin
was a Chinese patriotic society
the rebellion having for it's OBJ
ject the overthrow of the Man
chu or present dynasty and the
elevation to the throne of a pure
Chinese dynasty. Pang Fook
came to Hawaii very soon after
the suppression of the Tai Ping
rebellion, some say as a refugee,
he having been one of the rebels.
However that may be, he was an
active worker in the Hawaiian
branch of the organization
which is said now to number
about two fifths of the Chinese
in the territory in it's member
ship, but is not now a political
but a benevolent organization.
Pang Fook has been at the head
of the order here for the past
thirteen years. He died Septem-
Der II. His embalmed body lay
in state in a pavilion built for
the purpose adjoining the joss
house of the society on Bere-
tania street, until the funeral
yesterday. Hundreds of the
members of the society arrived
from the other islands and from
others parts of this island, and
ii is estimated that no less than
$500 people followed the body to
the grave in the cemetery in
Pauoa valley. The hearse was
drawn by fifty men. The Ter
ritorial and the Catholic Mission
bands were in attendance. No
essential of Chinese funeral
ceremonial was omitted in yes
terday's Obsequies.

Householders and other users Of
electric light and telephones are warm
ed that there is more likely to be trout
BILE with their wires during the rainy
season than during the dry.
with the advent of the rainy season
the chances of accident from electric
circuits greatly increase" says Terri
torial Electrician Hasson. This is due
principally to the interference of foli-
age with overhead lines, and to faulty
or fiimsy construction allowing pos
sibility, under stress of weather, OF
contact between electric light or pow
er lines and telephone or signal lines.
1T is matter of record for the past
several years that the electric lighting
and telephone systems have been eX-
ceedingly unreliable during the months
of December and January; also that
at this time many persons have recelV-
ed electric shocks more or less serious
in their nature.
THE growth of trees during the
summer months is very great but
there is no particularly noticeable ef-
feet until the period of continuous
rains when the branches become so
heavily laden with moisture as to be
brought down on the wires. This re-
suits in some cases in the breaking
down of the wires; in other cases IN
! the breaking down of the insulation
| causing grounds and short circuits the
result of which can not be foretoid; in
other cases, in bringing in contact diff
ferent classes of wires which may re-
| suit disastrously to the supply COM
| panies or to the public.
Since January of this year an effort
has been made by the Government to
| improve construction and remove ex-
listing hazards by the establishment OF
an electrical inspection. Considerable
has been accomplished in the way OF
having new construction stable in it's
| character. Existing laws, however, DO
not provide for the enforcement of
rules modifying existing construction,
| without tedious legal formalities.
! MANY reports have been made to
| the companies holding franchises for
| the erection of pole lines, but few
have met with any response. The in
spection force is limited to one inspec-
| tor who can not possibly eihciently

Great Change
In Favor Of
Prince Kuhio

There is no doubt. in my

wards Republicanism," says A.

committee. Il think we shall
carry the country triumphantly
in November.
prince Kuhio Us bringing to-
gether large crowds on Hawaii
wherever he speaks. This We
CLEAN not only from our own Of
fetal sources but by letters writ
ten by others outside of the ac-
tual political work. He has sue
cessfully met attempted rival
meetings by Kalauokalani and
there have been rising votes in
favor of the prince and the Re-
publican ticket. One excellent
feature is the desire of the peo-
pie to know why the prince turn
ed from the Home Rulers to the
Republican party, a showing
that makes manifest the fact
that they reserved their judg-
ment until the prince could
speak for himself despite asser-
tions made by the Home Rulers,
who said among other things,
that the queen had discOunte-
nanced the young Ali.
There have been instances of
Home Rule meetings in actual
progress broken up by the arri-
val of Kuhio. The prince has
been working hard stopping to
speak on every occasion, even to
little roadside gatherings"
Prince Kuhio is at KOna today
and will remain in that district
until Friday when he takes the
Claudine for Maui.
Three hundred and siXty-one
electors have registered at Mo-
lokai and nearly all of them
have endorsed the Republican
ticket. All who have expressed
any opinion. At the recent visit
of the Board of Registration $50
were present and listened atten
lively to the talk. Last year
312 registered.
A big rally will be held at Ka-
lihi detention camp this evening
under the auspices of the Young
Mems Republican Club and eff
forts are being put forth to make
of it one ofthe largest and most
enthusiastic gatherings of Ha-
waiians yet held in the city. The
speakers will discuss the Will
cox proposition to place the
Leper Settlement under the con-
troll of the Federal Government.
