board has an option on 240 acres of
land lying just north of the hospital

KIMURA'S CONFESSION
WANTED TO SAVE HIrSRANT
TROUBLE.
Sc Killed the Unfaithful Wife Himself
Police Make Alleged Confession
Public-What Kimura Says.

The police have decided to make the
last statement and confession of XII
mura public. Kimura is shortly to be
tried for the murder of the Japanese
VIE OF Hamanaka, a store keeper of
Naialua. The confession is not so de-
tailed as the authorities had hoped it
would be and throws but little fresh
light on the reason for Kimura's deed
or murder. The statement was found
on Kimura shortly after the officers
placed him under arrest. Owing to the
prompt movements of Deputy Sheriff
Andrew Cox in arresting Kimura. the
latter had but little time in which to
write the confession. The statement is
as follows:
TO Yamanaka:--In the way home
from Kawaihea, Saito committed a
rape with Yamanaka's wahine. The
killing of wahine by Kimura is on ac-
count of SaitO, in order to apologize
towards Yamanaka. Please make it
known to Wanaluu. There is nothing
more to state. Give my best regard to
Yonemoto, Suganaka ana Kawasaki.
The money which is shown in book
account of store as if it was borrowed,
belonged to the wahine, and you have
no obligation to return the same; this
il the last will of the wahine. There
are lots of things to state, but you may
guess them all out
In the opinion of the authorities, XII
mura killed the woman because of her
conduct with the other Japanese. After
his arrest, kimura claimed that he and
the woman had tried to murder each
other and attempted the deed by slash
ing at each others throat. He was the
stronger and killed her, while she only
wounded him. No stock is taken in
this story. The confession is addressed
to the former employer of Kimura, who
was also the husband of Kimura's vic
tim. The other Japanese mentioned in
the confession are thought to be mere
ly acquaintances of the prisoner.

AUSTIN GETS AWARDS JAPS FOR CALIFORNIA
FIRE COMMISSION SENDING HIM
FINDINGS.
over Eighteen Thousand Warrants to
Be Made Out and Signed-The Plan
OF Distribution.

The court of fire claims has begun
sending awards up to Auditor Austin
and that officials office is now up
against the task of making out over 49,
600 warrants, for distribution among the
claimants. For every award three war
rants have to be made out, as payments
are to be made in three installments
annually. The work of making out the
$4,000 warrants will require a large
force of assistants, and Austin is not
envied the task of signing them. s.
The fire commissioners are still work.
ing on the entry books, signing the
awards as entered by the clerk, ]. NJ.
Riggs. This will probably be finished
in week or so. About two hundred
awards have already been sent to Aus
tin, but he has not begun work on them
yet.
The plan of distribution of the GER
tificates of award and warrants is to
advertise so many ready per day, by
number and allow the claimants to
come for. them. The fire commission
ers and auditor, will work in harmony
the claims commission announcing
awards only as Austin has the warrants
ready. The claimants may then call
upon RIGGS and get their awards and go
to the auditor at once for warrants,
which will be all ready for them. Then
they can go to the Treasurer-who will
prODaDly stand them off. They may
register the warrants, however. and
from time the latter are registered the
warrants will draw interest, and there
is no doubt about the paper being good
negotiable paper.
As an aftermath of the commissions s
awards there will probably be some dis
putes about the division of cash among
the owners and lessons of buildings des-
troyed. In many cases there were half
dozen claims for one building burned
The owner put in a claim, and the
lessor, and then there were sub-lessors,
in some cases half a dozen of them.
Just what proportion of the award goes
to the owners and to the various lessons
the court of claims did not attempt to
figure out. Awards have been made in
each case one lump, to the owner, the
awards being subject to the claims of
the lessons, and it is left for the owners
and lessons to settle the proposition
among themselves. If they cannot
agree they may take the matter into
the courts. The courts have nothing to
do with the matter of awarding dam
ages, but when an award has been
made they can take up the matter OF
deciding whom it belongs to.

MONEY VERY SCARCE
SILVA COULD NOT RAISE FORTY
DOLLARS.
Ashford Says Money Was Never SO
Hard to Get Before But the Court
Demands It.

Judge Robinson resumed the hearing
of the Silva divorce case this morning
Attorneys Thompson and Farley for
the plaintiff stated that the defendant
M. G. Silva had failed to pay the $40
alimony this month, as ordered by the
court some weeks ago. Silva stated
that he had not been able to get the
money but that he would try to raise
it.
Il have never known a time in Homo
lulu when money was so scarce and
hard to get, or when times were so
hard as now" said c. w. Ashford, who
has been associated with Correa as
counsel for Silva. Il have a client who
has been trying for some time to bor-
row 5000 on gilt edged real estate secu-
rity, and he has not been able to get
it"
Thompson said that Silva had sworn
that he was worth $4,000 and could
easily raise $40 "Will you loan it?"
asked Ashford Thompson was willing,
provided that Silva would give trust
deed, as he was said to have done to
other people.
Judge Robinson said that he didn't
want to be hard in using the powers of
the court, but that $40 was not a very
large sum for a man of property to
raise. Considering that there are a
woman and two children depending up
on it for support, l consider it an out
rage that the money has not been
paid" said the court, and Robinson ad-
vlsed Silva to try and see if he couldn't
dig up $40
Farley filed an affidavit on a motion
for a continuance, stating that counsel
for the plaintiff had not been able to
find one Marie II. Jose, who is needed
a., witness. This is the woman with
whom Silva is alleged to have been
living. Marie Jose is named as CO.
respondent in the divorce complaint,
and the police have not been able to
find her to serve subpoena since the
suit began.
The case was postponed to Friday
morning.

From there a small steamer conveyed
them to the American Consulate at

information has been received by letter
by Mrs. Thornton Thompson of 2731

Captain Thompson is only 90 years
of age, and has been in command of a
ship since he was a. His first COM
mand was that Of the ship Roanoke.
He was mate on a voyage from this
port to New York about six years ago.
Captain Hamilton died on the VOYAGE
and the youth took the big ship safely

voyage in the Roanoke after which the
Sewalls placed him in command of the

old clipper-built class, and was sus-
tanning her reputation as a record
breaker until she came to grief on the
night Of March 10th on a sunken reef
near one of the little islands in the

the ship struck and the shock brought
every one on deck, but there was not
the slightest confusion, as the crew
quickly provisioned the boats and stood
by to lower away.

ANARCHIST PLOT,

LONDON, May 2O-The correspondent
of the Daily Chronicle at Budapest re-
ports the Illustration Of a plot against
the life of Emperor Francis Joseph.
The Emperor was recently going on a
night train from Vienna to Budapest. In
the final inspection oftthe imperial train
at the terminus of the state railroad at
Vienna, made ten minutes before his
MaJesty's arrival there, a bomb covered
with paper was found in the Emperor s
compartment. 1t was evidently calcu-
lated that this bomb would explode the
moment his Majesty entered the car. An
investigation of the matter led to the
dismissal of several railroad employees.
The greatest secrecy concerning this
plot has been observed, concludes the
correspondent, and the Emperor for
bade the newspapers of Vienna to men
ton the affair.
