FAVOR THE WIDENING At PEARL HARBOR
ROAD JURY WILL SO RECON-
MEND.
Waikiki Road to BE an Even Width of
Eighty Feet-Property Owners De-
sirous of Aiding Matter.

The road jury, drawn for the purpose
of determining the advisability of
widening the Waikiki road from King
street to kapiolani Park completed
its Investigation on Saturday and
met, with some of the owners interested
for "a few minutes i'm the Office of the
high sheriff this m, ming Commits
sioner j. II. Boyd was in attendance.
The jury found and explained that a
slight alteration would have to be made
TO correct an error i'm the present man
of the proposed widening This will be
corrected by a surveyor and the altered
tracing viii be submitted to the jury
with the written report before the final
presentation of the same
No report was made this morning and
none will probably be submitted until
Wednesday, the limit of time being Fri
day next.
The jury is unanimous i'm aGyiStaE
che desirabnity of widening the tho
roughfare ana their report win so read.
The widths to be added vary. the road
being now much narrower in some
places than others. on the bends the
present width in places barely averages
thirty-hve to forty feet. When COM
pleted, the Waikiki road will present "a
wide boulevard aspect of an even
breadth of eighty feet.
But little difficulty has been met with
from owners. those who have not given
the strip outright stating that they
will allow the widening at a low ana
equitable rate for their land. This COM
pensation, they claim is but fair. in
consideration of the price that many of
them have paid for their land as
against the outlay of original owners.

FIVE HUNDRED CUBIC YARDS A
DAY.
The swell is Heavier Than Contractors
Generally Thought It Would be-The
Channel and Breakers.

The dredEer at Pearl Harbor con-
t.nues to work fun time and is gradu-
elly clearing the way for the war ships
of the navy to follow i'm days to come.
An appreciable difference i'm the bar
Is noticeably already and it is estimat-
ed that when a depth of twenty feet
is once cut through the bar for even
a narrow channel, there will be hardly
any breakers The swell has been
heavier than contractors generally eX-
pected, the rise and fan being enough
to effectaully prove, it is said, that the
suction method of clearing the channel
would have been impractical had it
been attempted. The dredger at pres
ent averages about five scows of sand
day, the total contents of which,
about five hundred cubic yards, are
tOwed out to sea by the tender and
dumped The clam shell scoops are
brought up on an average of about two
every three minutes. The navy sCOWs
begin to show sign Of wear and tear on
the Sides where they are jammed
against the dredser in the heavy seas.

TO BOMBARD ISLAND
IROQUOIs SAILORS TO GET GUN
PRACTICE.
Captain Rodman Plans to Take Them
Soon to Molollini Island and Give
Them Practical Work

Although the recent cruise of the IT,.
S. Tug IrOQuois to Kauai, was made
primarily for the purpose Of giving the
sailors target practice, conditions were
not favorable, so Captain Rodman de-
cided to postpone the gun exercise un-
til a more auspiCuOus occasion.
The object I'm gun practice aboard
naval vessels, is to make the eXer-
else as nearly of a practical character
as possible The idea is to have the
suns fired exactly as they would be,
if in action against other vessels or
fortihcatiou. The guns have, in cOnse-
uuence, to be fired from all sides of
the vessel. The IrOquOis went too
close to Kauai on her recent trip to
risk firing the guns in such manner,
as people ashore might be injured or
property damaged. The water was too
rough also, to admit of good work on
SO small a vessel as the lrOquOis
The practice was therefore not at
tempted Captain ROdman has dectd-
ed however, to make trip shortly to
the island of Molokini, which lies off
the southwest coast of Maui. He will
send ashore and determine whether
there be any persons on the island, and
then, will set up a number of targets
by marking rocks. The men will be di-
rected to go ahead with their firing.
They will not be told the distance to
the targets and will have to do the
range finding themselves. The vessel
will be kept maneuvering about in all
sorts of directions and the sailors Will,
therefore be given the actual expert
ence of firing, as if in real action This
target work will not be attempted
however for some weeks.

TO KAULIA
JUDGE WILCOX MADE SOME
KINDLY REMARKS.
And Adjourned Court Out of Respect
to Memory Of Deceased-Other At
torneys Paid Respect Also

Tributes were paid to the memory
of the late j. X. Kaulia, in the district
court this morning. Although the
calendar was the largest that has been
before Judge Wilcox in many weeks,
there being "a cases, court adjourned
this morning until tomorrow out of
respect to the deceased attorney. Only
the cases for intOXicatiOn were dis
posed of by the court.
]. l.. Kaulukou arose and called the
attention of the court to the death of
Mr.. Kaulia and moved that, out of
respect to the memory of the dead
man, an adjournment be taken. Mr.
Kaulukou took occasion to pay tri-
butte to the memory of Mr.. kaulia who
had been connected with the police de-
parement on Hawaii at the time that
Mr.. Kaulukou was the chief of police
for that island
S. f. Chillingworth and c. w. Ash
ford also made remarks about the de-
ceased.
Judge Wilcox paid a graceful tribute
to the deceased. The court said that
he had known Mr. Kaulia for many
years. He had originally met him
when Kauia was connected with the
police department on the island Of Ha-
vail Mr. Kaulia had been a regular
practitioner i'm the police court for
long time and the court had come to
respect him.
Mr.. lIaulia was a pure Hawaiian"
said Judge Wilcox. "He was friend
TO his race and hereafter, many Ha-
Waiians who are too poor and can not
afford to secure the seyriCes of an
attorney, will miss Mr. Kaulia. for he
was always ready TO appear i'm behalf
OF those who needed his services yet
who We're too poor TO pay him.

IN LOCAL INSURANCE
YOUNG BUILDING RATE CAUSES
DISCUSSION.
Board of Underwriters Fixes it At
Fifteen Cents More Than Hackfeld
Building.

Some little talk in insurance circles
has been raised lately over the rates
of insurance in connection with the
new Young building now being erect
ed. No pains or expense were limited
with the architects in attempting to
make the big hotel and commercial
building absolutely fire proof and when
the board of underwriters announced
that the rates would be considerably
higher than on the Hackfeld building
those interested in the Young edittce
imagined that distinctions were being
unnecessarily drawn.
The rates on the two buildings show
a difference of fifteen cents in favor
of the Hackfeld edihce, the figures be-
ing 10 and So cents Local surround
ings and the use of the building for
different purposes are all taken into
consideration by the underwriters in
determining the rates. The use of a
building however fire proof, as for ho-
tel purposes, creates a factor of Is
cents more than if it was utilized pure
ly for commercial purposes. The pres
enCe of stores in the Young building
adds to the insurance rate, While the
surroundings, as they are judged by the
underwriters by the character of the
neighboring buildings from an indam-
mable standpoint runs the rate up still
higher. The adjustments are made on
an equitable scale and the board of
underwriters is the decisive court in
such affairs.
"The reason for the presence of a no.
tel making the rates so high said a
prominent insurance man this morn
ing, "may be easily seen when the fact
is remembered that ordinarily, COM
mercial buildings are practically closed
up at dusk with only the watchman
on the premises. In an hotel, on the
contrary, the majority of those using
the building remain all night while
lights are burning and engines are
running for electric production. The
risks are greater and more constant
aside from the question of fireproOf
partitions and floors. The Young
building is as freproof as modern
architects and builders can make it
but it's uses and general surroundings
create risks that are laid down on reg
ular scales and must be taken into
consideration"

A TYPICAL FRESHMAN.
MacNamara Gets Hit With a Delaying
Pin.

MacNamara, who described himself
to Judge Wilcox on the occasion of his
arrest some weeks since as "a typical
lrishman," arrived at the police station
this morning with a head bandaged and
battered and applied for a warrant
against mate Rogers of the bark Loui-
siana, who according to MacNamara.
had hit him between the eyes with a
Delaying pin for no reason on earth at
all, at all" With MacNamara came the
night watchman Of the Louisiana. an
other lrishman, who COrrObOrated Mac
Namara's story which ran as follows
AT nine o'clock yesterday evening.
MacNamara, at the request of his
friend the watchman. who had been
with him throughout the day. went
aboard the Louisiana, lying at the
channel wharf En- route to the fore
castle, the mate stepped from the ca
bin and, first hitting him in the mouth,
then promptly knocked him down with
Delaying pin MaCNamara wore the
same clothes that he had on when the
assault was made, his shirt being plen-
tifully bespattered with blood.
Captain Flint and Deputy Sheriff
ChillingwOrth did not seem disposed to
credit entirely MacNamara's version.
They state that he has been arrested
twice already and, since his arrival,
has not showed any burning inclination
to work. Captain Flint elected the fact
from the Watchman that he was suppOS-
ed to go on duty aboard his ship at six
o'clock, but was two hours and a half
late getting down to work yesterday.
MacNamara states that he was not
drunk and that he has been working on
ditch for fourteen days Flint did
not think the mate of the Louisiana

and Mrs. Brit Lewis, residing five
miles south of Bronson, Levy county,
we're murdered last night by rob-
bers.
The aged couple had been calling
on their son who resides only
short distance from where the killing
took place. They returned at night
and surprised two robbers who were
in the act Of opening large iron safe
in which the prosperous farmer kept
his money.
The son of Lewis heard shots in the
direction of his fathers house and
ran at once to the place. When IL Q
son arrived he found the dead body
of his mother lying across the corpse
OF her husband near the entrance to
the house. Both had been shot sew

A SAD SUICIDE IN sPARTANBURG.
Aditor X, Eber Brewton Cuts His Throat
With a Razor.
Especial to The State.

Spartanburg, Aug. 3l.-The city
of Spartanburg was shocked this
morning when the announcement
was made on the street that Auditor
r. Eber Brewton had taken his own
life by cutting his throat with a
razor; The deed was committed at
his home about 7.30 o'clock.
Mr.. Brewton had been sick for
several months, but got up this morn
ing and dressed preparatory to going
about his daily duties but had not
left his room. Mrs. Brewton had left
their bedroom to get her husband a
dose of medicine, and during her
absence Mr.. Brewton went to the
bureau drawer and took therefrom
razor and cut his throat. He then
locked the door and stuffed paper in
the cracks, also the key hole, to keep
any one from seeing him. All this
time the wound was bleeding pro
fusely. He removed his coat and
vest and went to the basin, holding
his head over it as his life blood
oozed away, until so weakened by the
loss Of blood he fe.l to the floor,
and in death still clasped tightly in
his right hand the razor with which
the deed was committed.
In the meantime Mrs. Brewton
returned with the medicine, and
finding the door locked gained ad-
| mission to the room through win
| dow by means of stepladder and
was Mortified to see her husband in
the last throes of death. She in
| stsntly gave the alarm aud medical
| aid was summoned, but proved of NO
avail.
It is thought that at least half an
hour elapsed between the commits,
sion Of the act and the time of his
death No inquest will be held and
tomorrow the body will be buried.
For six months Mr.. Brewton had
been in declining health and had been
| unable in a large measure to attend
the duties of his Office. He was a
gallant soldier in the civil war and
| received two wounds, one in the
head the other in the body, from
which he suffered greatly and was
perhaps, the indirect cause of his
rash act. He was an honest, up
right, manly fellow and universally
liked throughout the county.
The Governor will probably ap
o oint some one to fill the Office Of
county auditor until January, wher
his regular successor will qualify.

Mr.. Lewis was preparing to retire
when two loads Of large shot ended
his life.
From indications at the scene this
morning Mrs. Lewis was near by
writing when her husband was shot
and when she rushed to bis assistance
a ball was fired from a rife, pene-
trsting her mouth. This, it seems,
did not prove fatal and she man
aged to reach his side, when load OF
shot was fred which ended her life
and she fell across his lifelsss form,
and it was in this position they were
found. 1t was learned that an ef-
fort had been made to rob his safe
during his absence, which proved
futile, and it is believed that fear oi
the detection by Mr.. Lewis caused
! the fends TO commit the awful crime
The belief is that the murder was
committed by two parties and the
general impression is that they are
white men who are acquainted with
the premises and knew of his wealth
