"HELL ROARING JAKE"

The Man Who Gave the "Burn and
Kip sumarily Dismissed from
the Army
WASHINGTON, July 16.-In an exe-
cutive order issued today President
Roosevelt directs that General
Jacob Fl. Smith be summarily retir-
ed from the active list OF the army,
as result OF his having direct Maj
or Waller of the Marine Corps TO
"bll and burn" in Samar.
General Smith. who earned the
sobriquet OF "Hell-roaring Jake" is
en route to the United States on a
Government transport and will not
kuow.until he lands in San Francisco
that he had met the fate with which
President Roosevelt threatened
General Miles.
The President has power to u-
tire any officer between the ages OF
81 and GA years, but the power is
seldom exercised. The announced
Of his decision il the Smith care
caused a decided sensation and
surprise today.
The court martial OF Gen Smith
recommends that he be reprimand
ed by the reviewing author ty, in
this case the President.

Gained the Object of His Search

Judge s. W. Kaai OF Hookena,
South Kona, Hawaii, came down in
the last Mauna Loa fish ng for his
reappointment. He returns home
by the same steam today, having
gained, 80 we are told, the object OF
his Wit here through the influence
Of one OF our retired Republican
Senators. Bully for the good nat
ured joken Judge!
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1902-07-29

W, 2. Haia, strongly recommended
by certain prominent people OF the
Island OF Maui and highly endorsed
by the Republican Executive Com
mittee, for the position OF District
Magistrate for Haua, and appointed
another without such recommends
ton and endorsement from nobody
OF nowhere unless it must have
been through the Vaccinations Of
some unknown party or parties
who might have blinded the Exc
cutive with his odious qualities7
This is a mater The INDEPENDENT
would like to know more about, OF
course it can surmise how it came
about as we'll as how it happened.
We know Mr.. Haia we'll and we are
safe in saying that he lie worthy
man for the position, and so would
be M, 81. Reuter-. Both OF them
are honorable man and most worthy
of being trusted aud they can be
depended upon. But the Govern
OTIS appointee, he is as slippery, and
more 80, than an eel.

THE LaHAINA WATER WORKS.

Progress of the Work Now Carried
On. Wonderful Piece of Old En-
gineering Work.
Work on the Lahaina Water
Works is progressing under the
able supervision OF Jno. 81. Wilson,
assisted by Henry Cooper, for
Emmeluth & Co., Ltd, the con-
tractors. About one. half of the
water pipes are on the Kaanapali
landing and delivery OF them is be-
ing gradually pushed along the
route up to Lahainaluna. Trench
es have been dug from the first
reservoir, in rear OF the Lahainaluna
school, to almost near the location
OF the second reservoir, about 1000
feet lower down in the cane fields,
and the only thing that is now
awaiting is the connection OF the
pipes.
The writer was on the spot las!
Thursday afternoon and was shown
neatly the whole line OF work b.
Mr.. Wilson. Thu first reservoir i.
the old concrete cistern for tht
school, built in the long ago by Ole
missionary tutors and pupils o.
that one time noted Hawaiian insti
tuition OF learning. A stone wall
has been built around this cistern
to brace it up and is 10 feet wide
all around at the top and looks very
much like formidable fortifcation.
This cistern has been connected
with the stream (suwaD at the rear
OF the hill with 720 feet OF 10 inch
pipe, and was TO have been tested
last Friday.
From the frat reservoir, 4-inch
pipes will connect it with the lower
reservoir. The incline is quite
steep to the eyes of a non-mechanic,
but it was pointed out that that
size pipe will be quite capable OF
supporting the force OF water to the
lower one. When the lower reser
voir is built, which will be much
larger than the first (25x30 ft.), a
6 inch main will be laid through
the town with 3 and 2 inch
branches.
A certain Mr.. Smith is there as
the engineer on behalf of the Pub
lie Works Department and he hs'
r. P. Hose assisting him for tho
