Walter +. Lee, superintendent of the
rock crusher of the Palolo Land and
Improvement Company, met a horrible
death early yesterday morning by be-
ing ground in some of the machinery of
the crusher. At the jury inquest held
yesterday afternoon facts were brought
out which seem to indicate that Lee
met his death through carelessness.
No one saw the accident but a Jap
anese. Firemen of the same national
ity were close at hand and stopped
the machinery.
The deceased was trying to clean
rocks from the machinery. A wide
belt which carries buckets, runs from
the crusher down into a pit where it
revolVes around a wheel Some pieces
of rock had failed onto the belt and
been carried or else had rolled down
the incline and lodged between the
wheel and the belt preventing the ma
chinery from running smoothly. Lee
went into the pit which Is small one,
there being barely room enough for a
man to stand. He evidently tried to
loosen the rock from the belt with his
hands or stick without having the
machinery stopped In some manner
he either fell or was caught in the
swiftly revolving belt and killed in a
few seconds. His left arm was almost
entirely torn from its socket, merely
hanging by few shreds, His left ear
was torn off, and one of his eyes was
gone.
A Japanese. who was near by. called
TO the fireman and he shut off the
steam and after seeing what the trou-
ble was ran back and turned the lever
stopping all the machinery. Lee was
taken from the nit but ne was already
dead, The body was removed to II.

CARELESSNESS CAUSED THE
DEATH OF WALTER E. LEE

II. Williams's undertaking establish
ment and the funeral will take place
today, the interment being at Pearl
City.
Walter Lee has been on these islands
for many years and was well liked by
al. who knew him. He has been mar
ried twice, his second wife, Il Portu-
Guese, and several children surviving
him. On first coming to the islands
some fifteen years ago he worked at
kahuku plantation. He was Chilean
of American negro descent and has
travelled extensively. After leaving
the plantation he worked for Il. o.
Hall for some time and later was en-
ployed by A. f. Cooke at the fertilizer
works. Mr.. Cooke finally placed him
in charge of the works of the Palolo
Land Co, in the valley of that name
where he has been for several years.
He was absolutely trusted by those
who know him. was a hard worker and
had many friends. He was somewhat
of a linguist speaking and also writing
English, Portuguese and Spanish. He
was also we'll known in yachting cir
cles having taken part in numerous
races in his yacht the Maria and win
ming prizes.
Lee was in the islands during the
troubles in and following 1898, and was
staunch supporter of the Provisional
Government. His death is universally
regretted by those who know him, and
much sympathy is expressed for his
wife, family and mother, who is well
known among the kamaainas and who
has been living with her son for sew
eral years.

Mr., IRWIN BACK
TO HONOLULU

William G. Irwin, head of the great
financial and shipping concern bearing
his name, returned in the Alameda
after an absence of nine months on the
mainland. He expresses himself as
much impressed with the substantial
growth San Francisco is making, which
he regards as part of the abounding
prosperity of the nation and not a
Fictitious boom of local origin.
Mr.. Irwin attributes the depression
in Hawaiian securities on the Coast
to the low sugar market as well as
suspension of dividends, but, while not
inclined to be too optimistic, antici-
pates an early improvement in prices.
He says that Claus Spreckels, who re-
Gently passed his 18th birthday in hale
condition, is talking about paying the
islands visit.

THE LOAN
Domestic Capital
Will Be First
Sought.

The Government is in a corner abou,
the issuance of bonds, even If Presiden,
Roosevelts approval of the Territorial
loan of 1903 were a foregone certainty
Yesterdays conference of the Governor
Treasurer, Secretary and Auditor end
ed in indeterminate counsels, all be-
cause the Legislature did not provide
for the bonds printing bill
we are confronted with the fact
Secretary Carter said after the meet
Ing, that there is not a cent of money
available to pay for the printing of the
bonds.
The Treasurer has but s225O for in
cidentals of his office for the six
months which is no more than has
teen absorbed usually, while he has
unusual expenses accruing in connec-
tor with the establishment of the in
suian department.
shere is no provision in any Of the
appropriation bills which can be legally
apphed to the printing and exploiting
OF the bonds. 1t had been suggested
that the needed amount might be talk
en- out of the proceeds of the bonds,
but none of the officials was ready to
conoeoe that this plan would be at all
proper.
II be Governor finally proposed that
the local bankers be seen about ad-
var cling money for the printing, under
a pledge that the next Legislature be
asked to reimburse them.
THE next question:" the Secretary
continued, was that of placing the
bonds in New York or Hawaii. Gov
ernor Dole thought it was a very
healthy condition for the Territory to
exhibit, when it's loans were taken up
by local people. Mr. Fisher and my
self thought it would be good idea
to try a million in New York, but the
Governor feared if the call for bids
struck a financial furry in Wall street
there would be no response. This he
thought would have bad effect on the
Territory's credit. He believed in try
Ing to sell the bonds here first.
Treasurer Kepoikai will accordingly
go out among the bankers and other
financial people tomorrow to ascertain
what are the prospects for raising the
loan at home"
The Treasurer is surprised that the
bid Of the American Bank Note Co.,
which has the plates for the Frame
work of the bonds already engraved
from former work. for the printing
should be very much higher than bids
from other concerns.

CAUGHT A MAN.
EATING SHARK

A gigantic man-eating shark, said to
be 80 feet long, was caught recently
near the buoy. With him was a small
pilot fish. The latter, and some of the
bones of the monster shark, have been
given to Mr.. C. B. Olsen. Other large
sharks have been disporting around
the buoy.
With the exception of a few finish
ing touches, the new tomb in the Hay
selden lot at Lahaina Cemetery is now

AN OLD.TIME
HONOLULU FEAST

1t is nearly forty years since the close
of the Civil War, the greatest conflict
of embattled hosts in modern history,
yet there are some kamaainas who re-
member the day that the bark d. c..
Murray flying all her flags and PEN
nants, sheets and pillow cases, appear
ed in the otiing bringing the news that
General Lee had surrendered at APP
pomattox. Kamehameha V. was King
and Mr.. Pierce was the American min
lister. A large majority of the Ameri-
can residents being natives of the
northern states fitting observance of
the close of the war was proposed.
Wilcox and Richards, who We're doing
business in the building now facing
Queen street, directly in front of the
boat landing, offered their store for
the occasion, and when the hour came
for touching off the celebration nearly
all the prominent residents of Homo

corps, We're assembled in the spacious
store. On the festal board was a
sumptuous array of the first things of

LEGISLATORS
CANNOT RUN
Sentiment Against
Mixing Two
Offices.


The legislator has been practlcally
eliminated as factor In the corning
county campaign. Neither the lte-
publican or Home hule parties VIII
stand for any member of the Hous'
or Senate butting in upon the county
ticket. The executive comnltteeI ol
both parties are opposed to the 'dea
and the ambitions OF the leSlslatois
who seek as well county oi1ces are
, likely to be nipped IN the bud
Not that the legislators themselves
do not want to hold county ONCE tor
there are three members or the lo"ef
house in Honolulu who are wl'llng 10
accept office within Oahu county Ihere
seems however to be a general senti-
ment in opposition to any mixture OF
Territorial with County po'''cs, anu
there Is likely to be objection on the
Lart of Republicans II present ONCE
holders, go after nominations except
ing places which the county at ttdns-
fers from Ierritorlal 1urlsulctloh' suSi

The objection to members OF tne
House and Senate running 1or ONCE is
not only to the implied prohlDitioii 'u
the Organic Act. This PROVIDES tnht

Prominent attorneys wlth'n the c.ty
have been consulted by members nt
the Legislature and OF the Repnoucah

unanimous opinion has been against
the position taken by Judge weaver.
They hold that the intent OF the c2m

was to keep members OF the leslsia-
ture from holding any other ONCE

ed to be even more emphatlc as the
county offices were created by the pres
ent Legislature and the salaries fixed
by the members OF the same body.
so that they were Practically leglS,at-
ing Tor their own beneht. Again, 1t IS
pointed out, that members OF the ieSis-
lature might possibly be called into
session again in case the count act
is knocked out, and then the legisla
tors who had been elected to county
office would be In position to pass
upon their own cases. Republicans and
Home Rulers can find manv reasons
not be permitted to be candidates aud
none at all IN favor OF 1t. The princl-
pal fear OF the Home Rulers Is that II
they do elect some of the members of
the House or Senate to county office.
