FORT STREET WOR X
ON RAPID TRANSIT

Manager Ballentyne gives notice in
this paper that after p. M, beginning
today, Beretania street and Nuuanu
avenue cars will run only to King on
Fort street.
1t is intended to start construction
of the Rapid Transit Cos Nuuanu line
on Fort street next Monday morning.
The public can greatly facilitate the
matter of construction if they will be
good enough to avoid using Fort street
but as little as possible while the work
is in progress. Manager Ballentyne
says that compliance with this sugges-
ton will be greatly appreciated.
It is hoped to have the Waialae road
line ready for opening on Saturday of
next week. This line will be known
by the name just mentioned, to avoid
rivalry between Kaimuki and Palolo. or
any other suburban tracts which
might occasion diverse and confusing
nomenclature.

Treasurer A. n Kepoikai yesterday
did answer Secretary Geo. r. Carter's
questioning cablegram of the day pre-
vious 1t was in the words above
quoted.
H E. Cooper, Superintendent of Pub
lie Works, said regarding the matter of
the Territorial loan yesterday:
81 do not see why it should not be
subscribed for, as much as may be
taken. OF course we can only use as
much money as can be economically ex-
pended.
''The s75OO0O authorized in the mes
sage to Mr.. Carter was meant to be
issued at once. This authorization diff
fered from the original arrangement.
which was to issue only s250,00O at once,
$500, 900 in January and $3.50, 900 in April,
making one million altogether divided
between the different periods.
There is no need, however, for any
limitation on tenders for the bonds.
These may be for many times the "a
mount of the entire issue. 1t frequent
1y happens that public loans are over
subscribed"
Mr.. Cooper's attention was called to
an article in an evening paper which
limited at someone not named as being
suspected Of obstructing, for personal
ends, the mission of Mr.. Carter. He
characterized the article as ridiculous
if aimed at himself.
ST was one who urged Mr.. Carter to
go East onsthis business - Mr.. Cooper
said. "Is it likely that I should OBJ
struct him in selling the bonds, when it
is my own department that the pro-
ceeds of the loan will chiefly benefit?"

JAP HELD UP BY A
BICYCLE HIGHWAYMAN
Chinese Footpad Puts Bullet in Victim and
Stabs Him During Broad DayIight---Bad
Chnaman Who is Supposed to Have Com
mitted the Crime Arrested.

A highwayman on bicycle yester-
day robbed a japanese at Aiea in
broad daylight, shooting him and then
slashing the Jap across the throat with
knife when he demurred to the de-
mand for his money.
All Kit, Chinese with bad record,
is under arrest and may be charged
with the crime. although he denies his
guilt very strenuously.
The robbery was particularly bold
and cold-blooded. The Jap, according
to the story telephoned from Aiea, was
walking peaceably along the road, just
beyond the Honolulu plantation and
below Pukakai hill, when he was stop
ped by a Chinese riding a wheel The
Chinese jerked a revolver out and
pointing it at the japanese, demanded
his money. The Jap either did not
understand or else was too frightened
to comply with the request. At any
rate he made no move to obey the order,
and without further parley, the Chinese
pulled the trigger. The telephone mes
sage did not state where the bullet
took effect, although the Jap was
wounded. The highwayman then
rified his clothes, taking all the money
he had on his person and then cut the
Jap's throat, leaving him for dead. as
he rode away.
The assault took place about three
o'clock and the wounded japanese was
not discovered until an hour or more
later, when passing men found hin
living, alongside the road. He was
removed to the Aiea hospital, and wa:
then still conscious. He told tht
above story to the police, and it wa:
telephoned to Honolulu about five
o'clock yesterday afternoon. Deput!

Fire broke out in the large two-story

Five streams of water were being
poured on the fire within a very few
minutes but the blaze was very hot.

made hurried exit with their goods
from the building itself and those i'm
mediately surrounding it. The fire

escaping from a second story window
left behind a cat. In few minutes the

jumped TO the ground, a distance of
perhaps fifteen feet, and escaped.
