Mr.. BOWLER
TALKS BACK
Answers the Maui News
on Wailuku School
Building.

John f. Bowler, referring to iibe
at him in the Maui News, says that
before he figured on the Wailuku
schoolhouse he had strongly advocated
brick as the best material. Among
others he had spoken to on the subject
was Architect C. w. Dickey.
Mr.. Bowler denounces the proposed
construction Of rubble as utterly unfit.
Tt will not bind and, as the Wailuku
stone is very porous, the walls in wet
weather will absorb moisture to an
amount that will certainly produce set
ting. If the building is made of rub
bic, he contends, there will be a fancy
extra added to the contract price for
Turing to hold the inside plastering
Brick, on the other hand, will take the
plaster without anything between. In
case of fire burning out the inside, the
rubble walls would be destroyed, while
brick with cement on the outside could
be saved and used over again. Either
brick or concrete will resist moisture,
but. soft Hawaiian stone sops it up like
sponge.
He points to structures of brick and
concrete on Maui which have stood for
years without showing deterioration,
when rubble foundations and walls had
to be abandoned from their early col
Iapsing. Sugar mill structures were
mentioned in point. Another evidence
he quotes in his argument is the be-
havior of Hawaiian stone, meaning the
more porous kind. in Honolulu build
ings as compared with brick and con-
crete. He claims that the soft stone
buildings are always damp in wet
weather, the moisture working through
to destroy the plaster of the interiors.
Another thing Mr.. Bowler alleges is
that, in the Chinatown fire, the native
stone curbings flew into pieces under
the heat.
Mr.. Bowler is willing to leave the
question of the Waikiki schoolhouse
to other experienced builders of Ho-
nolulu. For all the difference in cost,
brick or concrete would, in his opinion
be cheaper to the Government in the
long run than rubble.

SLOW WORK IN
KILLING A HORSE

Those who happened to be in the
vicinity of the Hackfeld wharf at 1880
p m. yesterday were startled by a pis-
toll shot. Shortly afterward another
shot was heard. Looking in the direc-
ton of the firing it was seen that a
mounted police officer was trying to
kill a horse. Seven shots We're fired at
the poor animal, in fact it was being
fired at as if it was a wooden target.
Blood was running in two streams from
its nostrils, and the portion of the
wharf on which it stood was covered
with blood. The seven shots did not
Kill the animal. The officer did not
have any more cartridges, so, to end
the animals suffering, it was blind
folded, and two men with sIedge
hammer took turns in striking it in the
forehead. Three blows were given be-
fore the horse fell down.

HANCOCK IS
IDENTIFIED
The Hotel Suicide
a Virginia
Boy.
The Relatives Write to
Claim His Re-
mains.
Deceased Had a Sister and Uncle
Living in WytheviIIe.
Virginia.

William Hancock, the young man
who killed himself at the Hawaiian
Hotel on New Years morning, has been
finally identified as a virginian. A let
ter was received in the last mail from
an uncle of the suicide enclosing pho
tograph which bore startling likeness
to the dead man.
Hancock was not a fictitious name as
had been supposed. The young mans
real name was William Stuart Hancock
and he was a pharmacist by profess
sion. The letter received by the hotel
management was from julius A.
Brown, an uncle of the deceased living
in Wytheville, Virginia, and himself
druggist.
Brown wrote that he had read the
account of the suicide in New Or
leans paper and believed that the dead
man was his nephew. He denied how
ever that young Hancock was user
of morphine and said that his only bad
habit was the excessive use of cigar
cites. Mr.. Brown wrote also that Han
cock was a model young man, that he
was honorable and honest, sober and
truthful and a perfect gentleman in ev-
cry way. He inquired also as to the
disposition of mis- property, saying that
when he left home he had been well
provided with funds and also had
valuable gold watch and expensive
jewelry on his person.
Mr.. Brown wrote that Hancock was
born twenty-five years ago in Russell
County, Virginia, and was a son of
Aker Hancock, now deceased. The
young man was an orphan, and his
closest relative was sister, Miss Car
RE Hancock, who also lives in Wythe-
vile. The young man was educated at
the Ohio State University and grad
uated as pharmacist in 1902. He was
employed for time in New York but
was compelled to resign a year ago on
account of ill-heaIth, and made trip
to Central America. While there he
contracted lung fever and went to New
Orleans for treatment. From that city
he wrote to his uncle saying that his

CLASSIC
The TREES
Many Varieties Are
to Be Seen
Here.
Tourists Anxious to Get
Homes in Private
Families.
Promotion Committee Preparing
List OF Residences for
Visitors.

Hawaii has perhaps a greater and
more beautiful variety of trees than
any other tropical country. It is va
riously estimated that there are from
one hundred and fifty to two hundred
varieties of trees in Honolulu alone
and the Hawaii Promotion Committee
is extremely anxious now to exhibit
some of these wonders of a tropical
climate to visiting tourists. Almost
since Tourist Headquarters We're first
opened there has been a steady inquiry
on the part of visitors as to the name
of this and that tree found in different
parts of the city. The plan that has
fruit, foliage and forest and SO mark
them as to make them known to any
one who chances to see them. In Ka-
piolanf Park, Thomas Square and other
trees, some of which can be found in
no other country. In addition there are
many private residence grounds filed
with rare trees, all of them of inter
few of them. 1t is the wish of the Ha-
wall Promotion Committee to have
these trees made accessible to every
tourist, whether in public or private
grounds. The foliage here is unusually
rich and many of the trees are of the
Towering kind, which accounts for a
good deal of the interest shown by Wis
itors to the city.
What the Promotion Committee de-
sires to do is to secure a list OF all the
varieties of trees in the city and have
it printed for distribution. Each tree
is to be numbered in the catalogue and
a corresponding mark is to be placed
near the tree, so that the variety can
be told by a glance at the prepared
list.
The Promotion Committee is also ex-
tremeIy DESTROYS of securing lists of
furnished houses or rooms which can
be rented. Many inquiries have come
recently, both from the mainland and
from tourists-in the city, for private
residences away from the down town
streets. Secretary Boyd has request III
that residents who expect to leave their
houses unoecupied~ for any length of
time, and who will accommodate Wis
itors, to make him acquainted with the
fact. Many people who are anxious TO
come to the islands prefer home life
and have written, asking if rooms can
be obtained at private residences or
whether houses can be leased furnish
ed for short periods.

NEGLECT ALWAYS DANGEROUS.

To the average man it seems childish
to doctor cold, and unless it becomes
particularly annoying to him. little or
no attention is given it. Often a cold
contracted in the winter is allowed to
run until the opening of spring. This
is grave mistake, as even though the
warm weather may bring relief, the
system is thereby weakened and rem
dered susceptible to disease. a cold
should never be neglected, whether it
be a child or an adult who is afflicted,
as health and often life is rislzed. a

health was gone and that he was going
West to die. He evidently came i'm
mediateIy to Honolulu and put up at
the Hawaiian Hotel.
The uncle also inquired as to the
disposition Of the body and property
of the young man. Evidently Han
cock had been in bad luck for he had
none of the jewelry enumerated by the
uncle, when he died, and it is believed
that he was compelled to part with his
possessions in order to support himself.
Information has been sent to Brown
of the disposition of the body and also

Ia view Of the reports received here
of Japanese activity in Korea and Of
the arrival Of japanese troops on the
