Pioneer Mill CO. for three and half
years, among other hydraulic works,

Ogata as contractor. a very faithful

wards lost his life in the tunnel. Credit

the heavy machinery and installing
most of the plant. under directions. Mr.
WaIdeyer is the fourth contractor who
has. beer. employed on this tunnel. the
cost of which has been from $3.50 to
500 per foot. and he has duly driven
the tunnel on the line and grade direct

Moved either as engineer or expert.
The other tunnels have also been

Trial of S. MahauIu
One Running
Fight.

/ stephen Mahaulu's trial for empez-
element of public funds made but slow
progress before Judge Gear yesterday
Auditor Fisher was on the witness
stand morning and afternoon, testify
| ing with books and papers of the Pub
lie Lands Department, regarding the
1925 paid by Mary E. Clark and the
$4,000 paid by the Waianae Company
for certain land dues respectively,
which moneys the prosecution is at
| tempting to prove were converted by
| the defendant to his own use. The
evidence covered a period from June
Z, 1902, to the date of the Indictment.
| It was the same intermittent COM
bat over the competency, relevancy
| and admissibility of evidence which
| had characterized the trial from the
| beginning One sample of the proceed
| ings will suffice for the whole.
The ledger of land rents was intro
| duced, whereupon Mr.. Thompson OBJ
jected that its admission was incom-
petent in that the volume was not a
| book Of original entry. The court sus-
| tanned the objection.
Mr.. Prosser then questioned the wit
ness regarding the account of Mary E.
Clark on page 4O1. On this also be-
ing objected to, the Deputy Attorney
General argued that the evidence
sought to be presented was an adnnis-
sion by the defendant in his own hano-
writing
'sIt is not a book of original entry
I the court remarked.
1T does not matter whether or not
it is a book of original entry" Mr..
Prosser contended, tas it is an admis-
sion in the handwriting of the defend
ant. This is not brought before the
court as a book of original entry, but
as an admission in the defendants
handwriting, showing a sum of money
charged to Mary E. Clark on a certain
date"
ct only shows that ne has copied
that entry from another book the
court rejoined.
Mr.. Prosser again urged his conten-
ton of a distinction the proposed evil
dence had from that of a matter of
original entry. On which the court
ruled:
81 have no doubt that the objection
is we'll taken"
Mr.. Prosser persisted by way of pre-
senting an authority
1t was then 3:45 p. m. and the trial
was continued until 10 a. m. Monday.
The court adjourned until $50 the
same morning

INFLUENZA is always more or less
prevalent at this season of the year.
This disease is very similar to a severe
cold and if allowed to take its course
is liable to cause serious results. The
best treatment for influenza is to avoid
exposure and take ChamberIain's Cough
Remedy. This medicine gives imme-
date relief and if used as directed, will
ward off all dangerous consequences.

1t became known late this afternoon
that many of the undertakers OF the
east side have combined and have tripled

will see that outside undsrtakers are
called in wherever IL is possible. There
is a great scarcity OF hearses. and in
several instances today undertakers'
wagons had TO be pressed into service to
convey the bodies to the cemeteries.
There will be more than 300 funerals
