Trap Story Discrodited.
st. Petersburg: No information
reached the General Stan Monday
night regarding the reported ambush
ing of Russians at Pu.Lan-Tien, as
the result of which they we're alleged
to have lost 800 men.
The only thing of the least signifi-
canoe in this connection is the short
dispatch received from Major General
Karkevitch, which was sent on June
IL, the day the battle is said to have
occurred. General Karkevitch does
not mention the Pu-Lan-Tien fight, of
which the authorities presume he
would have heard had it occurred.
His dispatch only covers events up
to the proceeding day.
According to a Niuchwang dispatch
the Japanese, in an effort to check.
mate the Russian southwark movement
to relieve Port Arthur, was attacked
southeast of Shungnmaoya. After
slight fighting the Japanese are re-
ported to have made a false retreat,
the Russians holly following them,
when the Japanese made a flank move
ment, catching the Russians in trap.
The Russian losses in this report are
placed at 500 men.
Heavy Damage at Port Lrthur.
Niuchwang: A chinaman who was
smuggled by the Japanese into Port
Arthur to act as spy, escaped from
there seven days ago, was arrested at
Niuchwang Monday night, He said the
Russians were working a large force
of men day and night at repairing
the warships.
They expect that work will be done
completed in fortnight. Four crHs
ers Under Golden Hill (at the en-
trance of Port Arthur, have their guns
trained landward, to assist in repuls
ing a land attack Tho channel is
partly cleared, but Admiral Togo's
| blockade is effective.
Two armored trains. on board OF
which are mounted guns, landed from
! the Russian battleship Retvizan re
Gently, ran to a point near the Japan
csc lines and opened fire. The Jap
anese replied. and their shells badly
damaged the train. though it managed
to return to the Russian lines.
An enormous amount of damage
was done to the new town by thu
Japanese shells. The Russo-Chinest
bank is totally destroyed.

TO CABLE TANNING
ABOUT WEISBARTH
hackers OF HAWAIIAN VIKING
CONSIDERING ADVISABILITY OF
MAKING CABLE INQUIRIES.

Backers of Captain Weisbarth the
Hawaiian Viking are considering the
best methods to pursue to ascertain
some information regarding the move
ments of his vessel, the schooner La
Vinia.
Unless something be heard from him
within a day or so, a cablegram is to
be sent to Tanning island asking if
any trace of him has been found The
only thing which deters the Honolulu
hackers of WeisbaTth's expedition
from sending some sort of relief eX-
pedition after him, is the fact that he
is man of such infinite resources that
difficulties which would lay the aver
age man PROSTATE, would make no diff
ference to him Although the vessel
has undoubtedly run short of Provi-
sions, it is the belief of his hackers
that, in all likelihood, he has gotten
sufficient to keep him and his crew of
Palmyra Island or else he has gone to
some other island.

letters from Rev. Charles Isaias, who
was the pastor and leader of the re-
turning exiles, in which he says that
the older member of the party, which
is by far the larger number of them,
are very much delighted to be back in
their native islands and are very well
satisfied with their condition there.
Some of those who were born in Ha-
wall or who left the Gilbert Islands
when they were very young, find life
rather dull in that distant part of the
Pacific, and the food supply there does
not offer the same variety that they
had in Hawaii. Nevertheless, 1T is said,
they are getting accustomed to their
new home, though some of the young
er ones are making efforts to get back
to Honolulu, and some of them doubt
less will turn up here.

In our opinion the defendant could
be charged by regulation or appoint
ment as well as by law with the safe
keeping transfer or disbursement of
moneys. The cases cited by defense
are not in conflict with this view. In
none of the statutes construed i'm those
cases were the words regulation" or
appointment" used. In each of these
cases the question was whether the Of
ncer indicted was one who was charged
by law with the safe-keeping, etc. of
money. If, as we hold, an officer may
be so charged by regulation or appoint
ment as well as by law, the present
case is clearly distinguished from the
cases relied on by the defendant.
Nor do we think that the statute
which describes the duties of the sup
erintendent of water works would pre-
vent the clerk of the water works from
being charged by regulation or APP
pointment with the safe-keeping, trans
fer or disbursement of moneys. The
section referred to, G.. L. Sec. SIS, pro-
vides for the appointment of the sup
erintendent of water works whose
duty it shall be to keep the conduits
in repair; collect all water rates from
ships and persons i'm Honolulu, or it's
vicinity, and perform such other duties
in connection Herewith" as the super
intendent of public works may pres
cribe. 1t does not follow that be-
cause the superintendent of water
works is to collect" all water rates
from ships or persons in Honolulu or
its vicinity, the clerk of the water
works could not be charged with the
'safe-keeping' transfer or disbursement
of money so collected for such purposes
or from such persons, not to mention
other money, even If he could not be
so charged, within the meaning of the
statute, with the duty to collect" wa
ter rates by way of assisting the sup
erintendent of water works, the latter
being responsible for such collection.
The exception is overruled and the
case is remanded 10 the circuit court
for further proceedings"

"A considerable number of the Gilbert
Islanders who left here by the steam
ship Isleworth for the homes in their
native islands which they had not seen
for more than twenty years, have sent
to Rev. H. II. Parker of Kawaiahao
Church for their church letters. They
want to be dismissed from this old mis-
sionary church here, in order to unite
with the church in the Island of Ono
to. This island is one of the southern
most of the Gilbert group, and more of
the Gilbertese who lived so long in Ha-
waii were from this island than from
any other of the group.
The fact of their sending for their
church letters is taken as a sign that
they are satisfied, and expect to spend
the remainder of their days there.

Richardson Demurrer
Was OVer-RuIed
BUSINESS A DECISION
VIVIAN RICHARDSON THE FORMER
WATER WORKS CHARGED WITH EMBEzzIE-


The Supreme Court sat this morning
for brief spell and handed down it's
decision in the case of Edward Vivian
Richardson charged with embezzle-
ment while employed as clerk of the
Honolulu Water Works The matter
at issue was the exception to the over
ruling of a demurrer to the tndict-
ment charging Richardson with en-
bezzlement on the grounds "a that it
charged no offence against the law,
(2) that it was duplicitous and go va
que and uncertain.
The syllabus of the courts decision
is as follows
Indictment of officer for embezzle-
ment. Averment of appointment. In
an indictment of an officer for en-
bezZlement, it is not necessary to set
forth particularly i'm what manner or
by whom he was appointed
Duplicity: Under a statute relating
to embezzlement by officers and others
who are charged by law, regulation
or appointment" with the safe-keeping,
transfer or disbursement of money, II
is not duplicitous to aver i'm an indict-
ment that the officer was so charged
by 'law, regulation and appointment
instead of by only one of these methods
they not being inconsistent methods.
What officers liable: Under such a
statute, an inferior officer or clerk
whose Office or appointment is reocg-
nized by statute only i'm the apprOpria-
tion bill, is within the statute if he is
charged with the safe-keeping, etc. Of
money by regulation or appointment;
he need not be charged by law.
| Regulation or appointment not in
consistent with law: A clerk of the
water works may be charged by reg
ulation or appointment with the safe
| keeping, transfer or disbursement of
money although the superintendent of
water works is charged by law with
the duty to collect all water rates
from ships and persons i'm Honolulu or
it's vicinity"
| In the question raised as to the ap-
pointment or otherwise Of the accused
| the decision runs:

HILO, December ga. f. Tulloch
m old resident of this island, was kill
ed near his home at twenty-five miles,
Olaa, by the caving in of a bank on
Monday afternoon.
Mr.. Tulloch was one of the early set
tiers in Olaa and had tried coffee grow
ing with indifferent success, and when
the Olaa Sugar Co. was organized and
his land was considered too high up
to be of use for cane and was not
bought with other land in the vicinity
he began planting cane on his own ac-
count but the result was not salts
factory. Recently he abandoned the
cane and decided to cut down some of
the timber on his land and make chaT-
coal.
With this in view he began the con-
struction of charcoal pits on a rather
elaborate scale, turning dips into the
banks and then making tunnels eX-
tending for quite a distance into the
bank He had graded the tunnels and
was finishing up his work prior to lay
ing a wooden track when the bank
caved and he lost his life.
After partaking of luncheon with his
children he went to his charcoal pit at
the edge of the timber to resume his
work and as he did not return at five
O'Clock one of his boys went to the
place to ascertain why. He saw no
signs of his father but found that the
bank had caved in and in his frenzy
began digging at the earth with his
hands. He soon gave up and ran to in
form his sister who, in turn, notified
F. G. Snow, one of their nearest neigh
bors. Mr.. Snow called his men togeth-
er and with picks, shovels and hoes
hurried to the spot.

The route of the pit was long and it
was not known where Mr.. Tulloch was
working when the bank caved. 1t was
some time later when Mr.. Snow, dig
ging down near the end of the pit,
found one of Mr.. Tulloch's hands
reaching over his head. Careful dig
ging followed and the body, in an up
right position, was found, his arms
stretched as though he was trying to
shield himself rom the tons of dirt that
had started to fall.
When found the body was limp and
artificial respiration was attempted in
the hope that he might be brought to
life. This was continued until the ar
rival of DR.. Curtis and the limbs had
become stiff.
The remains We're brought to Hilo
on the morning train on Tuesday and
funeral services were held from the
Foreign Church at three o'clock in the
afternoon.
He was one of the best known of the
Olaa settlers, of a high moral charac-
ter and respected by everyone who
knew him. He was a promoter of tenn
perance mOvemnt among the Employer
of the Olaa Sugar Co., in whose employ
he was for some time as a wheelright.
His interest in small farming and cane
cultivation Gbrought him into pl omi-
nence with his neighbors and he was a
leading spirit in the movement to or
ganize a small company that would
handle the cane of the owners of lots il
upper Olaa, a plan which did not at.
tract much attention from the financial
men whom he believed would take hold
of the scheme and put it through

F. A. Schaefer Esq, Secretary Homo
lulu Sailors Home Society.
Dear Sir: In handing you the in
closed report l beg to call your at
tention to the balancing of accounts. L
have made this possible by an over
draft, or loan on my part of $222.95.
Aside from this the Treasurer of the
Society has paid electrict light bills for
service months. also about 800 for
repairs etc. For the benefit the EIec-
trio Light Co., receives from the arte-
sian well in our yard the matter OF
lights i'm addition to the water privi-
leges, would be small compensation.
All bills are paid with the exception OF
S32 for the sewer rates for 1904. l have
not settled this bill for two reasons.
one, that | have not the means. An
other, that l am not sure It is neces-
sary.
Although the home comes short OF
balancing all accounts at the close OF
thls' and last year you will notice by
the report that it is still a most usefuI
ana desirable beneficiary for this port.
When general business of the mort
reVives, permanent boarders such as
mechanics etc, will more or less solve
the problem of expenses, and the home
VIII still be available to all visiting
seamen.
