down Breed remained motionless until
some one came to him and found him
in the last throes of death. The man
who fired the shot was Frank Laugh

LIFE
BUOYS ON SONOMA
A NEW INVENTION WHICH MOST
OF THE sONOMA's PASSENGERS
LEARNED OF THE OTHER NIGHT

The unhappy fatality on the Sonoma
the night before she arrived in port,
was the occasion for the great major
ity of the passengers to learn the use
of the new illuminated life buoys which
have recently been invented and with
which the Sonoma is provided.
The buoy itself is an ordinary life
buoy placed at convenient places about
the deck. The illuminant is some sort
of carbide preparation which is in tin
can or pot fastened close to the buoy.
The directions for the use of this new
invention are that the can or pot of
carbide or whatever it is, is to be fast
ened to the buoy, the fastenings being
there all ready Then a hole is to be
punched in the can or pot with an awl
which is attached to the pot and then
buoy and pot are to be thrown into the
sea, just as an ordinary buoy would be,
as near as possible to the person who
has gone overheard
The minute the pot drops in the wa
ter and the water gets to the carbide
preparation, it flames up giving a very
bright light.
OF course the object is to enable the
person who has gone overheard, if he
is still conscious, to see where the life
buoy is and so make for it and have its
aid while the search party from the
vessel is making for him to rescue him.
1t is an aid to the search party too,
because if it has been promptly thrown
overheard it gives some indication of
where TO look, or at least of the direc-
ton in which to look
There is enough carbide preparation
in the pot to keep a flaming light for
two hours.
On the Sonoma, T. w. Hebron was
one of the first to know of the Distress
ing event that happened, and he was
one of the few who knew the workings
of the Illuminated buoy Instantly he
set to work, and in an incredibly short
time he had cut the buoy loose, fastened
the Illuminating pot to it, punched the
hole in the pot and thrown the whole
thing over. The sight of the buoy
floating on the water with the flaming
light was new to almost everybody
aboard and made deep impression on
the ships company

Cannot Take
Up Queen
Street Rails
MUST FIRST PROCEED
AGAINST RAPID TRANSIT, SAYS
THE COUNTY ATTORNEY.

The County supervisors have no pow
er at present to remove the car tracks
on Queen street, according to an opin-
ion given to the Board of Supervisors
by Deputy County Attorney Milverton.
The Board recently received a petition
signed by business men along the street
asking that the tracks be taken out,
and the matter was referred to the
County Attorney.
The opinion says that the tracks are
subject to removal if the company fails
to operate cars upon them, but that it's
contract is with the Territory and not
the County, and that the Territorial
government, which granted the fran
chise, has the control of the matter It
is up to the Territory to forfeit the
company's franchise, as far as the
unused street is concerned, and then
the County can remove the tracks.

STRONG LAW
TO REGULATE
AUTOMOBILES
SUPERVISOR LUCAS PROPOSES SOME REGULATIONS
FOR THOSE WANT TO RUN MOTOR CARs-sPEED LIMITS
FIXED AND NO ONE ALLOWED TO RUN AUTO


A cast iron ordinance to regulate
the operation of automobiles in Homo
lulu has been presented to the Board of
Supervisors by Supervisor Lucas and
referred to the county attorney for an
opinion as to it's legality. Besides
making speed limits of eight miles an
hour in town and four miles at cross
ings, it provides that no person shall
run an auto until he or she has passed
an examination and been given GER
tificate as a chaffeur. No car is to be
allowed to run on the streets at all un-
til it has been registered with the
police, except it be that of temporary
visitor.
The ordinance provides that owners
of motor cars shall secure registration
from the sheriff, who shall give each
one a number and a certificate of re-
gistration. The number is to be on
the car, and the figures are to be
four inches in height and painted in
black on a white background"

GAMBLING REsoRT-JUDGE WHITNEY GRANTED THE MOTION
MADE DEFENDANTS ATTORNEY FOR THE DISCHARGE OF
DEFENDANTS

1t is claimed that the prosecution has
not made out what in a civil case would
be called a prima facie case, against
the defendant Moore. The court finds
that the prosecution has not presented
any evidence which connects the de-
fendant Moore with the gambling game
in the resort on King street. Although
the court believes in the guilt of Moore
it does not find that the prosecution
has presented evidence which will con-
meet the defendant with the conduct of
the gambling game on King street
The court has sufficient faith in this
prosecution in this territory to believe
that justice will in this instance even-
tually be done. The defendant Moore
is discharged"

MUST COME BACK
FROM THE COAST
TRANSPORT MEN UNDER ARREST
AT SAN FRANCISCO ARE TO BE
INDICTED HERE.

The federal grand jury has complet-
ed it's investigation of the Sherman bad
money cases and as a result of the
jury's Investigations two men who are
held by the authorities in San Francis
co will probably be sent back here to
answer to charges of possession of
counterfeit money with intent to de-
fraud. The two men were arrested
when the Sherman arrived at San
Francisco, on cables sent from here by
Marshal Hendry.
The federal jury will report next
week. The two men under arrest in
San Francisco have been ordered de-
ported, and this probably means that
they have been indicted by the jury
here. OF those taken from the trans
port here there are three still in Gus
today, and indictment against them
may also be returned.
The Camp Mckinley counterfeitine
cases were before Judge Dole in this
mornings session of court Private j
T. Cooper pleaded guilty to the indict-
ment charging him with making ten
dollar pieces. A second count in his in
dictment charging him with possess
sion of bad money, was nolle pressed
by United States Attorney Dunno. Sen
tence was deferred.

charge of possession of counterfeit
money. Hogan appeared for him. Sen.

The supervisors, under the terms of
the ordinance, are to appoint an exa-
miner of chaffeurs and anyone who

not less than II years of age, must be
familiar with the terms of the or
dinance and must demonstrate to the
satisfaction of the examiner that they
can start, stop, reverse and generally
show ability to quickly handle motor

amined specially as to steam, gasoline
and electric motor cars, according to
which they may happen to want to
operate.

Something in that way runs the
account of the ban which the
Cardinal Lord Archbishop of
Rheims put on the thief who had
stolen his ring, according to the
altogether delightful Ingoldsby,
but even the Cardinal Lord Arch
bishop of Rheims was outdone
this morning.
At the corner of King and Fort
streets this morning stood the
poor old blind man who blows
the bamboo whistle. Kaena Ma
wal is his name. He stood there
with his sightless eyes turned
upwards towards the heavens
and cursed Portuguese boy
whom he called "AEoni Pakoa,"
otherwise known as Antoine Pan
tone.
In fluent Hawaiian he called
the power of light and darkness
to take this Portuguese boy in
hand for having worried and
abused him. He exhausted all
of his vocabulary on that parti-
cular object and then he refilled
the walls of his wrath in order to
spill them again over the heads
of Portuguese boys in general.
Fortunately passers-by of the
haole persuasion could not un-
derstand what he said.
The poor old fellow paused for
breath and then he began to
drone out a curse on the head Of
some policeman who had told
him the Roman Catholic Cathe-
dral was on fire. Having finish
ed with the individual police
man, he went ahead with all po-
licemen.
An obliging Hawaiian inter-
preted.
He says that he is a good
Catholic" said the interpreter,
"and that he asked a policeman
what was the noise going on.
The policeman told him that the
Catholic church was on fire, but
ne went up and II was not on
fire. He goes to church twice
every day. He cursed the Portu-
guese boys because they are al
ways worrying him, he says, and
he thinks that his prayers will be
answeded. The one he calls
'Akoni Pakoa, he says, is the
worst"
At the mention of the name the
whistle man rose like a giant
refreshed and the Recording An
gel, who probably understands
Hawaiian, had a busy five min
utes jotting down an entirely
new and original set of curses.
Then the old man wandered up
the street mumbling to himself,
but Akoni Pakoa will rest un-
easily tonight.

Charlie Moore, Sam Apoliana and
Hirano the alleged keepers of a gam
bling joint, were discharged in the
police court this morning by Judge
Whitney. The discharge of the de-
PENDANTS was upon motion for dis
missal made yesterday afternoon by
their attorney Frank Thompson.
Judge Whitney went into a discuss
sion of the details of the case against
Apoliana and Hirano but announced
the discharge of Moore, in rather brief
words. The decision in the gambling
cases was the first business in the court
today.
"The evidence against the defend
ants" said the court places Moore in
one class and the other defendants
Apoliana and Hirano in another class.
The motion to dismiss the defendants
is not based upon any question of the
credibility of the witnesses but il
relates entirely to a matter of law.
