strychnine or anything that might be
strychnine in her trunks is absolutely
false. Nothing of the kind was dis
covered. We found a number of bot
ties of medicine that Mrs. Stanford had
brought with her. Most of them were
homeopathic remedies, a bottle of
Ponds Extract, some alcohol and minor
articles were found but there was moth
ing i'm which strychnine could appar-

cines which were to be taken inter-

glass bottles. We took charge of the
medicines, and expect to have them
analysed by the government chemists
as soon as they will have completed
their present work.

Bartlett water from her room One
of these bottles was fun and the others
were empty except for a little water

later.
Things are now hanging fire await

In making their Investigations into
the Stanford matter the local police
have been considerably handicapped by
a lack Of knowledge of the conditions
relating to the possible disposition Of
her fortune. In the consideration Of
the murder theory High Sheriff Henry
says that a complete knowledge of that
feature of the case would be necessary
The Sheriff does not yet hold to the
murder theory nor does he i'm fact care
to express any statement as yet re-
garding the probable cause of the death
of Mrs. Stanford, but he does think
that if he We're i'm possession of all the
facts relating to her fortune and whe-
Their anybody We're concerned i'm max
ing way with her his work would be
aided. The Sheriff says that he had
expected the report of the chemists to-
day but for some reason they are slow
arriving at any conclusion.
High Sheriff Henry has not placed
either Miss Berner or Miss Hunt under
surveillance. Deputy High Sheriff
Rawlins is at the Moana Hotel this af-
ternoon with Judge Stanley nvestigat-
ing the case further.

you are undoubtedly aware of the
existence of o. forest fire bon South Ko-
na. Hawaii which started ou the edge

the private land of I<uapuna. The
lataest Information received is that IL
started % short distance above the
Government road. extended mauka
distance of four miles and Is going
southwark. already spreading over am
area two miles in width. Thus il
must have extended into the Govern
ment land Of Kipahoehoe. and has
probably reached the upper portion of
the Alika Homesteads threatening
those Of Papa, i'm which the Buchhotz
estate is located
The Government Forester is on the
ground, bending every energy towards
its control Unless checked, fire will
spread to the upper Government lands
Of Honomalino, and burn its way
through some of the most valuable koa
forests i'm that district
1T is not only the immediate actual
loss Of wealth, but the after effects
on the rainfall and climatic conditions
should be considered, and i'm this cris-
is, / submit for your consideration the
immediate passage of am Emergency
Bill, providing for an appropriation
under the Board of Agriculture and
Forestry Of an item for the suppress
sion Of forest fires of 100000.
There is a map i'm this office show
