"Why was it impossible for the pas
sengers. to make pins for the row.
locks to fit?
"Why were the life preservers made
of reeds and not of cork?"
Mr.. Bunker opened so of these life
preservers which fioated into the
rocks near where he was, and found
them all the same. He also asks:
"Why did six members of the crew
land near Cape Beale in one of the
ships boats without passengers?
"Why did the Queen and two tugs
which stood near the wreck on
Wednesday leave her to her fate?"
One hour after they left the wreck,
he said, the remains of the steamer
collapsed and more than so persons
foated to sea, with no one to pick
them up.
Alfred Willis Makes Charges.
Alfred Willis of Spokane, an erdi-
nary seaman of the United States ship
Pensacola, aged 16, was one of the
survivors and tells a story of hard
ship that makes the blood curdle He
was in the second boat. and when it
was launched found that the plugs
would not fit. He could find no other
plug and used his hand as a plug to
prevent the boat from filling and
sinking The boat was washed through
the surf and was capsized. He was
washed to the shore and drawn out
three times by the undertow, but fin
ally caught his pants on piece Of
jagged rock and held. He is in very
bad shape, but came over the trail
in fine style.
No better example of discipline was
ever shown than when Willis arrived
at Pachena bay and saw Lieutenant
Colville of the United States ship
Grant. Recognizing his superior Off
Ger, he calmly saluted, and said:
Lieutenant, l report, sir. 1t was,
indeed it was, pitiful scene" He is
loud in his praise for Mr.. Bunker, who
kept the party of survivors in good
spirits, and also to the rescue party
from the Salvor, to whom he gives
the credit of saving his life.
He Is most emphatic in condemning
the officers and equipment of the life
boats. In number two boat there was
no one who understood it's manage
ment, and it was steered by fire
man. The wooden oarlocks broke at
the first stroke of the oars

Why These Serious Faults?

Mr.. Bunker says that in his opinion
there are several questions that re-
quire answering in connection with
the disaster, as follows:
~Why were boatloads of passengers
loaded into the water without crews
to man or officers to command?
why was there no discipline among
officers and men?
why were the plugs for the bot
tom of the boats not made to fit?

SAYS He STOLE
A BUTCHER SHOP
YOOzO SUES A FELLOW COUNTRY
MARKET

Uchiyama Yoozo has brought a suit
against Takahashi Kotaro for $1,000
damages and $49O for the loss of a
Waialua butcher shop, which the plain
tiff declares was taken from him by
defendant without authority. YoOzo
says that Kotaro assumed to show him
the authority of a district magistrate
6or taking possession of the shop.
Yoozo was new to the country and
ignorant of the law but anxious to
obey its mandates and he allowed Ko-
taro to take possession, when as a mat
ter of fact there was no authorization
for so doing, says the complaint.
Yoozo says that the shop was torn
down and that its value was $3.50. He
asks this sum and 81 800 damages. p
L. Weaver is his attorney.

ANOTHER VICTIM
IDENTIFIES COLON
PRISONER EMILY
HINi-PoLIcE WAITING THE CONDITION OF
CoLoNs VICTIMS BEFORE CHARGING HIN.

No charge has been preferred against
Montaro Colon the murderous Porto
Rican knife wielder He is being de-
tanned at the police station pending the
condition of his latest Japanese VIC
Tins. No charge is to be preferred a.
gainst the man until the condition Of
these victims either terminates fatally
or else they are out of danger of death.
In the meanwhile Colon is being
"sweated" by the police and the evil
dence against him is being worked up.
The police are making a strong case
against the man. Not only has the
evidence Of his having stabbed Mrs.
Akahoshi and Shizo early Monday
morning been definitely secured, but
evidence of other similar crimes COM
mitted by Colon is being secured. This
morning a Japanese named Tanaka was
taken to the cell of Colon to see whe-
ther the prisoner was the same man
who had slashed Tanaka across the
face the early part of this month.
Tanaka stated that he believed Colon
was his assailant. The walk, height.
and general features of the prisoners
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1906-10-17

face were identical with those of his
assailant.
The cutting of Tanaka was fully as
wanton as that of Mrs. Akahoshi. The
Japanese man was employed as a night
watchman in a building on Beretania
street near River. He discovered a
man trying to get under the building
and inquired his business. For reply
the man drew a knife and slashed the
Japanese across the right side of the
face and ear and then escaped in the
darkness.
Colon is one of the most dangerous
criminals that has ever operated in
these islands Aside from the mere
work of committing robbery, he goes
armed and always goes with the inten-
tion of doing murder if there is any
prospect of his being apprehended. In
fact the man attempts murder upon the
slightest provocation. With such Il
criminal at liberty life in the COM
munity is unsafe. He is a criminal
who invades the house after nightfall
to bring possible death to any of the
inmates who may interfere with him
in his acts of robbery.

MORE EVIDENCE
AGAINST COLON
VICTIM IDENTIFIES
THE WATCH FOUND ON COLON
WHEN HE WAS ARRESTED.

A watch which was found on Mon
taro Colon, the Porto Rican who was
arrested as the murderous burglar by
the police yesterday, was taken up
to the Japanese who is lying at Deaths s
door at the Japanese Hospital and It
was Unidentified by him as his watch
which was taken the night that he was
stabbed.
The condition of the Japanese has not
improved much. There is but small
hope for his recovery. He has made
complete ante-mortem statement
which has been typewriter and then
read back to him. He swore to it be-
fore a notary.
When arrested Montaro Colon was
found to have on him two silver watch
es. 1t was one of these that was so
completely identified by the Japanese
victim this morning,
The case against Colon at present is
very strong. Unless he can prove that
he is not the man that both of the
wounded Japanese swear he is, un-
less he can explain why the Japanese's s
watch was found on his person and
why he was so anxious to avoid arrest
it will go hard with him.
The Japanese nurse is a little better
than she was yesterday and it is
thought that she will now recover.

Three wives and twenty-five children
comprise the family of which Goo
Akuna is the honored head, and he is
looking after them all and according
to all accounts, is a good husband and
a good father all round. In spite of his
domestic virtues, however, he has been
arrested by the federal authorities and
will have to take a sentence for un-
lawful cohahitation.
Goo is a wealthy and influential
Chinese of Makawao Maui. AS soon
as he found himself in the tolls and
learned that his wives had been sub
poenaed as witnesses he hastened to
offer to plead guilty let the women
stay at home and look after the chill
dren," he said, "I'll plead guilty"
Wireless messages were at once sent
to Maui, giving notice that the women
were not wanted as witnesses, and Goo
Akuna expresses himself as satisfied to
plead guilty and throw himself upon
the mercy of the court, or if the court
is too severe, to ask paNon of Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
Reminds me of Mark Twain's mig
gers comment on Solomon" said a
court employe this morning. "The mig
ger when he heard that Solomon had
over a hundred wives said he didn't see
why Solomon didn't start a biler fac
tory if he wanted noise, because he
could stop the factory when he had
enough
Goo married his first wife. a Hawaii
an woman, 25 years ago. She had ten
children, all of whom are growing up
as citizens of Maui. Ten years ago
Goo married a Chinese woman and six
more children came into the world to
call him father. The home appears to
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1906-10-17

have been a happy one bat Goo Akuna
was evidently not satisfied and about
three years ago he took third spouse,
a Hawaiian woman. She increased the
population of the happy home at the
start, for she had four adopted chill
dren. Goo took them all in. Two
more were born, making total of
twenty-five children for Goo to look
after.
1t was the last so-called marriage
that got Goo into trouble. The matteT
was reported to District Attorney
Breckons and he began a prosecution.
AS a rule prosecutions in such cases, If
the cases are of long standing, are not
undertaken, the policy apparently be-
ing not to disturb old family relations
of ante-annexation days, even if they
are trife irregular. But the last mar
riage was subsequent to annexation
and was clear violation of the fed
eral law. so Goo Akuna will have to
suffer for his too great anxiety to
found a family.
Goo insisted upon taking his medi
cine as soon as he was arrested. He
was ready to plead guilty of any old
thing if the wives could only be left
free to look after the children. The
penalty for the offense with which he
is charged is light, the maximum be-
ing six months imprisonment, so that
however severely Judge Dole may look
upon his offense Goo will soon be back
in the bosoms of his families, so to
speak, and will be hustling again for
means to provide for three wives and
twenty-five children. Goo appears to
be suspiciously anxious to go to Jail,
but this is not thought to have any
thing to do with the fact that three
wives await him at Makawao.

n; in 1906, so; japanese in 1904, 8; in
1906, 1. This shows that there has been
a big increase in Hawaiians and a de-
