Murder In the first degree is the
charge against Katsutaro Takamatsu
a Japanese. who is alleged to be the
slayer of Kawabe Igoro, for ten years
a section boss for the Oahu Railway
& Land Co., the crime taking place
early yesterday morning in one of the
Japanese camps near Kahuku. The
alleged murderer occupied a cell at
the Honolulu police station last night.
Owing to failure of Sheriff Brown to
get In touch with Deputy Sheriff ke-
kuoha of Hauula yesterday the man
was brought to Honolulu with hand
cuffs on, placed there early in the day
by a country police officer. AS there
were no keys at the station to fit
the steel wristlets they had to be filed
off by the turnkey.
GUARDED BY A BOY.
1t was reported to Sheriff Brown
yesterday morning by f. c. Smith.
General Passenger and Ticket Agent
of the o. r. & L. Co., that at Kahuku
on Saturday night or Sunday morn
ing his section boss, Igoro, had been
murdered The Sheriff Immediately
made arrangements to go to the scene
in an auto, and with C. A. Doyle of
the Attorney Generals Department. he
left Honolulu at 10 a. m. The Sheriff
had been informed that the man who
had done the murder was in the GUS
tody of Deputy Sheriff Kekuoha, and
was in custody at Laie. Arriving at
The Mormon settlement, japanese
was found sitting on veranda of the
Deputy Sheriff's house with handcuffs
on and in charge of a small boy. The
Japanese. who answered to the name
of Katsutaro Takamatsu, said he had
had fight, but was too drunk to re-
member much, although he thought he
had killed some one.
| TOLD SHERIFF TO WATT
Sheriff Brown sent a police officer
who had accompanied him from Ho-
nolulu. to look for the Deputy Sheriff
He located him at the Mormon church,
and after informing the Deputy that
the Sheriff was on the ground and
waiting for him, Kekuoha's answer
was: "Tell Brown to wait" The
Sheriff Immediately took the prisoner
who said he would show the place
where the act was committed, and
also tell who was present.
Arriving at Kahuku Brown was in
formed by DR.. Bruce McC. Mackall
physician for Kahuku plantation, that
on Saturday night he was called out
about a. IN. by some japanese who
said that some men of Camp No. 1C
had been badly hurt. He Immediately
went down to the railroad depot and
awoke Mr. Gill, who had charge OF
the train, got up steam and started
for the place. Arriving they found the
japanese Kawabe dead and cold. The
alleged murderer was there also, held
/ prisoner by other Japanese of the
camp. Mr. Gill placed Katsutaro
under arrest and took him back to Ka'
huku and turned him over to the

MAUI SEES
TW|S[ERs

on Sunday morning two waterspouts
were seen on the windward side OF
Maui. the Maui News OF Saturday
says.
one was near the spot where the
ship Spartan was wrecked some
months ago. 1t was unusually large
and was OF straight. well-dehned
form and very large, The clouds dip
ped down in the shape of funnel.
while the sea lifted up to meet the
cloud. and the whirling masses were
soon united, forming one OF the grand
est sights of the torrid zone. The
force of the waterspout was so great
that the sea was lifted high into the
air and the boiling mass of water ad-
jacent TO 1t could be seen for many
miles distant.
Many residents OF Wailuku and Wal
hee were eyewitnesses to the grand
sight.
About the same time that the first
one was seen in active operation. a
cloud btween Kahului ana waihee,
almost opposite Paukukalo, was seen
to be dipping down toward the sea,
and the sea to rise underneath. In
short time they, too, were united,
forming beautiful column.
David A. Christiansen, head water
F, luna OF Waihee, and Representative
w. ]. Coelho were among the favored
| ones to see the grand sight, but words
failed them to express the grandeur of
| the scene.
About this time q whirlwind of un-
usual violence crossed the sand hills
below town, doing some damage. but
| seemed to decrease In violence as 1t
crossed the isthmus. At the lower
end of town. right near the residence
of A. G. Dickens, is the thtec-rooMcu
cottage of Kainea. This was i'm the
direct path of the tornado and the
| house was lifted from Its foundation
and shifted about three feet from 1t.
| Kainea was in his chicken house at
the time and. hearing the roaring of
the oncoming wind, ran to the fence
and after a hard struggle caught hold
of post and succeeded In holding on
to II until the wind passed.
The chicken house, chickens and all
were carried off and scattered among
the taro patches. Many OF the chick
ems were killed and others were Grip
pied.

and being crushed i'm air was strewn
in bits along the route of the whirl-
wind
The whirlwind struck the new
knights of Pythias building, smashed
the show windows OF the Maui Wine
and Liquor Company. as well as some
of the bottles of liquor, adding their
contents to Its gyrating volume.
ID. l.. Meyer. the manager, was In
the building at the time, and he says
he made frantic efforts to get out.
Dawes explanations were not very
clear as to what he did, but they are
probably as clear as anyone would be
able to give when visited by tor
nado for the first time.
A short time after the tornado pass
ed by heavy downpour of rain was
experienced In Wailuku. which was
one of the heaviest ever known there,
1t lasted but few minutes.

Irritating Eczema, Itching Piles;
You're looking for relief,
Searching for a cure.
Honolulu people have found a cure
for itching skin diseases.
They tell about 1t. Read what this
citizen says:
Mr.. ii. Ryall, OF No. II. Grosvenor
St, South Yarra, very old resident
OF Melbourne. Australia. states:
For some considerable time l have
been a sufferer from that annoying
complaint known as irritating piles. At
times the irritation was very annoying,
especially at night, and in the warm
weather. / applied some of Doan's
Ointment, which ] had obtained and
| am pleased to say that 1t gave me
the desired relief from this annoying
disease"
Doan's Ointment is splendid In all
diseases of the skin: Eczema, piles,
hives, insect bites, sores, cnilblains, etc.
IT Is perfectly safe ana very effective.
Very frequently two or three boxes
have made a complete cure of chronic
cases that have not yielded to other
remedies for years.
Doan's Ointment is sold by all chem
lists and storekeepers at SO cents per
box, or will be mailed on receipt of
price by the Hollister Drug Co., Ltd.
agents for the Hawaiian Islands.

KILLED HIS
COUNTRYMAN

plantation policeman, who. however,
refused to have anything TO do with
him. but gave them a pair OF hand
cuffs. These were put on the prisoner
and he was locked up In box car.
BODY IN HOT ROOM.
The Deputy Sheriff went over to Ka'-
huku at a. IN. and took charge OF
the murderer. He also told the Japa-
nese at the camp not to touch the body
of the dead man. as he would return
on Monday morning at 10 a. m. and
hold the coroner's inquest. The Japa-
nese did not like this order. The
room in which the man lay was hot
and stuffy and the man was covered
with blood. There were many women
and children about, but all respected
the order.
Sheriff Brown got the jurors to-
gether They were w. N. Peterson.
james ]. Bowling, c. Christoffersen.
w. Anderson, r. d. Bicknell and f.
w. Mage.
Evidence was taken from the wit
nesses Mr.. Doyle acting as Japanese
Interpreter The first witness called
was Ito. who swore that he was In a
loom at the camp together with four
or five other japanese. All had been
drinking. Kawabe, the section boss,
had demonstrated with them, and es-
pecially l<atsutaro. Ito came in and
put Katsutaro out of the room. Kat
sutaro, however, returned with long
knife and Immediately attacked the
section boss. stabbing him in the
right side. Murakami and Hashimoto
testified to the same facts.
PUNCTURED THE LIVER.
DR.. Mackall testified as to the con-
dition of the dead mans body. There
was a well-formed wound in the right
side, the wound having penetrated
through the liver. 1t was 1-2 inches
deep and one inch long. The cause OF
death was hemorrhage of the liver
There were several bruises on the
body He had fitted the knife which IA
alleged to have been used by Katsu-
taro, and 1t appeared to have been thu
weapon used.
The jury returned a verdict to the
effect that Kawabe came to his deatf
at Kahuku on April l, 1906, from q
wound in his right side puncturing
the liver and causing hemorrhage, tn,
same cut being made with a knife ir
the hands of one Katsutaro Taxa
matsu.
MURDERER ADMITS CRIME.
The murderer admitted to the police
officers that he believed he had killed
Kawabe.
The Sheriff and party, with theii
prisoner, returned to Honolulu las
night on the Haleiwa Limited. Th,

dence and critically observed the man.
ner of witnesses, as well as taken mo-
tice of the atmosphere surrounding the
case. he was bound to say, as he felt,
that the verdict was Just one.
Defendants had power under the
statute (Act 75) to have pressed the
case to the jury the evening after evil
dence was concluded or to have de-
manded under the same statute that
the jury should be segregated and
locked UP until its verdict was rem
dered. Either or both these courses
would have kept the jury from read
ing the publications in question.
Another remedy for defendants was
to have moved, the morning after the
first publication, for a mistrial. On
this suggestion he offered no comment,
nor on Magoon's contention that the
remarks" were not on the facts
though the court was much impressed
thereby.
THE COURTS PRIVILEGE.
There was another feature that pre-
sented itself to him. Presuming with
out stating that the remarks" were
comments on the facts, or presuming
without stating that the court could
make the same remarks to the jury
as at common law in England, in the
Federal courts and in the courts of
many States was the practice. the
judge while summing up the facts adj
vising the jury that they might dis
regard his advice on the facts-would
the circumstances at issue now justify
the granting of a motion for a new
trial? In constructively answering this
question in the negative Judge De Bolt
read lengthy extracts from articles by
former Associate Justice Brown of the
U. S. Supreme Court in the American
Law Review.
He then denied the motion.

DONE BY TRYING.

Nobody can tell what he can
do till he tries. When a thing
ought to be done the modern
spirit moves us to keep working
away at it until it is done. In
the face Of this idea the "impos-
sible" vanishes. Where there's
a will, there's a way. eff we
could but rob cod liver oil of
its sickening taste and smell and
then combine it with two or
three other ingredients we should
possess the best remedy in the
world for certain diseases that
are now practically incurable."
So said a famous English physi-
clan twenty-five years ago. "But
it will never be DONE" he added.
"You can no more turn COZ liv-
er oil into a palatable medicine,
than you can turn the Goldfish
itself into a Bird of Paradise"
Yet he lived to admit that in
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
the "impossib'e" had been ac-
complished. 1t is palatable as

tritive and curative properties of
Pure Cod Liver Oil, extracted
by US from fresh cod livers, COM
bined with the Compound Syrup

remedy is freed from the bad
peculiarities DR.. Frothinghsm so
detested, and it is precisely the
splendid medicine he wished for.

the Department of Justice to secure
an appeal from the decision of Judge

peal from the decision would lie, but

Attorney General Moody declined to
discuss the merits of Judge Hum

very great Importance, not only as af-
fecting this particular case, but as
laying down principle which, If sus-
tained, must have a very serious ef-
feet upon all future prosecutions by
the Government for violation of the
antitrust and Interstate Commerce
laws. 1t is possible the Government
has a right OF appeal under existing
laws. but in any event bill is now
before Congress which provides a rem
edy In such cases. 1t provides that in
all criminal prosecutions the United
States shall have the same right of re-
view Dy WIFI OF error lHdl Is given W
the defendant, including the right to a

that the act shall take effect from and

recommendation made by Attorney
General Moody In his last annual re-

ST. PETERSBURG, March 22.-The
agitation among the workmen's or
ganizations involves a bold plan on
the part of the Social Democrats, rev.
olutionists and other radical elements
to send delegates elected secretly to a
meeting to be called at some place in
Finland early in April, at which an
ultimate plan of operations will be
decided upon. A division of senti-
ment exists among the leaders. Some
of them favor calling a general strike
in the middle of April for the purpose
of forcing the lower house of Parlia-
ment to demand the immediate con-
vocation of a Constituent Assembly
on the basis of universal suffrage, but
the more audacious aim at setting up
a provisional government.
RIPE FOR REVOLUTION.
They believe the time Is ripe to or
ganize a general uprising and that,
If successful, their representatives
could boldly contest the authority of
the Government. The authorities here,
who perfectly realize that something
big is preparing, already have learned
of the possibility of general strike
and Interior Minister Durnovo has
sent circulars to the Governor Gener-
ais and Governors apprising them of
the state of affairs and instructing
them to take the necessary measures"
