d. ing far above the clouds and over
225 miles of panoramic land and
water from New York City and
landing today at the little seashore
resort of Brant Rock, near the historic
town of Plymouth, DR.. Julian P.
Thomas of New York and Roy Knaben-
shue, a professional aeronaut, made one
of the most successful balloon trips yet
undertaken in this country and learned
much, it is believed, that will assist
In the development of aerial naviga-
ton. DIR. Thomas said that the trip
from every point of view was the most
successful he has yet accomplished.
naut Knabenshue was cut slightly dur
ing the final descent at this place.
Otherwise nothing marred the flight.
The voyage was made with one stop,
and that a voluntary one, at Noank,
Conn, early. this morning. where, by
the aid of new guide rope, DR..
Thomas quickly brought his balloon to
the earth to procure breakfast and
water. The aeronauts landed at Brant
Rock at 1870 o'clock this forenoon,
and as they left New York at midnight
last night they were nearly twelve
hours on their trip.
DEVICES ARE SUCCESS.
The trip was made for the purpose of
testing two new appliances, a guide rope
and water anchor. The former device
worked with great success. The start
in New York was made without mishap
at midnight. The balloon rose over
New York City and sailed over Long
Island Sound. After several miles a
the aeronauts were unable to tell where
they were drifting. BY the use of his
guide rope DR.. Thomas brought the
car nearer earth and from the blasts
of the foghorn knew he was still over
the waters of the sound. Off Bridge
port, Conn.,, attracted by one of the
whistling craft DR.. Thomas brought
his airship still closer to the water
and astonished the members of a
yachting party by hailing them from
amid the darkness. From them he
learned his exact position, and then
quickly resumed his Journey.
About o'clock this morning the
outlines or land could be made out
through the fog, and by the aid of his
new devices of water anchor and guide
rope DR. Thomas landed gently at
Noank. Conn. The voyagers had
breakfast and were SO enthusiastic
over the success of their trip which
ct this point had been. of about 140
miles that they decided to continue
on their journey.
SPECTATORS ASTONISHED.

had made it still more buoyant. and
as soon as released from its anchorage

height not hitherto reached and far
above the fog bank that still hung
over the water Long Island Sound
was gradually left behind and the bal
loon scared over the hills and meadows
of Rhode Island. DESTROYS of further
testing his guide rope DR.. Thomas
dropped nearer to the land at Warwick
and descended so close that he was
able to ask of the wondering inhabi-
tants what place 1t, was.

NATIVE MAY HAVE
COMMITTED SUICIDE
FROM HIS HOME
IN KAU AND NO TRACE OF HIM
HAS BEEN FOUND.

Ekekela Pipale a native man whose
home was at Punaluu, Kau, is missing.
1t is feared that he committed suicide.
News of the disappearance of the man
was brought last week y the steamer
Mauna Loa.
He had been i'll for some time, with
hemorrhages On July at p. IN. he
told his wife that he was going 20 the
house of neighbor, one Laanui to
borrow a horse. Ekekela wanted to
go to Pahala on some business. That
was the last seen of him up to the time
that the Mauna Loa left Puunaluu for
Honolulu on July II.
Inquiry was made at the home Of
Laanui for the missing man but Laa-
nui stated that the missing man had
not come for the horse. 1t is thought
that Ekekela either committed suicide
or else got lost in the lava and died
from the effects of hemorrhage He
had told his wife that he was tired
of living for he was all the time sick.
He wanted to die he said. He was AZ
years of age. Searching parties had
been looking for trace of him.

WANT
SENATORS
TO TESTIFY
OFFER TO PROVE IN COURT
WHAT THEY MEANT BY ACT
90.

The Territory proposed this morning
in Judge De Bolts court to call SEN
ators Dowsett, Bishop and Achi as wit
nesses to testify as to what the legis-
lature meant, or rather intended to
mean, by Act 90 of the last legislature,
which is the act providing for county
revenue. The offer of proof was by
Deputy Attorney General Prosser who
wanted to show that in passing the act
the Legislature did not intend to allow
the county of Oahu the ST. 900 delin-
quent tax money for which a manda-
mus suit has been brought. The mat
ter was set for hearing at two o'clock
this afternoon, on the question of whe-
Their the senators may be allowed to
testify about such a matter.
The act in question provided for
payment to the counties of half the
taxes collected in such counties. 1t has
been construed by the Territory as
meaning half the taxes becoming due
and being collected since the coun-
ties started When the Territory coll
lected about $35 900 of taxes which were
delinquent before the counties started.
on Oahu, the supervisors instructed
County Attorney Douthitt to try and
get the county's half County Attor-
ney D. H. Case and j. L. Coke of Maui
have come into the case also, as the
suit applies equally to other counties.
| Prosser said this morning that SEN
ators DOwsett, Bishop and Achi as
well as William Savidge, secretary of
the Senate, would testify that It was
the intention in drawing the bill to
allow the counties only half of the
! taxes becoming due after the counties
were formed. This would be shown
! by committee discussions and memo
randa which had been preserved.
The act says fifty per centum of the
taxes COLLECTED in each county" with
! out reference to when such taxes be-
came due.
Judge De Bolt intimated doubts about
the legality of such an Introduction of
proof and Prosser agreed to argue the
matter this afternoon. The attorneys
, for the counties will oppose the evil
dence on the ground that the letter
of the law cannot be attacked by tes-
! timony as to legislative intentions.

garet " Carter estate row, Judge Ed
ings and c. w. Ashford, looked at one
another and everyone in court looked
at them, as if to find out who drew
the remarkable document. But Meth
er were guilty. The author was none
other than former Attorney General
Andrews, it is stated, but that didn't
prevent Judge Robinson .rLm very en-
phatically disappearing it's contents
The estate was before the court, as
It has been for years, by reason of an
effort to remove Mrs. Jesse Kaae as
Administrative and executrix Of the es-
tate. The petition for removal is by
Edgar Henriques, who is guardian OF
the eight minor children, but can't
get a cent of the income except
through the executrix or administra-
trix and claims he can't get anything
through her either. For years there
has been nothing but litigation be-
tween the two, with little result eX-
cept to charge the administrators, or
executrix with various sums.
"Henriques has boxed the compass"
said Ashford in objecting to a question
about expenses. when we repair
premises he says the money is spent
without authority and when we don't
he charges neglect"
Edlngs wanted to know whether the
objection applied to Mrs. Kaae as adj
ministratrix or as executrx, and II
was the resulting discussion which
caused the Judge to characterize the
will as a fool" one.
Ashford remarked that Mrs. Kaai
was ready to close up the estate, in
