AIEA MAY HAVE
SEWER SYSTEM

Aiea may soon have a sewer sys-
tenn. Chief Sanitary officer Tracy is
working on plans for one.
1t is al Aiea where there was a
recent epidemic that put this port in
quarantine. At present there is no
sewer system or drainage system of
any kind. Everything is thrown out
on the surface of the ground and
drains off as best it can.
Two plans are being considered. One
is for system of open cement drains
and the other is for system of I'M
derground sewer pipes. The determi-
nation of the question will likely de-
pend on whether the water supply and
water system is considered sufficient
to keep an underground system of
sewers properly flushed.
. The system in either event will prob
ably cost about $4,000. and viii be ex-
tensive enough to connect every house
in Aiea with the sewer.

SHE FEIGNED DEATH.

More detailed reports of the murder
and suicide at the settlement last week
indicate that the wife of the murderer
escaped with her life by feigning
death. 1t seems that her husband first
attacked her. J. d. Mia, leper in
an advanced stage of the disease, who
lived with the couple, protested.
Thereupon the murderer Kahoomanu
left his wife and killed Mia. In this
interval the wife dragged herself out
of the house and feigned death. Her
husband, apparently believing her
dead, returned TO his other victim and
then. seizing a knife. stabbed himself,
in1icting wounds from which he died
in half an hour.

used tctrahedraI cells in kites. and is

on that principle.
Cells for kites were built OF light strips

Chinese Feeling

TOKYO. Sept. Am absolute break
between China and Japan in the near
future Is feared by japanese public men,

Chinese government Is manifesting to-
ward her island neighb0r. China IS
believed to be on the point Of an anti

dignation is manifested here at her
change Of front.
The conflicting claims Of China and
japan 10 Khoto or the Middle island,
as IT is known. are in part responsible
for the i'll feeling between the nations.
japan mas taken possession, under TIE
claim of Korea, to the disputed terr
tory. News that China has dispatched a
force to seize the land has caused great
concern here, as it is feared actual fight
ing may follow.
The Chinese are also reported TO be
excited because OF the barring OF Chi
nese coolies from parts Of Japan. a
party of fifty coolies was turned back
from Kobe. Chinese are inclined to re-
sent this. They say Japan ought not to
exclude any Chinese from her territory,
10 view Of the agitation she has INDUCED
In against the exclusion Of japanese
coolies from the United States.
Japanese statesmen believe that If the
peace Of the Far East is TO be main
tained, China must be brought to see
the unreasonableness OF her present
stand. It is probable a leading japanese
statesman will be sent to represent ia
pan in China. Count Okuma is sug-
gested for the position.

WEST WEIGHS
PLAN TO TAX
BILLBOARDS

The billboard is doomed TO disappear.
Such is the conviction Of Commissioner

that he had read with interest the ar
ticIe IN The Times yesterday about the
results attained in Rio de Janiero, and
that be would further consider the bill
board tax, with relation to the District
The question presented so many ramt-
fications, said ne, that he could not
state without further consideration what
is best to be done. He is not in favor
OF taxing them out Of existence, but
thinks they should be made subject to
direct taxation
In Berlin and Paris, Commissioner
West said signboards are under the su-
pervision Of the authorities and only ap-
proved designs may be posted. This has
had the effect Of producing 8 high or
der of advertising art, but not Of abating
the volume of this form of advertising.
Considers Data From Rio.
Commissioner West said that the in
formation regarding the revenue from
billboards IN Rio de Janeiro had come to
him through the Bureau Of Manufac-
tures, Department Of Commerce and
Labor, and that he had kept it on his
desk in order to give IL further consid-
Grafton.
He said that he had not yet been able
/ to formulate any plan which seemed to
/ promise definite results. "A tax on
/ signboards." he said would probably
result in doing away with them alto
/ gether, and while this might be desir-
able. its accomplishment could be Sc
cured by direct legislation making sign
/ boards Illegal. AT present signboards
are erected on private property, and the
| billposting concerns pay a rent TO the
owners of the property. A tax upon
