claims that she and Lee Holder, lrl
the youngest son, and Mona, the lit
tie daughter, were standing on the
door step and heard the three shots
fired and thought they were giant
fire crackers. The mother also claim.
ed that in the interval OF Rev. Hold.
er's departure from home and the
shooting, her son, Lee, was out Of her
sight for the space of only three or
maybe five minutes, and that he spent
the entire evening at home with the
family. The younger brother also
claimed that he was only out Of sight
while he was shelling an ear of pop
corn.
After trying to sustain an alibl the
defense concluded by saying "anyone
could have stuck the gun under the
crib"
The States attorney produced a
blackboard and proceeded to ex-
plain diagram of the scene where
the crime was committed.
Lee Holder maintained a steady
nerve throughout the argument of
the prosecution. One white hand
lay carelessly on the railing of the
dock, and certainly it did not look
like the hand of murderer. He
held his face unfinchingly toward
the five Judges, and whether it is
the face of martyr or murderer,
only God knows.
The prosecution proceeded care
fully and Systematically, stating at
one time several years previous to
this crime, circumstantial evidence
pointed to Lee Holder as having
used Rough on Rats to destroy the
whole family. The defendant also
objected to blood hounds being
put on the trail of his fathers
murderer, claiming that it might
cause some innocent person to
suffer. At this iuncture Lee
Holder lifted his head higher and
put a match between his teeth and
cheWed it.
Mrs. Holder found his watch
and purse on the body of her hus-
band, and some one said the de-
ceased had been killed d by an
enemy.
The defendant also said that if
he had seen old man Taylor stick
ing weeds in his track he would
have stopped him. One look at
Lee Holders face when the States
attorney said this would have con-
vinced an ordinary mortal that he
would have done what he said.

Following are extracts from a private
letter of DR.. P. F. Frear, written Jan.
%, telling of visit to the crater where
the main lava flow started:
There were six of as with two native
guides and two pack animals. We
started from upper Hoopuloa at a.
m, rode till 1890, had lunch and then
rode till 4:30 and made camp.
The first part of the ride was fine
through the woods, though all the ferns
were dead1ooking from the sulphur
smoke. The last part of the ride was
over tough "a with streaks of pahoe
hoe. We had to look out for holes
and bubbles. Every once in while an
ANIMAL would break through.
Without waiting to eat we each took
grub and water and blanket and
walked over a-a about a mile. We
could then look across about two blocks
and see the crater where all the lava
came from. We could not get to it on
dCcouuG u d AUW Ol uUt lava.
We could see lot of smoke up ma
uka, and there was great deal of
heat coming out of the crater, but at
dark all that showed up was an in
candescent cone.
We thought of going mauka but we
noticed quite bit of fire makai, SO
we got on hill below and saw that
things were doing. We watched it
mile and half distant, and could see
that lava flow was coming from this
place. We decided to get down there,
and got along very well travelling over
rotten lava, and now and then breaking
into hole couple of feet deep; not
knowing but that we might break into
one fifteen or twenty feet deep we
vent in single file.
We finally got to point where we
could look right down into a lake of
red hot lava about 500 feet in dia-
meter. 1t was grand. We had been
following down a partly-eooled flow.
We climbed partly on top of this to
get better view. We stayed there
half hour and took pictures but could

SCHOOL FOR
THE DEAF AND DUMB !

How many deaf and dumb children
are there in the Territory of Hawaii
Governor Carter wants to know, hav-
ing in mind the establishment of a
school for the unfortunate ones, pro-
vlded there are enough in the islands
to make such an institution necessary.
Superintendent of Education Babbitt
has been written to IN the matter, his
reply being to the effect that the Edu-
cational department had no statistics.
He had referred the matter, however,
to President Pinkham, of the Board
of Health, who was looking up the rec
ords of the board and would report as
soon as possible.
A short time ago it was proposed to
establish a fund to send those chill
dren afflicted with deafness to Califor-
MIA, where there are schools in which
they can be educated almost equally
as well as normal children, but the plan
to establish such a school in the Ter
ritory has everything in its favor if
the number of children needing it is
found to be enough to justify the es-
tablishment of it.

SENATORS WANT THE
PUBLIC WORKS ROOM.

The question of providing suitable
room in which the members of the
Senate may deliberate in the approach
ing session is now engaging the atten-
tion of the officials at the Capitol. 1t
may be that the Governor will be again
dispossessed of the Robin s. Egg Blue
chamber, but not if the wishes of the
senator's and the holdovers can
be carried out One plan is to have
the present Office of Secretary Atkinson
divided, giving the Governor the inner
office, with the Secretary in the out
side room next the hall. In that event
the Senate will convene in the present
office of the Governor.
What the Senators themselves want,
however, is to take possession of the
large Office now used by the Department
of Public Works, across the main hall
from the throne room, where the Rep
resentatives will hold forth. This is
regarded as the best place for the ses-
sion, provided other quarters can be
had for the clerks of the Public Works.
In occupying these quarters the Sena-
tors will be in closer touch with the
Representatives and will also be on an
space and stairs to climb is concerned.
