ON
OIL TANKER
SOMETHING ROTTEN WITH S. S.
SANTA MARIA'S VITALITY-UN-
DER INVESTIGATION ON COAST.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 30.-There
is an investigation pending for the
officers of the Union OH tank steamer
Santa Maria, regarding its recent yoy-
age from Honolulu to San Francisco,
via Port Hartford.
The investigation IS to be relative
to the condition of the boilers which
made it necessary to put the fires out
and make important repairs while at
sea, as well as to the fire which took
place on, the Santa Maria's trip from
Oleum to San Francisco, Nov. 18th.
The report of the latter incident is
to the effect that one of the burners
back fired and this ignited the OIL
floating in the fireroom bilges, but was
eXtinguished after about an hours
fighting. The captain says that only
minor damage was done.
While the inspectors do not regard
this as a serious matter they will take
1t up while they are taking testimony
relative to the state of affairs which is
set forth In the following statement
made by Second Assistant Engineer
Wallace:
I'm regard to the dropping OF the
false crown on the steamer Santa
Maria on November 18th at $3.50 a. m.
desire to say that ] was not on watch
at the time In my opinion it was
caused by the accumulation Of salt and
grease. The boilers filled with cold
that on Nov 18th / found the forward
standard boiler leaking very bad and
tht ship was stopped and the tubes
rolled in all the boilers by>myself and
oiler on my watch. From then on We
could get little, or | might say not
sufficient, steam TO run at full speed.

SUICIDE Or
FOUL KILLING
ATTORNEY GENERAL RECEIVES
TRANSCRIPT OF CORONER's
JURY TESTIMONY AT HAMA.

The Attorney Generals department
has received by this mornings mail
transcript of the testimony taken
before Coroners jury at Hama, Maui
on the 2Sth of November, relative to
a peculiar case of murder or suicide.
and for which a young Jap named
Higaki is now being held for killing
a fourteen year old Japanese girl nam
ed Otero Harada.
The alleged murderer was found
in a cane field lying besides the dead
body of the girl, and himself almost
dead from sash tied around his neck.
The other end of the sash was tied
firmly to the right wrist of the girl,
while slight marks about her neck
indicated that she had been strangl,
ed. 1t was testified by physicians
that the lungs were exhausted Of air,
as though the chest had been com
pressed also.
The Jap who recovered tells tale
of love and opposition, as the cause
Of the tragedy He says that he and
the girl had desired to be married
for two years, but that her father had
objected, and made this impossible
The night before the body was discOv-
cred the girl had asked him to wait
for her at the bath house, and when
she had finished her bath. she had
guided him to the cane field and
there urged him to die with her He
I had demurred, but she had threaten,
ed to suicide alone, and then he
agreed His sash was then tied one
end about either ones neck, and they
agreed to each strangle the other by
J pulling on the sash After telling him

MONEY FOR
HARBORS
Continued from Page OneJ

iect contemplated for Honolulu har-
Dor, and the contract calls for the
work to be done within 20 months,
requiring an expenditure of money OF
about $4,000 per month. The con
tracing company already has drilling
scows about ready for work, since it
will be necessary to loosen the coral
by means of explosives.
The item of $4,000 for the light
house depot, for Honolulu is another
item in which Honolulu is especially
interested. AS yet it is not determin-
ed upon the location for this, and pro-
badly will not be until after Congress
has taken some action on the matter
of utilizing Pearl haTbOr for naval
station This, Capt. Orwell states, will
in all probability be known at this
session. If the naval station is to be
moved, the idea is to utilize such part
of the present station for the new
| lighthouse depot.
If not 4 is likely that location will
be chosen on some of the flats 90 be
filled in ON the other side of the har-
Dor by the dredging of the channel.
The Lighthouse depot will be for the
storage of supplies for the various
lights, buoys, etc. to be maintained
throughout the territory, and a wharf
will be needed in connection with il
for use of the new lighthouse tender
which is now being built for this ser
vice.
The two lighthouses recommended
are important and will be much more
so in the future Kilauea Point is
! the northernmOst point on Kauai and
will be a great safeguard to vessels
to and from the Orient. This one is
badly needed at the present time and
it is more good luck than anything
else that has prevented very serious
disasters before now on that coast.
The one on Kumukahi Point is the
first land raised by vessels approach
ing the Islands from around the Horn,
and from the Isthmus 1t is a south
ern point on Hawaii, and light there
will be of much Importance with the
completion of the Panama Canal. Both
of the lights just mentioned are of
! the first order variety.
