Henry Victor, an employe of the
Union Feed Co., was seriously injured
in runaway accident yesterday and
is now at the Queens Hospital. His
injuries consist of compound fracture
of the right leg, a fracture bf the
left leg a fracture of the skull, a Sc
we're scalp wound and a number of
superficial injuries 1t was not known
at the hospital last night whether it
will be necessary to amputate either
or both his legs, although this will
probably have to be done. A decision
will be made this morning.
Victor is an inside man at the Feed
Co.'S warehouse and ran out to stop a
team which had been standing in front
of the warehouse, attached to a load
ed dray, and which had become fright
ened at passing automobile. Victor
attempted to grab the lines, running
alongside the dray, when the horses
swerved in toward him, the hind wheel
knocking him down and passing over
his legs, below the knees.
Dr. Hoffman, was summoned to at.
tend to him and had the injured man
taken at once to the Queens Hospital.

TO IMPROVE SLIGHTLY
H|L0's WATER SUPPLY

HILO, September 2.-Hilo has the
prospect of securing an improved
water supply within year. if the pres
ent Superintendent of Public Works
remain in Office and his energy con-
tinue
Six weeks after the pittance Of a
$500 appropriation became available,
to last for two years, instead of the
$4,000 absolutely needed, S.Iperintend-
ent Holloway wrote to Mr.. Vannatta,
who had previously communicated with
him on the subject, suggesting that he
write fully "in regard to repairs and
additions to the Hilo system which are
the most urgent" Mr.. Holloway add
ing:
81 think 1t will probably be neces-
sary to order new pipe, and IL you will
advise me as to the lengths and sizes
required, can arrange to call for ten
ders here. covering delivery in Hilo."
To this, Superintendent vannatta
promptly replied. giving details Of the
most urgent needs that will enable
more than a three-inch pipe to supply
shipping, for instance, and then leave
a little water running in the small
pipes for other places; also pipes that
will enable better protection from fire.
With such an abundance of good water
here. the practical supply Is limited

ARRIVED At HIS
OWN FUNERALtFEA

After holding the funeral services
for KOno, a young Japanese of Aiea,
his friends were horrifed TO see him
appear among them on Monday last.
They thought him ghost and it was
some time before he could persuade his
friends that it was he himself and not
disembodied spirit. Yesterday Kono
was in town returning the various pres
ents that had been sent to his wife on
account of his death.
KonO was taken i'll recently at Aiea
and was brought in to the japanese
Charity Hospital here, being later TAX
en- to the quarantine hospital at Ka-
lihi as plague patient. As soon as
he learned that he was suspected of
having the dread disease he almost
gave up the ghost in fear, but was
later agreeably surprised to find that
he was recovering. He was discharged
as cured late last week On Monday
he returned TO his home, to find his
friends mourning him as dead, re-
port that he had died few days pre-
viously having been spread abroad. In
honor of his memory a funeral feast
had been spread and many of his
friends, according to the japanese Gus
tom, had sent gifts of coincidence to
his widow.
This adventure of Kono's Is explains
what has been troubling the officials
of the Board of Health for the past
few days, number of japanese ap-
pearing at the office and demanding the
bones of Kono that they might be
shipped back to Japan, something which
the Japanese Buddhists share in doing
with the Chinese Buddhists. As Kono
had still some further use for his bones
the Board of Health people turned the
Japanese applicants down, their ex-
PLANTATION, however, being Incompetent
sible to the friends OF the supposed
dead man in the light of the informa-
tion of his demise that had come to
them.
Keno's wife had also believed the
reports of her widowhood and had ac-
eepted without question the various
gifts which Kono is now returning with
thanks and explanations.

BOYS MAKE bOLO
THEFTS OF METAL

During the past vacation period the
small boy along the waterfront has
been improving the shining hour by
stealing all the brass, lead and other
metals not too heavy to carry off, and
selling part OF it TO a Korean fence in
Kakaako. The thefts of these boys
have been bold ones, those who have
suffered from their raids including the
United States government, the Terri
toriaI government, E. ]. Lord, the In
ter-Island company and William Tyr
reII, the representatives OF whom visit
ed Rosenberg's shop yesterday and
identified q number of stolen pieces OF
metal. Other pieces were found in the
possession of sub Chang Wan, a Ka-
kaako Korean. who is now under ar
rest for receiving stolen goods.
For some time Officer Reeves has
been on the trail OF the boys and yes
terday he caught one of them in the
act OF walking off with the lead breast
plates of a diving suit. belonging to Mr..
Tyrrell. The boy was arrested and has
split on the gang.
During the past few weeks this gang
has been doing a wholesale business.
The warehouse Of the Q. S. Lighthouse
Board has been entered and large
quantities Of brass taken. the locomo-
tives Of z. ]. Lord have, been stripped
Of all the detachable brasses, some of
the automobiles of the Associated gar
age have been despoiled Of their brass
axle caps. the brass stanchions Of one
or two Of the barges kept along the
front have been wrenched of and a
diving suit has been denuded of all its
lead weights. A part Of this stuff was
identified yesterday at Rosenberg's and
more Of 1t at the Koreans.
In view of the fact that the property
Of the United States government has
suffered it is likely that the matter
will be taken up by the Federal officers.

FLEET MONEY ?
IS CIRCULATING

You may say for me that all OF the
money from the cruisers is not spent
in the saloons" said George W. Smith.
head OF the firm of Benson. Smith &
Co.. Ltd. yesterday. 'The business
men are all feeling the good effects Of
the visit of the fleet and. while they
may not all be directly benefited. the
money spent by the officers and SAIL
ors for their personal needs. and BY
the fleet as a whole for supplies. is
distributed pretty generally around
town.
The first day the sailors came
ashore we received good order for
certain lines for the fleet. the goods
were delivered and the coin returned.
and nearly every day customers come
to US and make purchases with money
that comes directly or indirectly from
the visitors. The liverymen rent horses
and carriages and 1t is sure thing
they do not bury the money derived
from the transaction. The sailors ON
arrival found themselves in need of
articles for their wardrobes and Ho-
nolulu prices were satisfactory. so
they filled in. II You happen to see

kAuA|'s STRANGE
RET|CENCE

The matter Of grave Importance in
regard to which sheriff Rice OF Kauai
asked High sheriff Henry to come nj
once to Lihue. may indeed prove a
matter OF grave Importance. In re-
sponse to High sheriff Henry's request
for further particulars. the following
message was received:
Tailor Lowell kicked Japanese pris-
oner yesterday and prisoner died to-
day. Now holding inquest
A singular reticence seems to prevail
in Kauai regarding the matter. ON
Wednesday. as was stated In yester-
days Advertiser. Sheriff Rice in re-
sponse to an inquiry sent by wireless
by the Advertiser. declined to make
any statement. Yesterday the Adver-
tiser again sent wireless inquiries to
the Garden Island but all responses
clearly indicated u great unwiIlingness
to say anything about the matter or
to give any Information concerning II.
Why this is can only be conjecrured.
Whether It Is mere habitual unreadi-
ness to make public statement regard4
Ing matters of public interest, or
whether there is something in the cir
cumstances that make any statement
regarding It condemnation OF a man
who has always borne a good reputs-
ton. cannot be known at present.
High Sheriff Henry is at a loss to
account for the matter. Lowell has
been a jailor or deputy sherin for
fifteen years or more. He was a dep
uty sheriff under Sam Wilcox. He is
about so years Of age. an even tenn
pered man. and cannot imagine such
a thing as is reported regarding him
unless under very great provocation-
The thing I fear is that the Japa-
nese on the plantations. hearing that
one of their nationality has been kill
ed by the jailor. and especially II they
fear that justice will not be speedily
and strictly meted out to him, may
quit, work, and create disturbance, and
carry their excitement and anger to
the point Of great excesses."
The High Sheriff left by the Mikaha-
Ia last evening and should arrive at
Nawiliwili this morning.
One of the first things he expects to
do after arriving there is to appoint
4 new jailor. This he fears will not
be an easy matter as the available
material is not plentiful.
