THINK COLE is MAN
WHO KILLED GREEK
Boy Identifies Negro at Coroner's In
quest-Hearing Will Continue
This Afternoon.

The coroner's jury investigated the kill
ing of the Greek merchant, Anastasius
Argiro, yesterday, and as a result the of
fcers interested in the case believe that
the guilt of the negro, VIII Cole, will be
indisputably settled.
1t will be REMEMBERED that the Greek
came to his death in his place of bus
mess on Twenty-fourth street and Third
avenue on December 81. 1t seems that a
negro, after purchasing some fruit, turned
and shot him dead. Afterwards, Officers
Malone and Street arrested VIII Cole col
ored.
During the investigation yesterday the
son of the merchant, who in the
store when the father was shot, stated
that the prisoner was the murderer.
Another session of the jury will be held
this afternoon at 2 o'clock. The testi-
mony of Mrs. Maud Williamson, who had
just left the merchants store before he
was shot is awaited with interest. 1t is
believed that she can state whether or not
the negro who was in the store when she
was is VIII Cole.

Window and Runs Into Police
mans Arms.

Lee Gillian, after starting a trough
house" in "Panatopia,' in the progress
of which he broke the Fifteen by ten
plate glass window in the front of the
place, made down the street as fast as his
legs would carry him. He ran into the
arms of Officer Mcknight and was soon
behind the bars of the city Jaid. The
charge against him was malicious mis-
chief. The bond is set at SIS, however, for
the glass that he broke is valued at $65.
The negro, according to the charges,
was drinking. He kicked the glass with
his heel and broke it all to pieces. The
"Panatopia' is the place wherein songs
are sung by monographs and pictures
shown to negro patrons. The escapade of
Gillian was the first that has occurred

ORDERS GIVEN FOR
MANY NEW BRIDGES
COUNTY ENGINEER SUBMITS RE-
PORT ON WORK DONE ON THE
COUNTY BRlDcEs-oTHERs To
BE BUILT THIS YEAR.

In the report submitted to the board
of revenue by County Engineer p S.
Miner, 1t is shown that a large amount
of money, about $4,000 was spent dur
ing the past year in building new bridges
and repairing old ones in the county.
Several new bridges were built among
them being one over Village creek at
Woodward's mill. over Mill creek at
Wards mill and over Shorts creek at
Short creek post office. The bridge at
Jasper Ford over the Warrior river was
liz course of construction when the Uni
ted States government ordered it stop
ped on account of its possible inter-
ference with the navigation of the river.
1t is probable a drawbridge will have
to be erected or else the bridge must
be raised to permit the passage of YES
sells at high water.
During the present year the following
bridges will be repaired:
Bridges over the Warrior river at War
rior, Shorts creek and Robbins; over
Cahaba river at Glass ford; over Village
creek at East Thomas. North Borming-
ham, and Jonesvlle; over Gains creek at
Lynn's crossing, and over Shades creek
at Oxmoor.
The board of revenue proposes to build
the following bridges Over Turkey creek
near Norris, and another beyond San
dusky: over Shades creek on the road
between Irondale and Leeds: over Cain
creek near Littleton; over Crooked creek
on the road between Shorts and Norris
over Birmingham canal on Owenton road
and another on Lamb avenue; over
Mmms branch near Powder1y: over
Shades creek near Parkwood. and over
Little Shades creek between Bessemer
and Parkwood.
The cost of the repairs and new work
to be done during the year is approxi-
mated at about 100000.

for city and county to be incorporat-
ed out of the present county of Oahu.
The original bill was amended in num-
erous ways but the most material feat
ures were unchanged during the pro-
gress of it's passage through both
houses of the Legislature.
The city of Honolulu is to be di-
vided to six districts. There is no
very material change from the present
system of county government, except
that an additional officer that of mayor
is created under the act. The mayor
is given considerable discretionary
power and serves as a check upon the
board of supervisors, as he has the
power of the veto. All mayors are
given the right to a seat and a par
ticipation in the debates of the super
visors but are entitled to no vote.
Under its original draft, the bill
provided for an election this year but
after considerable debate in the Senate
this section was amended so that the
election will be held conformity with the
general elections next year. TheAues-
ton of salary of the mayor was dis
cussed at some length and it was re-
duced from it's original figure of $4,000
amendment being $1,000 a year. The
mayor has the appointing power Of all
officers of the city and county, whose
election or appointment has not other
wise been provided for. The super
visors are elected at large.
