DID KEPOIKAI KEEP HEIRS FROM THEIR
MONEY AND USE PART FOR HIMSELF?
. Startling Charges Made
to Governor by
Maui Men.

After hearing the statement of a
committee from Maui, Governor Frear
has ordered an investigation of charges
against Circuit Judge Kepoikai and
sent Deputy Attorney General Larnach
to Maui to make it.
The charges are that Judge Kepoi-
kai, in matter involving about S2700
due the minor heirs of one T. Mori,
denied petition making a responsible
man guardian of the heirs and admins
traitor of the estate, appointing in his
stead an illiterate laborer named Krue-
ger; and that, by various transfers of
the money it came under the direct
control of Judge Kepoikai's court,
whereupon, in September, 1905, the
Judge personally borrowed $1,000 of the
S2700, giving his note and paying, up
TO the present time but $50 on account;
and that, meanwhile, the minor heirs of
the late T. Mori, to whom the money be-
longs, have been and are living upon
the charity of relatives. These facts
are set Eorth as sufficient ground for
Kepoikai's impeachment.
Governor Frear did not wish to go
into particulars yesterday when re-
porter called upon him, saying that he
should await the report of Mr.. Lar
mach, who left on the steamer last
night for Maui and would not return
until next week.

charges laid before the Governor:

A HALO FOR CASTRO.

manded quiet; and that now, in
obedience to this high order from
the serene statesman of Caracas,
Roosevelt is drawing near and I'M
folding on high the flag of fraternity
1t is pretty picture; and nobody but
our one time secretary of state, John
w. Foster, can bring out all its his
torical accuracy in vivid light.
The glow of admiration already be-
gins to steal over US as we reflect how
our accomplished American scholiast
will make his eulogium. Those quail
ties of patience, benevolence, truthful
ness and fidelity to justice which dis
tinguish President Castro from the
rest of mankind will not only be
limned but fairly daubed into the COM

modesty which also distinguishes him

FRON OTHER PENS
RAILROADS IN CHINA.

Although actually owning but 81 of
it's 3,740 miles Of railway, China IS full
of railroad talk and railroad projects.
With one big lime from Peking to
Hankow, and several feeders to it,
more than 20 lines and extensions are
projected. The line that attracts the
largest amount of interest is the
Picking Hankow-Canton-K sys-
tenn, of which the Picking Hankow
line, the first section, is now in opera
ton. Mr.. G.. w. Ewes, chief. resident
engineer of the Hankow-Canton rail-
way, reporting on the progress of the
work up to December 81, 1907, con-
cludes with the announcement that.
barring accidents and unexpected de-
lays, the line will be completed by
December, 1903, as far as the con-
tract work is involved. and should be
open for traffic by the end of May,
1910. Governor General Lugard re-
ports that the Canton-Kowloon line,
the terminal section of the Peking-
Kowloon system, will be completed at
the same time. --ta
The construction of the three Sec
lions of this system has shed no small
amount Of light on practical railroad
problems in China. The Hankow-
Canton section is being constructed by
the Chinese, and when its progress is
compared with that of the British
Canton Kowloon line, it is evident
that China has not yet outgrown the
need of foreign superintendent for
it's large enterprises.
When the sections are completed
Hongkong will have spent sum far
in excess of it's original expectation.
but in return it will possess as sound
a railway as human foresight can
plan. The entire systemic will be 1000
miles long, stretching from Peking
through the undeveloped region of
central China to the great southern
port, Canton. 1t, like the majority
of the lines projected, follows an old
caravan route. where trade is already
established and where the trade ar1s-
ing from development Will be con-
centrated.-Newark News
