ARSON IS CHARGE
AGAINST KIMURA

In the police court yesterday there
were one or. two cases of some general
interest, one dealing with the curio
sellers and their rights to sell on Sun
| day. At the instance of Curio Dealer
Rietow, other dealers, including John
! Effinger, Mrs. Taylor and Mr.. Steiner,
were arrested on penal summonses.
They were charged with violating the
Sunday law by selling curios and other
stock on the Sabbath.
Their attorney argued that the
charge was not specific and in naming
John Doe persons, or American sailors,
as the ones who made purchases on
Sundays, and therefore the complaint
was defective. The case was submit
ted and the Judge took it under ad-
visement for few days.
The charge of highway robbery pre-,
ferred against Fl. Leslie was mol
pressed, the evidence showing that he
should have been charged with assault
and battery. Leslie was arrested some
time ago for allegedly holding up
Chinese near Moiliili. The Chinaman
declared that the young man forcibly
took something of value from him. The
young man was caught by several Chi
nese who responded to the Chinaman'
calls for help.
This morning C. Piper, the young
man caught by detective Medeiros and
the school police of Kaahumanu School,
for making a nuisance of himself IN
the presence of school girls, will come
up for trial. Piper has been identified
by large number of school girls as
the fellow who annoyed them on many
occasions.
Kimura the Japanese arrested for
attempting to burn the house of Mrs.
Luther Wilcox at Diamond Head, has
been charged with arson, and will ap-
pear for trial today.
Mana, a special police officer, who |
has been on special duty in the Sheriff |
office, has resigned, as he will go on |
the stump during the campaign.
Albert Kauwe, formerly turnkey |
who resigned on September 80, made |
his first appearance yesterday on the |
famous Bethel street boX-platform and |
made long speech in favor of the |

The Transportation Committee
on the Opening
Prospects.

Speaking yesterday to an Advertiser
man of the proposed branching out OF
the Matson Company s service, the see
rotary of the Territorial Transportation
Committee said:
81 have had talk with Captain Mat
son and with Mr.. Tenney. believe they
hold the solution to some of our most
important transportation problems.
cit is to be regretted that Captain
Matson will not be in Honolulu next
week to meet Percy Hunter, who rep
lresents the Australasian tourists. The
addition of passenger service to Seat
tie should be brought about; it is need
ed locally, and it would also make 1t
quite possible for Australians and Ca
nadians crossing the Pacific to stop over
conveniently in Hawaii for more than
day and less than a month. A TRAN
gular service from Seattle to Hawaii
with the inter-island cruise now IN
Guided in the Matson trips) and on to
San Francisco, or vice versa, should
prove an allurement to those who an
nually run across the American CONT
nent. With the Hilo Redondo service
also in commission, a triangular cruise
from Seattle, San Francisco or Los An
geles becomes possibility, and at
lower rates than have ever before been
offered in this part of the Pacific; and
these cruises include a stOpover at XII
lauea, Haleakela, Oahu and possibly
Maui. With the public taken in as a
third partner in the MatsOn Company,
Hawaii must, it seems to me, quickly
achieve her inevitable destiny of be-
coming the playground of the American
people, with the hills about Honolulu
dotted with beautiful villas, the dis
tant valleys titled by white small farm
ers, the waters fecked with private
yachts, and the other islands studded
with real hotels, and lower inter-island
rates compelled by public demand and
opinion.

THE WORRIED WOMEN,

they say men must work and
women must weep; but alas, in
this too busy world women often
have to work and weep at the
same time. Their holidays are
too few and their work heavy
and monotonous. It makes them
nervous and irritable. The de-
pressed and worried woman loses
her appetite and grows thin and
feeble. Once in a while she has
spells of paIpitation and has to
lie up for a day or two. If some
disease like influenza or malarial
fever happens to prevail she is
almost certain to have an attack
of it, and that often paves the
way for chronic troubles of the
throat, lungs and other organs;
and there is no saying what the
end may be. Let the tired and
ovArladen woman rest as much
as possible; and, above ali, place
at her command a bottle of

] With the completion of the Volcano
railway in the near future, however,
and the erection of the new popular

ability be cut in half, so that a thirty
odd day cruise Of the Hawaiian Islands,
with visits TO Haleakela and Kilauea,
and a week in Honolulu, need not cost
the tourist more than $1T5; and as
much more as he cares to spend. This
places Hawaii on a footing with Fiji,
Samoa and the Society Islands, which,
by the way, enjoy -dollar-a-day
cruise rates, that are likely now to be
looped up with the Hawaiian cruise. 1t

at Honolulu for regular Hawaiian
cruises, which are planned to make a

will have the offer of a five-dollar-a-dav

Native Honesty Of Young Georgian
Furnishes Clue to Robbery.

Savannah, Ca, August 1.-Ren-
dered desperate by letters from his
wife pleading that he send her money
at once, NJ. c. Dixon, a young white
man, out Of work and with a four
months-old baby girl dependent upon
him, stole key and robbed the I'm
ion Office of the Southern Express
Company here yesterday morning,
taking a money package containing
$3.50. He paid some small debts in
Savannah and boarded a Central Of
Georgia train for Atlanta, where he
was captured by a detective who
found the clue left by the debts his
quarry paid. Dixon is held at the
county jail awaiting trial on the bur-
glary charge in the Superior Court.
The letters from his wife are pathet-
ic in the extreme and the burglars
plea after he made'a straightforward
confession of his guilt was that he
"stole for the sake Of wife and baby,
and because they were hungry and
he was out Of work" He was be-
lieved when he declared that the
robbery was his first.
