WATSON PUTS
:
HUGHES RIGHT
Believes Hughes Misguided by
Bulletin, but c0rrects the
Statement Made.

In temperate language but decidedly
forcible, E. M. Watson, Democratic can
didate for the Senate, last night re
futed statement attributed to John
Hughes, candidate for the Senate on the
Republican ticket, that he (Watson)
had called all the Republican caEdi-
dates gamblers and tin-horn sports.
While Mr. Watson said he did not wish
to enter into personalities in the cam,
paign he felt obliged to make this one
personal refutation, but even then went
so far as to give Mr.. Hughes the bene-
fit of the doubt, in that he had either
been misquoted by the Bulletin, or Mr..
Hughes had been sadly misinformed as
to Mr.. Watson S correct statements re-
garding the candidates on the Repub-
lican ticket.
The statment at which Mr. Watson
took umbrage appeared in the Bulletin g
account of the Republican meeting at
Moiliili, was headed "John Jumps Wat
son.'' Mr.. Hughes is quoted as saying:

Gratis advanced any argument, why you
should vote for them. / deprecate per-
sonalities. I have never before used
name of a rival candidate, but L
must say that at the meeting of the
Democrats last night one of their can
didates for Senator said the Democrats
were working for the laboring men and
that the Republican party was compos-
ed of gamblers and tin-horn sports. L
brand them as lies, and I ask you as
intelligent men, is it not an insult to
try to get your votes by such meth
ods?'

THREE JAPANESE KILLED
: At WAIPAHU PLANTATION

In. train accident at Waipahu yes
terdMy afternoon two japanese labor
ers were crushed to death and another
one received injuries from which he
died shortly after being taken to the
plantation hospital The names of the
three dead men are $. lnofuku, T.. Sa-
kuma and NJ Fulushio.
These three, with others, were n
turning from work in the fields, COM
ing in on one of the plantation trains.
From some cause the train left the
track when close to the mill, one of
the ears overturning. The three vic
tins of the accident were caught and
crushed beneath the car as it toppled
over.
Word Of this accident WAS brought
into town last night by Manager Bull
aud the plantation doctor, who drove
in to notify the authorities after hav-
ing tried IN vain TO locate Deputy Sher-
if Fernandez. Sheriff Iaukea instruct
ed Special Officer Joe Leal to go to
Waipahu on his motorcycle and make
an investigation. Leal left town at
quarter to eleven last night, making
the run in the surprisingly fast time
of thirty minutes. He also failed 70
locate the Deputy Sheriff, but was
notified by the plantation policeman
that Fernando had sent word that he
would come in the morning and hold
an iuC1est.
The plantation people would give no
information as to the cause Of the ae-
eident before the holding Of the regu-
lar inquest.

STRONG TALK At
MAUNAKAMALA
Republicans Address Crowded
Meeting Watkins Makes
Original Plea.

The Republican meeting at Mauna-
kamala last night was fairly well at
tended and the speeches were listened
to with interest by the people of that
part of town. The platform was plac-
ed on a bare lot near the junction of
King street and the Asylum road. The
chairs were ali occupied, mostly by wo-
men and the fences on eaen side bore
a solid row of humanity.
One of the most closely followed and
loudly applauded speeches of the even
ing was made by Norman Watkins who
branched off into comparatively new
territory and made very subtle APP
peal to his hearers on original lines.
To colloquialize the burthen of his
speech one might say "Come on you
fellows, get in with the buneh.'' He
started by going over the work of the
Republican party for the past four
years. He said in part 'During the
last four years the Republican party
has been in charge of county affairs and
you know what the party has done for
you. The Democrats try to tell you
that the Republicans have wasted your
money. | submit to you that this is
not so. When have you had such good

THREW DYNAMITE INTO
COUPLES BED ROOM

An attempt to murder SOLO Kawa-
motto, a japanese laborer, and his wife
was made last night shortly before mid
night at the Waipahu plantation, a
stick of dynamite with burning fuse
attached being thrown into the room
where the couple were asleep,
The noise of the dynamite hitting
the bare board floor awakened the
sleepers in time to save their lives,
although the man received some severe
injuries from the explosion. Seeing the
spluttering fuse on the floor beside his
bed when he awoke, Kawamoto jumped
up, grabbed the dynamite from the
floor and rushed to throw it out of the
window. just as he reached the win
dow, however, the explosion came. In
a miraculous way the only injuries he
received were to the hand which grasp
ed the giant powder, this member be
ing badly shattered.
The force of the explosion was suf-
feient to wreck the room, smash the
bed to pieces and shake the camp
building up generally, but the wife es-
capped without a scratch.
No reason is known why anyone
should desire to kill either one of the
couple An investigation has been
commenced into the affair.

Hoy placed the matter in the hands of
Attorney A. S. Humphreys, who, after
considerable time spent in trying to
collect the amount, brought suit for the
two sums of $500 and the $3.50 costs.
On Humphreys advice, he offering
to remit his fee, Goo Wan Hoy finally
consented to accept Cathcart s note for

In this case Cathcart compromised a
claim of his client which the latter

the knowledge or consent of his client,
which is contrary to Hawaiian statute.
He concealed the fact from his client
that he had made such settlement.
He then, although continuously prom

1t took nearly another year before
