WHITE
is SUED
FATHER OF CHINESE BOY KILLED
BY AN AUTOMOBILE WANTS
DAMAGES.

Though the cOroner's jury found that
e. o. White, OF bhis city, was not GRIM
inally negligent in the accident few
weeks ago in which a Chinese boy
named Lau Kai Foy was killed by his
automobile, he was served this morn
ing with papers in a civil suit in
which $10,095 damages are demanded
by the father of the victim of the ac-
cident The papers were FLED in the
Circuit Court this morning by Attor-
ney e. c. Peters, former Attorney
General representing the plaintiff, Lau
Tong.
The sum of $4,000 damages is asked
for the death of the child to which is
added the sum of $50, which was paid
for funeral expenses and SIS which
was incurred in doctors bills. The
usual matters in regard to sorrow and
anguish caused by the death OF the
childSand the taking away of his earn
ing capacity from the parent, appear
in the document.
The accident took place on August
15 when White was driving along Be
retania street in his motor car The
dead boy was riding on the handle
bars of bicycle which was being pro-
PEELED by another Oriental and was
struck by the machine, being killed
almost instantly. The matter was
thoroughly investigated by the coro-
ner's jury, who paid a visit to the
scene of the accident, and heard the
testimony of number of witnesses,
all of whose stories did not tally. A
verdict of accidental death was re-
turned

For Wife,
Cruelty
DIVORCE GRANTED TO GUSTAVE
BECKERT ON ACCOUNT OF AG-
GRAVATED HEN-PECKING.

Gustave c. Beckert was granted a
divorce from Lucy 1. Beckett by Judge
Lindsay this morning. The case was
an interesting one on account of the
fact that it was granted on the ground
of cruelty, which is an unusual charge
of husband against a wife, though
rather common with the tables turned.
Beckett told his tale of woe to the
court under the guidance of his attor-
ney, G. w. Ashford, in such a manner
that Judge Lindsay fastened to grant
him the desired decree lest he should
be forced to undergo more such treat
ment
Athletic enthusiasm drove the mari
tai love astray and it wandered far
away, even to San Francisco. Beckert
is one of the oarsmen who have re-
presented the Myrtles in their many
winning contests against the Healanis
in the past few years and here his trou-
BILE started. Last year things looked
as if the Healanis would take a big

rivals, so the strictest of training rules
were enjoined on the members of the
crews. Beckett came home and told
his wife of the rules which he must
abide by that would enforce his in
habiting separate apartment from her
till after the contest, which caused her
great displeasure. There trouble start
ed and it kept up till the present time
In November last Mrs. Beckert wished
to go to San Francisco, and did go
much against her husbands wish, OBJ
tanning the needed funds from mem
bers of her family.
Another complaint against the wife
was that she nagged him cruelty, and
called him by names which, while not
blasphemous or verbally improper,
were very unpleasant and worried him
extremely. She also was very extra
VACANT and ran up bills beyond her
husbands means to pay, and the mem
tai worry from the various sources has
been such that Beckert has been order
ed to take a long rest for fear that he
will break down completely.

WAILUKU TOWN HALL

Papers were filed in the Registrar of
Conveyances' office this morning trans
ferring the title of the old courthouse
at Wailuku FROM the Territory to the
county of Maui. There was no con-
sideration named other than the full
fillment of certain conditions which
bind the county to use the building as
town hall and library. 1t is named
as town hall but still will be open
for use by the public of the entire
county when they may desire. The
document is signed by the Superinten-

HAWAII LIKELY TO
GO HOME RULE,
But FOR KUHIO
HOME RULERS ON THE BIG ISLAND COLLECTED BIG CAM
PAIGN FUND By ASSESSING oFFICEHoLDERs REPUBLICAN
BUSINESS MEN INTEREST IN THE CAMPAIGN
FAR-soME OF THE CANDIDATES.

Home Rulers will meet in convention
at Kailua. An effort is being made
to secure the S. S. Mauna Kea to leave
here with the delegates Wednesday
evening, returning Thursday night in
time for the regular trip to Honolulu,
The County Band will go along to fur
n1sh musical inspiration between the
periods of impassioned eioquence, with
which the delegates are primed.
The Home Rule organization stands
alone from financial standpoint. The
Democratic and Republican bodies are
paupers compared to it. 1t is stated
that an assessment of $15O per month
has been collected from the patrol
men, and $3.50 per month from the
captains-willy nilly. The higher ups
have also contributed their quota. The
fund amounts to nearly $500. The
Democratic supporters refuse to con-
tribute a cent, and the Republicans
likewise, but content themselves with
arraigning the financial reclklessness OF
those at present in Office.
The outlook for a Home Rule vic
tory, unless the Democrats pile UP a
larger vote than expected, is good. At
least so say the Home Rulers. Kuhio
will be solidly endorsed for Delegate.
The Republicans talk Of nominating
a candidate for County Attorney. If
they do, it is a gift to Williams, the
Home Rule candidate, of another
term.
If, however, they should reconsider
the matter, Harry Irwin, the Demo
cratic nominee, stands a good chance
Of election.

frowning. suspicious, obdurate.
Lachaud continued with his work,
however. and presently saw that his
opportunity had come. 1t was a hot
day, and ray of sunlight had pene-
trated crevice on the curtain and was
shining on top of the head of this jury
man, who was quite bald. The lawyer
paused In his argument and addressed
himself directly to the court.

said, ito order that the curtain In yon-
