MURDERER AFTER ESCAPING UN-
ABLE TO RESIST DESIRE
10 RETURN
August Eberhard, Murderer Of His
Aunt at q Lonely Spot in New Jer-
sey, Captured Yesterday Murder
e. Said he Needed Aunt ! Money to
Wed N. 7. Girl.

New York, N. Y, July 23.-Drawn
back to the scene Of his crime by
;a force he could not resist, August
Eberhard, self confessed murderer Of
his aunt, Mrs. Otillie Eberhard, a
Yiennese widow, whom he lured to
q lonely spot in New Jersey q few
days ago and shot to death, was
captured near Paterson, N. j., today,
and is now q prisoner In the Hack
ensack jail.
What interests the authorities the
most In the confession Eberhardt
made to them late today was the
reason he gave for committing the
crime. Eberhard said that he was
in love with a New Yorn girl and
that he needed money to marry her,
20, knowing that his aunt had $2,-
500, he plotted to kill her and steal
the money. Dberhard says he also
intended to kill his pretty cousin,
ptillie Eberhard, to- whom he was
engaged, 80 that nothing would be
in the way Of his marriage to the
New York girl.
Hollow eyed, with cheeks drawn
and with a look OF a hunted animal
on his face, Eberhard was found "
ing on the lawn Of a residence just
outside Of Paterson. There was an
ugly looking wound In his right leg,
which the murderer first said had
been inflicted by Italians who at
tackled him, but which he afterwards
confessed was inflicted by himself so
as to make the police believe he had
been wounded on the night his aunt
was killed.
When Eberhard was searched not
a penny was found in his pockets.
Eberhard said that he had buried
the money he stole from his aunt.
He led the detectives to tree near
Little Falls and there dug up a bun
die Of bills. There was $2,40O In the
bundle, which is the amount that
was stolen, as the murderer left a
small amount OF money in the bosom
Of his aunt's waist, SO as to give the
impression that she had been robbed.
Eberhard had also buried his own
pocket book containing $26. so as
to bear out his story. that he had
been attacked by Italians and robbed.
Eberhard says that he and his ac-
complice escaped from the scene Of
Of the crime on west-bound train.
He declared that he passed through
Albany, Troy and Buffalo into Cam
ada and on his way to Detroit and
Chicago without being recognized by
the police. When he reached Chicago
he says that an Irresistible power
compelled him to return to the
scene OF the crime.

Disease
In Schools
A VERY LARGE PROPORTION OF
TRACHOMA SUBJECTS FOUND IN
THREE INSTITUTIONS.

To drive disease from the public
schools of Honolulu is one of the tasks
which Dr. Hayes the new Government
physician, has addressed himself to-
and the need of work of this kind has
been well shown by his inspection of
three of the local institutions. His re-
ports on the Kalihi-waena. Pohukaina
and Moanalua schools show that out

are afflicted with trachoma and %
with conjunctivitis, which will develop
into trachoma in all probability.
In this proportion is kept up, and
it will probably be increased in some
localities. it will mean that nearly one
out of every eight of the children who
attend the public schools have an eye
disease, springing from a most loath-
some source, and which will be sure
to cause them great trouble later in
life.
DR.. Hayes report shows in a most
conclusive manner the need or rather
the necessity of regular medical ex-
animation in our schools, on the same
lines as found in the cities of the East.
Trachoma is naturally the disease
found in the greatest profusion and
fourishes principally among the Orien-
tails. who form such large percentage
of the local scholars. No vaccination,
or extremely faulty vaccination, is al
so noticeable.
In the Kalihi-waena school DR..
Hayes examined 361 children and was
only able to give certificates of good
health to 241 of that number. Thirty
six were at fault in regard to vaccina-
ton and thirty had trachoma. At the
Pohukaina school 240 were found to be
O. k. and 1872 were refused, of whom
40 had trachoma and 90 conjunctivitis.
At the MCanalua school, of the SO eX-
amined only 20 could pass the requir-
ed tests.

MEETINGS OF COMMITTEE AND
AN IMPORTANT LETTER FROM
H. P. BALDWIN.

There is to be meeting of Repub-

cutive Committee at five O'Clock to-
morrow afternoon, for the purpose of
Strengthening out some little misun-
derstandings. This was one of sew
eral matters discussed at a meeting of
the executive this afternoon.
Another meeting of the Executive
Committee will be held at five O'Clock
this afternoon to consider finances.
Delegate and Candidate Kalanianaole
is expected back in Honolulu for the
Orpheum rally on Friday evening of
next week.
1t was planned that Kalanianaole
and Territorial Chairman Atkinson, to-
gether with Judge Mahaulu, should
take the Mauna Kea from Hawaii this
week, discriminating at McGregor's
Landing Friday night for a tour of
Maui
There is a chance that this sche-
dule will be changed on account of an
earnest letter from H. P. Baldwin,
urging a more extended visit to Maui
than that planned. Mr.. Baldwin sug-
gests that the party take the Claudine
and land at Hama on the 18th or goth,
proceeding thence by way of Makawao
to Waikiki. He also advises a trip to
the Molokai Settlement. In his let
ter Mr.. Baldwin shows concern over
the spell that McCandless has thrown

as well as of Hawaii.
