VOLCANO WATER MAN
SUED FOR DIVORCE

summons in divorce proceedings
brought by Jennie Williams against H.
L. Williams appears in this issue. Will
liams is the man who had charge of
the manufacture of volcano Water"
in Puma several years ago. After Sc
curing financial backing and organic
ing a company he began the bottling
of water that came through an under
ground passage in the Puma district Of
Hawaii. At times the water was warm
and 1t always had a somewhat sui
phurOus taste but it failed to catch
on with the public and after losing
several thousand dollars, some say
thirty thousand, the company went out
of existence. Before leaving Puma Will
liams was given a license to practise
law in the district court and for time
did well. He left there, finally, and
located in Alberta, Canada, and began
boring for oil in the vicinity of Ed
mondton. Several Hilo people went
there and Joined him, one of them a
prominent lawyer and one or two who
remained in Hilo put money in the en-
terprise 1t was not more successful
than the volcano water business and
the last the HiIo people heard of Will
liams was that he had gone to Toncpah
during the boom. Two Of his associates
in Edmonton also located in the gold
diggings and are doing well. Williams
may be there also. The wife is the
daughter of Dick Douglass who died
suddenly in Kiley's place on Hotel
street while eating breakfast.

TESLA
DIES IN PRISON

Louisa Tesla died at Oahu prison
about midnight Monday night, of pneu-
monia. She was a daughter of F. j.
Tesla.
In local police annals, Louisa Tesla
has been the leading character in sew
eral lively chapters. She was married
about ten years ago, when still girl
in her teens, and several years ago was
separated from her husband by divorce,
he, eventually, leaving the Islands
Then for several years she led a life
that brought her into frequent collision
with the police, and led her to spend
longer or shorter periods CON the
reef.'
A little over year ago good deal
of interest was aroused by the an
nOuneement that Louisa intended to
lead new life; that she had Joined
the Salvation Army, and would there
after appear in blue uniform and poke
bonnet. No one seems ever to have
seen her in Salvation Army costume,
but at any rate for year or so the
police court missed her entirely, until
few weeks ago she was brought in
and sent over for thirty days. 1t was
while serving that sentence that she
died. Pneumonia took her after a
short illness. She died at the early
age of twenty-four, after life that
measured much longer than that in ex-
perienee. She sleeps in Makiki GENE
terry.

GHOSTS FIGHTING BOB EVANS SAW

While all the world is talking
about Fighting Bob" Evans as
the Admiral of great fleet of
warships making voyage unpre-
cedented in naval history, perhaps
It might not come amiss to say
something of him along less ma
terial lines than those of steel
clad vessels, Most famous men,
great in material accomplishment,
have their leanings toward the i'm
material, and not a few of them
have had "afmiliar spirits" Ad-
mral Evans is notion intimate
terms with any ghosts that | know
of, but he has had experience with
them, and he can tell his expert
ence with very creepy and uncanny
eIrects.

weird tales he told me one Sun
day night at the home of Secre-
tary of War Lamont in Washing

captain ther, but ghosts are no re-
specters of rank. Somebody in ouI
small party of half dozen had
told, a ghost story, when a bright

by this time Ensign Evans was
not feeling very anxious to go on
win his part of the funeral but
he had his orders and they must
be obeyed His boats crew deposit
ed the coffin in the boat, all was
made ready and they rowed slowly
out to sea. Here a cannon ball was
attached to the foot of the coffin
and It was quietly dropped into the
waves, which were running con-
siderazly higher than in the road
stead. 1t was all over, and with
q deep breath of relief the ensign
gave the command TO return to the
snip.
From his place in the stern of
the boat he could not see where
the coffin had been dropped and
| he did not want to. Before a half
| dozen strokes of the oars had been
made the ensign noticed that the
faces OF his crew were whitening
and the man Immediately facing
him dropped his oars. 1t was a case
of fear of the sort that men do not
| try to resist. and the ensign knew
what caused it, but he did not dare
to look back. lie was busy think
ing what there was for him to do.
"lt's after MS, sir" whispered
the sailor who had dropped his
oars, and this fearsome sentence
acted upon him as a bracer. He
looked over his shoulder and, there

leaps, was the coffin, half submerg-

informed by the authorities that as

in the simple wooden box made
out of odds and ends by the car

since evening of the day before,
/ and just as the sun was sinking
below, the quiet waves OF the road

around to hear the burial service

In the midst Of the service, as

Evans had no trouble In getting
his men TO take the boat back In
