Sturtevant received a shock of cleo
tricity sufficient to kill him before
he fell or was killed by the fall.
Many are of the opinion that the boy
received shock sufficient to kill him
before he fell.
At the inquest Fred Huntsman,
Fred Harris and the other young men
who were with Sturtevant this morn
ing gave testimony, which, however,
gave but little Information of i'm
portance more than related above.
1t was ascertained that there were
two live wires strung on the pole,
which is not unusual.
The young men who testified at
the inquest told of seeing Sturtevant
on his way up the pole, but none
saw him at the second when he start
ed to fall. Two saw him falling.
One theory, which seems very rea-
sonable and which has been accepted
by several who attended the inquest,
is as follows: The young man start
ed up the pole with his spurs in po-
sition. Naturally he did not fasten
his safety belt to the pole as he STRAIT
ed up. This is never done. The
belt is always fastened after the
point on the pole where work is to
be done is reached.
Naturally. and as all linemen ord
inarily do, Sturtevant looked down
at his feet as he climbed the pole in
order to see that his spurs were Sc
curely caught each time. He failed
to measure the distance to the wires
accurately, or else did not think of
touching live wire. His arms were
naturally a little above his face.
Suddenly his left arm and neck came
into contact with a live wire, he re-
ceived severe shock, loosened his
hold and fell to the ground.
The jury. after examining the re-
mains and hearing what evidence
there was, went up to the alley near
Belford avenue and examined the
pole. A verdict is expected late this
afternoon.
The remains of the young man
were prepared for burial this even
ing and tomorrow evening will be
shipped to the old home at Boulder
for interment. Mr.. and Mrs. Sam
Sturtevant and the sister, Miss Stur
tevant, will accompany the remains.
The deceased was a little over Is
years of age. He was a brother of
Samuel B. Sturtevant, the well
known druggist and member of the |
firm of Sturtevant-Quist Drug Com |
pany. He had resided here with a
young unmarried sister, they keep |
ing house on White avenue. Another |
sister, who is married, resides in

William Sturtevant was a splen-
did young man and was well liked by,
all who knew him. His circle of
close friends was a large one. His
sunny disposition and his straight
forward character won friendship
and esteem easily.
The officials of the electric light
company under whom the deceased
had worked speak only in the high
est terms of the young man. He was
an excellent, efficient and faithful
workman.
The untimely and tragic death of
the young man caused widespread
sorrow in the city when the an
nouncement of the death was circu-
lated.

Berlin, May 2.-That the imperial
government must borrow $3.50, 0,000,-
600 during the next five years was
the substance of an admission made
by the secretary of the treasury to
the appropriation committee of the
reichstag today. These borrowings
Will be necessary even though the
appropriations for each year are not
increased before 1912.
At the time this statement was
made the committee was discussins
a proposal of Chairman Pasaches.
National Liberal, for definite bill
from the government to fix sinking
fund requirements.
Herr Erzberger. Socialist said the
members of the committee must be
shocked by the government reck-
oning that a thousand million marks
more must be borrowed to cover the
annual deficits in the ordinary budg-
cts, for another five years and that
actually very much more probably
would be required. Continuing, Herr
Erberger made several illusions to
the burdens which this generation
was createing for subsequent ones
by the policy of spending far beyond
it's income.
Herr Sydow said he also was
shocked by the prospect of having
to borrow $3.50, 100000, and he de-
clared that the empire must under
all circumstances abandon its pres
ent borrowing policy.
The committee adopted Herr Paas-
sches' proposal that the government
present an amortization scheme.

But she lost no man and she lost
no gun, nor was there any more dis

the inconvenience bound to come with
good battle with angry waters and
still angrier winds.
She has been in touch by wireless
since $50 miles out and the wireless
did wonderful thing when 400 miles
were spanned by spark in the light of,

local record which has been covered
in the daytime with conditions unfav

Sor for the position to be vacated by
Hatch, it is generally understood by
those who are familiar with the condi-
tions in the Federal Court that Dep
uty Clerk A. r. Murphy, who has been
handling all the work during the alb
sence of the regular clerk, will get
the position. He has been in the of
flee for some time and his ability to
fill the position in satisfactory man
ner could not be questioned.
Following the advance of Murphy to
the position of clerk of the Federal
Court it is expected that Stenographer
Deas will also be promoted to the po-
sition made vacant. Deas has filled
the stenographer's position with such
fidelity that he is the natural success
sor of Murphy. His familiarity with
the Office will naturally fit him for
such a job better than one who has
not been in the office before. This
will of course leave a vacancy for a
stenographer and there will probably
be many applicants, though none have
appeared as yet, as the change in the
Office has only just been made public.
Hatch has been connected with the
Federal Court for the past six years.
His first position was that of deputy
clerk under Walter B. Mailing. When
the latter resigned he was advanced
. to the position which he has held for
a little over two years. The job is a
very good one, paying a salary of S3,-
900 per year. To this amount Hatch
has added a good deal by the work
which he has done as United States
Commissioner. In this Office the fees

tration of how the best man propa-
ganda works out in practice. Norman
Watkins was defeated by the votes OF
white Republicans in the fourth and
fifth precincts of the fourth district
who scratched Kane and voted for
Mcclellan. That Watkins was popular
in those two precincts is shown by the
fact that he led the ticket for super
visors with a vote of 469. The aver
age vote of the Republican candidates
for supervisors, other than Kane, was
422. Kane received only 25S, showing
that he was scratched to the tune of
164. The average vote of the Demo-
cratic candidates for supervisor, other

POSITION IN CALIFORNIA AND HIS RESIGNATION
IS PROBABLY wAY-DEPUTY
SUCCESSOR

Frank L. Hatch, clerk of the Fed
eral court of the Hawaiian Islands, has
resigned his position and will remain
in California where he has taken up
an interest in a commercial business.
Hatch left for the Coast some three
months ago on a vacation trip, but 1t
was understood at the time that he
would return to fill the duties of his
Office when the October term opened.
When that time came letters were re-
ceived from him asking Judge Dole
that his leave be extended. This was
granted and of late only has the news
of his resignation been received.
AS a matter of fact Hatch has not
actually resigned as yet. He has writ
ten and also cabled to Judge Dole.
From the letters it was expected that
Hatch would return on the transport
which is due here on about Novem-
ber IA or Is. He also wrote to friends
and relatives in this city that he
would return. Since that time, how
ever, Judge Dole has received cable
grams which show that Hatch has
changed his mind about returning.
When asked for information on the
subject Judge Dole said:
81 presume from cablegrams receiv-
ed from Mr.. Hatch, who is now in
California, that he has already for
warded to me his letter of resignation.

than Mcclellan, was 119. Mcclellan
received 294, showing that he received
IT'S Republican votes in the two pre-
cincts. For the whole county McClel-
Ian received 100 votes over Watkins.
Those who split their tickets expected
to defeat Hawaiian Republican and
elect a haole Democrat, but instead OF
doing that they beat the very man
they wanted most to elect. In sense,
it served them right, for honesty is
the best policy in politics as well as
in all other affairs. 1t is to be hoped
that the thoughtless "hens" will rea-
lize before it is too late that the
straight ticket doctrine is not political
buncome but practical common sense.

ADVANCE IN EVA

Eva stock advanced yesterday three
fourths of a point to. $27 rs, a small
lot selling at that figure. 1t is fully
expected that Eva will pay an extra
dividend of two per cent this month,
and there is some anticipation that
this will be repeated in December. The
payment of one of these dividends
would leave very large surplus in the
treasury at the end of the year, so
that at the least the resources for ru-
ture dividends on Eva stock are good
beyond question.
Oahu is also advancing, the asking
figure of yesterday, $2s.75, being the
selling price today.
HN-o-~%N-4NA
etc. have amounted as a rule to from
$75 to 500 per month. The position
of deputy clerk pays a salary of $500
per annum and that of stenographer,
$1200. This last is increased to a con-
siderable extent, however, by extra
work in the line of making transcripts
of testimony for use by the lawyers of
the city.
1t is understood that Hatch will take
the position of secretary with the Cali
fornia Material Dealers Association. OF
