BATH PRESCRIBED
FOR DYING MAN
Case Diagnosed as a Drunk
Death Follows His
Arrest.

After having been taken back and
forth from the police station to the
Queen s Hospital three times, given
medical treatment at the police station

officers and the police physician, George
Kaihenui died last night from a
hemorrhage of the brain. He had

at six o o'clock last night
George Kaihenui was young native
employed as a clerk in the Magoon
laundry. On Wednesday afternoon the
police were notified that he had fallen
off his horse in Kawaiahao lane and was
lying unconscious and probably injured
where he had fallen. The patrol wagon
was sent out and the man taken to the
hospital. There, after he had been
stripped and examined, his case was
pronounced to be that of drunkenness
and the patrol wagon drivers instructed
to take him to the police station and
lock him up.
All Tuesday night he lay unconscious
n his cell, being still unconscious when
DR.. Emerson called yesterday morning.
The police doctor examined the man
md pronounced him drunk, instructed
he TRUSTEES to give the man bath

NUUANU SHOWERS ONLY
MOISTEN UP GROUND

The several showers that fell in
upper Nuuanu Valley yesterday and
on Wednesday were taken up by the
thirsty ground and but little OF the
moisture has found its way into the
reservoirs. Although at several times
it appeared from the town that Jupiter
Pluvius was getting busy at the Pail,
as a matter of fact very little rain
fell, and the limited supply gathered
behind the toe of the new dam was
helped out to no appreciable extent.

settling reservoirs being in use. The

Judge H. E. Cooper resents the idea
that there was anything clandestine in
the deal worked up by him at Wash
ington whereby the Mahuka Federal
building site is to be exchanged for the
Irwin site, beside the Opera House. He
states that Governor Frear had full
knowledge of the mission that took him
to Washington and approved of the
work being done to bring the Federal
building nearer the Capitol. In an in
terview yesterday he referred to a
memorial which had been sent on to
Washington, signed by a number of
prominent men and stating several good
reasons why the building should be
located ON Palace Square. He further
states that Delegate Kalanianaole and
many Territorial legislators and other
officials have letters on file at Wash
ington, as a part of the memorial, stat
ing their preferences for the Palace
Square site, while f. B. McStocker,
chairman of the Civic Federation com.
mittee on parks and public improve
ments, had signed the memorial to
Washington, his signature following
that of L. A. Thurston as the second
on the list This memorial cannot as
yet be given out for publication with
out the authority of the signatories.
But the memorial in question and the
letters referred to WERE WRITTEN
AND SIGNED PRIOR TO THE PUR-
CHASE OF THE MAHUKA SITE, but

cit is fair to say that Governor
Frear knew and approved of the action
proposed to be taken,' said Mr.. Coop
er, "and l want that point made clear.
''I do not agree with the Federal
official quoted yesterday regarding the
statement that the Mahuka lots cannot
be exchanged because they were secured
through condemnation proceedings, be-
cause these condemnation proceedings
were brought at the instance of the
owners of the Mahuka site for the per
feeting of an otherwise imperfect title.
The matter stood between the Federal
government and the owners of the lots
on a contract; Special Agent Taylor
contracting to purchase the land for the
tracting to buy The only purpose of
the condemnation proceedings was to
meet the objections of the United
States District Attorney, who pronounc-
ed the title defective.
Regarding the taking up of sub
scription and the opening of new
street this has nothing to do so far
as the Federal government is concerned. |
The government did not solicit the sub !
seriptions nor ask for the street. only |
saving that the Mahuka site could not /

opened The subscriptions were solicit /

to erect a building on that site. 1t
was bought because the department con-
sidered itself morally bound to take
the lots under the Taylor contract.

supply has become so small that it is
thought best not to waste any by run
ming it from one reservoir to another,
while the little there is in the lower
reservoirs is so little and the surface
of the water so near the mud on the
bottom that any passing Nuuanu
breeze stirs up the whole body of
water and rolls it to such an extent
that it is unfit t, drink
The situation is getting more and
more critical as the days pass without
rain. and the anti-irrigation rules viii
have to be strictly observed if the do
nestle supply is TO be kept up to the
demand very much longer.

Thanksgiving Day was generally OBJ
served in Honolulu yesterday, the
church services in the morning being
crowded, the various athletic fields be-
ing attended in the afternoon by thou
sands of the holiday-makers, the beach
being thronged with bathers, cancers
and spectators, and the evening being
given over almost altogether to home
gatherings. Although there was much
going on, the day was a quiet one.
Downtown Honolulu had almost Sun
day appearance, with closed shops and
offices, and nearly deserted restaurants.
Church services were held at st. An
drew's, Kawaiahao, Central Union and
the Roman Catholic cathedral, each of
the church interiors being appropriate
ly decorated for the service of thanks.
A special church service and a
Thanksgiving dinner were given at
the prison, and there possibly quite as
much as anywhere else in the city was
the spirit of the day entered into.
AT CENTRAL UNION.
"Let us go back seventy-fve years,
or even fifty years. said Rev. A. C.
McKeever of the Christian church, in
pointing out in his Thanksgiving ser
mon yesterday at the union services in
Central Union church the things we cf
today have cause to be thankful for. |
Fifty years ago and these youug
men you see with me on this platform
would have found it necessary to go
with DR.. Scudder back to his study |
before the service and get inspiration
there for the service by drinking |
spirits. And then, after the hard, ex- |
service, when their inspira- |
tions for divine things came from tie |
bottle, they would have felt the neces- |
sity of going back again to that study |
and drinking again.
In those days, so [ have been told, |
you could always tell what denomina- |
tiOn minister represented by look |
ing in his saddle bags. If he had a |
ong black bottle there, he was a |
Roman Catholic; if it was a green
bottle, he was a clergyman of the |
Church of England; if big flask, he
was Presbyterian; and other bottles
went with other denominations That |
IS what they say.

business went from saloon to saloon in

merchant now who dares do that if he |

even if there had been any conversa
ton, I could not have heard much of
it on account of the constant booming
of the cannon and the singing of the
shells passing by, us. 1t was about
dark when we started back; and it was
a solemn thought to me that I had
General Jackson wounded and lying in
my ambulance.
cit was a regular army ambulance
being a spring wagon, strongly built,
and covered over with rounded hood
of canvas We ran like the wind along
the plank read. the canister shot from
the enemy scattering and singing
around us. The wonder was the ambu-
lance was not struck time and again:
but we escaped with one hole through
the top of the hood, made by a spent
ball. We We're a solemn crowd. If
there was any talking going on. I did
not hear it. I know I was busy Won
dering whether we were going to get
out or not.
ut was not long before we came to
where there had been a bridge which
had been burned. and I had to turn
aside into the bed of the stream to
get to the other side. It was rocky
and rough down there. and I tried my
best to drive easily; for l was thinking
of the wounded men. 1t was then
that General Jackson said to me,
Driver, drive carefully, please I an
swered, General, I'll do my best, but
if 1 hold in my horses, they will be
sure to balk.'
Il had two horses bay mare and
a sorrel horse. and. whenever I tried to
hold the sorrel in from going fast, he
would invariably balk. However, / did
the best I could until we got on the
smooth road again.
General Jackson seemed to be Wor-
ried on account of Colonel Crutchfield,
who was badly wounded in the leg.
Both of them We're lying on their sides
in the ambulance.
when we reached the field hospital,
the surgeon jumped out and got some
stinulants for the wounded men, AT
this time a guard was placed about the
ambulance, to keep the army from find
ing out who the wounded officers were;

THE H|LO GRAND
AND It's WORK
A Large Number of Matters
That Were Dealt
With.

HILO, July 16.-At II o clock on
Monday morning the grand jury sub
mitted the following report, and was
excused till further notice:
Your grand jurors have investigated
an alleged case of the use of unlawful
influence resulting in the obtaining of
warrants in payment of accounts
against the County of Hawaii and have
found absolutely no grounds to sub
stantiate such allegations.
A complaint of the existence of IT.
Irregularities in the payroll of the Road
Supervisor of the North Hilo district
has also been Investigated, but no evil
dence was produced that any such ir-
regularities existed.
The police force and its efficiency
was gone into and your jurors are thor
oughly satisfied with the conduct and
efficiency of the Hilo police force.
At the request of taxpayer the
Treasurer s method Of dealing with
special road deposits was investigated
and it was found that under a mis-
apprehension of the law on the sub
ject, special road deposits to the credit
of some of the districts had been drawn
upon to pay overdrafts to other dis
tricts. Your jurors feel no wiIful
wrong has been committed but that
this violation of the law has occurred
through the ignorance of the one in
control of this office.
The sentiment of this grand jury Is
that more suitable quarters be provid-
ed for jury work, both trial and grand,
and we would ask the assistance of
your honor in an endeavor to better
the existing condition of affairs.
A vote of thanks to Deputy Attor-
ney General Larnach for his able and
courteous assistance to this grand jury
in their labors was passed unanimously.
There being no further business
brought before this grand jury they
herewith present themselves to your
honor for instructions
