BLAME PUT ON DISTRICT
Said to Be Responsible for Acciden
Near Anacostia.
WILLIAM HURLEY IS VICTIM
Was Digging at Forty-Fcot EN-
bankment When the Cave
In Occurred.

A bluff of earth, towering forty feet
high. tumbled down without warning this
morning upon William Hurley, a young
man. crushing out his life.
Citizens In the locality where Hurley
met his death claim that the District
government is responsible for the fatal
ity, and they urge that a rigid investi-
cation should be made into the matter.
The scene of the accident is in the
southeast corner Of the District of CO.
lumbia. near the Livingston and Barnaby
Branch roads. about four miles beyond
Anacostia. The remains OF young Hur-
ley have been taken to the morgue to
await the decision of Coroner hewitt
Hurley, who was twenty-seven years
old. went to the bluff which rose sheer
and without any slope. to get load OF
dirt. with which to fill a ditch. He reached
the place a few minutes past O'Clock
and had taken but a few shOvelfulS OF
Gamer
1t is believed the 1oosening of gravel
and rocks from above gave him the first
warning of the cavern. Looking upward
he must have seen the great mass of
earth descending upon him. Becoming
bewildered. he ran in the wrong direction
and was caught beneath many tons OF
sand. From this living tomb Hurley, if
life remained in him. could not eXtricate
himself. nor could he give an alarm, as
the earth was piled high upon him.
Discovered by Boy.
Fully twenty minutes elapsed before
Arthur Hayes, a boy. the son of Hur-
ley's employer, William Hayes. went to
the bluff to get load Of earth. He at
once noticed that the bluff had fallen and
Hurley was missing. The lad notified his
uncle, John Hayes. who conducts a res
taurant across Barnaby branch. A tele-
phone message was sent to Lieut.. Ander-
son. in command of the Anacostia police
force, and another message was phoned
to No. chemical engine company
Pending the arrival of the police and
firemen. Mr.. Hayes summoned all the
men and boys he could find in the neigh
borhood and the work of uncovering the
sorts of implements We're brought into
play and some of the men and boys used
their hands in throwing aside the sand.
The message sent to the chemical COM
pany was misunderstood and the COM
pany went in the direction of the Walker
road. neceSsitating siX-mile trip before
the scene of the accident was reached.
In the meantime Lieut.. Anderson, Sergt.
Stevens and Policemen Brown, Ogle and
Strobe of the Anacostia station reached
the place in the patrol wagon and work
ed hard to uncover the body of Hurley.
DR. Arthur n. Meloy of Anacostia a so
responded, and when the remains were
unearthed gave it as his opinion that
death had resulted from suffocation and
shock.

SomervilIe said that no direct order had
been given to Isham not to permit the
erection.
In view OF his name on the inspectors
slips he was asked who signed it. He
shook his head
To this point all the testimony was
confusing as to what authority Isham
had in the matter of inspecting the steel

Mr. Donaldson Somervile outlined the
duties of the inspector on the wrecked
structure as including thee duty of MAX

And Mr.. Donaldson thought 1t meant go
ahead and put up the building.
Counsel Choke Off Answer.
Now how do YOU account for that?'
Somerville started to make a reply. but
Lis attorneys prevented him.
Scmerville was asked about the regula-
ton requiring that the material with
stand a pressure of $4,000 pounds per
square inch.
He said that the iron was being tested
this morning at the bureau OF standards.

change some lands in Makawao for it,
the Makawao lands, it being said, are
suitable for pineapples and therefore
for homesteads.

HAMA JAPANESE MAY
HAVE BEEN MURDERER

Hama, Maui, has a mystery, Samura,
well-to-do japanese planter, having
disappeared, leading many of his
friends to believe that he has been
murdered and his body hidden away
or thrown into the sea. 1t is three
months since he was last seen and no
trace of him has been found, after a
long and diligent search.
Samura was planting cane under
contract for the Hama Mill, and just
before his disappearance had been
paid, as his net profit on eleven acres
of cane, 1901, ON the reces>,r of which
he gave dinner to the Japanese of
the camp and told them of his success
as a planter. Two days afterwards,
although he had fifty acres more in
cane and no reason for leaving, he dis
appeared. Thousand dollars in gold
disappearing with him. He was not
in debt, on the contrary having out on
loans between three and four hundred
dollars.
No trace of him has been found nor
any reason discovered why he should
go and stay away of his own accord

Associate Justice Ballou and A. L.
C. Atkinson are arranging very in
teresting souvenir of his visit TO these
Islands for Secretary of the Interior
James r. Garfield. It is an album of
photographs illustrating his arrival
here, his tours of the Islands, and his
departure.
1t begins with photographs of the
special service squadron, on which he
arrived. There are pictures of his
landing from Maine, and of his drives
around the city in an auto. Then there
begins the pictorial history of his
tours. These include not only snap
shot pictures of the Secretary himself
at various places and under various
circumstances, but of the regions visit
ed, of houses, bridges, sugar mills, cat
tie ranches, and coffee and pineapple
plantations
A large share of the picture were
actually taken on the tours themselves,
but in order to more fifty represent the
country and give a eompleter idea of
its character, photographs have been
seeured from a number of sources.
There are a considerable number of
Mr.. Gartley's photographs, and Mr..
Francis Gay has contributed con-
siderable number of scenes from Ka-
mai.
The top and the crater of Haleakala
are presented in an excellent series of
photographs. The Volcano of Kilauea
is also well represented. The canyon
of the Waimea River on Kauai and
the Napali coast are excellently shown.
The concluding pictures show the st.
Louis and the departure of Mr.. Gar
field. Tt is a unique souvenir and no
doubt Mr.. Garfield viii appreciate it
very highly.
