DID KEPOIkAI KEEP HEIRS FROM THEIR
MONEY AND USE PART FOR HIMSELF?
lrrom saturaay,s AavertIserl

(From Saturdays AdVertlserJ
After hearing the statement Of a
committee from Maui Governor Frear
has ordered an investigation of charges
against Circuit Judge Kepoikai and
sent Deputy Attorney General Larnach
to Mani to make it.
The charges are that Judge Kepoi-
kai, in matter involving about s27oo
due the minor heirs Of one T. Mori,
denied a petition making a responsible
man guardian of the heirs and admins
traitor of the estate, appointing in his
stead an illiterate laborer named Krue-
ger; and that, by various transfers Of
the money IL came under the direct
control of Judge Kepoikai's court
whereupon, in September, 1905, the
Judge personally borrowed $1,000 Of the
$1,000, giving his note and paying, up
TO the present time but $50 on account;
and that, meanwhile, the minor heirs of
the late T. Mori, to whom the money be-
longs, have beer and are living upon
the charity of relatives. These facts
are set sorth as sufficient ground for
Kepoikais impeachment.
Governor Frear did not wish to 60
into particulars yesterday when re-
porter called upon him, saying that he
should await the report of Mr.. Lar
nneh, who left on the steamer last
night for Maui and would not return
until next week.
THE CHARGES IN DETAIL.
Following is an abstract of the
charges laid before the Governor:
In 1901, T. Mori, Japanese mer'
chant of Kohala, died, leaving fire
claim which was later paid by the gov
ernment, to the amount of $1,000. An
administrator was appointed by Judge
Kalua. Later Hon. Mkt Saito, the
Japanese Consul General, employed At
kinson, Judd and MottSmith to repre-
sent the children, minors, of T. Mori,
and at a later period, L. A. Mott-Smith
sent the duly authorized guardian of
the children The power of attorney
was sworn to by the U. s. Consul at
Yokohama and also by Consul General
Saito, and q petition filed in the Cir.
cult Court, over which Judge A. N. Ke'
poikai presided, asking that Attorney
D. II. Case be appointed guardian of
the children and administrator of the
estate, provided that the Judge held
that such course was necessary. The
petition was denied and Il. Kruger
was appointed guardian of the children
and administrator of the estate. Krue-
ger filed his final accounts with the
court on January II, 1905.
On July z, 1905, the money belong
ing to the estate, amounting to about
$25OO, was paid into the court by
check, made payable to f. II. Hart,
clerk. On the same date, the account
was changed in the First National
Bank of Waiiubu, from Il. II. Hart,
clerk, to the Second Circuit Court, as
trustee and on the same date, again,
the account was transferred in the Ma
tional Bank, from the Second Circuit
Court as trustee, to the general funa
of the Second Circuit Court
There the money lay until August
18th, when Judge Kepoikai borrowed
$1,000 of it, giving his note without
endorsement or other security, in tho
following terms:

EFFORTS TO RECOVER.

+. A. Mott-Smith, attorney in fact
for the children as petitioned, has writ
ten repeatedly, urging the court to
hurry the settlement of the estate, as
the children were practically destitute,
but up TO the present time, not one
cent has been sent to the children and
the money that is left lies idle in the
First National Bank at Wailuku,
available for another Judicial loan.
The children, to whom the money he
longs. are wretchedly poor and are fed
and clothed by poor relatives. Twen-
ty-fve hundred dollars with accumu.
lated interest, would be competency
to them in Japan.
If the charges are substantiated pro
eeedings TO impeach Judge KepOikei
will begin at once.

A. N. KEPoIKAI.

Here was an unsecured note to run
for three years at low rate of inter.
est, against money which should have
been promptly devoted to the relief of
the destitute heirs, the children of T..
Mori. Upon that note, two payments
of $25 each were made in 1905, since
when not a cent of principals or inter
est has been credited on that instru-
ment.

ANOTHER MINE DISASTER.

Another terrible disaster has overtaken the coal
mining industry of Pennsylvania this time in the
Rachel mine of the Pittsburg Buffalo Coal COM
pany at Mariana. The disaster came almost i'm
medlately after an inspection of the property had
been made, which fact seems to indicate that the
inspection of coal mines in Pennsylvania is not
done thoroughly and with view to correct the
conditions under which the miners are compelled
to work, or that coal mine inspection is impotent to
correct the conditions which cause explosions At
this writing more than fifty bodies have been re-
covered, and the town. which has enjoyed the dis
tlnction of being called the model mining town of
the world, has been cast into a gloom from which
1t Will take a generation to recover. 1t is not
known now how many miners lost their lives in the
disaster, and it is said that the number may never
be known. In the first reports, the mine officials
said there not more than 125 men who could
possibly be involved Later however, they said the
number might be 13S. Of the victims. it is esti-
mated that quarter of them are Americans
This accident will take its place in the annals
of American coal mining as one of the great dis
asteTs. 1t seems that matter what precautions
are taken accidents of this character will occur
with their attendant great loss of life 1t would be
unfair to say that any one person, or the officials
of the company responsible for the disaster I'M
til after a thorough examination. No matter what
precautions may have been taken to guard against
accidents, there may have been but one miner who
caused the disaster by some act of inadvertence
If So that miner will be able to tell the story
as no doubt he Is among the dead The work of re.
covering the bodies was undertaken immediately.
under the direction of trained experts, and it *
hoped that the work of rescue will not end so dis
astrously as did that work carried on by heroic
miners at Bingham recently. 1t is hard to read of
the narrowing scenes about the village, and hard
to think of the suffering, both mental and physical
which will result from the disaster. For the wives
and children Of the dead men, and for their parents
and relatives and friends we extend the sympathy
of the people of the intermountain region. And for
the dead we pray that God may rest their souls

EGGS AT 5 CENTS EACH.

There is one thing about the cold storage bust
ness that has been seldom touched upon, and that
is the price of eggs. When the cold storage sys-
TEN was perfected through the use of ammonia, and
ice factories began making ice in the time
it was predicted for the benefit of an optimistic
public that ice and things preserved with ice would
be cheaper. That that has not been the case is
patent to any observer of the present cost of liv
ing. Instead of getting cheaper, products have
gone up to wartime prices. In the old days, eggs
could not be bought during the winter time except
eggs that had been packed in lime. salt, brine or
sawdust. and those eggs never very popular
with discriminating public SO the cold storage
process was hailed as long-fet want, and it was
the opinion that eggs would become staple article
like salt and sugar. to be had at any time at a uni
form price. Losses through decay would be re-
duced to a minimum and eggs produced by the hen
in May would be quite good eggs laid
cold January morning. This notion has been eff
fectually exploded and the price of eggs has gone
up and up, the same as the price of meat and other
commodities which lend themselves readily TO stor-
age by the cold process. OF course, there is no
trust among the egg dealers and the cold storage
men, That theory is untenabe. for the vrtuous
dealer in eggs and the more than virtuous packer
The Intermountain Catholic. (Salt Lake City [Utah] ;) 1899-1920, 1908-12-05

not altogether true. For a great many years there
have been influences at work to nulify the efforts
of the church of God and new code of morality
has grown up to take the place of that taught by
the church. There have been seeds sown, and there
has been small-a very small-harvest IN San
Francisco. The hideousness of the conspiracy to
defeat the law and steal from the people as out
lined in the graft cases in San Francisco has its
echo in the attempted murder of the prosecuting
attorney. Now, if ever, should the people of the
coast city awaken to the enormity of the conspir-
acy, and now should they root out the whole polut-
edness and give to the other cities of the land an
example in civic virtue which may be held up as
model to be patterned after. But they can't do
that unless they enthrone God in their hearts once
more. All power to the Christian workers of our
western metropolis!
