JAPANESE
CEMETERY
CHARTER ASKED FOR BY AN AS
ISOLATION is BEING AMENDED
BY OFFICIALS.

! petition for a charter has been
received by Treasurer Campbell from
the Japanese Cemetery Association
which plans to go into business in this
city in the near future The petition
is very broad in character and wishes
to have all manner of privileges, with
out any safeguards. 1t is proposed,
for instance. that there shall be no
capital stock and that none of the Of
ficers or trustees of the association
shall be liable for debts which may be
incurred by it unless these are con-
trary to the bylaws. When the At
torney-General and Treasurer get
through with it the document will
probably present a very material
change.
1t is stated that the association has
obtained an option on a parcel of laid
makai of the old Moiliili church, which
has been approved of by the Board of
Health as a location for a cemetery
both in regard to location and as to
character of the soil.

MORE WATER
FOR KAHULUI
PLANS OF CAMPBELL GIVE PRO-
MISE OF SECURING ADEQUATE
SUPPLY.

Kahului may look forward to bet
ter supply of water in the very near
future, according to a statement made
by Superintendent of Public Works
Campbell this morning. He made this
ascertain after a conversation with
Hugh Howell, the county engineer of
Maui, who is at present in the city on
business. Mr.. Campbell has called at
tention to the need of some changes
at Kahului for some time and stated
that he had been carefully saving up
money for this end till finally enough
has been obtained to start on preli-
minaTy work.
Mr.. Campbelrs work at present will
be confined to making improvements
in the intake, which will help out the
supply to some extent, but in the end
he hopes to obtain an appropriation
from the Legislature which will allow
the construction of a reservoir in
the sandhills above, the town and give
a full supply for protection against
fire as well as for domestic use.

GROWTH or BOARDING
SCHOOL IN A DECADE


Mr.. and Mrs. Levi c. Lyman last
week temporarily severed a connection
of eleven years with the Hilo Board
ing School of which they took charge
in 1897 the staff consisting of four
teachers and one assistant, with forty
boys on the roll.
Since then the Lymans have seen
$4,000 expended in new buildings that
furnished class rooms, a dining hall
and dormitories, besides the erection
of two teachers cottages. A dairy farm
has also been started with a couple of
new buildings for its uses.
The work shops, which were badly
housed eleven years ago, have been
moved into the old school building and
the following additions have been
made to the mechanical end of the
school; an electric motor, q lathe, a
band saw, an emory wheel, a rock
crusher seven anyils and FORCES, a
poi machine, printing press and

CASE Up
BILL TEST CASE GOES
DIRECT TO THE SUPREME
COURT.

The trial of the case of John Emme-
luth VS. the Board of Supervisors for
Oahu County did not take place this
morning before Judge De Bolt as
had been expected. The case was
called on time but was reserved to the
Supreme Court by the judge. This
was probably done in order that the
matter may be settled as quickly as
possibly. Should the trial be held
in the Circuit Court it would natural
ly occupy some little time and with the
elections SO close at hand haste is con-
sidered to be necessary.
Judge De Bolt handed down the fol-
lowing written reservation on the sub
ject:
This case came on for hearing be-
fore me on the petition and demurrer
OF the parties, l have reserved the
whole case for the consideration Of the
Supreme Court of Hawaii upon all the
questions arising under the petition
and demurrer and for such purpose
report the whole case to the Supreme
Court

BIG INCREASE IN THE CRIMINAL
WORK IN THE UNITED STATES
COURT.

In the last two years a complete
change seems to have come over the
character of the cases which have
been brought before Judge Dole in the
Federal District Court. Up to that
time the civil cases were many in num-
Der and occupied large part of the
courts time, while in the past two
years, and especially in the past
twelve months, the criminal casea
have increased in number to so great
an extent that they oversnadow the CT
vii matters.
In the fiscal years of 1905 and 1906
there were 1877 civil cases before the
Federal Court while in the last two
years there have been but "a, a de-
crease Of 43 cases, which Is the total
number which came before the court
in the twelve months ending June 80.
In the criminal matters exactly the
opposite has occurred. In 1907 and
1908 there were $50 cases as against
ia for the two previous years, show
ing an increase of GO. The larger part
of this increase came in the past
twelve months, when there were 1865
cases brought Defove the court in COM
parison to 1O9 for the p eyious period.
The largest number of cases of any
one class was for the crime of coun-
terfeiting, passing counterfeit money
and the like. OF these cases there

Charles Smith, who lives in one of the Sch nable cottages. is also moving his home. \ number of cottages in the rear of these residences have either ground upon which they stood has been swept down stream. The eddies which are being formed as the river cut into this territory, are what is causing the bank to cave so rapidly.
 The Court House Annex.
 In the absence of County Judge James Gould, who is in Washington ill an effort to get an immediate ap- |propriation for river work here, Sheriff c. M. Philpot has assumed charge of the affairs of Jefferson |county' and he is preparing to repair the river bank in the rear of the Jefferson county court house and it's big annex, which has been left standing on the edge of the river bank, minus it's windows, doors and |entire furnishings. An effort will be made to save the annex, although En- gineer Parkin told Sheriff Philpot yesterday that he thought it useless to attempt to save the structure. The building will have to oe torn down." said MT. parkin. He advised Sheriff Philpot, however, to place a mattress, 400 feet long and 100 feet wide, in the river at the rear of the county's property. The mattress. if placed, will be rocked and piles will be driven immediately to strengthen the bank. The county officials fear q rainfall which would soften the bank and probably cause the, rear wall of the building to slide into the river.
 Although the river continues to fall rapidly the situation in the eastern part of the city instead of improving seems to be growing more serious.

REV. ROSS MOORE
 CANNOT RECOVER
Is Gradual, Passing Away at the Florence Sanitarium-7Aged Par ents and Brother Arrived at His Bedside Wednesday.

The condition of Reverend Ross Moore, the popular and brilliant pas tor of the First Baptist church, who has been seriously i'll for several days at tho Florence Sanitarium, was still critical at an early hour this morning and it was stated there that he would hardly pass through the night. He remained unconscious Wednesday and no hopes for his re- covery were entertained by attend ing physicians.
 His aged parents. MT. and Mrs. K. N. Moore. of Obion, Tenn, and his brother, James Moore, of Carruthers- vile. Mo, arrived during the day and joined Reverend Moore's family at his bedside. Another brother, Edward Moore, of Grand Falls, Texas, will ar- rive here today.
 All day Wednesday friends made inquiry as to the condition of Rev erend Moore. Hundreds of friends vis- ited the Infirmary and anxiously awaited some good news but his con- dition showed no improvement and they went away sorrow stricken. His devoted wife, who has boon with him continuously remains at his bedside hoping for the best She Is grief stricken and their many friends are making every effort to console her.
 Reverend Moore is displaying re- markable vitality. His physicians say that he is growing weaker and weak CT as the hours go and that he can not possibly recover. His death will cast gloom of sorrow over the en- tire community, for no man in this city or state, enjoys greater popular ity or is held in higher esteem that does Reverend Moore.
