PLANTATION
BREAKING RECORDS
MORE THAN HALF CROP GROUND AN EXCESS
OF TONS OVER THE ESTIMATES IS SHOWN JUICE
TELLS TALE OF PROSPERITY wAIALUA is EXPECTED TO
ESTIMATES THOUSAND TONS SUGAR

With a little over half the crop
ground, Oahu Plantation has produc-
ed over twenty-four hundred tons
more sugar than was estimated and
Manager Bull is in the receipt of con-
gratulations upon the fine showing
from all who have heard the good
news. Up to the present time the
Oahu mill has turned out 1854 tons
of sugar and the cane fields which
have already been cut were estimat-
ed to yield but 1888 tons, thus MAX
ing a clear excess of 24O1 tons over
the estimated product.
As is the case almost all over the
islands the fine quality of juice is the
cause of the excess. The present sea-
son with plenty OF sun, which has
meant lots of juice and comparative
ly a small amount of fibre, has been
an unusually good one for these ISL
ands
1t is stated and on good authority,
though not coming direct from the
plantation agents, that Waialua is ex-
pected to run at least 1000 tons over

SHOCK Of TRAGEDY
.PROSTRATESWOMAN

Three children playing in a house
in which was a loaded shotgun. yes
terday afternoon at Watertown, Pearl
Harbor, resulted in the death of the
two-year-old daughter of Steve Berri,
gan, head engineer for the Hawaiian
Dredging Company, the baby receiving
the discharge in the abdomen and
lingering an hour and half. The
shock apparently dulled pain, and
death, though slow, was seemingly
without agony
At o'clock the child went to Cap
tain Parkers house, adjoining Benz
gans, and played with her five-year-
old sister and the little Parker boy
The children got hold of the gun and il
was discharged, the load passing
through a screen door on the other
side of which baby Berrigan was.

count of the schock of the tragedy that

In the not altogether explained death
of NJ. ]. McGannon a chronic inebriate
has departed this life for a protracted
period of sobriety, but that does not
settle the question as to why science,
in the character of the Queens Hospi-
tai emergency medical examination
corps, failed to find that the man was
injured.
McGannon was picked up from the
gutter in front of the entrance to the
Criterion saloon, corner of Bethel and
Hotel streets, shortly after 11:3O
o'clock Monday night, sent to the hos
pita1, declared drunk and nothing else,
taken to cell, later discovered to be
sleeping too soundly, and taken to
the hospital again where he died un-
der a second examination. The Sec
ond examination developed, beyond
peradventure of a doubt that the
phenomenon of death had manifested.
Police and hospital people say there
was no mark of injury. Nevertheless,
there was mopped from the sidewalk
in front of the Criterion enough blood
to have indicated, to an observer,
either an external wound or an inter
nal hemorrhage. Certainly the blood
on the pavement could not have been
mistaken for anything McGannon
may have been drinking.
An inquest, by the way of endeavor-
ing to throw some light on the method
of McGannon's DEATH will be held this
evening.
McGannon, though there has been
created an impression to the contrary
had not been drinking in the Criterion
saloon. He had not been in there al
all on Monday evening. This fact is
evidenced by the late watch at the
Criterion. He acquired his farewell
jag, for there seems no doubt that he
had been drinking heavily elsewhere
Incidentally he was generally refused
anything to drink in the better class
saloons and the Criterion force always
made it a point to chase him out.
When closing time came, Monday
night, a Japanese employe of the Cri
terion went out to close the iron gates
and noticed a quantity of blood on The
pavement He removed the ugly stall
as we'll as he could see at that time tC
do. In the morning a Portuguese EN-
ploye was set to work to remove blood
stains that had not been removed th'
night before. So it may be seen tha
McGannon must have had some injur!
to have spilled so much blood.
From the attitude in which the in
jured man was lying and from oths
indications it is probable that McGan
non fell, while crossing from the mau
ka side of Hotel street, striking hi
blow against the hard curb, inflictini
a mortal wound, the eyebrow possbl,
serving to hide external indications o
the injury. Whether the blood cam
from his mouth or his forehead is no
certain.
Possibly the fumes of liquor mad

poses at the point mentioned. It is
understood that the railroad company
is liable to take the same stand.
In speaking of the stand which
would be taken by the Anti-Saloon
League in the matter superintendent
Woolley made the following statement
this morning:
I'VE will fight the establishment Of
a saloon at Leilehua just as hard as
we can, regardless of the statement
that only beer will be sold to the sol
diers. While | realize that the officers
of the Fifth Cavalry are in a difficult
position, | do not think that it is
right to evade the expressed wish OF
Congress that liquors shall not be sold
on military reservations. 1t seems to
me certainly an attempt at evasion to
encourage the placing of a saloon just
across the line.
that the proposition of selling beer
alone will simply encourage the sell
ing of so-called hard liquor illicitly
A man who gets drunk on beer will
want whiskey and the blind pigs will
flourish. The time has come to deter
mine whether the number of saloons
here shall be increased or kept az
now, if not diminished. AS l say We
are not influenced by the plan to sci
beer only to the soldiers"

Care of the Hands.

The majority Of people 90 not know
that the condition Of the hands and laiis
IS indicative OF the general condition Of
the health. Poor blood and an IL
nourished body will Just so surely result
in a hand scraggy OF outline and lacking
the color Of perfect health. Defective
circulation is often responsible for rough
and red hands. and those who are TOO
fond Of the good things Of life should not
complain If their hands are what the
English call ''podgy'' and lacking in
grace The fact that a severe illness
will cause the muscles OF the hand TO be-
come habby and the nails brittle and
dull is rather conclusive proof that
the general tone Of the system IS shown
in the condition OF the hands.
Now for the remedy IN the first place
keep the hands clean. At night Insure
the removal Of all soil that may have
settled in the outer portion Of the pores.
To DO this successfully the hands must
have a good lathering in very warm
water and a brisk treatment with the nail

manipulate each joint pressing gently
around each finger tip 70 encourage a
tapering. and firmly massage all Of the
muscles and flesh, says the Boston
Herald.
Follow this with a series OF vigorous
gymnastics as follows:
l. Stretch out the arm with the palm
upward, firmly clinching the hand. Ten
times.
?. Bend each finger toward the palm
in turn and repeat ten times Exercise
the thumb in the same way
3. Turn Of bend the wrist. so that the
back of the hand lies Uppermost and re-
peat ten times.

sort will result in an improved condition
Of both fat and thin hands. II glycerin

solution that can be used TO keep the
hands both white and soft than q mix
