RADERMACHER'S SKULL
SHOWS BULLET HOLE

The skull of the late L. R. RAIDER
macher, whose life was ended on the
slopes of Diamond Head on or about
April i or 2, 1907, was brought to the
police station last night and given
over to the keeping of Deputy Sheriff
Rose. Z large hole shows in the top
of the skull just at the top of the
forehead line.
This appears to have been the exit
of bullet which penetrated the head,
and indicates that Mr.. Radermaeher in
taking his life placed the muzzle
either in his mouth or at the left
temple The bullet in either case
would range upward.
The skull was with the rest of the
skeleton when first discovered last
week by butcher boy who chased a
mongoose through the bushes off the
Kahana road. He reported that a
whole skeleton was there. When Dep
utv Sheriff Rose found the remains,
the skull was not there. 1t was learn
ed later that boy in the neighbor-
hood was in possession of skull. The
boy states that he saw the skeleton
there and brought away the skull, not
thinking about reporting his ind TO
the police.

CHINESE BUYER
SORE At OFFICIAL

Chang Chau has received letter
from s. T. Kong, who passed through
here on the Korea recently on an i'm
portant mission to the United States
from China, to the effect that he had
received such treatment from the In
migration officials that he had decided
to take a 100000 order he has now
to place to Europe, and to follow that
with all succeeding orders. The fol-
lowing from the San Francisco Call
explains his mission:
s. 7. Kong, who graduated from the
mining college at the University of
California with the class of '05 and
later took postgraduate course at
Columbia university, returned from
China yesterday, commissioned by the
government of Human province to make
extensive purchases of mining machin-
cry to be used in the development and
working of vast lead deposits in cen
trail China. Kong is now chief engi-
neer and general manager of the HUI
nan Imperial Smelling works, mining
and metallurgical expert for the Human
government and member of the gov
eminent commission on mining indus
try and machinery. He expects and
wants to make his purchases in the
United States, but almost changed his
mind when the absence of an imnli-
grafton official led to his detention
aboard the steamer from China for
more than an hour after his fellow
passengers had landed.
Kongis two sisters are now students
at the University of California.
His mother came with him on this
trip and there was a family reunion
on the Pacific Mail wharf when CHIEF
Inspector Meehan finally put in an ap-
pearanee and released Kong and his
mother.

ID. L. Van Dine, formerly connected
with the staff of the Federal Experl.
ment Station in Honolulu. returned yes
i terday on the Korea to remain a few
weeks, when he will leave Honolulu
permanently, to take up his residence
IN Washington, D. c. Mr.. Van Dine,
while east, was called to Washington
by the Chief of the Bureau of En-
tomology and offered a transfer from
the Hawaii station to the bureau to

Mr.. Van Dine says that the 1910
convention in Honolulu of the Scientific
Association is looked forward to with
interest by members. They are beeom-
ing interested in all that appertains
to the islands. He found a demand
for information concerning the trip,

be widespread interest in the excursion.
The question of transportation is first
to be solved. They are interested in
knowing how they will fare upon the
ocean and the prospect for returning
to the mainland on whatever date they
choose.
While the meeting in Honolulu may
not be as large as If held in some
eastern city on the mainland. yet the
association will be largely represented
and Honolulu may expect some of the
most eminent men in scientific circles.

a practical way Any large department

to get acquainted with them directly.
As an instapce of the value Of this
demonstration method Mr.. Van Dine
said he talked with a man in Chicago

TEACHERS UP IN ARMS

TO become so concerned in immediate

political and moral importance of pop

ROADS AND BRIDGES
DAMAGED IN kOOLAU

Road Overseer Paele of Koolau re-
ported to City Engineer Gere that the
Waikane and Waiahole bridge and the
abutments had been badly damaged BY
the heavy torrents of rain on Friday
and Saturday A considerable portion
of the flooring was washed away.
Andrew Adams of Kahuku also re-
ported that the damage to roads and
bridges would amount to $4,000 in his
district. The rains brought great guam
titles of debris, comprising gravel and
boulders, down from the mountains.
Overseer Paele says that in all his
long residence on the Koolau side he
never experienced such heavy rains as
those of last week.

Three nights and two days the trans
port Logan has now been stranded on
the coral reef in Honolulu harbor. and,
other reports to the contrary, her bow
has not been budged an inch as yet.
Every ounce of power that it was
! possIble to use, without danger of rip
ping the vessel itself, was exerted, ev-
cry possible plan, with the exception
OF the one which will now be tried,
was resorted to in an effort to move the
Logan, but it was without avail The
greater part of the big troopship lies
IN deep water and for this reason it
was possible for the powerful tugs
which worked during the morning to
swing the stern back and forth trifie:
but the forward section of the vessel
is as firmly fixed in its coral bed as
ever.
II. M. s. Cambrian Gives Aid.
Making good the generous offer of
last Sunday, His Brittanie Majesty s
cruiser Cambrian moved over from the
Naval slip and took a position directly
astern of the Logan yesterday morn.
ing 1t was thought that the strength
of the Cambrian s engines, assisted by
the Iroquois and possibly the Intrepid
would have the desired effect on the
stranded troopship. Hawsers broke
and steel cables snapped in the mighty
effort, however, and this attempt was
finally given up.
Logan's Cargo to Be Shifted.
Starting early this morning, or as
soon as a formal contract for the job
is made, the greater portion of the
Logan cargo will be dumped into
local bottoms and taken ashore. Over
a thousand tons of freight, which con-
sists in the main of commissary stores.
will be lifted from the hold of the
Army transport, and it is generally
conceded by waterfronters of authority
that this will Sc tighten the forward
section of the vessel that she can be
pulled from her preearious pesiti1sss
without any great difficulty. That this
is what should have been done the day
following the pileup on the wrong side
of the harbor is the general opinion
among many, and a considerable lot of
harsh criticism has been heard regard
ing the actions of those handling the
attempts to work the vessel off. It
seems that no one clearly realized the
dangerous predicament of the trans
port until yesterday afternoon when it
was found that the combined efforts
of the British cruiser Cambrian, the
U. s. Station Tug Iroquois, the Matson
tug Intrepid, the lighthouse tender Ku.
kui, and the twin screws of the Logan,
made absolutely no impression in the
labor Of shifting the weight Of the
