Elevator Boy Killed,

Jack Wailea, e.evator boy at the
Young Hotel, was killed early yester.
day morning while operating the freight
elevator. He had taken the place of
the regular operator while the latter
was at breakfast. A load of things
was placed in the elevator on the upper
floor. According to witnesses who testi.
fled before coroner's jury at the pc.
lice station last evening, Wailea operat-
ed the elevator down until the street,
or alleyway floor was reached. A Japa-
nese boy with him left the elevator
at this floor and started to draw a box
of ashes off the elevator to the floor.
The elevator was little too high at
the time and Wailea dropped it lower.
As the japanese drew the box out the
elevator continued to move downward
and the box was caught between the
foor of the building and the top of the
elevator, jamming it. Wailea sent the
elevator upward to release the box, and
then lowered the elevator to the base.
ment.
According to the testimony of wit.
nesses the accident occurred Just after
the elevator went to the basement. At
any rate, the elevator after starting
up to the main floor suddenly stopped.
The Japanese looking down saw the
body of Wailea jammed between the
floor of the elevator and the ceiling
of the basement.
As tar as could be ascertained by the
jury Wailea had started the elevator
upward and then started to step off,
but slipping apparently, fell and be.
fore he could get altogether out of the
elevator or back in it, he was caught
and crushed to death. 1t was habit

TRADE LAND
WITH NJ BRYDE
(From Thursdays Advertiser.)

NrEOW lnuIsudg AuNeItiStIsl
Governor Frear and Land Commits.
sioner Pratt were in consultation yes.
torday morning, taking up new land
propositions. One of the important
things which the Territory will take
up in the near future will be the dis
posal of the Kapaa lands. A sale of
Kappa \lots is set for next week in
Kauai.
Negotiations are now pending for an
exchange of lands at Kalaheo with the
McBryde Sugar Company, and it is
probable that the consummation of this
will give the Territory large area of
agricultural land suitable for home
steaders. The proposal is to make a
trade of sugar land in lower Kalaheo,
part of which has to be irrigated, for
agricultural land at higher elevation
In all there are probably 900 acres
of sugar land which the government
will exchange for approximately 100
acres of homesteading land. The Nc.
Bryde Sugar Company is said to be
favorable to the exchange proposition,
the only question remaining being a
report of appraisers.
The Kalaheo sugar lands are in the
middle of the plantation company's
holdings, and are very valuable. The
land which the government will ac
quire by the trade will be those of Wa
hiawa and Laiwai.
