Sheba, editor of the Hawaii Shinpo,
this morning at 1880 o'clock, opposite
the store of II. Hamano, on Smith
street, near King, was stabbed three
times, in neck, scalp and chest, with
a pocket-knife, by T. Mori, Japanese
Interpreter of the Wailuku court.
Mori had followed YokogGwa, lead

Was Mori acting on his own res

to assassinate Sheba?
Il intended to punish Sheba for his
being traitor to the Japanese in Ha-

where he is endeavoring to assume
the attitude of a martyr
He met Sheba on tne street and ask

stand he has in regard to ard against

Sheba remarked, laughingly. that
Mori was too young to know what he
was talking about and that he had

Mori, who this morning attempted
to assassinate Sheba, editor of the Ha-
waii Shinpo, is this afternoon under
going a severe examination in the Of

and Sinclair examining him as to his
sanity and the Attorney Generals Of

AS far as sanity is concerned, Mori
seems to wonder at the examination,
for he declares practically to the eff

Sheba, but there are others on the
list to receive punishment" He
seems glad that he did assault Sheba
and appears to regret that he did not
make a better job of the assault.
Mori is held at present without a
charge. Other arrests are likely to be
made this evening. The police are
keeping watch of all Higher Wage AS

Logan docked early this morning and
will sail from this port for San Fran

exception was caused by the suicide
of Gerald Bennett, private in
the U. S. Marine Corps, jumping over
board on July % No particular rea-
son is given for his suicide, though he
had been Respondent for some time.
Bennett chose the time to drown
when it would be rather spectacular.
In the middle of the afternoon, when
the deck of the transport was crowded
with the soldiers and marines who are
coming back from duty in the Philip
pines, he walked up to the side of the
vessel and camly vaulted over the rail.
A number of his comrades saw him and
gave the usual alarm. Buoys were
thrown over the side at once and the
headway of the big steamer stopped as
quickly as possible Boats were low

hour and half delayed the transport.
Not sign was found of Bennett, who
probably hit his head against the side
of the vessel as he went over and never

OLOWALU PLANTATION WILL PAY

The directors of the Olowalu plan
tation have decided on a two per cent
dividend starting on August 81, the in
crease being from one per cent. The
crop has been completed and the plan
tation turned out 1S43 tons of sugar
of seventeen hundred tons made by
Manager George Glib. The affairs of
the corporation are in a most pros
porous condition.
The Waianae plantation will run
about 1000 tons over the estimate OF
Manager Frederick Meyer, according
to statement made this morning by
J. NJ Dowsett. In speaking of the
affairs of the plantation Mr. Dowsett
said:
The estimate for this season was
$500 tons, but we should have about
1000 tons more when the grinding is
completed. At present about 5000
tons of sugar have been ground Mr..
Meyer is now working on planting and
grinding together and, on account OF
the shortage of labor, we are only
grinding from one to two days each
week We are cutting for seed and
for grinding at the same time and with
the small force which we have at work

Sheba had very narrow escape from

He was wounded in four places, but
none of the cuts are considered dan

the bleeding from the wounds, how
ever, and the victim of the assault
lost so much blood that he was very

OF the old timers to admit that this

some to this day who rebel against IT.
The theory OF mass play in football
