PROPERTY
FOR PARKS
is CHEAP

Councilman Hofer, who is a mem
ber of the park committee that sub
mitted to the city council favorable
report on the Fairmount Park prop
erty, is boosting for the purchase by
the city at the special election Au-
gust q.
In the opinion of fair-minded real
estate men the prices at which the
Fairmomnt Hill property is offered
the city Is not unreasonable For
four blocks and Ia acres on the hill
side, not plated, Rev. II. B. Elworthy
has given the city an option for S10,-
900. Mr. Brown, of Silverton, has Of
fered the city three blocks at $1,000.
At the low price of 5000 per lot the
Elworthy blocks would bring $4,000,
and the Brown blocks would bring
$1,000. Lots are selling on Fair
mount hill at 5000 to $500, and all
the plated lots offered the city are
splendidly located residence property
said Col. Hofer yesterday.
THE committee on public parks
composed Of three average good busi-
ness men, OF which l am least, con-
sidered the offers made on this prop
erty fair and reasonable, and rec!
commended the purchase by the city.
The total property, including the
streets laid out between the blocks.
with what the city will get from the
water company. when we acquire the
reservoir tract, will be about 80 acres
although We have not had II surveyed
II is bounded on the north by Myers
street, on the east by Rock street,

There is a large grove Of big fir
trees on two blocks of this land, and
a heavy growth OF second size Ar on

Kepoikai
To Retire
Judge Kingsbury Slated To
Receive The Appointment.

Though definite action has not
yet been taken from Washington,
through private cable advices re-
ceived in this city it is known that
Judge Kepoikai, of the Maui Cir
cult Court, will leave his position
within the next few days. 1t is be-
lieved that he will be succeeded by
Judge Kingsbury of this city.
When asked for statement this
morning Acting Governor Mott
Smith refused to either affirm or
deny the report He had nothing
to. say on the subject
The resignation of Judge Kepoi
kai was by no means voluntary.
When Governor Frear left for Wa
shington in November he carried
with him the Maui jurists's resig-
nation, which was to be handed
in to the Department of Justice in
case the charges against kepoikai
were found to be serious enough
to force action. The decision to
accept his resi- gnation was made
sometime ago, in fact shortly after
the arrival of Governor Frear in
Washington, but delayed on &C
count of the s35, 900 damage suit of
Carl Waldeyer against the Wailuku
Sugar Company, which has been
before the Circuit Court in Wal
luku since November 20.
1t was feared that, if the fact
that the resignation had been ac.
cepted was make known, it might
influence the case in one way or
the other, so everything has been
held in abeyance. The Waldeyer
suit went to the jury Wednesday
night and the vedict for the defen-
dant was brought in after three
hours deliberation. This was ca
bled Immediately to Washington
1t is generally understood, and
on the best of authority, that
Judge Selden B. Kingsbury will be
appointed to fill the vacancy.
Many have suggested the name of
Dan Case, formerly county attor-
ney of Maui, but on account of the
prominent part which he took in the
fight against Kepoikai, being beat
en- several times, but now at last
winning out, it is doubtful if the
offer would be made to him, or if
he would accept, under the circum-
stances.
The charge which brought Ke-
poikai to his downfall was one
which involved the borrowing of
money from an estate while it was
in the custody of the court. 1t was
alleged and proven beyond reason
able doubt that Judge Kepoikai
obtained a loan from the estate of
a dead japanese of $1,000, giving
his personal note, unendorsed and
unsecured, for the same. Photo.

Tragedy
Porto Rican Killed by Falling
from Bridge.

A Christmas tragedy occurred dur
ing the early morning of the 25th in
the Opaipilau gulch in Kaupakalua.
Felipe Monte, Porto Rican about
AS years of age, accompanied by two
friends and fellow-countrymen while
attempting to cross a foot-brldge
slipped and fell into the water below.
This bridge was made OF two pieces
of four by four placed side by side
and was very slippery owing to con-
tinuous rains.
The stream itself, swollen by the
recent downpour, was raging tor
rent which carried the body of Fe-
lipe quarter of mile downward
near to the government road leading
to Makawao.
What really caused Monte's death
was the crushing of his skull on the
rocks upon which he fell in the bed
of the stream. In falling he pulled
one of his friends into the water
with him but the man fortunately
escaped with only few bruises.
The three men were returning
from a Christmas eve celebration in
Ulumalu where owing to the storm
they were detained over night. Stor-
les differ as to their destination
one is that they were returning to
their homes in Kaupakalua and the
other that they intended to attend
services at the little Catholic church
which was near the scene of the ac-
cident.
Monte owned small farm at
Kaupakalua and leaves widow in
destitute circumstances.
The coroner's jury Investigated
the case and rendered IA verdict of
accidental death on the facts shown.
On the oath the Maui Telephone
Co. declared Christmas dividend
of four per cent.
At the Christmas service held at
the Makawao Union Church last
Sunday, the 9th, the music was
unusually fine and the pulpit decor
ations consisting chiefly of poinset-
tias were most elaborate.
Akana Liilii is managing the All
Mi ranch in Kamaole recently pur-
chased by A. F. Tavares.
The total property and income tax
for Makawao district, collected for
1908 is s7S. .330.47, which is some
what larger than in former years.

testimony in the matter was for
warded to Washington some five
months ago.
1t was thought that immediate
action would be taken but up to
this time it has been impossible to
learn a single thing from Governor
Frear, Secretary Garfield, or the
Department of Justice in regard to
the matter which could be used for
publication.
When Governor Frear left for
Washington he promised to look
into the matter but gave no ink
ling of what might be done,
For the past two weeks, however,
the acceptance of the resignation
has been only awaiting the COM
pletion of the Waldeyer suit.
The Maui news. [volume] (Wailuku, Maui, H.I.) 1900-current, 1909-01-02

Judge Kepoikai's resignation is
regretable because of personal qua
lities that made him very much
liked representative Hawaiian. A
mong visitors such as the company
of Congressman who came here at
the invitation of Delegate Kuhio,
he was greatly admired and liked
and similarly on the Mainland
convention visit he made the finest
OF impressions. But it is impossi-
BILE to see how the Department of
Justice could do other than severe
ly disapprove his borrowing $1,000
from an estate in probate before
him, on an unsecured note. 1t is
to be hoped that the lesson of the
consequence of such a transaction
will not be ost,-Hawaii has a
painful list of events showing need
of learning such lesson.-Hawa a.

"oLD BOYS" REUNION.
To Be Held at chickasha August 25
20 and 27.

Chickasha, Okla, Aug. 12-Thc
American of today. The middlc-agcd
and the youth, know but very little
of the ciyil war.
The northern soldier and the south
crn soldier each felt tha. it was home
and fireside that he was fighting for,
hence it is that history bears out the
claim that more bravery and human
endurance was exhibited in that war
than is recorded in any war of mod
ern times
Each-thc Federal and the Con
fed did himself honor and reflect.
ed credit on the cause in which he
was enlisted with his very LIES
blood whore fate decreed. In this
thought is much that should appeal
to the patriot of today, no matter
what his political beliefs or affilia-
tions. We should be thankful that
those days through which a nation
had 10 pass in order TO become as
one people, one government insep,
arabic, are no more.
At the same time we should bear
in mind the fact that the "old boys"
are fass leaving MS, and on every oc.
caslon where they choose 10 hold re-
unions at which they may exchange
expressions of brothcrly love and re.
new old ties, an , encouragement
should be given them.
The grand state reunion TO be held
by the L. c. VS. az Chickasha on
Wednesday Thursday and Friday,
Aug. %. 2G and 81. should not only
he literally attended by the vets,
but all persons who can as well
spare the time as not should help to
swell the great throng that will
gather on this occasion.
II will be a three days outing for
hose who attend that should do good
10 both mind and body.
The citizens OF Chickasha are max
ing preparations to entertain the "old
veterans" IN a way TO make all who
attend go home feeling that It was
| good 70 have been there.
