A Topeka woman has devised a way
to have two wraps in the same gar
ment. 1t is a long. loose coat, of
striking chrysoprase color lined
throughout with black satin. and
made with pointed revers finished by
big black tassels. When the color
side is worn outside, the big revers
and front facing show the black and
worn the other way, the coat is black,
with facings and collar of a becoming
color to brighten it up. If the
patriarch Jacob had any brighter
ideas in coats than this woman then
his beloved Joseph was a dream as
well as a dreamer.

INSANITY
TBS9IFIBD
DEFENSE OF GEORGE KALEIKINI
FOR WIFE MURDER WAS CLOSED
THIS MORNING.

DR.. n. b. Emerson, physician to the
police station, testified that George Ka-
leikini on trial for numbering his wife,
was subject of epileptic insanity.
w. G. Achi, attorney for defendant,
rested the defense at 1926 this morn
ing. City Attorney Cathcart then put
on evidence in rebuttal, after Judge
De Bolt had denied a request by Mr.,
Achi, because not made at the proper
time, that the court and jury visit the
premises.
Before the conclusion of his case Mr..
Achi persisted, under objections and
adverse rulings, in what amounted to
a cross-eXamination of his last wit
ness. This was the sister of the vic
tim, who had been a witness for the
prosecution. She was present when
Kaleikini shot his wife.
There was burst of laughter from
the jury, with smiles all around, while
the attorney was having the witness
| with Bailiff Hopkins and Detective
Lake as lay figures, show the relative
positions of Kaleikini, his wife and thu
witness at the instant of the shooting
After Tending off a series of objections
Mr., Achi was asked by the court to re
peat his last question,
Il forget what l asked, there were s.
many Interruptions he plaintiyel
confessed.
When the mirth had subsided Steno
grapher Horner was directed by tn
court to come to the attorneys rescu
with the forgotten question.

Judge Robinson granted the petition
OF Helen A. Cushingham, guardian of
the Hilo minors, for leave to mortgage
the property of the wards for SO 900
to pay off certain mortgages and to
provide funds for expenses of the es-
tate. The guardians eighth and ninth

Following hearing of several days,
Judge Robinson gave judgment for the
defendant in the suit of Alexander La
zarus against Lena Grace Rosewarne. a
bill to declare a trust.
James J. Harvey, guardian of his
four minor children, was discharged
by Judge Robinson. All of the money

DEFERRED
THE CASE BETWEEN MAYOR AND
SUPERVISORS GOES OVER TO
LINCOLN DAY.

The mandamus suit of Charles Coster
against City and County Treasurer r..
H. Trent, to compel the respondent to
pay warrant of salary voted by the
Board of Supervisors, was continued by
Judge Robinson until 10 o'clock Fri
day morning owing to the absence of K.
M Watson, of counsel for respondent.
No doubt it will have TO be further
continued, for Friday is Lincoln Day, a
national holiday by Act of Congress.
There is no chance therefore of the
controversy between the Mayor and the
Board of Supervisors involved in this
suit reaching the Supreme Court this
week.

she had no easy time OF it. If either
one of the tifty-seven-ton guns, or boIn,
got loose in the Mohicans hold, even
if they did not go through her bot
tom, they would cause the good bark
to roll tremendously. The wireless,
not going into details, throws no light
on the immediate cause of the Mohi-
can losing a mast and does not even
specify what mast was lost. The Lur-
line, too, Is bringing ordnance and 9th
er military supplies and the pair of
them have a mighty precious consign-
ment.
The bark Mohican is a veteran and
none too recuperative. The story or
how she was dismasted will be awaited
here with intense interest The Lur-
line sailed from San Francisco on
February 5, at o'clock in the after
noon, with the Mohican in tow, the
idea evidently being to hurry the de-
livery of the guns and other ordnance.
Judging from the meager wireless
information the towline must have
parted early in heavy gale, while
in the storm the Mohican lost a mast
either through the force of the blow
or through shifting her awkward car
go, the guns possibly breaking their
confinement below and tumbling about
among other cargo. Necessarily the
Lurline stood by and got a line or
the bark as soon as gle weather suf
ficiently moderated.
The storm encountered by the Lur
line and Mohican, if not the Sheridan
was perhaps the continuation of tha
which hit Honolulu about that tim,
and which was characterized here a,
an unusually severe electrical storm.

Democratic members-elect of the
Legislature and members of the Demo-
cratic Territorial Committee had an
important conference at headquarters
in the Waverley block last evening
on measures it is proposed shall be
brought before the Legislature at its
coming session.
The first matter favorably consid-
cred was the idea OF bureau of con-
veyances in each county, to take the
place of the present system of one
central bureau at Honolulu. A bill
carrying this proposition. will be Of
fered for enactment.
Equally, or more, important is a
measure providing for the election OF
county assessors of taxes and the
county appeal boards, which are now
appointed; also, the collection of tax
es by the county treasurers. This
scheme practically copies that of New
Mexico, and, while sweeping, will, the
Democrats believe, be a great improve
ment ON the present arrangement.
Another matter discussed and fav-
ored was a proposal to increase the

Comes lightning message from the
transport Sheridan telling of fearful
weather at sea. The Sheridan does
not say she was in the midst of the
terror, but she passes along spark
from the Matson S. S. Lurline which
conveys intelligence of gale that has
partially dismasted the bark Mohican
and which threatened to land ON the
bottom of the ocean the great guns
destined to defend Pearl Harbor.
At o'clock last evening, or there
abouts, the long-distance wireless sta
ton at Kahuku, this island, received
a message from the Army transport
Sheridan to the following effects:
"The Matson steamship Lurline,
Captain Weeden, now two hundred and
fifty miles astern OF us, and towing
the American bark Mohican, reports
that the Lurline's towline, dragging
the Mohican, carried away on Satur-
day night last, and that the bark lost
one mast, the steamship standing by
all night in a heavy gale, picking ur
the Mohican again on Sunday morn
ing. The Lurline will probably ar.
rive at Honolulu on Sunday or Mon.
day with her tow. We expect to react
port early Saturday morning"
| The story of the wireless from tn,
Sheridan is simply told, but when i
is remembered that the bark Mohical
is carrying two immense guns 70

seven tons each, and lot of ammuni

HURRY PEARL
HARBOR ROAD

It is not the intention of the Pearl
Harbor Traction Company to let grass
grow under its feet. All of the de-
tails of rights of way have been set
tied, and preliminary work of taking
charge and starting work is now only
a matter of short time. There will
be meeting of the stockholders, pro-
badly on Friday, at which the work
as so far mapped out will be formally
approved.
G. G. Ballentyne, the superintending
director, expects to sail by the Korea
on February 20 for the east where he
will purchase and hurry forward ma
terial required for the road. AS this
will not take long, track laying will
likely begin in two to three months.
Army and navy people are as an
xious about the completion of this sys-
TEN as are city folk. 1t is their de-
sire, and the intention of the com.
pany, to reach Pearl Harbor before
work there is in full blast.

school tax from 81 to 81, and exempt
ing voters from the payment of this
tax This would increase the per-
sonal taxes of non-citizens from IS to
$40, and assist the school fund in a
corresponding ratio.
Again, a joint resolution to Con-
gress was decided upon, asking that a
law be passed requiring the employ
ment of citizens only on United States
government work.
Two bills favorably considered
were: The first providing sinking
fund for loan redemption; second, re-
deeming the sewer bonds and assess
ing the cost of sewerage upon the
owners of abutting property.
A second joint resolution to Con-
gress asks for the purchase by the
United States of all vested rights in
deep-sea fishing, and the turning over
of the same for the benefit of the citi-
zens at large.
The election law was also discussed
but no definite action was taken. An
other meeting will be held on Frida!
evening.

HAS 4

INSANITY DEFENDANT STARTLES
JURY BY HAVING SEIZURE DUR
ING TRIAL.

George Kaleikini, pleading insanity
in defense for numbering his wife, hav-
ing the benefit in that connection OF
DR.. Emerson's testimony that he is
epiletptically insane, together with the
exhibition OF epilepsy given by his
mother few days ago just outside
the courtroom, today gave object evil
dence in court to his claimed infirmity.
Whether the tremendous fit he threw
was voluntary or involuntary perhaps
the jury will decide, for the exhibition
was in their presence, and they may
be aided by Dr. Collins who was called
in after the man had been in violent
throes for twenty minutes. At all
events the moment was the psycholo-
gical one

of the insanity theory was undergoing
examination, at half past eleven
o'clock Jurors had observed some
thing uncanny adding to the sinister
look in the defendants eyes, that dur

vacancy.
All at once Kaleikini sprang out oi
his chair alongside of Attorney Achi

about and dashed out of the door.

EPISCOPAL CONVENTION.

R ISHOP KINsMAN made his first appear
\ ance as the presiding officer of the Epis-
eopal Convention at the meeting of that body in
Smyrna, on Wednesday, and added TO the ia
vorable impression that he has created in Della
ware among both the followers of that church
and the community at large. The Bishops ad-
dress was of much concern to Episcopal church
men and it is not without interest to members OF
other denominations.
One point that the Bishop touched upon will
hVd hearty response in the hearts OF other cler-
gynen, that is his reference to the salaries Of
ministers. The Bishop pleaded for decent pc
cunary rewards for clergymen and showed how
discouraging it is for parsons TO labor with the
constant fear Of poverty staring them in the
face. The Bishop said that ST 900 a year should
be the minimum salary for a preacher, and IT
seems TO US that he is correct in this view There
are many cergymen this peninsula who get
far below that amount. During the last few
years there has been considerable increase in
living expenses and persons with fixed incomes
have felt the pinch sorely clergyman in or
der to be at his best should not be disturbed
by wondering whether he will have enough TO
make both ends meet, even when he lives in a
modest manner AS the Bishop said in his ad-
dress, Delawareans are not poor people, but on
the other hand they are comparatively we'll
to do
An effort was made at the convention to
change the rules of the church so that future
Bishops of Delaware could be elected by a ma
jority OF the delegates at convention instead
of the required two-thrds as at present This
effort failed. Had the convention which elected
Bishop kinsman been governed by a majority
instead of by two-thirds vote of the delegates,
DIR. Kinsman would not be Bishop of Delaware
today The fact that he is Bishop would seem
TO show conclusively the wisdom OF the two
thirds rule.

II would be strange. indeed. II a type
so original and so distinguished were
not sooner or later to come into its
own. The Europeans make much Of
their national costumes and manners
and are constantly celebrating these
in their art. We may be sure that
their painters and sculptors would
have rejoiced in the possession Of sucn
material as we have had ready to our
hand in the wild life NJ the mountains
and plains.
The red race is going It is almost
gone. Not many years win have pass

sentatives Of the great tribes win have
disappeared Even now such repre-
seutatives are not by any means to be
found with ease on every reservation.

I HE State Board OF immigration was or

Pennewi as chairman and Edward W. Ten-
kins as secretary. The law makes the Governor
and the State Board of Agriculture the new
board. There is wide field of usefulness for
this body and Governor Pennewill is well fitted
for the position of chairman The Governor is
in close touch with the agricultural situation of
the state and knows the advantage that ifni-
grants would be to Delaware.
New comers should be made welcome to the
State. There is plenty of opportunity for those
who are able to purchase farms and for farm
laborers. Ride in almost any part of the pros
porous agricultural regions of Delaware and you
will be surprised to learn how many of the
farms have been purchased by persons from 9TH

OF our farms are still large although the ten

toward smaller farms. Delaware may be a small
state, but there is room here for a population

had better go around to the fathers and
enforce the law that they should not get

men wonder why a poor man fails. Is it
any wonder? They have nothing to encour-

such small salaries. Some psople think
only Of themselves. If they would think
