Has Council begun to back water?
Where are all the enthusiasts in favor
of vitrifed brick for Main street?
Macadam is all right if it is done
right, but why not have progressive
spirit and town pride and build at
least one street that will be perma-
nent. A vitrifed brick road will last
for generations and it's cost for re-
pairs will be practically nothing.
Smyrna has wasted enough in oyster
shells, ETC., to have built a section of
permanent roadbed. Why put money
into something that will need repair
when a little judgment and fore
thought will save this expense? To
be true a street paved with vitrified
brick costs considerable more but in
the long run isn't it cheaper?

NocAsEAeAlNsT LISTER GRANT

Despite Effort to Connect Him With
Theft of 400 Furs of j. w. Jones.
The strange theft of 400 furs is
occupying the attention of the General
Sessions Court. They were muskrat
pelts and were the property of J.
Wesley Jones of Smyrna, who had
prepared them for shipment to the
city and valued them at fOrty-five
cents each. The grand jury ignored
a bill against Lester Grant for COM
plicity in the theft of the furs, but
found true bill against him for re-
ceiving stolen goods. Lawyer G. H.
LeFevre, representing Grant, had a
large company of witnesses in court
to testify in Grants behalf, and the
State continued its investigation,
through private detectives, of extra
ordinary robbery. The plunderers broke
into the warehouse of Mr.. Jones and
removed the furs by the wholesale
after they had been packed for ship
ment. Lester Grant from the start
has contended that he was innocent Of
the charge and the State was unable
to prove theft against him.

the boat will be completed and running

a trip in the boat can do so, but the
management will not be able to ac-
cOmmodate them with a state room.
The boat is being built by the Gin

contract to furnish the machinery, and
the work is being pushed as rapidly

Rev. Charles H. Holmead, the new

service and made most favorable
impression. His style was lucid and
his manner was earnest. He took for
his text the oath chapter of st. Luke
and 18th verse: "And his words
seemed to trem as idle tales and they
believed them not. =" 1t was an Easter
story applied with force and vigor to
the doubling class of people living
to-day. After defining the different
kinds of Christians that usually COM
pose a church, he referred to his
coming to take up the work at st.
Peters and spoke earnestly of his
desire to build up Gods kingdom in
this parish. Preceding the sermon.

WOMAN LEAPS
INTO THE BAY
Takes Off Shoes and Stockings
Before Seeking Watery
Grave.

! Shortly after noon yesterday CAPTAIN
Denny of the bark Alden Besse heard
shouts for help coming from the water
at the foot of the wharf at which his
boat is locked, and, rushing to the
scene, found woman struggling in the
harbor. life-preserver was thrown to
her, but before she caught hold of it,
a young Hawaiian leaped overheard and
pulled her to shore.
Several people had noticed the wo-
man sitting on the edge of the wharf
short time before, and some had
remarked on her peculiar actions. She
appeared to be reading a couple of let
tiers which caused her to weep. She
took off her shoes, read one of the let
ters, took off her stockings, read the
other one, and then, without a single
cutlery, leaped overheard. The moment
she struck the water. however, she
changed her mind about committing
suicide and commenced to shout Justify.
1t was then that Captain Denny and
a crowd came on the scene. The wo-
man, whose identity could not be learn
ed, was taken to the hospital in the
police wagon. She appeared to be part
Chinese. The Hawaiian boy who saved
her from watery grave left the scene
without giving his name.

CHlCAGO'S CFiIMNEYS SUFFERED IN
THE FIVE.STATE EARTHQUAKE


Raymond W. Baker confessed to Uni
ted States District Attorney Breckons
yesterday that he is a bigamist-that
he had wife and child in the city
of Chicago when he married Eva Wal
lace, who Tilted the man whom she was
coming to Honolulu to marry.
Mrs. Wallace Baker has not been
turned from Baker by his acknowledge
ment of crime. She declares that she
will wait for him until he has served
his term IN the penitentiary, apparent
ly hoping that Baker s lawful wife will
secure a divorce in the interval.
While looking trifie unkempt yes
terday, Baker maintains a care-free
attitude, and instead of being in a
penitent mood that becomes man that
admits that he is a bigamist and a
wife deserter, Baker is already refer
ring in otfhand fashion to when he
will finish his g time In fact, the
word falls so easily from his lips that
he may have had occasion to use it
before
AS an indication of the peculiar char
acter of Baker, it is enough to say
that he think that it will help his
present case by making insinuations
against the honor of his Chicago wife.
He lntimates that she has not been
true to him, and that he can secure a
divorce from her without difficulty. 1t
is surprising that Baker did not chose
this alternative before marrying Mrs.
Eva Wallace, and so escape a peniten,
tiary sentence
The confession of Baker did not come
as a surprise to those who have been
interested in the case and have an
opportunity to study his character since
his first escapade in this city He
decided that he would escape with
lighter punishment if he made a clean
breast of the whole affair, and the
confession yesterday was the result.
Baker has apparently given up all
hope of obtaining financial assistance
from his father and he has admitted
that it would be useless to apply to
his mother for aid.
Baker s case will be in allegiance I'M
til the next meeting of the Federal
grand jury when an Indictment will be
found against him for bigamy

were Land Commissioner Pratt. Survey
or W. L. Wall and Judge Whitney, the

as an expeD on land titles in that

A portion Of the land is well adapted

that 1t will be purchased for that pur,
pose. Another division is suited for
homesteads of from five to ten acres
IN extent and is well adapted to small
farmers.
The party left the city at $50 in
the morning and made fast trip to
the land. The acreage was examined
with thoroughness and it's possibilities
for homesteading purposes impressed all
the members of the party.

Janus Maxine Talks.

Maxine, according to an afternoon
paper, is quoted as saying he did not
call a strike on Eva, Waialua or Ka-
huku, and goes further by saying he
may urge them to return, but as to
Aiea and Waipahu, the plantations
originally planned for the strike, he
states that the men from those two
will remain out year, if necessary.
AS a matter of fact, when Maxine
found that the managers of Aiea and
Waipahu plantations were determined
to stand pat and not give in to the
strikers, Maxine stated to a represen
tative of this paper that he would bring
Waialua and Eva into the strike, and
this news was published at the time.
When the full force and effect of
the result of several thousand men be-
ing out on the strike, struck Maxine,
he began to realize that he had white
elephant on his hands He now says,
that he is sorry Eva and Waialua
are out as he had enough men from
Aiea and Waipahu on his hands al
ready to take care of.
