SOLDIER FALLS
TO HIS DEATH

Missing his foothold on a narrow
ledge in the mountains near Kahana,
Jacob o. Lukes, private, frst-class,
Hospital Corps, pitched to his death
on the rocks 800 feet below, while goat
hunting Thursday afternoon. The skull
of the unfortunate man was crushed
like an eggshell, and death was instan-
taneous.
Lukes was one of the men sent with
the detachment of the Twentieth In
fantry to negotiate Waikane pass. In
company with several other men, he
started on a goat hunting expedition
Thursday. The party climbed into the
mountains above Kahana, and it was
while trying to pass along particu-
larly dangerous ridge that Lukes slip
ped and fell.
The body was recovered and taken
to Fort Shafter yesterday morning, af-
terward being removed to Slva's un.
dertaking establishment. As Major
Wadhams signed death certificate,
and as the circumstances surrounding
the accident are perfectly patent, it is
not likely that an inquest will he held.

MOTION SHOWS
ENVY THE RINK

Moving picture theater people are
considering ways and means and the
advisability, also, of testing the right
of the authorities to prevent them
opening on Sunday evenings.
The opening of the new skating rink
on Sunday afternoons and evenings mas
caused some of the moving picture
people to sit up and take notice and
study up the law. They have learned
already that skating is considered an
out of-door athletic amusement. The
rink is certainly out of doors, because
it is not rooted over. 1t is considered,
also, by the rink people, an athletic
amusement, and any amateur who has
tried to get skate on-at the rink
has come to the conclusion that it is
certainly an athletic accomplishment
and not altogether amusing.
The moving picture people have made
inquiries and have run up against a
feature which prevents them naming
their amusements out.of-doors, except
in one or two instances. The moving
picture business, however, is regarded
solely as show or spectacle, and not
in the same class as rink.
The county authorities may soon have
to delve into the matter of licenses for
the varied amusements which are grad
ually being established in town. Some
of them were never in the minds of the
legislators who framed the licenses fol-
amusements.

WATER EXPERTS CO
TO HAWAII TUESDAY

/ Superintendent Marston Campbell
and photographic experts Leighton and
Mendenhall will leave for Hawaii on
the Mauna Kea next Tuesday to take
up on that island the same line of inves-
tigation on which they have recently
been engaged on Oahu, Maui and Ka-
uai. Their travels will take in Ko-
hala, Puma, Hamakua, Hilo and Kona
and Kau.
The principal work of Mr.. Menden-
hall, the expert on underground waters,
will be done in Kau. There are, as is
well known, great springs of water in
that district, and his object is to de-
termine where the water comes from
and to what extent it can be utilized.
If his hopes materialize, his work will
ultimately result in opening up for agri-
cultural purposes several thousand
acres of the best land in the Terri
tory.

IS TO COME
(From Sundays Advertiser.)


A cablegram was received by Super
intendent of Public Works Marston
Campbell yesterday morning from Di-
rector Smith of the Geological Survey
approving of Topographic Marshall
leaving California to come to Hawaii
to take up with the Public Works De-
partment the question of topography.
The cablegram comes in response to
request preferred by Mr.. Campbell
that Mr.. Marshall be granted leave to
come to Hawaii. Mr.. Campbell ex-
plains that the object in having the
topographer come here is to have him
undertake the work of stream meas
urement and water resource investiga.
ton, and make Typographical map
of the Territory.
The Typographical work must precede
any practical work along the lines of
reclamation. The Investigations of
the expert photographers who are now
here are designed to determine what
water is available and where it ie
located. The topographer will decide
upon the best sites for reservoirs and
what the possibilities are for eonserv.
ing the water. Comparatively little
work Of this nature has yet been done
in Hawaii.
Mr.. Marshall is now in California
and will probably come directly to Ha.
wall. His visit, however, will not be
a long one.
