MONTHS WORK
MORE, ON THE
NUUANU DAM

Another month will see the sluicing
at the Nuuanu dam completed, after
which time the rock face will be put
on the big fill, the work of clearing out
the vegetable growth in the reservoir
site put under way and the reservoir will
be in shape to commence the storing
of water. The fact that bill to place
Hawaii under prohibition has been pre-
scented in congress and John G. Woolley
is Fastening. to the capital to back 1t
has nothing to do with the probable
early completion of the four-year job.
Even the fact that the Star has Joined
the ranks of good templars and will
shortly appeal for rush work on the
water tank is not responsible.
The fact is that Contractor White
house has been steadily plugging along
under his new contract and in rain or
shine, food or drouth, has kept his
sluices at work packing the red dirt
along his line of survey sticks, with
the result that now one side of the dam
has reached its final level and the rest
of it is creeping up to completion. At
the same time, the work on the spill
way, which will accommodate any extra
surplus in time of food, has been push
ed ahead; the work of getting out rock
for the riprap work and putting some
of it in place has been progressing, and
the big work, the end of which SO
many have never expected to see, is
reaching that stage of completion when
Whitehouse can look the legislative
committees in their individual eyes and
invite them to drop in and try the
water.
Yesterday, Representative Sheldon
accompanied by other members of the
house and senate, paid the dam an of.
fetal visit. The contractor did not
know of their coming and was not on
hand, so the Legislators wandered W
and down the slopes, tried the frmnes'
of the banks and the mudness of the
mud and returned to town.

Many Millions 10 Various
Branches OF Work.
AMOUNT LARGEST ON RECORD
Was Officer and Member OF Many
Organizations Profiting by
His Will.
(By Associated Press,)

NEW YORK, November 6.-The
probating of the will of j. 5. Kennedy,
the millionaire banker and philan-
thropist who died Sunday last from the
whooping cough, has proved his be-
quests to charity to be the largest on
record.
To the different educational and
religious charities with which he was
closely identified, either as officer or
member, he has left $25,OO0,OOO, sum
which has never been equaled as
single bequest to charity. To his
relatives and to HIS old employees he
has left sums totaling $35, 100000.
At the time of his death, Kennedy,
who was born in Scotland in 1880, was
seventy-nine years of age and his i'm
mense fortune has been built up in
banking. The associations, charitable
and religious, with which he has been
associated and who share his bequest
are the Presbyterian Hospital, of which
he was president; as he was of Robert
College, and the American Bible House
at Constantlnople; and also vice presi
dent of the society of ruptured and
crippled, vice president and trustee Of
the New York public library and many
other prominent institutions.

NEVER KNEW HE HIT
NEIGHB0R IN THE ARM
Chinaman Plunks a Bullet Through
Arm of Native Woman.

"Just practising" was the reason
shue Hong gave the police last night
as an excuse for shooting in the arm
a Hawaiian woman married to Por-
tuguese named Covelho.
The Chnaman's little practise stirred
up the district Waikiki of the carline
across the marsh, and a hurry call for
the police was sent in. During all the
excitement, Shue Hong was innocent
ly unaware of any pilikia. He had re-
ceived the gun from friend who went
to China, and states that it was the
first time he had ever handled one.
When the police arrived on the scene
they arrested four Chinese who were
in the house where the shooting oc-
Cured, but missed the man who says
he is the offender and who was at the
time in the adjoining house.

A correspondent of the st. Paul Dis

from Honolulu of the descent into the
pit of Halemaumau of three Hiloites,
which said, in conclusion: "This is the

"Now this is not exactly another

"The volcano is said to be the largest
