BURIED WITH
MASONIC HON0RS
W. C. Peacock Originated Plans
and Built M0ana Hotel
at Waikiki.

The sudden death of Walter C. Pea
cock early yesterday morning, brief
announcement of which appeared in
the Advertiser, was something of a
shock to his legion cf friends in Ho-
n0lulu, many of whom knew nothing
at all OF his illness, or, at least, that
1t was so serious. He had been i'll
for several weeks, and death was due
to stomach disorder and liver trouble
The funeral was held yesterday af-
ternoon at CLOCK from the resi-
dence of the family on Nuuanu ave-
rue, above School street. There was Il
private church ceremony conducted by
Rev. John osborne of st. Clement IS
Episcopal church, followed at the MI
uanu cemetery by masonic ritual
conducted by Master w. T. Rawlins of
Hawaiian Lodge No. 81, of which the
deceased had long been member. The
pall-bearers were 7. F. Lansing, j.
Lucas, R. L. Auerbach, J. H. Hertsche,
c. w. Ashford, G. G.. Bartlett. The
floral tributes We're beautiful and num-
bered scores of pieces. The interment
was in the Hawaiian Lodge plot.
Walter c. Peacock was native of
England, but grew up in Australia,
where he resided until 1881, when he.
came to Honolulu. He was a book
keeper in the employ of F. G.. Lana
han, wholesale liquor business, for
many years, until he and Mr. Freeth
bought out the Lanahan interests. Mr..
Freeth retired from the concern, since
which time Mr.. Peacock has conducted
the business almost continuously, save
for brief period during the recon
struction of the corporation. The firm
has been known as w. C. Peacock &
Co. wholesale liquor dealers.
Mr.. Peacock conceived the idea of
building a great Waikiki Beach hos
telry, and to that end formed a COM
pany. putting most of his available in
terests in. the result being the cree
ton of the beautiful Moana Hotel.
Like many other pioneer enterprises,
and due largely to the fact that the
tourist business had not advanced suf-
ficiently, the hotel did not then paw.
and Mr.. Peacock had to dispose of his
interests at a great loss. These were
acquired by Alexander Young and are
now part of the Territorial Hotel
Company. and credit to Honolulu and
the foresight Of the originator. Mr..
Peacock leaves surviving him a widow.
daughter and mother. His nephew,
Rudolf Buehlv, of the firm Of Peacock
Co, IS a resident here.

Gov. Ansel Dismisses chages
Arinst Sheriff Corley.

After careful consideration of the
case Gov. Ansel dismissed the charges
against Sheriff Corley of Lexington,
who was accused Of having discrimi-
mated in the arrests of persons charged
with firing pistols on a highway. In
dismissing the petition of Messrs Big
by & Kibler, attorneys, Gov. Ansel
said: ''It appears to my satisfaction
that the sheriff was at the time NEIL
toned in the discharge of his duties
as law officer and Mr.. Avant and
Mr.. Bagly were assisting him having
been requested to do 80 before the time
mentioned in the charges"
The charges in this case were
brought by Thos. Aughtrey, who was
fined $50 in the magistrates court
when a pistol was found on him follow
ing the firing of shots in the Cayce
neighborhood where the sheriff was at
the time. The papers filed with Gov.
Ansel charges that on the same night
other pistol shots were heard and that
the sheriff found Messrs. Avant and
Bagly with pistols, but did not arrest
them. This was the discrimination al
legged in the arrest of Aughtrey, but
the order of Gov. Ansel explains why
no arrest was made of Messrs. Avant
and Bagly. There was considerable
surprise here at the time the charges
were brought against Sheriff Corley,
who has reputation for b ravery.-

Sheriff Cor1ey Vindieated.

Sheriff P. H. Corley has been vindi-
Gated. Gov. Ansel has dismissed the
charges filed with him few weeks
ago by some parties at Cayce, who
claimed that the Sheriff used discrim-
nation in making arrests. We never
did attach much importance to the
charges, and felt that there could be
but one result-a complete exonera-
ton. Sheriff Corley has always been
known to do his duty, and in the fear
less discharge of that, duty he has
made some enemies, but he is strong
er with the masses today than he has
ever been.

The Demonstration Work.

The government farm demonstra-
ton work in this county is progress
ing nicely, and, while this is the first
year in which the work has been
pushed, the results already obtained
exceed the most sanguine expecta-
tons Of those in charge of the work.
There are sixty farms in this county
forty on this side of the river under
the supervision of Mr.. G. A. Derrick,
and twenty in the Dutch Fork in
charge of Mr.. James w. Shealy.
Mr.. Derrick has the distinction of
growing the finest vetch ever seen on
sandy soil, and his other crops are
said to be in a highly satisfactory con-
dition.
The object of the farm ers' co-opera-
tive demonstration work is, illastrat-
ing the best methods of producing
standard farm crops, and at the same
time to ims=eve the land.
The methods introduced by the gov
ernment, through its field agents, is
rotation in crops. deep fall plowing,
with winter cover crops, thorough
preparation of the soil before plant
ing, and using better seed. Also i'm
proving the soil by experimenting
with legumes, such as the vetches,
crimson clover and other legumenous
crops; with the native COW pea, and
advocating the raising of more forage
crops, feeding more and better stock,
making profit on the stock and max
ing manure to improve the soil, using
more labor-saving machinery, thereby
saving labor and cost of producing a
crop.
It is believed that these farms, con-
Quoted on the above plans. will reyo-
lutionize the whole farming industry
the country over.

Neck Broken in Iron Bed.

Aiken, April 25.-The little 6-months
old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Pierce
Howard of Graniteville met death last
night in a most narrowing manner. In
the early part of the evening Mrs.
Howard left the baby on an iron bed
to sleep. The bed had perpendicular
rods at the head and foot. Mrs. Howard
stepped out for few minutes and when
she returned she saw the baby's body
hanging from the bed, the child's
head having been caught between the
perpendicular rods. When Mrs. How
ard rescued the baby from its position
she found that the little ones neck was
broken. The baby survived only few
minutes.
Mr.. Howard arrived from Aiken a
few minutes later and found his vile
almost prostrated with glief.
