The explosion, which occurred during

JOHN WALKER HAS
FIRE; LOSES DINNER

To be called away from a good din
ner at friend IS house in one end
of the town to see the firemen put out
small blaze in your own servant s
quarters, in the other end of town,
is no joke, and if anyone has any con-
trary views he should interview John
s. Walker, for that is what happened
last night The fire, which was of
short duration, apparently was started
from hot iron left on the lanai of
the little house. Other than burning
small hole through the front of the
place and singeing a pile Of clothes
which had just been washed, there was
little actual damage done.
Mr.. Walker, however, feels angry,
and he has reason therefor. The eof-
fee and the Havanas had just come.
and he had barely settled down to real
enjoyment at his friends house when
the fire whistles sounded. And Mr..
Walker had to be up and doing.

new and an old one. They searched
/ for couple of hours, until one of the
party stumbled upon the remains.
But it was not the body of a man
lying right there The officers found
bones scattered over the ground for a
radius of about fifty feet. They could
not find the skull, only the lower jaw
bone being present. The clothing had
rotted away, but lay in a heap. There
were some memorandum books and a
number of cards bearing the name of
IL. R. Radermacher, Los Angeles" A
copy of the Advertiser of March 80,
1907, was found in pocket neatly
folded up. The copy is in an excel
lent state of preservation.
The officers were puzzled to under
stand how he came to his death. Owing
to the absence of the skull there was
no opportunity to ascertain whether he
had shot himself in the head. A spade
lay nearby, and the officers came to
the conclusion that Mr.. Radermacher
had determined not only to take his
life, but to dig his grave as well. Just
what means he employed to end his
life may not be definitely known, but
poison, as no revolver or any parts of
one were found about the body, al
though the officers searched diligently.
Mr.. Radermacher came to Honolulu
from Los Angeles in the spring of
1907, and had cards printed indicating
that he intended going into business
as manufacturers agent. He made
many purchases of clothing, ETC., at
local stores. At first he registered at
the Young Hotel, but on April | he
registered at the Occidental Hotel
About ten days later Colonel Wolter,

Threats of the Hawaiians
The whole thing was concerning the
report of the committee regarding the
bill, which was finally adopted 1t
showed, though, that there is tension in
the House over the measure.
c. w Ashford is said to have been
actively lobbying over the bill yester-
day, being out to kill it. It is further
reported that he. has the support OF
many of the House members, uniting
in opposition from different motives
Cohen is opposed to this bill because
it recognizes the principle Of the income
tax and 1T is sand that he has prepared
strong speech against it to deliver
when it comes up for third reading in
the House today. In this speech he is
going to warn the Hawaiians against
the loss of their political power if they
support any measure to bring in Euro
pean immigrants, prospective citizens
and voters. Douthitt is opposed to the
bill in its present shape, thinking that
the proportion of the tax, twenty-five
per cent, that is to go to purposes other
than immigration is insufficient. Many
of the Hawaiians oppose it because they
see in it an effort to flood the labor mar
ket with laborers in an endeavor to keep
down wages. Long states that he can
find but nine or ten out of the thirty
members in favor of the BILL

DIAMOND HEAD SLOPES YIELD

Mystery Of the Disappearance of Los Angeles
Man Two Years Ago Has Been
Cleared Up.

L. R. Radermacher, the German bus
mess man of Los Angeles, who mys-
feriously disappeared from Honolulu
on April /, 1907, and for whom a
search has been made in many parts
of the world, committed suicide on the
slopes of Diamond Head half way be-

Notifications, on the Kahana side, the
skeleton being located yesterday af-
ternoon by Deputy Sheriff Rose and
Detective Medeiros.
On Monday afternoon Frank Maui
oha, who drives a butcher cart to Ka-
hama, was en- route to the latter place
when a mongoose darted across the
road. Boy-like, Mauoha stopped his
horse, jumped off the cart and started
in pursuit of the mongoose, which ran
into the glue bushes. About fifty feet
from the road the boy parted some
bushes and was Mortified to see what
appeared to be the body of a man "
ing outstretehed on the ground. He
noticed some papers lying about. He
went back to his cart and that night
notified Duke Kahanamoku, a bicycle
patrolman. Duke asked the boy to
bring the papers from the remains to
him and he would lay the matter be-
fore the Sheriff. The boy procured
the papers, turned them over to Duke,
who in turn gave them to Deputy Sher-
iff Rose, with instructions as to where
the body lay.
The deputy and Detective Medeiros

road, but there are two roads there,

the street from Walkers place, first
noticed the fire and sent in the alarm
1t appeared to him that the blaze orig
mated from the outside of the lanai,
and this supposition was communicated
TO Chief Thurston. An investigation
showed that the fire had undoubtedly
begun inside the porch, where a still
warm fat-iron was found. AS the Jap
anese girl working for the family had
been ironing clothes during the after
noon, it is presumed that she left the
hot iron on the floor outside, where
the heat soon ate way into the wood.
The japanese yardboy, who sleeps in
the little house, which is on Young
street, directly behind Walker IS
house, was not in evidence at the time
of the fire, and there were at first
whispers of attempted incendiarism.
The Makiki station had engines ON
hand within a very few minutes after
the alarm was turned in, and the small
blaze was quickly extinguished. The
house of Captain Parker, which faces
Piikoi street, would have been endan-
gered had the fire got much Roadway
But Johnny Walker still feels sore
to think that his little "shaek'' had
to catch fire at the wrong time and
spoil the enjoyment of his dinner.

UPERv|SORS AND
MAYOR At PEACE
Wilson Confirmed and Paele
Succeeds Peck in
k0eIau.

Peace reigned over the deliberations
OF the Board of Supervisors yesterday
afternoon, the Mayors appointments
OF road supervisors for Honolulu and
overseers for the country districts were
unanimously confirmed by the board,
the motions to confirm coming in each
instance from Supervisor Logan. The
board confirmed the following nomina-
tons of Mayor Fern:
John H. Wilson, road supervisor, Ho-
nolulu.
Andrew Adams, road overseer, Zoo
Iauloa.
J. x. Paele, road overseer, Koolau-
poke
Chas. Kukea, road overseer, waialua.
j. II. Travis, road oveiseer. Eva.
These appointments release T. P.
Cummins from duty altogether as road
supervisor for Honolulu, and with him
will go his entire Office force and the
head men of the stables in both the
Fourth and Fifth Districts. The APP
poinfment Of J. K. Paele, Democrat,
cuts ont Sol. Peck fram the Koolaupoko
road district. The Mayors appoint
plents of ]. Fl. Plemer for Waialua,
and Kaahu for Koolauloa, and John
Manoanoa for Eva, thus go by the
board in the compromise. Adams, XII
kea and TRAVIS are Republicans.
| When the road men were appointed
Mayor Fern suggested that it would
be right and proper to have each ap.
pointee furnish bonds. He suggested
that some bonds had already been
fled.
On motion of Logan, however, the
question of bonds was referred to a
special committee consisting of the
Mayor, Deputy City Attorney Milver-
ton and Supervisor Quinn, to report at
the next meeting. Mr.. Wilson's bond
was already on file; SO also was Pa
ele IS. The Mayor stated that there
was also a matter of appointments of
poundmasters and he proposed to pre-.
sent his appointments. Then ensued a
tangled discussion as to whether the
board had any right or the Mayor had
any right, or just who had authority.
The Mayor said he was ready to APP
point but the board seemed afraid to
hear the name of the Mayors ap-
pointee, and the matter was referred
to the City Attorney. The Mayor said
soto voce: "Look out, you supervisors,
or I may yet appoint a Democrat. :
The joke of the matter is that the
Mayors proposed appointee was Re-
publican. Mr.. Cox. wanted VIM. ,Kar-
ratti appointed for Makiki.
On motion of Kane the following
parkkeepers were confirmed: Thomas
Square, Kahoiawa and Kahele; Emma
Square, Louis Aylett; Aala Park, Pa
lau and Bishaw.
Residents of the Schnack Tract in
Nuuanu Valley wanted the road lead
ing to their section put in good order,
as in its present condition it was
dangerous to life and many accidents
had been narrowly averted.

The Theatres


The new bill at the Grand the week
commencing with the matinee on Mon
day, June Ia, is rich with novelties,
singing and music.
Alice Davenport, q vaudeville come
dienne, who has won considerable sue
cess throughout the east, comes with
a drama in which the comedy element
is uppermost.. Her support promises
to help bring out all the little frills
with a becoming understanding.
Billy Saxton, the Hebrew comedian,
will impersonate characters to be found
in his favorite section of New York.
Twenty minutes Of opera and COM
edy singing will introduce Domley &
Rotali, a team which has made good
along these lines and whose roper
toire includes selections not common
to vaudeville. This is musical num-
Der of exceptional promise and is so
well arranged that 1t is entertaining
from start to finish.
The most pretentious acrobatic act
ever offered the Grand audiences is
that which will be presented by the
Tossing Lavallees the famous family
of acrobats. The merit of the act will
be understood when 1T Is said that the
young ladies in the act are the top
mounters and acc 1mplish all the haz-
ardous feats generally confined to men
acrobats. Some of the work is highly
sensational The name of Lavallees
will sound familiar to the I'D timers
Of Fargo. One Of the members Of this
quartette, Pierre Lavallee will be re-
membered as physical director of the
Y. M. G. A. under the secretaryship OF
Rev. John Orchard and as physical d.
rector Of the Fargo college, also at one
time one OF the owners of The Fargo
Argus.
Beautifully colored pictures will be
shown when Malcolm Hanson sings
the illustrated song and the came=
graph will display a series of comedy
and European motion pictures.

was hurt seriously and gave that as
his reason for proceeding with the
wedding. The fact that twice before
a postponement OF the nuptials had
been necessary had made him all the
more determined that no obstacle
should intervene to prevent his we'd
ding at this time.
One OF the interesting phases of the
case lies in the fact that in the ex-

Rich did not change his clothes and
was married in the suit he wore to the
house. When the police looked for the
suit which he declared he had bought
the night before 1t was not to be

witnesses.
The motive for the slaying--if such
1t proves to be--is still hidden. The
young man was the favorite grandson
of the aged woman and only the day
/ before the wedding she decided over
to him and his bride house and lot
as wedding present.
