WILL THE GLORIOUS
FOURTH BE- CELEBRATED?

No provision has yet been made for
a patriotic observance of Fourth of
July, and so far little interest has
been manifested in the great day from
the purely American standpoint. Gov
ernor Frear has had the matter in mind,
however, and this week will decide
whether to call a meeting of citizens
from among whom general committee
may be chosen to take charge of the
celebration
Should the Governor decide on a
course of procedure the call for such
meeting may be issued early in the
week. Colonel Jones, who has always
been a member of the celebration COM
mittee, at least for the past ten years,
is quite anxious that something should
be done, and that very soon.
The local Sons of the American Reyo-
luton Society may yet take hold of
the matter, as they have done in the
past, and arrange program that will
be creditable to the great day.

BLAME HIGHER WAGERs
FOR MAUI BURGLARY

Maui News.--What appeared to be
the finger of suspicion pointing to a
Japanese by the name of Gomi in con-
nection with the theft of money that
had been collected by clerk of the
Enos store is now pointed at number
of the Higher Wage sympathizers.
Some days before the theft of the
money strike sympathizer is said to
have approached Gomi with request
that he contribute money for the strik-
ers. Gomi is said to have refused and
he claims that threats were used
against him.
When the loss of the money became
known every effort was made to bring
the name of Gomi into the matter. The
sheriff's department and the county at
torney investigated and Gomi was re-
leased.
1t is reported that some of the
Higher Wage sympathizers recently
prevented Gomi from getting better
position for the reason that he is OPP
posed to their scheme.
The sheriff is without a clue as to
who burglarized the room from which
the money was taken.

AGAIN AT LIBERTY
GROSS DETAILS COMING
OUT IN MURDER CASE

There is peculiar phase in the
Wetherin murder mystery which may
sooner or later be fully developed by
the police, and that is the relations of
Tom Cummings, held as suspect at
the police station, and the dead man IS
family. When Cummings was arrested
and asked concerning Wetherill and
his family, the former stated that he
was quite intimate with the family and
that his relations with Wetherill IS
mother were such as to make him al
most one of the family.
Whether this feature of family life
had any effect on the mysterious death
of Wetherill in the lumber yard of
the Oahu Lumber Company will be-
probed by the police.
Another feature is the facts which
came to light concerning the abode of
Mary McCandless, who lives in rooms
in the second story of a tenement OF
King street just Eva of Liliha street.
That it is disorderly house in more
senses than one is certain from the
testimony of the various witnesses.
True, most of the witnesses testifying
before the coroner $ jury went to Mary
McCandless' home because she is a
sister of Jim McCandIess, also held as
a suspect. Mary has an unsavory repu-
tation and she has been arrested many
times for disorderly conduct and has
also been tried in the police court UNI
der the vagraney law, and convicted.
She frequents the japanese hotels
which are loosely conducted, and has
been arrested there in company with
male companions by the police. Her
own home has been resort for tough
characters, both male and female.
James A. Rath of the Palama Settle
ment has been active in his campaign
TO rid Palama of this nest, but, al
though the police have raided and
made arrests there, Mary sooner or
later returns and falls into her old
habits.
The police may take cognizanee Of
the disorderly character of the place
again and clean the entire shack out,
even if some of the occupants have to
serve time on the Reef.

SECY, MOTT-SMITH
TAKES AN OIL BATH

Secretary of the Territory Mott
Smith is another official "who does
things and in that sense is in the
same category with Mayor Fern, he of
the athletic accomplishments. The
Secretary is an ardent motorist and
looks after his own machine. He is
not the same nattily-dressed official one
sees in the anteroom to the robin 's-egg
blue chamber, but his urbanity is just
the same. When at home and looking
after his machine he wears dungarees
and it is probably due to this fact that
the .clean-clothes man does not have
a fine tweed suit in his shop today
from the Secretary.
Yesterday morning he erawled un-
der his machine and faced the under
side of the car. He turned bolts and
cleaned rods and frightened up this and
loosened that and then, while turning
a screw, something happened. The
o1-pan was upset and the contents
came upon him. The tube opened up
and the oil began to flow fast The
Secretary inserted his finger in the end
of the tube, but his finger, which calls
for No. 6 glove, was not equal to the
task. The oil flowed and flowed down
his arm up to his armpit. He wriggIed
out from under and found quart con-
tainer, but after the measure was filed
the oil still flowed on and on. The
Secretary was well besmeared before
he got through, and even the quick re-
Spouse of Chief Clerk Lloyd Conkling
with Observation-Disclosures appli-
ances could not stem the flow.

HAMAKUA EXTENSION TO

miles from Hilo. This has now been
secured, and even to farther qis-

which B. F. Dillingham; has been work
ing. The ties will be procured in the
local market.
The preliminary work connected with
the construction of so heavy an under.
taking as that of the Hamakua branch
of the Hilo railroad is quite consider
able. There has been no time lost,
however, since the matter has recent
ly been taken up and everything is
progressing favorably in all branches,
Financially, it is believed the project
will receive liberal support in Homo
lulu and Hilo, and the projectors need
have no fear of difficulty on this score,
What the undertaking means to Hilo

tainty that the business of the town
must increase to an extent never be

SHOPL|FTER WANTED
A HYPO Gun BADLY

a smooth japanese thief tried to
work an equally smooth game on the
HOLSTER Drug Company yesterday
morning, but the vigilance of the clerk
nipped the scheme in the bud and the
japanese was landed in Jail. He was
literally caught with the goods on him.
Monzi, as the Japanese was booked
at the station, asked the clerk to be
shown some hypodermic syringes. The
clerk laid out a couple on the counter,
which Monzi examined. He asked for
more, and while the clerks attention
was diverted he slipped one case into
his pocket. He went out to a hack,
but returned, and about that time the
clerk saw that one case was missing.
He asked the prospective customer
about it, and received a. reply to the
effect that he did not "savvy.' The
clerk was convinced that his customer
had appropriated the case and sent for
the police.
Bicycle Officer Kaahu responded.
Monzi was extremely anxious that he
should be searched. Nothing was found
on him, and Monzi was about to show
some Indignation, when the officer asked
whether Monzi had been outside the
store after the case was missed. The
clerk said the man had gone outside
Kaahu inspected the back seat of a
hack which was waiting outside and
found Monzi IS coat there. Examina-
ton of this brought to light the miss
in case. Monzi attempted to explain
that he had procured this one from a
Chinaman, but as it was clearly the
property of the HOLSTER Company,
Monzi was placed under arrest and
charged with larceney in the second
degree.
On being searched, an old morphine
outfit was found on him. Monzi told
the police that he used morphine and
showed one of his legs, which was
marked all ver~with needle points
where the drug had been injected. His
pockets gave up $31 cash. He had
just arrived from Kauai on the morn
ing steamer.
