WAIKIKI TELLS
Who STRUCK

Prisoner Alleges Cum.
mings Killed Henry
WetheriII.

Waikiki, the young Hawaiian who
has been held for several weeks at the
County Jail by Sheriff Jarrett on the
ground that he killed Henry Wetherill,
the colored member of the crew of the
S. S. Pleiades, is said to have made the
statement that he was present when
Wetherill was killed, but even after
making this admission his story is
chock full Of loopholes and he con-
tradicts himself as easily as when he
was a witness before the coroner s
jury. It is generally believed that
Waikiki is tired of being held a pris-
oner and with his usual cunning has
devised the idea that by stating he
knows of others who were present
when Wetherill was killed, he will be
given his freedom.
However, on the assumption that
Waikiki s statement might be straight
the police yesterday rearrested Tom
Cummings and Jim MeCandless in or

probed. Cummings and McCandless
were preparing to leave Honolulu. ana

case might be taken up again without

RAINBOW ACCIDENT
Due To NEGLIGENCE

Though no decision was rendered in
the Tollefsen homicide case yesterday
afternoon by United States Commits
sioner George A. Davis, the matter be-
low Attorney Weaver for the defend
ant to file brief, there is every reason
to believe that Mr.. Tollefsen will be
held to the grand jury when the de-
cisfon is rendered. The Commissioner
intimated several times that the testi-
mony made things look pretty black for
the defendant and that unless the de-
fendant IS attorney could prove to him
that the case is not covered by the
statute, he would feel it his duty to
bold Tollefsen for trial.
The testimony given yesterday shows
that there was apparently the grossest
negligence on the Rainbow. Kahina
lua, the heimsman, testified that the
rope was broken and he had to steer
with the til1er. A big swell coming
along caused him to be thrown over
board; then another swell threw the
boat around and third one capsized
her.
1t was also shown that there was
only one experienced sailor on board
and he was up forward. Another evil
l@dence of carelessness was the testimony
that the vessel, although she was car
rvinp naSSpuunrS had an hoard thirty
gallons of kerosene, which is contrary to
the regulations governing passenger
boats.
The prisoner took the stand in his
i own behalf in the afternoon, but most
of his testimony was confined to an
attempt to show that the ballast in
the hold was sufficient to counterbal-
ance the weight on deck of the forty
| six passengers. He admitted having
! the kerosene in the hold, but excused
| himself on that count by saying it was
| freight and he had right to carry
freight.
The probable defense before a jury
in case the matter goes that far, vii
likely be, as outlined by attorney
! Weaver in his argument, that thu
statute under which Captain Tollefsef
is charged does not apply for the rea
son that none of the passengers pai(
| fare. The statute, he says, applies on
~ TO passengers boats carrying pas
sengers for hire. In other words, i
the woman who was drowned had pait
her fare, Mr.. Tellefsen would be liable
under the statute. but as she did not
no blame attaches to him.

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
AFTER THAT OLD FINE

Yashihachi Fukushima is getting sor-
rier every day that he allowed the
seductive words of Negoro to induce
him to offer to go on the bond of Yoke
gawa, the Maui editor who IS charged
with having mailed obscene matter. AS
related in the Advertiser last Satuf-
day, when Fukushimi appeared before
the United States District Attorney,
the latter remembered that the Japa-
nese owed Uncle Sam considerable
sum of money, due as fine imposed
in 1904 and the payment of which at
the time was avoided by Fukushlma :
taking the Poor Convict s oath.
Yesterday an execution was issued by
the United States government directing
the Marshal to satisfy the judgment
out of the $4,000 which the japanese
professed himself to be worth. Inc
execution calls for the payment OF
$241.33 with interest since 1904.

BACHELORS To
HAVE 4 HOME
Contract Let for Annex to
Hotel Pleasanton at
Punahou.

An eighteen thousand dollar contract
was let yesterday by the management
of the Hotel Pleasanton to Contractor
Davis for the erection of large two.
story building in the Pleasanton
grounds at Punahou. The determine
ton to proceed with the enlargement
of the hosiery is in response to the
demand for accommodations, partieu-
larry by visitors in Honolulu from
abroad.
The new building, which will be quite
large, is to contain about twenty rooms
and is designed to accommodate only
guests of the male persuasion. The site
will be close to the large bathing
pavilion so that the guests may have
access to it at all hours without cross
ing the grounds. A colonnade will con-
meet the new building with the pavilion,
SO that guests may don bathing suits
in their rooms and walk to the pavilion
without being seen by other guests.
The building will be thoroughly up
to-date from hotel viewpoint. Each
| room will have a bath and there Will
be every comfort which is dear to the
| bachelor fancy. Several months ago
the management found it would be nee
essary to afford more accommodations
because of the long waiting lists OF
persons who desired to take rooms at
| the Pleasanton. The Pleasanton is an
exclusive hotel in one of Honolulu :
most charming suburbs, and since the
place was opened less than two years
ago, it has enjoyed liberal patronage.

UNIVERSITY CLUB MAY
ACQUIRE MORE LAND

i Governor Frear stated yesterday that
there is possibility that the Uni.
versity Club, which has voted to ae-
auire Haalelea Lawn for it's proposed
new quarters, may also want the adj
joining property now occupied by the
government stables on Hotel street.
The Governor expresses the belief
that this would be a good thing for
all concerned. 1t would give the Uni
versity Club more extensive grounds
and would also get rid Of the old stables
which are not exactly ornamental. The
tearing down of these and the beautify-
ing of the grounds would give q more
pleasant view from the mauka side OF
the Capitol than is now afforded.
The stables in question are used by
the Public Works Department for the
stabling of its horses and the housing
Of its wagons.

EIGHTEEN MILES

Quinn UrgesConservatlye Speed
Ordinance at Public
Meeting.

Supervisor Quinn was the sole rep
resentative of the road committee of
the Board of Supervisors at the open
meeting, held last night in the assem-
bly, room of the City Hall, to discuss
the proposed traffic ordinance. At
Quinn s request Mayor Fern acted as
presiding officer. There was more OF
less discussion over the Introductory
paragraphs of the ordinance, but it was
not until the speed regulations for au-
tomobiles came up that there was any
real argument.
The speed of fifteen miles an hour
in the downtown districts, as provided
for in the proposed ordinance, met
with general approval, but there was
a difference of opinion in regard to
crossings and corners. The suggestion
was made that at all crossings in the
restricted district automobiles should
be limited to ten miles an hour.
Supervisor Quinn expressed the be
lief that the speed limit within the
district Of Honolulu, except in the
restricted section and on the Pal
road, should not exceed twenty-five
miles an hour. On the Pail road ht
thought eighteen miles should be the
maximum. Some of those present be
lieyed that on Kalakaua avenue AM
