HaStHnGd Death
Because Wounded

There has been much talk concern
ing the recent death of tourist here,
Captain Brook Smith, who was ac-
companied by one DR.. Walker who re-
turned to the coast in the S. s. Sierra,
for that the doctor issued a certificate
of death as occurring from heart fail
ure, and also caused the remains to be
cremated.
While the case may be mysterious
or have the appearance Of mystery be-
cause of the absence of a death GER
tificate by local physician, and on
account or the cremation, certain facts
point to circumstances anything but
suspicious, rather indicating nothing
extraordinary.
Captain Brooke Smith was a man of
As years, citizen of the world and a
Britisher. He had served in the
Boer war, wherein ne received three
bullets in his body, necessitating an
incision extending from the breast to
the abdomen, the wound every now
and then fostering, causing him much
agony.
He had been given up by doctors
abroad and DR.. Walker was travelling
with him a nurse, companion and ply
sician.
He was worth in the neighborhood
of three-quarters of a million dollars,
most of which goes to his sister some
where in the mainland states.
He spent an average of hundred
dollars day while in Honolulu, using
automobiles most of the time, keeping
them waiting outside of his Waikiki
residence for hours at a time. He
was more than generous with his
money and drank very heavily, treat
ing his friends without stint, and apS
pearing as a man who knows death is
near and who wants to have good
time as long as he lasts,
He had been captain Of the private
yacht of the King of Belgium and had
commanded yachts OF other rulers He
was once master of a Cmard liner in
the Atlantic
He got his wealth through inherit
ance and careful investment.

F4ANA-BOUND SCHOONER FOGGED AND LOST
WHITE SLAVE TRADE
lJNEARTHED ON MAUI

The recent trip to Maui of United
States Marshal Eugene r. Hendry, not
to mention trip made about the same
time by United States District Attor-
ney R. w. Breckons, has resulted in
the arrest of Russian and his daugh-
ter and a Japanese at Lahaina, whence
the three will be brought to Honolulu
to answer charges having to do with
white slave traffic.
According to the testimony of a Ko-
rean, Kin Young Six, now in this city
as a witness in the case of alleged
forgery against Patterson, the Hama
kuapoko assistant postmaster, Rus
sian immigrant laborer offered to sell
his sixteen year old daughter, come
ly girl, to the Korean above named
for the sum of $500. The Korean, 1t
is said, contemplated the proposed
transaction, but first took the girl on
trial. He postponed the expected pay
ment of money until, us he explained

WOMAN s ASSAILANT
NOW IN THE BRIG

One of the U. S. Marines recently
arrested for unproVoked assault on
Hawaiian woman who had been swim
ming near the Bishop wharf, has bad
preliminary hearing by court martial
and now reposes in the guard house
for further disposition.
In The Star appeared the story of
how two young men of the Healani
boat club rescued the woman when
a couple of Marines were dragging her
by the hair and otherwise maltreating
her.
There is much indignation in the
Marine camp over the action of the
one man of the two who is held to be
responsible, since such brutality ma.
turally tends to reflect on the camp.

trousseau for his prospective bride,
said trousseau to consist of a
number Of long dresses, inasmuch as
the girl, at the time she was offered
for sale, was wearing knee skirts,
with her hair in twin pigtails. How
ever, the deal between the Russian
and the Korean did not come to pass
and, it is alleged, the father transfer
red his pretty but unfortunate daugh-
ter to a Japanese, Sakai by name, and
it is charged that the Japanese has
been peddling her.
The Japanese, when confronted by
the Federal officers, produced a mar
riage license, apparently hoping that
this license would help with the law,
but in which hope he is now sadly
disappointed.
When Breckons takes a vacation it
does not follow that prosecution takes

here and San Pedro, though he gave
up the latter idea on account of the
time it would take him to take out
American citizen papers.
Years ago he suffered a sad disap-
pointment in love with a lady of the
nobility, and since that time neglected
his personal welfare as to health.
He depended largely on DR.. Walker
for advice and the management of his
affairs. He was infatuated with Ho-
nolulu and wanted to make this city
his permanent home.

this class have a prediction for tax-

there is anything woman just actually

PREVENTING WIDOWS.

1t sounds all but ridiculous to speak
of preventing widows, yet that was
what was discussed at the National
Conference of Charities and CoIrec-
ton held this year at st. Louis. The
persistency with which the subject
kept coming up is noted in The Sur
vey for July.
1T was in way the keynote of the
meeting for every problem of depen-
dence, of education. of crime, of
health, is infinitely sharpened when it
falls on a woman's shoulders. Did

she contract tuberculosis in an unsan-

worry; did she crowd dodgers into her
home-if any one of a score of such
things happened. the question was not,
why did it happen, but why was she
a widow?
so the workers in charity turned
