Lieut.. Rogers
Dies Suddenly
Was One Of WaiIuku'S Most
Popular Officers.

Lieutant Waldemar III. Rogers
died suddenly of heart failure at
his home in Wailukn on Tuesday
the 11th instant at about S:45
o'clock.
He had not been well for some
time but was apparently much
better on Tuesday and reported for
work.
Deputy Sheriff Clement Crowell
declined to allow him to go to work
and told him he thought him not
well enough to work.
He then went down town and
returned to the residence of Frank
Sonmerfeld where he talked and
joked with his sisters. He was
apparently in the best Of spirits
and remained there until dinner
time and declining an invitation
to dinner went home to his wife
and children.
Some time after dinner he sug-
gested that he and his wife 60 out
and feed their two puppies but just
as he started he complained of not
feeling right and was assisted to
his bed where he died Immediately.
DR.. Osmers was telephoned for
but life was extinct on his arrival
a few moments later.
Walderma H. Rogers was born
in Wailuku thirty five years ago.
He had been a member of the police
force for about eight years and
during the past three years was a
first lieutenant.
He was an active officer and most
popular with the public and especi-
ally so with his fellow officers who
held him in high esteem.
In the absence of Rev. r. B.
Dodge the funeral services were
conducted by Rev. B. X. Kaume-
heiwar
The police and the Wailuku fire.
men turned out and accompanied
the body to the grave.
The funeral was largely attend
ed by his many friends who wished
to show their respect to the depart
ed officer.
He leaves wife and two small
sons besides two sisters and one
brother to mourn his loss.

James Keao as he was ill and too
weak to perform his duties as an
officer. He reported that he had
found Keao an excellent officer and
regretted that it was necessary for
him to dispense with his services.
The sheriff reported the appoint
ment of Joseph Wilson in the place
of Keao.
County Attorney Case reported
that he had received request from
attorney Coke of Honolulu asking
for the assistance of Deputy County
Attorney Vincent in the water suit
with the Wailuku Sugar Co. ON the
ground that the latter attorney had
had much to do in assisting him in
the suit and that his services would
be of great benefit to the county in
the suit which will come up for hear
ing next week in Honolulu.
Sanitary inspector St. Sure wrote
the Board that the sanitary condi-
ton of Wailuku, Waihee and Wal
kapu is good and that no cases of
typhoid have existed in any of these
localities for some time.
Marston Campbell wrote the Board
that he had sent a communication
to the Board of Supervisors of the
County of Maui that was intended
for the Board of Supervisors of the
County of Oahu relative to the nam
ing of a Coelho lane.
The residents of Lanai fear that
tie animals on that island may
stray from the island and want Il
government pound established there
and so request. The matter will be
taken up later and will doubtless
pass.
Superintendent of Public Works
Marston Campbell wrote the Board
that he thinks it very probable that
he can spare a civil engineer from
his Office to make the survey of the
belt road of Maui at a salary of 5000
per month and expenses. This is
good news for those who would have
a good belt road for Maui at Il min.
imum cost.

BreakWater
Gives Way
Unusually Heavy Seas Do
Damage.

On Thursday morning of this week
unusually heavy seas carried away
about fifty feet of the end of the
concrete structure of the breakwater
built by the Kahului Railroad Co.
for the protection to shipping at
Kahului.
Some time ago seas of great height
carried away about one hundred and
fifty feet. The company then built
this up with concrete in a manner
that was thought sufficiently strong
to withstand the heavy seas. The
conclusion was erroneous, however,
as was proven by the result of last
nights storm.
The action of the water proves
that more substantial structure
than can reasonably be expected
from an individual or corporation
must be built for the extensive ship
ping of this active port where the
increase of shipping is a very large
part of the commerce of the Terri
tory.
The United States government
should take hold of the matter and
make of Kahului such a harbOr as
the extensive and ever increasing
shipping demands.

A Sunday
Evening Fire
Defective Wire Causes Small
Damage in Office.

But for the excellent equipment
for fire protection at Puunene on
the plantation of the Hawaiian
Commercial & Sugar Co. and the
prompt action of the employees of
the plantation and others a serious
loss would have resulted from a
blaze which started in one of the
rooms over the office of the plan
tation on Sunday evening.
A defective wire caused fire in
one of the rooms above the office
on Sunday evening which was seen
before the fire got much headway
by Mill Superintendent w Searby,
Rev. w. Ault, J. H. Nelson and
R. Skaug.
Nelson and Skaug were in an
auto and were the first to reach the
scene and were joined almost i'm
mediately by Messers Searby, Ault
and Wren Wescoatt. The fire was
quickly extinguished before any
great damage was done.
The rooms above the office where
the fire started were occupied by
Messers II. w. Pogue and J. Mar
tin, time keepers but both were
absent at the time. They suffered
the loss of some personal effects.
The entire damage will probably
not exceed three hundred dollars.

". .T.Pope
Appointed
Frear Names Him to Succeed
babbitt.

HONOLULU, January 1l.-Pro-
fessor Willis T. Pope will be Super
intendent of Public Instruction in
succession to Winfred H. Babbitt,
resigned.
Governor Frear this morning sent
Professor Pope's s name to the Repub-
lican Territorial Executive Commit
tee for endorsation for the position.
Professor Pope, the Governors
choice out of host of voluntary and
involuntary candidates for the head
of the educational department, is
well known in educational circles
here. He is the dean of the College
of Hawaii and professor of agricul-
ture and agricultural chemistry in
that institution. Prior to his ap-
pointment to the Territorial college
faculty he was for some time an
instructor in the Normal school. He
is a graduate of the Kansas Agricul-
tural College and was for time at
Georgetown University. South Caro-
lima.
Withal the new educational chief
Of Hawaii is public spirited citi-
zen, his name often appering in
connection with progressive move
ments. His new position will give
an opportunity that can hardly be
eqalled in the Territory for the de-
velopment of executive capacity.
There is no department of govern
ment in the Territory, having a
greater variety of vexing problems,
both large and petty, constantly to
solve than the educational depart
ment.
The Republican Territorial Com
mittee met this noon and unani-
mously endorsed Professor Pope s
appointment.

Enthusiastic
Race Meeting
Good Horse Races on Maui
are Assured. l6l

The most enthusiastic race meet
ing held on Maui in many years
took place at the Maui. Hotel ON
Tuesday evening.
Judgs A. n. Kepoikai, the retir-
ing president of the association, pre-
sided with Secretary Garcia record
ing the minutes of the meeting.
A large body of representative
men were present.
Judge Kepoikai was nominated
for president but declined to serve
again. w. T. Robinson was then
nominated for president and unani-
mously elected.
A vote of thanks for good work
done by Judge Kepoikai was tender
ed the retiring president.
r. B. Lyons was unanimously
chosen vice-president while Secre-
tary and Treasurer J. Garcia was
elected to succeed himself without
opposition.
The executive committee on whom
will devolve the real active work of
the association, was then chosen.
The committee elected consists of
Capt. f. H. Parker, Dan. T. Carey
and Patrick Cockett.
1t would be hard to select a strong
er team than these three gentlemen.
They will begin at once to work for
the annual race meet on July 4th
and it is safe to predict that the race
meet on that day will be the best
seen on Maui in many years.
The purses will be larger and will
be SO arranged as to attract as many
horses as possible from Hawaii and
Honolulu.

that the existing resolutions Great
ing the office sanitary inspector and
fish and food inspector does not
clothe these official with power that
they should posses over the subjects

the repeal of all existing resolutions

food and sanitary matters formally
recreating such officers naming the
powers and duties and fixing the
responsibilities each officer who has
the overseeing of the sale of meats,
fish, poultry, game, vegetables, pro-

Geo. w. Egan spoke at the opera
house in this city Sunday afternoon.
Owing to illness this writer was un
able to hear his speech, but from the
comments we have heard Egan prov
ed to be quite a disappointment. He
is an egotist through and through
and his talk consisted mostly of tell.
ing the people what a great lawyer he
had been and how he had been per-
secuted. The latter may be true, but
even at that he fails to show that he
possesses the qualifications for the
Office to which he aspirea.
The Lake Preston ball team came
up Wednesday to try their skill
against the De Smet White Sox. The
visitors scored 10 the second inning,
and until the sixth inning it looked
as if they had the White Sox hide
nailed TO the barn door but the last
half of the sixth let De Smet in with
two uns. The visi ors We're unable
to get another run and the game thus
went to the White Sox on a score of
2 TO /. With the exception OF the
bad break in the sixth inning the
Lake Preston boys put up q good
game. OF course, we think the White
Sox the b. st team, but if they evei
cross bats again with the Lake Pres
ton team orr boys want to remember
they must play their best ball all the
time.
Once more we desire to call the
attention of the republican voters to
the candidacy of Christian Rettig, of
Spirit Lake township, for the nomina-
ton for county auditor. Mr.. Rettig
has been a resident of the central
portion of this county since 1898 and
is highly esteemed as a man of honor
and ability among his acquaintances
where he will surely receive a hearty
vote. But it is to those who are not
personally acquainted with the gen
tleman that we desire to recommend
him. He is a man of good business
capacity and Judgment, very neces,
sary qualifications for the office of
county auditor. Before coming to
this STATE Mr.. Rettig held Il position
as bookkeeper and Office manager for
a firm in Chicago for something like
twenty years. This experience Ger
tainly qualities him for the position
be seeks. The republican voters will
make no mistake if they go to the
polls tuesday and cast their vote for
Christian Rettig for county auditor.
