previous to the time that the officers
had arrived. The revolver was found

he first removed the gun except for the
possible presence of the young Hawaii.
an and may have possibly altered the
position of the gun when he replaced
it, although he swears he didn't. An
inch difference in the manner in which
he replaced it in the dead man S hand
may have meant a lot, but the officers
took his statement as truth. He was
very willing to talk and frequently as
serted that he had told all he knew.
The poi Chinaman has not yet been
arrested. In the lower berth in the
next tier to that of Kauhaihao was n
few barrels of untouched poi, directly
opposite the dead man, which had been
placed there during the half-hour in
which the latter died. 1t is the theory
of the police that the Chinaman, who
was seen running from the house, look
cu up saw inc ucuu man Win a.
revolver in his hand and ran away as
fast as he could. 1t is well known that
a Chinaman can not be induced to stay
with a dead man. No counter theory
has been advanced.
There is not the slightest trace Of n
motive for suicide. His wife, who lives
in the Star Block, has been found and
she says that he left the house on the
morning of the twenty second and went
to his job at Puuloa. He had n cold
and she begged him not to go but he
went anyway. There was not the
slightest trouble between them, or SC
she says. Two brothers have been
found. Neither can offer any reason
for his suicide. His fellow workmen
say he was cheerful, not respondent
although somewhat taciturn. In the
statements of all who knew him there
is nothing to indicate any desire fol
death. Hawaiians are not in the habit
of committing suicide. 1t is very un
usual but this appears to be the one
I exception that proves the rule.

HONOLULU PAYS
WILHELM HONOR
Reception at German Consulate
Celebrating Birthday Of
the War Lord.

Yesterday, up to two o'clock, all Ho-
nolulu celebrated in honor of the birth
day anniversary of Kaiser Wilhelm of
Germany. Until late in the evening
the Germany colony continued the cele.
bration. The annual event ON the
birthday of the German Ruler was no
less enjoyable yesterday than it has
been in the past, and the most loyal
subject of the Kaiser will have no COM
plant to make over the sincereness of
the ovations rendered his name.
William Pfotenhauer, the German
consul, acted as host at the birthday
reception, being assisted in receiving
the guests by ID. P. r. Isenberg. The
consulate in the Hackfeld building was
crowded and the reception, continuing
all morning, came to end at two o. clock
to permit the guests to get out and
toast His Imperial Majesty individual
ly instead of en- masse.
Governor Frear and his staff were
present, as were the commanding Off
GERS of all the army posts in and about
Honolulu. Major Dunning and his staff
of Fort Shafter, Major Cree and his
staff of Fort Ruger, Major Winslow
and his staff of Fort De Russy, Major
Long and his staff of Camp Very, and
officers from Leilehua were all present
to lend to the assemblage of business
suits and frock coats a military touch.
Nearly all the business men in town
called to pay their respects to the
Kaiser's representative and toast the
Kaiser himself. People began to arrive
early to avoid the rush and found that
everybody else had done the same
thing. Everybody wandered in at some
time during the day even if it was but
to stay no longer than courtesy de-
manded, as the birthday of the War
Lord is one of the events that Homo
lulu never overlooks and which no Ho.
nolulan likes to pass by and break his
record for good attendance.
Doctor Clark could have posted a few
! of his enumerators at the doors of the
consulate and obtained a fairly accu-
/ rate idea of the population of Homo
J lulu. There was little time for speech
making, the orators having to come
down off their stools and shake hands
for the sake of the Kaiser too often,
and besides the speech would have to
be repeated every five minutes for the
benefit of new arrivals. In consequence
i nobody went any further in their cele
bration, than to drink the Kaiser e
health.
Last night, at the Kilohana Art
League rooms on Beretania avenue, the
German colony celebrated by them
selves and in their own way, the birth
day of the ruler of the great North
Europe empire. What they did or how
they did none not favored with birth

Suspicious Hurry.

ouop1SlSuo I1uAlys
A few men who were returning from
work a few minutes before the body
was found saw a Chinaman running
from the house to his wagon which he
had left on the other side of the track,
get in and drive off. This Chinaman
supplies poi to the camp and as he was
undoubtedly in the house some time
during the twenty minutes between
which the man had been seen alive
and found dead, the finger of suspicion
points strongly to him and he will be
arrested and examined.
This is all that is known of the facts
in the case but as there is only space
of fifteen or twenty minutes in which
the deed could have been committed,
the officers will have comparatively
easy case to work out if it is found
that it is possible that the man found
death at the hands of another.
The police surgeon of Waipahu went
down to the camp last night 20 examine
the body but his report has not yet
been made. The coroner's jury will
hold an inquest today and meanwhile
the few clues that have offered them
selves will be followed to the end.
AS. far as known the dead man leaves
only widow and son, supposed to
live in Pua lane.

SUCCESSOR OF
MANU- IS DEAD
Is Found Shot in His Bunk One
Week After Assuming Job
of Murdered Man
MYSTERY TO BE SOLVED
Presence Of Shattered Bullet in
Pocket Lends Suspicion to
Second Tragedy.
MYSTERY TO BE SOLVED
tFrom thursdays Advertiser.)

(From Thursdays Advertiser.)
One week after he had taken the
place of MANU-, murdered mysteriously
at Puuloa, Kauhaihao was found dead
in his bunk yesterday, shot through the
head.
The bullet, still wet with his blood,
was found in the pocket Of his kimono.
His dead hand was clenched over the
butt of revolver.
From the direction taken by the
bullet through Kauhaihao's brain it is
impossible that it could have lodged
itself in the pocket. How it got there
is a mystery.
Suspicion exists that suicide is not
the cause of death.
Kauhaihao, the successor to MANU-,
the murdered Puuloa Waterman, was
found dead in his bunk yesterday,
with hole through his skull and an
liver johnson 3S revolver clutched in
his hand.
just one week from the time he
assumed his duties as night Waterman
and just a little over a week from the
time his predecessor was picked NJ
with two bullet wounds in him and
with shattered skull, Kauhaihao pre-
sumably committed suicide. MANU- 4
predecessor died while under operation
for appendicitis, just short time be
fore, and /" hoodoo" is the word most
prominent in the dredging and con
struction camps on the government
reservation at present.
Sheriff Jarrett received word by tel
ephone yesterday that man had beer
shot through the head near the bunk
house where MANU- slept and although
it was said that he was a suicide, Sc
short time had elapsed between this
4 last occurrence and the murder of Ma

detectives at once left for the scene

NJ. that time OF when Il was recalled
after his dead body was found.
The last man TO see him alive was
Night Waterman Trottcr who came up
to the city yesterday 10 make some
purchases and who was addressed per.
functorily by Kaukaihao. Trotter was
coming out OF his room, a pars of the
bunk house, when he met Kauhaihao
and the latter merely asked him If he
had been to town and then added
"My watch is stopped and wont go
the rounds.
Whether he meant by this that the
watch "would not go around' or
whether he would not make his rounds
seems vague. A few minutes after
Trotter had left him, which was about
ten minutes after three, the man evil
IDENTIFY went to his bunk, which is the
upper oae, directly next the end of
the holse, partially undressed, lay
down ON his back, crossed his feet and
deliberately shot himself through the
mouth.
AT about three-twenty, ten minutes
after Trotter had seen him, the men
knocked off work and returned to the
bunk house. A young Hawaiian, whose
bunk is under that of the dead man,
was about to lay down when he noticed
a thin stream of blood trickling down
the side. %, He climbed hastily to the
upper bunk and saw Kauhaihao with a
revolver in bis hand and blood running
out of his mouth. The boy gave a
yell and started out of the house to
another further down where he STAN
mered out that there was a man in the
| bunkhouse make with revolver
in his hand. They thought he was
joking and for time refused to come
but finally convinced by his manner
that he was in earnest, they went tt
the larger house and found things a:
he had said.
One of the men climbed up and
placed his hand on Kauhaihao's chest
and felt the flesh warm and still
twitching. He took the revolver VI
and 'broke" it, looking at the shells
but warned by the others, he replaced
| it in the exact manner in which he
found it and the body was not touched
until the officers came.
Bullet Mystery.

Dufie and Deputy Sheriff Fernandez

the testimony of those who had found
him, he is suicide; but there wai

way through his brain with still {
piece of the brain adhering to it.
! The finding of this little piece o.
lead, which completed its usefulness b.

was at once aroused in the minds o.
the investigators.

BALL|NGER ALSO
MAY Be LET OUT
Washington Correspondent Says
He viii Be Asked to Resign
From Cabinet.

His face having been saved by the
dismissal of Chief Forester Pinchot,
Secretary Ballinger himself is to be
given poiite opportunity to retire
from public life and the public eye. At
least, that is the way it is figured br
the Washington correspondent of the
Boston Transcript, who wires his paper
under date of January IL as follows;
Taft Not Party.
WASHINGTON, January 1l.-Rich-
ard A. Ballinger, secretary of the in
terror, will be asked to resign from the
Taft cabinet. This decision has been
reached by leading Republicans within
few days. President Taft is not =
party to it at present, but this desper-
ate step is believed to be necessary to
relieve the President and the Repuh-
lican party of the embarrassment caus-
ed by the unfortunate presence of the
combative Westerner in the President q
official family. Now that Mr.. Pinchot
is dethroned, it is thought that Mr.,
Ballinger can be asked to step down
and out without reflection on his in
tegrity and simply as n measure OF
party protection. 1t is the old-fashion-
ed theory that all the credit for good
work done by a department is due tho
President, not the cabinet officer, and
, that as soon as a member of the cab
met becomes an embarrassment to his
chief, it is his plain duty to resign.
Many oldfashioned statesmen, some
of them very near President Taft, re-
called this theory when the Ballinger-
Pinchot controversy broke forth, but it
never appealed to Mr.. Ballinger, and
President Taft chose not to recur to it
in his own interests. Others now have
taken the matter up, believing the par
| ty situation to be too serious to per-
init of further temporizing.
