Was It
Murder?
Korean Woman Dies From
Strange Cause.

A Korean woman residing at
Waikapu with her husband died
Saturday morning from causes
which battle the police and the
coroner's jury
On Friday evening Chong Chong
Sur returned home and found his
wife and another in compromising
relationship and attempted to do up
the man, but the latter succeeded
in making good his escape.
Chong then beat his wife. Med
ical attendance was given the wo-
man, but the physician reported
there was nothing serious the mat
ter with the woman.
On the following morning she
was reported to be dying and ply
sicians called in.
After the woman's death an au-
topsy was performed, but none of
the physicians could tell the cause
of death.
There were no minor bruises and
abrasions, but nothing of serious
nature could be found.
The coroners jury found the wo-
man came to her death from causes
unknown.
Whether the grand jury will be
able to find further evidence, re-
mains to be seen.

Filipinos On
War Path
Attempt to Decrease their
Number with Knives.

A hurry up call was sent to the
police station Sunday morning
from Waihee. Fllipinos were re-
ported to be fighting with knives
with an evident determination to
exterminate part of their number
Deputy Sheriff Crowell responded
and with one assistant and the
deputy county attorney rushed
over in an automobile.
Benito Domingo was arrested as
it seemed that he had attacked one
Thomas Gutiero with large knife
made from file. The coat of the
complaining witness was cut and
torn and the claim made that the
defendant had hidden behind a
door and attempted to assassinate
him as the entered the room.
The defendant was badly cut
about the head and face but it was
explained that he received these
wounds when he was thrown down
by those who interfered as peace
makers.
The case appears to be badly
tangled and it is difficult at this
time to get at the real facts of the
case.
The parties are still held at the
police station for further investiga-
tion

charged at the rate of seven and one
half cents per thousand gallons. Ka-
hului water users are to be charged
eight cents per thousand gallons and
Kula water users fifteen cents per
thousand gallons. By this means
those who use but little water will
have their rates materially reduced
while those who waste water will
have to pay adequately for the same.
The committee reported than an
agreement is being drawn up by the
parties at issue in what is known as
the Wailuku water suit and it is be-
lieved the same will be amicably
settled.
The report of the County Attor-
ney showed one of the best records
ever made.
The report showed that in Wai-
luku thirty-six persons had been
prosecuted and thirty-six convicted
Their fines amounted to $44S. so
In Lahaina, thirteen persons were
prosecuted and thirteen convicted.
Their fines amounted to 500. In
Makawao ten persons were prosecu-
ton and ten convicted, who paid
1928 in fine. In Hama, eight were
prosecuted and eight convicted, who
paid $4O in fine. In Kipahulu, five
were prosecuted and four convicted.
The fines totalled $40. Molokai and
Honuaula hold the record however
as not one prosecution occurred in
either place.
Sheriff Saffsry reported that the
conduct of the police is fair. There
were no dismissals nor suspensions
during the month.
a petition from the residents OF
Koanae was received, in which it
asked that work on belt road be let
out in small contracts. This is the
course adopted by the board some
time ago, and the petitioners were
so notified. They will be given an
opportunity to do the work in their
locality by this means.
The report of Sanitary Inspector
DR.. f. A. st. Sure of the Wailuku
district was read. 1t is follows:
Wailuku, March /, 1910.

sors, County of Maui, T. II.
Gentlemen:

report as Sanitary Inspector for

ary of the detective to be $50 pei
month. The matter was taken up
by the supervisors in executive
session.
The sheriff reported that the
county physician, VIM. Osmers,
had refused to perform an autopsy
on the body of Mrs. Chong Chong
Sur, a Korean woman, who was
killed at Waikapu, Saturday. He
reported that the doctor refused to
perform operation on the ground
that he had no place for such an
operation and did not have the ne
cessary instruments.
The sheriff then employed DR.. j.
III. Farrell to do the work for S4O,
and asked that the claim be paid.
Mr.. Lyons moved to defer action
until 7:3O O'Clock and requested the
clerk to ask DR.. Osmers and the
sheriff to be present. The matter
was taken in executive session.
Sanitary Inspectors Drs. W. f.
McConkey and F. Bert both sent in
pathetic reports on the ravages OF
tuberculosis, and of a number OF
deaths from this dread disease.
f. F. Deinert reported the grant
ing of chauffeur's license to Mrs,
H. p. Baldwin, Henry c. Mossman
and George Edwards.
The committee appointed by the
board to investigate the matter of be-
ginning sanitarium and home for
indigents made most encouraging
report. Deputy Sheriff Edgar Nor
ton offers free of charge the use of
suitable lands for the purpose until
tract of land can be acquired from
the territory. The Superintendent of
Public Works has consented to set
ting aside large tract of land in
kula for this purpose. He will di-
rect 5. NJ. Kanakanui to make the
necessary survey as soon as he COM
pletes his present work.
The establishment of this santa
rum and home for indigents is one
of the most urgent needs of the
county.
The committee on public inn
proyements reported that many
complaints has been received of the
unjust water rates charged. The
committee made II careful investi-
CATION and recommended that water
meters be installed and all users OF
water in Lahaina and Wailuku be

Supervisors
Meeting
Many Matters Of Interest
Are Considered.

The monthly meeting of the board
of supervisors for the county was
held Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday of this week.
All of the members of the board
were present.
After the reading of the minutes
and their approval, communications
were taken up.
The merchandise department of
the Kahului Railroad Company
wrote that they would replace all
broken school desks ordered of
them.
County Treasurer Baldwin report
was filed. His report showed that
his office had collected s1S71.05 as
water rates, and that there was on
February 2Sth still due the County
for water rates from Wailuku and
Kahului but $120.45
A communication was received
from Hon. II. p. Baldwin relative
to a complaint he had received from
Mr.. r. C. Searle, in regard to the
bridge at Honokohua. The re-
cords were looked up from which it
appears that on March 18th of last
year Mr.. Searle. had written the
board asking that bridge be con-
structed across the stream. The
matter was referred to Mr.. Decoto,
who he had met with the county
supervisor of the district, and Mr..
Searle both of whom agreed that it
would be best to wait until new
road could be located and a proper
bridge built. Chairman fogue re-
ported having made personal in
spection of conditions and had seen
Mr.. Searle about the bridge. He
said Mr.. Searle had suggested put
ting the bridge, but ten feet above
the present one. Chairman Pogue
believes the road should be relocat-
ed some hundreds of feet above and
a bridge erected there. This will
probably be done.
The matter was referred to the COM
mittee on public Improvements.
r. p. Hose, the water man of La
haina submitted his report, which
gave a list of users of water, the
size of their yards, houses and the
rate paid by each. He recommend
ed the purchase of additional pipe
for the convenience of a. part of his
town. He estimated the cost of
pipe, fittings, and labor at $500,
while the revenue therefrom, he es-
timated at $50 per annum.
Supervisor Kauhi was appointed
by the board last meeting to look
into the request of the citizens of
Kahakuloa for trail to their maui
ka lands. He recommended that a
trail be constructed for them, pro-
vided they would agree to keep up
the same. Unless they do this, he
recommends that no action by the
board be taken.
NJ. w. Hoag, a civil engineer,
made application for employment,
but as arrangements are under way
for the work of surveying the belt
road around east Maui by an cngi-
neer now in the service of the De-
partment of Public Works, the APP
plicant will probably be so inform
ed.
Mrs. George Z. Cooke wrote that
owing to the illness of Mr.. Cooke,
he was unable to report on the con-
dition of the Jail and a school house
at Kaunakakai as requested by the
board. Such report will be made
by Mr.. Cooke on his recovery.
Sheriff Saffery wrote the board,
recommended the appointment of
regular detective to look particular
ly for certain violators of the law,
who are too numerous, but who
eyade the regular police. The sal

Kula Pipe
Being Moved
County May Have a Sanito=
rum in KuIa.

The two large motor trucks of
the Kahului Railroad Companv
are kept busy day after day haul
ing the heavy iron pipe of the Ku,
la waterworks. The train CONVEYS
the pipe from Kahului to Keauhua
and the trucks carry it about four
miles further up Haleakala and
roll it off on the roadside near the
boundary line between Kula and
Makawao. Each truck for a load
takes II or 13 pieces of this 1S-foot
pipe.-As there are seventeen miles
of 1t or about 5000 pieces, and as
the motors can make but few trims
a day, it will take months for the
transportation of it. After has been
conveyed from Keauhua, nearly
double the number of trips must
be taken to bear it still further up
the mountain to the pipe line, Ell
ther at Omaopio or Kaonoulu or
perhaps Ulupalakua.
A road at Omaopio is being espe-
cially constructed by the County
for the purpose.
One of the trucks made a sue
cessful run to Kaonoulu and back
the other day.
Transporting this heavy pipe is
hard on the gasoline drays, but
much more burdensome upon OK
carts.
I. Awana of Makawao has a
contract for hauling some of the
pipe from Brewers, Makawao to
Olinda and finds three pieces a
sufficient load for his oxen.
The transportation question is
ever a vexatious one in Hawaii nei
The Makawao Polo Club will be-
gin practice in April.
The other afternoon Dr.. w. f.
McConkey and Chairman Pogue of
the supervisors held a conference
at Paia concerning the establish
ing a sanitorium in simple man
ner at Keokea, Kula. The idea
(roushly stated us for the County to
lease small piece of land at Keo-
kea and set up few tents upon it
for the use of INDECENT tuberculo-
sis patients, the establishment to
be under the charge of the govern
ment physician aided by the resi-
dent policeman. Whether such
scheme will be found practicable
or not, it is certainly most compli-
mentary to the humanitarian mo-
tives of its originators.

Baldwin Home for old men has

Smyrna Figs.

The crop of figs for 1909 is esti.
mated at 10000 camel loads weigh
ing about ~ cwt. each. Producers
first complained OF disease on the
tree which made the new fruit fall.
but at present indications are good,
and the quality is expected to be at
least the same as that Of last year.
The yield in camel loads for previ.
GUS years was as follows: 112,70O
In 1908; 1880 in 1907; 114,775 in
1906; 101,025 in 1905, and 82,730 in
1904.

ems and deteriorates to certain ex.
tent. In order to obviate the neces.
sity OF using fruit of this kind, and
also to avoid the middleman's pro.
dts, an American company has just
established large packing house at
Nazli. the chief producing center Of
Asia Minor, about 100 miles from
Smyrna. The sea water necessary to
moisten the fruit in packing is to
be sent in barrels by train daily from
Smyrna,
The other packers, who all have
their establishments in Smyrna,
strongly oppose this enterprise, from
which it may be inferred they fear
they will be unable to produce figs
as good or as well packed as those
of the American company.-Consul.

A young English suffragette tells
of funny incident that happened
at a meeting in the Scotch High
lands. Speeches had been made to
large crowd. Questions had been
replied to amid applause. Imbecile
young men making remarks about
minding babies and mending socks
had been silenced. Then, just as
there was temporary lull before the
putting of a resolution, a great bu.
collie Scotch voice from the back of
the crowd rasped slowly in with the
inquiry, obviously the result of pro
longed rumination, 'Wha made a

Rach's Plano.

The Museum of Munich has just
had built a magnificent copy Of the
grand piano OF J. s. Bach, Of which
the original figures in the collection
of ancient instruments at Berlin. The
piano of Bach. which had been built
according to his directions for his
personal use. Is veritable master
piece of keyboard technique. It is
piano with double keyboard, in
which there is for each touch four
strings, which can at the will of the
sxesutant play or be silent, as In the
organ. The replica Of the Munich
Museum reproduces faithfully the
sonorous effects of the original. and
1t is to be regretted that 1t had not
been placed where the public could
hear Bach's music just as he played
it.-London Globe.
