THIS KOREAN IMsPosToR
ovERREACHED HndELF.

(NIail Special to The Advertiser.)
Hilo, June 5.-The latest oriental
trick conceived for the purpose of de-
ceiving the authorities, was played in
Kona last week, when Korean tried
to inpersonate the claimant in one of
the damage suits against the Hutehin-
son which were at the time being tried
at Kailua. The actual plaintiff in this
case had assigned his contract to the
Korean in question, and the latter
would probably have had perfectly
valid claim as the assignor' 3 successor
in interest. The shrewd oriental m.nd
opined, however, that it would be bet
ter 10 impersOnate the original plaintiff,
and so well did he carry on his game
that he deceived his own attorney, O.
w. Ashford, to whom undoubtedly all
Koreans look more or less alike.
So the case went to trial, and it pro
crossed quite nicely until Judge Stan
Icy, appearing for the plantation, wal
told by some of the Korean witnesses
that the plaintiff WAS not the man whom
he was believed to be, the real plaintiff
living at Olaa. An investigation wal
made which showed that the plaintiff
WAS an imposter, and Ashford threw
up the case in disgust.
County Attorney Beers, who give
the facts mentioned above, says tha
the willy Korean will be prosecuted OF
a charge Of perjury.

WILL OPPOSE TAKING
Of PAUPER'S OATH
GOVERNMENT TO RESIST THE
ATTEMPT BY CONFESSED
sMUaoLER.
(From Thursday q Advertiser

when Albert Howard, confessed
opium smuggler, applies today in the
federal court to be relieved from the
payment of his fine Of $1,000 because
he is a pauper, the district attorney e
office will object. Howard claims he
is practically penniless, but Assistant
District Attorney w. T. Rawlins stat
ed in court yesterday that the govern
ment win resist his attempt to take the
poor man 8 oath.
Judge Clemons recently sentenced
Howard to pay the fine mentioned.
Being without cash to do so the second
steward of the Manchuria was commit
ted to all. The statute says that after
thirty days man can apply to the
court for release upon taking what is
known as the pauper's oath.
Thirty days have passed since How
ard was sentenced and he is prepared
to swear that he is pauper. His at
torney, Leon M. Straus, announced this
fact in the federal court yesterday af-
ternoon.
Whatever becomes of his applica-
ton ii is known that if Howard is re-
leased he will be at once re-arrested on
charge of perjury. 1t is asserted by
the district attorneys office that he
stated before the grand jury that he
did not bring the opium ashore while
he swore in the federal court, on the
day Chris. Snyder was acquitted, that
he did bring the contraband from the
steamer.
In conversation in Marshal Hendry &
Office last evening, Howard said that
ill-luck seems to have logged his foot
steps in recent years. He lost two
apartment houses in San Francisco AT
the time of the earthquake and fire
Two years after that misfortune he was
bereft of an income of $40 month
by the wreck of the lumber carrier
Argo, in which he had shares. That
vessel went down off Tillamook, Ore
gon, during a gale.
He also stated that on the last triI
of the Manchuria the purser brought
down his wages of $40 and his gold
watch and chain. He had hoped the
purser would have given these to his
wife in San Francisco. However the
check and tlmeplece were taken to hin
in the Jail here and he asserts that off
Gals took themm from him with the re
mark that they would be used toward
paying off the fine imposed by the
court.
/ "You say you will take the pauper' =
oath; are you pauper1" he was asked
ffI am not liar, and never have
been a liar" he replied, "and I an
telling the truth when say that, out
side of that $40 which was brought
down by the purser as due me 70
wages, have not got SO to my name
have not even money enough to pay
my fare home.''

GIRL OVERSIGHT AND
SAVED THE HOUSE

HILo, June ga dangerous fire
started last Saturday morning at Smith
vile in twO-story house, and a gem
eral confagration of that congested
tenement quarter was averted only by
a piece of luck. The blaze started in
the second story of a building, in a
room occupied by a Japanese. The
man, bachelor, cooked his morning
meal on charcoal stove and departed
for his work, leaving the fire in the
stove burning.
The fire in some way spread from the
stove to the floor, and was noticed by
young girl who was sleeping in the
room below, when the fire had eaten
through the floor and sparks were fall
ing into her room. The girl had over
slept, and it was owing to this cireum-
stance that the fire was discovered, as
under ordinary conditions the house
would have been empty of tenants al
this time of the day. The girl gave
the alarm, and the blaze was extin'
guished by neighbOring Japanese by
the means of buckets.

where work is needed Immediately is

Another place where work should be
done soon, besides, of course, Hama

is the road across the lava flow be-
tween Kona and Kau. Here the road
is of clinker and "a and there is no

used to great advantage on this piece
of road. 1t can carry material for top
dressing from the cones and then, as
IL carries this over the road, it is at
the same time rolling the road, thus
accomplishing at one time the work of
both road roller and of traction

"During our trip we inspected the
new Honolii road intend to make
detailed report on this piece of work
which will submit to the supervisors

As evidence of the prosperity of Il

done here in the typographical al

to the expectations of both the pu

cording to r. w. Robinson, the loo

ROMAN CATHOLICS
AND MARRIAGE RITES

If you are Roman Catholic and de-
sire to be married according to the
mites of the Roman Catholic church,
notice just issued by Bishop Libert will
be particularly interesting. The notice
is, in short, that Roman Catholics who
appear before a priest in this dioccses
as contracting parties in marriage
without having first obtained a certi-
ficate of baptism from the priest in
charge of the church where the bap-
tismal rite was performed will have
to remain unmarried until the certi-
ficate be obtained.
According to the marriage laws of
the Roman Catholic church, faithful
Catholic may be married only by the
priests of that church and marriages
otherwise contracted are not recognized
by the chlrch, while the marriages
must be recorded in the baptism book
of the parish in which the baptism is
recorded. The further obligation is
now imposed of securing a certificate
of baptism, of recent date, from the
same parish priest before marriage.
The Roman Catholic church does not
recognize the ordinary divorce, and, as
the marriage of any Roman Catholic
must be registered with the one from
whom baptismal certificate must be
obtained for any second marriage, a
check is thus provided against di-
vorced person marrying again. An Of
fetal notice in this issue, signed by the
+, Bishop of Zedgma, gives the notice
here referred to. 1t makes no mention
whatever Of divorce, but it is evident
ly intended to cover that point as wei
as Others.

A BILLY FENNELL
WANTED IN HAWAII
tMaiI Special to The Advertiser.l

HILo, June 5.-When the board of
liquor license commissioners meets this
month, it will probably establish a
permanent position as license inspector.
The Job will be a rather we'll
salaried one, as the board insists that
it must have a man to fill it who is
both honest and active.
Chairman Moir of the board said be-
fore leaving for Honolulu last week
that now, as the board had secured
from the legislature an annual appro-
priation Of $500 for the coming bien-
NAL period, il was reasonably certain
that the position of license inspector
would be made a permanent one. He
could not say what the salary would
be, but Il is thought that the board
will be able to spare about $3.50 n
month for the purpose, and it has been
planned TO make the liquor license in
spector act as inspector of the licenses
under the county treasurer's Office az
well, the county paying him a monthly
sum for this, which may help defray
travelling expenses.

KAUAI ATTORNEYS NO
LONGER IN CONTEMPT

County Attorney Kaeo of Kauai no
longer rests lnder the imputation of
being in contempt of Judge Dole IS
court, as Attorney General Lindsay re-
ceived wireless from him yesterday
stating that the judge has rescinded
the sentence imposing fine of s. upon
Kaeo for having placed one foot on
the courtroom table while court was
in session.
A point of contention between the
judge and the attorney was as to wheth-
er the court was in session at the time
the foot was elevated onto the mahog-
any. The judge says it was, the at
torney says it WASH It. Anyhow the
Judge told the attorney to come up
with five spot for contempt. Kaeo
declined to "pungle up' so the judge
said he would refuse to allow him to
practise in his court 1ntil the fine was
Forthcoming.
Both court and counsel then beat il
to their typewriting machines and
poured out their souls in letters to the
Encouragement, asking for his ruling
on the subject. With the resembling
of the fine Mr.. Lindsay considers the
incident closed.

as it disappeared. Last week Father

cupboard whence it had been stolen,
the thief having evidently found that
its contents were too dangerous to dis

(Mail Special 10 Tho Advertiser.)
HILO, June 5.-Tho six hundred
thousand dollars which the county has
been authorized to borrow to construct
a belt road with, will be sufficient for
the purpose, but there win be nothing
to spare out Of the appropriation if a
really good job is wanted.
This is the opinion expressed last
week by County Engineer southworth
after that official had returned from
the trip around the entire island which
he made, in company with Chairman of
the Supervisors Jim Lewis, to get data
with reference to the roads on this is
land. During the trip he and Lewis
met two members Of the belt road com
mission, namely Horner and Hind, and
it was decided that the first meeting
of the commission should take place in
ITilo as soon as A. w. Carter, the Ko-
hala member, had returned from Ho-
nolulu, which win be about the middle
OF tne present month.
Southworth and Lewis had an ex-
ceedingly strenuous trip, as they GOV.
cred not only the belt road, but all the
other roads they could get at as well
making long side trips into North KO
hala and Pima, and covering in the ag
gregate over five hundred miles OF
road. The first part of the trip, from
Hilo to Waimea, was made by vehi
Gle, and the roads were so bad that il
Hamakua, for instance, three teams
had to be employed in one day. From
Waimea to Hilo, through Kona. Kar
and Puma, the trip was made in al
auto piloted by Supervisor Beclley. II
every district visited the supervisor
and road supervisor for that district
was taken along to point out the va
rious troubles which they had to con
tend with.

Shot the Bad Spots.

An interesting feature of the inspec-
tion trip, on which Southworth ex-
poets to make a full report to the
board of supervisors later on, is Sc
ries of photographs which the county
engineer took of various bridges and
pieces of road, and which he will in
corporate in his Office records. There
are over a hundred of these pictures,
and they give an excellent idea of how
are the conditions of the roads in the
various districts, and they will be good
for reference where members of the
board of supervisors make the condi-
tion of the roads of their particular
districts the basis of demands for ex-
ira funds.
"The best road we found in Kona,
Kau and Puma" said Southworth last
week after his return to Hilo. HThe
worst roads are those in Hilo and Ha-
makua, and the very worst piece is
that from the other side of Laupahoe-
hoe to Ookala. The roads are natural
ly worst on the windward side of the
island, where there is much rain and
no drainage. The main feature of
these bad roads is the very large drain
age area which lies mauka of them, and
the rainfall and the run-off which spills
into the roadway, which has to act as
y ditch to carry off all this water.

None TO Spare.

"I feel that the 100000 appropria-
ton for the belt road will be sufficient
for the purpose, but / don't think
that there will be anything to spare
There are some sections of road
which are in good condition at pres
ent, but they require constant atten-
tion on account of the lack of good
drainage, and some new features will
have to be added to these roads before
they will be satisfactory in that re-
spect.
"I have taken series of photo
graphs of roads and bridges through
out the county, which 1 will ineor-
porate in the records of my office.
These win to great extent serve to
eliminate discussion from various dis
tricts when they are pulling each for
an appropriation for its own purposes

conditions are in each instance in the

Business Organization.

'fIn the new organization which we
expect win be perfected in the near
future, we intend to handle this mat
ter on business basis, and plantation
managers, homesteaders and even cat
tlemen will cooperate with us and as
sist the county in keeping this drain
age off the roads. 1t is difficult to
maintain roads which are being used
as bitches to carry off waste water, but
it is an easy thing to maintain roads
as long as you have to look out for
only the water which falls on the road
bed itself
"With regard to the condition of
the bridges in the county may say
that there is any quantity of bridges
which need repairing, Several of them
are already in very bad shape, and the
plantations have to keep them trestled
up underneath to make them passable,
while in the Hilo district the railroad
company has been compelled to jack
up several bridges in order TO carry
its freight and machinery over them.
A great deal of work in this line must
be done, particularly in the districts
of Hilo and Hamakua. There are half
dozen bridges which require imme-
date attention. and there are certain
steep grades which require location
before any work can begin on them.
