BILLYGOAT WAS
ON THE WARPATH
Attorney for Frank B. Craig"
Rapid Transit Franchise.

Doc Monserrats billygoat went
on the Sheridan street warpath last
evening and knocked a woman down.
Her name is Koki and her husband
works for Hall & Son. She
was carried home with buses and a
sprained ankle.
The goat is plagued by the street
boys who hang about near the Chin
ese consulate; and last evening they
drove the animal to frenzy. He
made crazy noises in his throat,
wheezed and snorted, sprang at peo-
pie, butted and finally ran amuck.
The woman stopped to watch the
goat and he went for her with the
force of a motorcycle and hit her
below the knees. She went down like
as if shot and lay in the road crying
and screaming. Her husband heard
her and came to the rescue, carrying
her home,
Another woman who passed along
Sheridan street afterward was sighted
by the goat, who got interested at
once, but j. Alfred Magoon and a
Star reporter intervened to protect
her and she was not molested. The
boys kept on teasing the animal how
ever, which was finally chased home

but before Miller street had been
passed he expired.
The deceased was q good workman,
bearing an excellent character. He
was for many years a resident Of
Wailuku, having been employed on
the Kahului railway as a motorman.
He was by trade an engine driver,
and had been so employed by Contrac-
tor Chambers on the Y. M. c. A. build

several children, who are totally un-
provided for, excepting an insurance

which may amount to from $3.50 to
$1,25O
The unfortunate German was a
Knight of Pythias, having enrolled
in the W-ailul1u Lodge. He lived with
his wife and family on Punchbowl
street, near Emma. The funeral will
take place at two-thirty tomorrow aft
ernoon, from Williams undertaking
parlors, to the Nuuanu cemetery.
All the men on the job, including
the contractor, have signified their
intention of attending the funeral.
Immediately the accident was made
known to the contractor he stopped
all work for the day.

PROFFERED RELIEF SPURNED
BY EMIGRANT AGENT CRAIG;
RAPID TRANSIT BILL PASSED

In the House this morning the fol-
lowing communication was received
and laid on the table to be considered
with the bill in question:

on its face it purports to be bill

A JAPANESE.
ELECTROCUTED

A sixth violent death for the week
was reported this morning. This time
it was Japanese painter named X.
Okadaki, who was electrocuted in full
view of three people who were forced
to watch the grewsome scene without
being able to render any help.
The man was engaged to repaint
the front of a Chinese store opposite
Aala Park, and had just placed hooks
in position in the wall in order to
build his scaffolding, when he leaned
over and caught hold of an electric
wire. AS soon as his hand touched
the wire he fell forward. The police
were Immediately communicated with,
and were soon on the scene. But,
of course, he was beyond all human
aid, having been electrocuted in a
very short time.

LOW ROASTS AND CATHCART ANSWERS

The supervisors meeting last night
was enlivened by a roast by Eben
Low of Deputy County Attorney Mil
verton, on account of the latter's two
months absence while trying a pri-
vate case in Kona. Milverton drew
his salary as deputy while away. Low
wanted to know whether he had had
leave of absence and suggested that a
special committee be appointed to
investigate. Mcclellan seconded his
suggestion, and Low was named to
constitute the committee.
DIR. ]. T. Wayson, city physician,
asked for authorization for the EN-
ployment of a trained nurse for his
department. Doctor Wayson notified
the board he had appointed Doctor
Moore as assistant county physician,
and Miss Arnold, a graduate of Los
Angeles training school, as nurse.
The report of the committee on ways
and means, notifying the board that
an auto costing $4,000 had been pur-
chased for the city was approved.

CONDITIONS OF
DEPARTURE OF
THE ORTERIC

The Orteric is still outside, but as
is we'll known, the Captain is anxious
to get away to Vancouver in order to
take up his running in the regular
service that the boat Is to be engaged
in between Vancouver and the Orient,
Inquiries this morning from Davies e
Co. elected the information that it
was uncertain when she would be
dispatched. Matters, however, are
approaching the time when every
thing will be in readiness for her de-
parture, for they were notified later
on that their putting up a bond, to be
approved by the United States Dis
trict Attorney, of $4,000 to cover the
amount of fines imposed for alleged
violations of the Passenger Act, she
could get away. This does not affect
the question of whether she will be IL
belled by the Territory in accordance
with Consul Canavairos request, as
previously reported in The Star, that
damage suits be brought in behalf Of
the parents of children who died dur
ing her voyage here,
Territory Not Worrying.
Attorney General Alexander Lind
say, Jr., stated this afternoon that
since the Orteric was free to go as
far as the Federal government is con-
cerned, there is nothing to hold her
on the part of the Territory. What
ever disputes there are between the
Territory and the shiopwners, as per
charter, must of necessity be re-
ferred to arbitration.
The passage money for the immi-
grants was 100000, of which only half
has been paid, and if there were any
damages coming to the Territory an
arbitration conference would settle
how much of the amount due should
be retained. At present there is no
call for arbitration.
Or. Clark Seen.
DIR. Victor Clark, of the Territorial
Board of immigration this morning
was approached by Star reporter
with regard to the effect of the fines
on the British steamer Orteric, that
brought the 1,5OO odd Portuguese and
Spanish immigrants here.
Eventually he said, in effect: With
regard to the alleged violations OF
the Passenger Act, it should be noted
that the most serious infringements
of the Act, and those that seem to
have had the most effect on the COM
fort of the passengers, were viola
tions that occurred after the steamer
had left port, and could not have
been foreseen by Mr.. Campbell The

When the p NJ. S. China arrived
yesterday afternoon from the Orient
there was an air of excitement on the
wharf, ana everybody seemed expect
ing something to happen. The Gus,
toms men were around at various
points, and the usual diligent search
was being carried out, but all after
noon and night passed away without
anything untoward being discovered.
This morning, however, the matter
eliminated shortly before the hour set
for her sailing-ten o'clock-when
three Chinese were taken from the
boat on a charge of having had opium
in their possession, and another was
detained as a witness.
A Note Gave a Tip.
The knowledge that there was to be
an attempt to smuggle the opium
ashore was gained in peculiar man
ner. One of the crew handed note
in. Chinese for one of his friends on
the wharf. Instead of carrying the
letter straight to the man to whom 1t
was addressed, it was translated i'm
mediately, and in order to make sure
that the first translation was correct,
this was checked, with the same re-
suit.
In order to make it appear that

WORKMAN KILLED BY FALL
FROM THE Y. N. c. A. BUILDING

At eight o'clock this morning /.
German workman named Henry Bis.
sen, employed on the new Y. M. c.
A. building, fell to the ground from
the top coping and was literally
smashed to death
The unfortunate man was working
with two others, either engaged in
removing the moulds from the ce-
ment above the coping or holding
onto the freshly uncovered cement
or doing other work. One set of wit
nesses allege that he was removing
a mould which came off easier than
he expected and threw him off his
balance. Another set state that he
was actually holding onto the new
cement and it crumbled in his grasp,
precipitating him to the ground.
1t was hopeless case from the mo-
ment he struck the ground, and when
willing helpers rushed to his assist
ance he was then almost dead. He
was unconscious, but breathing heaV-
lily, and blood gushed from his mouth.

gins were working close to the man
at the time of the accident, and all

with the roast of his deputy, MilveE.
ton, by Supervisor Low. "Mr Miiver-
ton has worked for the municipality
for three and a half years without a
vacation" said Cathcart, "and if he
chooses to take his vacation trying
case in Kona, he has a right to do
so. The members of the department
of the Territorial Attorney General
take two months vacation, on salary,
every year. Under that system Mr.
Milverton would have over six months
coming to him.
1T is utterly impossible, for the sal
airy provided, to get a competent law,

county attorney unless he is allowed
to engage in private practice. Mr.. Mil
verton went to Kona to try a case
which was expected to last about
three weeks. His obligation to his
clients made it necessary for him to
stay as long as the trial lasted, but
he didn't stay longer than about a
third of the time he was entitled to as

nothing irregular had been discovered,
the note was duly handed to the man
eventually, but the precaution was
taken to inform the hack drive to
take a circuitous route around town.
This he accordingly did, and after
driving around for some time through
all sorts of streets, he finally drove
to the postoffice.
The note contained the information
that the dope would be sent ashore at
the first opportunity, and told the
man how it would be done. The
searchers, however, had an early
start, and in order that there would
be no mistake extra men were put on

successful, but evidently they began
to crowd the owners of some of the

swill bucket. The package contain

through the paper when the men fish
ed it out, The other five were found
in a canister of tea. Some very fine
tea was in this tin, and the tins of
opium were buried under it.
There were some other tins found

makes it more difficult to secure sub
