The Wireless MESSAGES.


Here are the wireless messages
that passed between Captain Faria
on the steamer Santa Rosa as it lay
on the beach off Point Arguello and
the officials of the Pacific Coast
Steamship Company in San Fran
cisco. The Santa Rosa went on the
beach shortly before 8 o'clock. From
the time the captain of a vessel
leaves the dock until he has moored
his vessel again he is supposed to be
in supreme command, and to accept
no orders from his company or any
one else. The coming trial may de-
eide whether the messages from the
company were orders. or "sugges-
tions" and whether they had any
thing to do with Captain Faria's &C.
ton in keeping the passengers on
the steamer for fourteen hours after
it struck.
1896 a. INTO Captain Faria from
G. H. Higbee: Have arranged with
steamer Argyle to render you assist
ance. SURVEYS suggest Argyle to
drop both bow and anchors as far out
as possible, dropping back to Santa
Rosa, and pass towing hawser, after
which should be put on a strain,
using winch to haul on anchor.
Argyle has necessary towing line. No
attempt should be made until ap-
preaching high water, but everything
should be in readiness by that time.

Higbee: If passengers can be safely
transferred to suitable vessel arrange
with such vessel to take them to Port
San Luis, telegraphing us. We will

RICHMOND, Va, July 30.-An Of
Ger to save the life of Henry Clay
Beattie, accused of numbering his
wife because he loved Beulah Binford,
a beautiful hayward child, has come
from an entire stranger, who offers
his own life-"useless and nearly
gone" he calls tin exchange.
A more startling, more tragic prop
osition than the one this unnamed
stranger has made has never, perhaps,
been recorded outside of fiction.
The man who wants to be the vic
tim of the executioner is not a mad
man, not a crank, not even a loving
friend of the youth who is in Jail here
awaiting trial for what is pronounced
one of the most amazing crimes this
country ever knew So far as he can
recall, he has never even spoken a
word to Henry Clay Beattie.
Yet his motive is tinged with a
high nobility, almost unbelievable
spirit of self-sacrifice.
Mythical Highwayman.
The story is this: When young
Beattie raced up in his automobile to
the home of his wifes uncle, with the
young wife beside him shot dead and
his arm about her, stained with her
blood, he said that highwayman had
held him up and, in firing at him, had
shot the girl. A tall man, he de-
scribed him, with a stubby beard. He
killed her-he got away-look for
him."
At first the story was believed.
Search was made for the tall man, but
no tracks were found and no trace of
him could be got.
A man two days ago sought a per-
son who is extremely interested in the
welfare of the accused slayer. With
strange vehemence he exclaimed;
Barriers Life for Money.
Look at me! Look at me closely!

beard. I'm exactly like the man he

Sheridan to Dry Dock.


This is the last journey of the U. s.
A. T. Sheridan to Manila, Philippine
Islands, before it will go into dry dock
at San Francisco for a cleaning and
overhauling.
The Sheridan has been keLt con-
stantly on the run" of the Pacific
from the Coast to the Oriental coast
since she received repairs necessary
after the accident of running too near
some coral reefs not far from this
port few years ago. It has been evil
dent during the last several trips that
docking was needed.
On a Hike.
The Kahauiki reservation is enter
tanning Troop L, Fifth Cavalry, from
the Leilehua reservation. This troop

from their regular station and have
dropped in" and pitched their tents
on the camping ground that was the
site of Camp Frear during the camp
of instruction for the National Guard
OF Hawaii. Lieutenant John Millikin,
Fifth Cavalry, and his TrooE l. Will
stand their ground at Fort Shafter
until Sunday, when the homeward
bound march will be taken up to their
post of duty at Schofield Barracks.
May Go to Volcano.
1t is being planned to take compa-
mics E and F, Twentieth Infantry, OF
Fort Shafter, to Hawaii Island and TO
the volcano on trip shortly
1t is suggested that pleasure and
military duties can be pleasantly COM
bined in such a journey-it is too wet

Celery of Company E, Captain Will
lam H. H. Chapman and Lieutenant
Philip G. Wrightson of Company f,

mittee on ways and means, and they
hope by fare of SO per man to secure
a ship so this half Of the battalion can
have the satisfaction of seeing the ac-
tive volcano of Kilauea.
The trip should be made by all
means, and later G and H companies
should follow suit in a similar journey

ARMY AND NAVY

-mers G. Hall is troop commander of H
troop. This aggregation of the Fifth
Horse is unique in the regiment on &C
count of being one of the few troops
lieutenants all at enc time. This reg
iment, with others of the service, has
not surplus of officers on duty just
now. Many are doing an assignment
as officer students at course of in
struction at the army schools, others
are on leaves of absence Troop HIS
first lieutenant is Lieutenant Rawson
Warren and Second Lieutenant Sloan
Doak. Troop l. is entirely in the
hands of Lieutenant John Millikin,
Fifth Cavalry.
Bakers and switchboard operators
will not accompany their troop on
days of full strength or four days
practice march, is an order Lromulgat-
ed at the Leilehua reservation.
Another rule is observed in the reg
iment of the Fifth Cavalry to the eff
feet that when troop is to be absent
from the post beyond u o'clock noon,
the troop commander will notify the
regimental adjutant the day before as
to what men, detailed on extra or spe-
cial duty, will be absent from theiT
duties, so that men may be detailed
from trooLs remaining in the post to
replace them.
When troops Of the Fifth Cavalry
are on a practice march they will not
be camped or halted in the valleys or
on watersheds above, or in the vicin-
ity of the source of the post water
supply.
Four days is the limit for practice
marches in the Fifth Cavalry for Au-
gust.

HILO CITIZENS IN AGREEMENT
REGARDING THE WHARF PLANS

fill between the town and the present
railroad wharf, about where the Kill
auea stables are located. This was,
however, before the breakwater was
located.
Wants Big Wharf.
Mr.. Scott stated that the present To-
cation appeared to him to be better
than that at first suggested, but that
he did not think the structure long
enough, and that if possible a wharf
should be constructed that vessels
might come along both sides of. He
stated that very often there was an
American-Hawaiian and a Matson YES
sci in port at the same time and IL
would crowd things.
Marston Campbell stated that there
was not enough money for such
structure and that it was proposed to
ask for more from the next legisla-
ture, then asking Mr.. Thurston to ex-
plain the reason that the wharf could
not be placed as suggested by Mr..
Scott. Mr.. Thurston went into the de-
tails of the boring made by Engineer
Rowell, and also those of the plans
suggested by George Dennison, CAP
tain Matson, Supt Filler, Marston
Campbell, Captain Johnson and the A..
II, company. He stated that a double
decked wharf to carry sugar on the
second floor had been decided upon,
but had to be given up as the board
of underwriters insisted under such
conditions in raising the insurance
rates on the sugar. He also stated
that with the breakwater in its pres
ent condition Kuhio Bay was protect
ed, and that Captain Johnson had told
him that he was willing to take the
Wilhelmina in there. He mentioned
the fact that the two shoals at the
entrance should be removed, but ex-
pressed the belief that this would be
done under congressional apIropria.

well satisfied with the plans as pro-
posed and also spoke of the need of a

OFFERED TO PLEAD GUILTY AND
TAKE MURDERER'S SENTENCE TO
GET $4,000 FOR HIS FAMILY

The friend of Beattie thought his
visitor might be mentally unbalanced
But the man laughed quite sanely and
said:
mo, l am not that, sir. 1 have a
motive in declaring myself like this
highwayman who could not be found
l ask you quite calmly if the Beattie
family would give $4,000 to see young
Beattie cleared of this charge and set
free?"
Still in doubt, the man interested
in the young prisoner said that surely
the family would give $4,000.
Would Confess Crime.
"Then listen," demanded the
stranger. 81 want $5OOO-not for my
self-for my f'Enily. For that sum l
will step forward at any hour you
name and confess myself the slayer
Of Louise Owen Beattie. l will do it
within an hour after the money is
placed in my hands. 1 am a con-
sumptive. 1 have less than a year to
live. l don't care about that. I'm bet
ter off dead. But 1 have a wife and
children.
"Give me $4,000 so that they may be
made comfortable for at least a time
and young Beattie may go free with
his name cleared and his fathers for
tune to inherit.
1--WE thought of suicide many times.
A quick death is better than a slow
one.
I'D far rather choose the execu-
toner than the slow, agonizing finish
that is inevitable for me-"
Urges Weird Proposal.
For half an hour the stranger
pleaded eloquently for his weird pro-
posal, announcing his love for his fam
lily, his own Indifference of death, his
great chance of freeing the strong,
healthy young man, to whom health
and prosperity might be granted.
But he was told that such a sacri-
flee as his could not be accepted.

HILO, August 11.-An attitude of
unanimous approval of the plans pro-
posed for the Hilo wharf, of the loca-
ton as outlined, and an agreement
to work together for the building OF
a wide roadway to the approach to
the structure, was the position taken
last night by the citizens of Hilo at
the public meeting of the Territorial
Wharf Commission held in the circuit
court room. The only matters dis
cussed to any great degree followed
out the lines Of hoLe that every in
terest of the public would be safe
guarded, and with an assurance to this
effect from the members of the com
mission, the people of Hilo seemed
very we'll satisfied.
Will Build ROAD.
The main question asked by the
commissioners was whether Hilo
would see to it that, should the new
wharf be constructed, means of ac-
cess should be given the public
through the construction of a new
road which would handle the traffic.
This was answered by a motion made
by Mr.. Thurston and seconded by Mr.
Kennedy, to the effect that it was the
sense of the meeting that If the wharf
should build the approach
as far as the actual shore line all the
persons present should use their best
endeavors to see that a proper road
was built to such approach. When
this motion carried unanimously the
members of the commission applaud
ed, having received the information
which they had desired and hoped for.
According to the plans which were
the new wharf will have al
most the same direction as the pres
ent railroad wharf, but will be located
parallel to the shore at Kuhio Bay
and nearly at right angles to the
breakwater. The inner side viii be in
shallow water, and at future date
will probably be filled in. 1t will be
1000 feet in length, of which the in
uer 800 feet will be dedged, me ma.

Postal Thieves Reported Plentiful

more money than his salary will n

It Ii wonderful that there are a.
few thieves among the many thou
sands Of clerks who handle the mails.
for great temptations surround them
% they handle millions Of YAlnahle
parcels. These clerks soon lsaxns
tell by the very touch Of
whether It. contains monsy
81 IN easy matter for To 1hoHS i
clerk to slip letters into Ills pU6kse
and open them In some private place.
But the cases Of dishonesty are COM
paratively few.
y There are but two successful ways
to catch q postoffice thief and these
are by constant watch and by decoy
letters. With these, and a large sup.
ply Of patience the game will be
caught. 1t often requires months and
sometimes years to accomplish this.
It is one Of the most annoying and
diflcult lines Of detective work man
ever engaged in and requires the most
earnest labor Not q single thing
must be overlooked.
But few arrests have been made In
washington where there - ? powerful
army Of postonice employees. They
seldom 60 wrong. yet inspectors are
no more numerous there than In other
cities.
