FELL
TWENTY FEET

John Fragas, a Portuguese youth,
known among his familiars as Mon
key" met with a nasty accident
shortly afternoon while working on
the new home for non-leprous boys,
now being erected at Kalihi
1t appears that Fragas was on
some scaffolding about twenty feet
from the ground and turned to reach
for some shingles. He lost his bal
ance and fell to the ground.
The police were notified and the
patrol wagon at once dispatched to
the scene.
Fragas was taken to Queens Hos
pital, where he was found on exam
ination to have sustained a broken
left wrist and internal injuries

AS soon as the news was published
in the Star that the Nuuanu water was
to be piped to the new Alewa reser-
voir and thence to Kalihi Valley, the
residents of the latter locality went
up in the air with indignation.
The Kalihi improvement Club took
up the matter and committee was
appointed to call upon Marston Camp
bell and register a kick about the Nuu-
anu water.
The Kalihi people claimed that they
had, in the past, always had pure,
sparkling artesian water. They pro
tested against any Nuuanu fluid COM
ing their way
The superintendent of bublic works
listened to the deputation and then
told the callers the true facts of the
case.

Canal Not So important
to Honolulu, Says Williamson

Sir Archibald Williamson, Mp of
the great shipping firms of Balfour,
Williamson & Co., Balfour, Guthrie &
Co., and Williamson, Guthrie & Co,
as they are known in various parts
of the world, was very active during
the few hours spent in Honolulu yes
terday during the stay of the Siberia.
1t is said that he very thoroughly
looked into shipping matters at this
port, investigating especially port
charges and facilities for giving quick
dispatch to vessels making Honolulu.
The firms in which Sir Archibald is
interested are said TO be the chart
erers of a larger number of vessels
than any other house or group of
houses. They now have the greatest
grain fleet on the Pacific. The Har'
rison line, to which the Crown of Cas-
tie and Crown of Galacia belong, is
controlled by these firms.

The Canadian-Australian agents
wired the -the-Pacific
Club, through T. A. Davies & Co.,
that Percy Hunter had sailed in the
Makura. Today the purser of the
Makura sends a wireless that Hunter
is not aboard.
Where is Percy Hunter?
Awaiting a reply to this conun-
drum, the banquet at the University
Club is postponed until Hunter does
arrive.
The last word from Hunter was
to the effect that if he caught the
Makura he would spend but a single
day in Honolulu, but that if he
missed the Makura he would go on
to San Francisco and sail from there,
spending two or three weeks in Ho-
nolulu. So that he may be here in
the China next Tuesday.
Word came from the Spokane
Chamber of Commerce yesterday that
Hunter was expected there in a

Will GRADE
DIARIES THE
NEW YORK WAY

This afternoon there will be a tour
of inspection by the sanitary commits
sion, that, among it's other functions,
is looking after the dairies of the city
and country! The party will consist
of c. r. Hemenway, Doctor Currie, j..
L.,Young and Professor A. R. Keller.
The dairies have all been already Wis
tied by Inspector Myhre, and he has
made notes on the way the places are
run.
The party this afternoon will visit
the Waikiki district and inspect the
dairies there. Members of the COM
mission will take notes on everything
in connection with the dairies, and
afterward compare notes.
Professor Keller was seen this morn

said that the New York system of

Editor Star: l received your mes
sage Of the 9th inst, in re cost of ma
cadam roads.
AS your message could be answered
by yes" or no" | replied no." and
this is in explanation of that answer
On Kauai the cost of macadamizing
does not include the cost of grading
Some parts of our roads require very
little or no regarding. Other parts,
especially where a change of location
is made, the cost is considerable. AS
an example, the Kalihiwai new grade
in Hanalei district is just mile long
and cost the county $4,000, or there
abouts, with no macadam. The cost of
a new grade depends entirely upon the
topography of the country through
which the grade passes and the ma
ture of material to be handled in max
ing the cuts and fills. Very respect
fully yours, J. II. MORGAN.

Speaking of the effect the opening
of the canal would have upon Homo
lulu, Mr.. Williamson said that it would
not be so beneficial to shipping inter
ests here as might be imagined from
a glance at the map, for the shortest
distance from Panama to the Orient is
not by way of Honolulu but by way
of San Francisco. He stated that the
difference in favor of San Francisco
is about -FOUR hundred miles. However,
he believes that Honolulu will share
in some measure the benefits to be
derived from the canal; that every
thing points to a continuing increase
in the number of ships calling here
and that harbor dock facilities should
be increased conservatively
AS to the matter of his steamers
engaging in the transportation of i'm
migrants from Spain and Portugal, SiI
Archibald expressed no opinion, as he
was not familiar with the matter.

Percy Hunter Missing;
The Banquet Postponed

Hands-Around-Mission, but the club
here relied on the assurance from
Davies & Co. that he was aboard the
Makura, and went ahead with the
banquet.
Some two hundred people in Homo
lulu, from every part of the Pacific,
were to have sat down with Hunter
tonight to listen to the story of his
accomplishments in furthering on the
mainland the object of the Hands
acknowledgements.
The main object of the Hands
Around are to secure the cooperation
of the Pacific government in the plan
to establish point tourist bureaus in
New York and San Francisco, to
keep going through the United
States a Panpacific exhibition train
and to establish regular round the
Pacific cruise.
When Hunter does reach Honolulu
the Hands-Around will encircle him
and the festivities will begin.

Kaiihi Residents Object to

"At present artesian water is

will go to all the same places as at
present. The Nuuanu water will only
go to heights that at present cannot

no way will the present system, as re-

"There are places, high up in Ka-

for sanitary purposes. Washing can
not even be done. This will be rem

reservoir, and the lower levels will
continue to get artesian water"

Letters were received from Special

though no new intelligence of import
ance was conveyed in the communica-
tions, Campbell spoke of the good

At the time of writing, the special

FlV Ordinance A Success In
Atlanta.

Atlanta, July 15.-No statistics
can tell nor can any figures give an
idea of the decrease in flies in At
lanta since the rigid screen ordl-
nance has been put into effect.
Atlanta has been literally de-
livered from the usual summer
plague of flies, and the method
which has proven so splendldly
effective, should be of interest to
every other town and city that has
not already adopted something sim
liar.
Last year and for many years
previous all fruit, vegetables, meat,
and other fy-drawing produce and
merchandise lay entirely exposed
so far as any law to the contrary
was concerned, and every butcher
shop, and every green-grocery store,
made neighborhood center for the
swarming of innumerable flies.
Every meat or fruit wagon carried
them in sWarms.
Than city council passed an ordi-
nance forcing all the dealers to
screen everything, not only to have
screens on their doors and windows,
but to put screens over the fruit
exposed outside for sale, to put
screens over the wagons, screen
the meat not only hanging in the
store, but the meat in the transit,
and the meat hanging on hooks
outside the doors. The ordinance
has been generally complied with.
and the flies seem to have left
Atlanta.
Of course there are still a few, as
there will always be, but only a
fraction of what the city suffered
last year.

No Intentions OF Resisnins

Atlanta, July 15.-There is no IN
dication that Governor Hoke Smith
will take the slightest notice OF
Editor Stovall's editorial and Editor
Thomas E. Watsons editorial de-
handing that he resign the govern
or's chair at once and take up MS
duties as United States Senator.
Governor Smith stands on the
fact that the United States senate
itself still regards Terrell as the
Junior senator from Georgia and
that every day Terrells name is
being called, and Terrell is being
marked absent" and that Hoke
Smiths name will not be called
until Hoke Smiths credentials are
presented.
Governor Smith further stands, it
is said, on the precedents which
have been heretofore freely quoted
in the press, making it possible for
him to continue as governor under
the circumstances.
That Hoke Smith will resign as
gGVernor before the end Of the
present session of the general as
sembly, seems altogether out of the
question, Judging by his attitude,
and he hasn't said anything yet
that would give rise to the idea that
he has abandoned his originally
stated intention of not resigning
until the late fall.

Atlanta, July 15.-Aroused to
