Collecting Evidence.

Deputy Sheriff, Fernandez, of Eva,
was called for, but neither he nor his
officers could be found and word was
sentlnpi to Honolulu for Kellett KEEL
lett sWsut down Mt once with as many
men q, be could spare and after work

gathering all the material possible be.
fore it gott cold, - brought the pris.
oner back to Honolulu for safe keeping.
Gortez responded freely to Kellett, .
questioning, stating that at eight
o. clock he had commenced to sharpen
the file with which he. intended to com.
NIT, the murder and as soon as this was
done ARd.ec0inmeneed to look for the
woman. Kellett took him in the auto
to the place where he had prepared for
the tragedy and secured both the file
with which the stabbing was done and
the one used to sharpen it.
His selection of file for the act
was typical of Filipino crime in gen
eral for in nearly every similar case
which the police here or on any Other
island have had to deal with, an identi
cal instrument has figured. It is taken
now as the sure sign of the completely
of Filipino wherever found.
On the way to the house in the auto
he laughed nearly all the time, disgust
ing even the hardened officers by whom
he was accompanied. When he was
told that the woman was dead he com
menced to cry and asked to see hel
body. Such was his insistence that he
was taken to the house, where hi
kissed the corpse and had to be finally
pulled away.
Cortez threatened the woman Thurs
day night and the matter was reported
to the police, who drove him out of the
camp. He apparently returned to com
init the act which bids fair to send hin
to the gallows.

Jealous because his Hawaiian mis-.

he's place had been usurped by another

sweeping the steps Of her home at Wal

which she died q few moments after
the asaault The crime was one Of tho
most brutal in its nature which tho
local police have had to do with 80 far
this year.
There is every evidence Of premedi-
tation and Acting. Chief Kellett has
gathered enough testimony, he be-
lieves, TO send the man to the gallows,
providing that it is correct. As the
stabbing was committed before eye
witnesses, and as Cortez himself is
sad by the ,police to admit his guilt,
it will probably go had with him.
According to Cortez, he had been liv.
ing with her up to about two weeks
ago and in his own words, he was
Jealous of her because she would no
longer accept his attentions. The
woman had n little girl two years of
age and was about to become mother
for the second time.

This morning. the time that the board

for the opening Of the cooperative
campaign against the Mediterranean
fruit.hy, in which all citizens Of Homo.
lulu are earnestly requested 70 join.
President Taft Will not touch a but

will be no ceremonies OF Observance to
mark the occasion, for the campaign
is starting under difficulties and there
is no time for anything except work.
"We haven t any money TO start

"And 30 we have TO use the machinery
that is already going The board OF
health and garbage department have
taken the matter up very enthusiastic,
ally and we have hopes of encouraging
results.
As decided at the board of health
meeting last week, the inspectors win
see to it that the fruit falling from
trees is at once picked up and placed
where the garbage department can get
at it. As fevery fruit which has been
attacked by the fly drops from the tree,
the theory is that most of the maggots
will be destroyed before they can reach
maturity.

Finds His victim.

She was at the house of Peter Keola,
with whom she appears to have been
living, and was sweeping the steps
when she was found by Cortez, who,
he says, had been looking for her for
some time. She was STOPPING over and
did not see him approach and standing
with one foot on tho step he drove a
file-dagger three times into her back,
running away as the woman screamed
with terror.
She ran into the house, falling on
the bed, but rising again and running
into the living room where she tainted.
She never recovered consc BUSINESS,
diving few minutes afterwards.
Whether or not the wounds in them
selves were fatal, is not yet known, the
examining physician stating that she
died from shock rather than from
hemorrhage.
Aceording to the police there were
several who saw the entire tragedy
from the start and the alarm was
quickly raised. Cortez was chased and
captured by the younger Spillner. the

Testifies in

Trust.
SCORES HAvEMEYERS
Advocates a Removal Of
All Sugar Duties---
Benefits?

NEW YORK, July sS.--The assault
on the present sugar schedule of the
tariff was continued yesterday before
the Democratic investigating commit
tee of congress and Claus Spreekels
was the principal witness and advocate
of the entire removal Of the present
sugar tariff.
Mr.. Spreckels in his testimony be-
fore the committee entered into a de-
tailed account of the buying of raw
sugars by the alleged sugar trust, hold
ing up the treatment accorded the Ha-
waiian Planters Association as the
victim, in the course of his remarks.
Hawaiian Standard.
He stated that the Havemeyer
sugar interests have prevented the buy
ing of sugar from the Hawaiian asso-
citation on the basis of the open mar
ket prices and that the removal Of the
tariff on sugar would moderuize
methods in this respect and bring them
to the Hawaiian standard.
Mr.. Spreekels also dwelt at length
upon the advantage to other business
interests in reducing the price of sugar,
and asserted that with removal of
the tariff ON sugar the American
manufacturers of jam and jelly would
stand a good chance to capture the
English markets for these products.
He also stated that it would greatly
stimulate the chocolate industry.

Judge OOoper's Story.

Perhaps the story of the cruise. is
best told in the words OIL Judge Cooper
as he related it to The Advertiser yes
terdhy afternoon.
owe left Honolulu on Wednesday
and for forty-five miles out we had fine
weather, Then there fell calm with
heavy swell from the southeast.
"The ship was made snug with all
her canvas taken of, and from seven
Q clock Wednesday evening until eleven
Friday morning we lay hove to.
Friday morning a light breeze from
the north-northehst sprung up and we
had q good day, logging along at a
good rate.
Saturday the wind freshened and
the sea became heavier but we went
|. on, averaging nine knots eli day. Dur.
ing the might the barometer began to
fall and by two clock Sunday after
noon 1t had gone down 22 points and
stood at 1880, reading which was by
no means encouraging.
'tThe conditions grew worse as we
proceeded, and we were reefed close
down, but as the wind and sea grew
steadily worse we decided to come
about on the starboard tack between
five and six O'Clock on Sunday evening
and wait for conditions to grow better,
laying course north by west.

Start Back Again.

" At the time we came about we
were 1915 miles from Honolulu, and we
thought that in short time the wealth
er would grow better and we would
start forward toward the south again.
"There was no change for the bet
ter and we kept working back toward
Hawaii, and when we reached a point
100 miles south Of Kauai we decided to
come back to Honolulu, overhaul the
schooner and then start ont again.
"Halyards had been taken away and
sails had been slit by the force Of the
wind, and under those conditions we
believed that the best thing to do was
to come back here and have everything
ship-shape before starting out again on
the long cruise.
Wednesday afternoon we sighted Ka.
uai but could not get in before night,
so we beat out to sea again and finally
reached Waimea Friday morning.
During the time we were beating
off Kauai we encountered heavy north
east trades and heavy sea.
ARRIVED ut Waimea we found the
Khan there. and I decided to come
on by her and leave Captain Miller to
bring in the Ka Moi. He should ar.
rive Tuesday afternoon or Wednesday,

Make Trip in Week.

Judge Cooper says that they expect
ed to reach Palmyra in week Is sailing
from Honolulu and would have done
SO Mt the rate they were going.
Palmyra lies 1000 miles from Homo
lulu, about south by west, and although
the Gains cut down the average distance
made by the schooner the day that 1876
miles was made, and others when they
logged steadily all day, would have put
them into their destination in the time
specified.
Although Judge Cooper expects to
start back with the Ka Moi, there is
a question about the matter, for he has
only six weeks leave and two Of them
will be gone by the time the Ka Moi
reaches port here.
To overhsul Here.
If the overhauling can be done In a
few days, he win probably start out
with Captain Miller again, and they
expect to reach Palmyra, Christmas and
Tanning islands without miahap.

Fruit NOr Pigs.

They are being instructed to cook
the fruit beforehand as an extra pre-.
caution for the destruction Of the mag.
gots, and, as Doctor Wilcox explains, II
is better for the hogs as we'll. The
Agricultural department fears that II
the fruit is'n0t cooked that a number
of the worms will manage to get to
earth, in which case the good efforts
are again wasted. Rather than have
this happen the leaders in the fight
would rather have the fruit 90 on the
garbage dump.
The fly has taken the strawberry
guava for its own and there is not much
of the fruit that can be found that is
not full of worms, and consequently
useless in every way. AS yet the pest
has not tackled the wild guava which
is encouraging, as once there, the task
of Graduating it will be increased ter
fold. 1t is believed, however, that the
guavas in the hills are picked fast
enough by the Hawaiians and Others to
prevent this.
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1911-07-25
Orders Once Issued.

The garbage department has received
its orders and commencing with today
there will be an extra man on the dump
ing ground at the foot of Sheridan
street, where the fruit will be deposited
to see that it is all properly destroyed.
The escape Of one maggot means that
the labor necessary to destroy two hun
bred and fifty of them has been wasted,
for the fly lays just about that many
eggs.
"There are enough boxes, paper and
such things piled up there on the
dump, said Doctor Wilcox, "to do all
the work. The worms don't have to
be burned as the heat win kill them,
even although it is not up to boiling
point, and as long as the fruit is fairly
well cooked, there will be no danger of
the maggots escaping.
Following out the plan of utilizing
every possible existing means of doing
away with this fallen fruit, in the lack
of money to start an independent cam.
paign, the Japanese pig raisers are
being brought into line and are being
jndaced to dispose of large quantities.
