MAY ABANDON
LEILEHUA POST
RUMoR THAT TROOPS WILL BE
CONCENTRATED IN
THE CITY.
(From Wednesday s Advertiger.) J

(From Wednesdays IS Advertiser)
a rumor reached Honolulu from
Washington yesterday that the war de-
partment may eventually abandon
Schofield Barracks, Leilehua, as bril-
gade post and transfer the blilding
operations to Fort Shafter, using the
appropriations passed by congress for
construction work at Leilehua to SINH
Tar works at Shafter.
The same information sets forth
that the war department has it's eye on
Punchbowl again as site for garri-
son and that the crater may be used
for the establishment of an army post.
An adequate water supply can be
secured for the post and in some
quarters it is believed that with devel-
opment Punchbowl would make an
ideal garrison post.
The reason for these changes is
stated to be desire on the part of the
army officials to concentrate posts
rather than to establish more, mas
much as concentration reduces the ire
mendous cost of administration and up
keep, as each post needs separate ac-
counting, separate stOrehouses and
such. General Wood, according to in
formation derived from the district
headquarters, is a strong advocate of
concentration of garrisons, and that is
one reason why mainland posts ara
being abandoned, where possible.
1t is stated that one reason why the
war department may abandon Leilehua
in part is because the post is found to
be too far from Honolulu and that it
is unnecessary to have post just at
that place, although 1t makes an ideal
site for cavalry post. Transportation
to and from the post runs up big
bill and this has become a reason for
bringing all garrisons closer to the
city.
1t is known that the war department
wishes to place enough infantry here
| to support the big gun batteries along
the coast and that two regiments of
infantry are needed for each battery.
The closer these infantry regiments are
to the batteries the more advantageous
it will be to all branches of the service
Inquiry at district headquarters as
| to whether the rumor had reached
there, or whether there was any infor
nation on the subject, elected the
answer that it was news to the Off
GERS, although it was stated by some
that they wonld not be surprised il
such action were taken.
When Captain Edwards, construct
| ing quartermaster, was ordered here t.
construct the new buildings for Fort
Ruger, he expected to erect then
under the new plans for concrete build
ings, but few days ago he received
orders to construct on an entirely diff
II ferent plan. The buildings are not tt
be entirely of reinforced concrete, buf
will have concrete bases and plastic
and other material for walls.

BAWLED OUT HERE;
PULLED ON COAST

When the Sierra left on her last trip
for the Coast she carried away a man
known here as Doctor Waters, whom
man on the dock loudly denounced to
the officers of the ship as sharper, a
thief and bunco man. He shouted to
the officers that he had stolen diamonds
from a woman in Oakland and that he
was leaving her in Honolulu, stranded.
He reported the matter to the police
and the San Francisco and Oakland
police were notified that he was on the
way back to the Coast. He was ar
rested there as the following dispatches
from San Francisco indicate:
SAN FRANCISCO, April 4.--Acting
upon advices from Reno, Nevada, de-
tectives arrested DR.. A. M. Waters of
that city yesterday upon charge of
obtaining money under false pretenses.
Doctor Waters was taken into custody
at the Palace Hotel, where he had reg
istered under the name of DR.. A. M.
Walker.
The order for the physician s arrest
came from g. 7. Ferrel, sheriff at Reno.
At the police station, Waters said
that he had come west from Detroit,
where he practised medicine In Reno
he became acquainted with other physi-
clans and sold them stock in three Mi
chigan mining companies: The Wolse-
Reese, the Big -Four, and the obert.
Waters declared that he had received
orders for the purchase of the stock and
sent the money to J. Cummings, a
broker in Bay City, Michigan.
While at the Palace Hotel, Waters
was approached by George B. Knight
of Reno, who demanded the return OF
$50 placed with the physician. The two
went to the Office of Attorney Chap
man in the Balboa building, where
Waters is said to have given Knight
$40, promising the remainder at some
| future date.

MURDERER HANGS
HIMSELF IN CELL
(From Wednesdays Advertiser }

(From Wednesdays Advertiser.)
Fooling his jailors with blanket
dummy, Tenjiro Kobayashi, the midget
japanese who killed countryman at
Pearl City several weeks ago, hung
himself yesterday morning in the
county jail on the eve of his trial for
murder in the first degree.
Kobayashi must have committed the
deed late Monday night, although it
was not discovered until six O'Clock
yesterday morning. AS he has not yet
been tried, he was not called at five
O'Clock with the prisoners working on
the gangs. To fool the turnkeys he
made dummy of himself, which he
carefully laid in the hammock, visible
from the door. He then took rope
from the hammock and hung it over
the hammock hook in the corner beside
the door, but not visible through the
peep hole.
After arranging the moose the man
placed his head in it and by lifting
his feet from the ground strangled
himself. His shortness made it posi-
BILE where taller man could have nc
means at all to take his own life in
the cell.
The police had little hope of con
victing him, as he had just been re
leased from the insane asylum and Q
defense of insanity was being prepared
for him by L. M. Straus.

FAILED TO KILL, SO
SAILS ON TRANSPORT

(From Wednesdays Advertiser.)
When the transport Sherman arrives
today from San Francisco she may carry
as a passenger for Manila Mrs. Jean
le Sage, wife of an officer of the Phil
ippine Scouts, who achieved consider
able notoriety in San Fracisco a week
ago by attempting to shoot w. L. Clark
in her apartments at the Hotel Exeter
According to the San Francisco
papers Mrs. lie Sage was married to the
scout officer few years ago and ac-
companied him to the Philippines. She
became i'll and was sent back to the
mainland. She recovered, and then came
cablegram from her husband asking
her to. return. She delayed and delayed
starting, and it was because of her
affection for Clark that she remained
in San Francisco. Clark is manager of
the hotel and she became infatuated
with him. Parents and friends begged
her to go to Manila but she refused
and finally her husband became disgust
ed and refused to send her any more
money. This compelled her to seek q
livelihood, but she quit soon. Clark
advised her to return to her husband,
and then she purchased revolver and
was foiled in her idea of killing Clark.
Friends expected to get her aboard
the transport Sherman. Whether they
succeeded will be known when the yes
sci reaches port this afternoon.
Her husband is lineal descendant of
"Lighthorse Harry Lee" of Revolu-
tionary War fame.

went on little vacation. He played
golf there and had a thoroughly enjoy
able time.
All signs point to quiet session of
congress as far as Hawaii is concerned.
There have been indications of late that
the Democrats might revise the sugar
schedule and that, if done at all, is con-
sideraibly in the future. The tariff
board has not begun an investigation
of the sugar duties yet and probably
will not for some time. 1t is claimed
that the investigation can be disposed
of pretty speedily, once it is under
taken.
