YELLOW FEVER

Manager Goodale of the Waialua

sugar cane and mosquitoes, bananas
and the like, was on the stand this
morning in the trial of the banana

Mills, and he testified that he had re-

The sanitation campaign had
drained the swamps, but had left the
vegetation, and there was hardly any
yellow fever left in the district, and
the numbers of the mosquitoes could
be counted on the fingers of an ordi-
nary man.
Goo1ale was never bitten, not even
by a lady mosquito, nor was he ever

THAT M'MAHON
INTENDED TO KILL HIS
WIFE To Be PRODUCED

Sergeant John Mcmahon is not only
the slayer of Alexander N. Cederlof,
but prior to that event also intended
to kill his own wife, according to the
contention of the prosecution, United
States District Attorney Breckons
making a statement virtually to that
effect in his opening address to the
jury this morning.
1t is evident, from the drift of ques-
tions asked on cross-eXamination this
morning by the attorneys ror the de-
fense that the defense will try to
prove self-defense as McMahon's rea-
son for killing Cederlof. However,
they have not yet admitted that the
homicide was committed by Mcmahon.
That is left to the prosecution to
prove.
The introduction of testimony was
begun at ten o'clock this morning,
three witnesses being examined. Their
testimony was in no way sensational,
being merely to prove that Cederlof
came to death by gunshot wounds.
Nothing has yet been said to connecr
the defendant directly with the shoot
ing The witnesses examined were
two doctors who performed the au.
topsy on the body of Cederlof, and Il
soldier who visited the scene of the
shooting few minutes after it oc'

but Breckons stated that he would re.

testifying as to statements made to
him by Sergeant McMHhon.

look Such is hut natural in view OF
the fact that he is on trial for his

He gave birth to a classic, which even
the witnesses could understand, when
he said: Il was in Panama and saw
the bananas growing galoriously, nor
did they have umbrellas over their
heads to keep off the rain, nor did
they have single strip of mosquito
netting to hide their nakedness!"
Now, it must be remembered that
this is what Harry T. Mills, attorney
and acknowledged wit, said that Good
ale said.
If Goodale didn't use the exact
words, then Mills improved on them,
although Goodale is witty enough to
have said the same thing if he wanted
to.

BAD BLOOD BETWEEN SOLDIERS
AND RIVER STREET DIVE KEEPERS

A well known Fort Ruger man said
this morning that there is consider
able bad feeling in the lower quarters
of Honolulu against the soldiers.
"Of course, there are a lot of no
account soldiers" said he, among a
great many good ones. The former,
by their actions, made bad friends
with natives, Porto Ricans and others,
chiefly over woman matters. 1t won't
be very long, in my opinion, before a
lot of soldiers pay visit to the River
street neighborhood and clean certain
places out in return for treatment ac

Editor Star: / wish to put the fol-
lowing facts clearly before the people
OF Honolulu through the medium of
your valuable columns.
This morning, before seven o'clock,
a crew of banana cutters, headed by a
soldier entered my grounds without
notice and without permission, and
cut down all, my banana trees, or, to
be more exact, all that were left
standing by the last crew that visited
the place. over fifty-fve trees were
cut down, and forty-four of them were
growing more than two hundred feet
away from any dwelling. These ba-
nanas were SO far from my house that
] could not see what was going on.
and when l learned what was being
done it was too late, as the bananas
were all down.
Let me say that I have no quarrel
with the mosquito crusade. The prin-
ciple of the campaign against mos
quitoes is right enough. The means
for carrying this principle into execu-
ton have been sufficiently discussed
in the papers, and the rule that all
bananas within $50 feet of a dwelling
must come down may or may not be
reasonable. 1t works no particular
hardship upon me, as my place is
large enough to permit bananas to
grow outside the prohibited area.
