ONE MURDER, TWO SUICIDES,
AND A FATAL ACCIDENT,
IN TNEN7Y-FOUR HOURS

A wave of crime, suicide and acci-
dent has swept Oahu during the past
twenty-four hours, a murder, two sui
cides and a probably fatal accident
having been recorded
Yesterday afternoon Japanese la
borer murdered a countrywoman in a
canefield near Waialua.
From telephone reports it appears
that the murderer quit his work in
the morning and went in search of a
former mistress who was employed by
the plantation and who was working
in the fields.
He found her eating lunch with an
other woman and attacked her with
out saying a word, stabbing her with
a long-bladed knife. Her companion
ran away screaming, and spread the
news of the deed
A posse was organized but no trace
of the murderer could be found.
Murderer Hanged Himself.
Deputy Sheriff Oscar Cox telephoIt-
ed Sheriff Jarrett this morning that
the body of the japanese murderer
had been found this morning hanging
from tree near the scene of the
tragedy. The culprit had committed
suicide
Sheriff Jarrett will proceed to Wal
alua this afternoon to conduct an in.
vestigation of the affair.

KEWALO LOTS
ALL INSPECTED

Yesterday afternoon the Board of
Health officials completed the task of
condemning the Kewalo lots, and all
that remains now is to ascertain the
names of the various owners, and to
notify them that the work OF filling in
the low-lying lands must start at once.
The Attorney General has the num-
bers of the lots condemned and he
will find out from the tax office and
other sources, the names of the prop.
erty owners.
Portions of the big Bishop and Ward
estates will have to be filled in, and
there are many other lots to be work
ed on. The Superintendent of Public
Works said this morning that he was
waiting for word from the health
board, AS soon as he is notified that
any owner has neglected to fill in his
lot, the Superintendent will let con
tracts to do the necessary work. The
owners will have, in the long rum to
pay for the filling in
The numbers of the lots that were
condemned yesterday are as follows:
139, 1873, 1877 1856, 1876, 1884, 133 1872, 81,
81, So, Sc, 81, 92, "a, 95, 90, III, 113,
ia, 115.
The lots are ali marked on the maps
and the Attorney General finds out the

and living at 1919 Aloha lane, shot
himself yesterday in an clubhouse near
his home, a revolver being the weapon
used.
No one seems to have heard the re-
port of the gun and the act was only
discovered when the daughter of the
deceased returned from work in the
afternoon. Mrs, Smith and an elder
son were at work when the shooting
took place, having left the house early
in the morning.
Deceased left a note in the house
stating that the cause of the deed
would be found in another place,
though just what was meant by that
is uncertain.
Smith was a bookkeeper by profes-
sion and also did some collecting.
His suicide is attributed to despond-
ency, for he has been in Indifferent
health for long time past and has
been unable latterly to find regular
employment.
He leaves two sons, a daughter and
a widow. He had made his home in
Honolulu for the past twenty-five

This morning one of our boys came

Evidently mosquitoes are adapting
themselves to the new conditions and

bananas as breeding places, they nave

There were $4,000 crackers to explode,

1t was the raising Of the republican

KITCHENS IN oLDEM TIMES
Size of Culinary Department Was
More Important Than Its Fur
nishings Long Ago.

In olden days the size of the kitchen
seems to have been of more import
ance than it's fitments in detail. At
Hurstmonceux, for instance, there was
a kitchen 28 feet high, with three
huge fireplaces, and a bakehouse with
an oven ID feet in diameter; then
there Is an old Welsh kitchen at
Penrhyn Old Hall. near Llandudno,
dating from the Fifteenth Century,
which has many primitive culinary
contrivances, now obsolete or super
seded by more modern devices; a
meatjack with a fywheel. steel
toasting stand, and fan bellows. A
wonderful old kitchen Is at Battle
Abbey. and that at St. Mary's Hall,
Coventry, is remarkable for the IA
nous "knave's post to which posi-
bly, recalcitront scullioDs were tenn
porarily attached. There is a medieval
kitchen in Westminster Abbey, al
though nowadays little remains
whereby to identify 1t save the rubble
flooring. the buttery hatch and an ad-
Joining cellar-now or lately the din

PERPETUAL MOTION" DYIhG

His Time Has PAseoA.

Quently. and seldom is there a reply
There was time when 4 glib-tongued
man with a perpetual motion idea
could get respectful hearing In scien-
uic and financial circles, and, If he
were plausible enough, obtain anan-
cial backing. Keeley. the motor man.
lived In afluencs for years on q per-
petual motion idea attractively pre-
sented to men and women who had
both money and an overstock of cred
ulity. Nowadays. however, the man
with the perpetual motion idea is at
discount. and little is heard of him.
Many persons who have studied the
efforts of shrewd msa to get into the
pockets Of the rich by using perpetual
motion schemes As the golden key
wonder that Keeley should have met
with such success at such a late day,
As early as 17Y5 the Partisan Acad.
emy OF Sciences refused to receive
any further schemes for perpetual mo.
ton. regarding 1t as an insposslbility
1t was admitted then that there had
been time when the perpetual mo
ton problem was worthy the attention

seniua. just as there was q uus whom

earth was round or aat
