OBITUARY.
ARE.

The funeral of Nahum NJ. Hodgkins
was held at his home, Oct. II, Rev. P, A.
A. Killam officiating. Mr.. Hodgkins' age
was ninety-two years, six months and nine
teen days. He died Tuesday, Oct. Is, on the
same farm where he was born. In 1871, he
married Miss Dilemma Whitaker, OF La
moline; she died little over year ago.
Eight children were born to them, of
whom seven are living-Mrs. Edna Smith,
o. Pasadena, CAL; Mrs. Julia Mansfield,
of Natick, Mass; Mrs. Augusta Estey, of
New York; Mrs. Agnes Stanley, of Wal
than, Mass; Alvah, of Canton, o.; Frank,
of Bangor, and Howard, OF Hancock.
Mr.. Hodgkins cared for his parents, who
lived to an old age. His father, Philip, lived
to be nearly ninety-two, and he lived on
the same farm which his father, Shimuel,
took up, he being one of the first settlers
here, coming from Wells in 1875.
Most of the years of bis young manhood
he spent on the water, putting in several
seasons on the Grand Banks. He fol-
lowed the sea at intervals until he was
fifty years of age, when he settled down in
the neighborhood where he was so we'll
known.
Mr. Hodgkins was man of simple
tastes. He was an ''every- day man to
meet, sterling in his honesty, yet sympa-
thetic and kindly in character. In spirit
he was cordial and hospitabie. He was
keenly interested in the larger interests of
life, and could be depended upon to set
his influence and example on the right
side of every good cause. He was a men,
Der of the one-time East Lsmoine Baptist
church, and was also trustee of the neat
little chapel just across the way from his
home.
A fact OF interest in connection with his
age was that he was the holder of the
gold-headed cane presented by Boston
paper to the oldest citizen in Hancock.
This will now be transmitted to the next
oldest man in the town.

NAVAL DESERTER
ON HIS TRIAL

o. J. Vallette was being courtmar-
tailed this morning, the charge being
desertion from the U. S. S. Connect
cut in April 1909.
Vallette was caught in Honolulu
and delivered aboard the naval tug
Navajo in December last. The Navajo
is the local 'pceiving ship. This
morning Vallette was before the court
on the charge, but the court has not
concluded its sitting.
The cruisers all went outside this
morning for exercise. They were out
of sight of land from the waterfront,
but they have not gone very far, for
they left detachment of men who
went down to Fort Shafter to have
rifle shooting practice, and fleet of
small launches were around the water
front carrying out the duties depend
ent upon them.

TYPHOID FEVER
r-,ss1ssa
CASES ON kauai

Three cases of diphtheria have
been reported from Kauai, and the
island sanitary inspector has luaran-
tined the patients and the contacts,
Two cases are near Eleele, and one is
at Waialua. All three are children,
and the usual treatment with anti
toxin has been given.
Typhoid fever has also broken out
on the Garden Island and, while there
are two cases at Makaweli plantation,
there is another out further along the
coast, at Gay & Robinsons estate.
The source of the typhoid outbreak
is not at present known, but the i'm
preston is that milk has carried the
infection. Chief Inspector Cook has
the proposition in hand, and he is
keeping in touch with DR. Pratt, pres
ident Of the Board of Health.
There will be a meeting of the
Board of Health on Thursday after
noon at $3.50 o'clock Only routine
matters are intended for considera-
tlon, although something else may
crop up before the date comes
around.
The lantern slides and outfit or
dered some months ago should be
coming along from the mainland soon
The scheme is to show the slides de
picting insanitary conditions an,
other factors OF diseases, at villages
throughout the Territory. A lecturer
will speak on sanitation, fully explain
ing the pictures.

MOSQUITO MEN
ON REGULAR LAY

From today, the forces of the mos
quito campaigners will be on new
basis and, while far fewer men will
be employed, the house to house in
spection will be carried on strictly.
The soldiers whose furlough expired
yesterday have returned to their regi-
ments, and their places have been
taken by discharged soldiers to help
out with the inspection of cutters, and
the staff is now on a permanent basis.
All payrolls are now kept at the board
of health office, and the men are paid
there.
The Office staff of Doctor Mccoy has
been reduced to one stenographer and,
as the bulk of the work is being done

"This termination" said Judge
Lymer, "is very welcome to the pro-
secution, for the reaeon that the main
and only witness did not testify on
the stand in accordance with his re-
iterated statements to me and to my
secretary before the trial, and there
was practically no case at all made

jury with a certainty of acquittal, as
it would misrepresent the public senti-
ment here and give men of the Bowers
stripe the impression that they can
defy the board of health agents with
impunity and never be convicted"
Had it been necessary for the de-
fense to put witnesses on the stand,
an attempt would have been made to
prove that Captain Bowers did not
gratuitously threaten to shoot the
civic sanitary inspector, but that he
told him that if the inspector perforat-
ed the cutters of the house, he would
perforate the inspector. "a man.
said E. c. Peters last week, has a
right to threaten to do an unlawful act
if it is to prevent the other man from
committing an unlawful act. The in
spector said he was going to perforate
Captain Bowers cutters and Captain
Bowers told him that, if he did, he
would perforate the inspector"

has no bearing on the rights of inspec
tors, Captain Bowers being freed mere

part of the prosecution. The principle

BOWERS FREE
But The LAW
NOT TESTED

The case of Capt. w. L. Bowers, on
trial on the charge of having threat
ened to perforate an agent of the civic
sanitation committee and of the board
of health, if the latter entered his
premises, came to a sudden and in
glorious end this morning when Judge
Robinson directed the jury to return
verdict of acquittal.
This order was granted on motion
of Attorney G. G. Peters, who was de-
Tending Bowers. Peters based his mo-
tion on the ground that Special Pro-
secutor Lymer, representing the sani-
tation authorities, had failed to take
two of the most elementary steps of
a criminal prosecution. He had neg
lected to prove venue and he had fail
ed to read the charge to the jury.
Commenting on the matter after
the trial had ended, Judge Robinson
stated that there was nothing left for
him to do but to direct the jury to
acquit. "The prosecution" he said,
failed to prove venue. Their chief
witness testified that the alleged Of
fense was committed on Punchbowl
street, but they neglected to state
whether Punchbowl street is in the
city and county of Honolulu or in
South America.
"And the attorney for the prosecu-
tion likewise neglected to read the
charge to the jury. 1t is one of the
elementary principles of law that the
charge must be read TO the jury This
is just as true in misdemeanor cases
as in felony cases.

Johnson is said to have told pal

be good for nothing else.
Notwithstanding this opinion of its
merits he intended to try and sell

LIKING OF BOYS FOR TOWN LIFE
HAMPERS INDUSTRIAL PROJECT

Although much interest is being
taken in the propoled secondary
school that is to be established at Ka-
huku, the scheme has not been much
advanced during the last week or so.
1t appears that the boys of the Waia-
lua and Kahuku districts, who would,
naturally, seem to be the logical basis
upon which to work, have a decided
preference to city life. The lads get
jobs in Honolulu as soon as~they pos
5ibly can. They appear to prefer the
delights of the moving picture shows
to those pertaining to the end of a
hoe.
Still, an effort is being made to
show the parents of boys that, at the
new school, the lads will get an op-
portunity to learn a good occupation
and one that will provide them with
much better paid positions than they
could possibly get, with their limited
education, in the city.
"The lads think of the immediate
present, and never look to the future,
said Inspector Gibson this morning
when discussing the question.

about humming close harmony for sew

the requisite voice. But first basses
either do not flourish in this climate
