TO PROBE DEATHS
U. S. win Investigate Killing OF
Chinese Girl Infants.
orientaIs Invariably Place Blame on
Scorpions When Female Babies
Die suddenly-one Case
Showed Fractured Skull.

Honolulu.-It is the belief OF the au-
thorities that the practice of infanti-
eide among the Chinese OF these
Islands is common, and vigorous meas
ures win at once be taken by federal
and local officials to determine to
what extent the murder of infants
among the orientals has been carried
on and to bring the offenders to JUS
tice
In fact, the first move in that d.
rection was made when by order of
United States District Attorney
Breckons, Chun Kin Sut, one of the
wealthiest Chinese of the territory,
and his wife were arrested, charged
with murder in the first degree In
causing the death of their year-old
girl baby. Pending further investiga-
ton the pair were released upon fur-
nishing cash bail of $4,000 and $751;
900, respectively.
The story of Chun Kin Sut and his
wife Is that the little one was bitten,
by scorpion, that they did not know
the cause of the child's illness, and
that they were surprised when she
died in commissions. A coroner's in
quest, however. revealed fractured
skull and an examination Of the sup
posed scorpion proved that 1t be-
longed to a non-poisonous class.
The scorpion bite story has long
been favorite one with the orientals
when they have been called upon to
account for the death of a female
child, and In the past 1t has been re-
luctantly accepted by the police. In
a majority OF cases the suspected par
ents have been able to produce ven-
omous spider of some description as
corroborative evidence and the au-
thorities have been baked in any
contemplated criminal procedure.
United States Attorney Breckons
has been keeping close watch upon
the vital statistics and he now de-
now declares that he will put an end
to the killing of girl babies among the
Chinese. To this end he has called
not only the men OF his own ONCE to
the work of careful investigation. but
has invited Chief Detective McDufie
of the Honolulu police to place hia
best men upon the work, with PROM
ise Of liberal federal reward.
In addition County Attorney Cath
