TO PROBE DEATHS
U. S. viii Investigate Killing of
Chinese Girl Infants.
orlentals Invariably Place Blame on
Scorpions When Female Babies
Die suddenIy-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 will 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 S15,-
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 a fractured
skull and an examination of the sup
posed scorpion proved that it be-
longed to 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 female
child, and in the past it has been re-
luctantly accepted by the police. In
a majority of cases. the suspected par.
ents have been able to produce a 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 office to
the work Of careful investigation, but
has invited Chief Detective McDuff1e
of the Honolulu police to place his
best men upon the work, with prom.
Use of liberal federal reward.
In addition County Attorney Cath
cart and City Prosecutor Brown, act.
ing upon advice of Territorial Attor,
ney-General Lindsay, will investigate
the mysteries of the large mortality

LARGE NUMBER
CROWS KILLED
BY EATING RICE
FIELD HAD BEEN BAITED FOR
DOVES, BUT THE CROWS TOOK
POSSESSION AND CLEANED UP
THE RICE, MOST OF THEM
DYING WHEN RICE sWELLED
IN THEIR CROPS.

Crows by the hundred have been
killed unlntentionally on Garnier's
bayou, caused by the birds eating "a
large quantity of coarse rice, which
had been placed in a field on the place
Of w. A D'Alemberte as a bait for
doves. The rice swelled in the crops
Of the crows, which caused the craws
to burst, killing the birds.
Recently Mr.. DAIemherte, who in
tended going up to his place with
some friends dove shooting, sent a
sack of coarse rice up to Lewis Hand,
and the latter baited the field so there
would be plenty of doves when the
hunters arrived.
The doves, however, got but little Of
the bait, for the crows swarmed over
the field and took possession, eating
up all Of the rice. Then they began
to die, and within a few days over q
hundred of them were dead, the rice
swelling in the crops and causing
them to burst

MOTHERHOOD
SUGGESTIONS
Advice to Expectant Mothers

The experience of Motherhood is a try
ing one to most women and marks dis
tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one
woman in hundred is prepared or un-
derstands how to properly care for her
self. Of course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment at
such times, but many approach the
experience with an organism untitled
for the trial of strength, and when it
is over her system has received shock
from which it is hard to recover. Fol-
lowing right upon this comes the ner-
vous strain of caring for the child, and
distinct change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
happy and healthy mother of children,
and indeed childbirth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health or
beauty. The unexplainable thing is that,
with all the evidence of shattered nerves
and broken health resulting from an I'M
prepared condition, and with ample time
In which to prepare; women will persist
in going blindly to the trial.
Every woman at this time should rely
upon Lydia E. Pinkhan 'sVegetable Com
pound, a most valuable tonic and invig-
orator of the female organism.

ATTEMPT TO BLOW
UP BIG AMENT DAM

What is believed to have been an
attempt to destroy the big Ament
dam and diversion dam three miles
east of the city was discovered Sun
day morning by w. p. Smith, foreman
at the dam. Smith says he was awak-
ened about a. m. by an explosion
that shook, the buildings on the prop
erty, and that upon investigation he
found a serious break in the dam
near the south shore, permitting wa
ter to rush through the aperture at
mill race speed.
An investigation was made Sunday
and Monday by Receiver George
Soranson, who was accompanied by
II. A. Corlis and NJ. c. Ament, the
men who superintended the con-
struct'on of the dam, and who know
the location of every timber and stone
In 1t.
This investigation developed that
the detonation was heard by the five
people living at the dam, and that the
explosion tore hole about four by
five feet in the plank toeing, about
ten feet from the south side, permit
ting a great quantity of water to pass
under the dam and through the crib
bling.
The extent of the damage cannot be
determined definitely on account of
the high stage of the water but the
receiver is of the opinion which is
concurred in by the others who par
ticipated in the investigation, that the
break will not interfere with the op-
GRAFTON of the pumps.
