Verdict One
Of Suicide

An inquest was held last night on
James A, Barton, who killed himself
by taking poison at Vida villa on
Saturday night
The verdict was one of suicide.
Among the witnesses was Miss
Charlotte Huse, to whom Barton's
last letter was addressed.
Her testimony was that she re-
turned from a dinner at the home Of
A. H. Dondero, found Bartons body
in his room and summoned assist.
ance.
Miss Huse last saw her lover alive
about 5 p. m. on Saturday.
J. r. T. Barton, deceased's brother,
stated that he last saw his brother
alive about the same time.
Kirk B. Porter was a witness. He
testified as to the events Immediately
following the discovery of Barton =

of whisky found in his room had beer

boarders and the contents forced be.
tween Bartons teeth in an attempt
to revivify him.
j. r. r, Barton had very little in,
formation to impart. The letter writ,
ten to him by deceased just before
he made away with himself was not
introduced. 1t is believed, however,
to have contained instructions with
regard to the funeral and a request
that a photograph of his grave be
sent to his mother.
A letter written to Benson, Smith
& Co., was read, but contained only
a request that the balance of his
wages be paid to his brother

$3.50 600 BUILDING IS TALKED ABOUT

viii the business men of the com
munity endorse the idea of a $3.50, 900
building to represent Hawaii's inter
ests at the Panama-Pacific Exposition
in 1915, or if not, what amount are
they willing to approve?
The San Francisco management Of
the big show are getting blue in the
face waiting to hear what Hawaii is
willing to do, and Hawaii's site COM
mittee in the Golden Gate city is CON
sequently in an embarrassing posi-
tion.
At a meeting of the special ways
and means committee made up of the
finance committees of the Chamber
of Commerce and the Merchants AS
sociation, held at 2 o'clock this after
noon, it was decided to put the mat
ter up to the business men through

up by the Advertiser. The entire re-
port is evidently manufactured out of
two replies ! made to questions asked
me by Mr.. H. w. Kinney in Hilo, the
whole substance of same being:
That if I could be shown that the
Territory could erect wharf on a
more favorable and economical site
than the one chosen, it was not too
late to make a change, as the speci-
fications were not ready for contract
bids to be called for, and that if there
was any serious difference in the ma
terial that the harbor commissioners
understood would have to be dredged
and the character of the material act
ually to be dredged, the matter would
require careful investigation, as IT
would seriously affect the cost of the
work.

a postal card canvass. These win
be sent out within few days.
The committee received a commu-
nication from Governor Frear stating
that 1t would be impossible for him
to spare $4,000 from his contingent
fund, for the purpose of providing for
Incidental expenses of planning Ha-
waits part in the exposition, pending

ever, that he will be glad to have full
data placed in his hands, which ne
may bring to the attention of the leg
islature, should a special session be
called.

is looking into the matter, is COM

THE MANOA PLAN
MAY Be PUSHED

In case a special session of the leg
islature is called, and there is a
strong rumor on the street today that
one will be called within the next
few weeks, it is entirely probable that
the Governor will be asked to include
in his call the securing of legislation
in line with the "Manoa plan" of
street building by local assessment.
The Manoa advocates of the idea
will bring the matter before the next
meeting of the Central Improvement
Committee, and urge having it re-
ferred at once to the legislative COM
mittee of that organization for the
purpose of having it whipped into the
form of a bill, which may then be ap-
proved by the different clubs and
commercial bodies of the city and
submitted to the Legislature.

MUCH WATER IS
SUPPLIED FREE

Most people are aware that large
amount of water is supplied, free Of
charge, to many public institutions,
but there are some "details of the vol.
ume so used which surprises even
those people.
The daily flushing of the sewers of
the city uses, say, two hundred thou
sand gallons of water. In a month,
six million gallons are thus used
through the flushing tanks.
1t would take the whole time, for
two days, of the Beretania pumping
plant to supply sufficient water 10
nush the sewers of Honoluolu Then
there are all the schools, parks, fire
hydrants and private consumers, who
are exempt from paying for water, to
be also considered.

Mr.. WAKEFIELD CONTRAD|CTS
STATEMENTS OF THE ADVERTISER

Editor Star: My attention has
been directed to a report published
in last Sundays Advertiser on the
"Hilo Wharf" question, in which my
name was freely used.
To correct any wrong impression
that the report may create, l wish to
state:
That my time in Hilo was entirely
occupied by private business.
That l examined no plans of the
proposed Hilo wharf site, and did not
look into the matter at all during my
brief stay there.
The statement that l was preparing
to attack or question the accuracy Of
the plans or statements of Mr.. Mars
ton Campbell is quite untrue, and is
merely repetition of the "nauseous
ineXactitudes" so frequently hashed

REPLIES
TO AN EDITORIAL

Governor Frear was asked this
morning about the editorial comment
made in Hilo paper about his not
having made any reference to resi-,
dence" lots in Greater Hilo."
Il went to Hilo to see what the
opinion of the people of that city was
on the plans for wharve, storehouses,
railroads and residential sites. The
map of the proposed scheme was
hung on the wall at the meeting. /,
in explaining the matter, touched up
on the residence lot proposition first
The people present at the meeting
seemed to take most interest in the
question of wharves, so the residence
matter did not receive much atten-
tiun.
Later on, at the banquet, ! again
brought up the matter of residence
lots, and some people spoke about the
scheme"
The governor has not yet found
time to read the report of the sanl-
tary commission. He will, however,
get through it as soon as possible.
Tenders for printing the report will
be called for soon.
The governor will also consider
the plan for a Greater Hilo" as sug,
gested by d. E, Metzger. The map
compiled by Metzger is being looked
over by the superintendent of public
works.

Chances for Hawaii
In Supplying Food
To the U.S.. Troops

What proportion of the food eaten
by the men of the United States
Army in Hawaii could be produced in
the Territory?
At the present time but a very
small fraction of the thousands of
dollars paid out every month by I'm
Gle Sam to feed the troops stationed
here remains in the Territory. The
little that does remain stays in the
hands of a few merchants who have
secured the Army contracts, and is

On the other hand, as the commits.

a much larger profit in proportion to

HEALTH PARTY
OFF TO MOL0KAI

At the meeting of the Board of
Health that began at two o'clock this
afternoon, only routine matters were
taken up. The tenders for supplies
for the Kalihi hospital were opened,
and decision will be come to later
on in the afternoon.
DR.. Pratt, DR.. Mccoy and DR.. Trot-
ter are leaving for Molokai this even
ing, on a special trip to inspect the
Leper Settlement and the Federal
Leprosarium. The party will return
on Sunday morning, and DIR. Mccoy
will then report on the Federal sta

ly produced food stuffs, and indeed is
doing what it can to stimulate local
production.
With the army strength of Oahu
increased to 10000 as planned for the
near future, the food bill will run
over 100000 per month.
Within a few weeks bids will be
received for furnishing, on a yearly
basis, $4,000 pounds of dressed beef
per month besides a large quantity
of mutton. Captain d. B. Case, depot
commissary states that this amount
