Major Wooten, corps of engineers, U.
s. A, has notified the public works de-
partment that the reinforced concrete
piers which were made for and used
in the construction of the wharf at
Waimea, Kauai, are an infringement
on the patent OF his client. The wharf
is approaching completion and concrete
piers were exclusively used as under
pinnings in order to makeeit n perman-

When the war department com.
menced its fertilization operations at
Fort De Russy and Fort Kamehameha,
Mr.. Burbank fashioned concrete piles
about sixty feet long which were
driven through the crust of coral to
form solid base. Mr.. Burbank now
notifies the territorial government that
the type is a patent and those used Mt
Waimea have been used in violation of
his rights.

CHRONIC WIFE BEATER
GETS LIGHT SENTENCE.

David Leleo who has graced the reef
before and bears the reputation of a
chronic wife beater, cut wide swath
in Honolulu night life Tuesday night
and appeared in court yesterday morn
ing on two distinct charges, beating his
wife as usual and driving his hack over
an aged Hawaiian. In this instance it
seems that he abused his spouse with
more vim than usual, so she fled into
the street to escape him. He pursued
her in his hack, captured her and took
her back to the house where he held a
hammer over her head and threatened
to play the Anvil Chorus upon her scalp
if she carried the matter to the police.
She was willing to gamble on the
court s attitude, however, and escaped
to the police station at the first OPP
portunity. A little later he drove his
hack over the aged pedestrian. The
prosecuting attorney asked that he be
given year at hard labor when the
case came up, but Judge Monsarrat
thought that leniency would tend to
soften David g heart SO he let it go at
two months.

years of-ege, suffered liberation of
the scalp with possible cnncussion of
the brain upon the tracks in the freight
yard of the Oahu railroad yesterday
afternoon. when he was Knocked down
by shifting engine. A call came into
the police station about three O'Clock
yesterday afternoon, and the ambulance
was dispatched to the spot.
The -patrolman in charge found the
old man unconscious, and bleeding from
Yardmaster Doyle, who had assumed
charge of fhe affair, the policeman was
unable TO; extract enough information
ITO make Up his report and was told
that If the police wanted to know the
particulars the deputy sheriff might call
up the railroad offices.
Mesa was removed to the Queen Is
Hospital and when the wagon got back
Deputy Sheriff Rose did call up Fred
G. Smith, and was informed that the
victim had been drunk, had fallen
against the engine while it was in
motion and had sustained a slight
scratch on the head The patrolman on
the other hand stated that the man had
been drinking and was equipped with
demiiohn of wine but that he was
not drunk and that he had a cash three
inches long in the back of his head
and was unconscious when removed
from the scene of the accident.
In statement to The Advertiser
last night Smith said:
"From all accounts the man was
very drunk and the patrol was called
to get him away, have him, locked up
and sober him up rather than on ac.
count of any injuries he sustained
Yardmaster Doyle says that the engine
had stopped when the man attempted
to cross the tracks behind it, then start
ed to back and that Mesa fell against
+ it. He was in a hurry to have the
man removed and for that reason asked
the officer to get his information ovel
the telephone later"
At the Queens Hospital last even
ing the attendant physician said he wat
unable to tell how serious the injurie,
to the old Spaniard were but that the
only apparent injury was the scalI

CONSUL GENERAL At

United States Consul-General Thomas
Sammons of Yokohama will be in Ho-

cbrrsa s'Aps.c tIIIA -
I. Mr.. Summons is making the trip at
this time principally to be present at
the Harvard commencement exercises,
June 1s. Upon that occasion his son,
Wheeler Sammons, will be graduated,
and Mr.. Summons will be joined in the
States by Mrs. Sammons, who win ae-
company him to Cambridge for the
week.
Among matters that will occupy the
attention of Mr.. Summons while in
America, that of greatest interest to
those left behind in Yokohama will
probably be the steps he will take to
ascertain the situation in regard to the
appropriation of funds which have
been provided for the election of a new
consulate building at Yokohama. OF
late little has been heard regarding the
question, though the bill providing the
expenditure of moneys for new con-
sulate at Yokohama was passed some
months ago.

l DOWN WITH THE TITANIC.

SAN MATEo, May Ain the cargo
that went down with the Titanic was
a $4,000 shipment of orchids consigned
to a local nursery. Word was received
today from London that the plants had
been sent on the big steamship in or
der TO save time in transit. They had
been sent from India and no expense
was being spared to rush them through

The collection consisted 0f500 plants
and contained many rare varieties
which will be difficult to replace
Agents of the company had searched
the Himalaya highlands for months
gathering the collection, which was one
of the finest that has ever been ship
ped to America. Most of the plants
were of the Venda Caerule, the color of
which is light blue. 1t is said that this
blue is nearer that of the sky than any
that has been found in nature.

POOR PLACE FOR
AEROPLANE WORK
IS ISLAND OF OAHU
lFrom Thursday s Advertiser.l

"No recommendation has been for

of Hawaii to the war department for
the establishment of a division of
aeroplanes on this island" said Cen
eral Macomb yesterday.
eve have had no official notice that
such plan has been adopted or is to
be carried out.
81 am not certain that Oahu is a
good place for aeroplane work, from
an army standpoint. Judging by ex-
periences of aviators in the past two
years the flying of aeroplanes is
hazardous. Moanalua has been found
to be a bad place for experiments of
this kind, and the plains of Leilehua do
not seem to be adapted either. Mason
did make a very successful flight from
Schofield Barracks to Honolulu early
enc morning, but he found after going
up that the wind was favorable.
Aeroplanes could not fly far, the
limits being confined by the sea. OBJ
servations could just as well be taken
from the tops of our mountains"

declaring; 81 don't know whether a
Republican, Democrat or 'what.not

The Democrats laughed.
"Pardon me, said Cannon. 81 did
not mean to talk about Mr.. Bryan that
way"
A few minutes later Uncle Joe saun-

visiting Washington, hailed him. Shak-
ing the peerless one by the hand, Uncle
Joe exclaimed: "Well, well; talk about
Satan and he appears. "

Bryan VS., Underwood.
Representative Underwood, of Ala.
bama, having bagged the delegates
from Florida and Georgia, now becomes
little more formidable. The Bryan
opposition to him can be counted upon
10 be more and more emphatic, for
Bryan regarded Mr.. Underwood as a
dangerous conservative. 1t is widely
asseverated at Washington and else
where that Governor Woodrow Wilson
is being driven out of the running, but
that may not be altogether a war,
ranted inference. He has some excel
lent backing. AS long as the New
York delegation shows no disposition
to 90 to Speaker Clark, there remains
some prospect of Wilson s nomination
And yet he is being shut out of the
South quite effeetually. If the Texas
delegates are for him, that will offset
the successful work of the Underwood
supporters in the extreme southern
tier. Virginia and one or both thu
Carolinas may have some friendship fo1
