to do-bar the blacks. But Just

Personally l believe what John

have reason to know that Jack is
so internally sick of the grind of
training that it simply makes him
sick to even give thought to it,
And at his age and after his seven
teen or eighteen years of activity
in the ring, some of those years
being mighty lean in q financial
way, he can scarcely be blamed for
feeling that way about 1t.
During a discussion of lean times
one day out at Las Vegas Jack
mentioned this, and seemed anx-
ious to impress his hearers with
the sincerity of the thing.
Why, the first time l Landed in
Chicago 1t was the middle of the

The Second Infantry completed its

which distributed the khaki-clad so@

some interesting differences Of opin-

more to get the regiment together

any definite facts in connection with

Two Victims of Vicious AS

Beer and Whisky Cause of Two
AfIairs-Auto Adds to
List of Injured

AT least two victims of series of
vicious assaults perpetrated during
/ the quiet of a Honolulu Sabbath may
die as a result OF, many dangerous
wounds inflicted at the hands of those
who gave evidence of having run
amuck.
Sue Tuck YUen, former partner in
a Hotel street cafe, lies at Queens
Hospital and is believed to be at the
point of death with four bullet wounds,
one ball entering the back of the head
near the base of the brain, another
near the heart, one through the chest,
and the fourth below the arm.
Coroner Rose stated today that the
Chinese has but the faintest chance
of pulling through, as the lungs are
pierced in two places, judging from an
examination made by the county ply
sician.
The Chinese received the wounds at
the hands of All Hoon, according to
the statements made to the police by
Lum Sun, who declares that he was
a witness to a portion of the ARRAY.
The trouble took place in a room in
a tenement near River and Hotel
streets.
The story gathered by the police.
who. now have All Hoon in custody,
is to the effect that trouble arose over
a division of the proceeds of the sale
of a Hotel street restaurant. 1t is al.
legged that failure to distribute the
moneys on hand caused words which
led to the ARRAY. 5s.
The charge is also made that All
Hoon also pointed the .32 revolver in
the direction of Bum Sun, who sought
safety in flight to neighboring room.
Following the firing of FIVE shots this
Chinese returned to the scene of con-
fiict and stated that he saw Sue Tuck
Yuen lying on the floor and All Hoon
there also, showing signs of great agi-
tation.
The second victim of serious as
sault is a Japanese named Fujioka,
who was taken to the hospital yester-
day with a wound inflicted by a pair
of shears. The allegation is made

Pouitz Death Will Not
Block kau Ditch Project

vents us from taking or using any
water that is in use at the present
time"
The Herald Article.
Following is the article the Herald
published:
"A good many local people are ex,
pressing doubt at the present time as
to whether the plans for the Kau
ditch, for which a franchise was OBJ
tanned from Congress during the last
session, will go through. The, reason
given for this doubt comes as the
result of the death of Pollitz, the San
Francisco broker, who was the presi-
dent of the Hutchinson Sugar Com
pany. 1t is believed that it is likely
that his death may result in the aban-
donment of the plans for the big irri-
cation project or at least cause their
postponement for some time.
Mr.. PollitZ was one of the strongest
supporters of the Kau ditch plan and
1t is stated that but for his interest
in the project and the support which
he gave constantly to the matter, it
would never have gone through to the
CAISHI IAdl IL dIISduS Has. JO0n l. q.
MCCrosson was named in the bill as
the main promoter, but he has stated
a number of times that personally he
was doing the work to please a num-
Der of mis- friends who had given him
support when he desired and needed it
and now wanted him to carry through
a proposition which they wished for.
Another report in regard to the
kau ditch comes from Hakalau, where
1t is stated that the plans for the
ditch would tap one of the main
sources from which the Hakalau plan
tation derives its water for tiuming
purposes. When the matter was taken
up with the Honolulu office the reply
came that it was very doubtful if the
kau ditch plans would go through at
the present time, owing to the death
of Mr. PollitZ, and that for the pres
ent there need be no worry. 1t was
probably from this matter that the
story in regard to the possible giving
up of the scheme has been heard in
Hilo."

FREAR TO
ACT
Public Boards Anxious to Have
appointment of Superin-
tendent Settled

Foreseeing delay of months in the
reappointment of Governor Frear
members OF the various public boards
are beginning to grow restive because
OF the exceedingly long delay in nam.
ing superintendent of public works
TO succeed Marston Campbell.
Efforts will be made now to get the
Governor to make an appointment of
Campbells successor within a few
days so that great mass of work
held up for weeks past can be cleared
off.
The situation is said to be growing
serious because of the approach of
another legislature. The various
boards, such as the loan fund commits
sion OF the islands, OF which Campbell
is an ex-officio member, the harbor
board, Of which he is chairman, and
the land board. are practically at a
standstill, Campbell's resignation was
handed in months ago and he has en-
tered business with the. Honolulu Iron
Works He Is seldom to be found at
the office of the superintendent, and
his whole department, It is claimed.
is disorganized and chaotic. 49,. f.
No plans for public improvements
are being prepared to submit to the
legislature, at least none Of compare
tive importance. The elaborate plans
of the harbor board for harbor and
wharf improvements have been SHOW
ed aside for the time being because
their progress depends upor the Coz
operation OF the superintendent OF
public works and until Campbell's sue
cessor Is named, It ID, not felt advis-
able to begin on the program of ac-
tion for the next two years. The vari-
GUS boards wish to draft out their
plans so that they can be submitted
TO the commercial bodies and made
public all over the islands, assuring
the support OF snd appropriations by
the legislature next spring.
While the Fisher investigation was
pending and in progress, the boards
deferred action, hoping that there
might be an indications of an early
appointment to the Governors chair.
Now, however, IL is felt that Pres
ident Taft is not likely to act for
some months, that the Fisher report
