TWO 'HOMICIDES
ON TWO ISLANDS

Takahttchi Kojiro, Japanese, was
murdered at Laupaloehoe, Hawaii,
last Friday evening. According 10 his
wifes story she was returning home
with him. after second desertion to
fel'ow-countryman named Yasuze
Kurashimo, and she being ashamed to
face acquaintance in the camp in
duced him to wait by the roadside un'
ill after dark. While they tarried
there. the woman says, Kurashimo
dumped out of the bushes and
mashed her husband over the head
with club two inches in diameter
She says she ran away and hid and
after a while went to the camp TO give
an alarm, but on her way had to peSs
the place of the assault where she
saw here husband lying dead with
his throat cut
Sheriff Pua, however has found
witnesses to say that the woman did
not go to the camp from the scene
but to the house of her paramount the
alleged murderer.
The autopsy revealed that one Of
the blows on the head was sufficient
to cause death. The wound in the
throat was apparently made with
pocket knife or other small weapon
Up to last accounts the murderer
was still at large.

VARIOUS SCHEMES
OF IMPROVEMENT

Important reports are to be pre-
scented this afternoon at four o'clock
to the Central Improvement Commit
tee from committees which have had
under consideration a number of inn
portant matters for some time past.
One of these is on the matter of park
ing Ka'akaua avenue. It is by no
means certain that public sentiment
has yet crystalized on any one plan
for making this improvement, and 1t
is pretty likely that there will be an
open three-cornered fight in the meet
ing between advocates of center park
ing, side parking and no parking at
all.
The committee on free garbage, as
has been already announced by the
chairman of the committee having
this matter in hand, will make re-
port recommending the adoption of
auto trucks, as a means toward this
end. The committee will also propose
another cleanup day, or rather a
whole week of housekeeping for the
community.
The legislation committee is ex-
pected to report on the Manoa front
age tax system of road construction,
by which property owners shall have
the right to nominate What streets
shall be improved and how it shall be
done, and shall be required to pay a
part of the cost according to their
frontage on the thoroughfare so i'm
proved.
The matter of getting work started
on the framing of bills in line I$th
recommendations of the late santa.

meeting of the next legislature, may
also be discussed, y.
