Story
OF lnflunnanity
Little Girl Dies Through Alleged
Brutality Of Her Mother
Awful Affair,

On Friday of last week, a little
eight-year old Hawaiian girl died in
the Paia Hospital. There is much
surmise as TO the real cause of her
untimely end. The post mortem
showed that the child's brain was
clotted with blood, and that her
stomach was also in bad way
There were marks of bruises on the
child's body and head, and she was
in very serious condition when
admitted to the hospital.
From the story told by the police,
it seems that the little girl was the
daughter of a widow. The girl had
been given away to another family
some years ago. She was, later on,
returned to her mother at Grove
Ranch, Makawao. From that time
on till the death of the girl, it is
alleged that extreme cruelty was the
child's portion.
Witnesses state that the mother
of the girl used to fog her with q
broom handle or any other conve-
nient piece of wood. The child was
beaten, say the police, over the
head and all over the body. She
was at times, it is alleged, thrown
about the house and dashed against
doors, beds OF tables. The girl was
one mass Of bruises and sores. The
story Of the abuse showered on the
little girl by her inhuman mother
is hardly credible.
The child became so i'll and weak
last week that on October 1 she was
taken to the hospital. She never
rallied and died there q couple of
days afterwards.

RESULTS.
Stars beat kahuIui, score, 9 to 6.

On Sunday afternoon last the
first game of the special Champion
ship series was begun on the Wal
luku diamond. The Kahuluis and
the Morning Stars met and the
result was a win for the Stars by a
score of 9 to 6. Tomorrow the
same teams will once more battle it
out, and there is no telling how
the struggle may go. The Kahu-
lui fans think their team can turn
the tables on the Stars, and it may
happen SO.
The game on Sunday last was
watched by large crowd of inter
ested fans, and there was some tall
roofing at times. When the climax
came in the second half of the
eighth, and the Stars pulled three
men over the plate, there was some
noise to be heard from the Wailuku
bunch. The score had been tied
up till the end of the first half of
the eighth. Then the Stars got
busy and, at the critical moment,
got three runs in and cinched the
game.
The Kahuluis were first up to
bat and they scored right at the
jump, when Carol did the trick.
The Stars were not to be denied

In the above words did Acting
Captain Johanson, of the schooner
Robert Searles tell of the tragic
death OF the captain of the vessel
while on a voyage from Portland to
Valparaiso.
The Robert Searles went through
an experience that is wonderful to
think of, and the fine seamanship
of Mate Johanson is responsible for
the fact that the vessel is not total
loss. As it is, the Searles is, as re-
CARDS top-hamper, a total wreck.
Everything that stood above the
decks is gone, and the jury masts
that were erected are the only things
showing. The rudder was also
washed away, and the jury rudder
that was rigged, is a monument to
the skill of the man who safely
brought the disabled vessel across

HONOLULU, Oct. 10.-Having
survived the first dab of the tariff
measure, we now come face to face
with an investigation into Hawaii s
meat supply with a view to fixing,
if possible, the germ Of a Trust. The
admission of meat from foreign
countries duty free, would mean to
the average man Il lower cost of liv-
ing and that is where the average
man is off on his calculations. On
Sunday there was an advertisement

HUSBAND MISTAKES WIFE
FOR BURGLAR and SHOOTS
Pathetic Case at Lahaina-YOmg Man Fires One Shot
And Probably Wiped Out Two Lives-Purey
Accidental Affair-Man Heartbroken

One of the most heart-rending
accidents that has happened on
Maui, or anywhere else, for many
years, was that which Mortified
Lahaina last Sunday morning,
when All Kee, a we'll known young
man shot his pretty little wife,
Alice, in mistake for burglar. The
unfortunate girl is about to become
mother for the second time, and
the shooting may result in the wip-
ing out of two lives.
From the story told by the heart
broken young husband, it appears
that he and his wife and their first
child, fourteen months, retired to
bed at an early hour on Saturday
evening. The rest of the three was
unbroken till about midnight when
the husband, awaking from deep
sleep, saw a form near the bed
room window. He reached for his
revolver which was under his pill
low and with a cry of, Who is
theres" fired one shot upon getting
no reply.
The next instant he was fully
awake and missed his wife from
his side. He sprang from the bed
and rushed to the window where
he found his wife weltering in her
blood. She was unconscious at
first and the young man thought
that she was dead.
A cry for assistance brought
neighbors to the scene and then
DR.. Burt was summoned. He saw
that the case was very serious and
at once telephoned for DIR. Osmers,
of Wailuku.

The two doctors probed the
wound, which is III the right breast
and traced the bullet. 1t was seen
that the young woman was para
lyzed and it is feared that the spinal
cord is injured by the bullet which
must have been diverted from its
course by some bone or muscle.
Mrs. All Kee was brought to Wal
luku on Wednesday last and she is
now at the Malulani Hospital.
During lucid interval the un-
fortunate young woman declared
that it was all her fault. She
should have, she says, answered
her husband when he called out,
Who is there"
Mr.. and Mrs. All Kee have lived
on the happiest of terms during
the short term of their married life.
They were very affectionate and
were always to be seen together.
On Saturday afternoon last they
went for a stroll before having
their dinner. They were happy
and bright, declared their friends
and neighbors.
1t seems that, some little time
ago, Mr.. All Kee heard some one
trying to enter his home at night.
He suspected some Filipinos who
were loafng about. He decided to
purchose a revolver and to keep a
sharp watch in future. He is in a
terrible condition of mind at pres
ent and his friends fear for him
should've lose both wife and un-
born babe.

positories, as a rule, had no accounts
with commercial banks, and it has
been possible to call from hiding
places millions of dollars, which
have been Immediately deposited,as
required by law, with local banks.
The effort now being made to ex-
tend the system in Hawaii is a
laudable one, and there is no doubt
that many people who have, up till
the present, hidden their money
somewhere, will now come forward
and deposit it with Uncle Sam.

SOI0ns Are
All Peeved
Supervisors Meetings Were Marked
By Hot FeeIing-"Cut My
Salary" Says Case.

At the meeting of the board of
supervisors that were held on Thurs
day last, there was some fireworks
for a while. In fact, every day of
the present session has been marked
by an Cutburst or two. There is
something i'll the air, and the solons
are all on edge. Supervisor Drum
mond seems to start everything and
is able to irritate the whole bunch
at will.
In accordance with the plans to
reduce salaries, or else discharge
some employees, the board started
its policy of having the heads of de-
partments in to consult with the
county dads. County Attorney Case
was the first to appear and, in ans
wer to assertions that some cut will
have to be made, stated that if the
board decided upon some reduction
in salaries, he would, although his
salary is settled by the legislature,
be content to allow his monthly
stipend be cut the same as any other
employee.
The question of expenses allowed
the county attorneys department
was also brought up. A regular
allowance of $50 per month is made
at present, The suggestion was made
that lump sum be allowed in
stead, This was not agreed to and
the old way is to be kept up, but a
statement Of the journeys made to
different parts Of the county is TO
be turned into the supervisors each
month. This was perfectly salts

per's story: We were seventeen
days out from Portland with a cargo
of three-quarters of million feet of
special lumber, when the glass
was observed to be dropping rapidly.
Captain Sandberg ordered all sail to
be slowed and the ship made snug
for the threatened 3blow. This
work was just completed when the
hurricane swooped down on us.
The force of the wind was terrific,
and the sea became fearfully rough.
Huge waves poured down over us
and things looked bad enough for
anything. Still, we kept the ships
head, to the wind and hoped for the
best.
However, within an hour of the
start of the blow the foremast and
mizzen-although a long distance
apart, snapped off like matches and
went by the board. The next in
slant the other two masts went also,
and the ship was then helpless. To
add to the trouble, the rudder
snapped off and then we were at
the mercy of the hurricane.
Captain Sandberg called for all
hands to clear away the wreckaee
and, as the deck load of lumber was
adrift, the work was dangerous.
However, the sea helped out and
soon cleared everything movable
from the decks.
The captain had his leg injured
by beipg dashed against the davitts
and, just before he was washed
overheard remarked that he thought
the limb was broken.

New Morgue
Is Needed

Chief Sanitary Inspector Osmer
reported a bad state of affairs re-
garding the Wailuku morgue, to
the board of supervisors, on We'd
nesday last. The inspector de-
clared that a change would have to
be made at once, and that a proper
dead-house is an absolute necessity.
Osmer stated that the present
morgue is a disgrace, and that it is
simply a shack without proper
roof and open so that dogs, cats,
rats, flies and other insects, can
enter at will. He also said that
the morgue is located within one
foot of a kitchen.
The state of affairs, as related by
Osmer, astonished most of the peo-
pie who heard the inspector 5 state
ment. Osmer declared that the
practise of holding post mortem
examinations in cane fields, on the
beach and i'll other places where
bodies are found, must stop. 1t is
against the law which calls for a
proper morgue. He recommends
that a proper morgue be erected
with a cement floor and other
necessary fittings.

MITCHELL LEADS IN
 HERALD'S VOTE POLL

NEW YORK, Oct. 28.-John Purroy Mitchell leads by about six to five over Edward E. Mccall in the New York Herald's poll of New Yorks voters on the mayorality question. The poll is significant in that among the voters boiled who have declared their politics there are two Democrats to one Re publican and Mccall is the regular Democratic nominee. Mitchell is a Democrat nominated by the fusionists for the purpose of defeating Tammany.
 Metz, Tammany, is leading Prender- gast, fusiOnist, for the controllership.
 McAneny, fusiOnist, is leading for president of the board of aldermen.
 The impeachment of Gov. Sulzer is clearly helping the fusionists. Many of those marking ballots take occasion to place pencil memoranda on their ballots in which they make bitter filings at Murphy because of the treat ment of SulZer.

The foreclosure proceedings were started some time ago and it is like ly that as soon as Judge Jennings re- turns from Ketchikan an order of sale will be made.
 With everything cleared up, a reOr- ganizatiOn will be effected by the own CTS of the property and plans put into effect for renewing development work on it.

 FAMOUS HYDROGRAPHER

ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 2O.-Com- mander Wilkitzky, who reported the discovery of a new island in the Arc tic, is a son of the famous hydro grapher, who died last year. He wanted to go west to the River Yen esei to winter, but met with solid ice and proceeded northerly, where he hundred. nautical miles.
 The expedition was then compelled by the ice to return toward the east. When passing Bennett island, in lati- tude 76.4O north, longitude 14S.30 east, they found the diaries and documents of the ill-starred expedition under Bar on Toll, which was lost in 1900. They also discovered the new island.
 The expeditions under Baron Nor denskjold, Fridjof Nansen and Baron Toll passed between Cape Tohelyu- skin and the newly discovered land without noticing it's presence.
 The discovery of the new land is re- garded as having the most important bearing on ice conditions in the Kara Sea.

LOWER YUKON DISCOVERY
 REPORTED TO BE GOOD

Under date of September 29, Mat thew Collins. who is we'll known all over Alaska and especially in the in teriOr and Seward peninsula writes from Marshall City asking a friend to forward copies of the new mining law fearing that there may be some con hict betwen it and the old regulations. He says in the letter: There is a lit tie excitement on here-a pretty good discovery of gold" He does not give any of the details nor attempt to boom the place.
 Marshall City is about forty miles from AndreOfsky on the Yukon river and is the very newest mining town to come into life in the great North. The place was named in honor of Vice President Thomas R. Marshall. It is the supply point of the new diggings reported by the Very Rev R. J. Cri- mont and by Volney Richmond only a few days ago.
