MENACED
by CARELESS
BLASTING
John Rodrigues Walks Into Path
of Unguarded Explosion; Taken
to Queens Hospital Painfully
Injured; Two Japanese Placed
Under Arrest.

Walking unsuspcctingly down Queen
street from Mauna Kea two boys, one
John Rodrigues, Portuguese, sixteen
years of age, yesterday at noon sud
denly found themselves in the midst of
storm of flying rock end stone blown
out of the site of the Honolulu Iron
Works warehouse now in course of con
struetion. Young Rodrigues was struck
by flying pieces of rock and was con
vcyed by the police painfully injured
to the Queens Hospital. His shoulder
is painfully injured, it is said.
Immediately after, for the fifth time
within week, the police commenced
an investigation of criminal careless
ness in blasting and again it proved to
be Japnaese who were responsible. Cap
tain KahanamolSu placed under arrest
two of them. Takenishi and Ikami,
charging them as common nuisances. 1t
is said that the lawmakers have so far
overlooked enacting any statute or or.
dinance regulating the use of explosives
in the city or Furnishing their careless
use.
According to the statements of the
boys, they were walking down the
street with no sign at ali in front of
them that blast was about to be
set off until they were struck. No watch
man was in their way with red flag
and the distance about the street to
which the rocks were thrown, they say,
testified to the fact that no protection
had been afforded passersby in any 9th
er way.
Young Rodrigues was taken from the
hospital to his home, near the Kakaako
Mission where he was attended by Doc
tor Bernard.
The japanese contractors have been
twice warned and once arrested for the
same thing. Their first attempt at dy-
namiting threw chunks of the old build
ing on the site over a block and half
and through the roof of the fshmarket.

Seeks $I777 for s
Destroyed Plants
Mrs. Keanalei Also Enumcrates
Loss of Galvanized Pipes and
Koa Bed in Banana Claim.

Mrs Keanalei, Hawaiian
woman. formerly of the Kalihi
camp, whose kulcana was raidcd
by rabid mosquito hunters in the
carly days of the anti.yellow fever
fight, is going to prove that ON
cials cannot dcvastate her or
chards and vineyards and get or
scot-free, she says.
The officials Of the banana com
mission are much interested in the
claim she has filed with them yes
claim she presented to them yes
tician of her district, asking for
a total of $l777 for her slaugh-
tered Horticulture. This woman is
striving hard to set tariff on
grcenery which will make pauper
of every landholdcr of the Islands
and Croesus out of the Territory
the moment the tax assessor gets
hold Of it.
Bananas are like Percy's brains,
ni& in her estimation She only
asks a few paltrv hundreds for
those. She had, for Instance, $50
New Zealand bananas, whose souls
will rest easy at 1925. One hun.
drcd apple bananas she values at
800. But she had sixty ferns, and
for the alleged destruction of these
she demands 500.
Then she had two mango trees
she SAYS were worth $50 apiece.
A pear trees sacrifice will tnke
the Territory $3.50 to amend, iac-
cordiDg to her figuring One ku-
kui tree appears to be worth $50.
A lauhala tree is valued at 800.
Two miulau trees are worth the
same. One pakalana tree is set
down for $50, while two orange
trees are valued at 800 apiece.
At this rate, it is estimated, the
ordinary back yard is worth mod
est fortune.
This woman also demands finan-
cial salve for the alleged loss of
three galvanized iron pipes, one
koa bedstead and an AK.

ANOTHER BRUTAL
MURDER IS
ADMITTED
Condemned Trio Awaiting Execu-
tion for Brutal Killing of Chi
aese Describe how They Also
Tcok the Life Of o Defcnselecs
Japanese.

Under the shadow of the gallows to
which they uust walk within the next
few weeks, the three Filipinos scntenc-
ed to death for the Kahauih murders
MT noon yesterday confessed to Chief
McDuflie that they murdered, about five
weeks previously, the japanese whose
body was found half buried in a cane
field near Waiau, Pearl Harbor.
This crime has remained mystery
ON police records since the body was
discovered in such an advanced stage
OF decomposition that it could not be
identliied. The lower part of the body
was buried and the throat was cut.
The similarity between the wounds
ON the body of the Chinese storekeeper
and his wife at Kahauiki and the
wounds on the Waiau japanese caused
Chief McDuffie to announce at the end
of the murder trial just closed that he
suspected the same quartet or trio to
have performed the earlier crime.
Three Murderers Confess.
Yesterday Miguel Manigbas, Domin.
go Rodrigues and Hildo Bautista were
examined in turn but all at first denied
any participation in the Waiau murder.
Afterwards, however, Domingo volun-
teered the first confession and was
quickly followed by the others.
lhey stated that they were all drunk
N that neighborhood one night and
found themselves without money or
other means of getting back to town.
Inc idea of murder cropped up in their
minds when they saw the Japanese
coming and while the other two jump.
ed the man, they say, Hildo cut his
throat. They searched his pockets and
found sixty dollars which they divided.
Domingo then took the body on his
back and carried it into the feld
where he buried it still warm. The de-
talls OF the murder which they describ
ed, line up with the minute marks on
the body, the position in which it was
found and other matters of police rec.
ord so that the police are convinced
that the murder trio is again telling
the truth.
The three men also made their final
confession in the Kahauiki case and
retailcd for McDuilic what they claim
to be the exact order of that crime. Al.
though they had previously all admitted
sharing in that murder, no two had
told the same story. Yesterday, how.
ever, they gave McDuffie all the de.
tails and with one exception these lined
up exactly with the story of the Coles.
tino Manalo, the principal evidence
which resulted in their conviction.
Whereas Celestino had denied bay-
ing any active share in the murder,
his companions all now assert that he
buried his knife in the woman also.
Miguel Has Weakened.
The attitude OF the three condemned
men toward their-impending fate has
completely changed. Miguel the brazen,
who laughed and joked aud taunted his
companions on the way to the Jail after
they had been sentenced to execution,
Is now almost physical wreck and
cried and cringed before the officers
yesterday. On the other hand domingo,
who was so weak after the sentence
nat he had to be assisted from the pa
trol has recovered his nerve and shows
no worry now whatever. Hildo plain
ly shows the effect of the strain.

the success of the performance was the
more praiseworthy. The original play
had been revised by Miss Lucas and
Miss Blair to make it better fitted for
Youthful minds to grasp, and, as in the
dramatization it was found there were
too few characters, a prologue was writ
