POLICE ARE
INVESTIGATING
BOYS DEATH
Allegations Made That Little
Chinese Lad Was Beaten
Until He Died

What is believed will develop into
a case of extreme cruelty and brutal
ity is now receiving thorough inves-
tigatiofi at the hands of Chief of De-
tectives McDuffie, following the re-
port Of the mysterious death of ten
year-old Chinese boy who had lived
with his parents on Beretania street.
That the boy was literally beaten to
death is the allegation now coming
from several neighbors who finally
admitted that they heard cries of
anguish coming from the premises, up
or the day that the little fellow was
finally removed to the hospital for
treatment. Fl
The story as now gathered by the
police is in effect that the child was
sent to the hospital for treatment, it
being alleged by the mother and IA
ther that he had fallen from tree,
andsuffered many bruises and inter-
nal injuries.
The child is reported to have been
removed for medical treatment on
June 11th. Fiye-days later death re-
suited and the remains turned over to
the parents for burial.
Inquiry at the hospital today has
brought to light the declaration that
the. Chinese lad wasfa mass of bruises
when received there for medical at
tention., The hospital staff was also
told that the boy had fallen from the
top branches of tree and had struck
a number of limbs as he descended to
the ground.
Now comes testimony from those
who profess TO have been witnesses to
the cries of distress that the mother,
Lum Zip, administered a beating to
the child and did not cease her inflic-
ton of punishment until his cries had
become stilled through exhaustion.
One of the Chinese alleged as inn
plicated in the assault is believed to
be associated with one of the city
hack stands.

By C.. S. ALBERT
Especial Etar-Builetfn Correspondence I

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 7.-AIl
concerned with the distribution or re-
eeption of federal patronage in Ha-
waii have relapsed into a period Of
sullen irritation and disgust. Despite
announcements and predictions the
positions remain securely nailed down
and Republicans continue to draw the
salaries attached. There is no indi.
cation that this situation will be inn
proved and a general handing out of
pie follow. .@~ -
1t is true that five postmasters were
appointed and their names sent to the
senate for approval. Nearly three
months have slipped away without
confirmation. Approval is suspended
at the request of Delegate Kalaniana-
ole, who insists that he must be heard
before final action is taken. He ad-
vances the contention that postmas-
ters are not political appointments
Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1913-06-19

and there should be no partisan lines
drawn in making them.
The goyernorship awaits some
move on the part Of President Wilson
apparently he is doing nothing what
ever to solve the riddle It seems
more likely each day that Governor
Frear may be permitted to retain his
place until along in the autumn, thus
completing certain plans under devel
opment when the landslide turned the
government over to the Democrats
The candidates here on the ground
have grown weary. Some of them dc
not hesitate to express their disgust
All of them would hustle for the nexi
train going in the direction Of San
Francisco if it were not for disliking
to leave the other fellow here watch.

where two events going on at the
same time could be- seen.
First Infantry Winner.
The first event Of the day was the
obstacle race. won in very fast time,
even with a penalty Of 171s seconds,
by the team of the First Infantry The
time, including the penalty, was
minutes l-5 seconds. The course of
120 yards had five obstacles: the first,
a picket fence "a feet long and feet
in heighth, two walls of the same
length and, respectively, s and IL feet
In height; six empty barrels. and,
finally, a round log foot in diameter
and 20 feet long and about 10 feet
from the ground, approached by an
other log Of similar dimensions Sue
cess in this event was entirely a mat
ter of system and the success of the
First Infantry is due to their admira-
bic system. To bring their last men
over the high wall, they used the
lashed belts Of the men on the top
who had ample time to replace these
before the finish. The Cavalry fin
ished second, within 2 minutes and
10 2-5 seconds, but their time would
have been much faster-though still
hardly within the money-but for an
accident which happened to one Of
their men. In some way he lost his
hold on the top of the high wall and
fell, striking on his head. He made
three attempts to walk the plank, only
to fall of, and his last Try, long after
the rest of the team were in ranks
beyond the finish line, was made on
sheer nerve.
The twenty fifth Infantry and the
Field Artillery were also rams in the
race, the former finishing 4 seconds
behind the Cavalry and the latter )
minutes and IA Is seconds.
Each team comprised As men.
The first race in Ring B was the low
hurdles, distance 200 yards. The
track was about as poor as possible,
unrolled, uneven and the hurdles re-
sembled diIapidated herd of busted
sawbucks. Some had the required
heighth of 8 feet inches, but more
often they varied an inch or more from
the normal, a fatal difference for a
fast hurdler. The entries were one

and squadron. There was consider

Time, 261- seconds Prizes, first,

Fast Time in the Hundred.
The 100 yards dash was claimed
for the Cavalry for their fast man
some days before and he was touted
to be going the dash in ten flat but
he was not in the running today
Williamson, the fast man Of the
Twenty-fifth fell at about the fifty
yards mark ahead of the field. The
race went to Corporal Mills, Company

markably fast time of ten and one

Tree Gone Mad,

Nature in the tropics, left to her
self. is harsh, aggressive savage;
looks as though she wanted to hang
you with her dangling ropes or impale
you on her thorns, or engulf you in
her ranks Of. gigantic ferns. Her
mood is never as placid and sane as
in the north. There Is tree in the
Hawaiian woods that suggests tree
gone mad. It is called the hau-tree.
1t lies down, squirms and wriggles all
over the ground like a wounided
snake; 1t gets up, and then takes to
earth again. Now it wants to be q
vine, now 1t wants to be a tree 1t
throws somersaults. it makes itself
into loops and rings. it rolls. it reach
es, 1t doubles upon itself. Altogether
It is the craztest vegetable growth l
ever saw. Where you can get 1t UP
off the ground and let 1t perform its
antics on broad skeleton framework,
1t makes cover that no sunbeam can
penetrate, and forms living roof to
the most charming verandas-or
lanais, as they are called in the ISL
ands-that one can wish to see.-

PRISONERS MIGHT Be FREED
Many In New York JaIls Arc held
Contrary to the Strict LettQa1
Of the Law.

An examination Of the prison reports
of the state of New York has shown
that 254 prisoners are at present serv-
ing terms in the state under Illegal
sentences
Part of these prisoners claimed when
on trial to be first offenders, and sol
got an indeterminate sentence. The|
law of New York provides that onl
second convictions no indeterminate|
sentence can be given.
Part of them, however, have SEN
tences which terminate in the middle|
Of the winter. The law of New York
wisely provides that no prisoner may,
be released in the winter season, when
work is scarce and the incentive to|
crime is redoubled by the hardship
of the cold.
AS to the first ground of illegality,
other states have permitted indeter-
inmate sentences on second convic-
tions without discoverable bad re-
suits.
AS to the second ground one can say
the clamor against the courts would
be less effective If judges would take
more care to get on familiar and
really friendly terms with the law
