There was only one hack in Kukui

at ten-thirty O'Clock last evening. It
was number 234. OFF on the fence, op-
posite the lighted doorway of the hall,
were ranged some twenty men and boys.
OF these, many were chauffeurs await

patrons would walk with them to where
the automobile lay throbbing for the

close of the dance, departed to secure
their machines and hacks to drive up

LAND APPRAISERS MAY
REACH A COMPROMISE

A compromise may settle the dispute
between the Territory aud Mrs. Meyer,
the owner of ten acres of Ealihikai
land wanted by the government for
the proposed territorial pcnitcntiary.
As stated in The Advertiser some days
ago, two of the appraisers appointed to
set valuation on the property decided
that $500 per acre would properly com,
pensate the owner, while the third mem.
ber held out for $4,000 per acre.
There was difference OF $1,000 in
the total figures of the appraisers to
the Territory. Mrs Meyer has been
standing out for n total of S25, 900 for
the ten acres, and the authorities fig
ured the property was worth about
$1,000, Mt which figure it had been as,
sessed for some wears past, The propO'
sition now. is to compromise at $4,000
and the attorney general is now in
clined to favor this aud may recon-
mend the deal close at this figure.

RUMOR REPORTS
TRIPLE MURDER
Unverified Story Tells of Fill
pinos on Kauai in
Bloody Affair.
(From Monday Advertiser)

According to an unverified report, an.
other Chinese family has been wiped out
by band of Filipinos, the report of
the latest outrage coming from Kauai
yesterday, being brought to town by
the Chinese members of the crew. of
the steamer Kinau. The victims of the
wholesale murder are said to be Tai
Nun, better known as All Chock, a
prominent merchant of kapaia; his
wife and two daughters. The assailants
are reported to be eight Filipinos, who
attempted to hold up the party as it was
returning to Kapaia in an auto, Sat.
urday afternoon.
Kun Lock, son of Tai Nun, who
lives in Homo lulu, stated last night that
he had heard the report, in two or three
different versions. He had tried to get
into wireless communication with Kauai
but had not heard the report in time,
he said Several of the passengers who
arrived yesterday morning by the XII
nau were interviewed, but none had
heard anything at all of the supposed
tragedy.
"The report was to the effect that
my father and sister had been killed,
and my mother wounded,' said Kun
Lock. "Another report was that my
father was unhurt, my mother wounded
and two sisters murdered. Another re-
port was that the chauffeur of the auto
who was first attacked by the Nlipinos,
was also killed. Ys

Kauai during the afternoon, but the

report, it will be verified by that time

Should the expectations of those es.

day, the day at the Country Club will
be one of intense interest as well as
pleasure. Mrs. Montague Cooke, who
has acted as captain for the ladies for
the past year and done SO much to
stimulate their interest in the game, is
anxious to make this last match for
which she is responsible an unusually
good one. a,
Already Mrs. Waiter Dillingham;,
Miss IIewlings, Miss Tenney, Mrs.
Cooke, Mrs. Mamie Phillips, and Mrs.
Haneberg have entered; the lists are
day of the match and there are still a
number who may be persuaded before
then that their playing is sufficiently
strong for them to enter. The number
of men who have signified their willing.
ness to play is far in advance of the
number of ladies, and if any lady is
too shy to choose her own partner, OF
has not received the assurance of some
good golfer that his pleasure in playing
with her will not be lessened by poor
shots, she may draw upon the list OF
those who must perforce stay out OF
the tournament for want of a partner
The game itself will not be the only
attraction, for special luncheon will
be served and many parties have already
planned to 90 up for that and ther
