GRATING TN HlL0
SAID TO CONTINUE

That grating from Hawaii county s
road fund has been carried on during
the months OF May and June this
year, in the face of the extensive in
yestigations and prosecutions con-
ducted at Hilo. is the latest charge
developed in the Big Islands official
scandal, according to work brought
10 Honolulu this week by Attorney
General .Thayer.
1t is stated now that John Kealoha,
the Hawaii road overseer, is accused
not only of applying his peculiar sys-
TEN of bookkeeping, extracting from
the road fund in small items that ran
pu into big totals during 1911 and
1912, but of clingiRg tenaeiously to
the, same method during the month
of May and the early part OF the
present month.
Just how much may have been abb
stracted from tae' fund in this period
is not stated, as H. Gooding Field
has not completed his job of check
ing the accounts.
The system, it is asserted, is pre-
cisely the same as that which Kea-
lcha employed in the earlier period,
of juggling the payrolls by setting the
pay of some employees few dollars
higher than the time book gave them
credit for; then paying the Workmen
on the basis of the time book figures.

up at one Of the navy docks while in
port Admiral Moore stated this
morning that he would be glad to
have the British warship near the
naval estation, and that request for
this berth will be gladly granted. The
usual official calls and .courtedes
will be extended between the local
commandant and Captain Halsey of
the New Zealand, and everything pos
sible will be done by the sailors and
marines here to make the stay OF

The last official information / re-
eeived in regard to the arrival of the
New Zealand" said Admiral Moore
this morning, was that she would be
in Honolulu harbor between the 18th
and the 18th. If the New Zealand
berths at either of the navy docks, it
will be possible to enforce stricter
regulations as to the admission of
visitors, and possibly this berth
would be more convenient and desir-
able than one at one of the CONNER
cial wharves. / have told, the Brit

BOREAS SAVED
VALUED CARGO

Being frozen to the deck is prob
ably all that saved a portion OF the
deckload Of lumber going overheard
from the Norwegian steamship Ma
thilda, Captain Kjerland, now at st.
Johns, when she was on her last
passage out Of Portland in February
bound for Shanghai with cargo OF
fir. The steamer was in one OF the
greatest storms she ever encountered
when off the Aleutian islands.
Captain Kjerland says that the tenn
perature dropped to 80 degrees below
zero and the deckload became frozen
fest to the ship. The storm, which
was OF hurricane force, broke Febru-
cry 10, or IL days after the vessel had
crossed out of the Columbia river. 1t
continued with unabating fury for. AS
hours A mammoth eomber rolled
aboard and tore out the entire for
ward part OF the house occupied by
the officers The rails on the fore
castle head were carried away. A
lifeboat was hurled iHte the sea- The
aft was wrecked and dam
age was wrought in different parts of
the vessel.
Throughout the two days of the
terrific blow the temperature contin-
ned to hoved around so degrees below
Zero Water from the small seas
that kept rolling aboard soon froze,
solid to the lumber and held it on
deck more firmly than any lashings
would have done The steamer final
ly managed to reach Muroran, Japan,
where she replenished her bunkers.
After arriving at Shanghai, where she
her cargo. a sum of $4,000
was expended on her in making re-
pairs.
How the channel at the mouth of
the Taku river, the stream on which
Shanghai is situated, is kept at good
depth is another matter told about by
the officers of the. Mathilda. A sort
of rake arrangement is dragged back
spd forth across the bar by a tug. In.
one season it Is declared that the
depth of water over the bar was in.
creased by four feet by this means.
Across the bar represents a distance
OF 10 miles.

Morning on Chaneg

The only feature of the session of
the stock and bend market this morn
ing was the rise of Honolulu Brew. &
Mailing Company stock a quarter OF a
point over the sales which were re-
corded yesterday It was the only
feature of the session and the only
business as well. Offers to buy were
few, in part due to the news published
in the Star Bulletin yesterday alter
noon reporting the result of the
Democratic caucus in the senate,
which stood firm for the free-sugar-
in1three-years clause in the Wilson
Underwood tariff bill.
Between the sessions there were a
number of sales noted, but the amount
of the business did not equal that OF
yesterday In one sale, that of Eva,
small increase m its price was eff
fected. Ten shares of it sold at
1871, while Tuesday it sold during
the session for 1921. The other
sugar stocks remained unchanged
and the trading in them was in small
lots. Thirty shares of Onomea
brought 20 a share, Hawaiian Sugar
Co. 24.50. There was sharp drop of
three points in Oahu Railway and
Land Company, it changing hands in
a betMeen-t.-e-buards deal at lis.
The brokers along the street are
of divided opinion as to the immedi-
ate effect the decision of the caucus
will have on sugar stocks here, a
few saying that stocks will remain
about as. they are until the tariff Dill
is signed

IS
TREATED At
LONG DISTANCE

How a patient was doctored 1000
miles away from his physician was
related by w. r. Rutherford and s..
Vickers, employees of the British
Cable Company, recent visitors In
Honolulu. The patient was DR.. Her
bert Metcalfe, resident surgeon at
RAINING Island, who died three days
after he became I'll.
With a score of Europeans. includ-
ing five married couples, Rutherford
as electrician and Vickers as cable
operator, had lived at Tanning for.
nearly three years when the hone
surgeon of the place was stricken
with commissions.
No one knew how to doctor him.
and when Vickers cabled the situa-
ton to Fiji, the operator there ex-
planned that the doctor would give
instructions via cable.
During the next three days Vickers
sent hourly bulletins to Fiji and re-
|ceiVed cahled medical advice, which
was carefully followed at Tanning.
DR.. Metcalfe is the first European
to die on the lonely little South Sea
island for many years. His comrades
buried him.
I'VE received no mail for nine
months" said Vickers "Our prOvi-
sions ran short so we were compelled
ito live on a few simple native fruits.
We wore few clothes and for three
years cid not wear any shoes. Ruth
erford has been transferred to Van
couver, while am going to the main
land on leave of absence"

II JAPANESE
LEAVEBRITISH
VESSEL HERE

the Japanese laborers were missing
The matter was brought to the Inn
mediate attention of Captain J. O..
Tuplin. The skipper in turn appealed
to his officers, but no one seems to
know just when the Japanese may
have deserted the ship for the gay
delights of Honolulu.
A, stiff penalty is involved in the
desertion of these laborers so it is
claimed by the local immigration Of
ficials.
Inquiry made this morning develop
ed the information that a fine rang
ing from one hundred to one thou
sand dollars can be imposed for the
loss Of each Japanese.
The men are understood to have
been paid off just before their de-
parture from Makatea In each in
stance they are known to have pos
sessed sums ranging from three hum
dred to six hundred dollars
Several theories have been adj
Eanced as TO the method the Japanese
employed in effecting their escape.
One generally accepted opinion is
that one or more Japanese fishing
sampans were employed in the work
of removal to place of safety.
The Hampstead lay at the Quaran-
tine wharf, under a guard maintained
by the federal immigration bureau,
It is believed that the men bent on
gaining their freedom might have
easily slid down a rope to waiting
boat, and in so doing would not
have arrested the attention of a.
watchman who at the time may have
been stationed on the opposite side.
The city is today being secured, with
a view of recovering the missing
men.
