CLAUDINE ITO
BE ALTERED

WAILUKU, August 22.-There is, ap.
parently, little chance of the steamer
kilauea being put on the Honolulu.
kahului- Hama run. instead of the Clau.
dine. The Inter-lsland Company was
approached on the subject, but the man
ager showed conclusively that the Xii.
aues could not be made to pay her way
If put on the Maui run. However, the
lnter-lsland people said that extensive
alterations were to be made to the
Claudine, and that she would be bet.
ter boat to travel on when the changes
were completed.
The proposal that the Kilauea should
take the Claudine run was hailed with
delight by those people who have occa.
sion to 60 down to Honolulu frequently.
II was thought that some arrangement
could be made TO have the larger and
newer steamer put on. Influential in,
terests did their best, but very little
encouragement could be given them
1t is reported that very little freight
is offering nowadays, aud that the sugar

subject of supplies. There is hope, IL Is
claimed, of later on getting better
boat than the Claudine for the Maui
run but at the present there appears
to be nothing doing along that line.

Not Wanted by Police.

Chief McDufiie stated last night that
Refenstein was not wanted in connec.
tion with the murder of the Japanese
hackman at Iwilei. Two soldiers
Smith and Lyons-are now held on n
charge of murder, and, as far MS the
police know, there was no third party
connected with the tragedy.
The day the British steamship Cape
Finisterre sailed from Honolulu for
Eureka three soldiers were seen on the
wharf, and when the vessel left the
wharf only two returned to town. This
gave rise at the time to the rumor that
one of the men, who was afterwards
identified as Refenstein, was not only
deserter, but an accessory TO the muir
der of the haclman.

Smith and Lyons said Chief Me
Duffie. 1.-THE man Refenstein is not
wanted by us at all, but in all prob
ability the military authorities want
him, When the Cape Finisterre sailed,
Harbor Police officer Carter told the
captain that one of the three soldiers
seen on the wharf was probably aboard
the steamer and might be wanted for
murder. The captain probably notified

DRAGGED TO DEATH
! BY GALL0P|NG HORSE

WAILUKU, Maui, August 22.- On
Tuesday afternoon last little Kaulana
Waa, six years of age, was killed at
Makawao through being dragged about
five hundred feet by horse. The
child s neck was broken and there were
also some internal injuries. The depu,
ty sheriff investigated tine matter and,
as the evidence of accidental death was
conclusive, no inquiry was held.
1t seems that the child was accustom-
ed to lead the family horse down to
the pasture every day.
On Tuesday afternoon, between three
and four clock. the little one put a
short rope around the horse s neck and
started off to the pasture. The horse,
along meekly enough. The child was
holding the end of the rope in his hand
as he walked down the trail.
Some time afterwards, as the boy
was missin" the parents went to look
for him. They were Mortified to find
the child being dragged around the
pasture, at the end of the lettering
rope, by the terrified horse, which kept
up a wild gallop. The animal was
stopped and then it was seen that the
rope had been tied with slip-knot
around the waist of the little boy The
post norton, which was conducted by
Doctor Durney, revealed the fact that
the neck was broken. From what can
be gathered it seems that the child led
the horse for some distance and then,
for some reason or another, made fast
the rope around his waist. The horse
became frightened at something and
bOlted. The slip-knbt frightened and
the child was then dragged around till
death came. h..l
