.FREAR'S MESSAGE
Will BREAK ALL
MARKS

With a final burst Of energy that
kept himself and two stepographers
busy from 8 o'clock Sunday morning
until / o'clock this morning Governor
Frear today finished his general mes
sage to the legislature and placed II IN
the hands of the printers. While It's
character IN detail will not be known
until the document is placed before
the lawmakers at noon on Wednesday,
enough has been learned Of the sub
ject to warrant the hint that his
communication will prove one Of the
most remarkable of its kind seen here
in many years.
For the last two or three months
this message has occupied the COVER
nor's attention during his spare mo-
ments since his return from the Vaca-
tion trip to Midway Island it has been
continually before him, while during
the last week he has done virtually
no other work or thought Of anything
but the message.
The result is a yolnminous compen-
dunn, covering several hundred type
written. pages, with survey Of such
breadth that practically every feature
OF activity in the islands, conceived.
projected or historical has been men
toned
+ Briefly, it is divided into fifteen
different topics, such as administers
tive, financial, judicial, legislative.
homesteadfng, etc, with a host Of sub
topics.
One of the most important features.
if any can really be called more inn
portant than another. is the appendix
he attaches. which contains a digestod
tabulation of figures and data that
will prove highly valuable for refer
ence by the territorial solons.

A fire is burning in the hold of the
Inter-Island Steam Navigation liner
Mauna Kea now at Hilo, caused by
the stacking OF a large shipment OF
Hawaiian lime.
At eight o'clock this morning the
situation remained unchanged accord
ing TO wireless message received
by President and General Manager
James A. Kennedy.
Between three and four hundred
barrels Of the lime loaded aboard the
vessel at Honolulu caught fire late
Sunday night and despite the efforts
of the officers and crew, is said to
have gained considerable Roadway.
The lime Is stored In the forward
hold of the Mauna Kea.
Orders were issued this morning for
the dispatch Of the steamer KiIa-
Hawaii port at noon today. The Kila-
uea Win reach Hilo at an early hour
tomorrow morning, and take all pas
sengers booked for Honolulu in the
Mauna Kea. The Kilauea should ar
rive here Tuesday afternoon in ample
time for transhipment of passengers
and mails to the Matson Navigation
liner Lurilpe scheduled to said for
San Francisco at six O'Clock tomorrow
evening. 8, y. s.
Details concsrhIng the fire thus far
received here are extremely meager.
TO cope with a lime fire on board a
vessel II considered In shipping
circles most difficult operation.
Water or steam il being used to fight
the fire now smoulderIng below the
matches in the Inter-lsland steamer.
II is the intention to flood the fer
ward hold of the Mauna Kea with
water sufficient to speedily slack ali
lime contained therein. To compIee
the work may require considerable
time. The vessel is pronounced in no
immediate danger, the trouble being
confined entirely to the compartment
holding the lime.
The Mauna Kea was to have return
cd to Honolulu early tomorrow morn
ing, and prepare for sailing for regu.
lar ports of call on Maui and Hawaii
at ten O'Clock Wednesday morning.

Goo Tai Chong former president
of the Liberty Theatre Company, and
teller with the First American Saw:
ings and Trust Company, who was al
legged to have left the islands for
.Iapan with savings bank funds, has
been brought back to Honolulu He
is said TO have confessed This guilt.
Chong was an arrival today by the
Pacific Mail liner Persia, in company
with Chief of Detectives Arthur Nc
Di'ffie
Chong was tracked to Yokohama
and, Kobe by Mcluffie, who followed
the fugitive in the liner Siberia. S.

afternoon upon bis arrival from the
Far East.

The young Chinese businessman
was kept to his ststeroom except at
such times as MeDhffie, as his custo-
dian and guardian, elected him to take
needed exercises
Chong is alleged to have admitted
TO the JAPANESE authorities that his
populations willf reach a figure total
ling close upon fifty thousand dollars.
He is further said to have admitted
that considerable portion of this
money was invested in moving picture
films, that were ordered and shipped
from the coast and forwarded to the
Japan and China coast, there to be
used by string of photo-play houses.
According to McDuffie, who returns
looking the picture of health after his
three months sojourn in Japan,

THREATENING TO KILL

When a man threatens 10 kill his
wife he should not be tried on a
charge of disturbing the peace
the charge should be felony with
a long penitentiary sentence as the
punishment.
A California police court judge
who was called upon to try man
on the charge OF disturbing the
peace of his wife by threatening to
kill her, gave the wife the following
advice;
Il advise you TO get a shotgun
and fill it full of huckshot and If
you have reason to believe that
this man is going to shoot you, kill
him first"
Ii is regrettahle that a judge
should find it necessary to advise a
woman to kill her husband, but in
the end it may prove to be sound
advise. The husband is now serv-
ing jail sentence and when his
fern is finished he will doubtless
fill himself with whiskey and go

The president and the directors
discussed the matter pro and con for
several days. At each meeting the
president cited additional reasons
, in favor of buying a new vault and
finally he won over the directors.
Today this bank has one of the
most modern vaults of any institu-
tion in the country. and, as the
president predicted, the increase in
business has paid the bill a dozen
times over.
The levee dirt situation presents
similar problem. A group Of
citizens want to be convinced that
the material being used in the re-
building OF the Mobile G. Ohio levee
is GOOD DIRT-they want to know
if it will hold back water when the
floods arrive. With them it is not
question of expense.
The principal object they are
striving for is safety from high
water, so that in the future the
people of cairo and the Drainage
District viii not leave in dread
when the flood stage is passing
Cairo in the Mississippi and Ohio
rivers. They want positive in
surance and not uncertain assur-
ances from the contractors that a
large percentage of sand and quick
sand. mixed with small portion of
clay will make a good levee.
These men have met with a GER
tain amount of antagonism in their
Investigations by those having the
work in charge. The occasion does
not justify antagonism. They are
interested in protecting their own
lives, lives of others, as we'll as the
property of themselves and others
in the Drainage District. Is there
any reason why men who have
