DOVER EXHONERATED
 OF MURDER CHARGE
Old Man Charged With Killing Son is Discharged by Jus
 tice K. R. Case

Nick Dover, the old man arrest ed last week charged with killing ing his son near Pleasant Plains, was given a preliminary trial be- fore Justice R. K. Case at Bates vile last Friday and was discharg- ed.
 About 30 witnesses were exam ined, but there was no evidence to hold the old man on, except circumstantial and that unaccom- panied by no evidence to show a motive or plot. Six brothers of the dead man testified, and they all swore that Douglass was not in his right mind at times.
 The body of the dead man was found in thicket, nearly a mile from the public road and about five mics from where he had liv- ed. The evidence showed that he had been in love with a 14-year old girl, and was a man past 5. She married his brother, who was 20, and the family testified that Douglass had acted in queer manner after this.t
 The supposition is that he took poison and sat down where he was found. Some think he may have frozen to death at the place. He had stripped himself almost to the skin, and the weather was very cold about the time he is supposed to have died. Others think that he took poison, but his death, 1t seems will remain an un- solved mystery.

RED CROSS SUGGESTION.

Editor Honolulu StarBplletin,
Sir: There is no more worthy cause
than that Of the Red Cross Merry
Christmas sticker-stamp for the ben
ent Of the anti-tuberculosis campaign.
They sell at l cent Now we have no
penny pieces in Hawaii-nothing less
than q nickel. Here Is suggestion:
Let the merchants buy a lot of
these stamps and give stamps to Gus
torers for fractional change. That
is to say, where piece. of dry goods,
for example. us twoayafds for %
cents, and the customer wants only
one yard, which would be. by rights.
but 12ls cents, instead ri charging
said customer Is cents, Nhysnot give
him 10 cents ehanesnlt.ota quarter,
and two of the 1-cent anti
Red Cross stamps? The money the
stores make on the fact that we have
no penny pieces might as well, go for
this spelendid cause within the few
days of the campaigns duration. - A
suggestion from Hawaii's Sentinel. -

Residents of Kaimuki section voiced their
sentiments en- the frontagetax plan of local i'm.
provement in no uncertain terms last night in
the passage OF a resolution asking the supervi-
sors to inaugurate the system at an early date.
From time to time during the past few weeks
there have been reports that the present board
Of supervisors will not give the new laws a trial
during their term of office, fearing that the i'm
position of property frontage tax will ALLEVIATE
voters whom the tax hits The Star Bulletin be
lieycs that If the supervisors are convinced the
majority of the people of Honolulu wish the law
put into effect, it will be put into effect in 194.
Such meetings as that Of the Kaimuki Improve.
ment Club last night provide the surest possible
way of convincing the hoard. The superyi-
sors, through the chairman Of the road commit
tee, Mr.. Petrie, say that by January they hope
to have definite policy onimprovement matters

the collectorhip Of the port of New York is a sig.
nificant move for the national administration to
make at this time. Malone succeeds John Pur-
roy Mitchell. He is a son-in-law of Senator
O'Gornan and just at the close of the nlayoralty

the Tammany boss, Murphy. 1t will be remem-
,bered that President Wilson refused to recognize
the Tammany Endorsement for collector Of the
port six months ago, naming Mitchell instead.

termination of the national administration to
