Admits Gambling at Iron Works
Suicide" is the Verdict of Jury
WAS OLD EMPLOYEE
OF THE CORPORATION

Death by strangulation, resulting
from hanging by the neck with suicidal
intent" was the gist of verdict
rendered by jury appointed by Dep
uty Sheriff and Coroner Charles Rose
yesterday, which met to ascertain the
cause of the death of Heinrich Math4
las Pieper, born in Germany, who for
many years has been a resident OF
the islands, and employed as watch
man at the Honolulu Iron Works.
The remains of Pieper, who took
his life in dramatic manner, were
turned over to the relatives, who will
arrange for the funeral
1t is believed that Pieper ended his
life as a result of threats made by
police officials to the effect that he
would be called into court to testify
as to the gambling operations at the
honolulu Iron Works.
The police had raided the game,
Wednesday night, following number
of complaints alleged by them TO have
been lodged by members of the famil-
les of employees of the company, to
the effect that their menfolks gambled
away their earnings at the plant Pi-
eper was found dead Thursday morn
ing.
That gambling was praticed at the
works was admitted, yesterday, by the
superintendent who. however, stated
that it was being practiced only the.
evening following payday, and that
every effort was being made by the
company officials to suppress it.

0. JOY!B. JOY
HAS Returned
TO THE FOLD

There is more Joy in the Oahu
League when one pitcher returneth.
than over the ninety and nine who
strayed not into the bushes.
So Barney came back. Likewise one
Bill Hampton. These gentlemen,
whose names and fame are known
from the wilds of Waianae TO the duck
ponds Of Waikiki, asked for their re-
leases, and shook the dust of Athletic
Park forever from their spikes, when
the st. Louis Alumni players and the
league management came to a parting
of the ways over the recent Stanford
series. Now they have returned, and
striped stockings will again be drawn
owe rthe fatted calf.
But B. Joy and W. Hampton will
both wear Hawaii uniforms when they
gambol across the alleged green OF
the fnfield next Sunday. The bright
red star of his old club will no long
er ornament Barney's manly bosom.
'Fhe old pals who hearkened to his
gentle encouragement, he will now
face as an enemy, stern and unre-
lenting. For Barney has been netted
by Dave Desha, to steady the forlorn
hopes that play under his leadership.
Hampton comes back to his old team.
Yesterday afternoon the Oahu
league directors held meeting at
which the return of the two wander.
ing players was arranged to the salts
faction of all concerned. As they had
asked for their releases, and as mat
tiers between the Moiliili and Athletic
Park managements relative to the col
lege series had been smoothed over
without friction, it was thought best
for the interests of baseball to vel
come the little strangers back into the
foid. Dave Desha didn't say right out
loud in open meeting that he had Sc
cured the services of Mr.. Joy, but he
intimated as much, and later slipped
the word to some cronies that the
great and only Barney was his special
attraction from now on The irony of
fate brings the Hawaiis and Stars To-

TWO MINUTE DECISION
FOLLOWS HEARING THAT
CONSUMED FOUR WEEKS

1t took Circuit Judge Robinson less
than two minutes to arrive at a ver-
diet and pronounce decision in suit
that has been dragging along for
nearly four weeks, when he denied
the motion of John K. Sumner this
morning. Sumner asked that the
wer-of-attorney he had given to
Elias L. Jones on July Is, 1911, be
revoked and that the deed he had
made, giving all his property to
Jones, be set aside.
Sumner, who is very old and feeble,
has had seven or eight different men
serving him in this capacity in as
many years and that in each instance,
becoming dissatisfied with the manner
in which they were conducting his af-
fairs, has had the power-of-attorney
revoked
Sumner was wealthy man many
years ago, but as the result of his al
most endless litigations his holdings
have dwindled until he is now reput-
ed to own property worth only about
$4,000 or $4,000, some of which is
covered by mortgage, so that the in
come is barely sufficient for his sup
port. ...
He decided all his property to Jones
on the written agreement that the lat
ter would care for him during the re-
mainder of his life. The hearing Of
the case just closed occupied the
courts attention several hours each
day for nearly four weeks.

Of independence and proclaimnig their

IL was thought for time that the sec

absolute failure. According to dis
patches received here, however, fresh
outbreaks have occurred in the pro

Upon the receipt of a message by
President Yuan Shih-Kai, which was

revolution would become dormant

PARADE
TO BE GIVEN
EARLY BOOST
Promotion Committee to Call
for Bids for Advertising
Matter at Today'S
Meeting

Bids for printing the 1914 Floral
Parade and Mid-Winter Carnival post
ers, mailing cards, posts cards and
stickers, the design for which was
worked out by Edmund Steel and Lew
Henderson of this city, will be called
for by the promotion committee at its
meeting at half-past three o'clock this
afternoon.
Two bids will be asked, the first for
lithographing and timing 5000 post
ers, 10000 5xS mailing cards, 10000
post cards and $4,000 letter and pack
age stickers of the usual size, while
the second will call for prices on
printing and timing 10000 posters.
10000 mailing cards, 10000 post cards
and $4,000 stickers. The accepted de-
sign, which has been changed some
what and the word Hawaii" added,
will be autographed in from three to
four colors for the posters, which will
be somewhat larger than the ones of
last year, and q color reproduction
will be used for the mailing cards,
post card and stickers. 1t is believed
that something unique will be worked
up In the way of color scheme, and
that the makeup of the posters will be
in excess of anything thus far used
to advertise Honolulu's annual page
ant.
The promotion committee desires to
have the posters, cards and stickers
off the press at the earliest possible
moment in order that advertising the
1914 parade and carnival may com
mence at once. Posters will be sent
to practically all parts of the world
and will be timed so that they may
be well preserved. Mailing cards,
post cards and stickers, the first two
bearing an appropriate message, will
be given away at the rooms of the
committee.

INDECENT DEAD
Stand CHANCE
OF NOBURIAL

There is some trouble brewing over
the burying of the INDECENT dead. The
supervisors say that the territory
should bear part of such an expense,
but the board of health has replied
that 1t has nothing to do with it. The
supervisors say that the expense up
on them for burying the bodies OF
impoverished persons Is becoming
enormous, and that within the last
year that it has more than doubled.
The board Of health has offered its
regrets, but no money.
Supervisor Wolter called at the Of
flee of the board of health this morn
ing. AS chairman of the committee
on health, he had been delegated to
confer with DR.. J. S. B. Pratt, presi-
dent of the board, to see If the mat
Ter couldn't be amicably Strengthened
out. He returned to his Office with
out having accomplished anything.
either in the way of an agreement,
or a promise of one. It Is true, DR..
Pratt was not present, but Supervisor
Wolter was told for the president of
the beard that the city and county
would have to solve its own INDECENT
dead problem, without any financial
sIccor from the territory.
1t had been suggested by the board
of supervisors that it was the duty of
the territory to bury all bodies taken
to the morgue; but the putting of the
suggestion into practice has almost
been given up by Supervisor Wolter,
who says that getting money out of
the board of health is about as diff
cult as extracting molar teeth from
hen. However, he says he is going to
take the matter up again, this time
with DR.. Pratt personally, and before
that time he expects to fortify him.
self with new and better arguments
1t costs the city and county on an
average of more than $500 a month
to bury the INDECENT dead. The SUI
pervisors have contract with Harry
II. Williams, by which he is paid
5000 for every body he buries. This
sum includes transportation to the
graveyard.
A couple of years ago the expense
to the city and county for such ser
vices amounted only to about 500
But with the growing popu.
lation of the city, the amount has
been rapidly increasing, and accord
ing to Supervisor Wolter 1t will be
$500 before long.

FORT SHAFTER
MAY have ITS
own THEATRE

Especial Star Bulletin Correspondence
FORT SHAFTER, August S.-A pro-
position to provide an amusement hall
wherein moving picture shows will be
given for the exclusive patronage of
the Fort Shafter garrison, has been
made to the exchange authorities by
Mr.. De Saussure of Honolulu, repre-
senting one of the large companies
that furnish films for the movies
throughout the west and here in the
islands. The proposed plan is to build
a theater building on the order of an
aerodrome, or blue sky theater" and
at some suitable location within the
garrison limits and install therein an
up-to-date plant for the productions.
The equipment to include ample seat
ing arrangements, and the whole to be
sufficiently spacious to accommodate
a large proportion of the fifteen hun
dred people stationed or resident on
the reservation.
The establishment is to be under
the direct management of the Post Ex-.
change and operated on basis that
will insure high class attractions, af-
ford the picture people an opportun-
ity for reasonable profits, and furnish
the enlisted patrons with constant and
varied amusement at low cost. This
latter feature is the essential of the
whole scheme, for at present 1t is a
lamentable fact that absolutely no
amusements other than baseball or
tank swimming are to be found at Fort
Shafter, owing to crowded conditions
of all buildings on the post. Even the
gymnasium, though well equipped with
apparatus of modern type, Is not avail
able for its legitimate use, since 1t is
occupied by the band as quarters. The
proposition above referred to meets
with the hearty approval of both off,
GERS and men of the garrison, and
nothing will be left undone by the ofll-
GERS to conclude the deal, as it is fully
realized that the scheme affords
prospect of relief from the present
round of full work, and nothing nearer
than Honolulu in the way OF diver
sion.
The site of the theater has not yet
been selected but the open space Just
east of the guard house has been pro-
posed, and would be suitable one in
every way, being central and near the
station of the guard, where superyi-
sion and fire protection would be cas-

cial arrangements will, of course, be I,
