that the board has found nothing radi-
cally wrong with the present site. If
this is so, it means that work win be
resumed on craving dock on the

job again, is not known.
Francis B. (Drydock) Smith, super
vising engineer for the contractors,
left on the Wilhelmina this morning,
bound for Washington, and this move
is taken to mean that the contractors
have a fair inkling that the findings
of the board, are not favorable to
their claims, and that they are hurry

sjble.
"The findings of the board will not
be made public from this office" said
Admiral Moore this morning. Under

visable to give out the context of the

that he saw no reason to change his

Ballou said aside from the tariff
that his employers1were interested

and opposed the literacy test in the

Europe TO build up a white popula-

beet, and Porto Rican and Hawaiian
sugar producers were interested in

We'll FIXED,
SAY FRIENDS

The possibility of trouble between
the United States and Japan, with a
consequent loss to the sugar interests
in the Hawaiian islands, is now said
10 have been one of several matters
over which John L. PYormann, chief
accountant of Castle e. Cooke, brood
ed and worried prior TO the. killing
of his mother and then turning wea-
pom upon himself
Deputy Sheriff and Coroner Rose
will today endeavor to ascertain some
facts regarding the strange life led
by the young business man. of whom
so little is really known.
To all intents and purposes re-
cluse, PyorIhann is declared TO have
repulsed any attempt upon the part CT
neighbors or his fellow employees to-
wards a better acquaintance during
the decade that he resided in the ter
ritory.
1t was learned today that PvoIaanT
was a native of the island of Cuba
and he is believed to have been born
in 1870. OF his career previous to
coming to Hawaii, little or nothing is
known.
The central figure in the murder of
an aged mother and the taking of his
own life is credited with having been
well off financially

Alapai street, was we'll if not sumptu-

however, no friend or neighbor is
known to have passed. Both mother
and son kept entirely to themselves
during their residence in that neigh
borhood.
That PVormann became respondent
over prospect of facing poverty is
generally secuted by those who pro-
fess to have some idea as to his CIR
cumstances. At one time Pvormann
is known to have invested to consid-
cradle extent in sugar stocks, and it
is believed that he retained valuable
interests up to the time of his tragic
deat.4.
The estate left behind was Hoteseri-
ousiy involved as far as can be learn
ed today. Another search of the
premises failed to reveal single
scrap of paper that would indicate
possible reason for the commitment of
the deed which Monday wiped out two
lives.
A double inquest over the remains
was held this afternoon.
