VERY WET
IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE WERE
MANY OF THE WALLPAPERS.
At a late Hour Boats Were Still Do
ing Rushing Business.

There is absolutely no doubt but
that Wheeling will b. dry In 1914.
but she certainly is making up for
that long dry spell by becoming wet
IN more ways than one at the present.
Market street from Twentieth TO Six
teenth was as crowded with boats
last night at midnight and after as
the street Is usually crowdc with
vehicles on Saturday afternoon aud
all saloons did a rushing business
throughout the night.
For some unknown reason many
Wheeling citizens seem to consider
II their hounden duty to become light
up during the food and from the play
that was given the saloons last night
and the number OF joyful ones that
flocked the streets IL seems that tho
idea has become more popular since
the January food.

Ready now to leave for San Fran

buiId what he declares will be one
of the most beautiful hotels in the
Pacific, ]. H. Hertsche, former man
ager Of the Hotels Young, Moana
and Royal Hawaiian. stated yesterday
afternoon that he had four valuable
pieces of property under considera-
ton as, sites for his proposed hos
telry. Hertsche will sail Saturday by
the steamer Sierra for San Francis
co. and will be gon . month, he says.
One of the pieces Of property he
says he has under consideration is
the w. G. Irwin estate at Waikiki.
Rumors have been current for num-
Der Of days that Hertsche is nego-
tiating for the purchase Of the beau
tiful James B. Castle property at Wal
XXI. but efforts made this morning
to confirm this failed, as none Of the
parties interested were willing to dis
cusB even the possibility Of such q
deal.
Hertsche stated that until he re-
turned he would be unable to disclose
more Of his plans than that he pro
posed to secure capital on the main
land with which to erect a splendid
beach hotel here. and that he had
four pieces Uf property to crtssse

With the bones in his foot crushed
from an automobile accident which
occurred while he was attempting to
crank his machine, Zeno K. Myers,
manager of the Home Insurance Com
pany, was taken to the Queens Hos
pital this morning. After an exami-
nation of his foot it was found neces-
sary to amputate part of It.
Physicians at the hospital stated
this afternoon that the operation was
entirely successful They said that
only a small part of the front Of the
foot had been taken on, that second
operation would not be necessary, and
that it was believed he would recover
soon.
The accident occurred when Mr..
Myers was attempting to crank his
machine before leaving his home for
his Office.
As he drew up the crank, the ma
chine is said to have lurched forward,
crushing his foot. Several of the
small bones were broken and the
flesh badly cut and bruised.
1t was at first thought that it
would be necessary to remove his en-
tire foot. Not until careful exami-
nation had been made was it decided
that only small portion of the foot
need be removed.
How long Mr.. Myers will be con-
fined at the Queens Hospital could not
be said this afternoon. 1t was stat
ed, however, that he was resting eas-
lily with every indication of his speedy
recovery.
The reason given for the sudden
lurch of the machine is that Mr..
Myers had failed to throw out his
gears when attempting to crank the
car.

POSTAL BANK
10 Open HERE
on JANUARY 2

HonOluluB postal savings bank will
be opened January 2, 1914. according
to information received by Postmast-
er i. g. Pratt from the department In
Washington At the same time the
ten other postal banks In Hawaii will
be opened, possibly under the direc-
ton Of a member of the department.
1t is the belief of the postmaster
that the institution of this bank win
mean great deal Of new work for
the local office as he is of the opinion
that 1t will be largely patronized by
foreigners and by enlisted mon. It
is probable that the present postof1ice
will not permit OF
the bank being installed in the post
Office, in which event an effort will
be made to secure the Honolulu hale
which. with some repairs. would make
a desirable location.
According to the men in charge of
the savings bank department, as COM
municated to Postmaster Pratt, 1t was
feared that the government saving
institutions woulds work a hardship.
upon the commercial banks. This
however, Is denied. In fact, the op-
posite is pointed out as the result
When funds in the postal savings
banks reach the deposit limit they are
removed to commercial institutions.
The system was established Janu-
airy /, 1911, with one bank in each
territory and state on the mainland.
Today there are 1900 offices with de-
posits aggregating $35, ,000, 900 besides
$500, 900 that have been invested in
postal bonds The total number of
depositors is 350,000.
These banks have proved especial
ly popular with foreigners who have
been accustomed to using them in
their own country and on this ground
Postmaster Pratt bases his ideas of
big local business In the case of the
enlisted men he is of the opinion that
many will withdraw their deposits
from mainland banks with the estab-
lishment of local institutions, owing
to the fact that it is not permissible
to have accounts at two different
postal savings banks.

julius ASCH
SAYS HE GOT
$3.50 FROM Kim
JaiIor, When Accused of Bor-
rowing from Prisoner, Ad-
mitS lie Transaction
PREVIOUSLY HAD STATED
THE STORY WAS UNTRUE
jailor Called as Witness and
GriIIed on Stand by At
torneY Brown

julius Asch, city and county jail
or, confessed this morning to having
been In need of money, and having
borrowed $3.50 from w. s. Kim, q Ko-
rean, while Kim was a prisoner at the
Institution during the earlier part OF
the present year.
The admission was made with much
reluctance upon the part Of Jailor
Asch, who when called to take
the stand in the district court today,
proved an interesting witness under
the grI..ing cross examination Of
Prosecuting Attorney Arthur Brown.
According to Asch, he found that
he required $3.50 and mentioned the
matter to Kim, who was then COM
pleting sentence Of several years
fer gross cheat. The Korean told
Asch that he stood ready to supply
the needfui money, and an interview
was arranged with Japanese friend.
A few days later. Asch said that
in company with Kim. he drove to
the Waikiki ranch Of the Japanese.
ihe money was given Kim by the
japanese, who then and there turned
the sum over to Asch.
Through an understanding reached
between Asch and his prisoner, no
receipt or note was given as security
for the return OF the money.
