RUMOR OF A. X.
OzAWA'SDEATH
FLATLY DENIED
Report Was That Unknown
Japanese Attorney Had Died
Aboard Chiyo Maru

A rumor which became widespread
last night to the effect that Arthur *.
Ozawa, the wellknown Japanese at
torney of Honolulu, who left this city
December in the Chiyo Maru for
Yokohama, had died aboard the steam
er yesterday afternoon, was vigorous
ly denied this morning by the Japan
ese newspapers, c. C. Biting. Ozawa .
former law partner, and by other
friends of the attorney. The rumor
apparently is without foundation and
inquiries by the Star-Bulletin today
failed to bring to light the source OF
the report.
According to Y, Soga Of the Nippu
Jiji, his paper became aware Of the
rumor last night, when the Japanese
Daily Chronicle rushed an extra on to
the street to the effect that Ozawa
was dead aboard the Chiyo. c. c. Bit
ting, when informed of the ruInor,
sent two. wireless messages to the
Chiyo inquiring as to the authenticity
of the report, but up until the time Of
the Star-Bulletin going to press this
afternoon had received no reply.
hI co6d Iut IucT SLdLcS lHdL d lOCdl
resident sent cablegram to Mrs. X.
Imanishi, Mr.. Ozawa's sister, who re-
sides in Toxic, to the effect that her
brother was dead. Upon learning this
Mr.. Soga says that he forwarded a
cable to Mrs. Imanishi denying the
report
MIR. Ozawa, who is said to be
the only Japanese to practise law in
the United States. had been in poor
health for several months prior to his
departing for the Orient. This caused
him to resign the position of chairman
of the Japanese committee of the Mid
Pacific Carnival, in which festival he
took an active part last February,
which action was deeply regretted by
his associates in carnival matters.

ARMY BENEFITS
BY new SCALE
OF PUNISHMENT
Recent Executive Order Gives
Enlisted Man Much Better
Chance to Brace Up

A new executive order, relating to
the limits of punishment for enlisted
men and general prisoners of the
army, went into effect December 1,
and cases which are affected by it are
beginning to crop up in the Hawaiian
department.
The new order, G. o. 70, war depart
ment, is one of the most important
disciplinary regulations ever made for
the army, ana it is generally agreed
that it is move for better conditions
and will work for the benefit of the
individual 1t makes the limits of
punishment much more elastic, so
that they can be cut to fit specific
cases, and gives increased power to
the reviewing authority in the matter
of mitigating sentences Of courts mar
tial. 1t gives soldiers better chance
to brace up after misbehavior, and to
come through their service with q
clean record.
Under the new order forfeiture of
pay can be changed by the court to
detention of pay by adding 50 Per
cent to the amount. That is to say, q
soldier who is sentenced to forfeit $40
per month for three months might get
a detention of SIS per month for three
months instead, this $45 to be returned
to him at the end of his enlistment
Instead of confinement at hard la
Dor, soldier may be given by the
court a so per cent increase of hard
labor, without confinement In that
case he remains with his company
and does military duty, but spends
extra time performing the hard labor
Sentences of confinement and hard
labor may be mitigated by the review
ing authority as he sees fit
Another important provision is that
entire sentences, except those involv-
ing dishOnorable discharge, may be
suspended by the reviewing authority,
and if the soldier remains on his good
behavior for three months after the
time that the sentence would have
been served had it been executed the
suspended sentence is annulled
There are also added rights for
prisoners before courts martial. Un-
der the new order, if prisoner pleads
guilty, the president of the court must
inform the man of the maximum pun
ishment under the offense, and give
him chance to reconsider his plea.

N. {. PACHECO IS
FINALLYBERTHED
With FAT SALARY
Democratic WarhorSe Appoint
ed Chief Clerk by Circuit
Judge Stuart

Democratic party leaders. after Al
hours devoted to the pleasing task o
helping Circuit Judge Stuart select
Bourbon office staff, have at last me-
with success. In M. c. Pacheco, city
and county supervisor, who was de
feated for reelection on November 3
they have finally found a man who Is
willing, for the monthly stipend oi
$3.50 and some handsome side-fees, tC
work side by side with c. D. Pringle
the second clerk who was chosen a
few days ago by Judge Stuart.
1t was generally reported yesterday
that Manley G. X. Hopkins firmly and
repeatedly declined the position
though great pressure was brought to
bear upon him by L. L. McCandless,
John {. Wilson and other Democratic
leaders, who held numerous Inter
views with him on the subject. 1t was
declared that Hopkins refusal was
based on his disapproval of the second
clerk, already selected and engaged in
court duty.
Further close conference between
ShC PoA ~ 1OoNSA .
was held in the formers chamber
this morning, with the result that the
name, of Pacheco was announced be-
fore noon.
There were man, candidates for the
job, however, q number of whom were
perfectly willing to have Pringle for
side.partner If they could get priv
ilege of collecting the $3.50 per month.
Among these we're Willie Miles, Mayor
Ferns secretary; Harry Wilder, Jack
Kalakiela and others too numerous to
mention. Judge Stuart apparently
preferred a young lady clerk If he
could get one, for his first tentative
offer was to Miss Ellen K. Dwight,
stenographer in the attorney-generars
office. She declined, on the ground
that she was unacquainted with cleri-
cal work. -
Mr.. Pacheco stated this afternoon
that he had not definitely decided up
on accepting the position which has
been ofrered him, neither will he do
so until he has considered and con-
suited with his present employers,
feeling that he, owes 1t to them to
remain with them until they can make
other arrangements. However, all
in Judge Stuart's court having
been postponed until the January
term Of court there is no immediate
hurry for the change. ... ~.
Miss Rosa Holt temporarily accept
ed the Job OF court stenographer, but
after trying the work yesterday con-
cluded she did not care to remain per-
and announced she wanted
to quit at the end of the present week
that position has been Of
fered Miss Dwight and she has ac-
cepted II tentatively. She will try the
work a few weeks. Meantime her
place in the attorney-general's office
will be filled by Mrs. Harold Hustace,
formerly Miss Margery Mcclure, and
stenographer for Governor Frear.

TAXASSESSOR
ASSERTS REPORT
DOES INJUSTICE
Wilder Declares Statements as
to Nom Collection of Taxes
Are Unfair

Tax Assessor Charles T. Wilder
t2kes emphatic exception to the state
ments of waste of public funds and
in a report made to the Chamber of
Commerce yesterday by E. H. Paris
and published IN full elsewhere in the
Star-Bulletin today.
Assessor Wilder declares that a
gross injustice has been done th tax
office which could easily have been
avoided by an impartial investigation
of all the facts. In particular he de-
clares that the statement that poll-tax
books are sent out of the tax office
without a receipt being given or rec
ord made of their disposition is silly
on the face of it and absolutely TN
true" IN
Il do not wish to discuss Mr.. Fields
report, on which the Paris report was
based. until I have seen II, said Will
der this morning when asked for a
statement, but | am willing to say
that in some important respects the
report of Mr. Paris does not represent
the facts. | shall write to Mr.. Paris
and say so. l feel also that I should
be allowed an opportunity to be heard
by the Chamber of Commerce. Charges
such as those that have been made
should not be given publicity unless
those who make them are absolutely
aware of the facts.
mo poil-book has ever gone from
our office without receipt being given
for it and when 1t comes back from

also, the report does not fairly repre-
sent the matter.
THE tax office is a public Office
open to public inspection. Mr.. Field
came to me to collect his data and
was accorded every facility. The fig
ures he gives are the figures right
from my office, and l am certain that
these figures do not bear out the head
lines this morning that thousands Of
dollars are lost every year through
failure to collect taxes"

Paris is published today on page 10
and the full report of Chairman Guild
of the Ad Club committee will be pub
lished later.

THE COST 0F
 KILLING A MAN

According to figures compiled by Gen. Percin ill La Science ct la Vie. it costs so much to kill a man in war that it hardly seems worth while. Poison would be cheaper, if killing were the only object.
 The cost of killing man in war is obtained by dividing the total cost of a war to any of the belligerents by the number of men killed on the other side. The Franco-Prussian war cost France $6OO,OOO,OOO, and France killed 28,60O Germans. This was at the rate. of $21,OOO per man. The Russo Turkish war of 1S77-78 cost Turkey s40O,O00,OO0, and Turkey kill ed 16,6OO Russians, or $15.000 per Rus sian killed. The Russo-Japanese war of 1905 cost Russia $1,200.000. 900, so that it cost Russia $20,40O to kill each of the 28,6O0 Japs who were slain.
 The rate varies, obviously, and no fixed rate for killing can be figured. Besides, when the present war is over there will be an entirely new set of figures. The only certain de- duction that can be made is that the cost is excessive, and that it would be much more economical to distrib- ute germs of typhoid fever, say, and kill your men that way. It would be quite as decent, quite as civilized, as killing them by means of war.
