NIB. OLESON MEETS
WITH ACCIDENT

Attorney 4. ii. OlSen. OF 1OnO-
lulu who came up on the w. c..
Hall Friday morning for the spe.
aal purpose al addressing Ii e
Chamber of Commerce d its
guests at the banquet Saturday
evening, met with a most unfortu-
nate accident Friday evening as a
result of which he was obliged to
return to the city by the Kinau,
WI thout accomplishing the purpose
/of his mission.
Mr.. Olsen, with w. II. Rice,
Jr., and others, were returning in
an automobile from a meeting held
at Kapaa, where the attorney had
made speech. Between Lihue anG
Nawiliwili they discovered that the
cane-feld was afire, and, SO far as
they could see from the road, no
one was around to fight the flames
Mr.. Rice's idea was to get to tele-
phone and send in an alarm. Mr..
Olsen, however, got out Of the
machine and started to walk down
the railway track toward the fire,
to ascertain definitely if freight
ers were around.
Across the railway track a few
feet from the road is wide cattle
guard, which could not be seen
in the darkness. Mr.. Olsen evil
dAgtly made few steps over the
guard on the ties of the track. and
then stepped between the ties.
The fall he sustained was a very
heavy one, being across the rail
his head striking the loose rocks OF
the stone wall which had been cut
away at the time the railway put
track was through.
The attorney arose with diff
tulty. realiziug that he was hurt
and his companions rushed to hi.
assistance. ~
1t was found that Mr.. Olsen was
suffering and bleeding from long
cut across the upper part of the
neck beneath the chin, and pains
on legs and other parts of the body
indicated severe bruises.
Medical attention was obtained
quickly. 1t was found necessary
to put seven stitches in the GU
beneath the chin, and to make
other repairs. The attorney.
gums and teeth were lacerated ant
Jared, and rendered very painful
so much so that talking in the or
dinary way, was made difficult.
Mr.. Olsens plans were to ad
dress the Chamber of Commerce
Saturday evening and then remair
her to Tuesday afternoon, wher
Ne would have returned to the city
The accident, however, made al
that impossible, much to the dis
appointment of his friends and al
of the gentlemen who attended the
banquet.
At the meeting of the Chambe
of Commerce on June IL, Mr.
Charles A. Rice requested the rriv
ilegc of addressing h e b o d J
after the business of the Chambe
to be held on August Is. The re
quest was at that time granted b,
q unanimous vote. 1t turned out
however, that Mr.. Rice could no
be present, having another urgen
cali to the island OF Maui; and h
requested Mr.. Olsen to appear ant
address the Chamber in his stead
That Is the business which brough
the latter TO Kauai.
Mr.. Olsen belongs to the law firm
of Holmes, Stanley & Olsen, an,
Is a young attorney of marked abb
lities and oratorical powers.

PREDICTS MOST TERRIBLE
WAR SINCE FALL OF ROME
That Europe is to be Plunged
into Terrible War.

London. The Times, in an editorial
Sunday morning, says: Recent events
mean that Europe is to be the scene
of the most terrible war she has wit
messed since the fall Of the Roman en-
pire
The Times throws the blame upon
Germany, saying:
Germany could have stayed the
plague, had she chosen to speak in
Vienna as she speaks when she is in
earnest. She preferred to make de-
mands in St. Petersburg and Paris
which no government could entertain,
She has lived up to the worst princi-
pies of the Frederican tradition, which
disregards all obligations OF right and
wrong at the bidding of immediate
self-interest She has resolved to crush
France and trample upon the rights
Of those who stand in her way.
Yesterday it was Luxembourg; to
morrow il may be England she viii
assail without declaring war.

Types of Deep and Shallow Wells.

bored or driven wells are less liable
to pollution than shallow dug or bored
wells.
The safety of water supplies when
near sources OF possible surface pollu-
ton often depends largely on the char
acter and quality Of the material in
which the well is sunk. Surface wa
tiers in sinking through sandy soils or
surfaces are filtered, and in the finer
sands much of the polluting matter
which they carry is frequently re-
moved. In coarser sands or gravel the
degree of filtration is less. but water
taken from sands and gravels at
considerable depth may be considered
relatively safe. Waters from wells in
clay are not often polluted. since sur
face pollution filters through clay very
slowly.
Waters from wells in limestone are
frequently polluted. owing to the fact
that limestone soils usually contain
passages and channels at different
depths, which sometimes form a con.
tinuous passage for underground wa
ter for a considerable distance. and
4 which are very often directly connect
ed with sinks and basins occurring
here and there on the surface. It is
common practise to dump manure,
| trash and garbage into such sinks or
basins, and rain water falling into
these plunges directly into the under.
ground channels, carrying with it the
4 impurities from the basin TO those
i points where wells are sunk. In this
manner garbage or refuses dumped
anywhere in the neighborhood or
even at considerable distance from
a well in limestone may pollute the
/ water.

cIssern Filter Of concret. and stone.

Many diseases may be transmitted
by means OF water, and some OF the
diseases are so uniformly transmitted
by this means that they are known as
"water-borne" diseases. Typhoid, dys-
EMERY and other intestinal disorders
come under this class of diseases, and
consequently 1t is of the greatest inn
portance that every precaution be
taken to insure pure water supply,
says Bulletin No. 81 OF the United
States department of agriculture.
Farm water supplies may be divided
into three classes. In the order of
their liability to pollution these are
surface supplies, shallow underground
supplies and deep underground sup
plies. The surface supplies are OBJ
tanned from streams. ponds, reservoirs
and cisterns; both shallow and deep
underground supplies are obtained
from dug, bored, driven or drilled
wells, and from springs.
The investigations Of X. F. Keller
man and H. A. Whitaker of the depart
ment OF agriculture, in cooperation
with the Minnesota state board OF
health, indicate that of 70 carefully
selected a. typical water supplies in
Minnesota 20 were good and SO were
polluted. OF the polluted wells II

care would not make them safe; 1G

surface protection and could easily be

supplies investigated were polluted
During these investigations 23 Of the
farms examined showed a record o.
| typhoid fever.
Surface water supplies are those
most liable to pollution. and authori
ties agree that they are the most un
satisfactory for farm use. Streams

London.-Four great powers OF Eu-
rope = Austria-Hungary, Russia.
France and Germany, are now engag-
ed in actual warfare, but two Of them
Germany and France-not only have
not declared war against each other
as far as ia known here, Dut have
not even severe J diplomatic relations
This is despite the fact that Ger
many's uItimatum to France has eth
sr been ignored or rejected.
The explanation Of this would APP
pear to be that Germany and France
each is seeking to throw upon the
other the onus Of beginning the war
In fact, while the nations Of Europe
are flying at each others threats, they
are vieing with each other in pro-
testing their desire to maintain peace
and they repudiate the responsibility
for pIunging the whole continent into
5loodshed.
In this remarkable situation, France,
according to British opinion, has the
strongest justification. She certainly
vas the last to mobilize and seems
to have taken the greatest precaution
10 avoid frontier collisions.
On the other hand, Germany, in ad-
1i.ion to invading French territory
without making a formal declaration
of war, has violated the neutrality Of
Luxembourg and declines to give any
| pledge to respect Belgian neutrality.
| The efforts Of the British embassa,
| dor to Berlin TO obtain such under
standing have been wasted. 1t Is diff
fcult to see how Great Britain can
avoid being drawn into the conflict
to protect Belgian and Dutch neutral
! fty, and on this point Premier As
/ auith's official announcement in par
| lament is awaited with intense anx
| iety, the British public being no long
ar under any illusions as to the grav-
| ity of the crisis which transcends any
| thing in their experience.
The least observant man in Lon,
don could not help but be impressed
with the fact that something tremen
1ous was happening. Short OF actual
formal mobilization the British gov
eminent is making all necessary steps
to meet a situation unprecedente'
in the nations history.

France Charges Violation Of the Neu-
trality Of Luxembourg, Which Was
Guaranteed by the Treaty Of
London, Signed in 1867.

Paris.--Germany began hostilities
against France on Sunday, and Sun
day evening messages from the east
reported cannonading in the direction
of Longwy.
Previous messages have reported
the invasion of French territory by
German troops at Longlayille village,
which has 500 Inhabitants and is near
Longwy, and at Bertrambois, a vii
lage OF 1000 Inhabitants near Grey
sur Vevouze, in the department Of
Meurthe ct Moselle.
At the same time the important
customs station at Petit Croix, six
miles from Belfort, was shelled by
German troops. The Germans also
violated the neutrality of Luxembourg,
which was guaranteed by the treaty OF
London, signed in 1867 by France,
Belgium, England, Italy, the Neither
lands, Prussia and Russia.
A troop train filed with troops ar
rived in Luxembourg Sunday morning
and the government Of the Grand
Duchy is now in the hands of the Ger.
man military authorities, who have in
stalled headquarters at the govern
ment house. All railroad and tele-
graphic communication was immedi
ately cut off.

self in the position of an aggressol

ceiving filter, made Of concrete, which
contains fine sand, gravel and pow
dered charcoal In layers, and from
which It empties icso the cistern. The
rain-water pipe from the eavestrough
should be provided with a switch or
cutoff, so that the flow may be divert
ed to the outside-as. for instance, for
a short time at the beginning of rains
to exclude the filth collected on the
roof and cutters. An overflow pipe
should be provided in the side OF the
cistern and should be screened to ex-
clude rats and other vermin.
1t is usual to distinguish between
shallow underground supplies and
deep underground supplies. Wells
from Is to 30 feet In depth to water
flowing in a layer OF gravel or mud,
which rests on an impervious stratum,
are considered as sources Of shallow
underground supply.
Both shallow and deep farm wells
are often polluted from local sources.
They are often located for convenience
in the barnyard, under the stable or
barn. close to stock pens, privy vaults,
or teaching cesspools, or close to the
back door, out of which household
Stops are thrown and near which ami
NAL and vegetable refuse is often al
lowed to accumulate and decompose.
The soil surrounding the well becomes
saturated with organic filth and, IN
able finally to perform its useful work
of filtration and publication, allows
the surface water percolating through
it to carry it's load OF contamination
into the WELL
The well may be located at such a
distance from sources Of contamfna'
ton that ordinary pumping will bring
no bad results, but in case of unusu,
ally heavy pumping the underground
water surface for distance around
| the well may be sufficiently lowered tc
reach the zone of contamination Deer

and ponds receive the greater part
of the surface wash from the immedi-
ate neighborhood, and in many cases
barnyard or stockyard drainage from
points remote from where the water
is taken for household use. Streams
or ponds located in pastures, MANFRED
fields or where stock can gain access
to them are polluted. Sometimes sew
age aud house drainage are emptied
into streams and ponds. In fact, since
they are open and unprotected, there
are a thousand and one different
sources of pollution. Rain waters
from the roof are polluted by dust,
dirt and leaves, which collect in the
eavetrough. and by the droppings from
birds.
Surface water supplies should there
fore not be used for household pur-
poses, unless for washing milk cans
or for laundry purposes. And it may
be safely assumed that the person who
drinks water from surface supplies en-
dangers his health II such supplies are
not first protected from the sources
Of contamination as far as possible
and then purified.
In localities where underground wa
tiers are hard to obtain cisterns may
be used for the filtration. partial puri-
fication and storage of rain water.
The size of the cistern will depend on
the number of persons in the house
and on the general water consumption.
The cistern should be of water-tight
construction to prevent. leakage and
to prevent pollution from the neigh
boring soil. 1t should have an over
flow drain and a tight cover. There
should also be srttable provision for
straining or filterlng the water previ-
GUS to it's entrance to the cistern.
Concrete is probably the most sani-
tary and durable material for cisterns.
In general the walls and floor should be
8 to inches thick and well reinforced.
and the concrete should be carefully
proportioned and mixed. A mixture
OF 1 part cement to or pa parts OF
clean, sharp sand and or parts OF
clean and fairly small crushed rock or
gravel is satisfactory for fairly water
tight concrete. The inside surface
should be coated with a 1 to cement

naval reserves and naval marine pen
