ATTORNEY SEES BIG
FUTURE FOR HILo

mail Special TO The Advertiser)
HllO, March 30.--H. l.. Ross, who
years ago was a prominent attorney in
Hilo, returned last week TO settle
down again, the call which Hawaii ex-
ereises on all those who have stayed
here long enough TO be fully familiar
with her charms having made him an.
other member of the come back club.
Ross came to HiDo for the first time
in 1902 and practiced law until Deeem-
Der, 1904, when he left for Canada.
He expected to return TO Hawaii in
about three months, but circumstances
arose which made him change his
plans, and he remained on the mainland,
practicing law in Nevada and in Cali
fornia.
Ross is opening law Office in the
Burns Building, where he will resume
his practice in the local courts ms an
independent practitioner. lie expects
his family to come to Hilo during the
summer, when they will settle with
him here.
Ross speaks in glowing terms OF the
advance which IIilo has made during
the many years he has been absent.
lie calls attention 20 the fact that
nearly every building OF consequence
has been built during the past ten
years, that the streets have been
placed in better condition, that side
walks have been built, that entire
new business streets have been opened
up, and the like, all Of which has
brought HIilo out Of tho village class.
He also expresses the frmest pos.
sible belief that Hilo has Immense
possibilities for growth and develop.
ment, as offered by the vast increase
Of business and the starting Of new IA
dustries which the prorer development
Of the harbor as port Of call for the
Panama-orient trade will make pos.

Mail Special 10 The Advertisor.)
HlLO, March 3O.-AI atrocious muir
der and robbery took place at Honokaa
last friday evening. Tho victim was
n ffty.nine year Old Japanese, who
made his living by cultiSating patch
of cane and by raising Vegetables
which he peddled in the village. On
Friday, between scvoa and eight o clock
in the evening, he was returning from
one OF his peddling expeditions. when
he was about quarter of a mile north
OF the Williamson place, on the Waipio
side Of Honokaa, he was ambushed
and shot 20 death. Apparently the
murderer knew that the peddler had
taken in small sum of money on his
trip, and planned deliberately to Kill
him TO obtain this trifling sum. A
place where the grass was pressed down
behind some bushes indicated that the
murderer lad been in, ambush at this
point. &.s. .~Gta go t
The Japanese had been shot twice
through the chest, and the fact that
his raincoat was powder burned showed
that the shots were fired at extremely
close range. The empty pockets show.
ed only too plainly what the sordid mo-
tfve had been. Spa. l.fs..f,.
The wife Of the deceased missed her
husband, and the following morning
she set ont TO find him. First, she
found n mule and donkey which her
husband has used as pack animals. Az
ter the death Of their master the ami
mails had strayed along to camp. A
little while later the poor woman dis.
covered the body of her husband.
Tho police have, taken the matter IN
hand, and a Filipino has been arrested,
while moro suspicious characters Of the
same nationality win be gathered in,
though at present the evidence secured
is very meager. Deputy Sheriff Rick
ard says that there are indications that
a Filipipo committed the crime. He
adds that he has had remarks reported
to him from several Filipiros who are
said TO have threatened. that IL they.
could not obtain work on the planta-
tions. they would consider themselves
justified in supporting themselves by
robbery and murder. Rielard fears
that trouble may come of this.

no drastic action for further quaran-

Of the Mediterranean ny This was in
ilcated after hearing today ut the

Mr., Desha, secretary to Delegate Kala-

urge that no stringent action be taken.
They spoke particularly with reference
70 the quarantine against bananas and
pineapples.
However, the horticultural board fav-
ors action by the department in taking
over the WORK Of inspection aud certid-
cation which has been done by the State
Of California. IL Is said there is no pos

duly the expectation of bananas and

Mr.. Desha has been to the treasury
department and talked with Assistant
Secretary Of the Treasury Newton con-
corning the report of the district at
torney on public building site. Mr..
Desha says the assistant secretary will
confer shortly with Secretary McAdoo
about the matter but Mr.. Newton is
inclined TO think that owners are ask
ing too much for their property and
that this may result in giving up the

TECHNICAL FIGHT /
!. TO SAVE kEALOHA

fMail Special 70 The Advertiser

(Man special TO The AdvertiBor.)
HIL0, March Boa number of new
points in the defense of Kealoha were
raised last Tuesday by Attorney Me-
Bride, when he argued on his demur-
rcrs TO the indictments returned by the
last grand jury against the supervisor.
Tbe Ave indictments had been drawn
up al. IN different forms by Prosecutor
Hreekont on the principle outlined by
Rowling where he mentions the " dis
tinct Gninnations, one sure If the other
faits' As consequence Mcbride had
TO interpos' five separate and distinct
dcnnirrcrs ana the points raised in re-
gard 70 son,e dad not apply to the 9TH
.ers. Still, Claudius has high hopes that
he may knock out most, II not all, Of
the Ave indictments.
In the case of three Of the indiet
ments Mcbride commended that they are
faulty, basing his objection on the form
of the payrolls which II is alleged, were
forged. These Payrolls are divided in
columns under headings as follows:
Name, occupation, signature, amount.
Mcbride contends that the indict.
ments allege that the name.in the name
column was forged, and not the sigma.
ture in the signature column, and he
argues that one cannot forge the name
in the name column as that is placed
there through n mere clerical function,
and does not pretend to be a signature,
as such are to be found in the sigma.
ture column.
Another point raised by Mcbride is
based on the contention that an official
forgery Is alleged, ms the prosecution
charges that Kealoha committed the
forgeries in his capacity of road super
visor and not as private Individual.
and as four Of the indictments do not
allege that Kealoha did occupy an Of
hcial position, says Claudius, these four
indictments are defective.
In regard to four of the indictments
Mcbride showed that in describing the
payrolls they allege, first that these
were used for the purpose of showing
the amounts which we're due to tho EN-!
ployes; second, that these same pay.
rolls were used to show the receipts Of
the money received by the employees.
and also, third, that the payrolls were
used for the purpose of showing n claim
of Kealoha, and all these separate pur-
poses are repugnant to one another,
says Claudius.
Then there is one indictment which
Mcbride tackled on the grounds that
while II alleges that Kealoha did act
as road supervisor at the time, it does
IN fact show that he uttered, forged
instrument on the First Bank Of Hilo,
while the actual charge is that he.
forged an instrument against the Coun.
ty Of Hawaii.
Mcbride argued his points at some
length and with his usual vigor and
careful preparation, Deputy County
Attorney Heen argued for the prosecu-
ton.
