HEARING ON SHELBY
 COMPENSATION CLAIM.
Windham Couny Case to be Heard in
 Putnam June 18th.

A hearing on the claim of Mrs. Kate B. Sibley for compensation for the death of her husband. Sheriff Preston B. Sibley, who was killed in a trolley accident, has been set for Monday, June Is, at 10:30 a. m. in the superior court room at Putnam by Dr. James J. Donohue, compensation commission CT for the Second Congressional dis trict
 Comptroller Daniel P. Dunn refused to allow compensation from the state for the death of the sheriff on advice of Attorney General John H. Light The attorney general gave several reasons why, in his opinion, the sher- if was not an employe of teh state the principal one being that he was chosen by the county, although paid by the state, but declined to give an opin- ion to the effect that Mrs. Sibley was not entitled to compensation, believing it better to have the question definitely settled in court
 States Attorney Charles E. Searles of Putnam, who appears for the claim ant, has filed a claim against the state and county. Former Attorney General King vii appear for the state, and it is very likely that one side or the other will appeal from Commissioner Dono- hue'S finding to the superior court

He says that ne was convicted on the perjury of his wife, whom he says was the real crim- inal. having killed a men who had at tempted to assault her. Capodici was convicted of murder in the first degree in Willinantic on May 1e, 1908, being but r years of age at the time. The murder of which he was convicted took place in Moosup, the victim being Pie tro Dinatale, a New York man who was staying at his home. Dinatale was found with his head crushed in with an axe and his feet chopped off. The theory of the state was that Capodici had committed the crime for money.
 Capodici in his story. which GOV CTS 26 typewriter pages, says that his wife was the real murderer. He said that he was forced to marry his wife by her father and brothers, who held revolvers at his head and frightened him into ii. His wife's name was An toinetta, and according to his story she was very ardent in her affection for him before their marriage After ward she seemed to cool and at one time told him that her father had said that he was man who cut throats and she feared her fate would be the same. Finally Capodfci said he came home one day and found An toinetta all bloody. She told him sne had killed Dinatale when he had at tempted certain familiarities. but said unless he kept quiet about it she would swear that he tCapodicD had done 1t. She asked him to cut off Dinatale's s legs. but he refused. whereupon she took the axe and chopped them off. They then tried to carry out the body in & washtub. but slipped on the e. Finally he said Antoinetta's uncle came in and he helped her dispose of the body. The uncles name was Luigi Lombardo.

To Help Nature Shed
 a Bad Complexion

Beauty devotees are enthusiastic over the beaut-. ying qualities of mercolized wax Nothing discovered within recent years accompItshes so much, so quickly, without harm, at such small expense. = -Se principal reason for its wonderful merit Is that 1t works in harmony ..--n physiological laws. Instead Of hiding complexion defects, IL removes them. II actuaLIy takes off the aged faded. sal low, rreckled or blotchy cuticle, gently gradually, causing no inconvenience. It is Natures way of renewing complex ions. When the natural process is re- tarded because of deficient circulation or nerve tone, mercolized wax comes to the rescue and hastens the skln shedding. The new complexion which appears is a natural one, youthful. healthy, exquisitely beautiful. If you've never tried mercolized wax, get an ounce of it at the drug store, use at night like cold. cream, washing 1t of in the morning.
 Another natural beautifying treat ment-for wrinkled skin-is to bathe the face in a lotion made by dissolvidg an ounce of saxolite in a half pint witch hazel This is remarkably and instantaneously effective.

OUTDOOR Circle
CONTINUES ITS
EFFECTIVE WORK

Though many of the leading mem
bers of the Outdoor Circle are away
from honolulu, the circles good work
in improving Honolulu goes quietly
and effectively forward. ......
The resodding and grassing of the
capitol grounds, long an eye-sore be-
cause of the dying grass, is progress
ing at a rapid rate The circle has
gratefully received gift of 500 loads
of fertilizer from Norman Watkins,
of the Hawaiian Fertilizer Company
which is being put to good use. The
circles funds for the capitol work.
amounting to about $40 have not
proved sufficient and in the fall the
organization expects to give another
entertainment along the line of its
successful evening some months ago.
It is hoped that the authorities can
be prevailed upon to tear down the
old iron fence that now tops the stone
coping of the capitol wall. This iron
fence, it is maintained, is not relic
of the historic past but remainder
of later efforts at improvement which
failed. The circle wants the. fence
removed so that the capitol wall will
be uniform with that of Kawaiahao
church.
