Especial Star-Bulletin Correspondence
The revenue cutter Thetis from
Honolulu paid Hilo an official call
last week, remaining several days and
departing Sunday evening. Her mis-
sion is said to have been principally
to inspect the smaller shipping craft,
|ascertaining whether they were keep
ing within the marine regulations of
the federal government. Only one
violation Is reported to have been dis
covered, the owner Of one power
launch failing to have inscribed on
the stern of his vessel the name OF
the home port. These visits OF in
spection are supposed to be annual
affairs, though 1t Is The Thetis first
call at Hilo In about eighteen months.
Though opposition developed and a
warm forensic battle threatened, the
Hifo Board of Trade Tuesday passed
the resolution introduced for Lerrin
A. Thurston, providing for general
advertisement of Hilo Bays shipping
facilities among the large marine pas
|senger and freight transportation COM
panies Of the world, to be sent out
as an inducement to make large use
of this port in the vast maritime
commerce that is expected to develop
on the Pacific following the opening

HLO. Nav l5.-While the form Of
the recommendations which the inves-
tisat:on commission will make to the
governor are yet in embryo and the
precise nature of its suggestions for
change in Hawaii county government
are not. known, it is certain a more in
dependent system will be advised for
Hilo. This was made clear by DR..
H. B. Elliot at the meeting of the
board of trade this week.
Judge w. S. Wise had arisen with
the remark that he had just received
a notice from the deputy tax assessor.
and that it's figures staggered him. 1t
was an unusually heavy burden for
man of ordinary means, he declared.
and that it was an imposition to re-
qufre the citizens Of Hilo to help pay
the expenses of all the remainder Of
the Big Island If any change in
county affairs is to be made. he
thought, it should provide some pro-
lection for the HilO man from exces-
sively high taxation.
DR.. Elliot then stated that while he
was not at liberty to give compre-
hensive outline of the commissions
ideas on the subject he could an
nomce that this feature was under
close consideration. He said the
commission might not advise an alb
solutely, Independent government for
Hilo, making it separate corporation
from the remainder of the county, but
that it did propose a system CIV
ing the municipality larger freedom
in fact. that larger portion OF in
dependence was contemplated for each
of the MANY sections or districts into
which the island is naturally. divided.
The commissions report to the gov
ernor, he said, may be made early
next July. -

ed him to break away from the usual
custom. Busek was seen lowering the
lamp from its hangings a few minutes
before his death and when the officials
reached the scene of the accident the
lamp was still close to the ground and
the body of Busek was almost directly
Under. it. He had evidently touched
the heavily charged lamp with his
right thumb and he was standing on
wet ground. Evidently the rubber
gloves which he wore were not suf-
ieient to prevent his being killed.
The lamp was connected with wires
which had 1000 volts resistance.
It is thought that Busek had sought
to shut off the current in the lamp
and that when his thumb touched the
switch on the lamp he was instantly
killed. The blackened thumb showed
the course of the electricity into his
body. The body was removed to the
Hansen morgue and Manager Cook and
other officials of the company at once
went to the scene of the accident to
make an investigation. The stool
which Busek should have carried with
him was found in his Office at the
Public Service building.
From one standpoint the accident
was one of the most lamentable ever
known in Kenosha Busek had been
married only ten days ago and his
bride was Miss Anna Schwartz of New
Unity, Wis. He had slipped quietly
away from Kenosha for the wedding
and had told few of his friends of the
ceremony. He returned a week apo af-
ter a short honeymoon trip and had
left his wife at the home of her par
ents in order that he might come to
Kenosha and prepare the home for her.
He had planned to have the home
ready on next Tuesday and Mrs. Busek
was to have joined him here Saturday.
He had been working out some of the
plans for the home when the message
of the disabled lamp came to him at
the offices of the company. The wife
of a few days was found at New Unity
late Wednesday night and notified of
the killing of her husband. She was
Frustrated but it was announced that
she would come to Kenosha at once
to take charge Of the arrangements
for the funeral.
Busek was twenty eight years of age
and he had spent much of his life in
Kenosha. He had been an employee
of the Kenosha Gas and Electric Com
pany in the old days and he had re-
turned to work for the present com
pany three years ago. He was known
as an expert in his line and was con-
sidered one of the most valuable men
in the employ of the company. At
the time of serious accident at the
plant of the company little over
year ago he had showed great bravery
and was badly burned whileEattempt-
ing to prevent his superior official
from being injured.

WAS MARRIED TEN DAYS AGO
Unfortunate Man Had Gone to Take
Care of Defective Lamp on ouin-
ton Street and Had Failed to Observe
Proper Precautions in Handling Wires

Charles Busek, night trouble man for
the Wisconsin Gas and Electric Com
pany and one of the oldest employees
of the company in Kenosha, met instant
death by electrocution just after eight
O'Clock Wednesday night when he
came in contact with live wire con-
nected with street lamp near the
corner of Strong and Quinton streets.
The details of the accident are STROUD
ed In mystery as no one was with
Busek when he was killed and condi-
tions at the scene Of the fatal acct
dent failed to throw any light on the
death of the young man.
Busek was an expert electrician and
had at one time served the company in
the position Of head electrician. For
some time he had taken the night
8 trouble run. He had been at the
offices of the company just before eight
o o'clock when report reached the Of
fee that the street lamp on Quinton
street just south of Strong street was
not burning. Busek jumped on mot
orcycle and made a run to the dis
abled lamp and his dead body was
found in the middle of the street half
an hour later. So far as can be learn
ed no one saw him meet his death, but
people in the neighborhood discovered
the body a few minutes later. Busek
was known as a careful man, but when
he went out to take care of the defec-
tive lamp he failed to carry with him
an insulated stool. He had been re-
peatedly ordered by the officials of the
company not to attempt to handle
lamps without rubber gloves and an
insulated stool, but long handling of
electrical problems had probably caus-

Court Finds Evidence Insufficient ia
Hold Racine Man for Robbery.

A0"SAAAO u1oIl 1OI ISOupGEY,
P. II. Conroe of Racine, arrested a
week ago in connection with the rob-
berry of the Peterson shoe store on
Market Square was discharged by
Judge Randall at the preliminary hear
ing on Wednesday afternoon. The
alibi presented by Conroe and a half
dozen witnesses called by the defense
was too strong to permit the court to
hold him for trial and it is certain that
the district attorney could never have
secured the conviction of Conroe bv a
jury on the evidence presented. The
case is an unusual one as the identi-
flcation of the man by Isaac Yunguuist
who was in charge of the store, was a
most positive one, but if the testimony
of other witnesses could have been be-
ieved it would have been practically
impossible for Conroe to have commit
ted the robbery. The police are still
investigating the case, but they have
no new clue on which to work.
