Committee Of
Is TACKLES JOB;
OUT AFTER FACTS
CONTINUED from page one,

! - = -. -
CATION said W. F. Frear. must deal
largely with the companies them
selves. We cannot get cut and make
detailed Investigations through the
people, we must get the facts of the
companies to convince them of some
thing which they already know exists. :"
Others believed that the companies
themselves realize that passenger con.
gestion does exist, and are of the
opinion that the companies would be
glad to furnish the exact data on the
matter. It was at this stage of the
discussion that the motion was made
by Mr.. Castle for the appointment of
committee to secure data from the
companies.
Take Up Freight, Too.
The original molten by Mr.. Castle
was to secure data On passenger con-
ditions only, but on suggestions, this
was amended to take up freight condi-
items also, the same committee to
handle both divisions of traffic
Little consideration was given to
the qeustion of assuring tonnage to
the Great Northern, which boat is
thought to be available for at least a
trial service between Honolulu and
the coast.
Mr.. Castle stated that he thought
the boat could be profitably run here
providing 300 passengers could be Sc
cured for each trip. Some changes,
he said, would have to be made IN
the boat, to enable it to make the run,
but these changes would be slight
Mr.. Mclnerny thought the Great
Northern too large steamer to make
the run. He was rather of the opin-
ion that the solution rested with the
Matson company. Il do not wish to
dictate the business interests of the
Matscn company" said Mr.. McInerny,
but it seems to me that they might
profitably sell the Lurline and build
another Matsonia.
Mr.. Mcinerny did not find anyone
else who agreed with him on that
idea, and a good many thought the
plan not feasible in the least.
Value Of Tourist Trade.
d. L. Wilmington called attention to
the fact that tourist travel is yalu
able asset to community, and that it
is always known to build up a city.
He cited the instances of the city of
San Diego, which had sprung from
city of $500 people to one Of. 100000
II do not advocate tourist travel as
the greatest thing" said Mr.. Whiting
ton, "but do say that it should be
looked after earnestly.
Several other members spoke on diff
ferent phases of the general question,
and then the motion by Mr.. Castle was
put to a vote and carried Mr.. Peck

crawled to Chicken House.
After considerable crawling and
wriggling along the ground, Captain
Kekaula reached the chicken house
and Immediately drew himself to his
feet He had hardly done so than a
shot rang out and the police officer
felt splash of something on his
hand in which he held his revolver.
He thought at first that he was wound
ed, but had. enough sense TO throw
himself on the ground just as a Sec
ond bullet whiZzed past him. In try
ing to get to his feet once more he
grasped one of the banana trees and
he at once felt hole from which
the sap was flowing rapidly. He then
realized that the first bullet from the
murderer's rifle had gone through the
soft banana tree, and the dampness
he felt on his hand had been some of
the sap of the tree.
Kekaula then thought it about time
to take a hand in the shooting compe-
tition himself. so he let fly couple
of bullets in the direction from which
the rifle shots had come. An instant
reply came when three shots rang
out in rapid succession. That meant
a retreat for the police officer and
he did zig-zag run for the cover
afforded by some houses.
Murderer FIees.
The murderer then disappeared in
the night and the whole camp and
countryside sat up and prayed for
daylight. In the early morning more
police arrived, and a little later on
Sheriff Pua put in an appearance from
Hilo. A council of war was held and
it was decided to send out all the
available police, armed to the teeth
and on horseback, to try and get
some trace of the murderer
The sheriff's theory is that the man
must try and get food somewhere,
although he may subsist for short
time on wild guavas and sugar cane.
Still, it would seem to be inevitable
that the man will try and get in touch
with some of his countrymen and OBJ
tain assistance from them. Watch
has been set on all the reads that
lead to the other parts of the island,
and instant word will be sent to the
police should a suspicious character
be seen making his way out of the

Took Shots at Dancers.
After shooting the Waterman the
murderer walked over to another
house where a dance was going on
and, declaring that his party had Just
as much right to make noise by sing
ing as the others had by dancing, fired
three shots through the walls of the
dwelling. Luckily nobody was hurt
although several persons had very
marrow escapes. One bullet went
through the hip pocket of young
fellow who was dancing. A clean hole
was cut through his pants, but he was
not injured.
1t was some time afterwards that
Capt of Police Kekaula arrived on
the scene. The first news he received
was that Pedro was killed and that
the murderer was somewhere around
the camp armed with repeating

Kekaula got his revolver out and
began to prowl around the camp. He
was informed that Mollers was some

he was waiting to get clean shot at

LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES
They Are Closely Observing Public
Health Conditions

An examining physician for one Of
the prominent Life Insurance Compa-
MES, in an interview on the subject,
made the astonishing statement tina.
one reason why SO many applicants
for insurance are rejected is because
kidney trouble is SO common to the
American people, and the large ma
iority of those whose applications are
declined do not even suspect that they
have the disease.
According TO this it would seem that
q medicine for the kidneys. possessing
real healing and curative properties,
would be blessing to thousands.
DR.. kilmer & Co, Binghampton. n.
Y, who prepare DR.. kilmer's Swamp
Root, the we'll known kidney, liver
and bladder remedy, claim that judg-
ing from evidence received from drug
gists everywhere, who are constantly
in touch with their customers. and
also indisputable proof in the form Of
grateful testimonial letters from thous-
ands of reliable citizens, this prepara-
ton is remarkably successful in sick
ness caused by kidney and bladder
troubles. Every interesting statement
they receive regarding Swamp Root

published unless the party who sends
it is reported Of good character. They

MANY KINDS OF FISH.
Of $40 Species Found in Maine Only
IL Have Commercial Value.

In an annotated catalogue OF the
fishes of Maine. prepared by William
Kendall, scientific assistant of the
United States. Bureau of Fisheries,
recently published as part first of vol
ume third Of the proceedings Of the
Portland Society Of Natural History.
there are listed 149 species. Mr.. Kendall
has spent a considerable part of the
last 20 years in studying the habits
and geological distribution of the
marine and fresh water fishes of
Maine. The work has several times
taken him by water the entire length
Of the coast and he has visited many
of the bays and fishing centeres. On
the fresh waters, all Of the larger and
most important lakes and rivers, as
we'll as many of the minor waters,
have been explored.
From this catalogue It appears that
there are 9S species of fishes that may
he considered almost strictly marine.
OF these only II are at present Of any
commercial value. OF the 149 species.
also only So can be called strictly
fresh water fishes, about IA of these
food fishes of more or less importance
and some of them are highly esteemed
game fishes, such as the salmon, pick
erel and black bass. 1t will be remem-
bered that Maine was one of the
first states to undertake fish culture.
In 1867 the first State Fish Commiss-
ion was appointed and since that time
various species have been propagated
and distributed.
Since 172 the United States Fish
Commission has cooperated in the
work, and great numbers Of young
fish have been planted in the waters
Of the state. Many depleted lakes and
streams have been restocked with
trout Landlocked salmon have been
introduced into many waters not be-
fore containing them, where they have
become acclimated and have increased
in numbers A number of species
foreign to the State have also been
introduced. including the black bass.
which in suitable waters has proved a
valuable food and game fish. Smells
also have proved a success in almost
every instance Of their introduction
and in some lakes have remarkably
increased in numbers and size.
OF the 149 species Of fishes cata-
logued as found in the salt and fresh
waters of Maine, only the following
25 are food fishes; Cod, paddock, cum
ners, hake. cusk. swordfish, blueflsh,
butter fish, mackerel. shad, herring,
pollock, sTnelty salmon, alewife. eel.
