The new territorial grand jury for

lengthy charge in which he outlined
the duties of the inquisitors, among

ut will thus be seen that of all the

LIEUT.. A. K. PALMER :. r.
NEARLY KILLED: FALLS
FROM HORSE ON TRAIL

Especial Star-Bulletin Correspondence1
SCHOFIELD BARRACKS. Jan. II.
Lieut.. Albert X. G. Palmer of the
1st Field Artillery had very narrow
escape from death SATURDAY. night
when the horse upon which he was
mounted missed his footing while de-
scending ,precipitous trail down the
Opaeula gulch and, rolled down the
steep and rocky cliff more than 200
feet. y. ..::.
He had hardly gone 20 feet down
the trail when he and his horse went
tumbling into the canyon Lieut.. Pal
mer says he does not remember part
ing company with his horse When he
regained consciousness there were
several Japanese men around him with
lanterns, who proceeded to help him
to the top Of the gulch. They refused
to help him find his horse or to go
with him to Haleiwa, but sold him a
lantern, and about 9 o'clock Lieut.
Palmer reached the Haleiwa hotel in
semi-conscious condition. Though
covered with cuts and bruises there
were no broken bones nor injuries of
a serious nature.
Relapsing . into Inconsistencies
Lieut.. Palmer was transported by au-i
tomobile to the Schofield hospital,
but the next morning he insisted upon
organizing party to search for his
horse, q very fine animal valued at
over $500 that he had purchased from
the JuareZ race track, and to which
he was greatly devoted. The horse
was found 200 feet below the point
from which 1t had fallen, its hip
broken and otherwise terribly injured
1t had to be shot. It was found that
Lieut. Palmer had fallen Is feet down
the steep slope, with two sheer drops
of 20 feet. His escape from death or
serious injury is considered almost
miraculous.

Among other features of his report
is condemnation of the present form

Accompanying "Drydock" Smith is
F. w. Camp, concrete expert who
will have charge Of removing the con-
crete that was placed In the bottom

panied by Walter F. Dillingham;, gen.
eral manager of the Hawaiian Dredg-

Chain SOON TO
REACH HONOLULU

That the wireless chain that is to
connect the nations capital with the
nations farthest outpost in the Phil
ippines is soon to be completed, with
Hawaii an important link, is indicated
by advices Just received from Wash
ington. Bids have been asked for the
construction of 600-foot towers at San
Diego, Pearl Harbor and Cavite, p L.,
three of these monster masts being
contemplated for each station. .
The original project for navy wire
less communication, announced more
than year ago, included stations at
Samoa and Guam, but these have been
cut out now The chain will be Wash
ington-San Diego-Pearl Harbor-Cayite.
There is big station nearing COM
pletion at Darien, in the Canal Zone,
and this may be used as relay be-
tween San Diego and Washington, al
though experiments have proved that
San Francisco and Arlington can get
direct communication without trouble.
The wireless towers at Pearl Har-
Dor will be located between the dry
dock and the hospital site, near the
harbor line. No definite information
regarding the bidding has Been re-
ceived as yet by the navy civil engi-
neers here, but the following was re-
ceived this morning by the Star
Bulletin from the Bureau of Yards
and Docks in Washington: ."
Sealed proposals. indorsed, Pro-
posals for Steel Towers will be re-

The letting of this contract has been
