RIVALRY
OF CONTRACTORS
H|E|E lei ! LIDS Fight

Rumors of hot rivalry between the
contractors of Honolulu which may re-
suit in keen competition and low
prices for street paving materialized
last night in unique situation pre-
scented to the board of supervisors.
Word for word, the Lord Young En-
cheering Company duplicated an offer
from the Bitulithic Paving & Concrete
Company for paving on Allen street.
except that the Lord.Young Company
proposed to substitute asphalt con.
crete for bitulithic and to do the job
more than $4,000 cheaper than the btu.
hthic company. ....c
The Lord Young Company guaran.
tees the paving for five years also.
For several days there have been
rumors that other contractors would
raise an objection to the city adopt
ing a patented pavement" as bituii-
thic and warrenite are termed. The
argument in favor of these paVernents
that they are guaranteed be
met with its own guarantee on as
phalt-concrete, says the Lord-Young
Company, and IN addition. 1t will make
better prices. y as& - n

Pvt. Ray Leftritch, Company X, 25th
Infantry. stationed near Fort Arm

was drowned in the harbOr this morn
ing while swimming with a score OF
companions.
In the opinion OF those who spent an
hour in attempting 10 rescitate the
man. pulmotor at Central Police sta
ton with a trained officer in charge,
might have saved his life. Deputy
Sheriff Rose Immediately telephoned
the Outrigger Club and the Inter-ls-

for pulmotors
In charge of Capt Charles Camp
bell and Ferdinand Hons. the Inter
Island pulmotor was first to arrive.
Leftritch had then been out of the
water Is minutes. Men from Fort
Armstrong. directed by DR.. Clark, had
employed first aid treatment without
success.
Hons operated the Inter-Island pull
motor for 40 minutes before the doc
tor pronounced the enlisted man dead.
The body was taken to Fort Shat
ter According to the story told by
enlisted men, Leftrich was suddenly
seized with cramp in deep water. He

sumner WILL
FILED IN COURT;
ESTATE LEFT

What is thought TO be the last will
and testament OF the late John X.
Sumner was filed in circuit court to-
day by 4. A. Mott-Smith, who Us
named in the document as executor
and trustee without bond. Sumner,
who died recently on WiBdward Oahu,
was an aged eccentric character AMI
years ago was said to be worth prob
ably $2j0,OG0. Part Of his life was
spent in the South seas and lie
brought back as his wife a princess OF
Tahiti.
In his later years Sumner became
entangled in an almost endless mass
of litigation which apparently left
him little or no property. Whether he
really had any worldly possessions at
the time of his death is a mystery to
Mott-Smith, who likewise does not
know whether any heirs are living.
The will filed today was made by
Sumner on January 30, 1906, and
placed in Mott-Smiths possession. 1t
is the only document of Summers that
Mott-Smith holds. 1t gives no intima-
ton concerning the character or loca-
tiCn of the estate, merely devising
the income, if there shall be any, to
che Louis Keller, and requesting that
upon the death of Keller the property
shall be equally divided among Kel-
ler's heirs. Keller. according to the
will, resides here, but he is unknown
to Mott-Smith. The latter is inclined
to think Keller may be living in Ia.
hiti. 1t also is possible that the es-
tate may have possessions in those
islands. but this likewise is not
known.
