BODY OF TIKI: COOK
WASHE9RBAsH0RE

The bodv~fbhe Chinese cook of
tne wrecked barn lvanhoe was
washed up on the beach at Ahu-
lua, McBryde plantation, a t
Tuesday afternoon where it was
discovered by one Noah Manoi
who reported it to the Kauai Rail-
road Company. a coroner's ju,v
was empanelled on the case by
Deputy Sheriff Henry Bake and
returned verdict 30 the same eff,
feet as that of tile Chilean. The
body was buried in the Chinese
cemetery a. Hanapepc.
As careful investigation as is
possible seems to indicate that no
other lives were l-st III the storm
1t is now thought TO be certain
that the body seen at the mouth of
the HanIpepe river and the one
seen alongside the bark British
Yeoman were one and the same, II

Tie total known dead are there

1t is worthy of note that at the
time the Ivanhoe drifted upon the
rock breakwater, the entire crew
of the British Yeoman volunteered
to 60 to the assistance of the dis
tressed crew and prepared to low
er sboats for that purpose. The
captain of the British Yeoman,
however. was of the opinion that
his boats could not survive in such
seas and refused to let the men 80.
In last issue mention was made
of the lack of power boats at Ka-
uai for service in case of wrecks.
1t may be explained that there are
three motor boats at Port Allen,
but all are too small for such SER

MAXWELL DANCE
A GREAT SUCCESS

The Makaweli Boys certainly en-
tertained in grand style on New
Years Eve, the occasion being a
masquerade ball at the social hall
in that town. The crowd was one
OF the largest and jolliest assem-.
bled on Kauai in a long while, and
merriment reigned supre m e
throughout the hours until the
early morning.
The social hall was elaboratelv
and beautifully decorated. and in
it the banquet feature was spread
on long tables. Dancing was in a
specially constructed lanai on the
lawn.
The costuming was probably the
most varied and extensive ever at
tempted or seen on this island
Many of the schemes were almost
startlingly good, and a committee
of judges would have had hard
time deciding upon the best ones.
The Coneys, of Lihue, and a band
of Indians, the idea of Mr.. and Fl.

once striking as were also, how.
ever, many others.

and pleasing feature.

CLERK IS SHORT
AROUND $4,000

Hans Reichelt, assistant book.
keeper for the Lihue Plantation
Company, was taken into custody
ny Sheriff Rice last Tuesday, pend
ing a complete investigation of his
accounts.
A considerable shortage has
since developed, and the case has
been remanded to the grand jury
for such action as may be deemed
proper.
Reichelt mas made good a part
of his shortage, some being in
cash and some in securities.
The known sho1 tage is about
$4,000, of which $1,000 O5 ap.
pears to have been wrongly divert
ed in the past twelve month. The
irregularities extended over a peri
cd of nearly six years.
Reichelt had been in the employ
of the Lihue plantation for great
many years and the utmost conf
dence was placed in him. He was
the time keeper and had desk in
the general Offices of the company.
The money was more or less sys-
tematically extracted through the
pay.rolls, and done in such way
that detection was not easy-in
fact had to come largely by acci-
dent, if it all.
No blame whatever is attached
to anyone else connected with the
company, unless, indeed. misplac-
ed confidence is to be- censured.
Information of the defalca tons
came as great surprise and dis
appointment to the officers of the
company and the co-woikers of
esiie young man.
Reichelt has homestead in the
Waipouli region which he has im-
proved considerably, this property
being, however, in the name Of his
wife.

HOW RICE TRIED TO
GET CONVENTION
Special Washington correspondence Of THE
GARDEN ISLAND


GARDEN LSL.AND)
Washington, D. G.. Dec. Is,
National Committeeman Charles A.
Rice, of Kauai, made an earnest
effort to have Hawaii given larger
representation in the coming Ma
tional convention ofthe Republican
party. He offered resolution to
p-ovidcthat Hawaii should have six
deleR Rdtes, and should De accorded at
least three votes i'll the convention.
It was held, however, that the Ma
tional Committee did not have the
authority to fix the representation
for the next convention and that
this authority existed only in the
convention itself Informally, the
Committee advised Mr.. Rice to
have six delegates attend the con.
vention from Hawaii and assured
HIM that the members of the COM
lnittee would as individuals use
their influence in having the dele
gates seated in th4 convention and
given a vote i'll its proceedings.
The Washinton Times of yester-
day gave Mr.. Rice the following
publicity:
Chockfull ofpromises and proph.
ecy. Charles A. Rice, the Repu-
blican national committeeman from
Hawaii, is in Washington to bag
the next Republican national con-
ven,ion for Honolulu. Mr.. Rice
not only has tempting financial
propositions to make to the com.
mittee, but paints the attractions
of convention in his island in
hues as auroral as the Hawaiian
sky.
The convention, however. is not
the only thing that Mr.. Rice wants
for Hawaii. He would like to get
back the two votes which Hawaii
formerly had in the convention so
that his constituents may have a
voice in the affairs of his partv.
Hawai- wants the next Repub-
lican natioEal convention, and Ho-
nolulu is in the race, declared Mr.
Rice.
The financial end is an easy
matter" he said. Not only will
Honolulu meet the requirements
by putting up the 100000 neces-
sary to defray the expenses of the
convention. but the H.waiian pco-
pie will provide steamers to carry
the delegates, so that there will be
no expenses to these gentlemen
for the greatest ten days sea trip
in the world"
AS a convention city he de-
clared there is nothing like Ho-
nolulu. 1t is the garden spot of
the world.
The one danger however, to
the country" he added, is that
the thousand or so drles ates who
will make up the convention should
Honolulu be selected, NAV decide
to stay OH forever in Hawaii and
desert their native state
Mr.. Rice is urging that the COM
mittee reverse itself and give two
voting delegates to Hawaii. The
Hawaiian votes were taken away
when the committee eliminated
Porto Rico and the Philippines
from a voice III the naming OF
candidates. The District of Colum-
bia and Alaska are allowed two
delegates.
Mr.. Rice says the consensus of
opinion is that a mistake was made
when Hawaii was deprived OF its
two votes. There is a general feel
ing he said, that the wrong will
be lighted, but it is believed. he
added, that this cannot be done

Those who contemplate building
sanitary surface closets under the
terms of the ordinance recently pass
ed by City Council will do we'll to con-
sult the city health officer or some
member Of the board Of health before
they begin work on their closets, as
by so doing they will probably be
saved considerable on the cost Of the
work. The members Of the board Of
health or health officer can give
full directions for building the closet,
so that it. will cost little. and at the
same time comply with the ordinance
and all sanitary requirements. Every
person who has these closets to erect
should build them at once and should
