Miracles.
Greensboro Record.

Greensboro Record.
We marvel and many doubt when
they read about some Of the miracles
recorded in the Holy Bible. But
miracles greater than any recorded
there are being performed in this day
and age. This week communication
was established between San Francis
co and Tokyo, Japan-a distance Of
$500 miles by wireless. Nothing in
the world to carry the message that
appears tangible-just sending out on
the air currents the message and To-
kyo picking it up and replying. 1t is
said that within few weeks a regu-
lar commercial service between the
United States and Japan will be on.
And yet some Of Us seem to want to
doubt miracles Of far less Importance.

There are some folks in this world
who never appear to be able to come
to a decision on any issue, either big or
little. They are constantly harassed
by doubt and the fear that they will
make the mistake OF picking up some
thing by the wrong handle. They
spend their lives sitting astride the
fence because they lack the courage to
get down on either side Of it. They
strive to propitiate everybody and
please nobody.
What more pathetic spectacle than to
see a strapping big man chasing back
and forth between the hat counter and
the mirror on the wall in the agony OF
doubt and despair over the momentous
question as to whether he ought to
purchase a straw lid with red band
on it or blue!
Sympathy, goes out to the woman
who for weeks perplexes her pretty
head over the problems as to whether
she will have her new gown cut OBJ
uQuely or on the bias. In the end she
has it cut scalloped, and every time she
wears it her regret is that she didn't
have it made severely plain.
If your processes of decision are go
ing to halt and buck and stall over the
color of hatband or the cut Of
gown how can you hope to decide the

i. Ask ConSuI-GeneraI to
F.. = Take Up Their Case
MORRIS KE0HOkAL0LE,
POSTMASTER, Is AWAY
Return Awaited of Well Known
Maui Democrat, Delegate
to st. Louis Convention

Complaints that money orders sent
to Japan through the postoffice at
Paia, Maui, have gone astray have
been under investigation for months
by the local postoffice authorities, 1t
was learned today Up to the present
time no explanation Of the reported
disappearance OF the money orders
has been reached by the investiga-
tors, and both, Postoffice Inspector T..
]. FIavin and Frank w. Vaille, chief
clerk of the railway mail service, said
today that SO far the probe has not
fixed either responsibility or guilt.
Morris K. Keohokalole, prominent
Democrat of Maui, and delegate to
the recent Democratic national con-
ventiol at st. Louis, is the postmast-
er at Paia, and the postal authorities
are awaiting his return from the
mainland to take up with him the al
legations that money orders entered
at his office have not reached their
destination. Tie majority of the
Democratic delegates returned from
the mainland weeks ago but Keoho.
kalole did not seturn with them. Ma
tional Committeeman j. H Wilson
said today that he does not know the
Maui mans Whereabouts.
No definite: statement as. to the
amount of money involved was avail
able today. Apetition from Japanese
of Paia arrived yesterday, directed to
Consul General Moroi, asking that the
consul take the case up with the post
office people Six petitioners sent
down their receipts. from the Paia of
flee and declared that the money had
never been received in Japan.
From Maui Japanese comes the
complaint that missing money orders
amount to about $4,000. At the Homo
lulu office the Star Bulletin was in
formed today that number of the
complaints were. not accompanied by
receipts, so that the investigators do
not know how much money is thought
to be missing. Tracing the money or
ders has been made difficult and the
absence of the postmaster has delayed
a first-hand investigation at Paia.
inspector Flacin says that some OF
the orders were issued at Paia many
months ago. One case is said to go
back to July, 1915. Tracing the paper
through Washington as well as Japa-
nese postal officials has proved slow
Job. He said that if Keohokalole were
here the probe would be taken up at
once at Paia. !.

STATUTES HOLD
BACK JAPANESE
BANKING PLANS
New Institution Cannot Obtain
Charter to Conduct Its
Proposed Business

Although NJ. Kawakatsu of the Su-
mitome bank says that he is ready to
open new Japanese bank here, he
adds that he is prevented from so do
ing by inability to secure territorial
license. It is reported In Japanese
business circles that although
article Z of the treaty with Japan
gives the Japanese commercial rights
in this country he cannot exercise
them. The territorial treasurer says
that he can open his bank and obtain
license when he complies with ter
ritorial laws as must any American
citizen. r.. -.
NJ. Kawakatsu came to- Honolulu
with the intention of opening a Japa-
nese Dank as was reported by the
Star-Bulletin. He has been looking
for banking quarters and 1t has been
reported that he secured them. Now
he finds himself unable to carry out
his plans in the manner he intended.
A friendly suit is suggested to deter
mine the matter. His claim for a Ii
cense he bases on the treaty The
treasurer holds ne must meet the re-
quirements of the territorial law as
would any San Franciscan or New
Yorker. ...-- =. .,.....
Stating mis- position in the matter
of granting license for the new bank,
Treasurer C. j. Mccarthy has writ

To- a certain extent this is correct,

DOCTOR SCUDDER
GOING TO JAPAN,
IS SBELIEF HERE
intimations Are His Resigna-
ton viii Be Presented to
Church Next Sunday

Dr. Doremus Scudder, pastor of Cen
trail UnitIl church. has accepted call
to the pastorate of the Foreign church
in Toxic, Japan, rendered him some
weeks ago, according to intimations
which have reached the Star-Bulletin
from persons in close touch with the
affairs of the local church.
A communication from DR.. Scudder,
who is spending his vacation In the
Maine woods, was received in the last
mail by officers of the church commit
tee. This letter, which is to be read
to the congregation of Central Union
next Sunday morning, is believed TO
contain DR.. Scudier's resignation as
well as the notification that he has
accepted the Japanese call
The report that DR.. Scudder mas &C.
cepted the call to japan could not be
officially confirmed today, although
irtimations from several sources
point strongly to the affirmative.
DR.. Scudder is expected to return tc
Honolulu the latter part of this month.
DR.. Scudder has been pastor of Cen
trail Union for many years and mis-
resignation would mean a loss not
only to the church but to the entire
community. A profound student OF
tie Japanese language, customs, reli
gion and politics, DR. Scudder recently
was called To the mainland to take a
prominent part in a nationwide cam

DR.. A. G.. Hodgins was the first doc,
tor called. The woman was rushed
TO the emergency hospital, where Po-
lice Surgeon r. G. Aver rendered first
aid. Now she is at the Queens hos
pital, unconscious and probably dy-
ing.
Suspect 10 Arrested.
The police obtained information
from Mr. Castle which leads them to
suspect Fujifnoto. He was arrested
about O'Clock in his room off Kala-
kaua avenue, about a mile from the
Castle home.
Deputy Asch, who has made COM
plete investigation of the case, for
his report at the inquest, which will
probably be held tomorrow, tells a
concise story of the affair.
Police Report q Trapsdy.
"FuJimoto Is the broth er-in-law and
guardian Of Tome, Asch says, sand j
understand he has tied her up, beat
en- her severely and cut her hair off
because he did not approve of her
behavior. Mr.. Castle took the girl as
a servant to keep her away from Flu
jimoto. and just few weeks ago she
and Moto were married.
Last night Fujimoto gave a party
for four Japanese men and five Jap.
anese women, among whom were
Moto, Tome and her brother and two
sisters. Apparently it was a love
feast to make up old differences, and
Mr.. Castle let Moto take the auto
mobile to carry the guests to and
from the party.
We understand that the party
broke up about ii o'clock. Allowing
Tome and M5to time 10 deliver the
guests 1t must have been midnight or
after before the victims were home
and In bed. They hnust have been
sound asleep when the assault took
place. The car was in its proper
stall this morning.
Chinese Makes Discovery.
All Sing, a Chinese cook, was the
first to discover the tragedy. He
heard Tome moaning and upon In
vestigating was ordered by her to
tell boss.
When Mr.. Castle called us he was
under the impression that the people
had been poisoned and that it had
occurred at the Fujfmoto party. Later.
he reported that there was either
murder or a suicide at his place.
1T couldn't possibly have been
suicide. The couple were attacked
suddenly, left as dead or dying and
the murderer escaped as he had en-
tered, by the only door. There were
large blotches of blood on the steps
Both victims must have been
