HILO, April 30.-0ut at Laupahoe-
hoe there was nearly a double tragedy
on Saturday last when a Japanese
stableman, Ichui, stabbed a woman,
Mrs. Dol, and thiII>.ing that she was
dead, proceeded to his room and there
hanged himself by placing his neck in
a loop made In a long cloth sash and
then taking little jump from his bed.
The man was dead when discovered
by the searchers who were looking for
the would-be murderer Mrs. Dol will
recover, IT Is thought.
The man had row with Mrs. Dol
over some money proposition, the
story goes. and after some bitter talk
he is alleged TO have seized a meat
knife and to have proceeded to cut
the woman up. Some Of the wounds
are rather serious and the woman lost
q lot Of blood However, she will re-
cover, according to the doctors who
attended TO her wounds.
Ichui was a good stableman, from
all accounts, and he was never sus-
pected to be a desperate character In
fact, after, as he thought, killing the
woman. he left a note declaring that
be was ashamed of his act and had
decided to kill himself.

-. WASHINGTON, d. G., April l9. -
Sugar is slated to contribute about
$4,000, 600 in the way Of emergency
taxation. The suggestion Is that an
excise tax Of cent per pound should
be levied. 1t. is computed that this
would bring IN the sum indicated.
As it stands now no definite prOpo
sitIon or recommendation has been
made. Secretary McAdoo sent to the
house ways and means eoremittee a
list OF articles available for additional
taxation, to raise funds made neces-
sary by the war, He furnished an es.
innate of the aggregate amounts that
could be raised on each Of these ar
tfcIes. He nlade no. recommendation
whatever, leaving the entire matter
20 the committee His estimate fol
sugar was $4,000. 900, which would
represent an excise tax OF I cent per
pound. y 49,,
No suggestion was advanced for
higher rate on Imported sugar, Many
Democrats, in addition to all the Re
publicans, favor a restoration OF the
Payne AldriCh rates, but this PROPOSE
ton has not taken specific form The
excise tax Plan does not differ mate
rally from the idea to impose a con
sumption tax. Each would be pay
able on the quantity OF sugar, used.
The burden will be borne entirely by
the consumer and Will not benefit the
producer, II would be simply above
and beyond any degree OF protection
afforded those engaged In the sugar
industry.
In no case did Secretary McAdoei
recommend definite rate OF faya.
ton He pointed out the articles
available and estimated the sum Of
money that could be raised by impos.i
Ing tax on each Of them.

probable revenue that could be real

himself that the German claim of sink

years ago Mr.. Asquith, who gave of his
time freely to newspaper men, refused
to be quoted in press statements; last
week he gave the Associated Press a
signed interview. They know in Eng.

oVerdo the 'savaSery" of using poison
gas to such an extent that when the
press was ordered to discontinue the
elaboration of its horrors, everybody
knew that the British supply of the

now that the story of the first Yep
