new Plan FOR
NUUANU WATER
gets APPROVAL

The new plan of supplying the resi-.
dents of the upper Nuuanu valley
with artesian water as outlined by
Fred g. Kirchhoff, superintendent Of
the city and county waterworks de.
partment, has met with the approval
of the majority of the members of the
executive committee of the Nuuanu
Valley Consumers association. The
new plan instead of proposing to
have the water supply pumped from
Kalihi as suggested by the Nuuanu
men, points out that it would be more
feasible to pumpit from the Hawaiian
Electric company plant in the city. II
carried out 1t is estimated that the
project will cost in the neighborhood
of $4,000, as it calls for the construc
ton of a special main from the down
town district to the corner of Nuuanu
and School streets.
The report on the proposed project
was turned in to the board of super.
Fisors last night but because no
meeting of the board was held the
document will not receive a hearing
until Thursday evening when it is ex-
pected that number of the Nuuanu
valley consumers will be on hand to
emphasize the absolute necessity of
having the project started at once.
Mr.. Kirchhoff's plan in brief is as
follows:
THE daily draw from No. 1 reser-
Vofr is at present 3,260,000 gallons OF
water. The Beretaina street pump
station supplies 300,000,000 gallons
against a heac of 800 feet. The high
lift pump is capable of supplying IS
per cent of the present demand on
the high levels. However, the pump
should not be. called upon for more
than 100000 gallons per day, leaving
an available supply in reserve. This
would mean 100000 gallons per day
would have to be obtained elsewhere
and in order to take care of the future
there should be a reserve of 1000, 900
gallons, making 100000 gallons of
supplied. The first problem is to OBJ
tain that three million gallons and it
is understood that supply to this
amount is available at the Hawaiian
Electric company plant. The second
problem is to pump 5000 gallons of
water to an elevation of 400 feet,
which would require a pressure of 1870
pounds per square inch at the pump
ing station To connect with the
Nuuanu system it would be necessary
to lay an Is inch main from the cor
ner of Halekawila and Kilauea streets
to the corner of Nuuanu and School
streets, a distance of 5,400 feet"
The plan concludes with a list of
streets along which the main could be
laid without injury to the permanent
ly improved stretches. - .

LOCAL GERMAN
slain IN FRANCE;
DIARY IS found

ct is neither for the fatherland nor
for bread that we are fighting, but
for the rich alone, who allow Germany
to die from starvation, while we poor
devils die of cold" is one OF the many
entries in the diary OF Herman Ger
ken. a former Honolulu man, now
serving as a private in the German
army. Gerken left Honolulu at the
outbreak Of the war, and no word was
received from him until several weeks
ago, when his dairy was found IN the
Champagne sector of France AFTER
heavy fighting. The book was pub
lished in French paper.
An interesting statement appeared
in the August % issue of L1llustra-
ton, in which an Introductory para
firaph explains that Gerken was Q,
German agent in Honolulu before tho
war, and that he had been entrusted
with important secrets relative to thu
spreading of the pro-German propo-
ganda throughout. this territory. He
was supposed to have been recalled TO
Germany when the war broke out.
Gerken's diary is dated Easter, 1915,
and the last entry is June,~1917. The
diary is an excellent illustration of the
change in the minds of German sol
diers At the beginning of the war
they were imbued with the spirit OF
the fatherland, exalted at the thought
of German kultur ruling the world,
but during the past two years, since
suffering so many reverses and being
Inundated by their Prussian officers,
they have gradually commenced to
hate kultur and Prussianism. r.
q no longer believe that death on
the battlefield can serve the cause of
the fatherland," writes Gerken under
the date of Feb. 10, 1917. Everything
l recently saw in my country is moth
ing but lies and imposture. If the
truth is to be finally disclosed want
to survive the war in order to know
it" ,-.-\ -.
The fact that America had joir ed
the war was publicly announced to the
soldiers, who were drawn up in their
camps to receive the ominous news.
I'VE received the news quietly and
calmly" wrote Gerken. But every
time / think of it the shivers run all
overme."
Gerken was born in Bremen and
lived in Honolulu for a number of
years. He was teacher in the Ger
man school maintained by the Luth-
eran church.

stations at Boston and New York at 3:30 A. NJ the

First information of the encounter came to the navy
department in roundabout way from the Boston

Fire Island, Boston, New York and some other points
on the Atlantic coast announced the report of the

Mandan, N. D.. April 17.-Evidence
purely circumstantial was all the jury
In the case of the state vs. George
Smith, had to work on when the case
was given them late yesterday after
noon. George Smith Is alleged to have
placed charge of dynamite under the
shack of Horace Ball at Beach, N. D.,
the night of July IL, 1916, and to have
ignited the fuse. About the only di-
rect evidence offered was the fact that
Smith wore a peaked" hat, and a man
wearing a peaked" hat was seen near
the Ball place. Smiths actions the
night of the murder were also ques-
toned. A letter addressed to George
Smith, Beach, N. d." was found near
the shack following the murder. How
ever, 1t was proven that the Smith
addressed and the defendant, George
Smith, were entirely different persons.
The case opened on Monday, April o,
and thirty-seven witnesses were ex-
amined including a Burns agency de-
tective upon whose representations
George Smith was finally arrested.
Smith had had illicit relations with
Balls wife for eight years prior to
the murder, and to this was ascribed
the motive. States Atty. G. L. Wal
>dron, Golden Valley County Beach. and
Atty. S. L. Nuchols of Mandan conducted
the prosecution. Atty. Mark Jones of
Beach and Atty. ]. Il. Sullivan appear
ed for tho defense. The trial was pre-
sided over by Judge ]. M. Hanley.
