ELECTRICITY KILLS
k|LAUEA TENDER

Carl Myers, water tender on the
Inter.Island steamer Kilauea, was kill
cd by ian electric shock received from
la portable incandescent, while working
in the boiler room of the vessel on the
Inter-Island drydock at three-thirty
yesterday afternoon. Although he was
apparently dead by the time the emer-
gency ambulance arrived on, the scene,
he was given artificial respiration by
Hospital Steward +. ]. Stevenson for
nearly half hour before sling was
prepared on which to lower him from
the deck to the drydock floor fifty feet
below.
Upon arrival at the, emergency hos
pital DR.. r, G. Aver continued the artl-
fetal respiration for more than an hour,
but to no avail for the man was dead.
Although it is thought that no H..
than / 10 volts passed through his body,
it is believed that his death was eaus-
ed by cardiac fibrillation produced by
the low tension currents, which is said
to be fatal despite all known methods
Of treatment.

a general oveThauing and Myers was
engaged in repair work in the boiler
room from early morning. he was ear,
rying portable light and the floor of
the engine room was covered more or
less it is said, with small pools OF
water. The shock is said to have come
from the socket which he held in his
hand, the damp floor on which he was
standing, greatly increasing the voltage.
As soon as he was removed to the deck,
the portable light was tested, and the
cket Insulation was found to be damp,
water evidently having seeped in
through the meek.
Neither his hands nor feet were burn
ell aud there was scarcely sign of
him having been the victim, of an elec.
trie shock Nor did the sik'hmpere fuse
show the slightest indication of having
been. burned. His fellow workers are

Of them saying they had received ITO
volts and more on several OCCASIONS.

single, and resided Mt the Mid-Paeifc
rooming house on Alakea Street. He

meeting Of the committee on the prize
garden contest, Wednesday afternoon
plans were practically completed and
about everything is in readiness to be
gin operations. Mcssrs. NOR and Eu
gene Homer were added to the com
mitted. 1#..
The COMMITTEE has charge Of the dis
trict from waimea to the Volcano,
embracing thirty-one schools in all.
After considerable discussion it was
decided to divide the schools into five
sections, making six schools in each
with the exception Of one, and that
this exception should be the Hilo divi.
sion. eat 49,. '.t#
Il was thought that inasmuch as the
schools are more or less interested in
gardening, that the plan should include
the naming Of the principal of each
school in the district, as sub.commit
tee. This will allow for six sub-eom.
mittees in each division, ana as a
means of facilitating matters, IL was
decided that inasmuch as there will be
but three prizes given, first, second and
third that the six principals Of their
section, inspect all the gardens in their
Jurisdiction, finally settling upon the
three best, the object being to save
much time in the final judging of the
gardens. #u
The Prizes
There win be five first prizes, and
one special prize for the best garden
of all The first prizes are to be bi.
cycles, the second prizes are to be
medals, and the third are to be left
to the option of later Developments
There win also be honorable mention

The division of schools was made
by beginning at the Volcano, counting
of six schools, and on through to the
