1873 WAR BRIDES
ON TROOP SHIP
Smallpox Case on Transport
With 4971 Soldiers.

New York, July 2S.-SmalIpox was
discovered on board the troopship
Mobile, formerly the Hamburg Ameri-
can steamship Cleveland, at quaran-
tine. Physicians of the state board
Of health, upon examining the sol
diers and passengers aboard the YES
sci, found well developed case.
The news caused alarm among the
4,971 officers and men of the Fourth
division, the 1873 war brides and five
children who came from France on
board the ship.
The soldiers were landed at Hobo
ken and sent at once to Camp Mills,
where they will be isolated until dan
ger of infection has passed. The war
brides and children were taken in
charge by the Red Cross, and they
also will be placed in temporary
quarantine.
The smallpox victim, is young
Filipino sailor, a member of the crew.
Physicians declare that he most likely
contracted the disease at BreSt, where
the crew was given vacation of ten
days in reward for their work in
bringing soldiers back from France.
The youth was taken off the Mobile
at quarantine.
Army officials say there is prac-
ically no danger of spread of the
disease, since vaccination is a part
of the induction into the service of
every soldier, and every man on the
Mobile is believed to be immune.
The physicians vaccinated the 138
war brides and five children. Many
of them had never been vaccinated
before in their lives.

MISSING GIRL, 6,
WAS MURDERED.
JanItor Admits He Strang|ed
and Hid Her Body.
he is WEAK, WIFE SAYS
After confessing His Crime Murderer
Reveals Body Underneath Coal
pile in Basement of His Home.

Chicago, July 28.-Assistant Chief
of Police Alcock announced that
Thomas Fitzgerald, janitor OF
Northside hotel, had confessed to the
murder of Janet Wilkinson, years
old, daughter of a grocer, who has
been missing since last Tuesuay.
Fitzgerald is 3S years old.
Fitzgerald told the police that he
strangled the child to death and
bnried the body underneath a coal
pile in the basement of his home.
The ianitor was arrested last Wed
nesday and until Sunday strenously
denied any knowledge of the girls
whereabouts.
Later Fitzgerald was taken by the
police to the scene of the crime and
the girls body was found in coal
nile where the janitor said he had
hid it.
Fitzgerald collapsed when he
viewed the body of his victim.
The wife of the confessed slayer
told the police Friday that she be-
lieyed hr husband was implicated in
the disappearance of pretty 6-year-
old Janet Wilkinson. She had been
called from Bangor, Mich, by the po-
lice when Fitzgerald was arrested.
"When 1 received word that my
husband was in trouble, knowing his
weakness as I do, was positive that
it was in connection with some little
pirl - said Mrs. FITZGERALD.
These words came from Mrs. Fitz-
gerald as from her mother. She spoke
of her husband as spoiled child.
She told the police she had married
him when she was IL and later, upon
learning his weakness" as she
termed it, refused to live with him
as a wife, but "to take care OF him"
That was seven years ago, she said,
and since that time she had been
companion and helpmate for the man
she termed a "weakminded child.
The statement came from Mrs. Fitz-
gerald's lips after she had been closet
ed with John S. Wilkinson, father OF
the girl, and Captain Miller.
"Do you think your husband guilty,
then?'' she was asked.
sWhat can I believer" ALI evidence
tends to show that he u.s." she replied
with sob.
"Will you stand by him?"
"What can I do? All evidence shows
that he is guilty. He needs someone
to stand by him."
She then added, after thinking for
few minutes:
However, I can not think Of him
hayieg strength of mind enough to
murder a child"
She said that she had loved the
Wilkinson girl dearly, and added:
There was never morning that I
"a II the girl That did not call Hello,
sweetie, or Hello, darling, and take
her into my room and kiss her. I
was very fond of her."
Here she turned to Wilkinson, who
was gazing compassionately at her.
Wilkinson's glance softened. He muir
mured:
81 do not believe she knows any
thing of the whereabouts of my
laughter"

LOSE A MILLION IN WHEAT
Official Estimate Shows Extent OF
Rain DAMAGE in Delaware

Official Estimate Shows Extent Of
Rain Damage in Delaware
Wilmington, Del, July 2S.-Wheat
growers of Delaware will suffer loss
Of at least $1,OOO.OOO, directly due to
the continued rains of last week, ac-
cording to Professor Wesley Webb,
secretary of the state board of agri-
culture Kent county alone losing $780,
900, while the balance of the loss
easily will be made up in New Castle
and Sussex.
In Kent, the farmers expected a
wheat crop of 100000 bushels. The
so-caIled red rust struck it and cut
the prospective yield down to about
100000 bushels. Probably not more
than one-tenth of this wheat was
thrashed when it began TO rain every
day, and it is estimated that 100000
bushels have been ruined in Kent and
that much of the remainder consider
ably injured.
Figures furnished by Professor
Webb show that in 1917 Kent's yield
was slightly short of 100000 bushels,
New Castles was 77S,320 bushels and
Sussex wheat growers produced $780,
AGO bushels.

holdings, taken in ratio to reputed

John D. Rockefeller, for instance,
is listed as holding but $4,000 in
insurance, though it is probable that
his policies exceed this amount.
Likewise James Stillman, Cornelius
Vanderbilt, Jacob Rupert and a
score more of New York's reputed
miIlionaires hold comparatively
small policies, some under $4,000.
Many of the most interesting fig
ures in finance, On the other hand,
have preferred to keep secret their
life insurance, and are not mention
ed at all in any of the data subjec-
ted by insurance statisticlans. This
seems to be the general rale with
woman risks, as comparatively few
are found in public records, with on
ly one, Mrs. Charles Netcher, OF
Chicago, rated as taking out more
than $1,0O0,OO0 in policies.
A few of the larger policy holders
and the amounts for which they are
listed as insured follow: Gimbel
Bros, $1,5O0,000; w. P. Bonbright.
S1,00O,0OO; SirMortimer Davis, ST.

H. NJ. Byllesby. $1,25O,OO0, and Ju-
Illus Fieischman, $1,CO0,000.
A form of life insurance that has
resulted in large policies of late
years is that assigned to corpora
ton by an officer or employe. Among
such assignments are policies aggre-
eating $1,70O,000 in favor of En-
gene O'Brien and Norma Talmadge,

With Pistol.
TRAGEDY CAUSES 4 PANIC
Four Shots Were Fired by Man Run
ming Amuck, Driving Scores to
Street in scant Attire.

New York, July %. - Running
amuck with loaded revolver, John
D. Rogers, watchman at the San
Reno Hotel, Central Park West and
Seventy-fourth street, shot and killed
John McGoldrick, a porter in the
hotel, and then hid in a closet and
shot and killed Detective James
Maher, of the West Sixty-eighth
street station, who was called to in
vestigate the case AS soon as he
had killed the detective, Rogers sent
bullet through his own brain, dying
instantly.
The shooting took place before any
of the persons stopping at the hotel
were up and caused panic among
them.
Rogers and McGoldrick had been
arguing all night and Rogers went to
the basement of the hotel and re-
newed the quarrel.
He whipped out thirty-eight cali
bre revolver and fired at McGoldrick
while standing but few feet away
from him. McGoldrick pitched for
ward and must have died instantly.
The bullet went through his heart.
Hearing of the murder, Edmund
Brennan, owner of the hotel, tele-
phoned the police and Detective
Mahr was assigned to the case
Rogers had disappeared. Mr.. Bren-
nan invited the detective to his apart
ment and as they entered Rogers fired
shot from within a closd closet In
the apartment. This shot missed both
Mr.. Brennan and Detective Maher,
who also drew a gun. Instantly an
other shot was heard. The detective
crumpled up and pitched forward.
The bullet had pierced his head, en-
tering just back of his right ear.
Rogers, still brandishing the gun
and threatening Mr.. Brennan and
Lieutenant John Ledwith, his brother
in-law, ran to the elevator. AS he
reached the elevator shaft he placed
the muzzle of the revolver to his right
temple and frd.
He died almost instantly. Another
call for help was sent to the police
and several detectives from the West
Sixty-ighth street station were de-
aid on the case. ssz.-ss
Persons stopping in the hotel, hear
ing the shots, were panic stricken and
many rushed out into the Railways in
scant attire. They were reassured by
Mr.. Brennan and the detectives. ..t--
No one around the hotel seems to
know how the fehd between Rogers
and McGoldrick started, but it is adj
mitted that there had been bad feel
ing between them for som time.
The dead policeman was one of the
best known detectives in the city and
was married. He had recently pur-
chased modest home in Woodhaven.
He had been on the force for num-
Der of years and has been prominent

Delinquent Tax
Payers Must Dig

j. S. Gawne. of the Internal
Revenue Department, arrived Fri
day morning. He has a list OF
firms and individuals who failed
to make their returns, and says
he intends to see them all. He says
it will be much better for the de-
linuuents to call on him at the
Lihue Hotel than for him to have
to hunt them up. Delinquent tax
payers are subject to a penalty
running all the way from twenty
five to fifty percent, according to
the circumstances of the case. So
those who want consideration
shown them, would do well to call
on him.
Mr.. Gawne will be on Kauai
two weeks or so and his services
will be at the disposal of those
who desire help on their individu-
al or corporation income tax re-
turns.

wide awake, up-tO-date young
business man and has the training
and experience necessary to con-
duct successful business in these
strenuous times.
During their long residence in
Lihue, Mr.. and Mrs. GrOte l6ve
made many true friends, who,
though rejoicing in their good
fortune will be genuinely sorry
to see them leave.
1t is understood the Makee
Sugar Company will establish Il
branch store at Kapaa in the near
future, which will also come under
the management of Mr.. GrOte.

Furniture for School Cottage

At a meeting of the interested

Lihue Monday evening, it was de-
cided to furnish the school cot
tage, and Mrs. w. II. Rice and Mr.,
McCluskey were appointed COM
mittee to attend to the matter as
promptly as possible. The cost of
the same will be made up by sub
scriptiOn among those interested.
There was some disposition to
undertake the furnishing of all
the school cottages in the district,
but this was finally decided as too
big an Undertaking, as well as,
perhaps unwise in view of the fact
that there is an appropriation of
$1,000 for this purpose.

it is desirable that there be one or
more local posts on Kauai.
The above meeting is called by
authority of the Territorial EX
