Sheriff and Officers
Run Down Murder Case

MY son has murdered his wife !:
send for the police and get him." tear
fully walled Japanese to the camp
boss at Ulumalu between 4:3O and
$50 o'clock last Thursday afternoon.
Substantiation was lent to his story.
for blood flowed from a cut on the
informer's forehead as well as tears
from his eyes. He appeared to labor
under great sorrow and excitement
also.
In haste the camp boss notified the
plantation policeman. He in turn tele-
phoned the alarm of murder to Deputy
Sheriff Silva of Paia, and he passed
the word on over the telephone wires
to Sheriff Crowell.
AS the news spread through and out
from Ulumalu a crowd assembled and
waited the arrival of the officers, and
the three of them, a policeman, dep
uty and sheriff motored up all in a
bunch, practically at one and the
same time. Without delay they hur
ried off to the house of the complain
ant, whom they found seated on his
doorstep in a semi-somnolent condi-
ton. He was asked to conduct them
to the scene of the murder, and just
then the murderer and his ''mur
dered victim" strolled up together.
The crime was committed" only in
the mind of the Japanese, disordered
by overindulgence in "oke." His soon
had slapped him for not attending to
his work and the inebriated man fell
and cut his forehead The rest OF the
story was pure fabrication of the i'm
agination.
Meantime it had commenced to rain
at Ulumalu and the rain became a
downpour. Some slushy night, re-
ports the sheriff. Chains were put on
and the homeward journey was an un-
comfortable one.

Frame-up to Save
Arbuckle Charged
District Attorney Announces
Evidence Presented to the
Grand Jury Which Investi-
gates Witness Tampering.
ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 2O.-Dis-
trict Attorney Brady, following the ad-
journment last night of the grand
jury which is investigating charges of
witness tampering" in connection
with the Arbuckle case, issued a pub
lie statement in which he said:
THE investigation brought out evi-
dence that Miss Joyse Vlark Tabor
Kingstone, Mrs. Ruby Morley and
Regy Morley, the latter president of
an Italian oil company, had discussed
the probability of making some
money out of the Arbuckle case by
framing Joyce Clark to impeach the
testimony of Miss Provost, an impor-
tant witness for the prosecution. 1t
developed that Morley and Kingstone
saw Milton Cohen of Arbuckle's coun-
sci and asked him as to what they
should testify. Brady admitted how
ever, that Cohen said this was 'un-
true"
The United States attorneys office
announced that number of witnesses
who it had been expected would tes-
tify before the federal grand jury in
connection with the liquor phase of
the Arbuckle party have disappeared

of $4,000 per year.
Fridays meeting of the homes COM
mission was, in sense, an informal
one, for the commissions of the men,
bers had not been made out, hence
the choice of Mr.. Cooke was a selec-
tion and not an election, which it will
become at the first regular meeting.
1t was informally agreed that
lands on Hawaii and Molokai which
have been set aside for the next five
years under the Hawaiian Homes
measure and which will not be i'm
mediately used, be turned over to the
commissioner of public lands for leas-
ing. The law has set aside $4,000
acres of land for this colonization pu>
pose, $4,000 of which are on Molokai
and the balance on Hawaii. 1t is un-
derstood that the initial movement
will be made on Molokai, and as a re-
suit the Hawaii lands will be leased
and all of the rental derived there
from will be placed to the account of
the Homes Commission.

Manager of Chronicle
Pays Second Visit to
Pacific's Paradise

For more than a week past w
II. b. Fowler, general manager and
assistant publisher of the San Fran
cisco Chronicle has been on Maui
He returned the first of the week
from trip over the Ditch Trail
While on this Island Mr.. and Mrs
Fowler and Mrs. Ernest Livingston
have been guests in the Wailuku
home of Harry b. Penhallow. Mrs.
Fowler is the daughter of C. b.
Wells, formerly for many years man
ager of the Wailuku plantation.
This is the second visit Mr.. Fowl
er has made to the Islands, his form.
er visit having been about five years
ago. On this trip he is securing a
much more comprehensive knowl-
edge for, accompanied by Mr.. Pen
hallow he made a trip around the
Big Island and has been pretty
throughly over Maui since. He will
leave tomorrow night for Honolulu
and purposes starting back to the
mainland September 80.
Mr.. Fowler is one of the really big
Pacific Coast as is shown by the i'm
portant positions he holds in the
Chronicle company and the Islands
will benefit largely as a result of the
added knowledge of them and condi-
tions here that he will take back
with him. He says that one of the
disadvantages under which Hawaii
labors is a lack of common knowl-
edge about the Islands in the busi-
ness world of the mainland, he says
he is surprised to find out how much
there is to be learned about them
from such a trip as he is enjoying.
He considers the coming visit of the
Press Congress delegates important
to the Islands in that respect.
Much impressed with the scenic
beauties he has viewed on two Is
lands of the group as. well as by the
changes in plantations. the sugar in
dustry and the growth of the pine
apple industry in the five years
years since he was here before, Mr..
Fowler is enthusiastic in his praise
of the Islands and, always their
friend, that friendship will be much
increased as result of his second
visit here. He hopes to persuade
the publisher of the Chronicle to
make the trip over in the near fu-
ture. For himself he has grasped
quickly the essential needs of the
Islands, especially those arising from
the labor shortage.
Mr.. Fowler is a Stanford Univer-
sity man, as is Mr.. Penhallow and
their association during the FbwI.
er's visit is a renewal of old friend
shin Fowler especially notes tho
many changes that have coma to
Maui since the days of her girlhood
here.
Newspapers of the Islands general
ly are praised by the visiting news
paper man who says they are super
ior to those found in communities
of the same English reading popula-
tion on the mainland, He was high
ly commendatory in his expressions
as to Maui News.

LONDON, Sept. 19.-Premier Lloyd
George added another telegram to the
series of messages interchanged be-
tween Dublin and Gairloch, which has
left Eamonn de Valera's search for
formula enabling him to accept the
premier's invitation to participate in
a cabinet conference at Inverness,
Scotland, still unsatisfied.
The position of the Irish question
remains the same as it was Friday
The premier remains firm in refusing
to meet the Irish delegates as repre-
sentatives of an Independent sover-
eign. He declares that unless the
section of de Valera's letter insisting
that the delegates shall act as repre-
sentatives of an Independent Ireland
is withdrawn, tire conference will be
impossible.
Notwithstanding its firm tone, the
premier's message was interpreted as
displaying solicitude for the continual
ton of negotiations toward peace in
Ireland. 1t is thought TO furnish de
Valera valuable opening for aband-
oning his uncompromising attitude.

OF England today, asking whether the
premiers letter of September was

render on our part or was an invita-

The letter of de Valera said that if

Britain's representatives.
De Valera's letter declared that at
no time had the Sim Fein thought of
asking acceptance of any conditions
for the conference. The letter assert

Britain and Ireland and between Ire
land and the British dominions would
end the dispute, forever enabling the
British and Irish to work together in
friendly cooperation in the affairs of
agreed common concern.
