Hughlett said he did not know ex-
actly how the escape happened. One
minute Garrett was seated bwside him
in the front seat OF the automobile and
a second later was easing himself out
Of the car door. Garrett then dashed
down the road with Hughlett in pur-

of his prisoner when he gained the

his manacles but believes he broke
them by sheer strength.

TAXABLE VALUES FOR 1921

The real and personal property as
sessment values for Kauai for 1921
were forwarded to the territorial
treasurer last week and show that the
real property values were 11,693,695,
as against $1O,S15,O15 for 1920.
The personal property values for
1921 were $13,3OS,S6O, as against $13,-

Exemptions for 1921, under the An
drews exemption act, amount to s15,-
$50, In 1920 the exemptions were
$295,1S5.
The net result shown by the return
is that, after deducting the exempt
ions for 1921, there is a shortage in
taxable assessed values of $17,25O.
The only tax appeal case on Kauai
is that of the Hawaiian Sugar Com
pany, which made a return showing
taxable property valued at $3,OOO,OOO,
while the assessor valued it at $5,OOO,-

THE RESOLUTION PRESENTED
BY LABOR. COMMISSION

Following is the resolution presen-
ted by the Senate labor commission
in Washington, introduced June Goth,
approved by the Senate and House
committees:
WHEREAS, by reason Of the acute
shortage of agricultural labor which
now exists throughout the territory
Of Hawaii the American control of
the agricultural industries of the Ter
ritory is seriously imperilled and
whereas in the best interests of the
Federal and Territorial Governments
and of the Territory of Hawaii gener-
ally it is imperative that the control
of those industries should remain
American and should not be allowed
to pass into alien hands and whereas
the Governor and the Legislature of
the Territory of Hawaii have petition
ed Congress for emergency relief
from the said grave and acute labor
shortage which pow exists and which
threatens and imperils the said agri-
cultural industries of the Territory
now therefore belt resolved by the
Senate and the House of Representa-
tives of the United States Of America
in Congress assembled that for a per-
iod of five years from the passage
of this Joint resolution the Secretary
of Labor be and he is hereby EN-
powered under such conditions and
regulations as he shall prescribe to
admit to the Territory of Hawaii such
aliens otherwise inadmissible as he
may deem necessary to meet the
emergency existing in the shortage
of agricultural labor provided that
such aliens shall be admitted only for
limited periods OF time for the pur-
pose of engaging only in agricultural
labor or domestic service, that such
admission of aliens shall not operate
to increase the number of persons of
any one alien nationality in the Ter
ritory of Hawaii so that their number
at any one time shall exceed twenty
per cent Of the total population of the
Territory as determined by the last
census and that the regulations shall
provide for and secure the return of
such laborers to their respective
upon the expiration of the
time limited provided further that
herein contained shall be
to allow any alien admitted
under the terms hereof to remove to
any other place under the Jurisdiction
Of the United States.

SALES AGENCY CUTS
ITS CAPITALIZATION

Notice was filed with the terri
torial treasurer Thursday, says the
Star-Bulletin. following a meeting of
the stockholders of the Sugar Fac
tors, of a reduction in the capital
stock of the company from $4,000
to 100000 and a distribution of a
portion of the assets among the
shareholders.
The step is taken, according to A.
w. T. Bottomley, president of Sugar
Factors, because there is no neces-
sity of a $5.OOO,OOO corporation since
stock in the Crockett refinery is no
longer held by the Sugar Factors but
by the various plantations. The
assets will go to the various agencies
which in December of last year pur-
chased from the plantations their
stock holdings in the Sugar Factors.
The Sugar Factors will continue to
perform the same functions as in
the past and the reduction of cap
italization does not affect the COM
pany's work.

DR.. HAGOOD CALLED TO
HONOLULU BY DEATH OF
MAJOR SHELDON WHEELER

DR.. R. H. Hagood. of Kealia, was
called to Honolulu last Thursday
morning to attend the funeral of his
friend and fellow officer, Major Shell
don Harley Wheeler, who was killed
in an aeroplane accident Wednesday
at Luke Field. DR.. Hagood was a
major in the aviation department
during the war and was a close per-
sonal friend of Major Wheeler
Major Wheelers accident and
death occurred at eight o'clock We'd
nesday morning. Eight planes were
practicing in war formation. Major
Wheeler had not intended to go up
that morning but at the last moment
decided to do so, relieving Captain
Johnson. Just after he had taken
off and was about fifty feet in the
air the gasoline flow was evidently
cut off, stalling the engine. The ma
chine fell instantly to the ground. 1t
was too near the earth to be control
led. AS soon as it hit the ground
the gasoline tank exploded, envelop-
ing Major Wheeler and his mechanic,
Sergeant Thomas A. Kelly, in flames.
Both men were instantly killed.
Major Wheeler graduated from
West Point in 1914 as a second lieu
tenant. He was always greatly in
terested in aeronautics and was pro-
NOTED to a first lieutenancy IN Jan
uary 1917 and attached to the avia-
tion corps. In June of that year he
received his captains commission.
Later in the year he was sent over
seas where he made an enviable rec
ord for himself. A little over a year
ago, July l, 1920, he was made
major. At the time of his death he
was commandant of Luke Field.

Old Time Japanese
Drowned AT Haena

X. Sharashi, one of the old time
japanese who has been on Kauai for
the past thirty-eight years, was
drowned at Haena last Monday.
Sharashi and number of his friends
were bathing and fishing at the
Haena beach. He got into a current
that was too strong for him and was
carried out to sea-
Sharashi was a rice planter. He
had just finished planting his rice
rcop for this season. AS a number
of his friends had also just got their
crop in they all decided that they
would celebrate with a fishing trip.
They went to Haena Sunday night
and spent most of the night fishing
for crabs with torches and spears.
The next morning they decided that
they would go farther out onto the
reef and try for ulua with glass boxes
and dong spears. 1t was at this
that swept him under. His friends
tried to rescue him but were unable
to do so until after he was lifeless.
Sharashi was 6S years old at the
time of his death. The first twenty
years that he lived in Hawaii were
spent on various plantations on Kau
al. He was at various times on Nc
Bryde, Lihue, Kliauea and the old
Princeville plantations. Shortly af-
ter the Princeville Plantation ceased
raising sugar cane he went into the
rice business for himself and has
been a successful planter ever since

Diving Exhibition
Enteftains Passengers

Living up to her reputation of hav-
ing the happy faculty of always doing
the unexpected, Miss Adelaide Nc.
Connell, better known as "Midge",
entertained the departing passen-
gers and their friends at the Nawil-
will landing last Tuesday evening by
doing an Annette Kellerman into the
harbor. Her efforts consisted of
beautiful back dive off the wharf into
about ten feet of water. For mo-
ment it appeared that things might
result seriously and Mr.. Broadbent
and Tommy Soper dove in to help
her. Midget had no trouble in keep
ing afloat and was rescued without
much difficulty.
The cause of her plunge was the
fact that she was so interested in
watching the men load the Advertiser
Pilot car onto the boats that she did
not notice that she was backing off
the wharf. When she did her
plunge she was carrying her purse
and bag that contained Jimmy
Cases food and change of clothing.
Jimmy was accompanying his mother,
Mrs. A. H. Case, on trip to Maui
AS she came to the surface without
the purse and bag it was necessary
for some of the Hawaiian boys who
were swimming near the wharf to do
some deep sea diving to recover
them. All were recovered eventually
although Jimmy's ration of milk was
spoiled by the salt water and he was
quite a hungry boy by the time he
arrived in Honolulu.
The fact that she was soaking wet
did not stop Midget" from taking
her trip to Honolulu, and wrapping
herself in some shawls that were
loaned by friends she boarded the
Kinau as though she was in the
habit of falling into the harbor every
time she went to Honolulu.
Captain GregorS says that he re-
fues to be startled by Midget" any
more and that he really expected her
to pull something of the sort as her
trip to Kauai on the Kinau was with
out incident.

AHUK|N| PROJECT
WELL UNDER WAY

Considerable activity marks the
work on the breakwater for the Ahu.
KIM Terminal and Railway Company
The locomotive crane has been busy
for the past month laying the rocks
for the breakwater and the first fifty
feet has been completed. This
brings the stone to the edge of the
water and the work of laying the
rock under water will begin at once.
The completed breakwater will ex-
tend out about three hundred feet
from shore.
The company has been very for
tunate in that they do not have to
do any quarrying as they are able
to get stones of all shapes and sizes
along the coast on the Lihue side Of
Ahukini. A former piledriver has
been rigged into a derrick and a rail-
road built along the shore so that
all that is necessary for them to do
is to swing the rocks onto flatcar
with the derrick and run the cars
into position behind the locomotive
crane. This crane then places the
stone in position in the breakwater.
The stones are not dropped in
position in any haphazard manner,
but are carefully placed and the
n n xS hQf ha cfa
filled with small rock Those rocks
that are placed below the water line
are just dumped in, but when the
breakwater comes within five feet
of low water mark then they must be
placed carefully. The larger rocks
weigh from four to eight tons and
at times as high as twelve tons.
1t was hoped to finish the break
water and terminal about the first of
the new year but it appears now that
it will take longer and will not be
finished until two months or so later.
1t will be necessary to place about
two hundred tons of stone a day to
those in charge believe that this
amount is little large to be placed
properly.
The wharf is expected to be COM
pleted about the same time as the
breakwater. 1t will be two hundred
and fifteen feet long. The tonnoge
of the ships that are expected to tie
up in Ahukini will not exceed three
thousand tons.
1t would be of great benefit to
Kauai if it could be arranged with the
Inter Island to have their ships load
and discharge passengers at Ahukini
upon completion of the project. Any
method that would do away lightering
of passengers would be greatly well
coined not only by local people but
the tourist as we'll. Although it
may be unusual and picturesque the
discomfort of it in rough weather
more than offsets the novelty of it.
The locomotive crane that is being
interesting history, as it is the first
of it's kind to be brought to the Ter
ritory. 1t was first used on the Hilo
breakwater and upon completion of
that work was taken to Kahului and
used on that breakwater The Ahu-
KIM Terminal and Railway Company
then bought it and brought it to
Kauai to build the local breakwater.
Kauai has been indeed fortunate
in regard to improvements to har-
bors within the last year and with
the completion Of the Ahukini and
projects will have two ex-
cellent harbors where formerly there
were none.
