The quiet of . the little sunlit talley was shattered, and as ihe children ran from the yard screaming In terror and pain, the scores of little houses that border the winding read poured out hundreds of people. Ten minutes from the time that Fernandez emptied his shot-gun, the scene was a pandemonium, the wails of mothers, sisters and friends raising in a chorus of horror that echoed up and down the valley for more than a mile, Behind them, up on the grass or the school-yard, lay the teacher, the back of her head literally torn o:T by the terrific force of the mass u' Bhot poured upon her at a distance of less than fifteen feet The man, one barrel of his gun empty, did not falter In the task he had set himself. Even before the school yard had been deserted oy the fleeing children, he turned back inv a' small house near the school that has served as his home. He walked through he little kitchen and into the small dining-room. There he held the ' shot gun to his head and pulled th trigger. Then, with the left side of his fac torn to shreds, most of his jaw blowi away, his head little more than : crushed eggshell, he staggered or into the yard. There was a little group of pani stricken children huddled near th schoolhouse door, too frightened evci to run. They saw the man come ou; of the door, reel ten paces away, an: then lie down in the grass. Police" ?ind Tragedy Consummated The police, forewarned of trouble between the man and his wife, werr already hurrying up the valley in : lolle auto.

The figures will be based on the remodelled plans, calling for a struc ture of the original size contemplated but with some of the rooms eliminat ed. Contractors found that the orig inal plans required an outlay of $115, 000 to 125.000. This was more than the territory could pay, and the board of supervisors refused to augment the fund by taking the required additional amount from the money belonging to the city and county. Very little material change has been made in the original plans and speci fications, however, the principal re duction consisting in striking out some of the elaborate interior finish ings, leaving them ;or completion at i a laier ume wnen me necessity is j more urgent. j Bids for the reconstruction of the j Punchbowl reservoir also will be open ed in the public works office tomorrow noon.

Breckons, counsel for the government, asks a return of $100,000, and those who have been following the case believe that the valuation which the jury is expected to return tonight or tomorrow will Us somewhere' be tween these two figures. Breckons, in hi3 argument before the jury this morning, said he thought the valuation should not be more than $105,000, while Olson, in hi3 opening address, expressed the belief that the rr.ost conservative finding could not be less than $1.jO,000. The entire morning was taken up in argument before the jury and these probably will not be concluded until late this afternoon. The court's instructions probably will be read then and the Jury will retire Immediately. This is the longest ses sion that has been held in the present case, the daily period being from 8:30 a. m. to 12:30 p. m. It was desired, however, to finish all the argument in one day and send the jurymen Into the consultation room with the features of the subject a3 reviewed and presented by counsel fresh in mind. One more condemnation suit of the Mahuka sciies remains to be carried through the court channels that is to determine, the value of the leasehold Interest In the E. O. Hall site held by E. O.

Seeking Timber For Merchants' Association Messrs. Cur.:.: and Trent, the nom inating committee of the Honolulu Merchants' Association, were the busi est men around toun this morning. The cause of their activity makes something of a story. Nine directors of ihe association arc elected annually, and they elect the executive officers irom among them selves. Last year a clean sweep was made of the retii ing board entirely new b'ood being elected to the directorate. 1 bis was the occasion for some adverse cn'ticism, as a result of which the nominating committee on the present occasion, for tue annual election on Thursday next, submitted to the mem bership a list o: nominees containing i ve holdover and four new names.. To the association membership in general the slate would probably have been satisfactory, but it nas turnea out that the nominees were not all con- t-Llted and some pt mem. ior outness reasons, will not accept me nomina tion. This fact has resulted in the cancellation of the list and the hu t 1'ncr of the nominating committee to hnd nine men that will consent in ad fauce to serve.

The Burnett-Dillingham immigration bill has been reported out of conference and g oes back to the senate and house with ,ts provisions practically unaltered. The friends of Hawaii have lost the first round in the fight to get a special exception made m. favor of the territory, to the clause providing fo r a literacy test. It is against custom to permit such changes as suggested to be made in conference, and undoubt edly the house will decline to make a ny afterat on now. It is hoped, how ever, that at some future time legislation, exempting Hawaii from the oner ous feature of the literacy test will be presented and passed by congress, but there is little prospect of such leg islation passing at this session.
