f . T. Pope
Appointed
Frear Names Him to Succeed
Babbitt.
HONOLULU, January 11. Pro
fessor Willis T. Pope will be Super
intendent of Public Instruction in
succession to Winfred H. Babbitt,
resigned.
Governor Frear this morning sent
Professor Pope's name to the Repub
lican Territorial Executive Commit
tee for endorsation for the position.
Professor Pone, the Governor's
choice out of a host of voluntary and
involuntary candidates for the head
of the educational department, is
" well known in educational circles
here. He is the dean of the College
of Hawaii and professor of agricul
, turo and agricultural chemistry in
..that institution. Prior to his ap
pointment to the Territorial college
faculty ho was for some time an
instructor in the Normal school. Ho
is a graduate of the Kansas Agricul
tural College and was for a time at
Georgetown University. South Caro
lina. Withal the new educational chief
".of Hawaii is a public spirited oitL
?en, his name often appering in
connection with progressive move
ments. His new position will give
an opportunity that can hardly lie
eqalled in the Territory for tho de-
"velopment of executive capacity.
There is no department of govorn
ment in the Territory, having a
greater variety of vexing problems,
both large and petty, constantly to
solve than the educational depart
ment.
" The Republican Territorial Com
mittee met this noon and unani
mously endorsed Professor Pope's
appointment.
Lieut. Rogers
Dies Suddenly
Was One of Wailuku's Most
Popular Officers.
Lieutant Waldeniar II. Rogers
died suddenly of heart failure at
his home in Wailuku on Tuesday
the 1 1 tli instant at about 8:45
o'clock.
He had not been well for some
time but was apparently much
better on Tuesday and reported for
work.
Deputy Sheriff Clement Crowell
declined to allow him to go to work
and told him'he thought him not
well enough to work.
He then went down town and
returned to the residence of Frank
Sonmcrfeld where he talked and
joked with his siBters. He was
apparently in the best of spirits
and remained there until dinner
time and declining an invitation
to dinner went hoir.e to his wife
and children.
Some time after dinner he sug
gested that he and his wife go out
and feed their two puppies but just
as he started he complained of not
feeling right and was assisted to
his bed where he died immediately.
Dr. Osmers was telephoned for
hut life was extinct on his arrival
a few moments later.
Walderma II. Rogers was born
in Wailuku thirty five years ago.
He had been a member of the police
force for about eight years and
during the past three years nas a
first lieutenant.
He was an active ofliccr and most
popular with the public and especi
ally so with his fellow oflicers who
held him in high esteem.
In the absence of Rev.. II. B.
Dodge the funeral services were
conducted bv Rev. B. K. Kaume-
heiwav
Tho police and the Wailuku fire
men turned out and accompanied
the body to the grave.
The funeral was largely attend
ed by his many friends who wished
to bIiow thoir respect to the depart
ed officer.
He leaves a wife and two small
sons besides two sisters and one
brother to mourn his loss.
Breakwater
Gives Way
Unusually Heavy Seas Do
Damage.
On Thursday morning of this week
unusually heavy seas carried away
about fifty feet of the end of the
concrete structure of the breakwater
built by tho Kahului Railroad Co.
for tho protection to shipping at
Kahului.
Some time ago seas of great height
carried away about ono hundred and
fifty feet. The company then built
this up with concrete in a manner
that was thought sufficiently strong
to withstand the heavy seas. 1 lie
conclusion was erroneous, however,
as was proven by the result of last
night's storm.
Tho action of the water proves
that a more substantial structure
than can reasonably bo expected
from an individual or corporation
must be built for the extensive ship
ping of this active port where tho
increase of shipping is a very large
part of the commerco of the Tern
tory.
The United States government
should take hold of tho matter and
make of Kahului such a harlwr as
tho extensive and ever increasing
shipping demands.

A Sunday
Evening Fire
Defective Wire Causes Small
Damage in Office.
But for tho excellent equipment
for fire protection at Puunene on
tho plantation of the Hawaiian
Commercial & Sugar Co. and the
prompt action of the employees of
the plantation and others a serious
loss would have resulted from a
blaze which started in one of the
rooms over tho office of the plan
tation on Sunday evening.
A defective wire caused a fire in
one of the rooms above the ofiico
on Sunday evening which was seen
before the fire got much headway
by Mill Superintendent W. Searby,
Rev. W. Ault, J. H. Nelson and
R. Skaug.
Nelson and Skaug were in an
auto and were the first to reach the
scene and were joined almost im
mediately by Messers Searby, Ault
and Wren Wcscoatt. The fire was
quickly extinguished before any
great damage was done.
The rooms above tho office where
the flire started were occupitd by
Messers II. W. Pogue and J. Mar
tin, time keepers but both were
absent at the time. They suffered
the loss of some personal effects.
The entire damage will prbbably
not exceed three hundred dollars.

that he had received a request from
attorney Coko of Honolulu asking
for the assistance of Deputy County
Attorney Vincent in the water suit
with the Wailuku Sugar Co. on tho
ground that tho latter attorney had
had much to do in assisting him in
the suit and that his services would
bo of great benefit to the county in
tho suit which will come up for hear
ing next week in Honolulu.
Sanitary inspector St. Sure wrote
the Board that tho sanitary condi
tion of Wailuku, Waihee and Wai
kapu is good and that no cases of
typhoid have existed in any of these
localities for some time.
Marston Campbell wrote tho Board
that ho had sent a communication
to the Board of Supervisors of tho
County of Maui that was intended

ing of a Coelho lane.

stray from the island and want a
government pound established there

pass.
Superintendent of Public Works
Marston Campbell wrote the Board
that he thinks it very probable that
he can spare a civil engineer from

a good belt road for Maui at a min
imum cost.
