v- iTjkffl- C 1 J .1 .n n r 1 i v m ESTABLISHED 1904. YOL. 8. NO. 45. UIHIE, TERRITORY OF HAWAII, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 14 1911. SUBSCRIPTION RATES, $2.50 PER YEAR. III r II r 9 I I I u I Of f i I Circuit Court Is Still Grinding The court room was filled with Japanese yesterday afternoon when the case of Nakamura charged with the murder of a countryman, came to an end and was passed up to the jury, which, after short de liberation, rendered a verdict of murder in the first degree. The murder for which Nakamura was convicted was the killing of n camp boss in Makaweli on the nigVof Oct. 11th. This is prob . ably the record for speed of any trial so far recorded in our local court, the murderer being arrested, tried and convicted in a little more than a months time. Nakamura is known among the Japanese as a "bad" man, having for some time acted in such a way as to get the ill will of the entire community. Sentence will be pronounced to morrow morning. In the case of Ter. Hawaii vs. McKeague, the defendant plead guilty and was fined $500.00. A Korean was sent up for two years for burglary, and a Filipino is on trial today, charged with being to active with a knife. Todays Wireless (Special to the Garden Island) Sugar 102. 40.

Now that we have an architect on the grounds what's the matter with having him do little work on that County build ing. We could take the $30,000 out S100.000 which Oahu wanted and go right ahead with our County building, and the money which was allowed for this purpose could replace this amount later on. This would give us at once a building which is badly needed. It seems to me that this might be very easily done. ARCHITECT RIPLEY We are going to give Hauapepe a school built along the lines embodying Superintendent Pope's ideas a s well, as those of Mr. Brodies. Every modern idea in schoolhouse construction will be developed and when finished will be one of which the people will have just cause to feel proud. JUDGE C. S. DOLE W. F. Frear has made the best record of any governor this Territory has ever had. He is inclined however, to be too conservative - a conser vatism to which he was naturally trained by his long service in the Supreme Court, in his advancement of the measures necessary for the opening up of our public lands for the settlement of a citizen popula tioti. ..., New Chinese Flag Floats In Kapaa Kapaa flies the flag of the New Chinese republic.
