ANNUAL MEETING OF THE

One Hundred Delegates From Numerous Civic
Bodies Of The Islands Are Invited To
The Coming Convention At Lihue
Officers Elected For New Year
Many Fine Speeches.
The question of the number of
delegates to be invited from the
other islands to attend the Civic
Convention to be held at Lihue
September 26 and 27 was definite
ly settled by the Chamber of Com
merce last Thursday night, when,
after hearing from its various com
mittees and through discussion,
the decision t o invite an even
hundred, made up as follows, was
reached by a unanimous vote of
the organization:

AFTER ft SUSPECT
Big Arthur McDuffie, Honolulu's
chief of detectives, arrived o n
Kauai Friday morning to see a
man thought to be a murderer from
Boston. Mass.
The chiet was after a man calling
himself Yandell, who had arrived
at Honolulu on a recent coast
steamer and had quietly slipped out
to Kauai in the Kinau suspecting
that he might be the murderer.
He had wirelessed Acting Sheriff
Crowell to hold the man, and in
the wireless gave the local officer a
description of certain tatto marks
on the arm of the Boston mur
derer
When Crowell got the message he
sallied forth and picked up a smith,
who tallied with the description,
had the tattoo marks and had come
over on Wvi Kinau, as indicated.
When McDuffie reached Wai
mea, however, he recognized Smith
fifty yards away as being a fami
liar character around Chinatown
of Honolulu and a very old ac
quaintance of the Honolulu police.
Through Smith, however, the
Chief learned about Yandell, who
had come up on the same boat.
The latter was located at Koloa","
where he had been a bum and
more or less of a nuisance for sev
eral days. McDuffie did not arrest
him. as he was still in consider
able doubt about him; but per
suaded the fellow to return t o
Honolulu with him.
McDuffie and Yandell left in
the Kinau Saturday night for the
city, where the suspect will be
further interviewed.

police of the entire country are
looking for, entered the store of a

JAPANESE BOY
KILLED BY
A Japanese boy named Hide
Ishivama. aged 7, was run over b'y
an automobile on the Kapaia road
at the outskirts of Lihue about
9 30 Wednesday morning, a n d
died before the hospital was reach
ed. The car belongs to K.C. Ahana,
and was being driven bv one Tai
Sam. There were six passengers
aboard, including the driver. The
party had just started from the"
Lihue Coffee Shop, going toward
Kapaia, when the machine ap
proached a waiting auto on the
road and a cart, which it was pre
paring to pass. At that juncture
the little fellow rushed out from
the cane field, among the vehicles,
dodged around the cart and wait
ing auto and ran into the Ahana
machine.
When the chaff uer saw the lad
the moving machine was only a
few fet away too close to be
stopped, although every effort was
made to do so. The boy was knock
ed down and a wheel of the big
car passed across his body.
A police officer was in one ot the
cars, and testified before the coro

gers in the machines. The testi
mony was all to the same general
effect, in view of which the jury
returned a verdict, the closing sen

HUNDRED MILLION
GALLON WATER
For the past week, one hundred
million gallons of water have been
flowing daily through the excel
lent inigating system now com
pleted by the Lihue Plantation.
The formal opening was held
last week, when President Iscn
bcr turned the clock which open
ed the system.
With Mr. Isenberg were Mr.
Weber, Mr. Croppand Mr. Robert
son, all of whom are interested in
the completion of this latest irriga
tion project.
Kauai now holds the recotd for
possessing one of the longest com
pleted tunnels in the Territory,
which forms the mam part of the
system, lhis tunnel extends five
thousand nine hundred and twenty-
six teet thiough t h e dividing
range between Kilohana and Koloa.
The foresight of the Plantation has
never been more strikingly dis
played than in the selection of the
location of this tunnel. In a little
over a mile, the necessary slops
for the water has been obtained,
ten miles of the practically level
country having been cut off; which
long course would have had to be
used, had the tunnel not been con
structed. (memorial service

A special service in memory of
the late Hon, Jacob Hardy was
held at the Lihue Union church on
Sunday last. Rev. 1. M. Lydgate
in charge By special invitation
the Hawaiian Congregation parti
cipated in the service. Mr. J. K.
Lota acting pastor representing
that congregation, in addition to
which they contributed most ac
ceptably to the music.
The main address was made 1 y
Mr. Lydgate, who spoke in part
as follows:
Strong personality is a compli
cated matter. It is somewhat like
a cable, it is made up ot inanv
strands that twine in and through
one-auother so that it is difficult to
sort them out and tell specifically
just where the strength lies, or to
varv the figure it is like a strong
face, where it is difficult to tell
which is the dominating feature
which gives the strength.
Accordingly the interpretation
of the character and personality
of Judge Hardy which I give, bas
ed on a more or less intimate re
lation of nearly 20 years, is vet
tentative and inadequate.
To mv mind the out standing
quality which dominat'S all others,
is that of absolute Integrity. His
character suggests to me the quali
ties of the old colonial type of
architecture, simple, massive, solid,
durable There is another type of
character as well as architecture,
widely prevalent i u these days
which tends to the ornate, runs
to ginger bread work. A type that
is ornate at the expense of solidity.
By and bye the ornate wears off
leaving poverty and shabbiness be
hind it. Some o f these ornate
houses are hard to live in, com
forts and conveniences are sacri
ficed to looks. So some ornate peo
ple are hard to live with. Very
charming on first acquaintance,
but very tiresome on more intimate
knowledge.
And these qualities of character
bear all the significance that the
figure suggests. The absolutely
essential tking about a house is
the fiame-work, the solid, simple,
substantance of the house. The
The whole system includes four
miles of waterway.
Starting at the intake at the
Waiaei river, the water flows into
j the Kahulti stream from which it
enters the part of the system in
cluding twelve thousand feet of
tunneling, eight hundred feet of
fiuming. The remainder being
composed of open irrigation ditch

be sent to the Lihue, Grove Farm,

There are nine tunnels altogether,
ranging from two hundred and

The construction has been going
on for one year and eight months
under the efficient direction o f
Mr. J. L. Robertson.
The substantial concrete founda
tion piers and fiuming heads with
redwood boxes are of a very high
order, and the 50 bv 20 foot wires
for measuring the water are un
usually fine.

sections of the island will also de
rive benefit.
ornaments, the cornices, mould
ings, brackets, etc , may, he moie
showy, but what good are they if1
the frame is defective and goes to
pieces.
The late Judge Jacob Hardy sug
gests the dignity, solidity and effi
ciency of such an old time colonial
residence. With him righteous
ness was the main issue rf life, the
very frame-work of the building
and all these other things, the
amenities of life, honor, lespect,
success, comfort, were the orna
ments, the finishings, very good,
very desirable, but secondary.
The first question in regard to
every issue was the m?ral one ot
right and wrong, and that question
must be settled with the utmost
care, but when once settled there
was no vacillation or indifference
ol execution. He was unswerv
ing in his fidelity to his convic
tions. No desire for applause, or
advancement, o r social promi
nence, and surely no desire for
material advantage warpid him in
the least from the direct path of
the right as he saw it.

The Wests To Leave
Dr, West and family, of Maka

former home in the east and will
probably not return to the Islands.
Dr. West's father, it will be re
called, died a short time ago, mak
ing it necessary for the former to
return east for an indefinite period
on business in connection with the
estate; and he has decided to re
main there. Dr. West is leaving
Makaweli under a three month's
leave of absence, but before sailing
he will recommend that a perma
nent successor be selected.

delightfully last Thursday after
noon with a farewell tea. It w: s

den of her home.
