CFrom Saturday's Advertiser.)
In the Lee Let case yesterday Frank
Thompson's cross-examination of Chief
of. Detectives Taylor occupied the
whole forenoon. In his
nation Thompson used the reports that
were mae by Taylor to the Sheriff
and the Attorney General at the time
of the occurrences, as they -were published
or summarized in tfce Advertiser's
account of the matter. He
sought to make the witness contradict
himself or to appear to do so, and in
several Instances the witness acknowledged
that his recollection of incidental
matters, was at fault. In the essential
particulars of his testimony as to
the events leading up to and including
the giving of the fifty dollars to him
by Lee Let as a payment on account
for the proposed plan of protected
gambling, Taylor's testimony was entirely
unshaken.
Taylor testified that his meeting with
Ayres at the Queen's Hospital was accidental,
but when his memory was
refreshed he recalled that it was by
appointment. There were several cor
rections of that character brought out
In the same way.
Thompson Inquired as to the fact
that the reports that Taylor made
were seen by "W. G. Smith and "YV. A.
Kinney who was Sheriff Iaukea's lawyer
as well as Dy the Sheriff and the
Attorney General.
Taylor said that he had felt and had
expressed to Ayres that this case offered
a chance to make a record for
himself and the police department.
At the afternoon session H. M. Ayres
was called to the witness stand. He
said that he had seen Lee Let on February
5. 1907, at the Yuen Chong store.
He had gone there with Taylor.
"We were ushered into the back room
of the store." he said, "Taylor, Lee
Tong, and myself, and presently Lee
Let put in an appearance. "We had
some general conversation and then
Lee Let said he understood that Mr.
Taylor had some private business with
him. Taylor said that his business
was not particularly private."
Ayres and Lee Tong then went out.
After Taylor and Lee Let had had
their conversation, of which he heard
nothing, they were all called in again
and then the party broke up.
On cross-examination he said he had
sold Lee Let a pair of field glasses for
$25. He had gone Into Lee Let's store
on February to buy some tea, and
had the glasses with him. Lee Let
saw them and asked him if they were
for sale, and if so for how much. He
replied that they were for sale for
$25, and the sale was at once made,
Lee Let taking the glasses, and Ayres
the money. He was certain the transaction
was a sale and not a pledge
or mortgage. No bill of sale or other
memorandum of the transaction was
made.
At this time Ayres said he was not
employed by the Advertiser. He had
received a cable on the fourth from
the New York World asking him to do
some special work for it and this work
had occupied him until about the
sixth. About this time also he was
the editor and proprietor of the Referee,
and was also the manager of a
literary bureau which among other
things prepared interviews for visitors
to the Islands who expected to be call
ed on for interviews by the papers.
"You wrote about things of which
you knew nothing, did your asked
Thompson.
"No," replied Ayres; "they told me
what they wanted to say."
Ayres was asked by Thompson if he
knew why he had been excluded from
the courtroom as a witness. Ayres
replied that he could guess; that It
was so he would not have the benefit
of hearing the testimony of other wit
nesses. Thompson said that he had
guessed right. Thompson then asked
him about a conversation Ayres and
Taylor had had just outside the courtroom
on Thursday. Ayres said he had
asked Taylor who wrote a certain article
in the Advertiser. Taylor replied
that, being a witness, he could not
tell him. Ayres had thereupon, said
that whoever wrote it had got his
dates mixed and Taylor said he believed
that was so.
Ayres denied having any other conversations
regarding the case with any
other of the witnesses. He denied
having written any articles about the
Lee Let case in the Advertiser.
R. O. Matheson of the Advertiser
staff was the next witness. Matheson
testified that he went with A. P. Taylor
to the stor& of Yuen Chong about
5 o'clock In the afternoon of February
7. He also saw Taylor go into the
store about 7:30 and come out again
about a quarter of eight on February
9.
Matheson made an excellent impression
on the stand, and his cross-examination
by Thompson was very
brief. He said that he had worked
with Taylor on gambling cases for the
Advertiser before Taylor became a
member of the police force; that he
had a commission as a special policeman
from Sheriff Iaukea, and had at
the time of the occurrences with Lee
Let. He had not discussed the case
with Taylor or any other witness.
Officer Apana was put on the stand
and testified as an expert that
was a gambling game. Deputy
Attorney General Larnach announced
that this was the case for the govern
ment. Thompson said that he had not
expected the government to rest so
soon, and asked for an adjournment
until Monday morning, which was
granted.

A PENCHANT FOE MULES.
Kaleiheana. well known to the police,

CFrom Saturday's Advertiser.)
The Boa! of Health held a regular
-meeting y sterday afternoon, at -which
there werv present, besides President
Cofer. Dr. J T. Wayson, Attorney
General Hemenway, D. Kalauokalani.
James F. Jiorgan, Fred C Smith and
r p. Robinson.
Dr. Grac . the Board of Health agent
at Hllo. reported that bids had been
received for the repair and plumbing
of the HHo quarantine station. For
-the carpenter work J. A. C Carter
was the lowest bidder. 5209, and. the
Hllo Mercantile Company -was the
lowest bidder for the plumbing. As
Dr. Grace did not state that tenders
were advertised for. though presumably
they were, tne matter was left to
the presic nt to award the contract
and have the work done.
Captain Otwell was given permission
to tap the water pipeline which runs
through the Settlement and take there-
from about 300 gallons of water a day
for the new lighthouse station there.
Applications for wash-house permits
from Man Chu, Hotel street, near the

near Nuuanu avenue, were denied.
A petition was received from a leper
at Kalaupnpa asking the board to take
his son. a fourteen-year-old,
rous child, now living with his aunt
In Honolulu, and put him In the home
for non-leprous boys of leprous par
ents and provide for him there.
As this petition calls for an adoption
of policy, no action was taken, but the
matter went over for consideration to
the meeting. The boy. though the non-
leprous son of leprous parents, has
never been at the Settlement. In a
general way, the home was supposed
to be for boys who have been until
now living with their parents at the
Settlement. At the same time, the law
does not limit Its scope to such, and
the question Is whether the board shall
decide to enlarge the present scope of
the home to admit boys who have
been cared for separately and apart
from their leprous parents.
Another matter which was held over
for further consideration, because it
Involves a question of policy, was the
application of a man for the care and
custody of his brother, the latter being
In the home for non-leprous boys,

The Board of Health has declared two
cemeteries and a part of a third, unsanitary,
and has prohibited interments
after three months.
At the same time it approved two
cemetery sites, and one of these will
very likely be an accomplished fact
within the three months.
The Board of Health in the past
eight or ten years has several times
come up to the brink of closing cemeteries
but never took the final step until
vesterdav.
The action was taken on the report
of a special committee on cemeteries
consisting of Dr. J. T. Wayson, and M.
P. Robinson, who were appointed at the
last meeting.
The report in its principal parts was
as follows:
Nuuanu "Valley Cemetery Is sanitary;
it has been enlarged in tho rear
and is sufficient for many years.
Makiki Government Cemetery Is in
a most sanitary site. But outside of
private lots, which are vested rights,
is overcrowded. We do not recommend
enlarging or adding a new portion and
would close it as to interments, outside
of the private owners of lots and their
families.
The King Street Catholic cemetery is
sanitary, so far as quality of soil is
concerned on the higher ground portion,
but on the furthest inside portion
sloping down towards Cyclomla park
that was, it becomes too shallow for
graves, quickly reaching water and
therefore we recommend prohibiting
further interments to all that portion
on the inside lower end that will on
excavation meet with water at the regulation
depth required, say six feet,
and that said portion be declared unsanitary
and condemned and closed for
such purpose.
The Catholic Waikiki Cemetery Is
unsanitary and should be closed for reasons
as above cited and existing in the
lower portion of the King street Catholic
cemetery near Honolulu (see
report).
The Kawaiahao Cemetery Is sanitary.
Though evidences prove that this
cemetery has been thoroughly covered
over by bodies buried in the long past,
leaving no visible evidence of the fact;
still on account of the, underlying black-sand
strata which is found there, even
though they have to come across skeletons
in digging graves, it remains sani
NEW WATER SUPPLY FOR THE
MOLOKAI LEPER SETTLEMENT
A new, abundant and perennial
source of water supply for the Leper
Settlement at Molokal has been secured,
or it is believed has been secured,
by an arrangement with the
United States Public Health and Marine
Hospital Service.
The source of the supply Is the Wal-
kolo Valley, on the Kalawao side of
the Settlement. The present supply
comes from this valley, but Is from
a series of springs a comparatively
short distance up the valley. But the
proposed source is considerably higher
up and from a stream that leads from
the perennially rain-soaked mountain
mass forming the backbone of the island.
To tap this source of supply with
an eight-Inch pipe has been a plan for
the Settlement for a long time, and
the pipe was actually bought and
landed at the Settlement. But lack of
funds prevented this accomplishment,
and the whole project would have had
to wait until the next Legislature met
had it not been possible to carry out
the combination with the Marine Hospital
Service.
The United States Leprosarium
buildings are now reaching completion,
and a large and constant supply
of water "will soon be needed. The
Marine Hospital Service did not care
to extend a pipeline up to the source
on land which It did not own to a supply
which it did not control. The Territory
could not do it for lack of funds.
In this emergency, Mr. F. W. Pease,
HERE AND THERE AMONG
THE HONOLULU POLITICIANS
Tommy Cummins is pretty sure of a job as long as Archer, Kealoha, Fern,
Harvey and Dwigbt are in power. They are all on his political paperi
Henry Vida says he was a Democrat who became a Republican because
there wasn't any Democracy which isn't true, because the Islands have had a
Democratic as long as they have had a Republican organization. He also says
he ceased to be a Republican because he didn't get recognition which is also
a whopper, for Henry had ten times the recognition he deserved. Now people
say that he is a Democrat because he hopes to be Road Supervisor under a
Democratic Board which is Gospel truth.
Judge Edings wants to be County Attorney. So does Cathcart. The reform
Republican candidate for that Augean office is yet to be named.
Lane and Jarrett are said to have put up a job by which the former will
get Democratic votes for Mayor and the latter Republican votes for Sheriff.
Democrats think, if Bryan is elected, the Republican Federal office-holders
will be promptly turned out. But this is not the rule. Under Cleveland the
Republicans, excepting those occupying high posts like that of Collector of the
Port of New York, served out the time set in their commissions. There are no
wholesale partisan evictions any longer under Federal usage. That sort of
thin went out with the spoil? system.
It is not unlikely that, within the year, the Prohibition party will be organized
in Hawaii.
SNEAK. THIEF ABOUT.
Shortly after sundown last evening
some prying person, finding the doors
open and no one at home, entered a
residence at the corner of Hackfeld
and Prospect streets and rummaged
bureau drawers and jewel boxes, but
carried off only a few dollars In small
change. At least nothing else was

tary and hardly warrants it being
closed to interments altogether. More
rigid rules for the marking of burial
spots should be enforced by the officials
selling the burial site, requiring material
more lasting than wood for same.
Tho proposed Waialae cemetery site
owned by Gear, Lansing Co., situated
on the east side of Diamond Head,
comprising forty to fifty acres, is very
suitable for the purposo and we would
pronounce same as being sanitary in
every respect and capable of being
made into a veritable beauty spot under
a properly organized burial association.
The proposed Kalihi cemetery site
situated on the west side of the valley,
on the Kamehameha I road, will be
above the proposed School street ex
tension when extended out of town as
far as Kahauiki. Though this site is
outside the two mile limit from the
center of the city, it lacks depth of
soil for digging graves and is situated
within a resident section, which is
against public opinion.
The Kamoiliili site below the church,
represented by "W. R. Castle, is about
two and a half to three acres. It is
strictly intended to be used as a burial
ground for the Buddhist sect, of" Japanese.-
The excavations down to seven
feet show lava scoria intermingled with
larger rock which may require blasting
in some cases. There is no sign of
water to contaminate and in the line
of sanitation nothing can be said
against it, more than a lack of loam
or dirt soil for covering the graves, but
same can be brought on to it if neces
sary from nearby if required. Something,
however, should be provided for
this numerous class of people, more es
pecially when Makiki is closed to them.
A receiving vault should be provided
for this site.
The Board passed a resolution adopting
the recommendations of the report,
and directing notice to be given that
cemeteries and parts of cemeteries declared
insanitary should be closed after
ninety days notice is given.
The cemetery site at Moillill was
approved and those who are projecting
it, the Honpa Hongwanji of Hawaii, a
Buddhist organization, were referred to
the County Commissioners for leave to
open the cemetery there. The organization
is ready to act and if given
authority by the County Board will
probably open the cemetery very soon.
the architect and constructor for the
Marine Hospital Service, suggested
that If the Board of Health would
enter into an agreement to supply the
leprosarium 200,000 gallons of water a
day in perpetuity, he would recommend
that the Surgeon General authorize
the expenditure of the
amount of money to extend the
eight-inch pipeline up to the source of
supply and construct the necessary
works there to collect the water. Before
he would make the recommendation,
however, he asked for an estimate
of the cost and an agreement
from the Board of Health for the supply
of water. The estimate was made
by Superintendent of Public Works
Marston Campbell and was for $4050.
This Mr. Campbell stated was
for the purpose and the depart
ment would undertake to do the work
for that, provided the money was put
at its disposal so that its drafts in
payment for work and supplies would
be promptly met.
Blue-print maps of the region have
been made showing the part of the
Settlement where the pipeline is located,
and of Waikolo Valley, whence
the water -will come. With the head
of water which this stream will give. It
Is estimated that the eight-Inch pipe
will carry more than a million gallons
a day, giving the Settlement a much
larger supply of water than it has ever
had before.
The board agreed to the plans and
directed President Cofer to enter into
the necessary arrangements.

Colonel Sam Johnson yesterday
handed his resignation to the Acting
Governor as the representative of the
Commander-in-Chief of the National
Guard of Hawaii at a meeting held
In tha military headquarters in tha
Bungalow.
The resignation was addressed to the
Adjutant General of cthe National
Guard, Col, J. W. Jones, who was not
present at the meeting. Colonel Johnson
spoke to his officers, saying: "Perhaps
you all are aware that I Intend
this Island for an Indefinite period
and 'or this reason I have tendered
my resignation as Colonel of the First
Regiment of the National Guard of
Hawaii. As the Adjutant General is
not present. I will request the Acting
Governor to read my resignation." Mr.
hereupon read the resignation
which Is as follows:
National Guard of 'Hawaii Headquar
ters, First Infantry.
Honolulu. June 3th. 1903.
Colonel J. "W. Jones, Adjutant General.
Chief of Staff.
Sir: As I am about to leave the city
for an Indefinite time, and will thereby
be unable to attend to my duties,
I herewith respectfully tender my
resignation as Colonel Commanding
First Infantry, N. G. H., and would respectfully
ask to be placed upon the
retired list.
Very respectfully,
SAMUEL JOHNSON.
Col. Comm'g 1st Inf., N. G. H.
Addressing the retiring Colonel, tho
Acting Governor said in part:
"Col. Johnson, In your long service,
extending even to the beginning of the
National Guard In this Territory, I be
lieve that the people of these Islands
have fully appreciated the services
which you have rendered. It is very
much to be regretted that you have
been forced, by leaving this Island, to
relinquish your active command In the
organization, and we all hope that you
may later on return to Oahu and once
more take up your work.
"Your work in the First Regiment
can be well described by one word,
efficiency. It Is very safe to say that
no one man in the National Guard has
done so much to bring the efficiency
of the regiment to Its present standing!
as yourself."
The Acting Governor then Invited
the officers present to speak and Lieut.
Col. Coyne responded In a short and
well worded euloglum of the retiring
officer. And wishing him all kinds of
success in his new undertaking.
Captain A. W. Neely of Co. F, who
was with the Colonel as a private In
the Republican Army was the next
speaker. He said:
"Colonel Johnson, this Is not a pleasant
occasion, in fact I see no smiles;
personally I would much prefer to say
goodby in the good old way; but aa
I am here I want to say this: What
ever pain I feel in parting with you Is ,
more than offset in the knowledge that
you are launching out for yourself Into
what promises to be a successful
and important industry, and further
comfort may be had In knowing, as
we all know, that you are leaving your
military and civil affairs in a most
healthy condition.
"It has been my good fortune to be
intimately acquainted with Colonel
Johnson for the past fourteen years
and during all that time I can safely
say that I have never met a more
honorable, patriotic and energetic man.
In fact, his energy has at times deeply
Impressed me, (until I learned to
defend myself).
"Gentlemen, the regiment Is losing
a most valuable head and may we be
fortunate in the choice of his suc
cessor.
Col. Johnson, I bid you goodby officially
and wish you and yours the
best of success that you so richly deserve."
Lieutenant-Colonel Ztegler spoke as
follows:
"The great secret of Colonel Johnson's
success in the regiment Is due
to his ambition. He was always ambitious;
when he was a private he
worked to be a corporal, when he was
a corporal he wanted to be a sergeant;
and so he went on working for a
higher office until he finally became
the head, the colonel of the regiment.
I remember well when Colonel Johnson
was a private In the regulars, he
came to me for his first examination,
that was for the position of corporal
and he passed the same at 100 per cent.
I afterwards made him drill master In
my company, and when Colonel Johnson
got through with the recruits you
may be sure that they were In good
shape.
"I trust that the other officers of
the regiment will take the lesson
taught by Colonel Johnson of being
ambitious. Because an officer Is not
worth anything if he is not ambitious,
he should be always working for advancement."
Captain J. B. Gorman of Co. B was
the last of the officers to speak. He
said:
"Perhaps there Is no one present here
who knows Colonel Johnson as long an
I do. I have known him for the last
fourteen years. We were privates together
in the old regulars under the
Republic of Hawaii. Colonel Johnson
has been a mighty hard worker for
this regiment. He was a private, then
became a corporal, sergeant, -second
lieutenant, first lieutenant, captain,
lieutenant-colonel and then finally colonel
of the regiment. The only position
he skipped was that of major.
"I am sorry to see Colonel Johnson
leave us, and I wish Sim every sue-cess
In his new undertaking, and, In
fact, anything he attempts to undertake.
While we regret the loss of Colonel
Johnson, we will do our best to
work for the best Interests of the regiment
for Colonel Johnson's sake, for
the regiment's sake and for the flag's
sake."
This speech was greeted with applause
by those present and when the
cheers had subsided the Acting Governor
arose and said, he wanted the
organization brought up to regimental
standard. That formerly under the
Republic it was up to the standard but
that after annexation it was thought
that conditions did not warrant It
longer and the regiment gradually
dwindled down to four companies
about two years ago. 'Conditions have 1

yesterday when shaking hands wlfch
their departing chief, while Colonel
Johnson himself, after a presentation,
had been made him of a beautiful geld
watch, was so affected as to be unabla
for some minutes to say anything la
reply.
The presentation was made on behalf
of the men by T. A. Cummins,
who rad the following:
Colonel Samuel Johnson.
Dear Colonel: The employes of these
two departments, who have been wlthv
you so long, hereby wish to show their
appreciation of the many acts of kindness
and fatherly spirit which you
have Invariably shown them in every
way.
As you leave us, wo wish to express
to you our thanks -for your ever kind,

remember that those left behind in
these two departments will be your
friends as heretofore, and we trust,
that at some time, wo may havs an
"opportunity of proving this to you.
We ask you to accept this token a
a mark of gratitude, and hope that

The presentation thus made and th
sight of some of the strong men about
him with tears running down their
faces as they attempted to cheer, was
too much for the Colonel, who attempted
to say something and failed. After
pulling himself together he thamced the.
men for their expressions of goodwill
and friendship, telling them that their
beautiful gift would be, kept by him as
one of his prized possessions through,
life, prized because it meant a thousand
times more to him coming from
them than if given him by those of
means. He reminded the men of tho
loyalty they had always shown tho
county and asked that they continue
in their loyalty under whatever boss
might come. He stated that for tho
time at least the boss would be
Cummins, uhom they all knew and
who had promised to keep them all in
the department so long a3 they did
good work. He hoped, he said, that
Mr. Cummins would receive the permanent
appointment.
Short speeches were made by David
Crowningberg and by Nigel Jackson,
both assuring the Colonel or the gratitude
of the men for what he had
done and been to them and promising;
to show their further loyalty and
friendship by assisting In carrying on
the good work he had done In Honolulu.
Jackson said that the men would
always regard their Colonel as their
father, and whoever came to succeed
him must content himself with being:
looked uponas a stepfather.
It Is doubtful if any of the sendoffs
given Colonel Johnson will affect
him so deeply as tho one at the government
stables yesterday.
The watch presented him Is a beautiful
heavy gold timepiece, the case en
graved on the outside with his monogram
and on the Inner case the nature

The speech of acceptance and thanks
and farewell made by the Colonel was
an elaboration of the following notice,
posted yesterday at the stables and in
the road department offices:

To the Employes of the Road and Garbage
Departments.
Friends: Before taking my departure,
I feel it a pleasant duty to thank,
you, one and all, in the most earnest
way for the loyal support you havo
given me at all times during our service,
and It Is my regret that we cannot
still be together.
As a personal favor and for the good
of the community, I would ask you to
give the same support ami show the
same good will to my successor.
With best wishes and aloha ta yon
