Box 71 j STORY OF EDITH BORAL WHO DIED IN ARIZONA HUNTED LIKE WILD ANIMAL IN STATES Died in Obscurity Rather Than to Grieve Her Loved Ones One of the Heirs of the Mahuka Estate The Mahuka heirs some years ago sold the property in the vicinity of Alakea and King street, in Honolu lu to the government for somewhere around $100,000. The property was afterward sold by the government for a little more than S475.000. The former owners are now endeavoring to have the case re-opened, with a view of securing a larger share of the in creased valuation. The case is to be presented in Washington by At torney W. B. Lymer. In this connection it may be inter esting to refer to the case of Edith Boral, who was a, neice of Mary Mahu ka, and one of the Mahuka heirs. She was born at Hana, on Maui. She mar ried Robert McQuarrie, a haole, who was by trade a carpenter. Mrs. Mc Quarrie. shortly after her marrige, detected unmistakable evidence that she was a victim of leprosy. She offered to release her husband, but he elected to stay by her to the end. They were at that time living in Wailuku. They hastened to Vancou ver, where her father, a haole, had a store. She said nothing to her fa ther, concerning her sad misfortune, however, and she and her husband left for Los Angeles, where he secured employment. He hoped to earn suf ficient money there to take his wife to Mexico before her affliction was dicovered. They remained there some months. They roomed on North Main street, in the Mexican part of town, hop ing to acquire a smattering of the Spanish language. While there some one noticed the tell-tale brown splotches on her face, and reported the matter to the author ities. The police, who were not ac quainted with the facts concerning leprosy, went wild with fright. They seized all her belongings, including a . fifty dollar guitar which had been ' given to Mrs. McQuarrie' by her I aunt Mary Mahuka, and piled them onto a bonfire built for the purpose in the back yard. They burned not only her trunk, with all her trink I ets, but her suit cases and all her ' clothing except what she had on. j Mrs. McQuarrie was wild with grief and shame, and mourned for days and weeks, after the old Hawaii- an custom. She was seggrcgalen in j a tent on the grounds of the County Hospital, and no one was allowed to go near her. They were so afraid of her that the waiter took her food to her in a basket, which he placed on the ground about twenty-five feet from her tent, and ran away. Her husband was forced by the authorities to leave her. He contin ued to work at his trade. Pretty soon he too showed signs of leprosy. He then stole his wife away in the night, and they boarded a train for Mexico. His wife went very heavily veiled, and was garbed as a poor Mexican woman. When the reached Phoenix, they were nearly famished for food, and went to a lunch counter. There some one who had seen the effects of lepro sy in Mexico saw her face. He re- ported the case to the authorities, and the couple were taken from the train and quarantined in the suburbs of Phoenix. Mrs. McQuarrie died with in six months, and her husband a few months later. Whlla they were In Los Angeles, a resident of Hawaii, visiting there. ' heard of the case, and wrote to Sam i Parker, asking that arrangements might be made whereby the couple 1 eolllil lie til Loll ti, M.il.iknt Pm-bo.- ' through his Honolulu agents replied that If the woman could prove that she had any Hawaiian blood in her veins, he would see that her fare was paid to Honolulu, and said that Bhe would be well cared for at that place until it was definitely deter mined that she had the mai pake, after which she would be sent to Molokai. lie offered also to pay the expenses of a nurse from Los An geles to Honolulu. He felt, however, that the haole had no claim for rec ognition as far us he was concerned. But the victim refused to come, stating that she would far rather die alone in a strange land, than to have her aunt, her uncle, and her father learn of her affliction. When the Mahuka property was sold could find no trace of her, except that she' had left Vancouver. The Hawaii an boys on the Orpheum circuit knew the circumstances, and detailed them to the writer.

Banana Fiber for Bags .1. M. Westgate. director of tb l". S. Experiment station at llmm lulu, says the fibre of the banana stalk is quite suitable for the manu facture of bags, and be is carrying on some experiments along that line, He says however, that the growers are a.-king fifteen cents per stalk, and as it takes a big stalk to to make two bags, the price asked is prohibitive. It is estimated that :.'(), (KM) bunches of bananas are rais ed in Hawaii yearly, or approxi mately 1.IKKI bunches a day. The stalks now go to waste. They would have to be sold for live cents apiece, in order to make bag manufacturing profitable. : o : Preston, the government prosecu tor of the Hindu riot ca.-e, says he expects to prove that Oerinany, through agents who an- indicted for conspiracy, paid s'27,KM) to convert the Maverick into a munition car rier, and equip her for a voyage to India.
