The Advertiser of Saturday has the following account of the clos ing hours of the Prince's life: ,Tho closing hours of Prince Ku hio's life were peaceful. Ho was in an unconscious state for some tims. due partly to an opiato admlnister . ed early in the evening to ease tho pain caused by tho pressure upon the heart, duo to congestion of the lungs. , As the sun closed on his final day thero was a turn for the worse and the physicians in attendance, Dr. Chris O'Day and Dr. A. K. Hanchett, wero doubtful of his sur viving the night, inasmuch as he began to suffer extreme pain in the region of the heart. He expressed his suffering in groans. His breathing was labored. Ho sat propped up in an arm chair. He was unable to speak. As the moments sped on the doctors found that tho patient's condition was " alarming. It was seen then that his hands were turning slightly bluo SudJonly there was a cry of ag ony and 'the Prlnco started up from his chair and rushed toward the upon the lanai facing Kalakaua av: enue. He was eased back into his chair. The doctors ascertained that his supremo moment of agony was caus ed by hemorrhage. The blood re mained within the body. X-Ray Shows Aneurism They knew exactly what had hap pened, as an X-ray taken the day before disclosed aneurism of the heart, with the artery from that or gan greatly distended, almost to bursting. There was another hem orrhage. His breathing was almost blocked and then, just as suddenly, breathing became easier, although the pain did not subside. Rather than have the Prince con. tinue to suffer, an opiato was ad ministered. He was complaining then that there was no feeling in his feet. It was felt then that tho blood clot might surface over tho punc ture. Tho opiate gradually bocamo ef fective and tho Prlnco dropped off Into sleep. Tho pulso was slight. At midnight tho doctors said that the Prince would survive tho night THRIFT WEEK COMMITTEE MEET AND ORGANIZE Tho general committee of the Thrift Week campaign held a meet ing last Wednesday afternoon at Mo kihana hall in Llhuo, for the purpose of organization, appoint ing special committees and arrang ing tho details of tho campaign.

Hawaii and Dele o'clock, Saturday morning at had been ill some weeks and to his bed under the care of improve, so much so that his able to take a steamer for the whtire he was to enter a sanitar Prince grew suddenly worse and he passed away at 2:.'57 o'clock only by a miracle. At 2 o clock the report camo from the Prince's clfamber that the breathing was apparently not so dif ficult, that the finger nails were be coming pink again and the pulse better. At that ihour there were many friends of the Prince and Princess in the 'home, some in and near the Prince's chamber i others downstairs. 1 here w.ero Hawaiians present who had always been close to the royal family. All indications ' pointed to approaching death. Desired Modest Funeral It is known that the Prince had expressed a desire for a modest funeral and even had said that ho did not care for a state funeral such as has been accorded to all members of the royal family. The wishes of Princess Kalaniana ole had not been obtained, but it is known that the Hawaiians, who dearly loved their Prince, have ex pected that a state funeral, in keep ing with their titular rank of the old monarchy, such as had been giv en to Queen Liliuokalani, his broth or Prince David Kawananakoa, Prin cess Kaiulanl and Dowager Queen Kaplolani, all of whom died after tho monarchy was overthrown. Only on Monday., the Prince, disre garding the instructions of his phy sicians, motored out from Waikiki to the Country Club, walked over the links and then watched tho foot ball game at Punahou, but had a bad niglit. The following day it was decided that he was suffering from a malady not yet discovered and tho X-ray for which Dr. Hanchett had asked disclosed tho heart trou ble. Tho Prince began to improve and only yesterday afternoon took a turn for the worse. The Prince will be buried in the Kaplolani crypt at the Royal Mau solemn in Nuuanu valley. Twenty Years in Congress For twenty years he has ropre sonted Hawaii at Washington. In politics he was Republican. His crowning effort at Washington was securing tho passago by Congress of the Hawaiian Homes net, under which ho hoped to rehabilitate the fast dying-out Hawaiian raco by putting them back on the soil to grow up with homes of their own in healthful surroundings. THANKS OF COURT EXTENDED TO GRAND AND TRIAL JURORS FOR 1921 "I am sorry that tho grand and trial jurors of this circuit for the term of 1821 now expiring, are not present in court so that I could toll them, personally how well I think they performed their duties during the year which ended," Judge Achi told the Garden Island yesterday. "However, I wish to convey my thanks to them through the Gar den Island. Both the grand and trial jurors of this court assisted materially in the conduct of the business of the criminal division during the past year. Thoy did ex cellent work, understanding and faithfully, performing their duties as citizens for the common good. "It being impractical at this time to try further cases before a jury, since the 1921 term of this court expires by limitations this woek, both the grand and trial jurors for tho term now ending are hereby excused from further duty, and dis charged finally for the term, with tho thanks of tho court." Mrs. C. B. Hofgaard desires to express her thanks in behalf of the Near East Relief to tho people of Waimea district for thoir genorous donation of clothing, all of which has been shipped. John Hansen, Lihuo contractor nnil lmllilmv snont his holidays watching football games, boxing and wrestling bouts in Honolulu, no re turned to Llhuo on tho last Claud inc. J. S. Ornellas, proprietor of tho Kauai Trading Co., returned to his duties last weok end aftor a Now Years' trip to Honolulu. . PROCLAMATION Jt is with profound narrow that the Governor of JIa waiUannounccs the death on January 1th, VX22, of Prince Jonah Kuhio alanhinaole, delegate to Congress from this territory. The passing of the Prince arouses all those inspiring1 sentiments associated with the death of a leader at his post of duty. Prince Jonah Kuhio Kalaniunaolc was sincere, loyal and courageous, and he possessed the peculiar kindness of heart distinctly Hawaiian that is identified, interpreted and. glor ified in Hawaii's Aloha. , , Ah a member of the Royal family of Hawaii he main tained the dignity of his station with refined freedom from ostentation. He understood the developing forces of the Pa cific and was solicitous of the welfare and the highest type of progress for his people. Without sacrificing his pride of race or of nationality that had been merged in the great Union of States, he teas a whole-souled American. The best expression of the sincerity of our sympathy that can be given to his beloved Princess and of our Aloha to the leader that all Hawaii loved, is a pledge to carry on his work and follow out the high hopes he had for service to his people. The body will lie in state in Kawaiuhao Church from Monday, January Uti to Saturday, hWi, 11)22 inclusive, and the last rites will bo performed in the Throne Room of the Palace on Sunday, January lath', 1!)22, giving opportunity to the people of Haicaii to pay tribute to the memory of their beloved Prince. Jt is requested, that Hawaiian and American flags be half-masted on all public buildings of the Territory during the time of lying in state and during the funeral. j JN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused tho Great Seal of the Terri tory tolbc affixed.

DROWN, Secretary of Haicaii. Kauai Chamber Deplores Move To At a special meeting of the Ka- ual Chamber of Commerce held at tho Lihue courthouso last Friday afternoon, the all-Kauai body unan imously passed resolutions deplor ing tho proposed reduction of tho Cuban sugar tariff and petitioning Congress to maintain as high rates as exist at present. Tho chamber also endorsed tho petition to Con gress that the territory bo granted Asiatic labor in view of our pres ent labor crisis. Tho meeting was called to order by President H. D. Wishard at 3 o'clock. This being a special meet ing, tho minutes of tho last meet ing were not read. Tho chamber got right down to brass tacks. A letter was read from tho Chamber of Commerce of Honolulu stating that that body had passed a number of resolutions concerning tho present tariff and the proposed reduction of Cuban sugar tariffs and asking that the Kauai body tako such ac tion as it saw fit. A copy of tho resolution was read. It was evident that tho Kauai chamber was of tho same opinion as tho Honolulu chamber. As soon as the secretary had finished read ing tho resolutions. Sheriff W. H. Rice Jr., made a motion that the Kauai Chamber of Commerco pass tho same resolutions. His motion was secondedi by Hon. C. A. Rice and unanimously passed. The resolutions are as follows Whereas, from the press dispatch es and other sources of information, it appears that a powerful effort Is being made to prevail upon tho ad ministration at Washington and tho Congress of the United States to grant a reduction on tho prevailing rate of tariff on Cuban sugars, in order to relievo (he present finan cial distress in the Cuban republic; and Whereas, It appears to this cham ber that tho proponents of this movement are actuated by a desire to avert industrial disaster In tho Island of Cuba, without regard to tho effort that such lowering of tar iff will have on tho homo Industry; and Whereas, in spite of tho present tariff protection tho domestic pro- ducors of sugar in tho United States Cut Cuban Tariff are at tho present moment, strug- gling to carry on their industry through tho present period when the production cost is in excess of market value, duo to over-produo tion) anticipating a time when tho natural law of supply and demand will restoro the industry to a nor mal basis; and Whereas, carrying on, under theso conditions, is at tho present time straining the resources and finan cial strength of tho domestic pro ducers almost to tho breaking point, and the industry can only regard with grave concern, any proposal in volving the reduction of the pres ent tariff protection against Cuba, which would beyond question ruin tho homo producer with his high cost of operation in all departments, his income tax obligations and his home labor problems, resulting ev entually in extinction of tho home producer nnd placing Cuba in tho position of monopolizing the Ameri can sugar market; and Whereas, Tho Kauai Chamber of Commerco representing a commun ity whose industries are at least SO per cent dependent on sugar produc tion views with alarm the forego ing facts: Therefore, Bo it Resolved, that tho President of the United States und the Congress of the United Stales bo petitioned by this chamber to maintain tho present tariff on for olgn produced sugars as a necessary protection to tho home producer, a nucleus of homo production being also nn essential safeguard to the protection of tho American consum er against a control of tho sugar trado by foreign producers. Resolved, thereforo, that copies of this resolution be transmitted to tho President of tho United States; tho President of tho Senato; and the speaker of the House of Re presentatives; the chairman of tho finance committco of tho House of Representatives; tho chairman of tho finance committee of tho Sen ato; Herbert C. Hoover, the secrcr tary of commerce; our delegate to Congress and tho representative of tho chamber in Washington. H. D. Sloggett of Llhuo then read some correspondence ho had re cently had with James A. Rath of Honolulu relative to a petition to Congress for additional Asiatic labor at this timo. Mr, Rath had asked Mr. Sloggott to head a Kauai com mittee to get this petition clrculat ed over Kauai and to cot it slim ed by as many pooplo wished to do so. K. C Hopper made a motion that tho Kauai Chamber of Commerco ondorso this petition and help as much as possible In tho circulation fo it. His motion was seconded by ueorgo liwart Jr., and unanimously passed. Mr. Sloggott then requested I men from tho various parts of tho 160 FEET OF BREAK WATER COMPLETED Ono hundred and sixty feet of the Nawlliwlli breakwater havo already beer completed, Stones havo been partially laid fori another -10 foot, and tho prospects for tho work going ahead at a moro rapid rato from this timo on are very good. During tho month of November 3,000 tons of rocks were, placed in tho breakwater. December saw an additional 5,250 tons laldt making a total of 8,750 tons for tho two months. As tho work progrosoa and as the foundations are completed the whole affair gains empetus and speed. It is likely that as much work will bo done in u single month as was completed In any two months heretofore. At present Carter's point is be ing cut away and tho big stones used in tho breakwater. A stono must weigh at least eight tons to bo used either on tho sea side or as a cap rock. Stones weighing not less than throe tons may be used on ihe harbor side. In tho center of the I breakwater and at a point three below tho water lino smaller rocks may bo safely used. Stones weigh ing between 22 and 25 tons have been quarried and put in tho work. Tho big shelves of rock are first blown off with powder. At tho time tho reporter visited the work CO cans of black powder weighing 25 pounds each were being placed un der ono ledgo. At quitting timo tho charge will be exploded and rocks and dirt for next day's work will be pried loose. The heavy rains of the. past few days havo done considerable dam- ago to tho roads. Considerable quantities of sticky adobe soil have been washed down on tho road from above, making it necessary for Superintendent Garlinghouse to put several men to clearing of tho debris. In other places tho road was washed out, necessitating con siderable filling. This work is being done by day labor rather than by contract. Sinco about half of the material and work ing tools were donated to tho pro jeet from tho surp'lus army equip ment purchased during tho war, It is likely that this form of labor will bo less expensive. A contractor would havo to spend considerable In the initial layout before ho could start work. Tho railroad Is nil standard gauge and this Is necessary on account of the heavy and cumborsomo cranes that move over and work on tho tracks. This gives Kauai tho distinction of having tho only standard gauge railroad in tho ter ritory. 4 J. K. LOTA, NEW DEPUTY SHERIFF FOR HANALEI Rev. ,James K. Lola, at present pastor of the Hawaiian church at Kohala, Hawaii, has accepted tho commission of deputy sheriff for tho district of Hanalei, recently loft vacant by tho death of William Wer ner. Mr. Lota will arrlvo on Kauai on tho 10th of Fobruary to take charge ol his office Sheriff William Rico expresses great atisfaction in having senured tho acceptance of Mr. Lotn to this office and Is satisfied that tho ap pointment will meet with gonoral approval of tho residonts of Hana lei district. Rov. Lota is a Kauai boy, having been born and roared in tho district ho is now to serve as its deputy sheriff. Ho entered tho ministry several years ago and has been do ing a wonderful work among his people. Island to volunteer their services in getting tho signatures. Tho num ber that imemdlately responded was good ovldenco that n real need is felt for tho additional labor nnd that tho petition will bo well re ceived. II. I). Sloggett called tho cham ber's attention to tho - M. C. A. thrift campaign and asked for nn appropriation to help carry It on. But as tho mooting was a special one, his suggestion was ruled out of order. Tho chamber gavo ovldenco of Its willingness to help In tho matter hdwever and thero Is llttlo doubt but that If this subject is brought up in tho next regular meet ing it will meet with hearty ap proval. Miss. C. Adalnlde Barker, form erly Probation officer of this island loft hero on last Tuesday to accept a position in Welfare work on tho Island of Hawaii, AHUK N RAILWAY I LOAD OF PINES The Ahuklnl Terminal ami Rail way company has now completed its track so that It can ship sugar directly from Kealla and plnoapples from the Hawaiian cannery at Ka paa to tho wharf at Ahuklnl. Tho steamship Claudino took its first load of pineapples from Ahuklnl last Saturday, carrying 6,130 cases of Kauai fruit. Up until Saturday night 7,200 cases have been trans ported from Kapaa to Ahuklnl, tho surplus remaining in tho wurehouse until the next boat. This railroad now connects Li hue plantation milL tho Hawaiian cannery and tho Kealla plantation with Ahuklnl. This means much to tho various shippers of sugar and pineapples using this facility. The cost and labor handling goods whero tho steamer can come direct ly up to tho wharf is materially lessened. COUNTY CONVENTION OF Y. M. C. A.
