Shredder
6PArESTED UNDER THE LAw~ -
THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS

Mr.. John \. Scott, Manager
Of the HiIo Sugar Company
gives the following wonderful.
record Of the working Of the
NATIONAL CANE SHRED
DER, which was erected by
their works at the commence
ment Of the crop just har-
vested:
During the past week the
Hilo Sugar Company's mill ex-
ceeded any of It's former
records by closing the Ia
hours grinding with an output
of 3004 tons. This is fully 10
per cent. more than the best
work of former years.
The three roller mill being
26 in. by "a in. and the two
roller mill 80 in. by so in. The
first mill doing this amount of
work. in an efficient manner
and with great ease, compared
with work on whole cane.
owing to thorough preparation
of the cane by the National
Cane Shredder, recently cree
ted by the Company. And
by its use the extrac-
ton has been increased from
3 per cent. to ) per cent. on all
kinds of cane, and IN some
cases so per cent. has been
reached; the average being Is
to Is per cent, according to
quality.
Il continue to find the
megass from shredded cane
better fuel than from whole
cane.
1.-The shredder has been
working day and night for
seven months and has given
me entire satisfaction, having
shredded during that time
about seventy thousand tons
of cane, and large part Of 1t
being hard ratoOns.
THE shredder and engine
require very little care or
attention.
FPlans and specifications
of these shredders may be seen

The Peoples Transportation Co..,
Troubles.


There was a meeting last evening at the
Z.on Baptist Church of about one hundred
stockholders Of the Peoples Transportation
Company, an organization of colored peo-
pie, formed for the purpose of running a
boat between here and Norfolk, Va. As
heretofore reported in The Star, there has
been considerable dissa tisfaction manifested
by the stockholders as to the manner in
which the affairs of the company have been
conducted.
MIR. Daniel Webster presided over the
meeting, and 1t was announced that there
were ninety-eight stockholders present
which number was subsequently, increased
by the entrance Of Mr.. s. G. Thompson
who was looked upon as an adherent Of
President Patterson. There was a general
discussion of the affairs Of the company
which resulted in the adoption Of resoIu-
lions. submitted by the following commit
tee: w. II. Thomas, +. d. Lee, r. H. Kew
X. H. Hunter and Anthony Lewis
These resolutions charged that President
Patterson had attempted to run the COM
pany more in the interest of himself than
or the stockholders, and recommended
that the stockholders engage legal advice
for the purpose of bringing the matter into
the courts. pledging the financial support
of the stockholders in such proceedings and
notifying all other stockholders of such a.
purpose and requesting their cooperation
and assistance.
The resolutions were adopted by a vote
which included about all those present ex-
cept Mr.. Thompson, and the meeting then
adjourned, after contributions had been
made for the purpose of carrying on the
war against President Patterson.
