tempted to return to the islands on
the Australia a few days ago, despite
his prescription. He has long been
wanting to return to the islands, if
only to end his days there, but the
Government has been obdurate in his
case. Just previous to the sailing of
the Australia on Saturday Ashford
appeared at the Office of the Occidental
and Oriental Company and applied
for ticket. The company refused to
sell him one, and this for season
raised indignation in the so called
Sparta wing" of the Hawaiian
colony. The company persisting in
its refusal to sell ticket, C. w. Ash
ford, brother of the exiled attorney,
notified the Steamship Company that
they would be held responsible as
common carriers for such refusal. On
this subject John d. Spreckels said
yesterday:
Yes, Ashford applied for ticket
to our agent, and the latter asked me
If he should give it up, at the same
handing me letter from the Hawai-
ian Government giving list of per
sons who had been eXiled and were
not TO be returned without permits
sion. We were also notified that if
we carried any of these persons to the
islands without permission we would
have trouble with the Government.
AS we have no desire to have trouble
with the Government we refused to
carry Ashford. His brother wrote us
a letter, saying that we would be held
responsible for refusing to sell the
ticket, and alleging that he had some
litigation of great importance down
there. We referred the whole matter
tn our attorneys, who replied to Mr..
Ashford's note, and that is the last we
