ANOTHER DENIAL
Mr.. Macfarlane Declares
Hotel Rumor is False.
Mr.. DimOnd Has Lease on Proper
ty-PeaCock Syndicate Still
in Existence.

The rPnor that a beach hotel is to
Waikiki, presently occupied by w. w.
Dimond and that E. C. Macfarlane is
largely interested in the scheme, is
emphatically and positively denied by
Mr. Macfarlane When seen by re-
porter for the Advertiser the express
sion on his face bordered on disgust
A reporter for the Star called on me
yesterday and told me he had heard of
a hotel project in which, he said, was
interested. | told him there was moth
ing to it, and the publication of it at
this time would be premature. l told
him that in a conversation two pieces
OF property had been suggested, but
that absolutely nothing had been done.
81 see that he has it fixed, too, that
the offer of a license to Mr.. Peacock
will be gladly accepted by me. Let me
tell you that the subject of license
was not mentioned by me to the report
er for the Star. nor has it been to the
Government. The hotel project at Wal
kiki is still in the hands of Mr.. Pea
cock, and will remain there until he
decides not TO accept it."
Regarding the Dimond residence,
which the report says will be used as
the hotel Mr.. Dimond said to an Ad-
vertiser reporter:
You may say for me that my lease
on the premises is for three and one
half years longer. and ] have not given

HAD BOTH LEGS AMPUTATED

Shortly before. p. m. the father of
w. c. Achi met with distressing ac-
cident, which will probably result in
his death. The man was a passenger
on a tram car, and when in front of
Capt. A. G. s. Hawes' home, in at
tempting to alight from the front plat
form. he slipped and fell under the
car. the wheels passing over both legs
diagonally from his knees to his
ankles.
DR.. ]. T. Wayson was summoned
and on his way to the scene of
the accident he met DR.. Sloggett
coming up from the wharf, and to-
gether they drove to the place. The
injured man was found lying in the
road, bleeding profusely. He was con-
veyed to the house OF a native oppo-
site, and after his injuries were exam
ined, DR.. Sloggett ordered his imme-
diate removal to the Chinese Hospital.
AS the limbs were ground to a pulp, it
was found necessary to amputate them.
DR.. Wayson returned to his office for
his instruments, and DR.. Peterson tel
ephoned for In the meantime efforts
were made to stop the hemorrhage and
make the man comfortable.
Both limbs were amputated below
the knee by DR.. Sloggett and DR.. Way
son, and in the absence of an operating
table at the hospital, the operation had
to be performed while the patient sat
in a chair. A telephone message to DR..
Sloggett at $50 brought out the infor-
nation that the man had died a few
before.
Motley, the driver of the car, stated
to a reporter for the Advertiser that
the man did not wait for the car to
stop; that he jumped and struck a tele-
phone post The concussion threw him
under the wheels.
A Government official, speaking of
the accident to Mr.. Achi, said: Motley
the mans death, but there is certain
ly no excuse for his allowing the man
to jump off the car when it was go
ing at a rapid rate. [ have seen drivers
of cars laugh heartily at Cinnamon and
Japanese when they jumped from the
front platform of cars while in motion
and fell down. The drivers, some of
them, at least, think this is great
sport. In some places it is against the
rules of tramway companies and even
against the law for passengers to leave
the car, except by the rear platform,
and the same rule should be in force
here. I have seen cars made with the
front platforms closed. I am in favor
of having a law passed closing the
front platforms of the cars here"

When William McCandless tied his
horse 10 a telephone pole in front of
the Christian Church last night he ex-
pected to find it there after the serv-
ice. But it was not, and Mr.. McCand-
less is sore in consequence.
While he sat listening TO the able
talk of Pastor Monroe, and the pray
ers of the good brethren, who asked
that the weak sinners might be made
strong Christians, a man dressed in
black, and who wore white hat and
a black moustache just below, quietly
slipped the halter strap and made off.
The thief drove out Beretania street,
and when he reached his destination
turned the horse loose. The animal
trotted along until it reached the tele-
phone post in front of DR.. Hyde's. A
collision and a broken shaft was the

If the Board of Education cannot make

that. it is very probable that the money
will be forthcoming for further lease.

Michigan Fruit Growers Orpanize.

The fruit-growers at Pentwater,
Mich, have taken the initiative step
to protect their interests in the way of
handling fruits. A stock COMPANY has
been organized with capital of S., 900,
the management to make contracts
with strictly reliable dealers in such a
way as to protect the growers. A de-
tective service is contemplated to in
vestigate all complaints of unfair treat
ment of shippers and cause for COM
plants by the commission dealers
against the farmers for any sharp or
underhand practice on the part of the
shipper. To make the work of the
company effective, farmers are being
organized into local unions. The local
unions report the names of their mem
bers to the company and pay over a
membership fee of one dollar each.
The secretary of the local union ascer-
tains the number of acres and condi-
ton of the different kinds of fruit to
be shipped. All these facts will be re-
corded by the company's secretary who
will designate the markets to which
shipments should be made from each
local union. SO that none shall 20 to
an over-stocked market. The com
pany is determined to secure the best
prices possible for union members. who
are to pay one dollar each every three

Law and Grating.

A peculiar case came up before a.
judge in the county of Huron, Ont, in
which the methods of a professional
CRATER were under examination. Ac--
cording to a report of the trial it ap-
peared that Cooke Of Clinton applied
to Murdoch, a farmer near Brucefeld, =.
to get grating to do. Murdoch asked
his terms: Cooke said cents a graft
to insure. or cents each, cash, and
take your chance, says Michigan
Farmer. Murdoch said, go on; and
Cooke grated thirty-four trees, put
ting on, so he said, s,4oo gratis, at 3
cents each, $102. Murdoch was stag
gered, but paid $40 on account. and
then got some expert evidence, this
evidence being that from 900 to 500
gratis were all that should have been
put in. He therefore, when sued, paid
30 more into court, making $25 witlg
the sum previously paid Cooke, and
fought it out. At the trial an armfuh
or limbs from the orchard was brought
into court, and it was shown that gratis
had been put in decaying and broken
limbs, and, in fact, everywhere a graft
would stick, more for the purpose, as
the judge said in dismissing the &C
ton, of running up a bill than >foa Civ
ing the best results in fruit. The.
judge said that the $25 which Murdoch
had paid was enough, and dismissed
the action with costs.
