TROUBLESOME laps.
Look For Trouble at Ice Cream
ParlOrS and Get it.


At about $50 o'clock last night seven
Japanese, most of whom were in a
rather hilarious mood, walked into the
Elite Ice Cream Parlors to get some
selves in the big room, called for and
obtained what they wanted, and then
started operations. The contact of cold
with heat seemed to cause a disturb
ance, for the Japanese Immediately be-
gan to make a great noise, kicking and
stamping their feet, and finishing by
breaking the spoons of the establish
ment. Charlie Ludwigsen, the clerk,
interfered at this point and told the
Japanese he expected them to behave
like gentlemen.
They were on their feet at once ready
for any kind of fight. Well. they got
it. Mr.. Ludwigsen was contemplating
what TO do when Henry Espinda, one
of the most wiry and agile of the po-
lice officers, happened TO step in for a
cup of coffee. He was dressed in citi-
zen's clothes, but had his badge on the
inside. Henry was appealed to for
help in Kidding the establishment of
the troublesome customers.
Espinda walked up to the Japs and.
showing his badge, told them what was
expected of them. One of the fellows
walked up to the police officer and
wanted to fight. Espinda gave him just
what he called for, and the fellow
went sprawling on the floor This was
a signal for the whole gang to jump
at the police officer, who, singIe-hand-
ed, sent the subjects of the Mikado
flying in various directions. Holding

If the Jewel stove had not
met with popular favor in
Honolulu, we would not
have ordered the second
time. Since we opened
business in our present
quarters, less than fourteen
months ago, we have sold
400 Jewel stoves. By the
w. H. Dimond which arriv-
ed on Thursday, we receiv-
ed 40 of different sizes. 1t
constitutes one car load di-
rect from the factory; another
lot will be here in a week.
This is without exception,
the greatest fuel saver that
has ever been imported to
the Islands. The JEWEL is
made on the best stove prin-
CipleS and saves money to
the purchaser. They are low
in price and made to wear
every piece of the stove may
be duplicated and in this way
it will last forever. 1t is
cheaper to buy a single cast
ing than a whole stove.
We sell them for cash, al
lowing 5 per cent. discount.
We also sell them, as before,
on the contract system, the
purchaser paying one-third
in cash, the balance in five
equal monthly payments.

NEW RESIDENCE LOTS.
TrousSeau Farm Subdivided and
Sold on Easy PAYMENTS.


When A. V. Gear purchased the os-
trich farm at Kapiolani Park some
people thought he paid too much for it.
But Mr.. Gear has a keen foresight, and
was to subdivide the tract into lots
suitable for building purposes and sell
them on plan that would enable peo-
pie of moderate income to purchase.
Yesterday afternoon he finished a
rough plan of the property and found
he had in the neighborhood of 400 lots,
each so feet front, and varying in
depth from 100 to 200 feet, the deepest
being on the town and mauka end OF
the land. He gave it out to one or
two friends that he would put the lots
on sale next week, and would charge
$50 for each lot, the payment to be
made weekly at 81 each, the purchaser
to be at no expense for deeds. He said,
also, that he believed water mains
would be laio on the property within
six months and the streets running
through would be of uniform width
of so feet. AS a result of this infor-
nation being communicated to others,
Mr.. Gear was obliged to remain in his
office until nearly midnight marking
off lots selected by persons who want
ed to get into what they consider a
good thing. In all, so lots were sold
last night, and it is probable that
twice as many will be sold today. The
land is convenient to Kapiolani Park,
and the lower portion of it fronts on
Campbell avenue, which connects with
Moiiliili road.
The land is said to slope gradually
from mauka to makai and is of good
quality. 1t is quite free from rocks and
lantana. An excellent view of the val
legs around Honolulu is obtainable
from any part of the land, the wind
from these valleys keeping the place
pleasantly cool. This deal of Mr.. Gears
stamps him pretty good promoter.

Capt. r. Kurooka, |. j. n, com
mander of the cruiser Naniwa, is one
of the most efficient officers in the
Japanese Navy, and one who has an
years of becoming commander-n-
chief of the japanese naval forces.
The high esteem in which he is held
by his Government was shown by his
selection for this most important
mission.
i Capt. Kurooka has fulfilled several

When but naval attache in London,
sixteen years ago, he was directed by
the Navy Department to study the
types of ships and guns in England,
Germany and France. AS result he
suggested the Naniwa, and she is to-
day the pride of the japanese Navy,
although not by any means the larg-
est vessel in it.
During the recent war Capt. Kur-
ooka was the senior commander of
all Japanese vessels in Korean waters,
and served with distinction. He has
been in several battles and has, on the
whole. seen much active service.
Personally, the commander is a
very pleasant gentleman to meet. He
talks English very well, and is fond
of entertaining. This is his first
visit to Honolulu, although he has
passed within sight of the port on
two previous occasions.

COLORADO LAND OFFICES.
Unremunerative Because of the De-
monefization of Silver.


Senator wolcott has addressed to Sec
retary of the Interior Bliss a strong pro-
test against the proposed consolidation
of land offices in Colorado. He thinks this
consolidation will be very unwise and
work great hardship on the people OF
the State. In his letter of protest he
took occasion to state some very impress
i've truths regarding the condition of the
people OF Colorado resulting from the de-
Honetizati0n OF silver and kindred legisIe-
ton.
The Senator informed the Secretary that
the area OF Colorado was about as large as
that of New York and New England COM
bined and that there is but one other State
that has SO great an area Of public land as
Colorado. Then Mr.. Wolcott continued:
Until the closing Of the India mints.
settlers were flocking TO Colorado and
the nd offices were all Jransactine a
large and lucrative business and public
lands were being rapidly disposed OF. But
these are days of great depression and
poverty. In western Nebraska and east
ern Colorado corn is worth 10 cents a
bushel and is more valuable as fuel than
as food. There are hundreds of bona fide
settlers upon the public domain Of the
United States who are struggling along in
great poverty TO hold on to their pre-
emptioBs and homestead entries, and there
are some who have been compelled to
abandon their filings
MANY of these people still have busi-
ness with the Land Department" the
Senator says, land it would be a great
hardship Oh them il the Government should
consolidate the offices and compel them to
travel still greater distance and incur
larger expenses than at present"
