BROKER POLITE.
What the San Francisco Wasp
Says About Him.

| Ed. PoIlitz, the weil-known broker,
and the man who snatched the control
of the Hawaiian Commercial &. Sugar
company from Gus and Rudolph
Spreckels, went down TO the Islands on
the Australia TO look after the inter-
estS of the company there. Mr.. PollitZ
was instrumental in placing Onomea
and Paauhau on this market, and some
thing interesting TO investors may be
expected as the result of his visit
there. There is no reason why Hawaii
an sugar stocks should not, outside of
| bad management. be favoriteS in this
market. Hawaiian sugar never need
| ed anything but irrigation and a good
market to make It pay, and it has now,
! or can have both. Since Claus Spreck-
| els tried TO defeat the Hawaiian -Ieci-
prOcity treaty, and had most of the
merchants OF California and Front
streets sign his petition against it,
times have changed. 1t now only re
Quires capital to secure irrigation,
while there is an illimitable market in
this country for the product. The Ha-
waiian Commercial & Sugar Company,
springing from the elder SpreckelS
present to two of his sons, wavered be-
tween life and death for a long time,
and its prosperity was not enhanced
| by the control. Under that control the
value of the stock was hammered down
from $50 per share to 1915, whereas it
now sells at $3.50, or ten times as
much, and it is believed that divi-
dend of 10 cents per share will soon be
declared Great improvements are
mplated-increasing the milling
capacity, water supply, pumping ma
chinery, reconstructing the railroad,
etc. To do this will require the in
creasing OF the bonded Indebtedness to
50 500 900 and on August IS the stock
holders Will have TO pass on it.-San

4 GREAT ART DISPLAY DIRECT
FROM PERSIAN PALACES.

Mr.. NJ. 3. Mihran, the well-known
Armenian art collector, is once again
with us. All lovers in Honolulu will
enjoy another of those Oriental treats.
where even feasting the eyes on those
elaborate rugs, which once decorated
Persian palaces, is a great pleasure.
The store corner Fort and Hotel streets
will soon be tranfOrmed into fairy
land, where art is found 'in soft hues
and colors, playing into each other in
such harmony, and in designs of such
uniqueness as characteristic to the
Persian artists. This present collection
is made with great care and with past
experience so as to meet the require
ments of the taste and the market of
the Islands, and includes rugs of royal
make and dTaperies of most beautiful
designs.
All through his collecting trip Mr..
Mihran has noticed that both in Eu
rope and America the demand for
Turkish rugs has increased greatly,
while good, genuine aubique rugs are
getting scarcer and very hard to pro-
cure.
Mr. J. F Morgan, the leading auc-
tioneer, has assumed charge of this
sale, which will take place next Satur-
day, August 26.

CHINESE SOLD AS SLAVES.
Large Number Shipped From Hons
Kong to Tampic0, Mex

Kong to TampicO, Mex.
VANCOUVER, B. c.. Jan. ia story
of alleged Chinese slavery has come to
light here since the arrival of the
steamship Empress of Japan from the
Orient. She brought from Hong Kong
4O6 ChineseAof which 1911 were reported
to be destined for Tampico Mexico, to
work on plantations.
They were under the care of a Chi
naman named Ma Chop, who stated
that l. 800 more are to follow. While
herding the Chinese from the dock to
a special train a stampede ensued In
their frenzy a number rushed toward
the edge of the dock. They would
have fallen into the bay had it not
been for police officer who stopped
the mad rush by knocking a score of
them down. When they were finally
rounded up it was found that eight
were missing. After several minor
stampedes the Chinese were pers uaded
to get on the train.
The cause of the frenzy and STAN
pede was the arrival of a Chinaman
from San Francisco who told them
they had been sold as slaves by Hong
Kong men and that they would never
go back to China. Local Chinese here
are helping the men still in hiding in
every possible way. as all are con.
vinced that they and the remainder of
the 1, 800 to follow are being sold into
slavery. They are going to send word
to the Chinese government about it.
The city police are hunting down
the missing Chinese for evading the
$50 poll tax The Canadian Pacific
officials are also hunting them because
they have contracted to take the party
safely over their lines and are liable to
heavy customs penalty for every
Chinaman landed in British Columbia
who does not pay poll tax.
