The plea means that Wade will serve

in Oahu Jail. The sentence may be for
life, as the matter is in the discretion
of the court.
Wade had fully made Up his mind to
plead guilty in preference to risking "A

meant the gallows which he well knew.
His attorney, A. l.. G. Atkinson, an

would plead guilty and take imprison-

When Wade appeared in the box he
was as cool as though aboard Of his

STOCKHOLDERS INSIST on AN
INCREASED OUTPUT.
Peoples Ice Company Obtains Control
Of Electric Company's stock and De
Clares Itself

There is move on whereby the con-
trolling interest in the Hawaii Electric
Company will probably pass into what
is known as the ice element. By that is
meant, substantially. the Peoples ice
Company, or the men who back that
concern.
\ prominent stakeholder said this
morning: We now have things about
where we want them. The majority OF
the stock has gradually passed into our
hands and in a few days we will be
ready to declare our point What we
want is ice and plenty of 1t. Hereto
fore, for reasons unknown to us, the
company has not supplied enough for
the town. Besides We have nad to fill
large orders for the transports.
1T was the understanding that the
electric company would keep the PeO-
pies Ice Company supplied with all the
ice they required. Last week the Tar
tar asked for one ton-and do you think
they could supply it? The rooms were
filled with snow when Mr.. Atwater call
ed and remained so, for twenty -four
hours The manager scared up a little
ice to relieve the ship but it was with
great difficulty that it was done and
town customers had to be deprived of
their allowance.

there is ample ice to meet all demands.

ply customers"
! An amendment to the Peoples Ice
| Companys charter was today filed and
will be passed upon by the Cabinet. as

EDITOR STAR.-In reply to your in
quries with reference to Italians in my
employ, as to their length of employ
ment adaptability to work in this cli-
mate and general welfare, | have to
make the following reply.
In the early part of 1898, through the
good offices of Dwight Benton, ESQ. of
Romes l secured an Italian family of
five persons, the mother, two sons and
two daughters, who came from the
northern part of italy in Piedomnt, l
believe.
This family have been in my employ
nearly two years working at the dairy.
| The eldest son has received $50 month
and the other members of the family
have received $12 80 each, In addition
to which they have a comfortable home,
wood a small garden and such an
amount of milk as may be necessary
| for their household use. These people
| are free to leave my employ at any
| time, not being under any Special con-
| tract. They have worked faithfully and
show every evidence of being more than
contented with their lot At present
they have in the savings bank 500 40
gold.
In addition to this family, l received
| under contract from the neigh bOrhoOd
| of Villa FRANKIE in Northern Italy, six
! teen laborers, with an oVerseer from
Rome by the name of Areoli These
| men came under contract to work FOR
| three years at an agreed rate of wages,
of SIG per month and the supervisor.
| Areoli, at a rate of wages of $50 per
! month. In addition to their wages they
have received comfortable houses, wood
| and an increase of wages, as they have
become accustomed TO the work of road
making and have proved themselves ef-
ficient. Under the original contract
found that in their desire to save mon.
ey they were not allowing themselves
sufficient for food expenses and of my
own volition l have granted them
! through their supervisor, an allowance
each month that provides them with al
extra for meat and coffee. From every
appearance of the men themselves anC
from the amount of work performed,
am very we'll satisfied with the WORK
that they are rendering, with an occa-
sional exception after pay day, when
some of them like to have little fiesta
on their own account.
! During the early part of their stay
with me, I experienced a good deal o
, trouble owing to the nearness of thei
} work to the town, but as time progress

UPSANDBURGLARIES
THERE HAVE BEEN FIVE WITHIN
THREE DAYS.
Four Men Held Up Beyond Palama.
Arlington Billiard Hall Burglarized.
Tram Car Cash Box Rifed.

Robbery and burglary seem rampant
i'm town. Since Saturday there have
been three hold ups and two burglaries,
one of them a daylight burglary.
Adam Kaukau, an employe of the
Honolulu Iron Works reports that when
he was going home Saturday night a
little after midnight he was held up
by three men just beyond Palalna and
robbed of $40 in gold. The men he
says looked like soldiers, though he
does not know that they were. They
had a quantity of alligator pears and
cocoanuts as though they had been
looting at Moanalua.
The sa- 'ght aonther native was
held ne same place and his
watc. . the money he had on his
person .. e taken. Last night two
japanese report being held up in the
same locality and having all their
money taken from them.
Some time Saturday night the Airing
! ton Billiard hotel on Hotel street was
burglarized. Something over Sc, a
quantity of cigars and the desk keys
of the establishment were stolen.
| 1t is believed that the burglars Sc
| creted themselves in the cellar of the
place before it was closed up Saturday
night. Apparently there were two bur
| glars, one wearing shoes and the other
| barefooted, as tracks were found in
| dicating this. An attempt had been
made to open the safe, but without sue
| cess.
This morning the little house at the
end of the Nuuanu street tram car line
was entered and a fare box was rlhed
| of it's contents, about $40.
Manuel Rawlins, who drives the Fort
street car of this line comes down tDwr
between 10 and IL o'clock each fore
noon to get his midday meal. He leaves
the fare box of his car in the l!ttle
house at the end of the line. When he
came back today about II o'clock he
could not at first find the box. But
later he found it rfled of it's contents
