COLUMBIA SALE DEFERRED
HOODOO SHIP MUST WAIT YET A
LITTLE LONGER.
Supreme Court Defers Consideration
on Account of a Law Point and Up
sets Former Arrangements.

The City of Columbia appeal matter
was up before the supreme court this
morning. Two of the attorneys for ap-
pellant moved that the case go over,
as the senior attorney, George A. Da-
Wis, was absent on an important matter
before the Kauai term. Mr.. Ballou,
one of the attorneys for the crew,
urged an immediate hearing for the
reason that in no other way could
decision be reached in time for the
sale, which Judge Perry had set for
March 18th. The respondents were i'm
need of the money to be realized from
the steamer, and ii was urged that the
sale should not be postponed longer
than the date now named The court
decided that the case should go over to
the regular term, beginning March 20,
when Mr.. Davis will be present. The
law was explicit that when respective
counsel agreed a case might be brought
in vacation, otherwise it must come in
it's order in term time. If counsel
could agree upon March 18th, the case
may be heard then.
This means that the Columbia will
not be sold on the 11th as advertised,
and furthermore that the sale has been
indefinitely postponed. Counsel in the
case have agreed that Judge Stanley
may sit in place of Justice Frear on
the bench when the matter comes up
for hearing.
There was hearing in Judge Perry's
court this morning on defendants mo-
tion in an arrest of judgment in the
case of the Kahului Railroad Compa-
ny VS.. Hawaiian Commercial and SUI
gar Company. Judge Hartwell and Mr..
Ballou, opposing counsel, submitted the
matter without argument. The court
overruled the motion. Exceptions by
| defendant.
Judge Perry this morning appointed
Captain Robert Parker administrator
of the estate of the late Hama Keokl,
under a bond of $125.

WAIKIKI CENTRAL OFFICE
TEL EPHONE IMPROVEMENT NOW
IN SERVICE.
Idea of Mr.. Cassidy That will Save Ex-
pense as Well as Induction-How the
System Works.

Workmen are engaged establishing
the Waikiki office of the telephone eX-
change and connecting the instruments
upon the new system. Six phones We're
adjusted yesterday and are now in
working order. More were connected
today.
The Waikiki office will occupy the
small cottage at the bridge near the
park. 1t is a neat affair, arranged FOR
convenience and with an eye to the
best possible service. Eddie Just will
have first charge. Though a very young
man he is considered experienced and
competent. At first he will have one
assistant A second man VIII be ad-
ded later.
The switchboard at the Waikiki
branch Office is called by the boys n
daisy" 1t is after the order of those
now In use at San Francisco. Upon 1t
connections are easily made, and are
clear and unhampered when establish
ed There is no such thing as getting
several phones on the same line, or Of
opening the instrument to the CAB
bling and buzz of the entire system.
On the Waikiki instruments there
will not be any levers to turn down
when speaking to central The office
is reached by merely taking down the
ear cap. When this is done the num-
Der of the calling phone is thrust up
!
! desired is then called and the connec-
| ton is made almost precisely as in the
old system. When through talking the
! ear cap is hung up again. It's weight
! rings down the number in the office,
| which is significant to pau" and the
| numbers are straightway disconnected
| by the operator
The advantages of the new system
not alone lie in the saving of time, ma
! teriai and repairs, but in the abstrac-
! tion of noise from the lines of the en-
| tire district The wire between the
| two offices will serve all of the instru-
! ments. 1t is protected by cable from
induction of electricity from the light
wires. The independent lines are
therefore of course short.
Mr.. Cassidy feels justly proud of the
Improvement. 1t was one of his origi-
nal theories for restoring the perfect
| service of the old days. From stage ia
stage he has triumphed over each of
the many difficulties until now the inn
provement, which is big one, is an
| accomplished fact.

GOTO CONFESSES MURDER.
ESCAPED FROM OAHU DISGUISED
AS A WOMAN.
Captured at Hookena He Tells Story
of the Death of the Japanese Woman
Mini.

The Japanese known as Saito, want
ed for murder, for whom reward of
$500 was offered, sits troubled and con-
fessed in a cell at the police station.
He was captured in South Kona last
week and was brought here today on
the Mauna Loa, by the deputy sheriff
of South Kona, S. Lazaro.
Saito, or as his real name is, Goto
Heyzo, is a rather unprepossessing
looking Japanese of about thirty years.
The crime with which he is charged
is the murder of Japanese woman,
Mini, following criminal assault on
her in a field at Eva, December 23rd
last. Another japanese, Mazda, who
was particeps criminis with him, has
already been sentenced to imprison-
ment for life.
After his capture at Hookena. South
Kona, he made a full confession to
Chester Doyle, who was there on va
cation. The confession was made in
the presence of Deputy Sheriff Lazaro,
and Tanaka a japanese police officer.
In this confession he says that Mai
da first proposed the criminal assault
and first accomplished it, When the
woman tainted they ran away He
heard that the woman's husband was
going to have him arrested, so he fled
to Waimanalo. From there he went
to Honolulu, where his immediate
friends of the Himoda Society enabled
him to hide on the Mauna Loa, by
which means he went to Hookena. He
came disguised as a woman. He went
to work on a coffee plantation there,
and met Kimura and SunatsubO, two
Japanese whom he had known at
Spreckelsvile. They had heard of the
$500 reward offered for him, but prom
ised not to inform on him if he would
give them money. This he was unable
to give them. They informed the au-
/ thorities and Deputy Sheriff Lazaro
| made the arrest.
1t is clear that the prompt offer of
| a reward by Marshal Brown led to his
| discovery and arrest so quickly. The
| better element of Japanese in South
Kona are greatly pleased with the ac-
ton of the police and the capture of
the alleged murderer.
| Kona it is said has been for a long
| time the resort of runaway plantation
| laborers and criminals, and Goto's
| capture has struck CONSERVATION to
| these. Many of them have in the last
few days left the district. Among the
! runaway laborers are some who have
| taken contracts to clear land and to
do other work. Some of these have
gone away since they learned that
| Chester Doyle had secured confes-
| sion from Goto.
Goto will have a hearing in the dis
trict court probably tomorrow.

PLANTATION FOR NA|ALAE
NEW SUGAR PROSPECT AT DOOR
OF HONOLULU.
To Include Isenberg, Perry, Lucas and
the Bishop Observation-Disclosures
Kleugel Working on 1t.

A sugar plantation for the estate in
the neighborhood of Waalae is a pos
sibility of the next six or eight months
Engineer G. II. Kleugel, of the Oahu
railway, has made the preliminary in
vestigations, and his report is most
favorable. 1t now remains for Mr.. Dii-
lingham to take hold arrange the de-
tails, get the leases in shape and then
open the books.
The lands under consideration are
those owned by the following persons
and concerns: Paul Isenberg, Jr.;
Charles Lucas, Mrs. Perry and the
Bishop Estate. Provided that all can
be secured and is tillable the planta-
ton should combine in the neighDor-
hood of 10000 acres.
As the matter now stands Mrs. Per-
ry is willing to lease her property. Mr..
Isenberg does not care much either
way. He has a comfortable country
seat at Waialae which would be broken
up, but realizes fully that the sugar
proposition would pay much better
than the ranch. The course OF the
Bishop estate is a matter that would
have to be settled by the trustees, but
it is probable that this property would
follow in line with the others.
1t is well know that the lands of
Waialae are low and rich. There are
none of them, save towards the noun
tains, where the prospects for tillable
and very rich soil are not of the best
Mr.. Kleugel has been assured that the
water prospects are all that could pos
| sibly be desired
From present indications something
| will be done in the matter of this
| plantation as soon as another idea now
| in a state of formation is out of the
! way-or, rather, opened up.

BYRON D CLARK RESIGNS
A RUPTURE IN THE BUREAU OF
AGRICULTURE.
Commissioner VIII Retire on April 30
Speculation on His Successor-Com-
mittee of Investigation.

Agricultural Commissioner Byron o.
Clark has resigned from his post He
will go out on April 30th. The idea now
is to have Forester David Haughs fill
the vacancy until Joseph Marsden re-
turns or until another man can be
found. This is the note of Mr.. Clark
to the commissioners of agriculture,
written some days ago, and delivered
this morning:
Honolulu, February 25, 1899.
To Hon. j. A. King, President, and
Members of the Board of Agricult-
ure.
Il hereby tender my resignation as
secretary and commissioner of the bu-
reau of agriculture and forestry, to
take effect at the end of the fiscal year,
June Both next.
In doing so, am only carrying out
what | have seriously considered for
some months.
II removed to these Islands for the
purpose of engaging i'm scientific and
practical horticulture, and had enterc
upon this work in an experimental Way
when this position was rendered me,
and it was with the expectation of en-
gaging in my chosen profession with
better facilities that I could personally
command, that / accepted. as much
as for the financial remuneration. Ow-
ing to various reasons, the necessary
equipment for undertaking the work
| pulllutu mas not Deen pIbNlueu. Wncn
| was about discouraged and IN the
| point of taking the step now proposed,
| on the 2nd of December last, resoiu-
| tion was passed by the board TO COM
! mence the equipment of an experiment
| tai station that might be a credit to us,
| and | took new hope, only to meet with
| disappointment later.
! Under the present condition of af-
! fairs | can neither do justice to my
| self nor to the government, and it will
! be best for me to resume my chosen
work in a private capacity, where I
| hope I may yet be of service to my
adopted country by aiding in the de-
| velopment of her wonderful agricultu-
raj and horticultural possibilities"
| The resignation was anticipated.
| When June 3Oth had been stated as the
time for the resignation to take effect
| there was motion to make 1t March
| 31st. April 30th was a compromise late.
| Upon the acceptance of his resigna-
ton Secretary Clark requested that a
| committee be appointed to investigate
the workings of his Office since his in
cumbency. T. J. King, Allan Herbert
and +. w. Jordan were appointed. They
are to report at the next meeting.

THE AVERAGE LIFE.

It is difficult to determine accurately
the average life of a good bicycle, but
it is estimated that the ordinary per-
son, riding to and from his business
and for pleasure, covers about 1000
miles in a year. There are Sterlings in
use that have been ridden nearly 10000
miles, which would be equivalent to 20
years of average service. One Sterling
bicycle was ridden in one year over
$4,000 miles, and in doing this the
wheels rotated in their bearings near
ly 25,000,0O0 times, and the bearings
when examined showed no appreciable
wear The bearings for the '99 model
Sterling are the S. S j. special drawn
steel, corbonized and ground bone, to
diamond temper, and ground on their
own centers, making them not only
true, but absolutely in line with each
other. Felt washers and ball retain
ers are used throughout. The Pacific
Cycle & Manufacturing Co. have 80
of the new improved '99 model Sterling
bicycles in transit. They expect part
of this shipment to arrive on the Moa-

WRECKING THE O'BRIEN.
The Wreckers are Satisfied With Theil
Bargain.

l.. A. Rostin and some of his associ-
ates in the purchase of the wrecked
ship Edward O'Brien went out to their
purchase this morning on Larsen's S
launch and made thorough eXamina-
tion of the vessel. The result is that
they are better satisfied with their
purchase than ever.
I'VE expect to have most of her car
go out inside of a week." he said, and
to float the vessel into the harbor with
in ten daYs. We have just made a
contract for taking the coal out. The
contractor agrees to get it all out in
six days with average weather. The
coal is practically all sold, to be de-
livered at the wharf. The contract for
floating the vessel and bringing her in
to the harbor is contingent on further
examination and the weather. But her
position is not as bad as was suppos-
ed. Where she is resting the reef is
soft. Sometimes when the vessel rolls
the mud boils up. She has about II
feet of water in her hold, but tween
decks are clear
IF we find we cannot float her we
will strip the copper off her bottom.
The work of taking down the yards
and masts will be commenced this af-
ternoOn."
