Judge Emory speer devoted his time for half an

said that the punishment OF the criminal must be

A gATIE.SYDNEY LINE HICKEY TRIAL WEDNESDAY
OPIUM CHARGE AGAINST WELL
KNOWN HAWAIIAN.
Hundred Tins Found on His Premises
at Punahou-Packed in Oil Cans
Will be Defense.

Henry Hickey, half caste, employe of
the Hawaiian Hardware Company, was
before Judge Wilcox this morning on
the charge of having opium in possess
sion. James X. Kaulia appeared as
his attorney, and Charles Creighton
was later engaged to assist the defense.
On motion of Mr.. Kaulia the case went
over to Wednesday morning.
Charles Chillingworth, deputy mar
shal, arrested Hickey Sunday morning.
At the time the police officer had in
his hands 100 tins of Rooster brand OPP
ium, which had been dug up on the
premises of his prisoner at Punahou
Accused was straightway admitted to
bail in the sum of $500.
For some time Chillngworth had
suspected Hickey of dealing in opium
1t was hard to understand how a man
working for SIG a week could pur-
chase heavily of lands and put up
costly cottages. Following the mat
ter up it was found that an unusual
number of oil cases were hauled to
Hickeys house at Punahou.
Saturday night Chilingworth took a
long IRON rod and went to the place He
suspected that the stuff if there,
would be buried somewhere in the acre
lot. With the rod the officer probed
around in the grounds for six hours.
and was rewarded by finding as many
as ten SOFT places in the banana patch
back of the house. Returning to town
about 4 o'clock, he obtained a search
warrant and took help with him to
Punahou.
1t was about daylight when the po-
licemen reached the place. Hickey was
in Manoa valley visiting friends. Go
ing to the soft places he had discover
ed in the grounds, which were evi-
IDENTIFY of holes but recently filled up,
the deputy marshal had his men dig.
Out of the first was taken a kerosene
oil case, containing one can of oil and
another of opium The ten holes were
reopened. In another was found a case
identical with the first. Eight holes
were empty. The catch footed up eX-
actly 100 tins.
The cases were addressed to the Ha-
waiian Hardware Company. On each
of the cans containing opium was the
letter H, to distinguish it from the one
carrying oil. AS Hickey handled most
of the freight for the concern it is easy
to see how the racket" may have
been worked.
1t is understood that Hickey has a
defense. He may be able to prove that
the contraband stuff was not his. Thus
far he has not talked and will not be
permitted to do so by his attorneys.
The case has excited interest about
the city. Hickey is well known and
has many friends who deplore his pre-
dicament

GARoNNE is THE PIONEER OF A
NEW COMPANY.
Two New Steamships of American
Registry to Ply Between Seattle and
Australia, Touching at Honolulu.

According to the plans of the Brit
ish- American line, the Garonne is on
ly the pioneer of a through line be-
tween Seattle and Australia in compe-
tition with the Canadian Australian
line.
The Garonne is a British vessel and
the capital behind the line is largely
British. Frank Waterhouse is now in
England arranging the finances for
two new steamships to ply on this
route. Though the capital interested is
British, the steamships will be built
in America, or at least have American
registry, so as to be able to engage in
the trade between Seattle and the Is
lands, which will in all probability
very soon be coastwise trade.
The Hilo Tribune in its last issue
published q statement that the present
is probably the last trip of the Garonne.
This is emphatically denied at the Of
flee of Henry Waterhouse & Co., the
agents, and the information concern
ing the two new vessels is given.
If the navigation laws of the United
states are extended to the Islands it
will affect the Garonne only in the
same way that it will the Occidental
and Oriental ships, those of the new
Japanese line and the ships of the Oce-
anic Steamship Company which fly the
British flag.
There was quite crowd at the dock
to see the Garonne depart. The gov
ernment band was there and played a
number of popular airs.
The Garonne took nine bags of mail
matter, but comparatively few letters.
