YOUNG EAGAN TO CATCH /.
FATHER DISPLEASED WITH SON' :
BUSINESS TACTICS.
Goes to Hawaii With Blood in His OPP
tics-Dislikes Change From Coffee
to Sugar in Olaa.

General Charles p. Eagan had blood
in his eye when he sailed for Hilo yes
terday. 1t was all about his son having
given to l.. a. ThurSton and others an
option on his coffee land for cane grow
ing General Eagan was wild when he
heard of it, and if his mind changes
not, young Eagan will realize that the
old man has come home'N when the XII
nau reaches Hio.
The commissary head has for years.
been believer in coffee on Hawaii and
of late centered his hopes i'm the Olaa
district. While both of the men will
probably deny it, it is nevertheless a
fact that the 100000 which young
Eagan brought to this country to put
into coffee belonged and still belongs to
his farther. The old man will therefore
assert himself at this junction. Olaa
air may be bluer than ever for a few
days to come, and young Eagan may be
replaced by another man i'm the gener-
ais coffee enterprise.
Before leaving town yesterday Gen
eral Eagan scored a citizen for selling
his land and going out of coffee He
told the man in no uncertain terms
what he thought of it, The citizen FIN
ally suggested that he might be given
credit for knowing his own business, TO
which Eagan replied doubtfully, pro
badly"
the one sure backbone of the country.
He declares that in less than three
years cuba and Porto Rico will grow
enough sugar to supply half the world.
With labor conditions he thinks the
Hawaiian Islands will not be able to
compete. 1t is his idea that sugar will
sell as low as cents in three years.
There is money in coffee" declares
he Prices will range higher in a short
, time and will continue strong indefi-
nitely. The output of coffee is not ma
terially increasing. while the demand is
constantly growing. These are facts.
| see no reason why the Islands cannot
grow the finest of coffee and as cheapy
as any other part of the world.
1T occurs to me that the people of
| Olaa and Puma are now doing what
they will soon undo. In a few years
they will be plowing up their cane
| fields and restoring coffee"
1t may be added that General Eagan
| has not travelled very far yet in the ISL
ands and may change his views. Most
| men know more about Hawaii when
| they arrive here than they do a few
! weeks later. The second half of their
| stay is usually spent in kicking theni-
! selves for talking so much during the
| first half of their visit

TWO MEN ARE SHOT DOWN GUARD system CHANGED A STOCK OPTION DID IT
PORT SURVEYOR ADOPTS A NEW
METHOD.
New Arrangement of Hours and Distri-
button of Duty Among District In
spectors and Customs Guards.

A radical change in the system of as
signment and detail of the employees of
the Port Surveyors office went into eff
feet today. The system inaugurated is
the result of a great deal of considera-
tion on the part of Collector-General
McStocker and Port Surveyor George
Stratemeyer 1t is based largely on the
experience and observation of Port
Surveyor Statemeyer during the past
three years.
The new system does not affect the
discharging officers whose hours and
work remain the same as heretofore. 1t
affects the district inspectors and
guards. One of the three district inspec-
tors is now detailed as boarding officer
to board all incoming vessels from for
eign ports, at whatever hour of the day
or night they arrive. The other two
stand twelve hour watches, alternating
in day and night duty every week, with
Sundays off. The detail of boarding Of
ficer goes in rotation to each of the dis
triCt inspectors for a month at a time.
The guards are now divided into two
watches standing duty for six hours at
a time and alternating watches every
month.
The purpose of the change is TO
equalize the work and to familiariZe
every man with all the details of his
position, as it is affected by location on
q
The boarding officer IN addition to the
duties of that position, is an emergen-
cy man to be called on whenever sp--
cial services are required.
The order effecting these changes and
making the first details under the new
system were posted this morning and
are as follows:
The day and night officers will change
watches every Sunday. The day officer
being excused from duty will take the
night watch Sunday night at p. m,
and the night officer being excused
from duty, will take the day watch
Monday morning at a. IN.
On the last day of this month Inspec-
tor w. F. Drake will take j. w Shorts
place as boarding officer for June and
j. w. Short Will take w F. DraKe's s
place with r. M. Macauley in the day
and night watches; Macauley following
Drake as boarding officer for July.
The regular guards will be divided in
to two watches of ten men each, begin
ming with first watch at 6 am. Each
watch will stand six hours on duty and
six hours off, being relieved by the se>-
| ond watch at each shift of watches un-
| til the last day of each month. when
| the watch coming on duty at p. m.
will stand until p. m, three hours,
when it will be relieved by the next
watch standing three hours or until
midnight. Then the watches will alter
| nate six hours on and six off till the
| end of that month.
The first watch consists of c. Kanuha
| B. Kaunahi, S. Hanohano, ]. Kehahio,
| w. L. Needham, ]. *. Mamoolau, A,
| Mossman, S. NJ. Kamakau and j. w
| Mahelona.
The second watch consists of G.. W

L. Allen Sherman was arrested last
evening on the charge of gross cheat.
The warrant was sworn to by Marshal
Brown. j. w. Robertson is the COM
planning witness.
In the police court this morning the
young man declined 10 plead and a plea
of not guilty was entered by Judge Will
to the oath. or one week, which was
granted. Marshal Brown was asked TO
fix the amount of bail, which will be
done during the day
The particular offense with which the
accused is charged is obtaining the sum
of 5000 from the complainant on a bogus
sugar stock deal. Robertson says Sher-
man told him he had a valuable option
on certain stocks and needed the money
to carry it through In consideration
for it, Robertson was to receive the
profits of the deal. Complainant ad-
VanCed the money. He now asserts that
sherman had no option and that the
money transaction was a fraud.
Mr.. Sherman has been a well-knOwn
figure about town for nearly a year.
He arrived from California and found
in the city a number of old friends and
school mates. He is man of decided
ly prepossessing demeanor and tool;
well, to use bi-tern.
The young man is a son of Colonel
Sherman, a prominent citizen of Cah-
fornia, and a nephew of the head or a
large music house in San Francisco
Two close relations. ladies, reside IN
this city. Friends of Mr.. Sherman re-
gret his trouble.
There are other claims against the
young man in the city. One collector

can be learned, however, none of the
debts are of great size. the one upon
which proceedings were brought being

MURDEROUS ASSAULT ABOARD
THE AUSTRALIA.
Wade, the Colored Cook, Shoots a
Waiter and is Himself Shot by Cap
tain Harry Evans, Harbor Police.

Passengers on the Australia were ter
rorized just as the steamer pulled out
of the channel from the harbor yester-
day afternoon, by four pistol shots in
quick succession, in the saloon OF the
ship, followed quickly by another still
louder The vessel was Immediately
hoveto and a few minutes later two
wounded men were taken over the side
into a small boat and rowed to the
shore.
In the Queens hospital, his life hang
ing by a thread is a young white man
named Gillespie, a waiter of the Aus
tralia. Four shots were directed at him.
One entered the lower part of the stom-
ach at the right side. The bullet was To-
Gated at the backbone above the pelvls
A second bullet struck the left leg at
the middle of the thigh and broke the
bone The former wound is the one that
will probably bring death to the victim
George Wade, chief cook of the Aus
tralia, negro, well-known in town, is
in Oahu Jail, with rifle ball wound on
the scalp. He shot Gillespie, and was
himself shot by Captain Harry Evans
of the harbor police. Wade is held Tor
investigation" to await the fate of his
man in the hospital. If Gillespie dies
there will be murder trial.
The cause of the trouble is unknown
in town. There has been bad blood In
times but it has never before shown it
self in any extraordinary way. Wade
and the butcher of the steamer had
words yesterday and it is thought the
trouble started between them. story
has it that Gillespie either interfered
or took the side of the butcher. Wade
bacame wildly mad, ripped out a 3S
caliber revovler and fired upon the
waiter.
Harry Evans and Chester A. Doyle
were on the Australia's deck at the
time the shots were heard. Evans start
ed down and was met by Wade. The
cook drew his pistol and threatened to
shoot the policeman. Evans was uu-
armed and retired upstairs. He secur-
ed a rife from First officer Lawless and
went down again. He was followed by
Lawless, Chester A. Doyle and others.
Reaching the bottom of the stairway
Wade again raised his revolver and fir
ed. Evans Immediately let go with the
rifle and Wade dropped The rifle ball
grazed the scalp and stunned the cook
Gillespie was moved as quickly as
possible to the hospital where he had
| the attention of DR.. Wood. Wade was
also taken to the hospital, but returned
| shortly after to oahu Jail.

SOUTH KONA PLANTATION
LOCAL MEN ORGANIZING A NEW
SUGAR ESTATE.
viii be 2O,OO Acres, Nearly Half OF
and Achi the Promoters.

w. r. Castle and w. G. Ach return
ed by the w. G.. Hall yesterday from
South Kona, where they went some
days ago to look up new plantation
project.
Their mission was most successful
over 10000 acres of excellent land were
secured. A little over 5000 of this is the
W. r. Castle tract, purchased in two
lots in the past few years. Other lands
are the Kalahilti and HOokena tracts,
secured from Monsarrat. An effort is
being made to secure also the Honau-
nau homesteads which will be a valua-
BILE addition to the estate.
1t is announced that 5000 to 5000 acres
will be put at once. or as early as possi-
bic, into sugar. Fifty hands We're start
ed to work ] It week planting seed
cane. Enough will be put in to plant a
large part of the estate when the pro-
jeCt is under way.
The promoters feel much elated over
their prospect. They says that the lands
are so positioned that they will not re-
quire artificial irrigation. Back of the
estate are the mountains, and the rain
fall is something like at Hilo on the
other side of the range. None of the
lands to be put into cane lies over 2000
feet high. AS estates are now carried
to 25O0 feet above sea level, this is con-
sidered a safe height.
1t will be some time before the plant
alton is organized for the reason that
the promoters WISH first to get seed
cane under way. Probabilities are that
a start in this direction will be made,
however, early in the summer.
The excess acreage referred to above
will be used for pasturage purposes for
the present.

NEW RAILWAY COMPANY.
Roads of Hilo Company to be Parallel
ed Both Ways.


At it's regular session on Friday, the
Cabinet will pass upon the application
of the Hilo and Honolulu Railway Com
pany for charter This concern is to
be capitalized at $4,000, with the privf-
lege of increasing to an amount not
over $10,0OO,0OO divided into 5000 shares
of 800 each. .....
The incorporators are Thomas Rain
Walker and Francis Mills Swanzy, of
Honolulu; Gardner K. Wilder, of Hilo;
Herbert B. Gehr, of Chicago, and w. j.
Brown, of Boston.
The business of the concern will be to
operate railways on the Islands of Ha-
wall and Oahu, particularly the former.
1t is understood that the lines of the
Hilo Railway Company will be follow
ed in the direction of Hamakua and al
so towards Olaa. That those sections
are to have double railways through
them is something no one had hereto
fore thought Of 1t is understood that
the new company expects to circle the
island in time, crossing the mountains
on the east near the Volcano
The organization of this new railway
company is great surprise to the Hilo
railway people, as well as to the city.
The results will be watched with inter-
est. With four railway lines into Hilo
the Rainy City will lose her poor little
head, surely.
