INCREASED CAPITALIZATION OF
THE PAST YEAR.
Development and Expansion of the
Principal Industry of the Islands as
Shown by the Cold Figures.

The expansion of the sugar planta
tion interests of the Hawaiian Islands
during year past, most of it since
annexation, is represented by an in
creased capitalization of about SIS
100000. Part of this Is an increase of
the capital of plantations already in
existence and operation. Part OF it
is represented by new plantations. But
in this total is not included the plan
tations that are in process Of organlza-
tion, but not yet definitely announced
or completed. These will easily bring
the total up to $4,000, 000
The increase of capitalization of the
established plantations has been from
S5,4O5, 900, to $9050,000. The increase
has been in the following plantations:
Eva, from $1,000,000 to 81 900. 900; Ha-
waiian Agricultural, from 100000 to
S1,O00,00O; Honokaa, $500, 900 to 81, ,OO0,-
000 Oahu, 81 800, 900 to 81, 400. 900: Ono
mea, 100000 to 81 100000 Pioneer,
$750,0OO to $l,35O.OOO, and Waianae,
S255,000 to 100000
The capitalization represented by
new plantations Is Waialua, 81. 5O0O,-
900; KOna, 100000: Kihei, s., ,0O0, ,000
Maunalei, $1,OOO,OOO; Multi $4,000, 900,
and Nahiku, $750,000.
The capital included in this latter
list is not all of it absolutely new cap
ital devoted to sugar production. A
considerable part of ii represents land,
plantations. mill sites. mills, irrga-
ton works and other property already
in existence, much of 1t devoted to su-
gar planting. AS in the case of Wala-
lua for instance, that Is a consolidation
of existing plantations, ranches and
additional land for expansion and de-
Velopment. In some of the others wa
ter rights, or the facilities for in
creasing water supply are represented.
The increase of the capitalization of
Brewer & Co.. from 100000 to 81 600, 900
while not strictly an increase of capt.
tai devoted to sugar production repre-
sents expansion and growth of the su-
gar industry.
In the case of the Hawaiian CONNER
cial and Sugar Company the late
change of ownership and management
represents n development and imme-
diate increase in the future of sugar
production without increase of capital
ization What is true of Hawaiian
Commercial is true in greater or less
degree of large number of other plan
tations.
The new plantations in process of
organization such as Olaa on Hawaii
the new plantation on Molokai and the
Wahiawa plantation on Kauai, besides
others not yet so definitely announced
will undoubtedly bring the actual in
creased capitalizat ton for the year, de-
voted to sugar production, up to the
very large sum of 500, 900, ,000 and with
in short time the increase of Droduc-
ton will fully engage that increase Of

CARE OF RUBBER TIRES.

Do not ride fiat tires. A few miles
of such treatment will damage them
more than a full seasons riding. Tires
should not be soft unless you want
them to wear out by chafing on the
rims, or have the inner tube cut by
pounding against the spoke heads. Use
care in handling the valves of your
tires. Do not treat them roughly by
screwing in the pump in hurry. Keep
them free from dirt and dust on the in
side. If a valve does not work well,
pump a drop of water through. it. No
particular care need be given the
rubber. All rubber will wear out in
time, particularly in this climate, but
it is not materially injured by wealth
er, dirt or water. 1t is well, however,
to keep it clean from oil and grease, as
both will rot rubber. The Pacific Cy-
Gle Company give all purchasers of the
'99 model Sterling bicycle an option of
any tire in the market $14.00 Palmer
tires included.

KAHKU RIOTERS ON TRIAL RINGING LABOR PARR$2OOOOOOO IN SUGAR
SIX ARRAIGNED FOR MURDER IN
FIRST DEGREE.
Luna Kiesel Points Out the Man Who
Rode the War Steed and Gave Or
ders-A Chinese Witness.

The six Japanese against whom has
been preferred the charge of numbering
the three Chinese at Kahuku, were ar
raigned in the police court this morn
ing. Attorney General Cooper report
ed that William o. Smith would assist
him in prosecuting the cases. A. G.. NJ.
Robertson appeared for the defendants
and Chester A. Doyle was sworn in as
official interpreter.
The court at the opening of the
hearing was quite full of Chinese and
Japanese, but the crowd thinned out
toward the noon hour. The prisoners
at the bar were rather tough looking.
This is especially true of Yamane, the
general, who rode the white horse in
the riot, and is supposed to have had
much to do with 1t.
The charge was amended to read as
follows: THAT Yamane, No. 204; Iha-
ra, No. 1S; Osak Monkichi, No. a.
Danjro and Tujiimoto Nihel are
charged with murder in the first degree
at Kahuku, Island of Oahu, Republic
of Hawaii, on the 26th day of March,
A. d. 1S99 for that they did at such
time and place feloniously, wilfully
and with deliberate premeditated mall
ice aforethought and without authori-
ty, justification or extenuation by law,
kill and murder one Chew Foon Wing,
and did then and thereby commit the
crime of murder in the first degree"
The amendment means simply that
the six men are to be tried on three
separate counts of murder in the first
degree. 1t was first intended to charge
certain ones with murder in each spe-
cific case.
The first witness called was Charles
r. Kiesel, a luna on the plantation at
Kahuku. He saw most of the disturb
ance and was kept on the stand most
of the morning. Kiesel identified va
name as the man mounted on the horse
who was giving orders to the other ia
panese. He told also about seeing the
beginning of the fight of saddling his
horse. and, with other lunas, riding in
and dispensing the mob. He did not
positively identify any of the other de-
PENDANTS as being there at the time.
The next witness put on the stand
was Ah Man Chang, one of the men
who was badly stabbed in the fight.
He stated positively that Ihara, one of
the defendants, was the man who had
first stabbed him. A Japanese knife,
or sword, about six inches long, was
used. Accused and the witness work
ed together and witness was positive
as his his identity. The Chinaman is
still on the witness stand this after
noon.
As there are so many witnessed to
be called the case will undoubtedly oc-
cupy the time of the district magis-
trate for the remainder of the week
and perhaps several days of next week.
