RECORD WEEK At KAHULU|
AN UNPRECEDENTED JAM OF
SHIPPING.
Ten Vessels i'm the Harbor or Await
ing Berths-Wharf and Loading Fa-
cilities Now Being Increased.

EAHULUI, March 1S.-Ths has been
a record week in shipping for Kahului
Six vessels in port, three lying off
waiting for berths, and one at Lahai-
ma for the same purpose, beats any
thing in the history of the Kahului.
Three out this week, and one early
next week, will enable those in the Of
fling to come in, and unless others turn
up very soon, the jam will be over
come. AS II is now, all the warehouses
and sugar rooms are filled to overflow
ing with sugar, and Paia mill was
obliged to shut down one night this
week for want of store room.
The Kahului Railroad company has
now secured the new wharf at Kahu-
lui built by the Hawaiian Commercial
Company, and will use il in conjunc-
ton with their own, so that hereafter
the present state of affairs should not
occur again. The new wharf needs TO
be strengthened with timbers, to pro-
tect the cement piles from the bump
ing of the lighters and j. Ouderkirk of
Honolulu has been awarded the con-
tract for this work Extra hands have
been put on the new lighters, and it is
hoped to get them in the water within
a week or so.
The Kahului Railroad company has
laid its tracks onto the new wharf, so
that there will be no delay in making
use of it, when it is in shape.

YAcuTMEx's OPINIONS DIFFER.
Whether Mr.. Strachan's Protest VIII
Hold or Not.

The protest against the decision of the
sailing committee OF the Savannah Yacht
Club, in declaring that Mr.. Frank
strachan's yacht, the Marie, Is not yacht
with a proper, permanent cabin. is eaus-
ing considerable discussion among the
club members. The committee is COM
posed OF Mr.. W. D. Simkln. Judge A. Il.
MacDonell. Messrs. Albert Wylly and
Norman Beckett.
A prominent yachtsman said, in refer
ence to il, that the cabin is divided into
two sections by the center board box, each
section being about four feet long, from
eighteen to twenty inches wide. and about
thrty-four inches high between the floor
and ceiling. The cabin is made of thin
yellow pine boards bent around stauchions
and nailed to the boat deck, about two or
three inches outside of her combings.
There is no ventilation, except by the
doors at the end. Each section has a door
fourteen inches wide, and the original
seats of the yacht are standing in the
cabin the tops about eighteen inches from
the ceiling. No doubt, he remarked MIR.
Strachan intends 10 leave this as a perma-
nent structure, but he is inclined to agree
with the ruling of the sailing committee
that il is not cabin In the ordinary or
SIMPLY a shelter to protect the ships stores
from The rain and sun. A the very ut
most, only one person can enter each sec
ton of the cabin and he can only do so
by projecting his body along the floor,
head or feet first as he may prefer, and
once having worked his way i'm he is de
prved of all freedom of movement, and
must lie fiat on the deck in cramped
position.
Another yachtsman facetiously remarked
that this should have enabled the sailing
committee 10 enter the Marie as cabin
yacht The dimensions given enable the
yachtsmen TO properly protect from the
weather ten loaves of bread, two boxes of
beer. at least three gallons of whisky
and a small bag Of ice. What more, he
asked does q true marooner want, unless
it is a good awning 10 shield himself and
friends from the heat of the sun and the
falling rain or dew? And no doubt the
boat is provided with this necessary arti-
Gle.
The weight of opinion appears TO be
that the decision of the sailing commit
tee is final-the sailing regulations are
emphatic on that point.
Friends of the sailing committee say
that they have no power over entries, and
that they are not expected to hunt around
Che river 10 ascertain whether or not any
particular boat is entered in a class to
which she does not belong. Their duty
begins with the start of the race, and they
are supposed to act only when a protest
is formally made, or they actually be
ccrne eyewitnesses of some infraction of
the sailing regulations.
The members Of the sailing committee
Will say nothing in reply to the criticisms
made upon their decision, except that they
are satisfied with its correctness.

University Extension society Meets
No Wore Until FaII.

No more meetings of the University Ex-
tension class will be held until next fall
The last for this season was held yester-
day afternoon at the Chatham Academy
Shelley and Keats were the poets under
discussion, and the members joined in
with such interest that the meeting would
easily have taken rank with the best the
class ever had, even though it had not
been entertained by Miss Ada Evelyn
Lewis.
Miss Lewis is a recent graduate of the
Emerson College of Orafory at Boston
She is visiting in the city, and was re-
quested to favor the class with selection
from one of the poets. She chose Shell
ley's The Cloud, which was rendered
with rare charm of evolutionary and dra-
matte ability. That was received with
such favor that Miss Lewis was obliged
to recite another selection. IAN Uncut Di-
almond" was its title Differing widely
from the poets beautiful work, it yet Of
fered the elocutionist an opportunity to
display the range of her talents, and the
rendition of the story of the ungraceful
countryman was no less enjoyed than that
of THE Cloud"
Miss Lewis is a Southern girl, sister
of Mr.. j. F. Lewis The training of the
Northern schools has perfected that talent
which early displayed itself, and the many
compliments she received from the MEM
bers of the class and the thanks for her
selections that were conveyed through the
leader Mrs. Julian Solomon, evinced the
rare gift that is he's she has made a
number of friends during her stay in the
city, and her return 20 Atlanta will be to
the regret of them all
The discontnuance of the class's meet
ings during the summer is due both to the
warm weather and the fact that many of
the members will be absent from the city
during the summer months. None have
any idea of allowing the class to disin-
tegrate, and next fall it will be gathered
together for further pursuit of knowledge

CHARGED FRAyD AND DuREss.
Mrs. Prenty's Amendment to Her Suit
Against Machstein.

The attorneys for Mary Ann Prenty,
administrators of the estate of Catherine
Preuty, have filed an amendment to her
suit against Fieb Wachstein. Mrs. Prem
" is suing for the recovery of the prop
erty at Perry and Houston streets, which
was sold by her ex-husband Patrick Nc
Murray. The case will probably be tried
at the approaching June term of the Su-
perior Court.
The amendment AYERS that Patrick Nc
Murray stated to the petitioners mother,
Catherine Prenty, at the time he caused
her to sign the deed or conveyance to
the property in question, that it was a
note or mortgage or some kind of paper
to secure money, and that when the said
Catherine Prenty objected to signing said
deed he threatened her life and told her
he would blow her brains out if she did
not sign it. This occurred in the bed
room Immediately before going into the
parlor where the papers were signed
An amendment to another paragraph
AYERS that when Patrick McMurray con-
veyed the premises in question TO his
brother, Gerald McMurray, that the lat
ter knew full well that his brother had
no title tc the property and that he had
obtained the conveyance to himself from
Catherine Prenty by fraud and duress.
Barrow az Osborne are the attorneys for
Mrs. Prenty, while g. T. G ]. F. Cam rep.
resent Wachstein. The position of the lat
ter is that he was entirely ignorant of any
transactions which took place between
Mrs. Prenty and The McMurray, that he
bought the property through real estate
agent, and that the passing of title was
complete and legitimate.
The suit will be closely contested and is
likely to prove a very interesting one as it
will necessarily recall the troubles between
Mrs. McMurray and her husband and the
alleged treatment of Mrs. Prenty, his
mother-in-law, by Patrick McMurray,
which formed one of the strangest cases
that ever interested and puzzled Savan-
nahians. The dealings between Mrs. Cath
crime Prenty and McMurray and the al
legged ill-treatment of the former by the
latter is likely to be prominent feature of
the case. The defense will, Of course, deny
that McMurray secured the transfer of the
property from Mrs Prenty by fraud

Detective Shea arrested Kit Johnson
yesterday morning, upon charge of high
way robbery. The detectives have been
looking for the negro for some days, and
when he was sighted by Shea the latter
called upon him to halt, which johnson
unwillingly consented to do.
The man is charged with holding up
Richard Parker and relieving the latter of
the valuables he had on him at the time.
The crime has of late become guile fire.
quent on the outskirts of the city, and
there have been many complaints to the
barracks officials. On the commons it has
assumed the proportions of a fad among
the oilers of the negro population, some
of whom seem to have begun TO think that
the easiest way to acquire the price of
drink is to hold up the first prosperous
appearing member of their race that is
seen vending his way homewards and by
menaces and threats compel him to give
up his valuabes.
The detectives are determined that The
crime must be stopped, and are bending
their efforts in that direction While so
far the amounts stolen have been small
