WAS HOOTED OUT Of TOWN
TERRIBLE PUNISHMENT OF A
SOLDIER.
Corporal of Sixth Artillery Could Stand
the Jeers of His Comrades No Long
er-Arrested a Deserter

A corporal of the Sixth Artillery has
had an unpleasant if not unusual ex-
perience. Some time ago a man de-
serted from Post Honolulu and was
gone a week. Though it was known
he was in Honolulu, he could not be
found AT last, the men were requested
to have him arrested on sight, should
any of them come up with him.
One day the corporal with the ex-
perience met his man on Hotel Street
Going up behind him he threw his arms
around the fellow and called a police
man. The deserter was arrested and
duly consigned to the brig at Camp
Mckinley. In recognition of his SER
vices the man who made the arrest,
who was at that time private, was
promoted to be corporal
Right then the cOrporals troubles be-
gan. 1t seemed that the men at the
camp deprecated the arrest, for rea
sons of their own. and set about to
rub it in" on the corporal. Every
time he would pass down near the
men he would hear police, police 3"
called out from various sides. 1t seem
ed that nearly all of the men at the
camp We're in the job. At last police
! whistles were introduced, and every
| time the corporal appeared there were
blasts from these pesky things.
Finally, the corporal's patience gave
Out Lie became mlllStOne and his
career was through brambles and in
| rough places. In desperation he sought
Major Mills and stated that he could
| stand it no longer. Nothing could be
! done, for it was impossible to tell who
was doing the calling and a conviction,
at any rate, was impossible. Major
Mills decided to assign the young man
to duty at the hospital. "Go up there
! said the commander cheerfully; 'the
| hnNv fl.,
about the affair, and it will all soon
| blow over"
| The corporal had been at the hospital
! but few hours when he was identi-
fled. Immediately, the muffled cry of
| police started and was caught up by
| the men all over the premises. If any
thing, the punishment was made more
severe than at camp. At last, the cor
poral just simply gave it up and took
| the kinau for HilO, where he now is.

NOT THE WIsEsT WAY.

1t is not always best to walt until it
is needed before buying a bottle of
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diar-
rhoea Remedy. Quite frequently the
remedy is required in the very busiest
season or in the night and much incon-
venience and suffering must be borne
before it can be obtained. 1t costs but
a trifle as compared with it's real worth
and every family can well afford to keep
it in their home. 1t is everywhere ac-

UNABLE TO LEAVE PORT WANT TO GET TO MANILA v
ARTILLERYMEN HAVE THE WAR
FEVER BAD.
Perhaps a Majority Would Leave To-
day, If They Had Chance, to Help
Their Country in the Philippines.

From careful inquiries among the
batteries it would appear that fully
half If not a large majority of the ar
tillerymen here are almost on strike to
go to Manila. Many men declare they
would chance almost any sort of
punishment to get there. The guard
house for a month holds no terrors for
these men against this hankering for
the firing line.
1t is the easiest thing in the world
to say "deserter" when man leaves
in this manner. But behind it all and
over all there is something in the spirit
of the men that commends itself. In
fact there is a hint of patriotism so
strong in it as to be hard to distn-
guish from the genuine article. Said
one of the men, an intelligent thought
full, careful fellow:
1--WE enlisted to fight our country's
battles. Every man expected when he
signed in the 9Th Artillery over a year
ago to fight. If the country was at
peace and had no trouble on it's hands
we would be most content to do gar
rison duty in Honolulu. But every
body knows that there is going on the
Philippines just what we engaged over
a year ago to tackle. If there is any
fighting we want to be on the firing
line. The disappointment at being
sidetraCked here, without any chance
of doing anything, is telling on the
men. Some are being desperate; and
I don't blame them a particle for stow
| ing away on the transports. If ever
l am sent to a transport to search fol
/ soldiers trying to get away to Manila
| I'll never see one unless he falls over
me while the commanding officer is
looking"
| This sentiment seems to be general
and growing. Two battalions of the re-
giment are already in th0 Philippines
The men leaving expect to join the
! batteries there.
The artilerymen have made a splen.
did record in Honolulu for department
They are becoming as popular with the
public as the Engineers of last year
and the community feels a keen inter.
est in their welfare and aspirations
While no one approves of running
away, many people wish it were pos
sible for the men who are so anxious
to serve their country in a more sub.
stantial manner to get to Manila.

BIG FIRE THIS MORNING
A CHINESE WHOLESALE STORE
BURNED.
Blaze Started in Mysterious Manner in
Rear Warehouse-Loss by Fire and
Water is Considerable.

There was a big fire in the solid block
of stores below Nuuanu, on the mauka
side of Hotel street, between and
o'clock this morning. BY the latter
hour, however, the fire department had
the blaze thoroughly under control.
The fire started on the upper floor of
the warehouse of the Harng Lung Kee
Company, Immediately in rear of their
main premises. Chinese merchandise
of light and inflamable character was
stored here The walls and roof of the
warehouse are sheet iron. Just how the
first started is a mystery. Employees of
the establishment live in the rooms
near by and it is supposed they let fall
match or cigarette which found Its
way to the merchandise.
The alarm came just after the teams
had left the fire houses for exercise.
The chemical engine received the cor
rect alarm at the corner of Fort and
Queen and dashed to the scene. No.
had already laid out hose. No. /, ar
rived five minutes after, being far out
for exercise when the alarm sounded,
but, in some way, was the first to get
up healthy stream. There was some
trouble about getting water at first
At this time an immense cloud of
smoke was rising from the rear of the
Harng Lung store and was darting out
| of the front windows, upstairs. The
chemical engine ran a hose through
the windows and the firemen took it
| to the fire center. No. Is first hose
was run through the lower story of
the house and reached the center of
the blaze in the wareroom.
On the Eva side of the burning
building, inside of the block, is a clus-
ter of warehouse, filled with all sorts
of merchandise. One of these, adjoin-
ing the blazing warehouse, looked this
| morning like an immense rat nest. 1t
disc, oil in tins, bags, boxes and every
thing imaginable of that order. Mum
erous Cinnamon rushed here and there
trying to save the wares from this
place, while a number were sent aloft
to pour water on the smoking roof
! Fire was just beginning to lick through
| the tin wall adjoining when water
struck the point with tremendous force
and the whole thing was knocked Out
with a crash Warehouse and most
of the adjoining stores were floating ir
| water in minute.
The greatest loss is sustained by ]. P
Mendonca, owner of the business block
The Harng Lung Kee Company haC
something like $4,000 worth of goods
in their warehouse. Damage from fir,
and water together will be consider
able. House and goods were covered
by insurance. j. S. Walker is agent
for the Chinese company The stores
of Wung Chung Lung and Kwong Wal
On, both big wholesale establishments
were flooded with water and there was
considerable damage to merchandise
All of this is also covered by insurance

KAMALO STOCKHOLDERS
DISSATISFIED ONES HOLD A
MEETING.
Criticisms Made Of the Directors and
Legal Procec a.ngs Threatened-Del-
inquent Sale Postponed Today.

About forty stockholders of the Ka-
malo Sugar Company, Limited held a
meeting last night in Foster Hall to
discuss actions of the directors with
which they are dissatisfied. The result
of the meeting was a decision to stop
the sale of delinquent stock this morn
ing, by securing an injunction if neces-
sarN Cecil Brown attorney for the
directors, agreed to a postponemeut
till next Wednesday, however, and
legal proceedings were not taken. In
the meantime the dissatisfied stock
holders will meet again and decide up
on course of action. They have en-
ployed as attorneys Paul Neumann
and w. a. Henshall and il is stated
that proceedings will be instituted to
secure an accounting, the appointment
of receiver for the corporation and
the removal of some of the directors.
At last nights meeting the stock
holders listened to a report of the COM
mittee which recently visited KamaIo
and to another report from an expert
who had examined the books of the
corporation. w. A. Henshal was
chosen for chairman and T.. r. Bivens
for secretary, the principal speakers
being f. r. BiVens, l.. II. Dee, II.
Evans and p. Fl. Burnette a number
of serious complaints were made
against the directors and promoters of
kamalO and some of those present
favored radical action. A motion was
made that it was the sense of the
meeting that those present pull OUT
of the kamalo proposition and take
action to get back the money they
have invested. The motion was not
put, as it was deemed premature An
other motion, to employ counsel, was
unanimously adopted.
The principal criticism brought
against the directors was on account
of the COmpany's land purchase from
Mr.. MCCorrstOn. The experts report
showed that upon the books the pur-
chase price of the tract secured was
100000 1t is claimed that the sellers
in fact only received $4,000 cash and
| $4,000 worth of stock. 1t was also
stated at the meeting that just before
the time of the purchase the lands
value was much below the sum paid.
! Complaints were made that the direc-
tors had refused to sell stock to some
buyers at times when there was plen-
! ty unsold on hand, desiring to hold it
for speculation. and that they had col
| lected assessments some time before
the corporation was actually in exist
ence After long discussion of their
alleged grievances the dissatisfied
stockholders adjourned till Monday
evening.
The officers and directors of Kamalo
are James f. Morgan. president: Cecil
Brown, vice president; II. Armitage,
secretary; Frank Hustace, treasurer;
A. C. LOvekin, auditor.
| The above, with Frank II. Foster and
/ Fl. r. Hitchcock. comprise the board
of directors. j. j. Egan is also said to
those to manage the deals complained

THE ANTIOPE HELD BY AN
AGENTS CLAIM.
Damages Demanded for the Refusal of
a Charter Made by Grace & Company
to Themselves.

The British ship Antiope, which has
been in port since July 3rd, has docked
at the old fishmarket wharf to COM
plete the discharging of her cargo.
Captain Murray, who owns and COM
mands the vessel desires to take her
to the Sound for a cargo of coal, but
she may be held here by the agents of
w. r. Grace q Company, who have
made a claim against her on account
of the captains refusal to accept
charter they made for her. They de-
mand $3400 damages alleged to have
been sustained as a result of his ac-
ton.
Captain Murray refused the charter
on the ground that it was not fairly
made, the firm of Grace & Company
making it to themselves at their own
rate the captain states. Grace q Com
pany were the authorized agents of the
vessel and had power to make char
ter for her. They made one, charter
ing her from Grace & Company in san
Francisco to Grace q Company in
Chilli. to carry lumber from the Sound.
The rate was too low the captain
thought. and the firm appeared to be
making contracts with itself to his dis
advantage. He rejected the charter
and the agents now claims that he had
no right to do so, as they had been
authorized to act for him in securing
charter. The Antiope cannot leave
here till the captain either settles the
| SO, 400 or gives a bond and as Captain
Murray refuses to acknowledge the
| claim, the case is likely to be settled
! in the courts here. 1t involves point
of much Importance to shipping firms.
! The Antiope has the distinction, 1t
| is said, of being the only vessel afloat
| bearing two figure heads. The figure
of a woman is on each side of her bow,
when other vessels have one in the
middle. She was built by the same
firm that built the famous Kenilworth
| and is a very fast ship.
