McCLENNAN's S75O,OOO is BEING
DIVIDED.
Investors in Postal Savings Bank Are
Requested to Call at Once for Their
Money-What to Do.

Mr.. McClennan, the man sent here by
the United States Government to pay
off the depositors in the Postal Savings
Bank, has all matters arranged and the
cash is available today and henceforth.
With today all interest ceases, so that
depositors should draw their money as
soon as possible.
At a meeting between Mr.. McLennan,
Treasurer Lansing, Secretary Cooper
and Governor Dole, held yesterday af-
ternoon, it was decided to take imme
diate action in the matter of closing up
the affairs of the bank. This was at
the suggestion of members of the Gov
ernment and of Colonel Macfarlane.
The reason for immediate action is that
depOsitors have calculated and made
their arrangements to correspond with
a change about this time.
The course for depositors to pursue is
to present their pass books at the bank
as soon as possible. For this purpose
the bank will remain open this after
noon and will be open Monday. In ex-
change for the pass book the deposltor
will be given a plain certificate, certi-
flying that the person named has so
much to his or her credit at the bank.
This certificate is signed by Governor
Dole and Secretary Cooper. Upon re-
ceipt or at convenience, the depositor
presents the certificate at the First Ma
! tional Bank formerly the First Ameri-
! can BanlO in the Campbell block next
| to the Hollister cigar store where IL
| will be paid the same as a check.
! Mr.. McClennan hopes to have all the
! deposits refunded in two or three days,
! as most of the depositors are in Homo
! lulu. The total sum to be paid out is
nearly sSOO,000. The agent brought with
! him S7500O0 in the strong box of the
| China.
This money turned loose will have a
notable effect upon business. Some peo-
pie imagine the depositors in the Postal
Savings Bank a lot of misers who prefer
| safety to investments with some risk.
Such, however, is not the case. Almost
| everybody in town has money in the
bank In the past few months many
if not most of them have obtained OPP
tions and entered into bargains to be
| closed when the bank was no more. The
money will come into circulation and
| will be felt in very few days.

NEGRO LABORWKOHAU PAYING OFF NPNTOS SAON MATTER SETTLED
NEW LINES ESTABLISHED FOR
LIQUOR MEN.
In Future There Can be no Saloons in
100 Feet of West Side Of Fort Street
Executive Conference.

At the Executive meeting this morn
ing it was decided TO amend the old
limits for saloons so as to shut out
liquor dealers from Fort street and TO
extend the lines in other directions in
which saloons will be authorized Pres
ent with the department heads were l..
G. Macfarlane, j G.. Rothwell L. II .
Dee, w. M. Cunningham, Mr.. Almy and
d. H. Lewis
The old limits of saloons were pointed
out to be as follows: Both sides OF
Fort street between Beretania and
Merchant; mauka of Beretania between
Fort and Nuuanu; both sides of Nuu-
anu between Beretania and Merchant;
mauka of Merchant between Nuuanu
and Fort The new lines are: 100 feet
west of Fort street at the corner OF
King, down to Bethel, to Merchant, to
Nuuanu, to King, to Maunakea, to Ber-
etania, to within 100 feet of Fort street
and thence down to the starting point
In addition to this the saloon of Il. S.
Cunha and the Hawaiian Hotel are ad-
mitted The ones cut out are the Cri-
terion and the old Pantheon.
There were arguments on both sides
Governor Dole stated that with the
growth of the city it was necessary &c
extend the saloon limits but he was
firm in the opinion that they should be
taken off Of Fort street. He also ex-
pressed the intention of granting tC
every hotel where general conditions
were satisfactory, license of the kline
given to the Moana Hotel at Waikiki.

WHAT YACHISMEN WANT.
THEY REFUSED TO COMPETE FOR
CASH.
Did Not Want to Lose Amateur Stand
ing-Second and Third Prizes Are
Asked For.

A number of local yachtmen have
signed an agreement to refuse TO race
on the Fourth of July for the cash
prizes offered by the Fourth of July
committee The yachtsmen give as
reason for 50 doing the fact that con
testing for money makes them profess
siOnals, and under the rules Of amateur
sport would bar them forever from taxi
ing part in any but professional con-
tests hereafter. What the owners of the
yachts want are cups for first prizes
and banners or flags, suitably inscrib-
ed, for second prizes. These would be
trophies worth keeping, and the winners
would not be i'm danger of being barred
out at some future date, when they
might attempt to enter an amateur con
test.
Among those who signed the agree
ment were r. o. White of the yacht
Eva, II. NJ Dow of the Abbie NJ, Emile
Berndt of the Leowa c. w. Macfarlane
Of the La Paloma, Brotherton & Croz-
Ter of the Myrtle, G. II. Smith of the
Bonnie Dundee and others. 1t is stated
I that about all Of the owners of yachts
/ here are of the same opinion.
Another kick from the men with
pleasure boats is on account Of the lack
of second and third prizes. In some of
the races there is no doubt as to which
vessel Will come out first The contest
for first prize will be over in a few
minutes after the start. after that"
said one yachtsman, there will be
nothing to race for Two or three might
be about even and make a good fight
for second place, and two or three 9th
ers, bit farther behind, might have
an interesting contest TO come i'm third
/ This would make the races interesting
| to all. This is specially needed in the
/ fourth class contests in which there
will be about eight yachts"
The Fourth of July committee has
decided that it will offer trophies IN
stead of cash, and now the yachtsmen
want the members of the committee tC
give attention to the matter of second
or possibly third prizes.

An HAWAIIAN GOD FOUND
LARGE STONE IDOL DISCOVERED
IN KONA.
Was Probably Hidden Away by a
Devout Idolater at the Time Of the
Destruction Of the Gods

The Mauna Loa yesterday brought
an ancient Hawaiian idol from kona
which may go to the Bishop Museum
The finding Of this idol was remark
able in itself. and in the light il throws
on the religious history of the ancient
Hawaiians.
The idol which is a large stone one,
was found in Honuaula, about five
miles eastward from Kailua. IL had
evidently been carefully hidden away,
probably at the time Of the breaking
of the tabus. and the destruction OF
ldolatry, eighty years ago. A hole had
been dug in the soil. and the bottom
of the hole covered with tapa Then
the idol had been laid on its back, and
a large fiat stone laid TO cover the
hole, the top Of the stone being about
even with the surface of the ground.
The idol itself was not covered with
earth, but space of six or eight
inches was left between IL and the
covering stone. The way it came 10
be found was that the owner of the
land Portuguese wanted 10 use the
stone, which he had often seen lying
there, it being a fiat stone, and suit
able from its shape for some purpose
he had in hand. Upon taking up the
stone the idol was discovered.
The back of the idol where it. had
lain on the tapa, is smooth and well
preserved, and shows excellent work.
exposed as it has been 20 the chamber
of air underneath the fat covering
stone, shows plainly the disintegrating
process of the years. II is supposed
that al the time of the general destruc-
tiOn Of the Hawaiian idols. some de-
NOut idOater for the purpose Of saw
ing this particular one from destruc-
ton, hid il away i'm the place and i'm
! the manner in which it was found. II
is probably not "A household god, but
an idol from heiau for there are the
remains Of an ancient heiau near
where It was found.
The idol is made of the ordinary
lava rock. 1t is about thirty inches
in height. representing the figure Of
man from the knees up. II is about
fourteen inches across the shoulders
and the head is twenty five and half
inches in circumference. The face
shows very well the eyes, mouth and
/ nose of a man. not badly designed and
worked out though the disntegrating
process has gone far. The left arm
and hand hangs at the side with the
back Of the hand toward the front.
The right hand and arm also hang
down, but with the back Of the hand
outward. The back of the idol which
has been preserved from the disinte-
the human form, but showing that the
maker had just conceptions Of ana
: tony The ruGeiy carved stone now
weighs IL pounds.
1t was bought from the man who dis
covered it by w. Muller, and brought
to Honolulu Prof. Brigham Of the
Bishop Museum examined 1t this morn

BARON CHEVRIEL."
The Character Mr.. Neill Will Portray
This Evening.


The character of Baron Chevriel," as
played by James Neill of tn Neill COM
pany, which is to be seen here at the
Opera House this evening in "a Paris
ian Romance" is full of satire and Gym
icism. Mr.. Neill as the palsied old Chev-
riel is said to give a remarkable por-
trayal of the death scene at the banquet
table, being as near an approach to the
high ideal set by Richard Mansfield in
the same part as would seem possible
for any actor. Mr.. Mil has secured the
exclusive rights in America for the
presentation of "A Partisan Romance"
from Mr.. Mansfield. The play is far
removed from the sphere of what is
considered in theatrical parlance-a
stock play-it possesses great intrinsic
power, and with the artistic and effec-
tive surroundings given it by the Neill
organization, makes it one of the most
effective productions now upon the
stage. How greatly rich and appro-
PIRATE accessories add to play, is dem
onstrated in all the productions given
by the Neill company. The elaborate
scenic settings and the well designed
and richly made costumes worn by this
organization have assisted much in
placing the performance of the Neill or
ganization at the head of any other sim
liar dramatic attraction i'm America
The gowns of Miss Edythe Chapman
and the ladies of the Neill company,
worn in the production of "A Partisan
Romance" have been described as sur
passing in richness and beauty, any
thing shown upon the stage this season.

WORK OR FORFEIT BONUS
PRESENTED TO
PAIA STRIKERS.
Arrangements Made to Eject Them if
They Would Not Work-They Con-
cluded to Go to Work.

PAIA, Maui June 2g.-Maufs labor
troubles have now completely quieted
down The last to give in were the
Paia Japanese. who yesterday after
noon decided best to retain their homes
and go to work.
Some time ago the plantation agreed
to give to all the contract men. a
bonus of $3.50 a month under the con-
dition that they satisfactorily worked
out their contracts, the same to be
paid to them at the end of their time.
When they struck recently and de-
manded their contracts, they were told
that under those conditions that bonus
would be forfeited. This is what these
last strikers have been holding out for.
Arrangements were made for putting
them out of their houses and the camp
this morning, if they still refused to
work, but happily the matter has been
adjusted.

HAWAIIAN DEMOCRATS.
Delegation Leaves San Francisco
For Kansas City.

Delegation Leaves San Francisco
For Kansas City.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 21.-The
steamer Australia, which reached port
yesterday, brought a delegation of Ha-
waiians, who will ask to be seated in
the National Democratic Convention. at
Kansas City as delegates from the Is
lands. They are Prince David Kawa-
nanakoa, w. H. Cornwell, John D. Holt
and John H. Wise. Charles r. Wilder,
who for many years filled the position
of Hawaiian consul at this port is also
delegate and Joined the visitors from
the Islands upon their arrival yester-
day. There was a sixth delegate chosen
at the recent Democratic convention In
Honolulu, but in his place one of the
alternateS, e. b. McClanahan, has come
from the Islands and will accompany
the rest of the delegates to Kansas City.
The latter is now a guest at the Occi-
dental. The other visitors are making
the Palace their headquarters during
their stay in town.
Most of the delegates are not un-
known in San Francisco. Prince David
who is a member of the royal family
of Hawaii, has been here before. He
now intends to take a hand in Demo-
cratic politics in the Islands, and it is
said that If any Of the delegates are
seated he will be one of them
The National Democratic Committee
made no provision for the representa-
tion of Hawaii in the national conven-
tion, and the delegates do not know
whether they will be seated. If Ha-
wall is accorded the same representa-
tion as other territories, two delegates
will be seated, and they will probably
be Prince David and w. II. Cornwell.
The delegates from Hawaii intend to
leave for Kansas City with the Cali
fOrnia delegation June 20.
