.THE VOLCANO ON MAUI
THE BLAZE THAT CAPTAIN
ROBINSON SAW.
Not a Volcanic Disturbance But an
Ordinary Forest Fire for Benefit of
Hakalau Plantation.

The fire which Captain Robinson of
the barkentine Skagit thought might
be new volcano on the island of Maui
was at Hakalau plantation, where for
est lands are being cleared away to
prepare for more cane growing.
Captain Robinson saw the fire in the
darkness early Thursday morning,
when it had burned a considerable area
and as he viewed it from his vessel,
standing a couple of miles from shore,
it looked so large that he thought Ha-
waii nei had a new volcano. He watch
ed it till his vessel sailed out of sight
of Maui and when he got to Honolulu
one of the first things he inquired
about was the big fire he had seen on
Maui.
K. r. G. Wallace, who arrived here
yesterday on the steamer Claudine,
states that a fire started last Wednes-
day evening at Hakalau, near Homo
hina, was probably the one seen by
Captain Robinson 1t was for the pur-
pose of clearing away forest lands and
it burned away a lot of timber
The Hakalau fire was at an eleva-
ton of twelve or fourteen hundred feet
above sea level, so that it would be
easily visible long way out at sea.

.NAY SAILORS REGISTER 7.
QUESTION BEFORE THE SUPREME
COURT TODAY.
Petition of j. j. Irving, of the Iwalani
Brings Out Lots of Legal Thunder
Decision Tomorrow.

The case Of Joseph j. Irving, suit for
writ of mandamus against the Board
of Registration to compel them to re-
gister him as a voter in the Sixth Pre-
cinct of the Fourth District was argued
in the Supreme Court this morning and
submitted. The court took the matter
under advisement to look up the auth
critics cited by counsel for petitioner
and then announced that it would pro-
badly be ready to present a decision
first thing tomorrow morning. The
court stated that it would also be ready
with a decision in the Loucks registra-
tion case, which was argued last Fri
day.
The Irving case is different from any
of the others, although it affects num-
Der of employees of ships in the island
fleets. The petitioner works on the
steamer Iwalani. His room on that
boat he claims as his only domicile hav-
ing no residence in the city. He sets
out, however, that Honolulu harbor is
the home port of the Iwalani and that
she moors to a wharf in the Sixth Pre-
cinct of the Fourth District. There
fore, he declares, he is entitled to regis
ter and vote in that precinct.
1t Will be remembered that the Board
of Registration declined tosregister Mr..
Irving.
In court this morning Mr.. McClana-
nan cOntended that the precincts not
only extended to the harbor but includ-
ed the harbor to the sea. For instance,
he said, the keeper of the lighthouse
had been registered and properly so.
The fact that the Iwalani was fire.
quently out of port did not, in the mind
of the attorney, affect the contention
that the home of the plaintiff was in
the domicile. An American vessel fly
ing the American flag was American
territory at all times, and a sailor upon
an American vessel was on American
soil. The lawyer declared that if the
Iwalani left port and did not return
in forty years the domicile of the petit
toner would still be in the Sixth Pre-
cinct of the Fourth District, if he stuck
to his room on the ship and the ship
stuck to the American flag.
Mr. Andrews defended the case for
the Board of Registration. He asked
the encouragement to take the case
but that official replied that he would
only submit it without argument. Mr..
Andrews declared that a residence in
the meaning of the law was stationery.
In going to sea in the Iwalani the petit
toner was moving from one precinct to
another constantly and did not live the
requisite three months in any one of
them.
1t is understood that Irving is q
Democrat The case is important as it
affects most of the petty officers on ISL
and boats.

MUST PAY PORT CHARGES.
OCEANIC STEAMSHIP COMPANY
OWES A BILL.
Mail Contract Ran Out June IA Last
And Company is now on Same Foot
ing as Other Companies.

The Oceanic Steamship Company is
due the Hawaiian government a bill for
wharfage, pilotage, rent of Goals lot
and water since June IA, 1900. This COM
pany made a deal with the monarchy
in 1886 for carrying the mails, in consi-
deration for which 1t was not to pay
any harbor dues. 1t has not paid any
thing since that time. The Pacific Mail
had and does now pay. In consider
ing the matter this morning the EXecu-
tive were unanimous in the view that
as the mail contract expired on June IA
regular charges were due and collect
able from that date.
The contract for completing the sewer
outfall has been let to Vincent & Bel
sar. The work is to be done by day
labor, the contractors to receive ten per
cent above the total cost Wages and
other expenses must be satisfactory to
the superintendent of public works and
the sanitary engineer.
Mr.. McCandless reported a letter from
the Board of Health requesting the gov
ernment to raise the grade of the
streets in Kewalo and Kakaako to con-
form to the new sanitary policy of the
Board in those districts. 1t was found
that the streets in Kewalo have never
been accepted bv the bureau of public
works and still belong to Mr.. Desky.
1t was the opinion of the Executive that
Board of Health in it's efforts to i'm
prove the condition of the district
The Hilo Railway Company asked to
be allowed to use the dead timber with
in 500 feet of the Waiakea branch of the
road. Denied.
The agents of the Boston building
asked that that house be connected
with the sewerage system as soon as
possible. The reply will be that the
Boston building and a few others may
be connected about November l.
The dredgings of the Oahu Railway
Company came up as another bone of
contention. 1t seems that the wharf
plan of Mr.. Dillingham; has never been
officially sanctioned by the central gov
ernment as far as the local authorities
know. In view of this, steps will be
taken to make the railway people keep
the road from the cattle pen to Iwilei
open.

STILL AFTER SHARKS.

Well pleased with the social feature
of the recent grand shark fishing expe-
dition to Pearl Harbor the yachtsmen
are talking of renewing their trip, next
Saturday. The second expedition will
not they assert, be modelled after the
famous and fruitless march of the King
of France and his twenty thousand men.
On the contrary the yachtsmen, propose
to profit by their last experience and
on the coming trip will provide them
selves with shark hooks instead OF so
much bait. A prize in the shape of a
cup of some character win be offered
to the yacht capturing the first shark.
There will also be speech censor
along and during the fishing portion
of the trip nobody will be allowed to
speak without the express permission

LANES REED INJURED.

Mr.. James Reed, struck his leg
against a cake of ice in such manner
as to bruise it severely. 1t became very
much swollen and panied him so badly
that he could not walk without the aid

clans, also used several kinds of lint
ment and two and a half gallons of
whiskey in bathing 1t, but nothing gave
any relief until he began using Cham
berlain's Pain Balm. This brought al
most a complete cure in a weeks time

CANNOT GET THEIR CHESTS
SAILORS AFTER LEWIS AND
TURK.
Turk Committed for Trial on a Charge
of Malicious Injury-Profitable Small
Loans to Seamen.

Shipping masters Turk and Lewis
had another police court session this
morning, when Turk was on trial on
charge of malicious injury He was
accused by j. Bradford, a sailor of the
bark Dunreggan, who claimed that
Turk stole his clothes. A petty larceny
charge brought on the same account
last week was nolle pressed, but this
morning, Judge Wilcox held Turk for
trial in $3.50 bail.
Bradford and two other sailors, who
declare that they were deprived of
their chests as he was, are now trying
to find a way of getting their trunks
back. Bradford has succeeded in hav-
ing Turk committed for trial, but he
is still without his trunk.
The other two men are now talking
of bringing two more charges against
Turk, unless they get their clothes
back, and Bradford says he will have
damage case if his clothes are held
any longer, now that a court has de-
cided that the shipping master have no
right to them.
The case like most water front cases,
was full of contradictory testimony.
Three sailors from the Dunreggan took
the stand and swore that they had told
Turk and Lewis not to remove their
clothes, while the two shipping mas
ters swore that they had been told by
the men to take the clothes for security
for $5 loaned. 1t was shown that Brad
ford's clothes had been taken by Turk
after the So had been paid back
The Dunreggan men appear to have
decided TO patronize the Sailors Home
soon after they got ashore. deserting
the Turk and Lewis place, and then
their troubles began. They were asked
to pay 81 each which they claim was
not due and the clothes were held be-
cause they would not pay.
Bradford swore that he had paid Sc
the next day for the five he had been
loaned, and the other two gave the
same testimony about the result of the
kindly loan they had secured. "Do
you want some money, boys"" said
Lewis in the forecastle of the vessel,
and the men all did. They got IS each.
Lewis denied that he had been paid Sc
each the next day for the loans.
The judge decided that the shipping
masters had no right to take the
clothes after being told to leave them
alone. He held Turk in $3.50 bail, but
that has not resulted in the three men
getting their clothes. rs

ALECK Macintosh GONE
THE REPORT THAT HE TOOK Al
STEAMER ON SATURDAY.
May Have Gone to the Orient on the
Nippon Maru or to the Colonies on
Warrimoo.

Did Aleck Macintosh leave here on
Saturday on the steamship Nippon
Maru or Warrimoo? This Is a question
many of his friends are asking today.
He had been talking of taking a trip
of the kind for some time 1t is stated
and some of those who know him are
inclined to think that he has gone.
Young Macintosh left Cecil Browns
office, where he is employed at noon on
saturday. After that hour his move
ments are not known. Harry Won Holt,
his half brother, stated this morning
that he had seen some of young Mack
intosh's friends yesterday who were
looking for him, and that this was the
first Intimation that Aleck was not in
town. ........ ...........
Mr. Won Holt did not know any rea-
son to suppose that young Macintosh
had left Honolulu, unless he had de-
cided to take the "trip" he had many
times recently spoken of. Mr. Won Holt
stated that he had advised Macintosh
not to go. II told him to go ahead if
he felt like it, but that he was wasting
money for nothing" said Mr.. Won Holt.
Won Holt is inclined to think that if
Macintosh left at all it was on the
Japanese steamer for the orient. There
was no reason why he should go to the
Colonies on the Warrimoo. says the
young mans brother, and If he
suddenly decided to carry out his in
tention to take sea-voyage, he would
have chosen the trip to the orient.
81 think he would have let me and
some others know before he went"
said Mr.. Won Holt, but of course it is
possible that he decided suddenly. and
he may have gone. / should not be sur
prised, however. to hear that he is still
here"
Aleck Macintosh is a son of the Rev.
Alexander Macintosh, rector of the
second pOnUrpUafinn n
church. The young man is very well
known in social and business circles
here. The Rev. Macintosh is now
away on a vacation. in Europe.

.D|DN'T 7. OBEY THE JUDGE
MELLO REFUSED TO TAKE HIS
CLOTHES BACK HOME.
His Wife Gets Another Warrant
Charging Him With Desertion-The
Reef OF Home

Antoine Mello did not return to his
hreStde when he was ordered to do so
by Judge Wilcox, about two weeks ago,
and ne will therefore be compelled to
stand before his honor again tomorrow
morning and show cause why he should
not be sent on the reef for refusing to
live with the pretty young Portuguese
whom only a year ago he swore to love
and cherish, Mello was arrested for
desertion on complaint of his wife and
after hearing the facts in the case the
judge ordered him to return home, in
timating that the reef would soon be his
home if he didn't.
This morning the young wifey with
her mother and attorney Davidson, ap-
peared at the police station and an
nounced that Mello had not yet come
back. He was still living in bachelor
like loneliness somewhere or other, the
wife didn't know where. All she knew
was that her hubby had not obeyed the
order by which Judge Wilcox fondly
hoped to re-establish a happy home,
and she wanted the police to take an
other hand in the exciting family game.
Mrs. Mello was duly allowed to swear
to a warrant for the arrest of Antoine
on charge of deSertion, and after tell
ing officer Hanrahan where she thought
Antoine could be found she left the sta
tion with the mother-in-law who is
helping her to bring the recalcitrant
husband to a realization of his duties.
If she can't have her hubby at home
Mrs. Mello wants to have him on the
reef.
The charge against Mello is deser-
ton. The Judge has done his level best
to effect a reconciliation, even going
so far as to tell Mello that he would
have to make roads with Captain
Henrys workmen from Oahu prison, IL
he didn't take his clothes back home.
Now 1t remains to be seen what will
happen when he and his wife stand
before the bench again.
The desertion case of David Aea,
which was taken under advisement by
the judge on Friday last, was decided
this morning by the discharge of the
defendant. His honor stated that Aea
had not deserted without cause" and
ordered him released.

It IS CRUELTY 70 FISH
HUMANE SOCIETY ASKED TO
TAKE UP NEW WORK.
Says Fishs Feelings Are Not Properly
Considered-Ohcer Miller Says They
Are Not Animals.

Is cruelty to fish allowable because
they are not animals, is a question
propounded by a correspondent of the
local Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals He wants to know
why steps are not taken to protect the
fish. Unless fish are without feelings
there is enough suffering at the fish
market in one day to put all local in
flictions upon animals into the shade.
The Humane Society's correspondent
addressed his letter to officer Miller.
1T is awful to behold the way the fish
are used" he says. You can see them
leaping alive on the counters, and heaps
are thrown away when they die.
"All should be kept in water and the
dead ones should be sold first. Let
the live ones swim about till they are
wanted, Then fish would be cheap"
The correspondent did not describe
the principal features of fish-handling
at the fish market, from a humane
point of view. When the fishing boats
come in they are usually full of fish,
swimming about in the boats tanks.
Large, deep baskets are brought to the
boats, and the live fish are thrown in a
struggling mass into the baskets.
This may be cruelty, but humane Of
ficer Miller says it is not cruelty to
animals. That the fish do not enjoy it
is quite evident to anyone who has
seen a mass of them lashing one an
other as they struggle. They are car
ried away in the baskets and placed on
the fishmarket counters, still alive and
gasping for water and now and then
indulging in a few bounces round the
stone tables.
There is no society for prevention of
cruelty to fish, and some how no ore
seems to bother about the way they are
treated, except the local animal So
ciety's correspondent, whose heart was
evidently touched when he saw un-
lucky captives brought in from the deep
dying their slow death from lack of
water.

HE TIGER and THE LAMB.
DEMOCRATS MAY INSPECT ALL
REGISTRATION LISTS.
Toma Japanese Policeman Would Make
Eligible Voter if He Carried His
Spectacles with Him.

Swords have been sheathed, hatchets
Tried and the pipe of peace smoked
I'll en- the Democratic leaders and
r;oard of Registration. The Demo-
cratic tiger is lying down with the
Board of Registration lamb and the
-essions of that organization are be-
1g conducted with the utmost secur-
~ bites in the shape of manda-
d. oceedings in the Supreme Court,
uoW threatened against the ana
my of the registration lamb but, on
contrary, the Democratic repre-
:. .tives have been given seats inside
I the railing of the Boards room
where registrations of voters can be
closely watched.
After the interview which Chairman
Mccarthy had with the Board Of Regis
tration wherein he demanded, on be-
half of the Unterrified, the right to see
the records of the registrations, Lorrin
Andrews, the chairman of the Board,
consulted with some of the Democratic
leaders with the result that the mis-
understanding was adjusted and the
Democrats were given what they de-
manded. Two representatives of that
party presented themselves at the
meeting of the Board this morning and
were given q table and chairs to facill-
tate the rather arduous task which is
before them. They are required to can
FaSS the registration llSJS from the
pening of the registration until the
close on the 10th of this month.
There were no particular incidents
today at the registration. Toma the
Japanese policeman was turned down
for the lack of a pair of spectacles.
Toma presented himself for registra-
zion and the usual question were ask
ed him. Yes, he had lived in his pre-
einct three months previous to asking
for registration and he had moreover,
iVed in the Congressional district long
though to give him the right to vote.
Mr. Gonsalves then inquired If Toma
could read and write. TOma replied,
;th the greatest assurance, that he
could do both, whereupon he was asked
to read a sign which stated that the
,agistration office would be open be-
ween the hours of 10 a. m. and p. m.
lOma read the first few words which
were in big type but when he reached
.he line giving the office hours, he was
effectually stuck. Finally Mr.. Con
a. Ives decided to give Toma another
s5ortunity for the registrar did not
.aSish to be accused of suppressing a
voter, so a portion of the organic law
was given Toma to interpret. But this
proved fully as hard task and in the
and Toma had to declare that he could
not read it on account of not haVins
his spectacles. He LEFT the office say
ing he intended to hurry home and get
his glasses which would assure his
eligibility as a voter.
