HIS ACTIONS ON TRIP
Hicks who was on Martha Davis
Tells of Antics of Deputy
Marshal.

MILO, Hawaii, oct 2o,-H j. Metz. the
crstwhilc United States Deputy Marshal
viii probably not visit Hilo again. says
the Herald. j. H. Hicks. who made the
round trip on the Martha Davis, met
Metz frequently on the voyage up and
Listened attcntively to his pipe stories. In
speaking % the matter yesterday Mr.
liiCks said
Metz came aboard the vessel day or
two before we sailed and gave 1t out that
he would go up on her and make the
round trip. He got aboard again some
time during the night before we left and
! saw him in the forward part of the ship
the next day. In n conversation he re-
parked that he was going to San Fran
cisco for the purpose of searching the
Matson line vessels Afterwards he re-
marked that his business might take him
on to Washington, but he came aboard
witha pommel slicker. | was inclined to
doubt his statement; | did not think he
would need his slicl<er in the East unless
he was going to the Capitol as Andy
Jackson did when he was inaugurated
President of the United States.
ION the way up Metz was worse broke
than the ten commandments he ratified
Oft a Government rifle and cartridges one
day and later ratified a finger ring. He
animated that he had secured possession
of the opium captured by Lieut.. Horne
and that things would be easy for the
man who lost the dope. | was satisfied
that Mr.. Metz was in error in this opin-
ion The frien6liness shown by Metz for
one of the officers of the vessel was
amusing and SO marked that We made up
our minds that he would attempt to make
a borrow when he reached port, but this
was a mistake. | did not see him after
we landed, but n friend of mine did, and
Metz showed him 800 in cash and took
him out for u good time"
Before Metz left Ililo he told some of
his friends that his father had written
him that If he needed money he would
send him $500, and that he CMetz) had
written his father to send 1t to Williams,
Dimond & Co., so he could draw on It, 1t
Is possible that the money he displayed in
Sar Francisco was n portion of that
amount. And then again, perhaps 1t was
rot.
FRONT STREET LINES.
1t is pretty nearly shameful that the
line OF the mauka side of Front street
Cprnot be established by some one in au-
The rty, says the Herald. Between King
and Church streets there are buildings
on no less than seven lines and each new
builder is given u different, line from hit,
neghbor who builds n few weeks before
him. Such n condition of affairs Is dis
graceful and would not be tolerated in
any city where there Is "A suspicion OF
home rule a glance at the alleged side
V,ods, store ,rd church street wound
make horse kick himself in disgust. 1t
wculd seem that something could he done
to prevent this ruthless disregard for all
sidcwnIlks reminds tho Herald that since
thn Recommendation made b,, tho Adyis-
DRY Board of Street Commissioners to Mr..
NcCondIoss a month or two aro relative
to sidc,yallse Il, TIio the matter seems
ia b lrnd TLo sneci0cations for side
walks I'm Uonolulu are being publishcd
daily but as far as IIilo Is concerned. the
sunerlntenGent Of public Works remains
silent The IIllo neople felt that the visit
of Mr.. NIcCandless would result I'm some
improvements TO tie town. but their
hores seem to lave been badly misplaced.

should troiq TO realize it.
