DEMOCRAT HEADQUARTERS
NEW ROOM TO BE>oPENED NEXT
MONDAY.
Big But Rickety Hall over Kapiolani
Estate Office-English and a Native
Secretary.

Democratic headquarters in the room
over the Kapiolani Estates office in
Kahuumanu street will be opened Mon
day morning. Furniture is being moved
in today and by tomorrow lights Will be
installed. All the curios, including the
banner and display cards, brought back
from Kansas City will have places on
the wall. Secretary Hart, of the Larty's
central committee states that the hall
will be open day and night.
There will be two secretaries n place
of one. ]. NJ. Sims, of Kauai, has
practically been settled upon as Eng
lish secretary. He will be one of the
delegates from the Garden Isle to the
Territorial convention and will probably
arrive in the city next Sunday morning.
The native secretary has not been de-
cided upon, though several names are
being discussed.
The room selected is a very big and a
very old one. Plaster has fallen from
the walls in places and the house
shakes when anyone walks over the
floors. on account of the great size of
the hall 1t has been cut in two by a
wall and only the front half will be
used for meeting purposes. Secretary
Hart this morning covered the walls
with white cloth, screening the scars In
the plasterinO and giving better back
ground to the pictures and decorations
When the room is ready a display sign
will be hung across the street. 1t is the
final decision of the party that that hall
be the headquarters of the sixteen to
oners throughout the campaign. 1t will
| be the headquarters of Committeeman
| Cornwell as WELL and in 1t will be
drafted the platform and literature OF
| the party.
The Democrats suspect that number
of delegates from the other islands viii
arrive tomorrow and Sunday, with the
expectation of attending the Territoria
convention Monday evening. 1t is satc
that the decision to postpone was reach
ed so late that the notice could not b'
gotten all around in time.

CRUEL SURPRISE FOR HIS
CoUNTRYMEN.
Thirty One of Them Invited to Game
Find the Police are Also Invited to
Attend

Thirty-one Chinese defendants stood
up before Judge Wilcox at once this
morning, and pleaded not guilty to
gambling or being present at a gam
bling game. They were all arrested
last night, by Deputy Sheriff Chilling
worth and officer Hanrahan, who found
them in a King street place where a
game of PaiSow was in progress.
1t appeared that All Chon8 had in
vited his friends to come up and have
a little game and the thirty-one had
jpyfully responded, all unconscious
that the willy Ah Chong had also invited
the police. Chong told the judge that
the men had all suddenly appeared in
his room and begun a game, but the
other men declared they had been in
vited.
Three other police spies told of the
progress of the little game in All
Ohong's establishment. About half of
the thirty-one took part in the various
cross-e Only one of them
had a defense to make. 1t was All
Chung, who wanted to know If it was
not fact that the game had not begun
yet.
Wasn't everything ready for the
game, and didn't the police come before
we began?" said Chung, appreciating
the legal point that actual commission
of the offense must be proved. The
witness was quite sure that the game
was going on.
You've satisfied the court that you
were there" said the judge, when All
Chung ended his cross-examination.
The thirty-one Chinese cast dark
looks at the police spies who testified
against them, but the darkest of all
were for the unl1ind host. He had fixed
up a room with electric lights and
other convenient appliances and his
hospitality made him man of popu
larity until last night. Then the whis
pered invitations to have a meeting at
All Chong's went the rounds, and it
certainly did seem unkind that Chill
lingworth and Hanrahan should be also
on the list of guests.
Judge Wilcox fined the Chinese 81
each and costs.

DAVID AEA AND HIS VOW
JUDGE WILCOX FAILS AS A
RECONCILER.
Return to His Wife-The Dangers of
4 Breaking 1t.

Judge Wilcox takes judicial puzzle
home with him tonight. 1t is a 2ase
that made his honor announce for once
that he didn't know what to do.
Mrs. Aea had her husband arrested
for desertion. He pleaded guilty and
told a fearful vow he had made tha-
he would never return. Both jarties
acknowledged infidelity. The law de-
clares that the judge must try to effect
a reconciliation in such cases. 1t pro-
vides punishment for a second offense,
but this is Aea's first, and his VOW
stands immovable in the way of recon-
ciliation.
Aea lived happily with his better half
till few weeks ago, when she Offend
ed him deeply and he left her, swearing
by all the gods he knew, A anything
about and In every way thatt'he knew
how TO swear that he wotld not live
with her again.
This morning he informed the Judge
of the vow and said it could not be
broken. His path and that of his wife
must henceforth be different ones. To
break the vow would be to call down
upon his head misfortunes of every
description. If the vow were broken
Aea would not be able to go into the
sea without being taken by a shark;
he could not go up the mountains but
a rock would roll on him, If he went
back to work in his printing shop, one
of the presses might arises in wrath
and grind him between it's rollers.
The judge suggested that there were
ways of getting round the vow. He
proposed the aid of white rooster and
black pig, or some other sacred
charm, to turn the ears of the gods to
Aeas plea to be released from the VOW
but Aea didn't seem to want to try 1t.
Aea's profound respect for the VOW
was explained a moment later. 1t ap-
peared that he had found another mate,
since the separation and the vow-mak-
ing. 1t also appeared that Mrs. Aea
was not living in loneliness.
Many times the judge asked the cou-
pIe if they were willing to be recon
ciled. Mrs. Aea was, but the defendant
shook his head and talked Of the vow
II don't know what to do with thls
case" said the judge.
I'm sure 1 don't" said Chillingworth
who was in the role of prosecutor.
The Judge took the matter under ad-
visement till next Monday.

REET sTJG8RTEs START UP.

SAN FRANCISCO, September 10
The fires have been started at Claus
Spreckels big Beet Sugarie at Watson
vile, said to be the largest in the world
though If reports are true that will not
long be the case, as a similar enterprise
has been projected at the East on still
larger scale. The Watsonville factory
expects to make a run of 80 days of "a
hours each under three shifts of men.
Other Sugaries in the State have COM
menced to grind beets, or will soon start
their machinery in motion for a similar
run. The rains last week are said to
have been of decided value to the grow
ing beets in the Santa Clara Valley, as
the additional moisture was needed to
complete growth. STILL further rains
might do injury, If protracted The Beet
crop at best will fall behind the ex-
pectations entertained in the early part
of the season.

WATER Controversy UP
GOVERNMENT HEARS wAIALUA
PROPOSAL.
Irrigation Will Cost the California
Colonists Practically Nothing-Ths
Emmeluth Proposal

The government this morning heard
all the details of the Wahiawa water
controversy, This afternoon il looks
very much like the proposition of
the Waialua Agricultural Company win
be accepted if any disposition of the
water at all is made. Mr.. Emmeluth,
representing the Wahiawa Sugar Com
pany, was present only a short while.
He had a short conference with Man
ager Goodale of the Waialua Com
pany and left everything in letter he
submitted some days ago to Governor
Dole.
Several members of the California
colony at Wahiawa were present in the
meeting and advocated the Waialua
contract, setting forth that under 1t
they would get nearer what they want
ed than under the other. Mr.. Thomas
and Mr.. Hanna were spokesmen for
the Californians.
The Waialua people agreed that stock
of the Hawaiian Fruit and Fiber Com
pany would entitle man to water pri-
viliges free of charge. Those not hold
ing stock would have to pay. 1t ap-
peared that only one man. Mr.. Kellogg,
was without stock and only he is left
out. The Waialua company agreed to
put in all the machinery and piping
necessary to carry out their contract.
The Wahiawa colonists were to be sup
piled with all the water they might re-
quire up to one-third of the total
amount
The question was discussed until long
after II o'clock, when the colonists left
Members of the Executive remained in
conference on tn matter but reachd no
conclusion. Indications were, however,
that if any proposal at all was accepted
it WOULD be that of the Waialua COM
pany.
The Wahiawa people submitted a
written proposal in which they set
forth scheme to colonize a large por-
tion of their unoccupied estate at con-
siderable expense. They said nothing
about the Wahiawa colonists, however.

A GREAT FIRE ON MAUI |CRAZYsMGRO ON BOARD
FLAMES LIGHT THE SLOPES OF
HALEAKALA.
Captain Robinson of the Barkentine
skagit Takes the Fire for Volcanic
Eruption.

A great conflagration, supposed to be
among the brush on the slopes of Ha-
leakala, is reported to be raging on the
Island of Maui. 1t is visible all the
way to Hawaii, and has been seen by
various passing vessels.
captain Robinson Of the barkentine
Skagit which arrived here on Thursday
was the first to report the fire, which
he took for a volcanic eruption. He
first saw the fire at about $3.50 on
Thursday morning, when the Skagit
was passing Maui, and thought it was
near Lahaina.
"The flames lit up the whole heavens"
said Captain Robinson, "and l thought
that a new volcano must have broken
out on Maui, as l knew OF none in the
locality where the illumination was.
The fire continued through the night
and it seemed to be still burning when
1 sailed out of sight of Maui"
The steamer Mikahala, from Homo
Nkaa, passed Maui at one o'clock this
morning and those on board plainly
saw a great fire on Maui. 1t seemed to
have burned a huge circle and was
large enough to be visible from any
part of Hawaii channel.
AS reported by the Mikahala the fire
is high up on the slopes of Haleakala,
probably four or five thousand feet
above sea level. 1t is reported to be
between Ulupalakua ranch and Nuu,
where there is nothing but waste land
or cattle grounds.
The fire is supposed to be among the
camps of cattle men or squatters, and
is reported to be too high in the noun
tain to tbe on sugar land.

EXCITEMENT ON THE SHIP FORT
GEORGE.
A Young Giant from the West Indies
Tries to Clean Out the Crew-Captain
Morse Hurt.

Captain Morse and the crew of the
ship Fort George, which arrived here
this morning from oyster Harbor, had
an exciting time during the latter part
of their journey with a crazy negro, who
tried to clean out the vessel and sue
ceeded in injuring the captain SO that
he was laid up for several days.
The crazy man is r, George, native
of the West Indies, 26 years old and a
giant In stature He is six feet four
inches in height, and when he started
with club to clean out the forecastle
it did not take him long to finish the
job.
Georges first signs of insanity were
shown on the 18th, when he attacked
the man at the wheel in the morning,
declaring that the man tried to shoot
him. Then the negro went to his bunk
lit a pipe and announced that he was
not going to do any more work this
trip.
II thought he might have been i'm
posed upon by the whites" said Captain
Morse, land went forward to sympa-
thize with him and see that he got fair
treatment. He shouted that he would
do no more work.
"'I think you WILL I said, and 1
took the pipe away and with the help
of several men we put him in jail, not
using irons He seemed to become all
right, and 1 released him.
"In short time he had the ship In
state of panic. He began throwing
things over and he chased members of
the crew with a razor, and naturally
none of them wanted to tackle him. He
is a man of tremendously powerful
physique and he would have thrown
everything that was loose overheard If
we had left him alone, so I went for
him.
I'm the fight he gave me blow that
Knocked me against the side of the
ship, striking my breast over spot
where L had two ribs broken a few
years ago, and the effect of the blow
put me on the shelf for three or four
days"
The irons were used on the negro this
time and as he seemed to have very
strong objections to going below, he
was chained to the main hatch. and
there he spent the last ten davs of the
journey. He was given his bed on
deck
The negro behaved quietly after he
was once secured and now the rest of
the rest of the crew are talking of coal
fever" This Is disease which some
tinaas attacks seamen on coal vessels
and it's principal result is 10 enable the
victim to escape the job of working out
the coal at the port of destination. Cap
tain Morse however, thinks. that the
negro is really crazy, and he Will turn
him over to the authorities here.

JAPANESE FIRE CLAIMS.
Little Brown Men Will Discuss Them
Saturday Night.

A meeting of Japanese interested in
the recent fire in Chinatown will be held
tomorrow evening at o'clock in The

has been called by japanese Consul

this morning regarding what steps
were to be taken by the japanese 30

several times regarding the damages

has assured me that he will see that the
matter is brought to the attention OF

any, is to come from that body. ] have
hopes that our claims will be settled.
1t is necessary however to secure data
concerning the amount or the losses and
l have asked my countrymen to supply
me with all necessary information upon
this point. l believe that fully 5000
Japanese, including men, women and

fire. In case the legislature should fail
to pass a measure affording us relief

of our minister at Washington and wait
