Sam Parker the nominee for Congress
was sent for as the members of the
central committee desired to talk with
him about his campaign but Parker
was no where to be found so they had
to get along without his advice.
1t was decided to send speakers to
the various districts without delay and
inaugurate an aggressive campaign. 1t
was further directed that campaign
literature should be literally sent
throughout the Territory. Translations
of the platform will be distributed
among the natives in order that there
will be no chance of their failing to

pohed for the benefit of the visitors,
who thought they might not be through
until too late for the usual time of
sailing The Mauna Loa was also kept
till twelve to accommodate the ''pollies, -
but nearly all of them took advantage
of the opportunity to get a few more
hours in town, waiting for the Kinau or
Claudine.
AS it happened both steamers might
have left on time and taken the dele
gates, for the Republicans got through
in good time last night. There was a
meeting of the Central committee, how

for.

PAIN AND HIS CAR MULES.
THE HUMANE soCIEETY AFTER
HIM.
Mrs. Craft Says He Sends Out Mules
Too Old for Business-A Cruelty to
Animals Case. t='~v' 81

The Humane Society is after Pain
now. Mrs. Helen Wilder Craft saws
that the head of Honolulus wonderful
street car system does not take proper
care of his mules nor allow them to re-
tire when they reach a ripe old age in
which they are not fit to drag cars
along the winding tracks of Honolulu's
streets.
The case of Sam Sniffin who was fined
$40 yesterday for cruelty to two mules,
is the immediate occasion of the HUI
name Society campaign against Pain.
Sniffin laid the whip very heavily on
two mules that were trying to pull a
bus up Nuuanu hill.
1t is now claimed that the two mules
were too old to pull the bus, whip or no
whip Mrs. Craft stated this morning
that Pain and not Sniffin, was respon-
sible for the cruelty. Sniff1n tried to
drive the mules because 1t was his Job
but it was not his fault that they were
so old that even whip wouldn't make
them run.
Sam Sniffin was promptly "fired" by
Pain after the fine was imposed, and
Pain made no effort to defend him. The
prosecution had another charge to bring
against the young man, but did not
press it. When he was arrested and
had put up bail, the man who carries
the name of Sniffin with him went back
to work, and his duty 1t was to take out
again the same mules in the same bus.
The result of the trip was the same.
The mules, which it is claimed ought to
have been retired on a pension long ago,
gave out at Judd street hill, and a whip
was used on their perspiring backs.
Another charge of cruelty was
promptly brought against Sniffin, but
this morning when it was learned that
Pain had discharged him, the charge
was nolle pressed. The Humane society
wants bigger game than the drivers of
the busses, and when it was found that
Pain couldn't be reached over the head
of Sniffin the case was dropped.
The Pain stables and the Pain mules
are to receive a good deal of attention
from the Humane Society. Mrs. Craft
is looking up the law to find a way to
get at the street car man, and she de-
clares that he does not house his horses
and mules properly.
The idea that some of Pains mules
are too old for business meets with very
Honolulu citizens who have seen then
at work.
This afternoon another of Pains bus
drivers, Poai, was arrested on a charge
of cruelty. The two mules he was driv-
ing We're brought to the police station,
where they appeared to have difficulty
in standing. There were sores on the
knees of one of them, the other had
sores under it's collar and both appeared
to be suffering with strained tendons in
their ankles

kAHUKU RANCH FOR SALE
COLONEL NORRIS CHANGES HIS
MIND AGAIN.
Wants His Big Ranch Sold at Public
Auction-But Imposes Upset Price Of
100000.

Colonel S. Norris has decided to part
with the famous Kahuku ranch in the
Kau district, Hawaii. This Is the Sec
ond time within the last few years that
Colonel Norris has announced his land
for sale but in the present instance he
demands double the amount which he
was willing to accept some years ago,
$2O0000 being demanded now as the up
set price.
The announcement of the sale was
made by an advertisement this morning
in which Jas. F. Morgan the auctioneer
stated that he had been authorized by
Colonel Norris to dispose of the Kahuku
property at public auction Monday Oc-
tober 1. The ranch is most extensive
comprising $4,000 acres pasture lands.
In addition to the land all of the horses,
and other stock blacksmith and carpen-
ter shops, tools and annthe various pro-
perty- belonging to the ranch, is to be
sold Immediate possession will be
given the purchaser.
Colonel Norris is a we'll known char
acter both here and in California. He
came to the Golden State with General
Fremont before the pioneers of 40
ever thought of visiting that land of
gold. Colonel Norris remained a num-
ber of years In California and partici-
pated in many of the stirring incidents
of the development of that state. He
removed to the Hawaiian islands years
ago and acquired the Kahuku ranch.

DEMOCRATS Up AGAINST /.
WILCOX TEMPERS JUSTICE WITH
MERCY.
Fireworks Set off Contrary to Law but
The Judge Says the Braves Have
Troubles Enough

The Democratic whoop-up was sud-
denly Interrupted last night by the po-
lice, on account of the use of fireworks
without a license. The braves were il
Illuminating the street in front OF the
Orpheum, William Prestige being in
charge of the show, when Deputy Sher-
iff Chillingworth appeared on the
scene.
The deputy suggested to Prestige that
he was likely to cause some runaways
if he kept it up, and intimated that he
had better say pau.
"See the boss" said Prestige with De-
mocratic enthusiasm, and he let off a
big display. Then the Deputy gathered
him in and this morning he appeared in
the police court.
Prestige pleaded guilty to violating
section 329 of the penal code, which re-
quires that a license shall be secured
before any fireworks are set off, but he
thought that the Importance of the oc-
casion was a good excuse.
II don't want to rub it in on the De-
mocrats," said his honor "they have a
hard enough row to hoe now" and he
shot plased glances at several we'll
known Democrats before him., whom he
had where they couldn't get back with
reply. .tV' BY
Chillingworth did not want to press
the case very hard and the judge was
so overflowing with sympathy for the
tion of the tough proposition they are
up against that he decided to let Pres
tige go with aSreprimand.
II don't suppose there'll be a repiti-
tion of the offepse for a while" con-
cluded the Judge. "It will ~ two years
before the Democrats will have another
chance to set off fireworks

WHAT THE CANDIDATES SAY
VERY SIGNIFICANT REMARK BY
]. o. CARTER.
e. c. Macfarlane Will Accept His No
mination, Despite Rumors to the
Contrary-S. X. Pua Will Not Accept.

]. o. Carter, one of the Democratic
nominees for the Senate, said this morn
ing: II feel that, If elected to the
Senate, a great responsibility will have
been laid upon my shoulders. The ap-
preaching session of the legislature Will
be most important one. No man can
today divine the personnel of the two
houses, but it looks to me that our
principal work will be in combating
pernicious legislation rather than MAX
ing new laws. The drift of elements
that will probably be represented in the
legislature is in the direction of depths
wholly beyond them"
S. M. Damon declined to talk for pub
lication. He would not discuss the plat
form of the party nor his own plans in
the legislature, but it is generally un-
derstood that his policies will be the
same as those Of the past.
1t was rumored all over town this
morning that e. c. Macfarlane would
not accept the nomination. This re-
port Mr.. Macfarlane denies. He says
that business interests may necessitate
a trip to the coast in the near future,
and at one time he thought it might
mean a prolonged absence from the
country, but recent advices have chang
ed this. Mr.. Macfarlane states that if
elected he will do the best he can for
the whole country. He has been in the
legislature before and is an aggressive
worker.
Paul Isenberg and Frank Brown re-
present the east and west ends of the
island. The former was in the last leg
islature.
S. K. Pua, one of the native nominees
for the House, said this morning that
he would not accept. Mr.. Booth feels
keenly the attack upon him in the con-
vention last night, and this morning ap-
peared to be in a humor to resign.
Charles David, of Waialua, says that
the Democrats have lost everything on
west Oahu by not putting a man from
that side on one of the tickets.
