DIR. MAXWELL NILLLEAIE ETHL D|NOND burglary
KAIUNA's EXPERIENCE WITH A
KAHUNA.
Holt Says He is not a Physician,
Though He Heals; Nor a Priest,
Though He Prays.

There was all kinds of expert testi-
mony in the District court this morn
ing, including that of a kahuna
Kaluna was on trial charged with the
Dimond burglary. Photographs were
shown to make clear how he got on top
of the building and down through the
skylight. A pair of his trousers were
put in evidence to show how they were
stained with graphite from where he
slid down the dumb waiter shaft of the
building. All the other testimony fixing
his connection with the crime was CIV
en-. Then there was called to the stand
venerable native whose stalwart
frame showed that he had once enjoyed
a rugged youth. He said his name was
Holi, and that the defendant had come
to his house a week ago last Wednes-
day and asked his assistance in getting
out of a larceny which he had COM
mitted, and for which he was to be
tried.
You're kahuna, in your way, are

well, 1 heal the sick, principally
those of my own family and my own
relatives, and there are some perhaps.
who think 1 am a kahuna," was the
guarded reply.
II was to get your services as a ka-
huna that Kaluna came to you, was it
not?"
/ Inlnk he InOuBnI L was a skdnuna'
He told me he had committed lar
ceny from a haole; I did not inquire
who, and that he wanted me to help
him be successful in defending himself.
/ told him it was a very difficult case.
! But he asked me to be patient with him
and do whatever I could for him. He
gave me three dollars. I never did
anything for him, and have the three
\ dollars to return to him at any time.
! The defendants attorney, Mr.. Strauss
| tried to have his testimony ruled out
on the ground that if the witness was
doctor or a priest, the communica-
| tion between him and Kaluna was a
privileged one. The witness, however
would not admit that he was a physic-
| ian further than that he healed people
nor that he was priest, although he
prayed.
Kaluna was committed for trial for
the DimOnd burglary, and the case
against William Hoopii, Barefoot Bill
was nolle pressed.

BOW woNGs AGAIN.
Are Organizing, and VIII Work With
out Charter.


The Bow Wong Progressive Associa-
tion will organize anyway, without a
charter, and in few days will be down
to business. President Dole states that
if the purposes of the proposers of the
organization are only those outlined in
their application, a charter will not be
necessary. 1t is upon this Tip" that
they will work.
Said a prominent member this morn
ing: 1--WE have been given to under
stand that so long as we keep out Of
aggressive politics, a charter will not
be required. Our organization will be
completed in a few days now, as most
of the groundwork has already been
laid. We will have hall and will hold
meetings regularly. Very soon the work
we are to undertake will be started and
within a month will be in full swing.
"a great deal has been said about our
politics. That many of us are in sym
pathy with the Emperor OF China is
merely a coincidence. 1t happens that
the Emperor is in sympathy with the
policy of elevating China, which is our
own idea and ideal. In Honolulu we
will encourage and help Chinese to
study western ideas, of morals, educa-
ton, business and politics. This is no
more than the Y. NJ. C.. A. Triangle
Club and the Young Mems Research
Club are doing for young white and

CHARITY THAT IS WASTED
CAPTAINS SAY THEY CANNOT GET
MEN.
Sailors Say They Cannot Get Jobs
While Blood Money is Paid for Per-
suading Them to Work.

The worthy efforts of those who are
trying to do something for stranded
sailors in Honolulu do not meet with
the approval of some people who are
supposed to know all about Jack Tars.
In the opinion of some captains there
is altogether too much looking after
sailors on the beach now and the ease
with which men can live for nothing on
shore is responsible for the difficulty in
getting crews. While the ladies are
feeding men who cannot get jobs, the
captains are paying blood money to
shipping agents for getting men.
Mrs. Berger, of the Associated chari-
ties, who is trying to do something for
the sailors, is being deceived, in the
opinion of the captains. The tars are
filling her with stories that they are
ashore and stranded, and cannot ship
on account Of quarantine. Today there
are four vessels in the harbor want
ing crews-the r. d. Rice, st. Frances,
w. f. Babcock and Tillie Starbuck. In
addition to these vessels majority of
those here want some men. In spite OF
all this demand for workers men are
appealing for charity and kindly dis
posed people are working hard to help
them. ~
There are lot of sailors in port who
are simply grating upon kind people,"
said a captain who is preparing to get
a NltNs 40 lOllS dS ne Ndll I'VE Tree
ashore Jack is not going to ship and
so much easy grating only makes it
harder for us to get men The
statement that the sailors cannot ship
on account of quarantine is not true.
They can ship at any time, and cap
/ tains in port are paying so, much per
man for agents to round them up"
! The following communication on the
| subject is interesting:
Editor Star: In your paper of the
18th l see Mrs. Berger is in great trou-
/ BILE, and has the sympathy of the ship
masters in port. Jack will never leave
| this port so long as the good lady can
! feed him. There are now in this port
! four ships wanting sailors and they
cannot get them. While here is Mrs.
! Berger wrestling with them on the food
question. Sailors don't always tell the
truth where there is a chance to work
on the sympathies of ladies. God bless
them! 1 would do the same.
If Mrs. Berger win call on our consul
general he will tell her that the quar-
antine does not stop the sailors from
shipping on any ship, and will be glad
to see them off. Those fourteen sailors
are frauds. AN OLD SEA DOG.

FROM CLUB TO PARTY.
Murray Hall Republican Organization
Changes It's Character Again.

The meeting of the Republican club
at Murray's hall last night changed the
name of the organization to the Repub-
lican party. There was not a large at
tendance, and when the motion was
voted on it was carried unanimously
The original organization of the club
was as the Republican party of Hawaii,
but at the next meeting Abram S.
Humphreys and others came into the
meeting and by oratory and votes
changed 1t from party to a club. Both
the oratory and the votes seemed to be
absent last night and it was changed
back to the Republican party.
Turk & Lewis have pulled out of the
Republican Club, or party, in disgust.
They will have nothing more to do with
the organization, which, says Lewis,
has put itself out of business by Its
actions of last night. 1.-The politicians
of the club have left it," said Lewis
this morning. THE cameTs back is
broken. What little power the club had
it virtually threw away last night. The
men who are running it don't seem to
know enough politics to run a ready
made party, much less to form one.
They passed a resolution to change the
club to a party and never amended the
constitution, What's the use of men
who don't know better than that to do
politics? I'm out. and III take my
chances in politics with the people of
Honolulu"

librarian will supply such books as the
court here may require, and will in flu

the remainder. The list begins with the

Mr.. Smith intends to collect the re-
ports required, even if it is necessary
to purchase them from old Libraries.

HOT TIME PROMISED.

William A. Cunningham proposes to
defend vigorously against the charge
of cruelty to animals preferred against
him in the District court. He has en-
ployed a lawyer, and it is said, has
subpoenaed Charles Bellina, DR.. Mon

She has also secured counsel and sub

George Duval the official rat catcher.

WANTED TO COME IN.
Captain Ward Would Allow Rio Pas
sengers Ashore.

Captain Ward of the Rio Janiero
wanted to bring his vessel into the
harbor this morning and allow his pas
sengers to come ashore. The captain
was not afraid of the port when he
heard what the conditions were, and
expressed the opinion that Honolulu
was acting foolishly in losing the tour
list business that is kept out by keeping
through passengers on board their YES
sells. The agents had decided that II
was best to keep the Rio Janiero out
side, however and she remained al
anchor outside the harbor, while wait
ing for the mail and passengers from
Honolulu.
