WANTS THE WINDSOR HOTEL.
An Americas Company Trying to Get
the Property.

Americas. Ga. April 12.-Judge Little
John to-day granted a temporary intunc-
zion restraining Charles A. Fricker from
in any wise disposing of the Windsor Ho-
tel bought six months ago for $4,000 I'M
der foreclosure mortgages. The petition
ers are the Americas Manufacturing and
Improvement Company, represented by
President W. H Simmons. At the sher-
IFS sale the property was bought by
Fricker as a representative of the com
pany. as alleged by the petitioners, who,
therefore, refrained from bidding. Sub
sequently, however. Mr.. Fricker secured
the purchase money from a Northern
concern and made payment, and is now
claiming and holding individual title to
the hotel.
The petitioners desire TO reimburse
Fricker and assume the entire indebted
ness and thereby regain possession of the
property A hot legal fight will prob
ably be the result. The allegations of the
petitioners cover sixteen pages.

QUITMAN'S MILL Is RUNNING.
Hon. Henry G. Turner VIII Not Run
for the Legislature.

Quitman. Ga. April 12.-The work of
setting up the machinery of the Allan
tic and Gulf Mills has progressed far
enough for a trial of part of the machin-
cry. Yesterday and to-day cotton was
hauled and the mill run on regular time
This does NOT mean that all the machin-
cry is ready to run, as it will take sew
eral weeks yet to finish setting up and
adjusting 1t. The mill bought a large
supply of cotton early in the season,
which now, owing 10 the advance, is
worth several thousand dollars more than
Ia cost.
Some of the friends of Hon. Henry c.
Turner got up a petition asking him to
allow his name to be used as candidate
for the Legislature at the primary. but
he has refused TO do so. Up TO date only
two candidates have announced-Hon. W.
w. Walker and Mr. J. DeLoach.

Stock Was Paid Him.

Atlanta. April 12.-The bill brought by
p. p. O'Connor against the Interstate
Building and Loan Association asking for
an injunction and the appointment of a

plaintiff.
Mr.. O'Connor produced evidence that
he had sent in his notice for withdrawal
in time for it to be now due. The notice.
however, never reached the association,
having probably been lost in the mails.
The withdrawal value of his stock was
paid him and he dismissed the case at
his own cost.

JUROR PENN SENT TO JAIL.
AtIanta's Missing Juror Sentenced
for Contempt.

Atlanta, April 12.-Juror T. ]. Penn was
this morning sentenced by Judge Lump
kin to twenty days in Jail for contempt
Penn virtually admitted his guilt. and his
defense was in the nature of a plea for
mercy.
The most sensational development of the
trial was the testimony of Judge Robert
L. Rodgers, PENIS attorney, that Detec-
tive w. A. Bradley had offered him money
TO advise his client to corroborate Brad
ley's statement. The statement of Penn
was precisely as outlined last night and
contradicted the accounts Looney and
Bradley had given of the affair in many
important particulars

BIG DEAL ON THE front
American Hawaiian Corporation Sc
cures Long Occupation
Of the Property.

A big deal has just about been closed
| between the Oahu Railway Il Land
Company and the American Hawaiian
Steamship Company, which will no
doubt result in the transfer OF the bulk
OF the heavy shipping business of Homo
| lulu harbor to the Eva end of the water
| front. The railway company is COM
mencing a wharf to be 500 feet in length
! next to the wharf of 900 feet which 1t
has Just completed, to be used by the
big freight steamers of the American
Hawaiian Company. Although the ar
tices of the agreement have not yet
been signed the arrangement Is prac-
| tically completed and the railway COM
pany will give the steamship company
the use of the new wharf for a period
of ten years.
This means that a great portion of
the sugar from these Islands will be
shipped from this end of the harbor,
and that great quantity of the gener-
al merchandise from the Mainland will
be landed there. With the big wharf
just completed, and the one commence
ing for the American Hawaiian Com
pany, and others contemplated it will
not be long before the Eva end of the
water front will be the busiest as far
as freight is concerned.
The Waikiki end of the harbor will
be devoted to the business of naval
vessels and passenger steamships as
heretofore, while intermediate wharves
will be relieved of much of the crush
of trade.
The first of the steamers of the Am
erican- Hawaiian Company is expected
here about the middle of November. 1t
will be the American, unless 1t happens
on account of the trouble in China,
that the United States wants the splen-
did big steamers to use as transports
as fast as they are completed, as was
the case of the Californian, which re-
| Gently passed through here to Manila.
On the new dock will be constructed
large warehouse and freight house
also. All the most modern Appliances
for the speedy handling of merchandise
will be adopted, and the wharf will be
up to date in every particular.
The warehouse will admit of the
storing of great quantity of sugar
and the freight house will be capable
of covering tremendous amount of
merchandise.
Eventually the big wharves belong
ing to the railroad will be extended in
the Eva direction to 1000 feet, when
that corner of the harbor has been ex-
cavated and made capable of accommo-
dating fleet of vessels OF course, this
Is to come, but the time can't be very
long at the present rate of growth in
HOnolulu's commercial Importance.
1t Is not thought that the steamships
of the American Hawaiian Company,
trading between New York, San Fran
cisco and this port, will very greatly
affect the sugar carrying of the sailing
vessels. 1t will necessarily be some
years before it ceases to be a paying
business for sailers to carry sugar, and
the number of steamers In the business
will have to be greatly increased. And
then the Chinese trouble may prove a
big benefit to sailing vessels inasmuch
as the steamers are likely to be called
upon to transport troops and munitions
of war to the scene of action,
