CAPTAINS At A BANQUET THE LABOR AMENDMENTS.
PRINCIPAL TOPIC ON STREETS
TODAY.
Best Thinkers Believe the Conference
Committee viii Knock Out One of
Them-How They VIII Work.

The principal street topic today has
been the amendments to the Hawaiian
bill, which were introduced in Congress
on the last day and apparently rail-
roaded through without very full dis
cussion. The most important of the
amendments are those relating TO lab
or.
The amendment of De Almond, of
Missouri, prescribing that all Asiatics
entering the Hawaiian Islands under
contract since the date of annexation
shall be compelled to depart within one
year, is the most important. This was
adopted and is a part of the bill that
went to the conference committee. 1t
is the consensus of opinion among
plantation men that this amendment
will be knocked out by the conference
committee, and even if it does not the
Senate will never concur in it,
The result of such an amendment is
obvious, in the opinion of many of Ho-
nolulu's best thinkers, l. e.. 1t could
never be carried out and would end in
war with Japan as sure as that country
has an arm to fight with. Since an
neXation 10000 contract Japanese have
arrived in the country. This is in
round figures from Government data.
Each one of these men would have to
be hunted up, which would take a regi-
ment of troops many months to do
Then each mans case would have to
be legally decided before he could be
shipped away. The diplomatic side of
the affair would crop up instantly
There would be a protest from Japan
of an unusual order, and in a short
time the relations between the United
States and that country would be
strained to the limit
The above observations form a con-
sensus of the opinions of a dozen or
more prominent men of Honolulu
They have not yet stopped to think of
the effect upon the plantations, appar-
emily, having been amazed by the enOr-
nifty of the undertaking proposed and
its apparent consequences.
So far as Chinese are concerned there
will be little effect In the first place
Chinese are kept up with under Hawai-
ian law and can be easily located
Again, only "a men have arrived in
the country since annexation and all
of these are working on Ng Fawns
rice plantation at Wailua, Kauai
Another amendment cancels all con-
tracts entered into since annexation.
This did not come as a surprise; in
fact it was expected by the planters.
One prominent planter said that while
1t would have been more satisfactory
to have had the Iaborers now in the
country fulfill their contracts, so as to
avoid sudden change, it had been an
tjcipated that free labor would likely
have to be resorted to from the passage
of the Hawaiian bill.
1t seems to be the opinion that while
the latter amendment may be approved
as q compromise measure, the first GER
tainly will not.

ally for that ailment and has become
famous for its cures over a large part
Of the civilized world. 1t counteracts

NATIONAL BANK OF NEW

WAS NOT BONDED FOR A CENT
Though He Had Access to Millions,
His Employers Had No Guar
antee Save His Sup
posed Honesty.

NEW YORK, Oct 24-Cornelius L. AL
word, the defaulting teller of the First
National bank has not been arrested and
1t is said no news had been received OF
him. Mrs. Alvord left her home In Mount
Vernon and came to this city this morn
ing. 1t is said she does not intend to re-
turn to Mount Vernon.
1t was learned today that when the
AlvordS went to Saratoga last summer
they took with them all their horses and
carriages. 1t took two cars to transpo1 t
the outfit. The horses were bleoded and
the vehicles were all Of the handsomest
description. One set OF harness alone
is said to have cost 81 500, and everything
about the stable equipment was on the
same scale. - "
Vice President Hine, OF the First Ma
tional bank, in answer to a number Of
questions put to him in regard to Alvord
and the general situation said that the
bank had cleared up the whole matter of
the defalcation to its own satisfaction.
This was interpreted to mean that just
how and when Alvord had taken thu
moneys had been discovered by the Of
ficials. Mr.. Hine said he did not care to
talk about the matter.
President Baker who arrived at the
bank from Tuxedo, early today would not
say anything to inquiries except to refer
them to the vice president.
The First National bank has cores
pondents in almost every city of any size
in the country, SO that its mail from cor
respondents is always very large. In
some cities, Philadelphia, for instance,
the number of its correspondents is more
than half a dozen. All through Penn
sylvania, in the coal, iron and oil dis
tricts, 1t has representative banks as cor
respondents and its mail is probably
larger than that of any one banking in
stitution in this city. n-s.

Two Days Session of the Bureau at
Denver Concluded

Two DAYS session of the bureau ut
Denver Concluded.
DENVER, CoI.,,' Oct 4s-The Trans
Missouri Freight bureau concluded q two
days session in this city this afternoon.
The proposition to revoke feed-in-t transit
rates on live stock was favored by
majority Of the lines, but action was de-
ferred as a consequence Of the strenuous
opposition of the Colorado lines on the
ground that 1t would greatly injure trade
in this state by placing prohibitive rates
on sheep which would :. otherwise be
brought from the pastures of New Mex
leo and Southern Colorado to the feeding
grounds of the Arkansas valley and Lar
inner county under the old rate and sent
to the Eastern market early next spring.
There was more nearly an agreement
on the ore rate question, and it is prob
able the old standard rate on low grade
smelling, rates on grain for the
Northwestern milling centers will not lie
altered, though there was lengthy dis
cussion of a proposition to raise rates
somewhat on mill and elevators from the
milling and grain centers. This action
was generally approved, but as it would
be infringing upon the rights Of other
associations to pass definitely upon what
this association would do in matters NJ
fecting different associations equally, the
matter was postponed until the January
meeting. -H"fe
1t was decided to hold joint meeting
with all the associations of the freight
traffic managers in the trans Missouri
territory in January, when 1t will he
possible to have a definite understanding
with all concerned, and if the sentiment
expressed at the Denver meeting Is sus-
tanned, there will be q general advance in
rates. -

HANDS DOWN FIVE OPINIONS.
Judge SanbOrn's Decisions In Circuit

Judge SanbOrn's Decisions In Circuit
Court of Appeals.
Five opinions were yesterday handed
down by Judge Sanborn Of the United
States circuit court of appeals.
Denison & Northern Railway company
appellants, VS.. Ramey Alton Mercantile
company, ct al, appeal from the circuit
court of appeals in Indian territory.
Judgment reversed and case remanded
with directions to dismiss bill on It's
merits.
The case was one in which the mercan-
tile company was given a lein in the
lower courts on the property of the rail-
road company for groceries furnished a
construction company while building the
road. The construction company repu-
dated the debt and the railroad, which
was in the hands of a United States re
ceiver, was levied on. The opinion held
that in giving the lien no particular
amount was stated.
Western Assurance company, plaintiff
in error, VS.. c. s. Polk, defendant in
error, from district of Nebraska Judg-
ment affirmed.
The insurance company was sued or
one of it's policies in the lower courts ol
Nebraska, and lost the case as the re.
suit of a default. The company contend
ed that they had retained the defendant
to represent them, and as result OF
his ignorance the case was lost and they
were compelled to pay claim they never
owed. The defendant, in answer, denied
being an attorney for the company. lie
further contended that the policy was 9
valid one and the company had no de-
Tense.
Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railway
company, plaintiff in error, VS.. Nancy A
Wood, defendant in error, in error tc
circuit court of appeals for Kansas
Judgment affirmed.
In the lower courts the railway con
pany suffered In a damage suit brought
by the defendant as the result of per-
sonal injuries The defendant, in riding
from Kansas City to Whitewater, arrived
at the latter station about 4 o'clock in
the morning, and while a heavy fog was
on. By the light of the train she reach
ed the station, but found no one there
and as the train pulled out was left in
darkness. In cropping about she fell off
the platform and received severe inju.
ries. AS writ of error the company
contended that the defendant admitted
that she intended remaining at the sta
ton until it was light enough to see, anG
that fact terminated all relation between
passenger and carrier. The opinion holds
that there is no reason to assume the
accident, according to the testimony, o..
curTeu before ner intentions could DC
carried into effect, and therefore the
court can not pass on what might have
been.
