IMMIGRATION DECREASING

.A NEN Sentence GIVEN.
MRS. DIR. WOOD IN THE ROLE OF
DETECTIVE.
She Lands Manuel Gomez for Poach-
ing and Judge Wilcox Sentences Him
to Spanking.

Mrs Or. Wood played detective this
morning at her residence and succeeded
in landing little Manuel Gomez in the
hands of the police. Manuel is a small
youngster of nine years, who has spent
a large part of the last few days with
some congenial companions, in the
peach trees at DR.. Woods home. 1t
didn't matter to Manuel or his fellow
poachers whether the peaches were ripe
or not. All peaches looked alike to
them, and collie had no terrors. The
result was that the Doctors trees were
rapidly becoming bare of fruit. DIR. and
Mrs. Wood have taken much palms to
grow the fruit, and We're quite proud
of the results.

with a whip. The gang scattered, and
returned when the coaChman went.
Yesterday the experience was repeated,
and Judge Wilcox was told this morn
ing that young Manuel, like Tom
Brown, bid defiance to the coachman
from a height in one of the trees be-
yond the reach of the whip This morn
ing there was another raid, another
scattering of the gang, and Manuel, the
smallest member, had to appear before
Judge Wilcox. His brother, with
whom he lives, likewise appeared in
court and said he would try to look
after Manuel better in future.
Judge Wilcox thought the prisoner
ought to be spanked, but there is no
such penalty named in the code. Dep
uty Sheriff Chillingworth intimated
that he would undertake the job if
properly commissioned. The big brother
finally promised to give Manuel proper
treatment, and in consideration of this
the judge forbore sending the young

TROUBLES OF NAUNALE|.
LARGELY CAUSED BY PLAGUE
AND THE BIG FIRE.
Stockholders Fail to Pay or Attend
Neutrality-suspicious. Under Way to Set
the Plantation Right.

The affairs of Maunalei plantation are
a subject of many rumOrs about town.
1t has been reported that the planIa-
ton was in disOrganized condition,
Manager Stoddard having resigned, and
that the stockholders were all ready to
quit. Plans are under way, however,
by which Maunalei will be given new
life, and the plantation may be worked
for what it is worth. The principal
cause of the rumoTs is the failure to
hold meetings that have been called.
Three times an attempt has been made
to hold a stockholders meeting, and
there has been no quorum present. An
other meeting has now been called for
August Z, at which meeting a proposal
for an important change in the bylaws
will be made.
The plague and the Chinatown fire is
stated to be largely responsible for the
condition of Maunalei. The plantation
was very largely invested in by Chi
nese, and when the plague began mon
ey was soon scarce among them. TEen
came the big fire, and they dropped
out of the list of paying stockholders.
Others followed suit, and now a large
part of the fourth assessment, and
nearly all of the fifth are delinquent,
and work has practically ceased at
Maunalei. The scheme to buy a mill
has fallen through for the present, and
the plantation is without funds and
without agents. Plans to plant several
hundred acres i'm seed cane have been
given up for this season.
Henry May and others interested in
the plantation are working upon plans
for putting the plantation upon flrm
basis. The property is said to be first
class, and it is thought that new capital
will take hold Mr.. Stoddard is now in
town, but has not resigned as mana
ger. If the plantation is reorganized,
according to the plans now being con-
sidered, the delinquent stock will be
sold out, and the directors will prepare
to plant cane again, and to secure a
mill

PAIN WINS ANOTHER CASE
WAS ILLEGALLY ARRESTED LAST
WINTER.
Decided by the Court This Morning
Talk of Damage Suit-Street Car
Compromised VS. Judd Case

Some months ago w. H. Pain, his

work of double track laying after be-
ing ordered by Minister Young to stop.
The tramways manager was fined s.
and costs by District Magistrate Will

cult court and the matter was heard
by Judge Stanley.
This morning Judge Stanley present
ed an oral decision in favor of Mr.. Pain,
discharging him. The court did not
pass upon the right of the minister to
proceed civilly against Mr.. Pain, but
did forcibly deny the right of a crimi-
nal proceeding under the circumstances
as they then existed. Occasion was
taken to score the government for not
proceeding otherwise than criminally
when there We're other recourses.
1t was reported around the court
house that Mr. Pain would institute
damage suits against former Minister
Young and High Sheriff Brown. Seen
about the matter Mr.. Pain said: 81

wrongfully arrested, and it would ap-
pear that the court agrees with me-"
Asked if he would again begin work
on King street, Mr.. Pain replied with
significant smile: I'VE are not going
to sleep. However, l have not yet
talked the matter over fully with my
attorney, and can give no details today
in regard to our immediate plans for
double track laying"
1t is stated on the best of outside
authority that a compromise between
then'ival companies is well under way,
and that probably by next week there
will be a perfect understanding between
them, and work on both lines will pro-
ceed merrily. In such an event the
Rapid Transit will have to withdraw it's

OLEONARGAR|NE LICENSES
REVENUE OFFICERS LOOKING
FOR TROUBLE.
Mr.. Thomas Says There Will be Fun
With Retail Dealers in the Substitute
In General Use.

"Our worst trouble is coming" said
b. NJ. Thomas of the internal revenue
office yesterday afternoon, when we
begin to tackle oleomargarine matters
in Honolulu. You know the wholesale
license for selling oleomargarine is
$3.50, and the retail license $4S. Besides,
the law requires that the stuff be sold
in certain sized packages which shall
be distinctly marked Thus you see
the requirements are pretty heavy, and
there is lots of induCement to sell the
stuff on the sly and without license. 1
am sure we will have a number Of ar
rests to make for that sort Of thing.
The penalty may be as high as a year
in Jail and a heavy fine.
Thus far two wholesale licenses for
OleOmargarine have been issued. but no
retail licenses at all. There is some
thing wrong there, for nearly all the
Chinese grOCers of the city retail the
stuff. Just for the fun of the thing I
took a turn through Chinatown a few
nights ago and found oleomargarine on
sale almost everywhere. l made no
arrests, but took occasion to warn the
dealers again of the license Wholesal-
ers may sell from ten packages up; re-
tailers less than ten packages.
Yes; the license is high, and It is in
tended to be. In fact, when the law
was passed, Congress figured that it
would check, if not altogether stop the
sale of oleomargarne. This was in the
interest of the legitimate butter trade
of the country as well as the health of
the people. OleOmaTgarine can be sold
for ten cents pound, when butter is
fifty to sixty cents. Is it any wonder
that many hotels, restaurants and a
large number of people use the substi-
tute? l have been told that most Chi
nese restaurants of Honolulu use oleo-
margarine regularly in place of butter.
The heavy license was got through
Congress by the efforts of farmers of
the Mississippi Valley
1t appears that the internal revenue
people will make their own arrests for
infractions of revenue laws. only call
ing upon Marshal Ray when the work
becomes too heavy for them to handle.
1t is for this reason that Mr.. Thomas
looks apprehensively to the future. He
does not think with pleasure of the time
when he may tie six queues together
and drive half a dozen yellow mer-
chants 10 Jail for not paying oleomar-
garine licenses.
One wholesale cigar license has been
issued The applicant was a Chinaman
with an establishment in Falal1a. It
has been reported to the revenue office
that there will be two more applica-
tions. Mr.. Thomas agrees with other
authorities that local cigar manufac-
turers will not be able to compete with
eastern makers.

REPUBLICANS ALSO KICK
DISSATISFIED WITH THE BOARDS
OF REGISTRATION.
Wanted to See All Parties Represented
On the Boards-Governor Dole Makes
Statement.

The boards of registration appointed
by Governor Dole and Secretary Cooper
have been the talk of the town since
yesterday, and the dissatisfaction of the
Democrats has spread to the Repub1i-
cans and Independents. 1t now appears
that the Republican central committee
nor no part of 1t was consulted in re-
gard to the appointments. Moreover,
the Republicans expected that both
Democrats and Independents would
have representation on all of the
boards. 1t is not the disposition of the
rank and file of the party to deal un-
fairly with the Democrats or the Will
cox faction.
The Republicans, or some of them,
feel that a mistake has been made that
will be hard to counteract Some of
the leading Republicans go SO far as to
say that the most graceful thing for
the 0BVeTnor to do is to withdraw the
entire list and remodel 1t.
Lorrin Andrews jocosely says: ut
seems that 1 am the hoodoo in the
camp. Every time L appear there is a
howl. There was a big row over the
court of claims, and at least one per-
son said it was on my account 1 must
possess some extraordinary influence or
power of which I am not aware
NJ. A. Gonsalves, the Portuguese
member of the Oahu board, is not an
American citizen, but is eligible to nat
uralizatiOn.
1t is understood from excellent au-
thority that the Democrats wish to see
J. M. Camara, who has twice sat on
/ Oahu boards, or w. c. Wilder Jr., ap-
pointed to represent them here.
Indications are that the matter will
be a prominent one before the meeting
of the Republican central committee
next week.
Governor Dole was seen today and
made the following statement: IF a
mistake has been made in selecting the
boards of registration there were two
reasons for it. First, l was ignorant
of the custom on the Mainland in regard
to such appointments, and followed the
custom we have pursued here all
along. Not consulting the heads of the
respective central committees may be
regarded as an omission due to that
reason. Second, the parties have been
organized so recently that it was inn
possible for me to find out, without a
great deal of correspondence and delay
the politics of each man selected for
positions on the boards.
"In his interview In the Star of yes
terday Major Camara should have stat
ed or if he so stated it should have
been published, that he was offered
the craftsmanship of the Oahu board,
and that 1 well knew that he
was a strong Democrat at the
time the offer was made. He should
also have said that he declined the
position, and that I was forced to look
about for another man."
The Governor expressed himself as
anxious to make the boards as near
non-partisan or bipartisan as possible
in the new light of things. He did not
say he was disposed to remodel the list
| of appointments.

Chinese MASS MEETING. .NEN CAUSE FOR A STRIKE
JAPANESE VICE CONSUL GOES TO
HAMAKUA.
Japs at Paauhau Have a Kick About
Water-Sixteen to be Tried at Ko-
hala on Monday.

The Japanese vice consul has gone to
Hamakua, Hawaii, to look after an
other small strike among japanese lab
orers there. Consul Saito thought it
well to act promptly before the strike
assumed large proportions and sent his
assistant as soon as news of the break
ing out of strike reached here. The
trouble is at Paauhau and has an en-
tirely new cause.
The Japs struck this time on account
of the water supply system in vogue,
with the usual demand" for the dis
charge of some one they do not like.
Water is distributed on the plantation
through a Japanese who is in charge
of that work. AS there is not any too
much water, regulations are adopted
TO prevent waste, The. man in charge
has been doing the work for about
fifteen years, but last week the labor
ers found out that they did not like
him and demanded that he be remov-
ed. When the demand was refused
about a hundred of them went on
strike. The Japanese consul thought
that they might try to influence the
rest and bring about more trouble and
the vice consul went to straighten mat
ters out at the start. There are many
laborers at Paauhau and the fact that
only about a hundred Joined the move
ment is thought to indicate that little
trouble need be feared.
The steamer Upolu, which left on
Thursday for Hawaii, will once more
carry the sixteen Japanese concerned
in the recent riot at Kona from Ko-
hala to Kaiua for trial. This is the
third time the UpOlu has taken pris-

GROWN SO UGLY.

One day David David Col, the Flem-
ish genre painter, who died a short time
ago, was asked by a peasant to paint a
portrait of his father. The young ar
tist said that he would be delighted and
inquired when the father would be able
to give him a sitting. The peasant re-
piled, "Oh, he is dead"
How would you have me paint his
portrait?" replied the artist, somewhat
amused at the peasants naivete. Look
here, sir" said the peasant, this pic

sent?" "St. Anthony" you are sure
it is st. Anthony" eyes" did he
come here to sit?" "Of course not"
"Then, you see, you are quite able to
make a dead mans prortait." Col, who
asked no better than to earn money
yielded, and after making inquiries con-
cerning the old gentleman, set about
painting the portrait. The peasant
seeing it for the first time, fell on his
knees and cried bitterly. why do YOU

LOCAL CELESTIALs ADOPT NEW
METHODS.
Intend to Have Public Speaking and
Send Petition to Power for Restora-
ton of Kwang Hsu.

Chinese residents of Honolulu will
hold a special open air meeting this
evening at o'clock for the purpose of
getting up a petition to the Powers
asking for their aid in re-establish-
ing Kwang Hsu on the throne of
China. Chinese speakers will address
the meeting.
This is probably one of the most radi-
cal departures which the reform ele-
ment of the Chinese has made since
the inception of the society. The re-
form Chinese evidently believe in prac-
tical illustration of their claims to be-
ing advanced in their ideas. They could
scarcely have adopted any more strik-
ing example than the present one. Ar
rangements have been made to provide
lights and the corner of Hotel and
Smith streets, where the meeting is 10
be held, will be bright with decorations
of Chinese flags. There will be people
present to translate the words of the
speakers for those who do not under
stand the Chinese language and every
effort will be made to present the side
of the reformers.
The intention is to forward the petit
ton to all the Powers. In view of
the unsettled condition of the Chinese
government and the possibility of the
Dowager Empress being deposed, the
present document which is to be issued
may have some weight. The petition
will be kept here for some days in or
der that signatures may be secured
after which it will be forwarded to the
Allies.

"The one subject of conversation about

many men-strong, earnest and sincede
