THE AUTHORITIES CLASH
TERRITORIAL OFFICIALS TAKE
STOWAwAY ASHORE.
Collector Stackable Refuses to America
Maru Permit to Leave Until Captain
Explains Violation of Federal Law.

There was more pililSa at the Pacific
Mail dock this afternoon than has been
known in long time. The Federal
Territorial and Togo Kisen Kaisha
officials were mixed and for an hour
and a half the misunderstanding made
things lively. During all of that time
the America Maru was detained in port
and while her officers and agents were
fussng and waxing furious over the
delay the customs people and the police
were trying to ascertain how they each
stood. The row started over Chester
Doyle and Captain of Harbor Police
Harry Flint serving a writ of habeas
corpus on Japanese who was detained
aboard the American Maru.
When the American Maru passed
through here March 1st, she carried
about twelve japanese who were en-
tered on the ships papers as stow
aways. According to the American
laws they could not be landed here
nor at San Francisco SO the crowd was
locked up to be taken back to Japan
on the present trip. one of the men
was Ito Take1iro who is said to be a
prominent japanese merchant Of Ho-
nolulu. According to the story told by
the man he failed to secure passport
at Yokohama and boarded the vessel
without securing a ticket. The ship S
officers declared he was a stowaway
In vain did he present his money. They
refused it and he was locked vi
with the balance. His brother here
heard of his presence and had a writ
issued from Judge Humphreys court
Attorney f. NJ Brooks taking charge
of the case. The writ was made re-
tu1lable on Monday.
Chester Doyle and Captain Flint were
given the paper and they went aboard
the America Maru this morning shortly
before noon the time the vessel was
scheduled to sail. They found the
Japanese in double irons, one of the of.
icers claiming that the fellow had
threatened to do damage to those on the
vessel if he was not put ashore here
The officers showed the writ of habeas
corpus to Captain Going of the vesse
who released the Japanese. Ito was
taken to the Police Station.
1t was not until shortly before moor
that the matter was brought to the
attention of Collector of t-4e .'ort Stack
able. Inspector Scanland was dispat-
| ched to the Pacific Mail Dock to stoI
the vessel. He found the vessel swing
| ing out from the dock but -ocanlan man
aged to call to Pilot Lorensen not t
take the ship out as the Collector or
! dered it detained The result was tina
| the boat had to wait for about an houl
| and a half
The stand taken by the Collector wa!
that it was a violation of the law fol
the ships officers to allow any rejected
| Japanese who had been refused landing
to be taken ashore. This had been done
| in the case of Ito. Mr.. Stackable con
suited with United States District At
torney Baird and finally consented t
permit the America Maru to depart af
| ter Captain Going had made an expla
nation of the matter The case will
come up Monday and 1t is expected
| that some interesting law points de
fining the rights of the territorial anC
customs people will be the outcome o
| the matter.

7RAMNAYS BILL NLLED'PORTO R|CANS SCARCER
DIFFICULT TO INDUCE THEM TO
COME HERE.
Cuba and Ecuador are Rivals of Ha-
waii in Seeking Porto Rican Labor
ers-Another Detachment Coming.

r. A. Macfie arrived this morning as
cabin passenger on the Zealandia
from San Juan de Porto Rico. This is
the first visit which he has paid here
since 1890 when he parted with his in
terests in the Hawaiian Islands and left
for the east He is the Porto Rican
agent of the sugar Planters Associa-
tion of these islands and has made a
special trip to Honolulu for the pur-
pose of discussing with the planters the
further employment of Porto Ricans for
service on the sugar plantations.
Mr. Macfie was the vice-president
and principal owner of the Kilauea
Plantation on Kauai but disposed of his
interests to w. G.. Irwin anu Company
and left the Hawaiian Islands in 1890
He went to Brazil and has been en-
gagged in sugar and coffee raising in the
west Indies ever since. He has a cof-
fee plantation in Porto Rico. In speak
ing of the possibility for securing more
Porto. Ricans for the plantations here
Mr.. Macfie said this morning:
1t is becoming more difficult every
day to secure laborers for these islands.
The demand for labor among the Porto
Ricans is becoming greater and the re-
suit is that the competition among the
various interests has placed a higher
valuation on the services of the natives.
There is a greater abundance of food
raised there now than formerly and the
result is that the native does not have
so great a desire to seek other locali-
ties as he once did.
I'm addition to there being consider
able of revival in business interests in
Porto Rico and the need for laborers
there greater, increased demand for
help is coming from elsewhere. Cuba is
anxious to secure Porto Ricans to work
on her sugar plantations while in Ecua-
dor large railway is being constructed
where the demand for laborers has
| caused the agents of the company to
| try and secure help in Porto Rico.
1T is not very easy to induce the
| Porto Ricans to come to the Hawaiian
! islands, Many of the natives never
heard of these island before and the
long trip is one of the greatest obstacles
| When you take into consideration the
fact that thousands of .he natives al
though they are born and live on a
small island like Porto Rico, never see
the ocean. the magnitude of the Ha-
Waiian trip to them can be imagined.
| With the competition from Cupa and
Ecuador and other places to secure the
Porto Ricans it makes it all the more
difficult for us to get them to come
here.
! How many more we win be able to
induce to come here L am unable to
say but have hopes of their being con-
siderable. Already there is another
shipment of almost $50 people of which
we are Certain. l have several ideas by
which l think that the Porto Ricans can
be induced to continue to come to these
islands. 1 prefer not discussing the
plans however until 1 will have held a
consultation with the planters associa-
tion and presented the matter to them. >

FISHING AT Hool.GNA.

A curious matter Is reported from
Hookena. 1t is said that for some time
previous to the heavy storms of the

there were more casualties in the

China than there were during the en-

gunshot wounds, the percentage Of
deaths being nineteen in the Spanish

the fact that. the Spaniards used the

Fifty-Ton Wooden Cars.

The general trend of car design is
toward larger units and steel con-
struction, and the large fifty-ton steel
coal cars have become standards. The
Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul,
however, according to the Railroad
Gazette, has had in operation for
some months past about $50 wooden
ore cars of 100000 pounds capacity
each, that have proved so satisfactory
the design is to be continued. These
are centre hopper cars. built of oak
and yellow pine, measuring eighteen
feet eleven inches by seven feet eleven
and q half inches, and standing nine
feet one inch above the rails. 1t is
stated that in comparison with short
ore cars these cars probably have as
large a carrying capacity in proper
tion TO the dead weight as any ore
cars built so far, not excepting metal
cars"
