TAKEN UP BY TRUSTEES.
Rumors of Immediate Foreclosure I'm
less Personal Effects are Given UP.
Gear Prefers Court Procedure.

"A meeting of the representatives Of
the creditors Of Gear, Lansing & Co.,
was held this morning at which it is
rumored steps were taken to obtain an
early settlement of the affairs of the
concern.
1t is said that A. V. Gear objects to a
voluntary assignment which would give
the trustees obsolute control of the as
sets, meaning that they would realize
Immediately on the assets at the pres
ent valuations in order to realize ready
money. Mr.. Gear would prefer court
proceedings in the shape of a receiver
snip or otherwise, which would mean
that no property would be sold without
the approval of the court.
1t is stated that some of the credi-
tors insist upon the giving up of all per-
sonal effects by the members of the firm
under the penalty of immediate fore
closure.
T.. f. Lansing was seen this morning
and stated that no proceedings had cul-

ELECTRICITY RUNS RIOT .APPEALFRON APPRAISERS
JUDGE ESTEE MAKES AN ORDER
FOR HAMANO.
The Court Sends an Order of Service to
The United States Marshal of New
York City.

II. HamanO, a japanese merchant
and importer, has brought suit in the
United states District court to secure
an Interpretation of the tariff law as
relating to Japanese slippers. Hamano
made an appeal some time ago from
a decision of Collector Stackable that
the shoes came under the head of
manufacture of leather" and were
therefore subject to a duty of 80 per
cent. The appeal was not a very for
tunate one, for the Board of Appraisers
decided that there was no leather in
the snoes and that the shoes came un-
der another head, under which 45 per
cent would have to be paid on them.
Hamano now seeks to have the court
decide what the shoes are, and where
they belong in the lists of goods given
in the tariff laws. He claims that the
board erred in deciding that raw-hide
is not leather and that there is no
leather in the shoes. The latter are
the ordinary iron-heeled japanese slip
pers, made of straw, etc. 1t is said
that the iron on the shoes is the rea-
son for the appraisers decision that
the duty should be As per cent.
This morning Judge Estee made the
following order in the matter:
Whereas, H. Hamano, an importer,
has applied to this court for review of
in a decision of the Board of the United
States General Appraisers on duty at
the Port of New York, in the State of
New York, which said decision
was made and rendered on the third
day of September 1901, in the matter of
the protests classifying said merchan-
disc for duty as articles or wares not
specially provided for, composed wholly
or in part of irOn' dutiable at the rate
of 45 per cent ad valorem under para
graph 1913 of the Tariff Act of 1897, which
said merchandise was imported into the
United States at the said Port of Homo
lulu, Territory of Hawaii, and entered
at the custom house thereof on October
10, 1900; and,
Whereas, said II. Hamano has duly
filed his application and petition for a
review Of said decision, praying among
other thing that the said Board OF
United States General Appraisers be
ordered to return to this court the re-
cords and evidence taken by them in
said case together with a certified
statement of the facts involved in such
case, and their decision thereon,
Nov, therefore upon consideration of
the premises upon motion of Thomas
Fitch, attorney for said applicant and
petitioner, it is hereby ordered that the
United States General Appraisers on
duty at the Port of New York State of
New York do, with all convenient
speed. return to this court the records
of said matter and the evidence taken
by them therein together with a certi-
fled statement of the facts involved in
said case, and their decision therein.
"And it is further ordered that this
order be entered upon the minutes Of
this court and served by the United
States Marshal for the District of New
York on each member of said Board of
General Appraisers by delivering to

D|CKEY WAS LIGHTNING
IMPRISONED A MAN WITHOUT
HEARING EVIDENCE.
Manuel Vasconcellos Got One Month
in Jail for Assault and Battery on
an Inoffensive Man.

Although Manuel Vasconcellos was
in the district court this morning for
about the twelfth time or thereabouts
in his life, he was probably whisked off
to Jail in shorter time than ever before
In his varied career as u chronic de-
'fendant.
He was charged with assault and
battery on Maczkowich. Vasconcellos
was evidently suffering from the effects
of a jag" for he was quite unsteady
on his pins when he stood before Judge
Dlckey and moreover, carried an air
of braNado born of "swipes."
II want to say" said Deputy High
Sheriff Chillingworth, that this de-
fendant is an Old offender He has
been before this court fully a dozen
times, either for drunkenness. assault
and battery or making a nuisance of
himself in other ways. There is now
on appeal a case where he was charged
with assault with a dangerous weapon.
submit, your honor that this sort of
conduct on his part should stop. When
he gets drunk he thinks he can go
about attacking inoffensive people on
the streets. The evidence shows that
the attack in the present case was en-
tirely without proVocation and | am
prepared to prove all of this about his
record. He is an all round bad egg"
NasconcellOs tried to put a word or
so of denial in edgewise, but his state
ment did not seem to carry much
weight with the court.
What sort of punishment do you
think should be inflicted" inquired
Judge Dickey of Mr.. Chillingworth.
Il think" said the deputy high sher
if that nothing short of Imprisonment
will serve in this case"
The court apparently was not favor
ably impressed with the defendant and
seemed to join with the prosecuting
officer, in considering Vasconcellos a
bad egg for he imposed a sentence of
one month, without asking to hear any
evidence i'm the case.

SHIPPING SUGGESTION.

b. William G.. Irwin & Co.. have just
issued the following notice to con-
signees and business men generally:
"Consignees Of this city have usually
sent forward their orders by the local
steamers for goods to be shipped by
the return of the same boat. AS the
time between arrival and sailing at
San Francisco Is only three days, the
inconvenience to shippers under exist
ing conditions is very apparent, besides
causing a serious delay in the loading
of the steamer.
'"rhe above system could be improved
upon, and the inconvenience obviated,
if intendinr consignees We're to send
their orders to San Francisco by a mail
a few days ahead of the local boat,
which would then give the San Fran
cisco shippers time to secure space and
get their goods ready for shipment by
the time the local boat is ready to re-
ceive them.
such a system would not only ac-
commodate the San Francisco shippers
facilitate the dispatch of the steamer,
but would also better insure the ship
ment of goods"

DEATH OF [. \. HITCHCOCK
DIED AT HILO OF DYSENTERY
LAST SUNDAY.
Was Well Known in the Islands-Lost
Health While Attending Cornell
University Some Years Ago.

News was received today by II. II.
Hitchcock OF the death of his brother
f.. n. Hitchcock at Hilo last Sunday
morning. Young Hitchcock had been
in rather delicate health since his re-
turn from College in 1891, but the sick
ness which Immediately proceeded his
death, lasted but one week. He died
of dysentery.
Last Monday morning II. r.. Hitch
cock sent wireless message to his sis
ter at Hilo to inquire after his brother
No answer was received to that mes
sage Immediately but this morning he
received a message announcing that the
young man had died at 8 o'clock Sunday
morning and had been buried Sunday
afternoon.
Although the deceased was i'll only a
week Immediately before his death, he
lost his health years ago. He was a
student at Cornell University during
the years of 1889 to 1891. During the
last year of his attendance, he con-
tracted pneumonia from which he near
ly died. The disease left him in such a
weakened condition that he had to leave
school and return to the Hawaiian ISL
ands Since then he had worked in va
rious capacities. During the revolution
of 1895, he was private secretary to his
father, h. G. Hitchcock who was mar
shall. Young Hitchcock also worked at
Eva plantation and for the last year
or so had been captain of police at Hilo
and Olaa.
About four years ago, he contracted
dysentery. In fact, ever since his at
tack of pneumonia he had been more
or less a sufferer from stomach trouble.
Two years ago he was so i'll from dysen-
terry that he nearly died at the Queens
Hospital. He was native of Hilo and
was 81 years of age. He leaves a wife
and one child.

The Nuuanu reservoirs have not yet

said Andrew Brown superintendent of
the Water Works this morning, "but

around from the southwark, in by Dia-
mond Head. 1t hasn't rained such a
great deal up in the mountains, though
1t is raining up there now. There was
more rain down town than there was
up in the mountains. Then everything
is so dry that all the rain that fell was
absorbed by the soil, to be- given out

that the rain came from the southwark,
at Luakaha this morning there had
only been a half an inch of rain At the
electric light station there had been
about two inches of rain, though l

Desky says that it did not begin to

residence until about o'clock yester-
day afternoon, but that up to or 9

cut off the use of water for street

amounts to a great deal.

situation"
Prof. Lyons feels certain that the
conditions are such that the rain has
been general. Although the local indi-
cations that the rain seemed to come
from the southwark makes him think
that by possibility Hamakua had not
had much of it yet, as in reality the
rain came from the east

inches up to 1 o'clock 1t is the heav-
