REGATTA DAY TRAINING
HEALANIS HAVE MANY FRESH
MEN CANDIDATES.
Paul Jarret and Stokes are taking out
Crews-oId Timers Crew Not Yet
Selected.

The rowing season is now at its
height in preparation for the various
races on regatta day. This is the big
s3st celebration that the Islands have
ana the sports are always enjoyed by
thousands. Both the Healani and Mry-
ties are trying out men for the various
barge crews and, from indications, both
clubs will have strong crews in every
event
The Healanis will have Jarrett, Re-
near, Walker, Tracy, Murray and prob
ably Damon in their senior barge crew.
All of these men rowed in the recent
races at Pearl City last month aad their
aplIlty as oarsmen was amply demon
strated on that occasion.
In the old timers barge race the Hea-
lam crew has not as yet been made up
nor has there been any practice. Carl
Rhodes has resumed rowing and may
perhaps have charge of this crew. He
has already done some coaching with
one of the freshmen crews.
Candidates for the freshmen crew
are very numerous. Paul Jarrett is
gathering crowd of young men who
VIII, he is confident, prove strong can
didates for the crew Stokes who would
have roWed with the Healani juniors
last month but for an accident, is also
getting up crew. Last night he had
in his boat, in addition to himself
Lowell, Harrison, Holtzheiser, Lansing
and Berger Berger and Holtzheiser
are green men but they stood a strong
test last night and seem to have the
necessary staying qualities to belong
to the crew.
D. Lloyd Conkling will probably take
hand in coaching one of the crews. He
has cool head and knows how to ham
die green material. His experience as
bicycle trainer on the coast will stand
him in excellent stead in coaching the
green men who are TO make up the
crowd.
In the pair Dared race no crew has as
yet been selected. Klebahn is reported
by Healani members to be likely to
row in this race but Mr. Klebahn him
self, does not make the announcement.

bryant SAILORS GUILTY A PLANTATION 70 CLOSE
HEEIA WILL SOON BE RICE PATCH
AND RANCH.
No More Cane is Planted and Last of
Sugar VIII be Made in January.
Mendonca's Statement.

Heeia Plantation is, as a sugar estate
practically thing of the past. From
the best obtainable reports no cane has
been planted for sometime, and as soon
as the rattoon crop is taken out, which
will be in January, the growing of cane
there will be abandoned. How long the
plantation will remain as other than q
sugar estate has not yet been definitely
determined; but 1t will certainly be un-
til labor conditions are very different
Inn wnat they now are.
c. Bolte, the owner of Heeia, refused
positively to discuss his plans in regard
to the estate. He said: "Heela belongs
to me and is private estate. can do
what L please with it-run it on or
close it up. Whatever L do is a matter
in which the public has no interest; al
least it is none of the pubnc's business
l will not discuss my plans with respect
to the property at ALL"
j. p. MendonCa, one of the financial
hackers of heeia, who has but recently
retir d, was more communicative on the
subject. He said: "hee1a is practIcaIly
closed now. AS soon as the ratoons are
gotten off in January there will be no
more grinding and no more sugar there.
Part of the estate will be turned into
rice, the lower moist Levels bein~ utiIiz-
ed for this purpose. The upper lands
will be changed into a pasture for the
raising of stock"
"The trouble with Heeia," continued
Mr.. Mendonca, began with the plague,
or whatever the disease Honolulu mad
early in 1900 was We found it impos-
slble for months to shi~ sugar. On
top of that came the Organic Act which
broke the contracts of the laborers. Be
ing close to Honolulu the laborers
simply scooted for the city andSwe were
left without help. When an attempt
was made to have them put in a full
days work they would say II you don [
like it, I'll go somewhere else, and
there we We're.
I'VE lost between $2500O and $50, 900
on the crop of that year. Naturally
everybody was disgusted. Mr.. Bolte
offered to buy out and we sold. The
labor situation has continued the same,
except that even higher prizes have
been asked and that has induced Mr..
Bolte to divert the estate to different
purposes"
Heeia is one of the oldest plantations
in the Islands, having been establish
ed early in the seventies by John Nc
Keague and others. 1t afterwards came
into the hands of NJ. S. Grinbaum &
Company and associates, including j. p
Mendonca. From those hands it went

EXPERT IS INCOMPETENT
MUCH UNNECESSARY EXPENSE
INCURRED.
Financial Showing of the Wireless
Telegraph Company-Steady Growth
of Business.

The wireless telegraph company does
not mince words when it speaks of the
experts sent here, to install the Marconi
system. Clinton j. Hutchins,, treasurer
of the company has just presented a
financial statemen6 of the affairs of
the company addressed to the officers
and directors in which he says:
Herewith | hand you balance sheet
of the Company to and including June
3Oth, 1901, together with statement
showing the cost of installing each sta
ton; the cost of changes where made
necessary through the incompetence of
Marconi experts, together with the
amount of money due from assess
ments."
The number of messages sent have
steadily increased from month t. month
from 127 in March, 1856 in April, $50 in
May to>2l6 in June; total of $40. The
tolls have been March, S3l59O; April
$4O6l5; May, $455S0; June, $534; total,
$1711.S5.
The report continues:
THE daily cost of operating the sys-
tenn is about $25.65, counting 26 working
days per month. The total monthly ex-
pense is as follows: Salaries of opera
tors, messenger and treasurer 1897;
rents, $67; royalty of Marconi, 1902;
total, 1867.
"This amount does not include such
expense as commissions to the Tele-
phone companies on the island of Ha-
wall, postage, etc. which are necessa-
rily an unknown quantity and which
would probably increase the daily cost
of operation to about $50.
II would respectfully call your atten-
ton to the wholesome increase in busi-
ness which is noticeable from month to
month The June business was about
70 per cent greater than March.
Negotiations are now in progress
for installing the Kauai system. This
system should increase our revenue
considerably.
I'VE should have no trouble now in
collecting the unpaid assessment which
will clear up all outstanding indebted
ness and leave quite surplus"

SPEAKS MANY LANGUAGES
A SAILOR WHO KNOWS SEVEN
TONGUES.
Can Also Speak All the Scotch and
-Four African Dialects-Thinks Of Set
tling in Honolulu.

Probably the most accomplished lin
guist now in honolulu Is a coiored man
who arrived here as steward of the
schooner Sehome recently. His name Is
| George MacCaulay and he is a native
| of cuba. MacCaulay has enough Ian
gueges at his command TO Distribute
them among dozen people. he speaks
| English, French, spanish, Portug uese,
Italian, Norwegian and Swedish. In
addition to all of these, which he speaks
fluently, he understands the diiGerent
| Scotch dialects and also has acquired
four different dialects of Africa. He
also has a smatterfng of one of the dia-
lects of China and can probably make
himself understood in nearly very sec
tion of the globe he visits. He has
ben here about month but he has
already begun to learn the Hawaiian
LANGUAGE.
MacCaulay has had a varied history.
He was born in Cuba in 1852, in the pro-
vince of Matanzas. He was adopted by
Scotch family named MacCaulay and
taken to Edinburg when about years
of age. They planned to give him an
excellent education for even at that
early age he developed unusual mental
activity. For seven years ne went to
school and college getting as far ad-
vanced as the second college in Edin-
burg. He was forced to leave school
and gradually drifted into seafarins
life.
He has visited nearly every country
in the world and he always took the
opportunity of learning the language.
He developed a remarkable talent for
acquiring languages. Most of the Ian
guages he knows were learned in the
various countries he visited but his
first knowledge of Norwegian and
Swedish was gained from his shipmates
at sea. He says he would listen to
them and ask questions and improve
the time learning from them. He has
learned some languages within six
months. To him it is easy to acquire
language.
MacCaulay intends to remain here.
He says he is tired of a seafaring career
and now at the end of 81 years on the
sea- he wants to settle down and get
nice quiet berth ashore. He and De-
tective KAPPA have struck up quite
a friendship and while he is teaching
David some of the different languages
David is aiding him in acquiring the
Hawaiian tongue.

APPEALS BY BOTH SIDES
WAILUKU WATER RIGHTS CASE
DECIDED.
Supreme Court Sustains Second Circuit
In Wailuku Suit Against Spreckels
and the Hawaiian Commercial

The Supreme Court this morning rem
dered decision in the case of the Wal
luKu sugar sOmpany against Claus
Spreckels and the Hawaiian CONNER
cial and Sugar company, sustaining the
order of the Second Circuit and dis
missing appeals brought by both sides.
The suit was begun in 1897 for the ac-
QUESTION OF a right of way for a water
pipe and fiume at Wailuku. Spreckels
ueeded his property inyolved in the
cause to the Hawaiian Commercial and
Sugar Company, whereupon the court
dismissed the case as to Spreckels. The
plaintiff appealed from the order of
dismissal The defendant corporation
appealed from a decree, signed by stl-
pulation subject to the right of appeal
granting plaintiff the disputed right OF
way and assessing damages at $780,
The decision reviews the court pro-
ceedings and finds an error in not sub
stituting the corporation for Spreckels
instead of dismissing the action as tC
the latter, but holds that such error
did not affect the case. 1t concludes al
follows:
We have considered only the ques-
tions raised by the parties and not Ger.
tain other questions which naturally
suggest themselves but which we are
led to believe the parties have inten-
tionally omitted to raise.
THE defendants appeal is dismissed
The plaintiff states that it does not care
to press its appeal in case the defend.
ants appeal is not sustained. Its ap'
peal alFo is dismissed on the ground
that the order appealed from was moi
prejudicial to 1t, in view of the fna
decree in its favor"
Kinney, Ballou and McClanahan were
for plaintiffs and A. s. Hartwell for de-
PENDANTS. The decision is unanimous
