BIG DAMAGE SUIT COMING
MIR. COHEN WILL SUE MAN THAT
INFORMED ON HIM.
Working up Case That, He Says, Will
Break Some Man of Honolulu-His
Side of the Case

Mr. Cohen, the man whose smuggling
case has just been dropped by the Ter
ritorial government in the Circuit court,
feels very sore against some person
whom it is alleged is responsible for
the proceedings against him. Cohen
states that this man, who acted as an
"informer," was not at the time paid
employe of the government but was a
competitor to Cohen in a measure in
the same line of business, nearly that.
81 will shortly know" said Cohen this
morning, who told the lie that caused
my arrest and ruined business that
was worth thousands of dollars to me,
and when 1 find him l will break him.
l will bring such damage suits against
him that he will not be able to stand
the lawyers fees he will have to pay
and 1 am certain of getting a verdict
in the end, For two years have each
month laid aside a certain amount to
be used against that man in the courts
and / am now ready to meet him. Be
he high or low, l will break him. BY
breaking him, 1 mean that 1 will put
him in the same position that he sought
to bring to me. | pretty well know who
the party is, and am now merely wait
ing for confirmatory evidence. l will
have this in a very short time.
People of Honolulu do not know
what the chargeeof smuggling brought
| y
prior to coming to Honolulu l had
worked up business connections with
some of the best manufactures in Cali
fornia and the east. For two. years /
had worked with practically no profit,
but merely to establish the channel in
to the Islands that would subsequently
| pay me. | had scarcely gotten started
| here when this charge of smuggling
came up. There was no ground for it
at all, but l have had to bear the con-
| sequences My arrangements in the
| east were all cancelled and a business
that would have paid handsomely was
| ruined. l do not think my friends will
| blame me for saying that I will see to
| it that the perpetrator of this outrage is
paid back in his own coin"
Mr.. Cohen is now working on a heavy
damage case against the party he has
in mind and it may be filed in a few
| days He feels sure that he knows the
man and believes that he can make ii
pretty warm for him. Nearly two years
| ago Cohen was arrested for smuggling
| and liberated only after filing $1,000
| bail. The case was about some coffee
and the mistake in the shipment was
| ultimately shown to have occurred or
! the coast and not here at all. 1t was
| an instance of a wholesaler having
shipped larger packages than We're call
ed for in the order and restated in the
| invoice. Cohen's side of it was SC
clearly shown that Attorney General
| Dole yesterday asked the court to dis.
miss the case, which was promptly
done.

HE is NOW BACK IN SAN
FRANCISCO
His Mysterious Leprosy Cure Analyzed
Here Detained to be a Worthless
Fake.

George Pratt the leper, has gone
back to San Francisco. He did not
take the China, owing to strong OBJ
jections to his going, on the part of
other passengers on that steamer. The
authorities decided to lay low and send
his some time when there was less pub
licity attached to the matter The
statement that the China was to take
him had been made until everyone had
heard it, and the result was that he
did not go on the China.
Pratt was quite willing to go back to
the city from which he came, and when
a later steamer left for the Coast, he
was quietly put on board, and few peo-
pie were any wiser. iiy this time he is
in San Francisco again.
Pratt said that one of the reasons
why he had wanted to come to Ha-
wall and go to Molokai was that he
was tired of constantly feeling that he
was under espionage. He found it
much worse, however, to be in conflne-
ment altogether.
incidentally, the local health autho-
rifles exposed Pratt's mysterious cure
for leprosy. Pratt guarded very care
fully the stuff he brought with him,
which he said was a cure for leprosy
He wanted to go to Molokai and use it,
but was not allowed to do so. When
asked to give up some of his cure he
refused to do so, declaring that its ma
nufacture was a secret which he would
never either sell of give aday.
The fact that in Pratt's own case the
disease had been arrested upon which
all the doctors agree, lent some appa-
rent foundation to his claim that he
had a cure, and there was a good deal
of interest in the remedy he guarded So
carefully.
! Some of Pratt's medicine was secured
{ without his knowledge and DR.. Shorey
/ was asked to make an analysis. 1t was
found to be nothing but a concoction OF
sulphur and some leaves and his claims
that ii was a cure and careful guarding
( of it are now regarded as a part of his
| fake scheme of pretending to come here
to cure lepers at Molokai.

.A NOTED HORSENAN DEAD
THOMAS GAY OF MOKULEIA Is
NO MORE.
Bred More Racers for Local Track
Than Any Other Man in the Islands.
Funeral Tomorrow.

Thomas Gay, the well known stock
man and manager of Mokuleia ranch.
died yesterday after a long illness. The
news reached friends in the city last
evening. Henry Williams went down
on the early train this morning to
bring the body to town. Funeral ar
rangements will be made later.
Deceased was a native of Scotland,
aged about 80. He spent most of his
younger life in Australia where he be-
came an expert sheep rancher and
stock man. His knowledge of horses
was second to none, and all his life he
was considered an authority on racing
stock. About twenty years ago he
came to Honolulu at the instance of his
brother, James w. Gay, and at the
death of the latter became manager
of the fine Mokuleia ranch in Waia-
lua
Mr. Gay was a half brother of Fran
els, Charles and George Gay Of Kau-
al. Other than they he left no close
relatives in this country, having no
family of his own.
Since horse racing became a sport in
the Hawaiian Islands, the figure Of
Thomas Gay has been one of the most
conspicuous on the track. He followed
the sport here, at Spreckels park on
Maui and at HilO. Some of the best
Island horses ever put on local tracks
were bred by him at Waialua. and up
to the time imported horses began to
hold the boards his stock could never
be beaten.
Mr.. Gay leaves a very large circle Of
friends in and out of the sporting
fraternity of the Islands.

JAPS CO AFTER MAUNALE|
WANT MONEY FOR LABORERS
NOT EMPLOYED.
Brought Them Here Under Agreement
of Employment, But Plantation De-
faulted-Circuit Court.

Another suit was today filed against
the Maunalei Sugar Company. This
time it is in the United States district
court. 1t is brought by the Toxic I'm
migration Company, of Japan, and is
for the total of 81, 497. II seems that
the sugar company agreed to take a
certain number of laborers from the
immigration company out of which the
latter would have made the sum given.
After the laborers arrived, however,
the Maunalei people did not take them,
hence the suit. The immigration COM
pany now wishes to collect the amount
they would have made had the labor
ers been taken and employed at the
salary originally agreed upon.
John Cook has brought suit against
E. Colt Hebron that is more than usual
interest, as it effects the status of 9TH
er purchasers of property and land
dealers of the city. The plaintiff claims
that he bought lot from Hebron in
Palama, and that one of the conditions
of the purchase was that he (Hobron)
should lay road and water to it. on
the strength of this agreement Cook
built a $1,000 house, but neither road
nor water have yet reached the prem
ises and Hebron declines to lay either.

INTO THE HEAVY STORM
DEPARTURES OF ISLAND BOATS
THIS MORNING.
Large Crowds Witness the Exciting
Antics of the Vessels in the Swell Of
The Kona.

Not for many years have island Ves-
sells left Honolulu to plunge into such
seas as the Kinau and Claudine and
others encountered this morning, when
after being weatherbound for two days,
they left on their regular routes A
large crowd gathered on the front to
watch them go and there were shouts
of excitement as the steamers reached
the outside of the channel and began to
roll and pitch in the sea.
The I<inau went first, leaving at a
quarter past nine. She did not take
the usual way out from her dock, but
backed into the stream and dropped her
anchor to swing round and point out
wards. She put up her after sail and
slowly came round. Then the anchor
was raised and the steamer started for
the channel, with hundreds of people
earnestly watching her Among them
were the officials of the Wilder Steam
ship Company. Captain Freeman was
on the bridge.
The Kinau went through the channel
easily, but when she got to the outer
buoys the crowd had even more than
it had looked for. AS the vessel en-
countered the heavy swells her bow
rose in the air until the watchers broke
out in excited eXclamations. Then the
bow plunged down and the stern could
be seen rising in the air.
The Claudine in the meantime was
following the Kinau's course In the
harbor, with Captain Parker in COM
mand. Before the Kinau had fairly
got out of the channel the Claudine was
preparing to follow her. a heavy squall
from the southwest was coming up and
black clouds approaching made the
Claudine's prospect anything but good.
Before she got through the camel the
squall burst and the Kinau was sud-
denly hidden by the driving rain, while
the watchers had little chance to see
what became of the Claudne after she
got fairly into the channel. 1t was inn
possible to see far through the thick
rain.
The Lehua went next. Captain Ben
nett in charge. She got away well, at
about ten o'clock. Not long after the
sun began to show, the wind veered
more to the westward and moderated
and the tug Fearless went for the sugar
laden bark Kaiulani, to tow her to sea
The Inter-Island steamers Ke Au Hou
and Iwalani Captains Gregory and
Mosher, left for Honokaa and Kukui-
haele. The sea was still very rough
and it is certain that all the vessels are
having a very lively time.
This afternoon the rest of the Inter
Island boats go to Kauai ports. They
will be welcome arrivals. as few days
more of delays would pile up immense
quantities of sugar, which they would
have difficulty in reducing.
