WEAVER'S FLYING \
VISIT TO HAWAII
Famous "Commodore" on the
Acknowledgement
Knew Him.

Commodore" Weaver, of local as
well as general fame, has paid Homo
lulu another visit.
He passed through here on the steam
ship Alameda yesterday, registered on
that vessels passenger list in his usual
modest manner, IN. M. Weaver and
valet. There is one man in town, who
is very much interested in the Com
modore." That man is Bert Peterson.
Peterson has good reason to remem-
Der Weaver. He lent the adventurous
yachtsman money, SO he says, and has
seen nothing in return for it as yet.
Peterson visited aboard the Alameda
while she was in port yesterday and
had heart to heart talk with the gen.
tleman who has at different times man
aged to make such entertaining read
ing in the newspapers of the States,
Honolulu and Australia
Weaver was last in the port of Ho-
nolulu in the yacht Norma in Septem-
Der, 1899. A dark, handsome woman
accompanied him and was introduced
to all who were admitted to the society
OF the delightful pair as his sister-in-
law. A bottomry attachment against
the Norma hove in sight soon aftersth
mysterious Weaver had anchored his
palatial little craft in the neighborhood
of 'Hoodoo Row. or Rotten Row."
Someone away over the sea in the ORR
ent had instituted the suit, claiming
that Weaver was indebted to them for
certain moneys. Weaver told an Adj
vertiser reporter at the time that the
whole affair was a deep-laid scheme
to blacken his good name and to pre-
vent his having his own sweet way in
certain matters. Weaver, however,
went to San Francisco from here and
left his yacht here at the wish of in
terested parties
Shortly afterwards he returned to
Honolulu with the money required to
settle all claims against him and the
Norma was released.
One beautiful day Bert Peterson, |
Weaver and the sister-in-law sailed |
away for the South Sea Islands in the |
little yacht Norma. They arrived and |
cropped anchor at Apia. AT Apia, Pc |
terson and Weaver secured options on |
some land for the purpose of starting |
a cocoa plantation. Peterson shortly |
after this must have received a revela-
ton concerning the business methods
IF the Commodore for he left him
ind his sister-in-law and went to Aus
ralia. Peterson returned to Honolulu
asst year.
Weaver continued to flourish until he
truck Auckland, when heswas badly in
iced of money. He borrowed cash from
trusting woman in that city and then
allied for Sydney. The woman pursued
i'm. AT sydney the yacht was attach
d and the Commodore" left her and
eturned to the United States.
1t is understood that Bert Peterson
1ill institute action against Weaver in
he Page Page courts.
