TIE LARGE land HOLDINGS

The United States interviewed in the
case of j. b. AtheTton VS.. the Wahiawa
Sugar Company in Judge Gears court
this morning. Acting District Attorney
appeared on behalf of the Federal Gov
ernment and secured a postponement of
the case for thirty days, to allow him
to communicate with Washington and
receive instructions in about enforcing
the thousand acre" clause in the Or
ganic Act
q The action of the United States At
torney is of the greatest Importance,
as it may percipitate a general move by
the Federal authorities to enforce the
clause which says that no corporation
in the Hawaiian Islands shall hold and
acquire more than thousand acres of
land. Dunno will write to Washington
at once for instructions.
The case had been set for trial this
morning, Judge Gear having stricken
from the defendants answer all re-
ference to the alleged violation of the
thousand acre rule, declaring that such
violation had nothing to do with the
suit Judge Gear wrote to the District
Attorney as United States representa-
tive, however, calling his attention to
the matter, for such action by your
self as you may deem proper under the
circumstances
The result was Dunne's appearance in
court this morning, with a request that
the case be postponed for thirty days.
He stated that he desired to receive ad
vices from the Attorney General at
Washington before taking any steps in
the matter.
The plaintiffs made strenuous ObjeC-
tions to any delay i'm hearing the case,
They declared that a business enter
prise was being put off by the suit and
that the United States could not gain
anything by intervening anyhow. If
the suit went on and was decided either
way the United States would not lose
any of it's rights in the matter The
Federal government would be In the
same position as now and able to com
mence whatever actions it thought pro-
per.
Judge Gear granted the postpone
ment.
If instructions to enforce the clause
are received from Washington, proceed
ings may be begun in the Federal court
here against many corporations.

STEALING FROM BEE HVt.T0 RPLANT At HAMAKUA.
NERVY MISCHIEF OF PORTU-
GUESE YOUNGSTERS.
They Make Raids on the Bee Farm
Near Diamond Head-Half a Dozen
Hives Destroyed.

Some Portuguese youngsters in the
Punchbowl REGION have struck the
latest and nerviest thing in infant mis-
chief and depreciation. They have been
robbin~ the bee-hives kept by the Jap
anese beehive man on the slopes of
Tantalus. The average youngester is
supposed to have a lively sense of the
dangers that surround a large colony
of bee-hives, and to limit his mischief
to throwing small stones and then run
ming away. but these Portuguese kids
break the hives up and get the honey.
Complaint was made a few days ago
that men VINO were at work on the
agricultural station had been breaking
up the bee-hives allowing their teams
to walk over them. Commissioner
Jared Smith was threatened with a
legal proceedings for malicious injury,
and an Investigation was set on foot
1t appears that the Portuguese young
hopetuls have destroyed half a dozen
hives and got all the honey therefrom
by throwing big stones on them. They
run up close to "A hive, throw the stone
on to it and then run. The result is an
overturned hive, a big buz2ing cloud of
bees and some flying Portuguese. From
a distance the troubles of the swarm
of bees are watched until all appears
safe and then the boys return with
more stones II the hiVe is not broken
up. In time the destruction is complete
and the bees begin to clear out. The
boys in several cases have got most
of the honey from hives by this process.
and half dozen broken up hives near
the roadway give silent testimony to
their daring.
The Jap nut in a claim of $40 each for
his hives, thinking Jared Smiths men
had done the damage, but an investiga-
ton showed that the boys had done
the work. The hives have been order
ed off the naval reservation and are
now being moved, and the vicinity is
a good one to stay away from. A watch
is being kept for the boys. and they
will be arrested for malicious mischief

SMITH MAKES A FIND LAND TITLES MUDDLED
THE MAN DIoGENEs WAS LOOK
ING FOR.
Squatters Being Turned Out of Their
Experiment Station.

Agricultural Commissioner Jared
Smith is ousting a number of squatters
who have had their homes on the tract
of land taken over by the government,
on the slopes of Tantalus. The COM
missioner is having some varied expe-
riences with the men who have to leave
for pastures new, and some of them
have claimed that they had a title to
the land they occupied. One native
leaves a splendid sample of the old
style native grass hut, in which he has
lived for a number of years. 1t is close
to Smiths new home, and will be left
standing.
When the squatters were told that
the United States wanted the land and
that they must so, Smith informed
them that he would pay each one his
pro rata for the land he had cleared
The government would have had to pay
for clearing the land anyhow, and it
was held that it would be only fair to
let the squatters have pay for what
the government saved on account of
their work.
The old occupant of the grass hut re-
fused to accept a cent. He said he un-
derstood all about Uncle Sans plans on
Tantalus, and didn't want any pay for
getting out. The honest old native said
he had been told when he took up his
place years ago that he might have to
go when the land was wanted, and now
to pack up and leave without recon-
pense for his work. Smith offered him
the money due him for the clearing he
had made, but the old Hawaiian refus-
ed to take a cent. He has left his hut
and is living down town.
Some of the other natives were quite
different. They not only took the money
offered, but in one case doubling up
was tried, new claimants coming for
ward after the occupant had been paid
One man said he had a right to his
place and sent a lawyer to see Smith
After it was explained that the Depart
ment did not need to pay anything al
all, the lawyer saw things differently.
Smith thinks that in the occupant OF
the hut he has found the man that Do
genes was looking for. "Such honesty
and generosity under the circumstances
is rare indeed" said Smith. "The old
man shows the fine Hawaiian spirit we
have read so much about. 1t is the
general idea that the government is lie
gitimate prey for all that can be got
out of it, but here is a man who would
not take what he was told was due him
from the government, when he was
being turned out of his home. Certain.
ly he showed a splendid spirit, ard ]
hope he will do well in a new home"

WANTED 70 KILL Captain
DRUNKEN SAILOR attacked
DOWDELL.
Threatened to Kill Him With Bottle
Said to Have Drawn Revolver ON
Deck of Zealandia.

Captain Dowdell of the Zealandia had
a narrow escape yesterday afternoon
from being severely beaten by several
drunken members of his crew. As IT
happened. the sailors We're Overpowered
and sent below in irons The trouble
arose on account of the sailors getting
drunk, there being no grievance against
Captain Dowdell or the vessel
About 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon
one of the coal passers, Cunningham
by name, came aboard the vessel. He
was intoxicated and displayed his con-
ditiou i'm an unmistakable manner.
Captain Dowdell was standing on the
main deck when the man came aboard
and as Cunningham was inclined to be
boisterous the captain ordered him be
low. This order was to Cunningham
like a red flag to a bull. With an oath
he drew a whiskey bottle from his
pocket and rushed toward -,e captain,
waving the bottle in the air.
IN fix you" yelled Cunningham,
"Tll fix you. I'll kill YOU and with
oaths Cunningham advanced upon
Captain Dowdell The latter repeated
his order to Cunningham but the coal
passer was beyond all reason and con-
tinued to advance upon his captain.
Dowdell retreated along the deck with
Cunningham i'm chose pursuit.
Mrs. Dowdell the wife of the captain.
happened to be on the deck at the time
When she saw the danger which threat
ened her husband she screamed at the
top of her voice for help. 1t is re
ported that Cunningham dropped the
bottle and drawing a revolver levelled
ii at Captain Dowdell and declared that
he intended to take his commanders
life,
Fortunately the first assistant en-
gineer and other members of the crew
were standing just aft of the gangway
and when they realized the danger they
Immediately rushed up and restrained
Cunningham. The frenzled man was
sent below and placed in irons. An
other member of the crew was also
drunk and it was found necessary to
give him similar treatment although
he did not create quite as much dis
turbance as Cunningham or carry his
resentment to the captain to such an
! extent.
! Reports of the disturbance were con-
/ siderably exaggerated. One statement
was to the effect that five men had been
put in irons. The statement regarding
the sailor having flourished revolver
at Captain Dowdell was denied by the
members of the crew and no one could
be found who had actually seen the re-
volver drawn by Cunningham.

DID NOT REACH HIS HOME
SAD DEATH OF EX-CASHIER
WHELAN.
Steamer Trip to the Coast Too Much fol
Him-Died Within an Hours Journey
From Home.

News was received by the S. S. Zea-
landla of the death of ex-cashier Whe-
Ian of the Internal Revenue office.
Whelan resigned and left here for his
home in San Leandro, owing to i'll
health. He was suffering with con-
sumption. The trip did not do him any
good and the day after arriving in
San Francisco he died.
Whelan's home in San Leandro was
only just across the bay from San
Francisco, but he was not able to get
there. He reached San Francisco in
such weakened condition that he
was not even able to cross the uay to
his home.
Whelan was a young man of twenty
seven, and the news Of his death was
a shock to his late associates IN the In
ternal Revenue office here. He is spok-
en- well of by Collector Chamberlain and
those who worked with him here. 1t
was thought when he left that the voy-
age would do him good, and he proposed
to go to Arizona or Colorado in the hope
of regaining strength.
