PEYSER GAVE TIE CHECKS
BOTH ARE CLAIMED TO HAVE
BEEN BAD.
Recipient of One Failed to Present it
At the Bank However for Payment.
Other Cases.

a Peyser was tried on one charge of
gross cheat this morning by Judge Will
cox and a second will be concluded this
afternoon. A further charge of forgery
is also on the calendar against Peyser
Messrs Brooks, Thompson and Strauss
| appeared for Peyser while High Sheriff
Brown conducted the prosecution. In
the first case Charles David the pro-
pretor of a road house at Waialua tes-
titled that Peyser had contracted a bill
of 81 liquor and board and when asked
| for settlement had written a check for
$50 on Bishop and Companys bank. The
balance of SIG had been given in cash
David admitted that he had not pres
ented the check for payment at the
bank but had asked the cashier whe-
Their Peyser had any funds there When
informed that the defendant had not
he had made no attempt To have the
/ check paid.
Counsel for the defense made much
of this fact and Mr.. Thompson moved
for dismissal. The attorney contend
ed that no attempt on the part of Pey-
ser to defraud the witness had been
proven. The fact that A. A. Garvey the
| bookkeeper of the Bishop bank had tes-
titled that Peyser had not had an ac-
count at the bank for some time past
made no difference. For all that David
knew Bishop and Company stood ready
to pay the check and to permit an over
draft on the account of Peyser One of
| the essential facts necessary to prove
gross cheat was to show that David had
| really been defrauded by the defendant.
Such had not been done and there was
absolutely no evidence tending to show
that there had been a deliberate or,
in fact, any attempt TO defraud David.
This motion was denied, whereupon
the defence rested Offering no evidence.
In further support of another motion
| to dismiss Mr.. Brooks made the state
ment that he believed the check was
good. He stood ready to cash it GER
tainly he added.
''All right" remarked High Sheriff
Brown Here 1t is. | will be glad 70
| permit you to cash it,
piled Brooks
"Oh no" said the Sheriff you cannot
bride me with any $16 to dismiss this
case but you can cash the check II yol
desire In fact l do not doubt but thai
If the check were now taken to the
bank it would be found that some body
had deposited money there to the ac.
count of the defendant"
The check was not cashed and the
court took the matter under advisement
The other case against Peyser was thai
of T. Murakami a merchant who claim
ed to have cashed check for $50 giver
by Peyser on the Bishop and Company
Bank when the defendant had no fund.
there. This case was continued until
the afternoon.

SUMMER CAMP.
VIII be at Kapiolani Park and Not in
Manoa.

The Y. M G. A. summer camp win
be located in Kapiolani Park this sum-
mer instead of in Manoa valley as last
summer The reason for this change
is thus stated by Secretary II. g.
Brown:
THE Y. NJ. 9. A. has two tents, Is
beds and mosquito nets, cooking out
fit, but no rubber boots. Lacking the
latter they have to abandon Manoa
Valley where they were last year, but
an excellent substitute has been found
through the kindness of the park COM
missioners and superintendent Stone
at KapiOlani Park, Waikiki"
Just where in the park the camp
will be located has not been decided,
but Secretary Brown who has been
over the ground says there are plenty
of suitable places. This location will
afford ample opportunity for bathing,
boating, fishinP, cycling, ball playh &
and pedestrianism. In some respects
ii offers advantages over the Manoa
valley site as young men who do not
have vacations can go out there after
working hours, remaining over night
and returning next mornin" which
they would not be able to do if the camp
were in Manoa valley II is the inten-
ton to keep the expenses of the camp
low.

KITCHENER ALL RIGHT.
What Young Australian Thinks OF
South African Situation.

SOuln African olludllOll.
Among the arrivals on the Mariposa
Tuesday from the Colonies was g. l..
Stokes brother of John f.. G. Stokes
the assistant at the Bishop Museum.
The former has just completer a term
of service in the British army in South
Africa. When the war broke out he
was in Queensland and offered his SER
vices to The government but owing to
his youth was not accepted. Suisse
quently he joined the first contingent OF
Australian Bushmen and went to the
front with those troops. Tue Bushmen
did excellent service as scouts.
Mr.. Stokes says that one Of the rea-
sons so many surprises and captures
of British soldiers, have occurred is
because the men became careless. For
the first six weeks after his contingent
went out they did not fire a shot nor
see the enemy. Subsequently however
they learned that the Beers We're very
much in evidence. Stokes has an evil
dent admiration for General Kitchener
who he says is the man of the hour in
Africa. The trouble is, he adds. that
the British government is handicapping
Kitchener in his work Of paCiticatiOn.
If they would but give him full lee
way he would soon break up the Boer
bands of raiders and establish peace in
that country.
Mr.. Stokes is an OaTsman and may
row with one of the Healani crews on
regatta day. Previous to coming here
he held a position in one of tha Sydney
banks He will probably locate in
Honolulu.

"The Chamber of Commerce report says
that 'extravagant duties on foreign
wool do not seem in the long run to
benefit our wool growers. If they were
modified or abolished, fluctuations
of prices would be less frequent and
speculation less rampant. Consumption
of the staple would increase, as the use
of adulterants would be discouraged
The amount of adulterants, shoddy and
cotton, used in the production of woolen
goods is believed to exceed the entire
wool clip of the United States. Mr..
Dexter North tells the wool growers
that they have only themselves to
blame. They were told when the Ding
ley bill was under consideration that
too high duty would restrict the con-
sumption of wool and would thus be in
furious to the grower. 1T has operated
in precisely that way adds Mr.. North.
Although Mr. Harding does not know a
manufacturer anywhere who wants free
wool, he probably knows great many
who would like to have the present du-
ties cut in half"

York Evening Post of June 18th, 1901.
The American people all wear woolen
goods. A few Americans grow wool.
The existing laws were instituted to
make wool higher and so, artifcially, to
increase the profits of the few at the ex-
pense of all. Those wool gathering
profits are not popular anywhere now.
Nobody is satisfied with being wooled
under present tariff conditions.
"There must be some screw loose in
the wool and woolen industry. The
present tariff on wool was adopted at the
instance, or rather at the furious de-
mand, Of the wool-growers. There was
a sudden rise in the prices Of wool in
consequence, and then a reaction and
decline, and the decline has been per-
sistent and continuous, although prices
of commodities in general have had an
upward tendency during the past year.
According to the annual review of the
wool trade, published by the New York

SOME LEGENDS, MYTHS AND FACTS.

SOME LEGENDS, MYTHS AND FACTS.
Hidden away in the Geographical
and Geological Survey of the Rocky
Mountain Region" is very extensive
resume of the The-giha language by
James Owen Dorsey.
This language is the base of the
Omaha and Ponca dialects, and in this
work many legends and myths are
elaborated; they are printed first in the
Indian, then translated into as good
English as possible. There are num-
ber in the collection, and they partake
Of the tone and substance of many
Greek myths.
Similar to GERMS Fairy Tales"
One would almost think he had found
a new edition of "Grims' Fairy Tales"
or "Hawthorn's Wonder Book
The perusal of these myths leads me
to believe that other tribes than the
Omahas had legends and myths, and
brief correspondence with Capt. L. H.
North, of Monroe reveals the fact that
there were like myths among the
Pawnees.
Mr.. North writes me letter
substantiating the article on "Indian
Jugglery," which appeared in The
CONSERVATIVE some weeks ago. He
adds that these ceremonies were con-
Quoted only after long fasting and
prayer, and were a religious ceremony
Of great solemnity. He does not know
Of the ceremony being conducted after
1868. Prior to that time the ceremonies
were conducted but once year by the
head men of the tribe. When Capt.
North visited the Pawnees in 1888, he
says the medicine-men were all dead,
and the younger generation had lost the
art of performing these feats of Jug
glery. Capt. North has promised to
give me an account of other curious
feats which the Pawnees practiced. I
was to have met the Captain during my
recent trip to Columbus, but failed.
The work around Columbus goes
steadily onward, and we may hope for
some startling revelations from that
quarter. In excavating for cellar near
the city, number of relics were found,
but I failed to see the parties this
time.
Evidence of an Ancient City.
An extensive burying ground has
been found near Columbus, which we
hope to investigate during the sum-
mer. This much comes from stirring
up interest. Two years ago, when I
first visited Columbus, not single per-
son had single shadow of encourage
ment to uphold me in my belief that
Columbus was the site of a vast, ancient,
Indian city.
