GROWING INTERESTING
NEW DEvELOPMENTS IN CONNECTION
WITH ARIZONA MINING COMPANY.
A Prominent Warrington Man Said to
Have Been Deprived Of Prop
erty of Value.

1t Is understood that Mr.. NJ. J. Wine was
victimized to a greater extent by reason OF
his confidence in DR." r. c. Flower and
others connected with the Arizona ana
Eastern Mining Company than was at first
supposed A son of "Dr." Flower. Alteus
by name, was, 1t Is said occupying desk
room in Mr.. Wines office on It'll street De-
tween and F streets northwest, ana
utilized, so 1t is alleged, this communion TO
dispose of a considerable amount OF Mr..
Wines shares in the now notorious mining
company as well as stock in what Is be-
lieved to be a more substantial enterprise.
According to reports Alteus Flower dis
posed of over S27 600 worth of shares In
the Lanston Monotype Company belonging
to Mr.. Wine without the latters authorlty.
It Is also alleged that Mr.. Wine when
he became aware Of this action OF Flower
demanded restitution and that such was
promised, young Flower agreeing meantime
to permit himself to be placed In the Gus
tody Of private detective employed by
Mr. Wine. This surveillance, 1t Is I'm.
derstood, was of the closest character and
was continued for five or six weeks, the
detective never losing sight Of Flower IN
daytime and locking the latter In room
engaged at a hotel. when he retired at
night 1t is also stated that this surveil-
lance was terminated suddenly and almost
Immediately thereafter Alteus Flower left
Washington
In the Hands of q Lawyer.
When Mr. Wine was asked today about
the truth of the foregoing allegations he
said that all of his affairs with DR.. Flower
and his son were in charge Of his lawyer
According to the New York Journal this
morning, 'Dr." r. c. Flower and w. j.
Ashton, the promoters Of the Arizona and
Eastern Mining Company, have not ap-
peared in any of their old haunts since the
exposure of their methods DR." Flower
Is said to be travelling in Mexico and mis-
mail Is being received at No. 20 Broad
street, New York in care Of the Spenazuma
Mining Company. 1t Is said that Jewell
Flower, another son Of the DOCTORS" and
John Manful, the doctors brother-in-law,
have Offices in the same building.
A d. Meloy, who, with Robert New Of
Baltimore, the present president Of the Ari-
iona and Eastern Mining Company, is en-
deavoring to straighten out the affairs of
the concern, has taken offices in the Com
mercial Cable Company building in New
York. where the meeting OF stockholders
February will be held, and where, mean
time, all inquiries will be replied to.
Mr.. Meloy, it is understood, is endeavor-
Ing to find out where the furniture and
other fittings of the offices of Flower &
Co. in this city have gone 1t Is said to be
pretty nearly certain that the articles Mr..
Meloy is supposed to be anxious to locate
were sold by occupants of the offices to
reputable persons In this city and by them
disposed Of.

C0MITssTONERy CHOICE.
Decide Between Two Bills in Interest
of Memorial Bridge.


In their report to the House District COM
mittee upon House bills 1904 and 1902 1t
is understood that the Commissioners will
recommend the enactment of the latter
measure as being In their opinion more
worthy Of such action. Bill 1904 provides
for the appointment Of board Of ten per-
sons, five of whom shall be the chairmen
Of the committees on the District of CO.
lumbia of the Senate and House and the
District Commissioners, the object Of the
board being to act memorial bridge
commission to consider the design prepared
by Mr.. George Keller Of Hartford. Conn.,,
and the design recommended by the board
Of engineers, United States army, and re-
port their selection to Congress.
The other bill. 1902, provides for an ad-
yisory board Of public works, to consist Of
ten persons, five of whom shall be those
mentioned in bill 1904. who shall prepare
a general plan for the improvement Of the
city Of Washington. including a memorial
bridge. boulevards public parks and loca-
ton of buildings. together with such other
plans Of improvements and ornamentation
Of the city of Washington as may be con-
sidered expedient and desirable to be in
cluded in one scheme, the board to serve
without compensation.
1t Is said the Commissioners will report
scope, and is broader. and that it is on this
account that they believe 1t to be more
worthy Of enactment, as in their reputed
opinion the whole subject OF the improve
ment Of the city can best be treated in q
comprehensive plan, rather than by piece
meal. Furthermore. 1t Is understood the
Commissioners believe that the questions
to be considered can be handled better by
board some Of whose members are thor
oughly familiar with the conditions pre-
vailing than by one the members of which
will have to become acquainted with the
whole subject after their appointment, and
it Is on this account that they are expected
to recommend that the officer In charge of
the park system OF the city be included as
q member of the board. The bill would
then allow the appointment of four citi-
Gems at large, instead Of five, as now pro-
vided for in the bill. 1t is also understood
that the Commissioners will recommend an
appropriation of $4,000. or so much there
of as may be necessary, to cover the ex-
penses OF the board.
1t is said to be the opinion of the Commits
sioners that a further advantage of the
personnel of the board as provided for in
bill 1902 Is that its members, or at least
a large number Of them. Will be at all times
available for the giving Of information to
Congress and making such explanations as
Congress or any of its committees may re-
Quire. In this connection, 1t is understood,
has been the experience with boards formed
heretofore to consider questions of I'M
portance in the national capital that the
| board, having made its report and sep
arated to other parts of the country, its
members were inaccessible when questions
arose In regard to the report or upon mat
tiers closely related thereto.

THEo. F. LANSING, TERRITORIAL TREASURER.

Public Lands was born July 9, 1852, in
New Bedford, Massachusetts. he came
To Honolulu in 1862. and with the ex-
ceptiOn OF two years spent at the Bos-
ton Institute of Technology, has lived
here ever since.
He was educated at Punahou Col
lege in Honolulu, and entered the Gov
eminent Survey Office upon its initia-
ton in 1871, remaining there until 1874,
when he went to Boston and graduated
from the Boston Institute of Technoio-
gy He returned to Honolulu IN 1876,
re-entering the Survey Department as
general assistant, until 1885. when he
was placed in special charge or gov
eminent lands, which position he held
until the passage of the Homestead
Act in 1895. He was then appointed
one of three government land commits
sioners and agent of all public lands,
including the crown lands, which were
then turned over to and became a part
and parcel of the government lands.
He held this position until the pas
sage of the Territorial Act in June,
1900. when he was appointed sole com
missioner of public lands, which office
he has held until date. During the
session of Congress in 1900. he was sent
bv the government to Washington, to
confer with both the executive and
congressional authorities upon the sub
ject of the land titles and land laws
of Hawaii.
Mr. Brown has spent practically his
whole life in connection with the public
lands of Hawaii, ard is today one of
the very few men having an intimate
personal knowledge of public lands and
titles. He is a trained expert In the
land laws and titles of Hawaii, and II
will he practically impossible TO fill his
place without most serious detriment
to the public interests. From the ini-
tiation of the homestead system, Mr..
Brown has been one of the nrmest
supporters and advocates OF the policy.
He has an absolutely unblemished rep
utation for probity and ability in the
discharge Of his public duties. No
charge ever has been or can be made
| against him, of any kind whatsoever
