GEN, CHAFFEE
IS IN TOWN
THE HERO OF THE RELIEF EXPE-
DITION TO PEKING ARRIVE ES ON
THE TRANSPORT SUMNER.

Major General Adna r. Chaffee who
has the distinction of being probably
the most universally successful soldier
of American history, is a passenger on
the transport Sumner en- route to San
Francisco. General Chaffee Is accom-
panied by his wife and Captain J. r..
Lindsey, 18th Cavalry, and Lieutenant
r. B. Harper 9TH Cavalry aides, and
Private Stanley, orderly.
1t has been twenty-seven months
since General Chaffee went to the Ori-
ent. In July of 1900 he was sent in COM
mand of the American forces to China
to cooperate with the forces under the
command of Field Marshal Won WAL
dersee to relieve Peking. Ger eral Chat
fee was only Brigadier when he sailed,
but when he reached Nagasaki it was
to find his commission as Major Cen
eral awaiting him.
He commanded the American forces
with the Allies during the advance
from Tien-Tsin to Peking when The be-
sieged legations were finally succored.
General Chaffee remained in China
from July until May of 1901 He was
then transferred to the Philippines as
commander in chief, succeeding Gen
eral Arthur Macarthur. General Chaf-
fee has been in the Philippines ever
since. Recently he was transferred to
East with headquarters at Governor s
Island.
When the Sumner left Manila Mrs.
Chaffee was i'll from the effects of dy-
sentery. She has "ained strength on
the voyage, however, and is now SO
much improved that she will be driven
about the city during the stay of the
transport in Honolulu. The vessel took
the longer route from Nagasaki owing
to Mrs. Chaffee's health. 1t was
thought unwise to try to make the
shorter voyage by the northern route
to San Francisco as Mrs. Chatfee' 5
health would not permit it.
The rise of General Chaffee in the
service of the American army has been
most rapid. Perhaps an even more
striking feature of his advancement
has been the fact that he has been sue
Cessful in everything he has undertake
en- since his promotion began. In 1898
he was simply a Major on the staff of
General A. Med. McCOok at Los An
geles, which was then the headquarters
of the Department of Arizona. The
headquarters We're transferred to Den
yer subsequently, When the Spanish
| war came in 1893 Chaifeo as made a
! Brigadier- General. He maze a splen-
did record in that brief bur hot cam
paign which ended in the capitulatiOn
| of Santiago.
| General Chaffee was saluted by the
guns at the naval station this morning
and Captain Whiting and aides, and
! Captain George Med. Williamson paid
an official visit to him aboard the
! Sumner. General Chaffee and Cover
nor Wright of the Philippine Commits
sion paid an official call on Governor
! Dole this morning.

COMMISSIONED
TO GET CASES

willie" Crawford. interpreter of
Chinese, created a sensation in the cir
cult court this afteroon by testifyig
that hemade his living mostly from
commissions paid him by attorneys for
whom he got cases. 1t is supposed to
be a violation of professional ethics and
is a violation of the rules of the Hawai-
an Bar Association for attorneys to en-
ploy men to hustle business, and Craw-
fords statemet was quite a sartler He
was under examination as to his ability
to pay alimony.
Il made $4S15 last month";" said
Crawford. The $S15 was a debt paid
to me and the rest was commissions
paid me by attorneys to get cases for
them"
Judge Robinson and the counsel in
the case, j. NJ. Vivas and Crook looked
startled at the sudden revelation, but
the matter was not probed further until
Vivas started cross examination.
What do you get from attorneys for
cases?" was asked.
There was an objection from Crook,
and after some wrangling Vivas with
drew the embarrassing question, and
saved some Honolulu lawyers from a
highly unpleasant exposure.
Judge RObnsonorder Crawford to pay
his wife so a month and an attorney
fee of $25 with the costs of the suit.

Emmet May has filed an answer to
the suit brought against him by T. +.
Lansing, for $1,000, alleged to be due on
a note. May declares that there was
no consideration passed for the note,
and that Lansing has failed to carry
out an agreement to turn over an in
surance business, which he was to turn
over in consideration of the note.
c. j. Falk has filed a petition ask
ing that a guardian be appointed for
Susan Brash, who, he says is insane.
Susan Brash has been under the guar
dianship of Magoon up to a short time
ago, when Judge Robinson held that
Magoong appointment, many years
ago, was illegal and void. Falk says
that he is a friend and desires tnat
some one shall be appointed to look af-
ter her.

THE DELUGE
YET TO COME
RUMORS OF MORE SHORTA CES
WHICH INVESTIGATION is SAID
TO BE BRINGING TO LIGHT.

Are there other shortages i'm the Pub
lie Works Department which have not
yet come to the knowledge of the pub
lie? RumOr says that there are many
other matters calling for explanation,
and a report from one of the citizens
who was in the conference with the
Governor yesterday afternoon, is to the
effect that there is more TO come" ana
plenty of it, According to this report
there are likely to be many charges of
embezzlement, and other charges, be-
fore the Investigations are over and the
scandal promises to grow rather than
otherwise. The large defalcation of
Treasurer Wright may yet be surpass-
ed it is stated.
In addition to embezzlements talked
of, some of the contracts entered into
by the department are now looked up
on with suspicion, and they will be the
subject of close inquiry. Among them
is the contract for the filling of the
Waikiki road. The estimate for this
work was 40 cents per cubic yard, at the
| time when it was examined. The con-
| tract was let at rs cents. Other con
| tracts and the methods of letting them

PLAN A BIC RAILROAD
IN PHILIPPINE
ARCHIPELAGO
VICE GOVERNOR LUKE WRIGHT
ON HIS WAY TO MAINLAND TO
CONFER WITH CAPITALISTS
ABOUT IT.

A trunk line railroad through the ISL
and of Luzon, connecting Manila with
both the north and the south of the big
island, is the latest project for the
exploitation and Americanization of the
Philippines.
Vice Governor Luke Wright is on his
way to the mainland by the transport
Summer now to confer With lESrrrsts
which it is said are ready to put up the
money and make the project a go. He
is Fastening too, and If there was Il
mail steamer leaving the islands for
San Francisco ahead of the transport,
on which he could travel, he would go
by her.
Governor Wright is due in Memphis
November 10 to attend a meeting of the
Mississippi Valley congress an organ
ization composed of representatives OF
commercial and other bodies in the Mis-
sissippi valley states for the discussion
of matters of interest to the whole Sec
ton. 1
The railroad proposition for the ISL
and of LuzOn is said to be practically
fDregone conclusion. Aside from it's
commercial value it is considered that
such a railroad would be of the highest
value in the government of the island,
II would enable troops to be dispatched
inshort order to quell uprisings or dis
order, and where there are railroads, 1T
is considered the danger Of uprisings is
very much minimized
The experience of Mexico is locked
on as demonstrating the force for good
government which railroad development
may be in a country and among people
to whom representative government has

WHAT JACKSON SAID.

There is a persistent rumOr around
town that Nigel Jackson has made a
confession, some going as far as TO
name the attorney to whom he made
his statement. Another rumor hangs
that he attempted suicide in his cell
by hanging. High Sheriff A. Nj. Brown
states that there has been no confess
sion made, neither has the prisoner at
tempted to take his own life. A tele-
phone message was sent to the police
station this morning warning to keep
a man in JacksOn's cell to prevent sui
eide, but the police have troubled lit
tie about such a possibility, having had
a wide experience with Jackson and his
WITNESSES. Jackson has admitted only
one thing, that he was with his wife
at midnight or shortly after.
