NEW CANDIDATE TO WATCH FOR BUGS.
HOME RULERS TALK OF AUGUST
DREIER
The Committee to Meet This Evening.
Emmeluth and Kalauokalani Still
Stick to Beardslee.

The Home Rule nominating commit
tee was to have held a meeting last
night to settle the nomination question,
but did not get together. The mem-
bers now expect to meet this evening
and select their candidate There are
only five days more I'm which to place
the nomination on file.
A new candidate has been brought
forward TO contest the nomination Of
+. w. Beardslec He is August E.
Dreier whose selection is favored by
some Of the committee. Dreier has not
stated that he will run, but he is being
talked of. He is mentioned as a good
Republican, so that if they choose
him the Home Rulers will still be car
rying out their policy of taking a man
from the Republican party Dreier
was plantation man formerly and is
now rated as a capitalist.
Emmeluth and Kalauokalani stick to
Beardslee, and will try to have the
committee name him. Emmeluth stat
ed this morning that one or the other
would almost certainly be nominated
this evening.
The Republicans are still without a
candidate, and there is little chance
that they will put one up. This will
make the election an uninteresting
matter Of form. There will be nothing
to interest or concern the public in see
ing a lone candidate receive all the
votes that citizens are willing to take
the trouble TO cast. The result will
probably be a very small vote. If there
lis no opposition, the platform doesn't
matter say the Republicans, and there
Will therefore be no use in bOthering
about what votes are cast. 1t will be
poor satisfaction for the Home Rule
lovers of politics to see their unoppOsed
candidate poll the votes no one else
wants.
There are some members Of the Re
publican committee, however, who are
very anxious to have a candidate. They
have strong objections to letting the
Home Rulers win by default, and may
yet swing the proposition the other
way. If a suitable candidate willing
to run, is found they can probably
carry their point, and will put up a
man yet.
The opposition to Beardslee in the
Home Rule ranks is said to be largely
because they only know him as a Re
publican, and because some of them
have got the idea that the Republicans
would like them to nominate him.
Beardslee is principally known to the
natives by reason of his having been a
member of the quartette which sang at
Republican meetings in the last cam
paign. The fact that T. McCants
Stewart has been announcing the Sc
lection in Kalihi tended to spread the
idea that Beardslee as a Home Rule
nominee would be acceptable to Re
publicans.
1t is a fact, however, that Beardslee
was favOrably looked on by some of
the Republicans as a Republican can
didate, until he endorsed the Home
Rule platform. When his name was
first mentioned he was thought of as
a possible candidate of both sides, but
he is now regarded as out of the party,
by reason of his acceptance of the plat
form of the other side, with at least
two features that the Republicans op-
pose.

THEY STOLE A Trunk
DIR. WALL ROBBED OF MANY
VALUABLES.
Thieves Also Enter Several Saloons
About Town-Thought to Have Been
Work of Soldiers.

Quite a bold robbery occurred Sunday
night at the corner of Richards
and King street. DR.. A. c. Wall was
robbed of q trunk containing some mo-
ney and personal effects. Although
there is no clue to the perpetrators, the
police are inclined to the opinion that
it was committed by soldiers from the
transport Hancock
The trunk was kept i'm a cottage in
the yard. EneranCe was secured dur
ing Sunday night by opening one Of
the windows. DR.. Wall was absent a
the time, so the rObber was in no dam
ger of being disturbed. DR.. Wall is
still absent from the city so a complete
list of all the articles in the trunk can
not be secured. He was known to have
had about $50 in Hawaiian dimes and
number of medals for rifle shooting
besides articles of personal value. The
matter was reported to the police.
Three other burglaries We're commit
ted last night, all in saloons one of
them was at CamarinOs' place, on Ala
kea street, which has been entered by
/ thieves before. This time the burglar
went up stairs, where the former Greek
| consul lay in the arms of Morpheus
/ Cammy peacefully slumbered on while
/ the burlar burgled and mingled booze
with his burglng, for a bottle of gin
showed that the visitor had not over
/ looked 1t.
When Cammy woke this morning
/ there was a disturbance. He spent the
morning telling his friends how he
would have shot the bad man to pieces
| ir he had wakened in time, and he is
spending the afternoon the same way.
| 1t was only slightly touching this
/ time, for the burglar only got Sl.50. He
/ carefully unlocked every door in the
saloon and store, and when he left he
| took the keys with him. Cammys
| theory is that the burglar wants to
come again, and doesn't want to have
/ to break a wire screen and climb in.
Sullivan's place in Iwilei and the
! River saloon We're also entered during
| the night. Little was secured in either
place, as the custom is not to leave
| cash overnight.

PERKINS TO LOOK AFTER KOE-
BELE'S WORK.
Agricultural Commissioner Taylor
Wants Men Appointed at Hilo and
Kahului Which are Both Unguarded.

Professor r.. L. c.. Perkins has been
appointed by Agricultural Commission
er Wray Taylor to take charge of Pro-
tessOr kOebele's work during the abb
senCe of the latter on his trip to Mex
leo. The matter of watching importa-
tons of plants to guard against the in
PRODUCTION of some pest or other is the
principal reason for the appointment of
a substitute. Hawaii has been injured
in the past by such shipments, which
have brought undesirable bugs and
plant diseases here. A large proportion
of the pests now i'm the Island came here
from California.
Taylor also proposes to arrange for
more Watchfulness at HilO and Kahu-
lui, which are both ports of entry. At
the present time there is no official of
the bugOlOgy department at either place
and it is thought that there is consider
able danger of some harmful importa-
tion being made.
Many sailing vessels from the coast
bring passengers to Hilo and Kahului
direct, and these passengers, often
bringing plants, etc, with them, might
easily introduce some new disease or
some dangerous bug that would spread
about the Islands and cause incalcul-
able damage.
Professor Koebele leaves on the Sier-
ra and will visit Mexico, where he will
make a study of a lantana blight tnat
might be profitably introduced here.

MET BAD WEATHER
SHIP FINROss COULD NOT ENTER
KAHULUL
So Came to Honolulu to Make Entry
At Local Custom House-She Has
Coal for KahUlui.

The British ship Kinross, Captain
Murray, arrived unexpectedly this
morning and anchored off port. She
was due at Kihei from oyster HarbOr
with a cargo of coal for Alexander and
Baldwin so her appearance off this port
caused considerable surprise.
The vessel arrived off Kahului
March 10, 81 days from Oyster Har-
Dor. Captain Murray wanted to go in
to that port to enter his vessel at the
custom house but owing to the rough
weather which prevailed was unable to
do so. The tug Leslie Baldwin would
not attempt to take the ship into port
so, after making several attempts to
enter, Captain Murray decided to come
to Honolulu. Some of the back stays
of the vessel carried away and as it
was necessary to repair that damage,
he thought it wiser to visit Honolulu
The vessel may start for Kihei this
afternoon or tomorrow if the weather
permits.

KONA OUT OF
COURT AGAIN
OFFER TO PAY THE RECEIVERS
FEE AND EXPENSES MADE
IN COURT TODAY.
HUMPHREYS AGREES TO DIS
CHARGE THE RECEIVER.
S. NJ. Damon to visit the Plantation.
VIII BE Run Again without a
Receiver.

An offer was made today to pay the
Indebtedness Of the Kona Sugar Com
pany receiver and comply with the or
der of the court in the case Of McChes-
ney VS.. The Kona Sugar Company, pre-
paratory to the discharge of the recei-
yer and withdrawal of the suit This
afternoon S. NJ. Damon leaves by the
Mauna Lot for Kona to look over the
plantation. and it is understood that
arrangements are in progress whereby
the plantation will be run without a re-
ceiver.
The greater part of the indebtedness
under the receivership was due to
Hackfeld and Company, and satisfac-
tory security was given for this. Inc
sum of S2,355.44, which includes the re-
Ceiver's fee of 81 900 is the amount ten
dered in court. Stockholders of the Ko-
ma Company made the advance.
Judge Humphreys announced his
readiness to sign an order discharging
receiver Wundenberg and allowing
withdrawal of the suit, as soon as the
money was paid over and the attorneys
left to prepare the papers, arrange the
payments needed and close up the legal
side of the affair.
esAs a result of the proceedings KOna
will probably keep on as a plantation
and harvest its crop, and stockholders
are hopeful of much better returns than
they hoped for some days ago.
A bond of $1,000, to protect the receiv-
er in case more liabilities have been
contracted in his behalf at KOna, was
offered. Judge Humphreys required a
bond of S. 900. This is being arranged
this afternoon.

It WAS ACCIDENTAL
JAPANESE EXONERATED OF
KILLING FRIEND.
Mistook Companion for Wild Pig and
Accidentally Shot Him While Hunt
ing Near WaiaIua Sunday.

An investigation into the tragedy
near Waialua Sunday developed the
fact that the killing of the Japanese
named Hamanaka was purely acciden-
tai and a verdict completely exonorat-
ing Take the japanese who shot the
other man, was returned yesterday.
Chester Doyle went to Waialua to in
yestigate the case.
on Saturday night, Yamanaka, Take
and two other Japanese went into the
mountains beyond Waialua to hunt
wild pigs. The sport was not exciting
enough to satisfy one Of the men, so
he returned to Waialua, leaving Take,
Yamanaka and a third man to continue
the sport. Sunday, the men divided,
Take going on the higher land with the
gun while the other men went below
to beat up the game. Take had already
shot three pigs and it was thought
that he would bag some more If the
other men rounded them up. The
weapon was an old muzzle loading
shotgun.
Take saw the brush moving below
him and, in a few minutes, the dogs
rushed to the spot and began barking.
Take thought that the moving was
caused by a pig so he fired blindly at
the moving brush. He called out that
he had shot a pig but an investigation
diclosed the fact that he had shot his
friend in the side Of the neck. The
wounded man was too heavy to be car
ried back to Waialua so Take hurried
to town and notified Judge Mahaulu
of the affair. Officers were sent imme-
diately to the scene of the tragedy and
when they arrived, found the japanese
dead
An inquest was held yesterday, a YER
diet of accidental death, generating
Take being returned.

ASK ABOUT TUA-TUA
MANY INQUIRIES REuARDING
THE PLANT.
Consul Hackfeld Asks for a Report.
sloggett Sure the Alleged Cure is
Fake.

Many inquiries about the Tua Tua
plant as a cure for leprOsy continue to
come to the Board of Health, somewhat
to the disgust of President SlOggett,
who thinks there is nothing in the
stories of the plants medicinal quail
ties, as far as leprosy is concerned, and
that the story of a cure in Tahiti,
which started all the talk, was utterly
unreliable.
j. f. Hackfeld the German consul
has asked for a report on the alleged
cure, and DR.. Sloggett has been prepar-
ing one. The assistance Of Agricultural
Commissioner Wray Taylor was invok-
ed to get the botanical history straight.
Tua tua belongs to a botanical family
that has many varieties and IS named
for its meuICinal qualities.
This talk of Tua tua is all nonsense" "
said Dr. Sloggett, lin my opinion. l do
not believe for a moment that anything
will come from our experiments There
is no foundation for the story from Ia
hiti. The cure was not seen by any
one who was competent to say that the
disease was leprOsy or that If it was
it had been really cured.
1--WE have not enough of the plant to
make experiments with at present, but
soon shall have DR.. Oliver of the
Leper Settlement has been given some,
and is growing the plant at Kalaupapa.
AS soon as there is enough he Will eXpe-
riment and we shall get definite re-
ports.
From the eastern states a number Of
inquiries have come for information as
to the qualities of the supposed cure,
and there is no doubt that the results
of the tests in Hawaii will be watched
with interest. Physicians here general
ly take the same view as DR.. Sloggett,
having little or no faith in the plant as
a cure for leprosy.

Republican City Convention.

The republicans of Plymouth We'd
nesday evening had one of the most
enthusiastic and harmonious conven-
tions ever held in this city and win
ming ticket was nominated as follows:
For Mayor. DR.. David G. Knott:
Clerk, William S. McGlothlin; Treasu-
rer, Ezra X. Barnhill; Marshal. Chas.
P. Bushman; Councilmen, First Ward,
L. J. Southworth, Frederick Koontz:
Second Ward, John V. Ashley, Meade
Logan; Third Ward, John G. Kuhn
and Conrad W. Suit.
The ticket is certainly composed of
representative men well located and it
would seem that all of them should be
elected. To do this however will
require the united efforts of all the
republicans of the city, and every re-
publicans of the city, and every re-
publican should recollect that votes
count on the day of election, and a
failure to vote insureS the success of
the democratic ticket. If every re-
publican does his duty the ticket will
be elected.

1000 Coal Miners Quit

PITTsBURG, Pa, April TO-
Nearly 1000 coal miners have
quit work along the West Penn
sylvania railroad in obedience to
the order of the district meeting
held at Leechburg last night.
Not a miner went to work this
morning at 26 of the mines. OF
the $500 miners employed IN this
district 500 remained at work,
the companies employing them
having signed the scale. These
companies, the Pittsburg and
Buffalo, 1.-The Kerr and the Allie
cheney, have been paying the
rates asked since December,
when the demand was made.
The miners officials claim the
men in the West Pennsylvania
field have been paid much less
than the indianapolis scale calls
for, some of them receiving only
AZ cents instead of SO cents.
The operators refuse to meet the
men in conference.
