Mr., ARMSTRONG
AS AN AUTHOR
HE IS ALSO A BIT OF A POLITI-
CLAN AND MAYBE NEXT AT
TORNEY GENERAL.

w. N Armstrong returned on the
Korea from a quiet sojourn in a meek
of the woods" near Boulder Creek in
California where he has been burying
himself in literary pursuits. He has
been writing his promised book on Ha-
wall and also contributing to an Edu-
cational Society which aims at the
spread of education among the poor
whites" of the Southern States.
Il have been living apart from the
strenuous life," said Mr. Armstrong,
'and am not fit subject for an inter-
view. l purposely got into a quiet
nook, read up a lot of books which
had been accommodating on my hands
did some writing and fulfilled other
long made promises to myself. L was
interested of course in the California
election, the results of which you all
know. Everyone seems prophesying
fine times ahead for Hawaii and there
seems fair prospects of their hopes be-
ing gratified."
There is a current rumor that Mr..
Armstrong will be the strongest can
didate for the Attorney Generalship if
E. p. Dole steps out of the appoint
ment. He returned sooner than he had
anticipated owing to the death of his
brother-in-law p. L. Weaver, and will
live with his sister, Mrs. Weaver.

PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
MUDDLE BECOMES MORE Sc
RIoUs-wITNEssEs BEFORE THE
GRAND JURY TODAY.

Auditor Austin's fate is now said to
be in the hands of the Grand Jury. His
case was taken up this morning, it is
Stated, and the transactions which were
detailed in the governors letter giving
reasons for his suspension from office,
are under consideration. His alleged
passing of bad checks may lead to in
dictments for gross cheat.
The Grand jury this morning sent for
Deputy Auditor Meyers again, and took
lot more important testimony in the
investigation into Public Works mat
ters and the auditing department. Of
icials of the Bank of Hawaii, on which
bank Austin's bad checks are alleged
to have been drawn, were examined.
Attorney General E. P. Dole was also
called as a witness.
Manager Gartley of the Hawaiian
Electric Company was one of the first
witnesses of the morning. His testi-
mony is supposed to have had to do
with the electric company's check,
which was cashed by B. H. Wright
Since the report of b. II. Wri~ht's
appearance in the role of witness for
the government, it is the general inn
preston that he will go free. Wright
declares that he has stood imprison-
ment and kept quiet awaiting the re-
turn of Boyd and expecting to be help
ed out of his pilikia. He got no help,
and decided to come out with a state
ment. His story to the Grand jury,
it is said shifts the responsibility to
James II. Boyd, for the $4,000 which
Wright is alleged to have embezzled as
well as for other shortages.
1t is stated that the entire shortage
in the office of the Department of Pub
lie Works will exceed $1S,O0O
Other witnesses examined wera Ma
.nuel Cook. bookkeeper in the public
works office, and some of the clerks.
They brought with them to the Grand
jury room, books and records showing
the matters upon which they were to
testify. The jury will have a general
report to make, it is stated in addition
to its report of indictments, which may
contain recommendations regarding the
management of the department

TEMPERED
FOR PORTO RICAN
THIEF
JURY BRINGS IN A LESSER VER-
DICT AND PRISONER PLEADED
FOR HIS WIFE AND CHILD.
GIVEN LIGHT SENTENCE.

Juan Velles, Porto Rican, stood be-
fore Judge De Bolt this morning with
tears in his eyes and pleaded for mercy
in behalf of his destitute wife and child.
He had been found guilty of larceny,
though really guilty of burglary in the
first degree, as the Judge stated, and
his attorney asked that sentence be
suspended. Velles Joined in the plea
telling the court that his wife and baby
were absolutely without means of sup
port. The answer was that he should
have thought of them before" and
Velles got six months hard labor.
Velles was charged with burglary in
the first degree, having entered Japa-
nese store on Pacific Heights and stolen
a quantity of cigars, canned goods, etc.
The robbery was at midnight, but the
evidence failed to prove to a certainty
that the store was closed and that Vel
les broke into it, and on this ground
the jury refused to call the offense
burglary and brought in a verdict for
larceny.
There is too much burglary busi-
ness" said Deputy Attorney General
Douthitt, in answer to Attorney J. o.
Lightfoot's plea for clemency. 1T is
time for the courts to put a stop to
these Porto Rican larcenies and bur-
glaries by imposing sentences that will
be punishment and a lesson"
Judge De Bolt said that the duty of
imposing sentence under the circum-
stances was a most painful one. There
is no doubt in the minds of the jury,
or any one connected with the case"
said the judge that the defendant was
really guilty of burglary in the first de-
gree, but was saved by a technicality.
The door through which he entered may

Were it not for the fact that the de-
fendant has a destitute wife and child
the court would impose the highest
possible sentence for larceny, under
the showing of a really greater Of
fense."
Velles was given six months and or
dered to pay the costs of court in the
case. He Is a Porto Rican about 25
years of age.

HAWAIIAN CASES
IN APPEAL COURT
RETURN OF a. G. M. ROBERTSON
AFTER ARGUING CASES IN THE
NINTH CIRCUIT COURT.

A. G.. NJ. Robertson returned from
San Francisco last night on the Korea,
after spending a short time on the
coast. He went to San Francisco to
argue the income tax appeal in behalf
of the Territory of Hawaii an appeal
having been taken from the ruling OF
Judge Estee. Estee threw out of court
the case brought by Thomas Fitch and
j. j. Dunno in behalf of about fifty To-
cal taxpayers who tried to prev
collection of the income tax Oh the
ground that the law is uhconstitution-
al.
The case was argued in the, Ninth
Circuit Court of Appeals on the 9Th
of this month, by Robertson and
Dunno, and was submitted on briefs.
A decision is not expected for some
time.
The other cases of Importance to Ha-
waii, appeals from Judge Estee, have
also been submitted to the Ninth Cir
cult Court of Appeals. The appeal of
the government against the verdict
awarding the Honolulu Plantation
Company 100000 for its Pearl Harbor
lands, was argued by j. j. Dunno and
r. d. Silliman. The case has been
tried twice. The appellate court may
/ fix an amount to which the corporation
is entitled, so that a third trial will
prODaDly be unnecessary.
Silliman and Dunno also argued the
case of M9cfarlane ct al VS.. Treasur-
er William Fl. Wright, involving the liz
cense law under which Primo licenses
were issued. Estee held that the law
was unconstitutional and issued an in
junction restraining the issuance of
any more licenses, thereby causing the
closing of all the Primo saloons.
Neither Dunno nor Silliman returned
on the Korea. Dunno has gone to
Southern California on business, and
Silliman has gone East

FREE, BUT A SAILOR
BEFORE THE MAST
THE MAN WHO NAVIGATED BY
UNCONSCIOUS CEREBRATION Is
SHINING RIGGING NOW.

George Sydney Plomb is speeding
away before the wind on the ship WI
liam II. Smith, sailor before the
mast and is free from the charge of
larceny which yesterday stared him in
the face.
Plomb was charged by Frank Fisher
with stealing or attempting to steal
the yacht Eagle. But the police were
disposed to believe PlOmb's story of
tunity offering to ship on the Smith,
and Plomb beng willing to take it and
leave the islands, the police let him go.
The ship sailed yesterday afternoon.
The police do not believe Plomb had
any intention of stealing the yacht.
From all the evidence secured Harbor
Police Harry Flint believes that the
yacht was taken by convivial party,
possibly some of Fishers friends who
had been out on 1t previously; that
they induced Plomb who was under
the influence of liquor to go along with
them TO navigate the yacht, knowing
that he was a capable seaman and
navigator; and that the convivial par
ty probably deserted the yacht and
Plomb soon after they got out of the
harbor, returning in a skiff.
Flint says that on the night the
yacht disappeared, he himself was ov-
er near the 11ackteld WharI ABOUT NAN
past 10 o'clock and saw some men at
the yacht working with 1t. He thought
nothing of it at the time. A little later
the yacht under her jib with a skiff
trailing aft, was seen going out of the
harbor by a customs officer and 9TH
ers. The next day the skiff was found
adrift near the Channel wharf, and the
yacht is reported to have been seen OFF
Waikiki during that early morning.
Flint's theory Is that the party, who
ever it consisted of, put out in the
yacht, FOR a carouse outside the har-
bor AS the yacht was not well bal
lasted and was only under her jib. the
members of the party got scared as
soon as they struck the breakers our
side and put back in the skiff, leaving
PlOmb, probably sodden with drink in
the yacht. figuring that he would not
drift far before he would return to
| consciousness, when he could sail back,
and afraid or unable to put him in the
| skiff.
| AS to Plombs story of finding him
self adrift at sea and beating back TO
windward, both Flint and High Sher-
| lff Brown thinks 1t highly probable.

HEAVY TAX RETURNS SIX HOURS WERE LOST

Six hours of the time consumed by
the Korea on her trip from San Fran
cisco to Honolulu was lost in bucking
head seas and a strong current The
first day out the weather was so fierce
that the big liner bucking the strength
of the gale could only reel off three
hundred and twenty miles with all
the power of her mighty engines. AS
the gale gradually abated the log re-
cord heightened. The second day saw
trifle over four hundred and thirty
miles recorded, the next a little more
until four and thirty was reached. At
the average rate of speed maintained on
a voyage the hundred miles lost on the
first day would have represented six
hours, the saving of which would have
brought the Korea to port nine instead
of three hours ahead of the record.
