EUSTIS EAGER
TO GET AWAY
AWAITS REPLY FROM GOVERNOR
DOLE AND REPORT FROM LIGHT
HOUSE COMMITTEE.

Commissioner Eustis took an early
drive this morning with r. w. Shingle
and b. G. Holt around Diamond Head
to the Wireless Telegraph Company's
station at Waialae, passing the light
house on the way. He was delighted
with the drive and deeply interested in
the system, which he considers the best
for inter-island communication.
1T is a wonderful invention, this
bridling of primeval forces to mans
volition." said Commissioner Eustis
this morning. From Franklin's first
experiment to this, what a gap and
what a short stretch of time to pass 1t
in. We sent a message, or rather one
was sent to Lanai while we were at the
station. l was deeply interested in
the system which was carefully eX-
planned to us and with the simple mys-
terry of Manager Cross coherers.
II was in hopes of hearing a message
tick over the receiver from Governor
Dole and / must confess 1 am getting
anxious about it, l do not want to
be detained longer than the Korea If
/ can help it. Time is getting very
short now, l trust the governor does
not intend reserving his answer until
he arrives which l understand will be
on January 10. 1 hope he will be able
to judge the proposition without a
personal inspection of the SITES
'I understand the lighthouse COM
mittee has a report for me although l

Diamond Head light house this morn
ing but were unable to investigate
it from lack of time.

the Korea which is as long as / should

ELECT OFFICERS
NEW YEARS DAY
UNITED SOCIETY ISSUES
THE USUAL CALL FOR ELEC-
TION AND ALL IS HARMONY.

A meeting of the Chinese United So
ciety, in hich a settlement of the con-
troversy between the Bow Wong and
consul's factions has just been made by
compromise, has been called for $50
p. m. on January l, for the purpose of
electing directors and officers. There
are five directors to be chosen, this be-
ing the number chosen each year, for
three-year terms, to make up a board
of fifteen directors. The directors
Choose the officers.
The old plan of election will be fol-
lowed, and it is not expected that there
will be any further inharmony. The
members of the two factions appear to
have come together in mutual work for
the society, and it is expected that the
election will pass off quietly and that
the new directors and officers will take
office with the consent of all parties.
The society headquarters, which have
been tied up by reason of the fact that
one faction seized them and held the
fort are now open again to the socie-
ty generally. With the erection of
new building and probable increase of
membership the society is likely to en-
ter upon a period of increased prosper
ity and usefulness. The plan of using
the money in bank for a building and
dividing the balance between the So
ciety and the Chinese hospital has met
with general approval

MURDER CASES
TO Be TRIED
In H[LO
Five Charged With MURDER
Three With Conspiracy,
Awaiting TriaI-PoIygamy,
Burglary, and Larceny,

Judge Little has an unusually import
ant criminaly calendar for the term uf
his court beginning next week, there
being five defendants charged with
murder in the first degree and threee
other Japs charged with conspiracy
who make the number of persons ac-
cused of murder eight altogether. In
addition there is a long list of cases of
assault assault with dangerous wea-
pOns and liquor selling. The island of
Hawaii has apparently been having a
reign of murder and violence. with
Japanese doing most of the bloOuy work
and Porto Ricans their share.
Among the murder cases is that of
Mrs. Eliza Andrews, who is charged
with the murder of her husband, the
late Captain Andrews. After a quar-
rel caused by jealousy she is alleged to
have deliberately poisoned him by put
ting strychnine in his coffee, one morn
ing at breakfast.
The Japs alleged to have been MEM
bers of a gang of thugs and blackmail-
ers are on the calendar charged with
murder and conspiracy Watanabe
Masagi and Funakoshi Tatsugoro are
charged with murder in the first degree
while three other Japanese associates,
Kane Funakoshi, SEQ ItChitaro and AS
hiima MStsutaro, are charged with
conspiracy in the first degree. This
gang is alleged to have confined and
tortured a countryman, demanding a
heavy ransom from him, and when they
failed to obtain it, he was murdered
in cold blood. The whole gang may
be charged with murder when the
Grand Jury investigs tes.
Benito Garmendiz is charged with one
of the most horrible murders in the
history of the islands. He is said to
have committed a criminal assault up
on a>little Porto Rican girl nine years
of age and she died shortly after from
cerebral hemorrhage caused by blows
on the head.
Two other Japanese charged with
murder in the first degree are Nakata
Tokutaro. and Kaso a woman. This is
a case of child murder, the female de-
fendant having been the mother of the
child said to have been slain. She is
an alleged prostitute, and her code
fendant is stated to have been her boss
andp rOcurer.
The trial fthis fearful list of mur-
der cases is not unlikely to add to the
population of murderers' row in Oahu
Jail, where iPanbara and several other
Japanese and others are already await
ing the gallows The list is an almost
unprecedented one for single term of
court, and puts the Fourth Circuit
Court far ahead of the First in that
respect
The case of r. l.. Scoville, former
bookkeeper of Papaikou plantation.
who is charged with embezzlement, is
also on the calendar for the coming
term. Scoville Is said to have appro-
priated the receipts of the plantation
store.
A case of polygamy, one of burglary
and a lot of liquor and larceny cases
make up the calendar of SO cases in
all. The term begins on Wednesday

YANG WEI PIN
IN HARD LUCK
HAWAIIAN CHINESE WRITES
BLED BY CORRUPT OFFICIALS.

According to reports coming back
from China, Yang Wei Pin, lately Chi
nese Consul for Hawaii, is playing in
hard luck. Almost from his arrival here
Yang antagonized the progressive ele-
ment of the Chinese, as represented by
the Bow Wong society and the young
element whose idols are Leung Chi
tso and Kwang Yu Wei. Before he left
charges of smuggling and other often
ses had been made against him which
were investigated both by the Chinese
Government and the United States
Treasury Department. There never
was any very definite announcement of
the results of these Investigations and
it seemed as though Yang had escaped
any censure. But a letter was receiv-
ed by a prominent Chinese merchant
by the America Maru from another
Chinese merchant now visiting in Chi
ma saying that the official class in
China were now playing with Yang
Wei Pin, and that he had so far been
obliged to pay out $4,000 among the
official class to prevent adverse reports
against him on the charges made, and
the results that would follow such ad-
verse reports.

DEFENSE FUND
FOR TANBARA
OF HIS OWN CLASS
ARE CONTRIBUTING LITERALLY
TO CARRY HIS CASE UP.

The Japanese areN making great eff
forts to raise a defense fund for Tan
bara, with which to carry his case to
the Supreme Court if the President
approves of the Governors reprieve
and gives the lawyers a chance to apply
for a writ of error from the Supreme
court of the United States.
A great deal of feeling in the matter
had been aroused among the yard
boy, cook and kitchen assistant class
of the Japanese. They feel in a blind
sort of way that they must show that
the Japanese have a strong national
feeling and that they will unite to sup
port the humblest in his rights. The
higher class of Japanese while natural
ly feeling pride of nationality and
solidarity of race, do not look on the
present case as one in which of neces-
sity it should be displayed. Hence they
are not so generally contributing.
The yard boys and cooks, though, are
liberal. The subscription list was
opened yesterday and over 500 was
secured in sums of 20 and so cents, and
it is said there will be no difficulty in
raising $500 or more for this purpose
The acting Japanese consul went to
visit Tanbara to learn from him whe-
ther or not he had confessed the killing
to Mrs. Jacobsen. Tanbara stoutly de-
MED that he had made such confession.
He said she had asked him why he
killed her husband and his reply was
that he had not killed her husband.
Tanbara insisted that his conversation
with Mrs. Jacobsen had been without
an interpreter but that he had been
able to understand her and she un-
derstand him to that extent in English

SLLVERTOWN TO

Until Good Weather and Smooth
Seas Are Assured as Time
viii be Saved by This
Method of Procedure,

The final connection Of the Pacific
Cable now awaits on Boreas. The Sill
Vertown is waiting outside the channel
and inside the bell buoy, at anchor,
Tut with fires and steam ready to start
for Makapuu Point as soon as the
weather moderates and fill in the gap
that now exists between the buoy at
Diamond Head and the one off Maka-
puu, thirty miles away.
Yesterday at 10 o'clock in the morn
ing the Silvertown steamed to sea with
the cable making eastward past Dia-
mond Head. S. S. Dickinson with
Tr~- IL were at Diamond Head Char
lies lookout with a powerful telescope
and saw the steamer rolling in the
heavy 81 s. Her masts would go clear
out of '.e field of the glasses first on
one side and then the other AS she
made ready to buoy the cable and the
big red float swung from her rigging
out over her side and level with the
bulwarks, the rolling sea would rise to
meet the buoy and reluctantly let go of
it again. 1t was apparent to the watch
ers on shore that no splicing could be
done, although a constant watch on
the recorder was kept in the Young
building until midnight
The Silvertown steamed into the
teeth of the gale out to Makapuu Point

buoys she had left there ninety hours
one as a marker, the latter a buoy fill
ed with gas illuminant capable of burn
in gfor the whole ninety hours.
This was missing, gone no one knew
where or how. But the cable was still
attached to the mammoth float, capa-
BILE of sustaining two tons weight and
the work of the voyage was not yet
marker buoy was set over as a guide
to possible graphing in case the cable
buoy should break away and the Sill
vertown returned to await better luck
another day.
Although in the quiet of Fort street
this morning there seemed no indica-
tiOns of wind, the gale was bowling
through the Molokai channel as a
glance at the scudding clouds overhead
would have told the weatherwise. In
calm weather the Silvertown could go
out and finish the two needed spices
in ten hours, but in the weather of yes
terday and today, a boat launched for
the purpose of making fast to the buoy
would have been crushed like an egg
shell within a moment of it's touching
the water. The SilvertoWn will await
it's opportunity.
The work will be done in the day
time as it is hard work to pick up the
buoys of a night. The company s
steamers were all fitted with powerful
searchlights for night work, but they
have been found useless with no solid
background to work against. If the
cable was picked up and brought
aboard before dusk the work could be
completed after dark, but unless the
Silvertown steams out of the harbor
before 2 o'clock of an afternoon, which
is not the case today, there is little
chance of cable connection that night.
Had there been fairer weather when
the Silvertown arrived off port the ca
BILE would have been laid by this time,

The steamer Noeau was weather bound
at Waipio Gulch. The steamer Kauai

channels on the way home a north

heavy seas. The Mauna Loa brought
large quantity of pigs and other stuff

The case was continued several
times in order to give Brooks an
opportunity of apprehending the
man. Finally the case was con-
tinued until December 81, tomor-
row. Last night, Brooks was
waited upon by two Chinese
who said that the missing man
was at Koolau and they would,
for a consideration surrender
him to the police officers. Be
fore Brooks had effected an
agreement with them, he was
notified that Kon had been
caught at Kahuku.

A THROUGH RATE
FOR CABLEGRAMS

The Wireless Telegraph Com
pany has fixed a rate for
through business, that is a rate
for messages reaching here by
Pacific Gable for points on the
other islands, or messages orig
mating on the other islands for
transmission over sea. This
rate is 25 cents a word, and is of
course additional to the cable
rate and the land telegraph
rate. For illustration, suppose
the cable address of the Federal
Steel Company were Federal
New York" and a firm in Hilo
whose cable address is "ManiX,"
desired to send a message which
would be in this form: Federal
New York accept offer Manix."
This would count for five words.
The Wireless Telegraph charge
would be % cents a word, Sl.25;
the cable charge, 80 cents a
word, $3.50; and the Postal Tele-
graph or Western Union charge
II cents a word, 60 cents; to-

TEA HOLDERS
IN QUANDARY

The owners of tea in bonded ware
houses are in some thing of a guam
Diary over what action to take regard
ing the withdrawal of their stuff When
the tariff was raised to the war raLe
a tax of 10 cents a pound was placed
on tea. April 49, in answer to a COM
munication on the subject from a Mil
waukee firm, the Treasury Department
decided that tea which should have
been in warehouses not more than
three years on January l, 1908, could
be Withdrawn free of duty, for con-
sumption. On December 8 the Treas
ury Department found itself in guam
dairy for a decision by one of the Unit
ed States circuit courts of New York,
declared this former action to have il
legal as it had been based on certain
laws that were not legal. The result
was that an order resembling the first
order had to be issued.
Advices from Washington some days
ago stated that bill which permitted
the removal of the tea free of duty had
been passed by Congress. Collector
Stackable has not as yet received any
official advices on this subject and will
until such advices reach him continue
to charge the 10 cents duty.
The passage of the bill by Congress
was in the nature of a relief measure
evidently. A number of tea holders
had figured on the first decision being
permanent and gone ahead and made
contracts to deliver tea at a lower fig
ure than would have been asked had
they thought the duty would have been
in force.
The measure will not affect local
dealers very much however as there is
but between only $1,000 and $500 worth
of tea in bond at Honolulu.

INVESTIGATING A FLAG.
ner from Austria Urging Loyalty
to FatherlaAd.

Washington, Sept. s.-With view
to learning the facts in the case Ad-
ing Secretary Adee has instructed
Mr.. Mccormick, United States am
bassador Mt Vienna, to ascertain
from whom came the flag which re-
Gently was presented to the United
Hungarian societies in New York,
and which !. reported to have been
the gift of the Austrian government.
It is said that while there is prece.
dent for the bestowal of such flag
set by Emperor William in sending a
German standard to the Chicago
singing societies several years ago,
the present case is reported to differ
in the fact that the Austrian flag
bore the inscription:
''Be Loyal to Your Fatherland, Oh
Magyars."
Mr.. Adee's action is not in the ma
ture of a complaint, but simply to
ascertain the facts, for it is be-
lieved to be probable that the flag
came from some political organiza-
ton or individuals rather than from
the Austrian government itself
