MORE land Opening
EXECUTIVE COUNCIL APPROVES
APPLICATIONS
Nahlku Water License Also Approved
Buchholtz Gets Some Land in Rona
District.

The Executive Council held a long
meeting this morning. e. S. Boyd,
land commissioner submitted drafts of
the proposed Nahiku water license, and
the draft was approved by the council.
Boyd also presented some more appli-
cations for land. One was from F.
BuchhOltz, who wants land OF Papa 1,
In Kona, under a right of purchase
lease. Buchholtz has been doing some
successful work in the farming line.
His application for land will be grant
ed.
Boyd also asked the approval of the
council for the opening of Kaahuhu
lots under the homestead lease act, and
Kaapahu lots under the right of pur-
chase lease. Both propositions were
approved and the land will be opened
as soon as the necessary surveys are
completed.
The Kona and Kau railway company
asked to have land at Napoopoo put
at auction at an upset price of $40 per
acre, the lands being desired for the
road. 1t was agreed that a part Of the
land should be offered at an upset price
of $50 per acre, the government to re-
tain all water frontage.
James H. Boyd read reports from
Assistant superintendent of Public
Works Campbell, on the condition of
roads in Hawaii and on the powder
magazine which was recently COM
plained of as being too near some
school houses. Campbells report was
similar to the one lately published from
the agent of the department on Hawaii
John Cockett of Koloa, KAUAI, was
recommended for light wine and beer
license, and an application for a IL
cense from ]. Wright, of tn old kOo-
lau saloon, Heeia, was approved.

MORE FLAG RAISING
CAPTAIN MERRY WILL HAVE THE
CEREMONY.
When The Deeds to Pearl Harbor
Lands viii Have Been Turned over
And Cases Are Settled.

Oahu is to have another Flag Rails
ing" The second occasion of unfurling
Old Glory to the southern breezes will
not be due to quite such an important
event as was the first raising, but it
will be important enough nevertheless
and be on account of the United States
taking possession of some more terri
tory.
The territory to be acquired Is the
Pearl Harbor land belonging to the
Bishop estate which has been condemn
ed for the United States to be used as
a site for the naval station. AS soon
as the Bishop Estate and the United
states representatives shall have set
tied up the recent suit and the deeds
are handed over to the government,
Captain Merry, as the local comman-
dant, Will take possession of the land by
officially raising the American flag
there. This ceremony will not be at
tended by such a distinguished gather
ing as marked the other flag raising, but
it Will nevertheless mark an epoch in
the history of the Hawaiian Islands.
The other suit against the Honolulu
Plantation Company to determine the
value of its leasehold on the property
may of course cause the flag raising
to be deferred temporarily but it is sim
ply a question of time before the Unit
ed States is in possession of the prop
terry IN question and the work Of con-
structing the naval station begun.
Quite an interesting point has arisen
now since the decision in the Honolulu
Plantation lease hold case, has been re-
eeiYed. The damages awarded amount
to $105,O0O. This is considerably larger
than the Navy Department had expect
ed to pay and, in consequence, Captain
Merry is without sufficient funds with
which to meet the judgment. After the
awards against the owners of the prop
erty shall have been settled there will
be about $4,000 Of the appropriation for
this work left. Just where the addi-
tional $4,000 is to be secured is not clear
at the present time even should both
parties in the case be satisfied with the
amount awarded. The result of the last
suit, which was announced today, will
probably cause considerable official cor
respondence between the Navy Depart
ment and Captain Merry, as the local
naval people regard the amount as toe
high and are naturally desirous of the
various awards to be paid out to be
within their appropriation.

FIRST NATIONAL BANK
A LIVELY CONTEST FOR THE
PRESIDENCY.
Cecil Brown It is Said Will be Opposed
by the California Interests for Re
election.

1t is said the annual meeting of the
stockholders Of the First National
Bank tomorrow, promises Pm interest
ing contest.
The first public intimation Of 1t came
in an interview with Col. George w.
Macfarlane published last Saturday in
which he said that if 1.-The meeting
passes off harmOniOusly, 1 shall then
be able to bring forward something for
the financial relief of the town, My
stay depends on what developments
may arise at the meeting"
Cecil Brown said today that he had
learned that an effort would be made
to displaCe him as president. One
version of the contest is that the An
glo-California Bank of San Francisco
and the interests allied with it in the
First National Bank want to displace
Brown with some one else as a means
of controlling the policy of the bank,
Browns friends are rallying to his sup
port on the theory that the best inter-
ests of the bank dictate that it should
be managed by local men familiar win
local conditions. They point to the sue
cess of the bank as the best argument
in favor of Browns reelection. Who
the opposing candidate will be is not
known. James F. Morgan's name has
been mentioned in this connection. 1t
is said that when he was in San Fran
cisco lately it was arranged that he
should be the candidate in opposition
to Brown,

BIC ROW REPORTED
JAPANESE AND PORTO RICANs
FIGHT AT OAHU.
Japs We're Jealous Of Other Laborers.
Trouble Occurred Yesterday Morning.
Manager Says Trouble Was Trivial.

People who visited the Eva district
yesterday morning give accounts OF
what they regarded as a lively fight
between soEne Japanese and Porto Ri
can laborers on the Oahu Sugar Com
pany plantation, Sunday morning
The reports differed somewhat in the
details Of the row, some having 1t that
four or five men were laid out while
others say that they saw two men who
had been roughly handled during the
melee.
The row, whatever it's extent, started
on the WaipiO peninsula. Jealousy on
the part of the Japanese toward some
Porto Ricans was the cause. In any
event, from the two or three who first
particulated in the fight the feeling Of
resentment extended to other Japanese
and soon half a dozen or more We're
engaged in the fight
The scene of the real conflict appears
| to have been changed from the penin-
sula to the Waikiki side of the mill.
Clubs were welded by both sides. The
! noise of the fight was heard by other
labOrers who fOcked to the scene Of the
row, either as spectators or to become
participants.
One of the japanese was cut about
the ears and a Porto Ricans received
an ugly cut over the eye. When some
of the Honolulu people reached the
scene there was no more fighting then
| in progress, several of the cOmbatants
having been removed by the friends.
The Porto Rican who had the cut above
the eye made an attempt to smash a
| Japanese with club but was prevent
ed by some bystanders from doing any
harm.
The manager of the plantation stat
ed that the row was a trivial affair
and as the police had received no re-
port of the fight, his statement had

WANTS ORIGINAL list
BENJAMIN sEwALL UP AGAINST
A TECHNICALLY.
Captain Unable to Produce Vessera
Original Grew List When She Left
Baltimore -Four Years Ago.

The ship Benjamin Sewall has been
fully repaired and can go to sea at
anytime now so far as being free from
leaks is concerned. She can not go to
sea h 'wever for day OF two at any
rate, for she is at present tangled in the
meshes Of some of the United States
navigation regulations.
Captain Halsted Of the vessel was
asked by the Collector, to. produce the
original crew list Of the vessel. This
Captain Halsted was unable to do for
the excellent reason that he did not
have It. Although the Sewall is an
American vessel, this is the first Ameri-
can port she has visited in the last four
years She left Baltimore Nd, four
years ago and ever. since. has been en-
gagged in trade between foreign ports.
The United States laws require that
the original crew list Of the vessel shalt
be filed with the ships papers when the
vessel enters an American port, When
asked for the list of the original crew
which shipped in her from Baltimore
Captain Halsted was unable to produce
Since leaving Baltimore, the vessel
has had a dozen Of fifteen crews and it
is doubtful If any of the original crew
are in her now. She has also changed
masters, Captain Halsted having been
master of her for only about a year. In
consequence of these changes, the orr
ginal crew list has, in some way, got
lOSl. III any event, captain ftaIBUeu
did not find it aboard the vessel when
he took command
The result is that the collector is in
a quandary regarding the advisability
of permitting the ship to clear and re-
sumo her voyage. United States AttOr-
ney Dunno has been asked about the
matter and will probably give an OPT
nion this week. 1t is expected that
the beoat will get away about Tuesday,
if an adverse ruling is not made by Mr..
Dunno.

The vacancy in the Republican Ter

err The Central Committee a week or
so ago received a letter from McStocker
recommending J. c. Ridgway, and stat
ing his understanding that e. w. Estep
cDncurred with him, and that Estep
would write. A letter was also received
from w. G. Walker recommending AL
bert HOrner, and stating that Estep
would write on the subject. But Es-

BY tomOrrow's mail letter from the
Central Committee will go to these
committeemen,u urging them in the in
terests of harmony and the party good.
to get together and thresh out their DIFF

1t Is suggested that a poll of the dis

an aid in arriving at a conclusion. In
any event they are urged to get together
at once and unite on some one man.
The Hawaii Herald says of the mat
ter:
j. c., Ridgway has been recommend
ed as the successor to James Gibb as
q member of the Republican Territorial
Committee, but as Mr.. Ridgway is a
federal Office holder it may be possible
that he cannot accept. 1t will be re-
m'mbered that an order was recently
issued in Washington requesting office
holders to refrain from taking part in
politics. If this ruling can be construed
so as not to include deputy collectors
of customs the party will be benefited
