AT TER THE VAGRANTS
SIX ALLEGED BUNS CAUGHT ON
WATER FRONT.
Have Been Living In a Lumber Pile
Near Garbage Scows - Live On
Scraps of Food

Captain Harry Flint of the harbor
police inaugurated a crusade last night
against the "beachcombers" along the
water front He discovered the hiding
place of the crowd of hobos and placed
six under arrest. The crowd We're be-
fore Judge Wilcox this morning and
pleaded not guilty. Their cases will
be heard this afternoon.
The water front has been rather free
of the loaters and buns which at one
time infested that section of the town
and with one exception, there have
been no burglaries or depredauons of
any character there in months. The
hobos have been accumulating how
ever until there were nearly a dozen.
All of them have become well known
to people about the water front and
Flint waited for an opportunity of
rounding the offenders up
For some time past he has been
watching their methods of living as 1t
has been a question of much interest
how men could exist without openly
begging or doing some manner of
work 1t appears that the crowd has
been living by means of handouts"
from the various vessels in port. One
of the crowd arrested last night was
searched and in his possession was
found half pie. a piece of old meat
and several other scraps of food. The
sailors from the various vessels lying
in port make a habit of wrapping some
scraps from their mess and taking
them ashore at nights to the buns who
are loafing about the wharves In
some instances the loafers stand at
the bows of the vessels and catch any
food that is thrown to them by the
sailors.
! The men have been making their
headquarters under an old lumber pile
at the Eva side of the old Fishmarket
wharf. Although the lumber pile Is
located close to the water front, close
to where the garbage scows are load
ed, and several outhouses are in the
immediate proximity OF the resort, the
buns have been making it their head
quarters. Captain Flint found a num-
Der of them asleep there last night. He
placed six under arrest. 1t is thought
that the authorities have very strong
cases against them, as some of the
defendants have refused work when it
has been offered to them.

WILL FIGHT
INCOME TAX
THOMAS FITCH TAKES THE
CASES ON A CONTINGENT
FEE.
MANY LOCAL FIRMS ACCEPT HIS
OFFER.
Attorney Confident of Breaking the
Tax and Securing rebate on Amounts
Paid Under Protest.

Local merchants are once more COM
bining to fight he income tax as impos-
ed by the last Legislature. This time
the matter is being handled not by the
Planters Association nor by any as
sociation of merchants who are foot
ing the bill for expense for the benefit
of the community but through the Off
ces of an attorney who is confident
that he can break the tax and feels
so certain over his success in this di-
rection that he takes up his clients
on the basis of no win no pay
Tom Fitch is the enterprising attor-
ney who will champion the cause OF
the protesting tax payers and carry the
matter into the Federal court and If
need be to the Supreme Court without
initial fees. He is confident of winning
Ills case and has agreed to accept in
each case a contingent fee of twenty
pc, cent of rebates obtained from sue
cessful litigation.
e. o. Hall and Sons and Peacock and
Company are among those who will
try and get back some of the good
money which they have paid into the
legislative Golfers under protest and
will again do this fall.
81 think the tax to be unreasonable
and unfair" said ]. G.. ROthwell this
morning, 'and l think the present pro-
posal of Mr.. Fitch's a good one. we
would all be willing to pay the tax If
it came in a legitimate way, of course
this came through the legislature al
right but it allows of discrimination.
The books of a mercantile firm are
much more available than those of 9TH
er concerns and the tax is not only
severe but unfairly distribd-ed
We were all sorry to see the proposed
effort of the Planters Association in
this matter drop through but no one
felt disposed to take up the burden of
the matter at their own expense unSll
this proposition was made by Mr.
Fitch which several of us have taken
hold of and probably many more Will

NUMEROUS HERRING CASES.

The session in Judge Wilcox's court
this afternoon was occupied with hear
ing the evidence in the first of the cas-
es against August Herring. who was
charged with assault with a weapon,
on a Chinese. In addition to this
charge there are a second of assault
and battery on Henry Espinda, and
another which charges Herring with
maliciously tearing down a fence on
the property of the Honolulu Planta-
tion. A charge of assault with a weap-
on against KeaumOku, HerriEg's wife.
is also to be heard, as is a charge OF
her aiding Herring in tearing down the
fence. In addition to these cases there
are two similar charges against Char
les Hassard, the native employee OF
Herring, while Henry Espinda of the
opposition forces is also to be charged
with assault. Judge Wilcox express
ed the opinion today that the piling OF
so many cases against one defendant
looked as If rich and powerful cor
poration was in the act of trying to
rub 1t into the man"

TO COMPETE
PRIZES OFFERED FOR ESSAY
ON FAIR.
All Undergraduates Eligible-Subject

Drill Shed Being Made Ready

Commissioner Wray Taylor has de-
cided to offer two of the Autographed
certificates specially designed as
awards for the Agricultural Fair, as
first and second prizes for the best
description of the agricultural exhibits
as written by any schoolboy or school-
girl, not graduate, but an attendant
at any school in the Territory. The
first prize will be a cOlored diploma
and the second a facsimile of the de-
sign in one color. The diplomas are
extremely handsome, typical of the oc-
casiOn and well worth preserving. The
childs name and the nature of the
award will be inscribed on the certi-
ficate.
The descriptions may be treated in
any way that the children wish as a
story of their own visit and what they
thought the best and most attractive
displays or as a more detailed account
of the fair. The descriptions must be
the work of unaided hands and brains
and be submitted in the child's own
handwriting. A committee of three
newspapermen will be appointed to
pass upon the essays which must
be all delivered at the office of the
Commissioner of Agriculture, Wray
Taylor, before noon on Saturday, Aug
ust 2.
The papers should be written on one
side of the paper only, neatly folded
and addressed to the Commissioner.
The office is in the basement of the
Capitol building. All school children
who have not graduated are eligible.
Age will be taken into consideration by
the judges who will be chosen from the
three principal dailies. Neatness and
correct spelling will also count.
Commissioner Taylor and his assist
ants are hard at work today getting
their trestles and stands in place so
that when the exhibits come in they
will only have to be taken to their ap-
pointed place. In the center a stand
has been built for the big display Of
calladiums from Moanalua. Around
this an aisle will run and the tables
will be broadly divided by broad CEN
ter aisles leading up to the calladiums
One of the company rooms will be Civ

A SANTA f DEAL

The San Francisco Examiner of July
says:
"By far the larger number of active
spirits in local financial circles believe
that this hammering of Oceanic stock
is done in the interest of the Santa Fe
Railway Company and that through
deal with John d. Spreckels and his
associates the railroad will take over
the steamship line for its Hawaiian,
Tahiti and Australian service. Boston
people who are heavily interested in
the Santa Fe are said to have been for
six months past waiting a favorable
opportunity to get control of the
steamship property.
"The Santa Fe Company has had
more than one deal in the past with
the Spreckels people. The railroad has
abandoned it's Oriental service at San
Diego and all of it's Pacific ocean
steamship business is to be concen-
trated at this port Second Vice Pres
ident Paul Morton alludes to such mat
ters. Morton's deal last January with
the Harburg-American Steamship
Company for an Oriental service from
this port in connection with the Santa
Fe fell through at the last moment.
Morton then had recourse to a tenn
porary arrangement with the Pacific
Mail, Occidental & Oriental and the
japanese line. He is still working with
them pending any other deal the rail-
road may see fit to make to strengthen
it's Pacific ocean service.
''The Santa Fe people ever since
their road reached San Francisco have
been figuring on owning a line Of
steamers TO Hawaii and Australia.
Signs sem to point to the fact that
Paul Morton thinks the time has ar
rived to secure such a service at bar
gain by getting hold Of the Oceanic
Company

CLYDE FITCH ILL.

A cable to the World from Paris
says Clyde Fitch writes from st.
Moritz, Switzerland, that the climate
there SENS to be doing him good but
the doctors, whose frank opinion he
demanded, have advised him to make
his will, because appendicitis is really
the worst Of his troubles, and a COM
plication of diseases renders him unfit
for an operation. Fitch says that de-
spite his physicians he retains some
hope and all his pluck.

Yours very truly,
u. d. AVERY,
UCaerata ~ -


The problem referred to is that Of
meeting the increasing competition of
Japanese mechanics of various kinds.
In Honolulu the Japs are shutting out
even the Chinese, and their competi-
ton in all kinds of skilled labor is
severely felt, The Builders Exchange
had some correspondence with pele-
gate Wilcox on the subject while the
latter was in Washington, but the
delegate did nothing. This was when
Japs were employed by the navy de-
paItment in erecting a building on the
water front.
The letter from Avery was referred
to the executive committee, which dis
cussed the subject in a meeting after
the meeting of the central committee.
A reply will probably be sent in a
day or two.
1t is understood that the Buildesr'
Exchange wants to secure some action
if possible to prevent further increase
of Asiatic competition. Recent immi-
grafton statistics show a surprising
proportion of the Japs VINO are coming
into the country to declare themselV es
skilled laborers of various kinds. Many
of them do not go to any plantation at
all but begin at once in HDho.Ilu

It is believed that the cambridge
Nelson" referred to in the California
press is the Oliver cambridge, M A.,
OXon., who for some time made Homo
lulu his headquarters, coming here from
Samoa and New Zealand with not the
most savory of regulations accom-
panying and heralding him. His wife,
clever pianist, whose program name
was Jessie Ackerman, was with him,
and was temporarily left on the Islands
while cambridge made a trip to the
coast. Later she is thought to have
accompanied him
cambridge gave a series of poorly
attended lectures in which he describ-
ed himself as a sort of Walter Savage
Landor and told of his adventures and
the wounds he received duFing his
travels from infuriate hordes in VRri-
GUS countries. His wile's piano play
ing was the only meritoriOus feature
of the lecture. He wrote and publish
ed poetiCal "gems' or 'pOpnYers," and
made various drawings in black and
white which he used as posters TO ad-
Vertise a performance at the Opera
House wher he presented a one-act
play of his own writing termed "H.lise"
TO a slim and unsymp1thetic audience,
who walled out when the performance
was half over.
Shortly afterwards he was requested
to leave the California rooming house
on account Of his behavior towards his
wife, and is known to have expressed
his intention of going to California.
This he Is believed to have done on a
sailing vessel. The description Of Nell
son as an elocutionist and pen and ink
artist, fits Bainbridge excellently in
combination with the shady aspect OF
his theatrical enterprise. He forgot to
pay the stage hands, sign writer and
fellow players at his performance here
and was cordially invited to pay the
rent of the theater before the doors
were opened.
Bainbridge tacitly admitted that he
had another name, and his wife upon
one occasion showing her marriage
certificate to the proprletress of the
California, carefully covered up the
name of oliver Bainbridge Nelson, and
replied evasively to the suggestion that
cambridge was not the real name Of
her husband.
Bainbridge is reported to have made
an elaborate collection of curios from
Maoris and Australian bushmen by
representing himself as a special agent
of Queen Victoria and eXchang-
ing worthless copper medals for val
liable curios which he afterwards sold.
He affected the cleric in his dress,
wearing a waistCoat of ecclesiastical
cut
He called himself a graduate from
Oxford, but never mentioned his col
lege and was sadly deficient in Latin
and other matters common to a var
| sity mans education. He was plausi-
BILE in his speech though samewhat
over EgOistic, and possessed a fund of
superficial reading and educational
/ smattering. He helped out his living
/ expenses with a small remittance from
/ the old country. He was tall and fair
/ ly broad, clean shaven, wearing his
hair long, wore eyeglasses, carried a
| stick and was fond of khaki knicker-
bockers. In Honolulu his efforts as a
financier were not more successful
than his attempts as an entertainer.
