SAN FRANCISCO, August 5.-The
failure of the clearinghouse of Edou-
ard Roclxhs of Berlin, which closed its
doris on Friday, and in which Peter
Spreckels was heavily Interested, has
occasioned no little surprise among
Mr.. Spreckels friends and former
business associates in this city. Peter
Spreckels has always been ra.ed q
multi-millionaire and there is much
speculation and wonder as to the
cause Of his financial embarrassn.ent
He is a brother of Clals Spreckels Of
this city, and ii is stated that before
the failure he cabled for money to
various members of his family.
Why these appeals were disregarded,
as they must have been since the fail
ure occurred, is not known. Peter
Spreckels has always maintained COR
dial relations with his brother Claus.
A son, Alfred, resides IN Alameda and
is employed by his uncle in the Inde-
pendent Electric Light AMI Power
Company,
None of the Spreckels family could
be seen today to throw any light on
the causes of the failucr or the refusal
to lend financial aid.
A year ago Peter Spreckels visited
this city with his wife and daughter,

THE IROoUOIs RETURNS

The L. 5. s. Iroquois Captain Rod
man, returned yesterday afternoon
from her cruise about the various 9TH
er Hawaiian Islands. Captain Rodman
visited,practically every section of the
various islands to the southwark with
the exception of the northern coast of
Maui. He is of the opinion that there
are comparatively few dangers to nav
lgation about these islands, when mas
ters are familiar with local landmarks
and conditions lie is securing mate
rial to write sailing directions and will
be able to issue the report in the course
of a couple of months. From here the
vessel will sail Monday morning and
take in the northern shore of Oahu.
From there she will go to Kauai and
on Wednesday be at Niihau, returning
probably Thursday.

DELEGAT TES
TWO WILIKOKIS MAY ENTER
THE FIELD.
Judge Wilcox's Name Again Brought
Forward AS a Strong Man In the
Race For Delegate.

The name of Luther w. Wilcox,
police court judge, is again being
brought forward as a candidate for
delegate. The introducers claim that
Judge Wilcox is the only white man
who could successfully take the stump
against r. w. Wilcox and talk with
the native element colloquially.
The present delegate Is known to
eschew politics and statistics in his
speeches to the native element in favor
of humorous stories and remarks
anent the opposing faction. This line
of argument can, it is said, be readily
taken up by Judge Wilcox whose long
and close acquaintance with the ma
tives has placed him thoroughly en-
rapport with their idioms and char
acter.
Personally, it is claimed Judge Will
cox could pull a large vote without
mounting the stump. 1t is understood
that the judge has not yet been ap-
preached on the subject with any Sc
riOus intent. The two names on the
ticket, should the judge accept and
gain the nomination, would be apt to
confuse the average voter Both
would be Wilikokis, and following the
regular alphabetical order the name of
the judge would come first on the bal
lot, thus: L. w. Wilcox and then r.
w. Wilcox.

ENRICH GOVERNMENT
PASSENGERS PAY FINES OF 5000
EACH.
They Were the Attendants of A. w
Jumping Off the Boat.

Through the suicide of \. w Nit
chell who jumped overheard from the
Coptic last Tuesday, the United States
Government is $400 ahead. The reason
for this enrichment of the government
was that the physician and nurse who
had attended the sick man decided to
discontinue their voyage and return at
once to the United States. In order to
do this, however, they had to violate
the shipping laws of America. The
Coptic flies the British flag, so She is
not permitted to carry passengers be-
tween American ports. A fine of 5000
for each offence is inflicted by the gov
ernment.
As soon as DR.. c. E. Miller, the ply
sician, and Arthur Beardslee, the
nurse decided that it would be no fur
ther use for them to continue the voy-
age to Hongkong, they were informed
that they could stop over at Honolulu
by paying a fine of 5000 each. The fines
were both paid and the men stopped
over here. They will take the SOnoma
back to San Francisco August 10. The
deceased was 81 years of age and a ma
tive of Wisconsin.
The Coptic sailed promptly at IL a.
m. today for the Orient. Her depart
ure was witnessed by a good sized
crowd.

years ago and they became engaged.

After a trip to the Yosemite the new
ly married pair will sail for Honolulu,
where they will make their future

was when she met Mr. Gartenberg sew
eral months ago. Her future home will

SCHEDULE ALL OFF
PEKING WILL BE WEEKS LATE
LEAVING KOBE.
Possible Korea May Be Late in Arriv-
ing Here From Coast as Chinese.
Crew win Be Late.

The Korea, the new liner of the Pa
cittc Mail Steamship Company, will
probably be late in arriving at this
port from San Francisco. She is sched-
uled to reach here September ON the
city Of Peking's run, but unless some-
thing very unexpected happens, she
Will not get here until a couple of
days after that time. The cause for
! this delay is not due to any tault OF
the new vessel, but because Of the
| breakdown to the City of Peking and
the anticipated delay of the s. S. Gae-
lie in reaching San Francisco.
The Korea was scheduled to sail to
the Orient on the Pekngs run leaving
san Francisco August 26. The Chinese
| crew for the Korea was to be sent to
san Francisco on the Peking, it being
calculated that the Peking would
reach that port in time for the Korea
to transfer the crew. After the Pc
kings shaft broke and she had to be
toWed into Kobe for repairs it was de-
cided to send the crew over on the
Gaelic. The vessel was given orders
TO make as fast time as possible. She
is not due in San Francisco until Aug
ust q, but it was figured that she
could probably make port by the af-
ternoon of August 25, or the morning
Of August rs, which would have been

Unfortunately according to Dispatch
es received in San Francisco before the
Coptic left that port, the Gaelic which
was to leave Yokohama August 8.
which would be a day late in leaving
that port. 1t is thought that the Gae-
lie will be unable to make up any time
between Yokohama and San Francis
co, so If this opinion is correct. it will
put into San Francisco two days be-
hind the scheduled sailing time of the
Korea. 1t is possible, however, that
the Gaelic may meet with good wealth
er and make up at least one day of the
time.
1t will probably be a month or more
before the iCty of Picking will be able
to resume her run. According to ad-
vices received by the Coptic yesterday,
the Peking did not have an extra Shaft
with her as her agents at San Fran
cisco had first hoped and in conse-
! quence, new shaft will have to be
sent out to Kobe for her. This will
mean that she will be detained in the
Japanese port weeks before she can re-
sumo her last trip to the Coast.

Revenue Licenses in Hawaii

Collector Chamberlain received by 1.-THE
mail copies of the preliminary report or
the commissioner of internal revenue,
showing collections for the year ending
June 80, 1902. Hawaii has the smallest
sum in the list. The office here turned
in $40, ,235.22. In the state of Illinois one
district turned in $40,000,00O, and the to-
tai for the state was $54,029, 1885. New
Mexico, the nearest to Hawaii in figures
had collections amounting to $I6,13O.lS.
The total of all the state and Ierrl-
tories was $271, ,S67, ,99025.
The collections are dependent to d
considerable extent on the number of
retail liquor licenses in the various dis
tricts. New Mexico has a considerably
larger number in proportion to her po-
pulation than Hawaii hence the larger
collections in that Territory.
Collector Chamberlain Is computed
some interesting figures showing the
proportion of liquor sellers to the po-
pulation in the various States and Ter
ritories, as based upon the census or
1900 and the last reports of collectors.
Hawaii has about the average. Nevada
shows up at the head. with a retal IL
uuor license to every rs of the popula-
tfon. The prohibition states show up
with a good proportion, leading the
southern states by large per cent. The
figures in the following table show the
number of inhabitants to every inter-
nal revenue retail license throughout

SALE OF lanai
PROPERTY TODAY

Twelve o'clock noon today was the
hour set for the sale of the Island of
Lanai ranch under the auctioneer's
hammer Col Will r. Fisher, the auc-
tioneer, had a stand placed at the en-
trance to the Judiciary building, and
when the hour for the sale arrived
there was a crowd of interested people
on hand.
The sale was one of the largest ever
held here, and a large number of per-
pie were interested. The various
foreclosure suits and other proceedings
leading up to the final decree by Judge
Gear ordering the sale for today, have
been in the courts for years and the
litigation has been very expensive.
The foreclosure was on a note assigned
to Gustave Kuhnst, for 100000. The
Lanai property was two-thirds of the
large estate of the late Walter Murray
Gibson.
After reading the terms of the sale
as required by law, the bidding was
started by the auctioneer. Cecil Brown
started the going at $4,000 followed
quickly by Charles Gay with 500, 900.
S. NJ. Damon raised it to $1,000 a fig
ure which was generally understood to
| cover Bishop q Company in the trans
| action. Mr.. Gay bid with raise of
$1,000, this last sum being the limit of
| the crowd. The total interest of the
| sale, representing practically two
thirds of the island was finally knock
ed down to Charles Gay for $10S 900.
| G. W. Hayselden was there to watch
| the Hayselden interests and many
prominent business and real estate
men were interested spectators.
| George Davis interrupted the sale with
the gratuitOus information to Auction
| eer Fisher that the sale would have to
be confirmed by law.

WARM WEATHER
HURTS OYSTER TRADE

Though the oyster season. by this
time, should be we'll advanced, that is,
so far as the demand is concerned, the
continued warm weather has caused
the consumption to be less than usual.
This question of weather and oysters
is merely a matter of transformation
or prejudice on the part of the public,
said a fish dealer yesterday. for as a
matter of fact the oyster is quite as
good one season of the year as at an
other, if only it be taken from water
eighteen to twenty feet deep.
"Of course" he continued, oysters
gathered in shallow water will be
found unwholesome in the summer
months, but really they are equally
undesirable in the winter. This preju-
dice against eating oysters during
warm weather is pretty general in this
part Of the country, but is little known
in the Northern states"
The supply of oysters this season is
below the normal, too, for the reason
that the beds have been pretty we'll
cleaned out, and though new ones are

EDWARD REAGAN'S MOTHER.
sends Expressions of Gratitude for
Leniency shown Her SON.

A telegram was received yesterday
by Mr.. Walter F. Higgins from the
mother of Edward Reagan. In Philadel-
phia, in which the mother expressed
her gratitude and thanks for the leni-
ency shown her son, who was arrested
few days ago in Philadelphia on a
charge of having stolen a bicycle from
MIR. Higgins, and who was released at
the request of the prosecutor.
The story of the crime is interesting,
though ii has a strong element of
pathos in it. Reagan, who is a native
of Philadelphia, had lived in Savan-
nah for some time. About ten days
ago he decided to return home, and
told his mother of his Homecoming.
A short time before his steamer was
to sail he rented a bicycle from Mr..
Higgins. In an evil moment the pos
sibility of making way with the prop
erty seized him, and he yielded to the
temptation. He has made no attempt
to cover his tracks, leaving his name
and address at the bicycle store and
telling his landlady that he was going
to Philadelphia.
AS the young man stepped from the
steamer at the docks in Philadelphia
he was met by his mother, whom he
had not seen for several years. Scarce
~ ndu luey met WnGn ne was placed
under arrest by an officer in waiting
who had received instructions from the
officials in Savannah.
The officers here thought that the
young man was a novice at his game
on account of the crude way in which
he worked it. Requisition papers were
applied for, and armed with these

LUCKY BICYCLE THIEF.
Light Sentence Given Young White
Man Who Stole Two Wheels.

Light Sentence Given Young White
Man Who Stole Two Wheels.
]. T. Bowers, a young white man
prominently connected in Camden, S.
c.. who bears a very unsavory repu-
tation with the police, played in rare
good fortune yesterday morning in the
City Court, when he was given a six
months sentence, or an alternative of
the payment of $50 on two charges of
larceny.
The warrant under which he was
convicted charged larceny after trust,
under which the minimum sentence in
the Superior Court would have been a
year, in the absence of a recommenda-
ton by the trial jury. There were two
charges against Bowers, both for the
theft of bicycles, but only one Of them
was prosecuted, the other being mol
pressed, with the understanding that
as soon as the young man pays his fine
he will leave Savannah.
Bowers father is expected in the
city to-day to pay the fine. The way
in which the theft of the wheel was
detected was unusual. Bowers had
been arrested by Detective Nose Davis
for the theft of a bicycle from one
Penfield. When searched at the bar
racks pawn ticket for still another
machine was found in his pocket. This
latter wheel had been hired by Bow
ers from Mr.. Walter Higgins a few
days before. a t
Bowers is nervy individual. On
the day following the hiring of the
wheel from Mr.. Higgins he returned
to Mr.. Higgins store Mr.. Higgins was
sure at the time that the man was
the thief of the day before, but so
dumbfounded was he at his nerve that
before he had time to collect himself
the man was gone.
Bowers real name is William Free.
though he has not less than a dozen
aliases. Another condition attached to
the light sentence is that the prisoner
make good the 81 which the pawn
broker lost by the transaction The
loan agent will not then be even on
the DEAL for he expended $3.50 for re-
pairs on the bicycle. CoincidentaIlv
enough, this repair work was done bv

the bicycle at the time, but repaired
1t and sent it back to the pawn shon
from which it was afterwards recov,
