SUIT FOR DAMAGES.
ISLAND COMPANY A DE-
PENDANT.
Hans Lorenzen Wants $4,000 for In
juries Received on Board the Barken-
tine Irmgard Last January.

Suit has been begun in the United
States District Court by Hans Lorenzen
against the Inter-Island Steam Naviga-
tion Company, for $4,000 damages on
account of injuries received by Loren
zen in an accident on board the barken-
tine Irmgard on January 30. The libel
liant is represented by ]. J. Dunno and
r. w. Breckons. He was severely in
jured bv some bags of sugar that were
being hoisted from the Noeau into the
ITmgard, and it is claimed that the aC-
Cident was due to Carelessness in hand
ling the machinery and gear used on the
er-Island steamer.
Lorenzen states that he had papers as
first mate of a sailing vessel and Sec
ond mate of a steam vessel and received
a salary of $50 per month, with which
he assisted in the support of a family in
San Francisco. In addition to the dam
ages of $40, 900, the court is asked to
award him the amount of salary he has
been prevented from earning since Jan
uary &c. when the accident occurred.
The libel sets forth that the N)eau
was placed along side the Irmgard
for the purpose of loading the sugar,
and that the work of hosting was all
done by employees of the libellee, on
board the steamer Noeau. Libellant
was on the rail of the Irmard and start
ed to walk forward on the port side of
the vessel. Suddenly he heard shouts
of warning and before he could escape
sling load of sugar struck him,
knocking him down. He was stunned
and severely bruised and his right leg
was broken in two places.
The accident it is alleged, was direct
| ly due to the carelessness of the EN-
ployes of the InterIsland Company in
| handling the sling of sugar, guy-lines
not being properly fastened, so that the
| load swung out of it's proper course.
! The libellant had to spend long time
! in the hospital and endured great suf-
| fering. HIS leg is not yet wholly heal
| ed, and the bones have set so that the
right leg is half an inch shorter than
the left. He has also sustained gre
Vious mental suffering by reason of the
! fear that he would lose his right leg
and be permanently incapacitated from
supporting his family. For all of these
! injuries damages of $4,000 are asked,
and $240 wages that would have been
! earned during the six months since the
accident are alo demanded.

ALOHA TO THE BISHOP .
GREAT MANY FRIENDS SEE HIM
DEPART.
Bishop and Mrs. Willis Held Reception
Aboard Ventura Last Night Before
Their Departure for Tonga.

Bishop Willis and wife were passeu-
gers on the outgoing Ventura last even
ing, as His LOrdship goes 10 Tonga to
open the Anglican Church in that dis
trict. They will go to Pago Pag9, from
where they will proceed to the new
fields.
The departure of Bishop and Mrs.
Willis was made the occasion for a de-,
monstratiOn by the friends CT the Blsh-
op and the members of the former An
glican Cathedral in this city.
For about a week previous to their
departure Mrs. Willis had been the
guest of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Smith o.
Fort street. During all of yesterday,
her friends and those of Bishop Willis
also, called at the Smith res dence to
bid farewell. During the day Captain
Berger and the band gave a compli-
mentary concert.
The steamer did not sail until few
minutes before II o'clock last night and
some time before that hour, Bishop
Willis and party were driven to the
Oceanic wharf and boarded the steamer
Bishop Willis and Mrs. Willis were at
tended by a large number of friends and
former members of the church. An in
formal reception was held in the saloon
of the steamer where both His Lord
ship and Mrs. Willis were decked with
many leis.
The parting was in more ways than
one, very pathetic although neither
Bishop Willis nor his friends made any
reference to it, other than the ordinary
expression of regret over the depart
ure. His Lordship stood the strain very
well, and while it was plainly evident
that his departure was a source of the
keenest regret to him, he did not give
way to his sorrow, though both he and
Mrs. Willis, as we'll as those who took
leave of them were much affected over
the parting, closing as it did a career
extending over thirty years.
Fully twenty-five people were at the
steamer to bid aloha to the departing
| churchman, and wish hIm success in
his new field of labor. Just before the
vessels lines were cast loose. His Lord
ship went down the gangway and said
farewell to those on the wharf. His
Lordship did not make any remarks
| to the crowd.
Among those who called at the
| steamer last night were Rev. and Mrs.
Kitcat, Rev. Mr.. Fitz, Rev. Yin Tet,
Deacon F. j. Testa, Mr.. and Mrs. Henry
Smith, British Consul Hoare Miss
| Hoare, Edmund Stiles, Y. See Young
! Mrs. Caroline Clark Misses Walker
Mrs. Hart and others. There would nc
doubt have been a much larger attend
ance to say farewell to His Lordship
had the vessel not sailed at such an in
convenient hour.
Advices from Tonga state that the
arrival of Bishop Willis is anxiously
awaited. The time seems to be ripe
now for the establishment of the An
! glican church. The followers of Ola
| the dead chiefess, have separated from
| the Free Church, and unless the Bishop
arrives soon and takes up the work
they threaten to return to their old
heather customs. They have already
| erecting a church.

WIN THEIR PROTEST
MASTERS AND PILOTS FORCE KAY
OUT.
Held no Pilots Papers, so Cannot
Legally Take Malolo in and out of
Harbor.

As the result of the protest filed with
the Collector against Captain Kay con-
tinuing to navigate the gasoline schOou-
er Malolo in and out of the harbor with
out a pilots license. Kay will leave the
vessel and a new man will be placed in
command. The name of the new mas
ter is f. T. Sanders and he will take
command of his new boat this after
noon. Tomorrow he makes his first
trip in. her to KOolau and on Monday
will take her on her regular Hanalei
and Kalihiwai route.
The retirement of Kay from the COM
mand of the MalolO, was made because
of an opinion given Collector Stackable
by the United States District Attorney
upholding the position taken by the
Masters and Pilots Association in pro-
testing against the Malolo being operat-
ed in and out of the harbor by a man
who did not have pilots papers. Kay
holds a license as master on anything
under 1000 tons. but his license was
secured in New York some years ago
and he has not secured pilots papers.
On the other hand, Saunders holds a
license as mate on vessels under SOC
tons but recently his license was sent
to the inspectors at San Francisco, who
returned 1t to him with special permis-
sion to go as master of the Malolo
A9aAitutlS ubCo ll'N llplb a pllOl = ilNtlloS
however, but, on the strength of an
opinion by the district attorney, Col
lector Stackable will grant Sanders
permission to act in such a capacity on
the MalOlO, until an answer shall have
been received from the San Francisco
inspectors, on Sanders application fol
pilots papers. .
According to the ruling, if the Col.
lector is satisfied that the applicant Is
competent to act as pilot and is alsC
likely to pass an examination as pilot
he can act in such capacity until the
permission shall have been received
from the inspectors at San Francisco
The license of Sanders is, therefore, tC
be forwarded a second time to the SaT
Francisco inspectors, and the situation
explained and the application made fol
the granting of pilots papers. In case
the application Is refused by the in
spectors. Captain Sanders will step Ou
of the Malolo but there will be no penal.
izing of the vessel.

WORRY OVER PELE
MAINLAND INQUIRIES AS TO
THE VOLCANO.
People Who Think Mount Pelee and st.
Souffrere's Eruptions Ought to Scare
Hawaiian Residents.

Aren't you afraid that some of those
volcanoes near Honolulu will get sea-
sick apd vomit all over yOu?" is the not
Over-elegant query in a letter received
here from the Mainland by the last
mail. 1t is a sample of a number of
others, from people who have the idea
that Honolulu is surrounded by vol
canoes that are likely to repeat the
disaster of st. Pierre any time. The
letter referred to is from w. w. Haskell
of the Travellers Insurance company,
and was written to William Lowry.
The Hawaiian Islands have adver-
tised their great tourist attraction Of
Kilauea until many people on the main
land think of a volcano every time Ha-
wai is mentioned, and the eruptiOns in
the West Indies have undoubtedly made
many people think that Honoluluans
ought to be alarmed. 1t is a question
whether, after the experiences of St
Martinique and st. Vincent, Kilauea
win be SO much of an attraction for
tourists If Madame Pele should sud-
denly become active now, the rush of
people to see her at close range might
not be so large as it has been in the
past.
on the mainland people having rela-
tives and friends in Hawaii undoubted-
ly awaited news from here after the
St. Pierre disaster with considerable
interest, anxious to know whether there
had been any unheavals here.
The island of oahu, however, is more
stable than the state of California. Sar
Francisco has several earthquakes a
year, and the state was given one some
what alarming shake-up during the st
Martinique eruption. Oahu, on the
other hand, knows no tremblors and
there are no records in history or ira
dition of eruption on this island though
there are long-dead craters that show
ago.

NO STRINGS ON IT
ROOSEVELTS ENDORSEMENT OF
DOLE.
Senator Carter Says Hawaiians Should
Washington and be United There.

The statement that President Roose-
Velt's endorsement of Governor Dole
was with any proviso for a change of
policy on the part of the Hawaiian exc
Cutive, is denied by Senator George r..
Carter who returned yesterday, and
says that the approval of Governor Dole
was absolutely unconditional. II was
present at all the interviews between
the President and the Governor" said
Senator Carter "and l never heard any
suggestion that Mr.. Roosevelt desired
change in the governors policy The
Chief Executive, after making an in
vestigation, simply decided to sustain
the Governor, and that was all there
was to it.
There is one thing that impressed
me as important to the interests of the
Territory, and that is that we keep our
disputes away from Washington. Dis
agreements should be settled here.
Whenever Hawaii takes a proposition
to Washington, the whole Territory
ought to be behind 1t. In that way we
can gain influence and get the conf
dence of Congress and the departments
which will be worth millions to the ISL
ands. At Washington, every citizen
of Hawaii ought to be for Hawaii, with
out disagreement of any kind. Party
lines down here ought not to produce
disagreements that extend to the ma
tional capital in Hawaiian affairs Let
the people disagree all they want here,
fight out their differences, and then,
when one side or the other wins and the
matter goes to Washington, If for in
stance, it is an appropriation needed,
every man from Hawaii, no matter
which side he was on here should join
in fighting for the islands common
good "

Al AND LEE KWONG
ANOTHER PHASE OF THE CHI
NBsE CONTROVERSY.
Commissioner Lee Holds a Meeting
Which Absolves Consul Yang From
Bow Wong Charges.

There is another hiatus and deadlock
in the controversy between the Bow
Wong or Reform Chinese and Consul
Yang Wei Ping Two months ago c. X.
Al, president of the United Chinese So
ciety filed a number of charges against
Consul Yang, with Minister Wu Ting
Fang at Washington. In response to
these charges and protests, Lee KwOng
Hing was sent here from Manila. Fol-
lowing his arrival President All receiv-
ed three communications from him in
which he demanded that All turn over
to him the books, papers and securities
of the society to be taken to the con-
sulate for examination. This President
A. refused to do, partly because Mr.,
Lee was demiciled at the consulate,
and partly because the affairs of the
society were in litigation in the courts
here, and he doubted his right to turn
them over to one whom he considered
practically a representative of the op-
posing party, and also doubted the
wisdom of doing so from the stand
point of those whom he represented.
President All also questioned Lees
credentials, his communications being
headed, Appointed by the Court at
Peking as Official Translator for the
Chinese Consulate at Honolulu and
Concerning the Chinese Residents of
Honolulu" but according to Mr. All
without further showing Of authority.
President All invited Lee to come to the
rooms of the United Chinese Society
and examine the books and securities
there; but Lee, styling himself a man
DARN, so it is said, declined the invita-
ton, but instead held a meeting last
Sunday at the hall of the Anglo-Chi-
nese Academy on Kukui street, for the
purpose as he announced of investigat-
ing the charges against Consul Yang.
To this meeting none of the Bow
Wong, who formulated the charges, ex-
cept Mr. All, were invited. Mr.. All did
! not under the circumstances accept the
invitation. At this meeting it is said
a resolution was adopted absolving the
consul from all the charges made
against him. The principal speakers
are reported to have been Yee Chin,
| Vim Quon, Wong Kwai Chu Gem, and
| Che Yet Kai, all of whom it is said are
| friends and partisans of the consul.
The Bow Wong Chinese, 1t is said,
have sent strong representations TO
! Secretary Hay against Consul Yang
Wei Pin, accompanied by aftidavits,
! and the belief is cherished that these
will result in an investigation which
will be followed by a request to the I'M
! perial Chinese Government for the re-
| call of Yang Wei Pin. The Reform ele-
ment is considering the abvisability OF
| holding a mass meeting to express
their views regarding the consul.

complaining witness was with her all

engaged in the trial, to two o'clock to-
morrow afternoon, when they are to

sary.

and took under advisement two insur-
ances cases that have long been on the
