The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1902-09-18

A rumor that has been believed in as
authentic by many, the story being so
plausible an explanation of the coali-
tion of the Rapid Transit and Hawaii
an Tramways Companies has it that
Pain and his stockholders have made
move al the very end of the game,
as unexpected as it was clever, which
on the face of it, looks like checkmate
to the Rapid Transit interests as far
as the control of the line is concerned.
AS the story goes, the Boston firm
who placed the Rapid Transit bond is
sue of S46OOO0 acted as agents for the
English stockholders and their placing
the bonds was the last move in an ex-
cedingly astute little game. Whether
the author of the plan was Manager
Pain, the act of the British stockhold-
ers or a sharp Yankee trick is not
shown.
The use that was to be made of the
ponds was briefly this. There was said
TO be clause in the bonds to the effect
that they were eXchangeable at the
will of the holder for paid up stock. At
the right moment the paid up stock
was to be demanded and acquired and
the control of the electric road would
lie in the hands of the stockholders of
the old mule car system. A change of
management would naturally be i'm
aglned and, supposedly, the new man
ager would be Pain, VINO would thus
reap the reward of sweet revenge and
run the road, adding to it's scope or not,
as he liked.
This story was supposed to explain
the arrangements by which the Rapid
Transit is announced to be preparing
TO take over the mule system, arrange
ments which consist of a price being
paid in Rapid Transit securities ex-
changed at a rate which many stock
holders have thought higher than nee
essary at the present stage of the
game. Were the story of the bonds
correct, the good price paid for the
mule system would then be regarded
in the light of a legitimate counter
move after discovery of the attempt to
gain control.
Unfortunately for the story, which
had many corroboratlve details, such
as the presence of agents of both the
Boston firm and the English stockhold-
ers on the ground; the directors of the
Rapid Transit state that there is no
clause in the bonds granting an eX-
change for paid up stock for the simple
reason that there is no paid up stock
in the treasury of the road to exchange.
"One million dollars of paid up stock
has been issued" said Col. j. H. Fisher
this morning, "and it has all been tax
en-. The Castle interests some time ago
surrendered their bonds to uS, taking
paid up stock instead, nut at-that time
there was stock III the treasury. The
surrendered bonds enabled us to sell
them over again and secure necessary
money fer extensions.
THE road is built across the McCul-
ly tract and the track will be laid down
as soon as the owners of the property
have accepted the filing in contract.
I do not think we shall send cars
round the Waikiki bend. There are
few houses there or likely to be where
as the McCully property is more than
likely to be improved as soon as the
cars run.

ARE HARBOR MENACES
AND MUST Be
REMOVED
BROKEN HULKS IN ROTTEN
ROW MUST BE DISPOSED OF BE-
FORE END OF MONTH-ORDER
FROM PUBLIC WORKS. OFFICE.

Orders have been given Fred Walker
to remove the Topgallant, Sebastian
Bach and Twilight from Rotten Row
Those broken hulks are declared by
the Public Works department to be
menaces to navigation, and unless the
old broken boats are removed by Sep
tember q, Harbor Master Fuller will
take steps at once to destroy them.
The bark Sebastian Bach and schoon-
er Twilight are both very dangerous 10
shipping in the harbor, as both of them
are submerged and while they lie some
distance from where vessels pass, new
ertheless they are actually dangerous
in case a vessel is docking in heavy
weather. Should a high wind from off
shore be prevailing at the time and the
vessels lines part she might be swept
onto the hulks before her anchor
could check her. The result would prob
ably be that she would receive some
serious damage 70 her hull. Tie bark
Topgallant is not quite so bad as she
is still above the water. Her timbers
are rotting rapidly, and she is likely
at any time to join the other boats be-
meath the surface of the water.
Walker has already taken steps to
comply with this oroer from the Public
Works department, but thus far the
vessels are still in the old places. Har>
Dor Master Fuller will take charge of
the hulks if they are not removed. He
will blow them up with dynamite.
Walker will probably succeed, however,
in getting the old hulks broken and
removed within the time granted him
by the Public Works department. As
soon as the ship Erskine NJ. Phelps
tows away from the side of the Top
gallant, the work o[ destruction will

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES, ~,

"If we take over the mule system, it
is probable that we shall run those cars
under our management until our cars
run down McCully to the Waikiki road.
Then we would continue the mule cars
from that point to Waikiki while we
built, gradually assimilating the old
system into ours The receipts of the
road are increasing wonderfully as
we add new extensions, and along the
old routes many are commencing to
ride who did not do so before. These
last are principally Orientals. The
earnings for this month will easily
reach $lS 000."

ALBANY
OPERA
HOUSE
Will be an Accomplished
Fact.

ALBANY, Feb. Yesterday afternoon
the contract was signed for the coz
struction of the of the new opera
house. II. r. Schultz, after considering
the bids several days, awarded tito John
McChesney, the wellknown contractor,
and the papers we're signed. The con-
tractor has until July to complete the
structure.
Work on the building will begin at
once and no time will be lost in finishing
it. The building is designed by Chas.
II. Burgraf, the architect, and is model
Of neatness. The stage is jOx5O, with q
height Of 45 feet, giving ample room for
the best productions. The pit will have
a capacity of 400 and will be seated with
steel frame opera chairs. a commodious
and convenient gallery with ample eleva'
tion will seat about as many more.
On each side OF the stage neat and
tasty private boxes for parties will add
materially to the beauty Of the interior
The lower floor will have sufficient
elevation to make every seat desirable
The latest and best scenery will be
placed on the stage, aud when completed
Albany will have one Of the best opera
houses on the coast
1t will cost about $500. Although
the contract price lie only $1,000, yet the
furniture, fixtures, heating, plumbing
and stage fittings will swell the cost to
the greater sum. This city has been
sorely in need Of an opera house for sev-
eral years, and at last through he un-
tiring work of Messrs. Burggraf and
Schultz it will soon have one.
