place iu the office of the kapiolani as-
tate. during which Hogan is said tn

Prince cupid viii take no cognizance
/ of the challenge. He resents being
drawn into the brOi but viii take no
steps to accommodate Hogan. His
share i'm the matter runs as follows.
Hogan and his lawyer George Davis
were having "a lengthy alteration with
] Neohokalolo over the transportation
/ question. Davis. as arbitrator decided
. that aside from the actual fare, the
/ berths would amount to- twenty dollars
more apiece for Hogan and RinggOld
| with a meal allowance of five dollars

was offered and Cohen who was To have
acted as imDrOsaTiO of a new company
of which Hogan and McLain were to
have been joint stars, offered to guarau-
tee the sleepers and food across the
continent Hogan seems To have doubt

the rest We're forced To put up with

Sherrah quartet also claim to have been
provided with accommodations worse
than that usually allotted to steers ON
cattle boat. Therefore Hogan preferred
seeing the color of his money to pro-
misses
Manager Cohen shows contracts to
prove that the company was not entitled
to more than second class passages and
i'm some instances not even that There
is no possible kick that can be made
by any of the company said Joe Cohen
this morning. "They have been paid
every cent that is coming to them. The
claim against the members of the hui
who did not pay their share has been
bought by a third party for 100 cents
on the dollar so as to leave the COM
pany no cause for dissatisfaction and
will be prosecuted after their departure.
"The company's performances have
not made the proposition a paying one
but all expenses have been paid the
performers and all the salaries that are
lcoming to them have been settled in
full. Hogan received $5I5 the day be-
fore yesterday and then made the kick

Ian I can understand the only duel talk
that took place was HOg1n's remark off
ter being ordered nut of the Office that
he would fight P"ince Cupid a onel or
any thing else if p" wanted to. Hogan
was beside himself with rage when l
left.
He totally denies having sent any
challenge this morning and there is no
such person as John Walker known to
Hogan or myself.

however He is too uncertain. I my
self have lost several thousand dollars
over this deal but the performers have
been dealt with up to the last letter of
their contract
Yesterday Prince Cupid came into the
office while the alteration was going on
during which Hogan was very excited
and abusive, and requested him not tC
make any disturbance in the office as
it was his office and had nothing to do
with the matter of HOgan's difficulties
! with the Orpheum on Hogan COntinu-
ing his objections the prince requested
him to behave as gentleman and,
when tho officer came, requested him
! to escore Mr.. Hogan outside the Off
Ce." Bystanders unite in saying that
there was nothing i'm either the princes
remarks or demeanor to be construed
into anything more than a polite but
, determined request for Hogan to leave
his private office.
Hogan was wildly excited and eX-
claimed that he would fight Prince Gu
. pid if he wanted him to. This seems tC
be the only foundation for the duel and
challenge story which will be totally
ignored by the prince having indeed NOT
l been received by him.
| The supposed challenge reads as fol-
lows: Hogan denies having any knOwl-
edge of the letter or the man whose
name appears at the bottom.
