An unrecorded transaction between
James H. Boyd and T. H. Davies & co.
in which the sum of $4,000 was involved
will be one of the first things that the
Superintendent of Public Works will
be asked to set right if he returns upon
the Sierra next Tuesday as he has
written he intends to do.
This amount was paid to Supt. Boyd
to be used upon the Improvement of
Bridge street, Hilo, by Davies & Co., in
consideration of which the government
agreed to cancel leases held by Davies
& &c. and which the corporation de-
sires to revoke.
The books of the department fail to
disclose any indication of the payment
of that amount to the government,
though Davies & Co. hold the following
receipt from Mr.. Boyd:
Honolulu, H. T., April "a, 1902.
Received of Theo. H Davies & Co.,
Ltd, three thousand dollars, to be ex-
pended for the imp ovement and ex-
tension cf Bridge Street, Hilo, Hawaii
JAS. H. BOYD,
$4,000. Supt of Public Works.
Neither is there a showing upon the
books of the treasurer that the money
was paid in as a government realiza-
ton or as a special deposit, as the law
requires should have been done. The
explanation offered by friends of Mr.
Boyd is that the money might have
been given by him to one of his clerks
to deposit or to send TO the Hilo road
board, to be used directly for the work
for which it is intended.
Tho improvement OF Bridge street in
Hilo had been ordered by Mr.. Boyd
he having instructed Marston Camp
bell, assistant superintendent, to &c
ahead with the work shortly before
leaving for the mainland. The instruc-
tions sent by Mr.. Campbell to the Hiie
road board however contained no ref
erence to the sSOoO AID if the money
actually was sent TO the read board, il
must have been done by MIR. BOYD per-
sonally. q

FROM THE FRYING
PAN INTO THE FIRE
JOHN LUA ESCAPED FROM GRAND
JURY INDICTMENT ONLY TO
COURT POLICE PROSECUTION.

After escaping Indictment by the
grand jury last month on the charge of
larceny, John Lua is likely to be in the
tolls of the police authorities as Detec-
tive David Kappa is looking for him.
Lua is alleged to have been guilty of
horse stealing.
According to the statements of the
police, Lua escaped on November 28
from danger of prosecution as the grand
jury was unable to return any indict-
ment against him. Evidence which the
police thought would result in his in
dictment for larceny was laid before the
grand jury. Lua was charged with
stealing a calabash from Mr.. Schweitzer
and $75 from A. B. Woods Japanese
servant. The evidence was conside! ed
insufficient however.
ON November after escaping from the
grand jury danger Lua is alleged to
have laid himself liable to arrest by
taking horse belonging to Sing Chong
a Chinese store keeper at the corner of
Metcalf street and Wilder avenue and
on the following day, disposing of the
stolen horse to japanese named Miata
on the Asylum Road for $12.
The police are searching for Lua to
take him into custody as he will prob
ably be prosecuted on a charge of steal
ing Sings horse.

SOCIETY TO

THE SWELL SET OF HONOLULU
TO TURN PLAYERS ON NEW
YEARS EVE.

Honolulu Society folk under the aus
pices of the Kilohana Art League will
give dramatic entertainment for New
! Years Eve, Tuesday, December So at
I the Opera House, the proceeds being
! fer the benefit of the League.
The affair will be one of the social
| events of the season and many end-of-
| the-year dinner parties are being ar
ranged with a view to a theater party
afterwards. The names of those TAX
ing part in the sketches are being kept
close secret for the present, but one
of the most exclusive sets in town is
at the head of the movement and many
amateurs who have proven themsel-
YES privately to be possessed of dra-
matte talent will come before the pub
! lie in the assistance Of the League.
Others who play have already appear
ed on the Opera House stage in local
productions.
The evening will consist of two sket-
ches and another number which is like
ly to prove the star attraction of the
program. The sketches are, one laugh
able, the other more vigorously dram

and I'm Honor Bound"

carefully selected and rehearsals are
constantly going forward, the players

suspicion of amateurism or lacking in
any detail. 1t is also safe to say that
the costuming and stage effects, the
latter enhanced by furnishings from
/ the homes of the players, will be be-
yond anything yet seen on a Honolulu
stage.
The third number on the program
! will consist of a reproduction of the
well known sexette from "Florodora."
The ladies taking part have been chos-
en- for their prettiness, their dancing
and their ability to spend a modest
fortune over the gowns. Their names,
except among their own set and, sans
dire, their dressmakers, will probably
not be divulged until the programme is
placed in the hands of the audience on
New Years eve.

IS PROMINENT
IN MINNESOTA
SPECIAL COMMISSIONER EUsTIs'
POSITION IN MINNEAPOLIS
FOREMOST IN PUBLIC AFFAIRS.

William H. Eustis, just now promi-
nently in the public eye of Hawaii in
connection with his mission as repre-
sentative OF the treasury department at
washington, is one of the foremost
figures in Minnesota public affairs.
Once mayor of Minneapolis and later
candidate on the Republican ticket for
gubernatorial hOnors he is easily among
the most popular and prominent men of
the state.
He came from the east to Minnesota
in 1881 when Minneapolis, now a thriv-
ing city of 250,000 inhabitants, was but
a town of $4,000 and soon took ac-
tive interest and action in the welfare
both of the state and it's capital city.
BY profession Mr.. Eustis is a lawyer,
devOting much of his attention to cor
poration business. He is largely inter-
ested in the real estate of his home city
and possesses valuable holdings, one of
them being the Eustis Block, a five
story structure in the heart of the city,
opposite the West Hotel and the Lum-
Der Exchange. In this building the
Elks' Hall is located an order in which
Mr.. Eustis, also a Mason, is interested
Ten years after his arrival in Minnea-
polls Mr.. Eustis was perhaps the most
popular man in the city. He is bach

est in industrial affairs that endear him
to Municipalities. is one of the best
raconteurs west of the thirteen states.
In 1892, he was made mayor by popular
vote and in '9S ran as governor backed
by the Republican ranks. John Lind
was his opponent and Mr. Eustis defeat
was largely due to the native son"
vote of Minnesota turning out for Mr..
Lind who is of Scandinavian origin.
Municipal affairs of the city, in which
he is largely interested demand much
of Mr.. Eustis' leisure. He was prac-
tically at the head of the census move
ment in Minnesota and was also chair
man of the reception committee or
ganized to welcome Secretary Shaw
during the tour of that official.
The mission to Honolulu was taken
upon the receipt of a telegram from
Secretary Shaw and the scope given to
Mr.. Eustis as a commissioner covers

TUBERCULOSIS
In Race With
COURTS
Dread MaIady IS Claiming
George Ferris for its own and
may Cozzen the Hang
man,

George Ferris, the condemned MUIR
derer will probably never live to be
hanged for his crime, unless the courts
make faster progress with his case
than they have made so far. Ferris
was sentenced. to be hanged by Judge
Gear two or three months ago, but his
case is still waiting for hearing on ap-
peal, and in the meantime the Defend
ants condition is such that a few more
months of prison life is not unlikely to
see him pass beyond the reach of hui
man justice. ..... ..... .....
Ferris is suffering with consumption.
His arrest and imprisonment for the
murder of John Watson was followed
at once by very evident loss of flesh
and physical weakness, and. those who,
had seen him before the day on which
he used knife with such deadly effect
on Watson We're surprised at his ap-
pearance in court He was pale and
emanciated, and during his trial he ap-
peared to be very weak
Ferris condition since his conviction
and since the court sentenced him to be
hanged has become steadily worse and
1t is now doubtful whether he will last
many months more. In any event, if
he is finally committed to the gallows,
1t Will be a weak and tottering invalid
that will be sent through the hang
mans drop.
Ferris was represented at his trial
by c. f. Reynolds with e. c. Peters
as associate counsel. Reynolds has left
the islands since the trial. and is not
expected to return, and Peters is now
the only counsel in the case. Exten-
sions of time have been granted for the
Ming of the bill of exceptions on ap-
peal, but the case will probably come
up for argument at the January session
of the Supreme Court. Under the
quickest legal procedure a final deci-
sion is not likely until March, and the
defendant is allowed a stay after the
final decision.
Ferris crime was the result of a
quarrel in Kakaako. He and Watson
had an alteration which ended by Fer
ris securing knife from his room and
stabbing the other man over the heart.

APPLICANTSFOO.
MANY FOR
Them
Republican Central Committee
BaIkS at the "CIean Sweet p"
Proposition When it sees the
Field,

The Republican Executive committee
yesterday afternoon refused to go into
the matter of recommending applicants
for Office as a general policy, and did
not take any action to press the new
heads of departments to make changes
in favor of the scores of applicants who
are after places. The clean sweep"
policy does not seem to have much sup
port in the committee.
The number of applications on which
the committee was asked to pass was
job that appalled, the members.
A motion to send the suitable appli-
cations UP to the officials interested,
with Communications, so that the
heads of departments might act as
they see fit, was voted down. 1t was
practically decided that there will be no
recommendations made for any offices
until vacancies have been created, and
the making of vacancies is matter for
the heads of departments and not for
the party committee.
Superintendent of Public Works
Henry K. Cooper has announced that
he does not intend to make any imme-
diate changes. He has not completed
his examination of the various depart
ments of his bureau yet, and will prob
ably make visits to the other islands to
familiarize himself with the work. A
number of changes are expected even
tually and the applicants are most
numerous for places in this department.
Board of Health jobs are also in great
demand.
The new heads of departments have
agreed to notify the party committee
of vacancies in their offices, and they
will hear from the committee after it
receives such notice. The committee
will hold another meeting in few days
when the matter of applications for
jobs will be more fully gone into. The
list has not even been gone over in
committee yet. Most of the time of
the meeting yesterday was taken up
with passing accounts.

THE MOOSE
CARPENTER DENIED
RIGHT TO DONATE
LABOR ON A CHURCH

FRESNO,O Nov. 20 The
local Carpenters Union has re-
fused to permit a non-uniU2
carpenter to work out his con-
tribution of labor to his church,
now under construction. G.. S.
Brewer, recent Socialist nomi-
nee for Governor and union
carpenter, took prominent
part in denying the man the
right to donate his labor to the
Lord. Brewer says the laws of
the International Union prohi-
biting union men from working
with non-union men must be
enforced, and the local has no
choice in the matter. Some of
the carpenters have publicly
announced that they were
ashamed of their action and will
seek a reconsideration.

CHILD, THE COURT
AND The WHTSKERS

Leon Cabral, big overgrown
boy, aged 10 years, was in the
police court this morning to an
swer to the charge of being dis
obedient to his mother. When
Icons name was called every
body thought a sobbing, childish
figure would stand before the
court. Instead of this ideal, a
bewhiskered man resembling
the fat Leon, the famous COM
panion of Alphonso and CASTOR
made his appearance. Accord
ing to MrsI Cabral, the whis-
kered Leon refused to produce
a proper proportion of his mon
ey with which to defray his liv-
ing expenses. Perhaps he was
saving for a shave and a sham
poo. The court decided to give
him a chance and dismissed
him with a reprimand.
