MEMORIAL FOR
THE SENATORS

The committee of the Builders and
Traders Exchange commissioned to
draw up a report on a memorial to be
submitted to the visiting senators, have
prepared a preliminary report which
they will present for suggestion and
alteration at a meeting to be held this
evening.
The report deals with returns the
Federal government have received from
the territory, the figures being accurate
ly compiled from the State Department
These show that for twenty one months
commencing June IA. 190O to March 81
1902, 81, ,401, 1888 has been received
$l92, 1852 has been expended in col
lecting this amount leaving a net of
81, ,269, ,632.77 paid in return for which
Hawaii has received nothing in apprO-
priatiOns. The need of public federal
buildings and the ones received as an
asset at the time of annexation will
be dealt upon with special interest by
the exchange from an expert point of
view. The labor question may be
touched upon.
The memorial will be presented by the
exchange as a separate body and the
visitors so met by the members. In
the matter of entertainment the eX-
change is willing to sink it's identity
and combine with the other organiza-
tions of the city. The committee on the
memorial is composed of A. Gartley, F.
j. Amweg, l.. r. Pinkham and w. w
Harris

TO KILL THE JUDGE BAND TO THE COAST
PROPOSED ADVERTISING TRIP
DURING VACATION.
Captain Berger and His Players May
Literally BLOW the Horn" For
Hawaii.

A movement is being exploited to
send the Hawaiian Territorial Band
up to San Francisco during their vaca-
ton, where they will give a series of
concerts as a means of advertising Ha-
wall, and also to pay their expenses
while there. Captain Berger is quoted
as thinking that all the band would be
eager to fill up their vacation in such
fashion. The Oceanic Steamship
Steamship Company, whose vessels
have been regularly played off by the
band, would, it is thought, contribute
towards the passage money.
The matter was put before the sec
retary of the Merchants Association,
w. w. Harris, this morning, in the fol-
lowing terms:
1T is proposed to fill up the vacation
of the band by sending the boys to San
Francisco. 1t is thought that the
Oceanic Steamship Company will be
willing to contribute towards their
fares in return for the constant play
ing off of their vessels. Captain Ber-
ger feels sure that the members of the
band will be all eager to go. With
their band playing, their fame, which
is considerable in the States, their glee
concerts, quintet club and soloists,
| they could, while not commanding the
prices and attendance of a Souza, give
a first class entertainment which would
serve as a big advertisement for Ha-
wall The fact that this was the fam
Gus Territorial Band that played con-
stantly in the islands free of charge,
would Of course be exploited.
"The boys want merely their steamer
| fares. On the coast the series of con-
certs would sustain them and even per-
! haps give them a little something over
Leave of absence would have to be
granted by the governor, but difficulty
there is not anticipated. The matter
has been placed before the Merchants
Association as a suitable body to APP
proach the Oceanic Steamship Com
pany in the matter of transporta tion
in view of the splendid advertisement
that the band, with their heralded ar
rival in the press, would be for Ha-
wall"
The Association may consider the
matter. ]. c. Cohen is the prime mov-
er in the project after discussing the
trip with Captain Berger. He leaves
for the Coast shortly and wishes tc
make preliminary arrangements fol
the tour or series of concerts to be Civ
en- by the band while on the Coast. The
vacation lasts a month, but addtiona
| leave of absence might be asked fol
and possibly granted.

TO START THE SEASON
WHITES VERSUS BLUES IN POLO
MATCH.
The Players and Their Ponies and
Handicaps-First Game Set for Satur-
day Week

The special committee of the polo as
sociation met yesterday afternoon and
definitely arranged the playing teams
for the first half of the season. These
Will be three in number, the Reds,
Whites and Blues. The Reds, who will
be captained by w f. Dillingham;, viii
perforce await his return from the
coast before starting in to play The
Blues and the Whites are to oppose
each other on Saturday week, August
%, the first game of the season.
The personnel Of the teams is as fol-
lows: Blues: G. S. Dole, 5 goals haudi-
cap, one horse; S. f.. Damon, 4 goals,
two horses; Prince Cupid, goals, two
horses and DR.. MCAdOry and Harold
Castle with two horses between them
as alternate players. Dr. McAdory IS
penalised with one goal.
Whites: A. f. judd goals, two
horses; II. F. Damon goals two
horses, X. Shingle, 3 goals, two horses
and j. J. Erdman and G. e. Brown as
alternates with two horses between
them. Erdmann is penarized to the ex-
tent of two goals
Reds: w. f. Dillingham;, goals, two
horses; G. c. Potter 4 goals, two
horses; J. T.Irvine, 2 goals and A.
Brown and c. f. Chillingworth penal

horse; Frank Andrade, 0 goals. one
horse p. r. Helm, 0 goals, one horse;
G. G. Fuller, l goal, one horse; William
Walker, I goal, one horse.
Looking over the teams, the Whites
appear to have a trifie the best of it as
far as ponies are concerned Every man
on the white team has a change OF
horses. Judd and Damon are two Of
the cleanest and fastest players in the
! league. The difficulty Will lie in max
ing out the position and regulating the
/ team work.
Dole for the Blues, the best player in
the league, bar Dillingham;, and right
! down to the pith of it, better than Di-
! lingham, is handicapped with only one
pony. He will probably have another
before the season is out, but he is
| heavy rider and the one pony VIII De
tired when the game is out. Dole VIII
certainly play four and his is about the
| only position that can be placed with
any certainty at this stage of the game
Dole is well backed by 5. E. Damon
and Prince Cupid, while heavy rider
on his ponies, is likely to work out into
first rank player during the season.
/ On Dillinghams team, both the She
riff and his deputy are unknown guam
| titles on the local polo field. Their rid
! ing is good and their play should be
fearless Potter rides well and Will be

THEY WANT THE JOB THEY SLEEK REVENGE.
LOTTERY DEALERS NOT PAYING
HUSH MONEY.
High Sheriff Thinks That a Disgruntled
Chinese is Trying to Get the Outfit
Into Trouble.

Evidently there is a row on among
the Chinese lottery people for one Of
them has turned informant. A letter
was received yesterday by the Star
evidently from a Chinese in which he
stated that a lottery game was being
operated by the Chinese in Waipahu,
and that the agents were all over the
city. The bank was alleged to nave a
capital of $500 and to hold dra wings
twice a day The agents would the let
ter stated, visit all stores and private
houses for the purpose of disposing of
the tickets The names of kui Chin
and Tuck Lee on King street were mem
toned as being connected in some way,
with the concern.
High Sheriff Brown was shown the
letter and asked if such a band was in
operation. Il have received informa-
tion" said the High Sheriff that such
an institution is in operation. The
bank is run by Chinese at Eva where
the drawings are held but the bankers
have their agents all over this city.
Yesterday l received a letter similar to
the one addressed to the Star. Evil
IDENTIFY the bankers are not paying hush
money to disreputable characters, who
have taken this means of getting re-
venge by informing on the bank
owing to our laws on the subject it
is practically impossible to secure a
conviction for pakapio. One of the
laws imposed punishment on a person
for having pakapiO tickets in his pos
session. In the particular instance of
this Eva bank the bankers have re-
tanned counsel and pay him a regular
retainer fee and from this attorney are
told how to conduct their bank so as 10
avoid the laws.
These pakapio tickets are nothing
more nor less than the Chinese alpha
Bet and a player marks certain letters
on the ticket. There is no other mark
or character to indicate that this is a
ticket which is dependant on lottery
and in consequence, we are unable to
prove that they really are lottery
tickets, although there may not be the
slightest moral doubt on that score.
The tickets do not state wheheT there
is any lottery to be held or whether,
and in fact the lottery might, so far as
any evidence goes, have been already
| drawn. The result is that very few
| convictions can be secured.
TT is next to impossible to secure evil
dence against the bankers for they deal
with their special agents, The only
method of reaching the banks is to EN-
ploy inforTners. Only men of the lower
character can be secured for tnis work
and as the circuit court judges refuse
to accept that testimony which is the
only testimony the police can secure, II
| is a useless waste of money trying to
| break up the banks by that means
The police are in consequence, placed
at a very great disadvantage"

CANDIDATES FOR SHIPPING
COMMISSIONER.
B. G. Holt and Clifford Kimball Seem
To Be Favorites-John Dias and S.
de Freest Also Discussed.

Although the office of shipping com
missioner of this port is not as profit
able as formerly, number of persons
have begun to try and secure the ap-
pointment as successor to w. Porter
Boyd, the former shipping commission
er.
At the present time John Dias, VINO
was the assistant to Mr.. Boyd, is act
ing as shipping commissioner, and is
moreover, an applicant for the perma-
nent position. He will not have an
easy row to hoe, however, in securing
the place, for others want the place
Among the most prominent candidates
are 3. G. Holt secretary of the Hamil-
ton, McCabe & Renney stevedore COM
pany, and Clifford Kimball of Wilder's
lumber department. S. de Freest is
still another applicant.
Both Mr.. Holt and Mr.. Kimban are
acquainted with shipping matters, as
their work has brought them into fire.
quent contact with the masters of sail
ing vessels, Mr.. Hollis acquaintance
with the masters being especially ex-
tensve. No action has as yet been
taken in the matter but Mr.. Holt and
Mr.. Kimball are thought TO have the
brightest chances of securing the ap-
pointment.
1t is predicted that the shippin- busi-
ness Of this port will, within a couple
of years, become very extensive, for as
soon as the Panama canal shall have
been opened, these islands will be in
the roadway of all Oriental commerce,
and the lively days of the whalers will,
many think, come again.

tie & Cooke at 10 o'clock

to be held on August 2S.
1t is generally understood that there
is some trouble with the water supply
at Waimea, investigation into the
source and remedy of which will con-
stitute the object of the committee ap-
pointed this morning.

MUST PROVE
THEIR RIGHT

The case of All Su, a Chinese woman
who is charged with being unlaWfully
in the country, was called this after
noon at 1870 before United States Com
missioner e. S. Gill. United States At
torney Breckons appeared for the gov
ernment and Brooks for the defense.
The evidence involves an inquiry into
the means by which the woman was
brought here, and some interesting
developments are expected.
The prosecution is trying to prove
that All Su was brought here for i'm
moral purposes, and other prosecutions
Will follow if the case is established.
Some wealthy Chinese are mixed up in
the case, and proceedings will be taken
against them if the evidence can be
secured. The case of All Gnau, set for
hearing tomorrow, is of the same ma
ture.
The Chinese women have a right to
remain in the country if they can
prove that they were born here, or that
they are really the wives of citizens,
or of Chinese merchants entitled to re-
main in the country. Otherwise un-
less they are able to produce certifi-
cate of registration, they will be de-
ported,
The cases are the first ones of the
kind to come before the Commissioner
here, Judge Estee having heard previ-
Gus ones. In this class of cases, the
Commissioner has full jurisdiction and
may make a decision and give an or
der of deportation.
1t is said that the women were prac-
tically Slaves" brought here as such,
and the inquiry will probably bring
out some facts as to how they were
able to pass the immigration bureau
and get into the Islands.

VIVAS WAS MISSING.

This makes the second time in a
week." said Judge Wilcox this morn
ing, that Mr.. Vivas has secured war
rants from me for cases outside of my
district and then failed to appear to
prosecute them. l will dismiss this
case for lack of prosecution"
The occasion for the court making
this remark was the trial of a little
Portuguese boy named August Souza
from the Honolulu Plantation. The
boy had been charged with assault and
battery on M. V. Paula Jr Mr.. Vivas
was not present to prosecute the case,
so the court gave the defendant his
liberty.

CHOOSING SENATORS
Eth DISTRICT MEN AFTER
PLEDGES,
They Want Places in The Senatorial
Ticket-Fourth District Can Easily
Control the Convention.

Since the Republican District COM
mitties organized there have been a
number of conferences between mem
bers of the Fifth and Fourth districts,
on the subject of which district is
to have the candidates for the Senate.
The Island of Oahu is all in one Sena-
torial district comprising the two re-
presenative districts, and the two dis
trict committees are to meet in joint
convention and nominate senators.
The Fifth district members have
been trying to get pledges that the
joint convention will allow them at
least two of the senators. The Fourth is
much stronger, having So votes to 81
for the Fifth. The Fourth district men
will therefore be able to control the
nominations, and put up all Fourth
district men if they choose.
The Fifth men claim that the retlr-
ing senators are from their district, and
the Fourth already has three senators
Brown, Crabbe and KalauOkalani,-th
new members of the upper house
should come from the Fifth. The plan
favored by the members of the Fourth
generally is to let the nominations be
made openly, and to let both districts
vote for the best men. Under this plan
Fifth district men are likely to 20
down, and there will be strong efforts
up to the last to get a decision in ad-
vance of the voting to select two from
the Fifth.
The Fifth district has four candidates
up at the present time, and would
take all the nominations iif it could
on the ground that the Fourth has all
the Senators. The candidates are L. l.
McCandless, Senator Achi, John Lane
and DR.. Huddy. The Fourth also has
plenty of candidates and it is regarded
as practically certain that only two
of the other district men will get nomi-
nations

Several Japanese fishermen caught a
large sword fish last Tuesday be-
tween Diamond Head and Koko Head.
They were fishing in a sampan and

A1RArRoss EXPECTED.

Captain Bruhn of the steamer Kauai
saw the Albatross off Niihau last Mon
day. The vessel had been to BIRD ISL
and and had nearly completed her
work about Niihau. She expected to
reach Honolulu today. No trace OF
the crew or any wreckage Of the Dark
Ceylon had been sighted. In fact 1t
was not expected that any trace would
be secured as the CeylOn in all prob
ability, took an entirely different
course from the vicinity of Bird ar
Niihau island . that if any accident
befell her, no evidence of it would get
to either of those islands.

A PORTO RICAN CRIMINALS
PROMISE.
Is Given Two Years For Larceny In
the Second Degree-other Defendants
Arraigned This Morning.

Jose Reveira, a Porto Rican who
pleaded guilty to larceny in the cir
cult court this morning, declared that
he would kill the judge who sentenced
him, at the end of his term Jose stole
about S35 worth of jewelry from Isaac
CocEett and was indicted by the
Grand Jury yesterday. He pleaded
guilty and was asked by Judge Gear
if he had any reason to give why sem
tence should not be passed.
Nothing, only when l get out of
jail, l will kill the Judge" said Reve-
ira to the interpreter. He was given
two years hard labor. Floreno Andi-
TO, Manuel Moral and Kaino Martin
pleaded not guilty to a charge of as
sault with a weapon. Andino at first
pleaded guilty, but his story was of
self-defense, and plea of not guilty
was entered. Andino said that he
went into a Japanese store to get a
lemonade and sat down to drink it,.
The Jap came and proposed to play
seven-eleven and the Porto Rican said
he didn't understand the game Then
the Jap began to fire him out of the
store, and the cutting took place.
All Cheong pleaded guilty of larceny,
and his plea was also changed to not
guilty, when he denied having stolen
the jewelry on account of which he
was accused. He said he had no mon
ey, no lawyer and no friend, and his
case went over. The court will ap-
point a lawyer to defend him.
r. M. Duncan, who was indicted for
malicious injury for having torn down
a building alleged to be the property
of another, made plea of not guilty.
In all the other cases in which in
dictments were returned yesterday
the defendants were arraigned and
pleas were reserved. The defendants
had all secured counsel.
Attorney c. F. Reynolds asked for a
postponement of the case of George
Ferris, murder to a week from next
Monday. The case will be heard at
that time if others are disposed of,
Ferris was in court and looked much
reduced by his term in jail. He has
lost flesh and appeared to be weak and
ill.
The case of Lee Kee and 16 others
charged with gambling, was called, and
the defendants were absent. The sew
enteen Chinese names were called al
the door, and as there was no response
Judge Gear made an order declaring
the bail forfeited. The same order was
made in the case of Tan Wan.
There was no case in which both
sides were ready, and after trying to
start a trial, Gear adjourned court to
L o'clock this afternoon, ordering all
cases to be ready at that time.
