ALLEGED TO HAVE ROBBED
RAPID TRANSIT
Man Who Purchased Alleged stolen
Goods VIII Not BE Bothered How
ever-Case in Court Today.

General Manager Ballentyne of the
Honolulu Rapid Transit & Land Com
pany swore to complaints this morning
charging three native boys, Aqua Sc
qua alias Manuel Peter and Daniel Ea.
with larceny in the second degree. The
trio was arraigned before Judge VIII
cox to answer to the charge and the
case was continued until tomorrow.
The crowd broke into one of the tenn
purary houses of the Rapid Transit
Company at the old Honolulu Stock
yards corner, It is alleged, and from
there carried away IS copper bands
worth about S85. These stolen articles
were being used in Joining the sections
of rails of the company, on the new
line which is being built along South
street and into King. The bands were
quite valuable and We're specially man
ufactured for the company, as they are
necessary to carry the current of cleo
triCity along the rails. Four of the
bands We're eighteen feet in length and
the others measured about one foot
each. Five boys were in the theft it
is thought which was committed We'd
nesday night, a week ago. The stolen
goods We're mutilated by the boys with
the idea of forestalling Identification
and were seCreted in the home of one
Of the crowd.
Subsequently, the boys disposed OF
the goods to a clerk in the plumbing
store of German, Patton & Company
for about $3.50. Manager Balentyne
reported the theft to the police and De-
tective David Kaapa succeeded in ar
resting the three defendants.
One of the boys stated that they had
sold the copper ware. Judge Wilcox
said that it would be an excellent idea
to bring the people who had purchased
the goods into court and make them
explain their part in the transaction.
There would be-, he said, mo incen-
tive to the boys to steal, if there was
no opportunity for disposing of the
goods Manager Ballentyne does not,
however appear to care to prosecute
the person who bought the stolen goods
from these boys"

QUARRY UNLOCATED.TO PROSECUTE BOYS
THE ROCK CRUsHER REMAINS
IDLE.
Superintendent Boyd Says He Cannot
Find the site Referred to BY Mott
Smith.

The rock-crusher proposition appears
to have been dropped again. after
brief revival due to superintendent
Boyd's effort to get the machine start
ed. The matter will now probably
have to await the return of Governor
Dole. Boyd has looked for and failed
to find the quarry that is alleged to eX-
ist within a quarter of a mile of the
present site, and he says now that he
viii wait for the governor to point it
out 10 him.
When the governor returns" said
Boyd IF he knows Of the site which
Mr.. Mott-Smith will not point out be-
cause he is not paid to do so, he can
show it, The engineer who was sup
posed to know of it, could not show me
an available site.
The only quarry l know of Is within
about a hundred feet of the present
site. l don't see that removal to that
location would do any good. 1t is to
the WindWard of the asylum. and the
ICct crusher working there would be
objected to by the Board of Health
lust as much as where 1t Is now"
After the meeting of the Board at
which the new site was talked of Boyd
sent some of his men out to look fC"
the site. Their searches in the locality
have failed to disclose any place near
the present site where there is good
rock that could be worked in the
crusher, and the machine Will there
fore probably remain idle until the
governor returns, when the subject Will
be reopened again.

Will Be VERY BUSY
ALASKAN BEGINS RECEIVING BIG
CARGO.
VIII Take 5000 Tons of Sugar at
This Port and Go to Hilo and
Kahuui

The Railway wharves are the busiest
places along the Water Front. The ar
rival of the big freighter Alaskan has
caused the rush. The vessel reached
the wharf yesterday afternoon, and by
IL O'Clock last night, 500 tons of sugar
had been put into her. She is to carry
the biggest cargo of sugar which has
ever gone out of this port and Freight
Agent Morse of the Amerfcan-Hawaiia
line. is busy arranging to give her a
quick dispatch for New York
The vessel will receive 5000 tons of
sugar at this port She will sail on
Monday morning for Hilo, where she
will receive an additional $500 tons
from Hawaii plantations. On May s.,
she will sail from Hilo for Kahuluf
where she will take $500 tons more of
sugar competing a cargo of 500 tons
of sugar for the eastern refineries.
Practically every plantation in the
island, with the exception of c. Brewer
and company's and Castle and Cooke &,
will contribute to the vessels cargo.
Vessels from Kauai are being hurried
along with specials loads of sugar to
put on the Alaskan. The steamer w.
G. Hall will leave Makaweli tonight and
arrive tomorrow morning with a special
load of sugar for the Alaskan. The big
boat will receive sugar from the ware-
house and cars on the makai side and
from the island steamers on the mauka
side, so practically all of her matches
will be kept going.
The Alaskan will get away from Ka-
hului for New York about May 12
The ship Arthur Sewall is now re-
ceiving sugar in the railway slip from
the Castle and Cooke plantations on
this island and from the Makee sugar
company of Anahola the Globe Naviga-
tion Company having abandoned its
effort to ship direct from Anahola.

WAS AN OLD OFFENDER.

In the person of Jose Miranda, Porto
Rican, the police found an old offender
He was before Judge Wilcox yesterday
to answer to the charge of vagrancy
but the case was continued because Mi
randa claimed that he had $25 kept by
Chinese. The court wanted the Chi
nese produced, so continued the case
This morning Deputy High Sheriff Chill
lingworth announced that in view of
the fact that Miranda had about two
months to serve on a former sentence
imposed in the circuit court, the present
charge would be nolle pressed. 1t APP
pears that after the fellow had been
sentenced, he managed to escape from
the officer. you say" remarked Judge
Wilcox that the friend for whom you
worked is at the Jail. You vii have the
chance now of going over there and
passing two months in his society"

LAST OF THE CLAIMS
COMMISSIONER WILL FINISH
EARLY NEXT WEEK.
Losers BY the Aala Fire Have Put in
Claims-May Wait for News From
Pratt.

The court of fire claims will probably
finish it's work of adjudicating claims
next Monday or Tuesday. The commits
siOners are now working on the last of
the claims. When they met this morn
ing there were only ia left to be heard
and while some of them are difficult
ones and may take a little time, it is
thought that three days more sessions
will dispose of all.
Yesterday was a very slow day for
work, owing to the conflicts of rival
claimants. In one case there are eight
claimants for one lot of property lost,
and the commissioners have hard work
10 1ind out who is really entitled to put
in the claim.
This morning Aala claims were heard.
These are claims for losses in the fire
in Aala, some time after the big China
town fire. The court has not yet decid-
ed whether it will make any awards to
these claimants. The Aala fire was not
a government fire it is claimed and
therefore is not among those for which
the court was created. The commits
sioners have heard argument on
the question of considering these claims
and as in the case of the insurance
claims, they have taken the matter un-
der advisement
When the last award has been made
the commission will meet in executive
session and consider means of carrying
its decisions into effect This will make
a vast amount of clerical work for j. M.
Riggs, clerk of the court for there are
thousands of claim awards and accord
ing to the plan now being discussed
there will have to be three forms made
out for each one, the awards being in
three installments. The commissioners
may decide to delay matters for a time
to await reports from commissioner
Pratt, on the chances of getting help
from Washington in paying the claims.

MYRTLEs IN TRAINING.

Two fours of the Myrtle crews will be
out practising tonight in the harbor and
Captain Harris expects to have thirty
men rowing in the barges and practice
shells by next week. The work of
training and coaching has been con-
siderably delayed by the moving of the
boat house and the subsequent alter
ations, but things are now in line for
the start of the two months training
before the races.
Captain Harris tried to beg off from
the coaching this year on account Of
pressure of other business affairs but
the boys of the club would not hear of
it.

United Chinese Society's Rival Sets of
Officers.

The Chinese United Society suit came
up before Judge Gear this morning, the
defendants making a motion to dismiss
the case on the ground that the action
had not been brought by any person
having a right to do so. The suit is en-
titled the Territory of Hawaii upon the
srelatiGn of Wong Kwai and others
against G. X. A and others, being an
application for writ of quo warranto.
Ii is claimed by the defendants that
the proceedings is defective in that At
torney General Dole, representing the
Territory, has not appeared in the pro-
ceedings and that the complaint is not
signed in any way by the Territory.
Judge Gear took the motion under ad-
visement, after hearing argument all
morning. This is the suit to decide
which is the right set of officers of the
United Society.
The case of J. A. Magoon VS.. Kalei
was heard in Judge RobinsOn's court.
The plaintiff confessed demurrer and
was granted leave to amend his bill, an
exception being taken.
Judge Robinson appointed Josephine
Da Costa guardian of the Da Costa
minors, to take charge of the sum of
$743 belonging to them and which has
been paid into court

Talking For Buncombe

The expression was used toward the
close of the famous debate on the Mis-
souri, compromise in the sixteenth con-
gress QS2D. Buncombe, a county IN
the western section of North Carolina,
was then part of the congressional dis
trict represented by Felix Walker, a
resident of Waynesville, in the ada
cent county of Haywood.
The house was impatient to bring the
long debate to an issue when old man
Walker (he was then sixty-eight years
of age) rose to speak, and he was
greeted with loud clamors for "Ques-
ton" Several members gathered
around him, begging him to desist 9TH
ers left the hall, but he kept the floor
declaring that the people Of his district
expected n speech from him, that he
was bound to talk for Buncombe (or
words to that effect, and he did.
This Felix Walker had been in his
younger days the friend and compan-
ion of Daniel Boone when the latter
explored Kentucky and founded Boons-
borough. After representing North
Carolina from 1917 to 1923 he was a
member Of the state Legislature and
died in 1880 short time after remov-
ing to Mississippi.

Your father often returns from pisca-

Cromwell. That very dominating man
was born on Sept. 3, 1899; he won the
battle Of Dunbar Sept. 3, 1850; that of
Worcester Sept. 3, 1851, and he died
Sept. 3, 1868. But we have lately come
across some condolences Of dates
which, so far as we know, have not
been noticed before. The number 50
seems to have had fatal influence on
the Stuarts. Robert H., the first Stu
