the victims The tale follows the for
tunes of Roger Verring, the son of

is NOT IN THE NAVY. APPEAL FROM HAWAII
HOW SAILOR ANDERSON WAS
BOUNCED.
Is Stated to Have Misrepresented Con-
ditions to Captain Rodman in the
Hope of Getting on Iroquois.

In spite Of strenuous efforts to break
into the Navy, Seaman Anderson is stlll
a private citizen, although he was with
in an ace of being enlisted Anderson
incidentally caused considerable COntrO-
versy for a short time between the
naval of cials and Captain Halcruw OF
the merchant marine.
Anderson was on the bark Louisiana.
which arrived some days ago from
Newcastle. Evidently he thought that
the sailors on the government tug IrO-
quOis. led an easy existence, so he ma
turally sighed for the same thing. He
went to Captain Rodman, the comman-
der of the IroQuOis, and asked to be
enlisted. Anderson stated tha Captain
Halcrow had agreed to give him his dis
charge if he could secure a good posi-
tion in Honolulu Captain Rodman had
the man examined by the medical Off
GER as Anderson passed a good ply
steal examination, there was nothing in
line to prevent his enlistment
Anderson however stated to Captain
Rodman that Captain Halcrow would
not pay him off on that day but desir-
ed a slip of paper to show that he had
been enlisted in the navy and had Sc
cured good position Captain Rod
man gave him the paper and Anderson
went to Captain HalCTOw with the do
cument which announced that Ander-
son was abult to be enlisted in the
navy. When Captain Halcrow saw
what had been done, he Immediately
thought that Captain Rodman had gone
into the business of stealing men from
, the merchant vessels and, in fact eX-
pressed rather severe criticism on the
subject.
Captain Rodman heard of the matter
and he forthwith held conversation
with Captain Halcrow. He explained
to the latter the real situation, and
was informed by Captain Halcrow that
Anderson had deliberately misrepres-
ented the circumstanees. as Halcrow
had never made any such agreement.
The two captains then held a confer
I eS'e with Anderson, in the course OF
which, the wOuld-be naval man receiv-
ed good dressing down.
Captain ROdman promptly bounced
Anderson and refused to enlist the fell
low in the service. Captain Halcrow
! expressed himself entirely satisfied
with the course Of Captain Rodman in
the matter.

THE NAVAL STATION
CAPTAIN WHITES ESTIMATES
ARE MADE.
over Five Million Dollars Is Asked as
A Starter-Winter Session of Con-
gress May Act.

Captain L. S. G. White, T. S. N, the
civil engineer of the navy deuartment
who is here looking after Peart harbor
matters, is Of the opinion that the ap-
preparation for the improvements will
be made by the next session q the pre-
sent Congress, which begins next De-
.Cember. But for the litigation, the mat
ter would have been submitted to this
session, and Captain White thinks that
there would have been a liberal ap-
preparation, as there are a number of
men in the House who have recently
visited Honolulu and have expressed
themselves as favOring a large station
at Pearl HarbOr.
''The estimates are ready" said Cap
tain White this morning, asking a lit
tie over five million dollars as a first
appropriation, but there is no chance
that Congress will do anything until
the government has a clear title to the
ld'd
The station at Pearl harbor is un-
dOubtedly to be a very important one,
as a supply depot, coaling place and
place for repairs The idea of establish

think Congress will be liberal in setting
aside money for improvements, when
we have the title.
Building plans can hardly be gone
ahead with until we know how much
money there is to be used, but we have
done some work in this line, of course

The Nippon Maru arrived of the port
this morning shortly after 6 o'clock,

rious death in the steerage, she was not
permitted to go to the Channel wharf
until nearly noon. The death occurred
April 16, one day after leaving YOkO-
hama, and a Chinese man was the vic
tim. Dr. Cofer, the head of the local
quarantine service, made a careful In
vestigatiOn of the death, and finally de-
cided that it had not been due to plague
or any similar disease against which
his department had to guard, so permit
ted the vessel to dock and discharge her
freight and land passengers. Pending
this examination, the vessel came into
the harbOr and anchored in the stream.
The vessel has a big crowd Of steerage
passengers. She brought $50 tons of
freight for Honolulu and three cabin
passengers. Twelve Chinese We're pas

Some Gambling Outfit.

There were no less than q Chinese
and Japanese in the police court this
morning to answer to charges of gam
bling. The crowd was captured in two
patches, during raids by the police last
night. In the cases Of seven, the wit
nesses went back on the prosecution,
so the batch Of defendants escaped on
account of nolle prOsequis being enter
ed. In the other cases however, con
victiOns were secured and each defen-
dant was fined s. and costs.
Lai IIu and Wong Lei charged with
maintaining disorderly houses, failed
to appear i'm court and their bail was
declared forfeited.

left his dray horse unhitched in pub
lie street yesterday. Judge Wilcox ad-
vised him not to do so any more, and
charged him S6 for the advice, the mo-
ney going into the Territorial treasury.
Mahara charged with having gam
bling apparatus i'm his possessions,
tried very hard to pass the buck to
another Japanese and the latter tried
to pass the buck too but in the end
the court found the original defendant
guilty and fined him $l5 and costs
Miahara claimed that the gambling
outfit belonged to his friend who had
left 1t in Miahara's room. The friend
declared that the stuff did not belong
tC him at all, but had been left by the
former occupant Of the room.

d. b. Smiths Life Policy for $4,000.
Fourth Circuit Court Is Reversed in
Two Cases

Cecil Brown, administrator Of the es-
tate of the late d. b. Smith. this morn
ing filed a petition for partial distribu-
ton of the estate, in which he states
that the Equitable Life Assurance So
ciety Of New York has taken an appeal
from the Supreme Court of Hawaii tU
the United states supreme Cou" n the
matter OF the payment OF tho 5gHI
policy on Smiths life, to his daughter
in Honolulu. The Supreme court here
held that i'm spite of an action begun in
New York to collect the amount of the
policy there by an aunt of the deCeas-
ed, the company must pay the money
here. This was resisted on the ground
that the company was in danger Of
paying the money twice, if the New
York courts upheld the claimants there.
and the company has now taken the
case to Washington,
Brown says that he has collected all
the money due the estate with the eN-

MAKING OF OKOLEHAO
STILLS IN KALIHI VALLEY DE
SCRIBED.
A Witness Who Bought Two Stills for
Portuguese-The Raid on Castanha s
Place.

A large crowd of Portuguese gather
ed in Judge Estee's court this morning
to hear the case of NJ. r. Castanha and
R, Castanha, who are charged with
distilling liquor in Kalihi valley. The
case promises to be a very long one.
There are about fifteen witnesses and
all yesterday afternoon and most of
this morning was occupied with one of
them. A huge demijohn of okolehao
and the distilling apparatus are in evil
dence for the benefit of the jury and
q photograph has been taken of kalihi
valley, showing the homes of the Cas-
tanhas and one Lessa, a neighbor and
witness in the case.
The evidence brought out mentions
other Portuguese having stills and
there may be some very interesting re-
velations before the case ends, result
ing in some more prosecutions that will
stir up the Portuguese colony, The
Castanhas are being defended by J. NJ.
Vivas and S. f. Chillingworth.
Kamaka a native who had worked
for Castanha, testified that he had
helped the latter and both his sons, to
make OkolehaO. He had worked with
them at the same Container and had
also worked with one COspino, a POr-
tuguese who is also said to be an adept
at the profitable art of making the
fiery Hawaiian drink.
Kamaka says that a Chinese store
made and sold the distilling apparatus.
AS it is a violation of the law to have
such an apparatus in possession at all
unregistered, this opens up further
possibilities for Collector Chamberlain,
to whom the distilling case was turned
over by the police. Kamaka gave the
name of Wing Sing Sam, whose place
Of business is on King street, as the
man from whom the still was bought
Kamaka bought two of them at the
same time one for the defendant and
another for CaspinO.
The photograph of the scene of the
operations shows a birds eye view of
Kalihi valley. The home of the Cas-
tanha's is at one side of the picture
and the Lassa home at the other, with
a lot of lantana between. The distill-
ing apparatus was found between the
two places. 1t is said that the defense
will try to fix the ownership of the
still and okOlehaO on Lassa.
Mary Lassa was the second witness
called by District Attorney BreckOns
She testified to the seizure of the still
by the police 1t appeared from hel
testimony that Castanha got a tip tha
the officers were coming, just before
the latter arrived on the scene. He
threw part of the still away and hic
the rest in the lantana, said Mary
Lassa, but the police found it anc
seized it, arresting Castanha and his
son.

JAPANESE PAPA LTA.

YOKOHAMA, April 15.-It may inter-

10 learn that the rite or ceremony OF
Hiwatari, or walking on fire, which has
been elaborately described by Professor
Percival Lowell in his work, was to be
held at the Shinto temple at Saruga-
KuchO, Kanda, ToykO, for three days
commencing, it is said, on Wednesday.
A contingent of foreign tourists went
to Tokyo on Wednesday to see this GU
rious rite. Last year several foreigners
including a lady, walked on fire bare
footed after the ceremony by the priests
in charge.
