SEVEN OR EIGHT
THOUSAND
DOLLARS
A Financial -Four Hundred"
Who Have Not Called For
Their PoSta Saving Bank
Deposits as Yet,

Secretary Carter has found another
'Chinese fund" in the shape of about
seven or eight thousand dollars of cash
deposited in the old Postal Savings
bank of Hawaii and never called for by
the depositors. Congress made an ap-
preparation of about 100000 and sent
the coin here to pay off the depositors,
but in Secretary Carriers safe there are
over 400 drafts issued to the depositors
who have never called for them.
Most of the deposits uncalled for are
small but there are quite number
over a hundred dollars and some sew
eral hundred. The money is drawing
no interest, and can be secured by the
owners by simply calling for it, but
they don't seem to want it, and Carter
is wondering what to do with the
money. The money is in deposit with
the First National bank, where it was
left by Treasury agent Mcclellan, who
brought the whole amount here, as he
is now bringing the fire claims money.
Some of the sums due are very small
There is one amount of $.03 another of
$,04 and several are under ten cents
while there is a large number only one
dollar or less. w. H. Pain is on the
list as having ten cents coming to him.
and c. Bolte can get twenty cents by
calling for his draft. A. L. C. Atkin-
san has a dollar coming which he
uOeSn I seem TO want. Inere are many
well known citizens on the list for
much larger sums. The small sums
represent balances of interest not
drawn. The federal government fig
ured the matter out to the last penny,
interest and all, and made clean ten
der of the whole sum.
The old postal savings bank was an
institution in which thousands of de-
positors placed small sums and received
therefor an annual interest of four
per cent. At the time of annexation
the federal government abOliShd the
bank and assumed the debt with the
other Hawaiian debt. All the de-
positors except the 400 whose drafts lie
in the office of the secretary called for
their drafts and got their money The
drafts bear the signature of Secretary
Cooper. and certify that the owners
thereof had deposits of the amounts
stated, with the postal bank. Proper
ly endorsed they are checks on the
First National for the sums stated.
1t is thought likely that a consider
able portion of the money will never
be called for. In that event it will
probably revert to the Territory "There
is no time limit in which the depostors
are required to call for the money"
said Secretary Carter, "and without
some action the money may lie as it Is
indefinitely. Perhaps law might be
passed naming a certain date on which
all the balance uncalled for shall be-
come a government realization"

FIND ANOTHER
ORPHAN FUND
MYSTERY OF
JAP SAILOR
WAS GIVEN MEDICINE IN THE
G-DISAPPEARED AND
NOTHING HEARD OF HIM SINCE.

One Of the Japanese sailors Of the
steamer Waialeale is missing. 1t is
thought more than likely that he fell
overheard and was drowned.
Last Thursday morning about 3
o'clock, while at Hanamaulu, the jap
anese went to Captain Mosher, the
master Of the vessel, and complained of
feeling ill. The Jap appeared to be
suffering from pains in the stomach.
Captain Mosher mixed him up a pre-
paration and gave the Japanese the
medicine. The Japanese disappeared,
going, it is supposed, to his bunk in the
forecastle. That was the last seen of
him alive.
Yesterday morning while the vessel
was en- route from Hanamaulu to XII
lauea, Captain Mosher told one of the
officers to get the Japanese out and SCI
how the man was getting along. A
search of the forecastle failed to find
any trace of him. The vessel was
searched but no Japanese was found.
Captain Mosher is inclined to the OPP
inion that the Japanese fell overheard
Thursday night and was drowned. 1t
is of course possible that the Japanese
might hFve swan ashore.
When the Waialeale arrived in this
port this morning, Captain Mosher no.
titled the police of the occurrence. The
Japalege was making his first trip on
the vessel. 1t appears to have been his
last

chinese FUND
LOCKED UP
TIGHT
Since Wray Taylor Went Away
There Has Been No Means
Of Getting at The Money
Loud Complaints Made,

A hundred or more Chinese are in
Honolulu trying to get their deposits
OF $36 each from the Chinese fund, in
order to leave the country, and cannot
get the money, on account of the pecu-
liar condition of the fund They are
making many calls at the Capitol
building and demanding their money.
but without success. Since Wray Tay-
lor left there has been no way for them
to get it,
Some of the Chinese have been wait
ing in Honolulu for over three months
for the money due them. AS long ago
as early January a Chinese called who
represented forty of his countrymen
who wanted to draw their deposits and
leave the country. He was told that
Wray Taylor was coming back and
then when Taylor failed to show up
matters were at a standstill. Now ac-
tion by the legislature is being awaited,
to provide for the control and DISPOSE
tion of the fund. The Chinese have a
big kick on account of lost time.
There is also talk of action by Chi
nese who are not going away. to get
the money they deposited. Some at
torneys take the view that the money
| belongs to the Chinese and that each
one Is entitled to draw his $36, without
going back to China, as the labor con-
tract under which he put up the money
was abrogated by the Organic act. I'm
der this view, ii is stated the Chinese
may take action to get back their de-
| posits.
Secretary Carter is of the opinion
that the money belongs to the Chinese
81 think that in view of the contracts
being void, the money should be re-
turned to the men who paid ii in," sahd
the secretary. "I don't see that 1t is
the property of the Territory or any
one else except the Chinese depostors-
though l understand that some lawyers
take the view that the part of the
labor contract dealing with the deposit
was not annuled. 1t is the oninion
of these attorneys that the provision as
to the S36 was a sort of contract with
! in a contract, carrying a consideration
| and that It is still in effect"

THE BOXERS READY

Both Agnew and Weday are in ex-
cellent condition for their fifteen round
contest this evening at the Orpheum.
Both have been training consistently,
and there is every reason to believe
that a splendid fight will be put up by
both men. The odds have fluctuated
depending somewhat on the enthusiasm
of hackers, but in general they are 10
to Con Weday whose friends claim that
he is in better shape than he was when
he went up against Agnew the last
time. The referee win be chosen at
the ringside, and win in all probability
be Paddy Ryan, Billy Woods or Jack
Grace.
Soldier Latham and Fireman Moore,
who are matched for ten rounds ought
to give a good account of themselves
also. Tonight's affair promises to be
one of the best entertainments of the
kind ever given in Honolulu.
