NJ. II. Reuter-. This was after a
roast of the Maui police to Baldwin's
discredit by Circuit Judge Kalua.
George r. Carter was discussed for
the Governorship but no action taken.
Many of the native delegates wanted
Governor Dole for another term.

THE LANDING
GAVE WAY
A Dozen Boys Fall Into
Water at HeaIani
House.

During the progress of the canoe
races yesterday afternoon an accident
at the Healani boat club house almost
had tragic end.
The boat house was crowded above
and below and to the music of Solo
mons quintette half a hundred young
people were dancing when cries Of
alarm came from the spectators gath
cred on the lanais. a crash, followed
by spashing and confused noises, came
from the landing stage, where por-
tion had fallen, precipitating ten boys
into the harbor.
The boat house is provided with a
platform and slanting Grated gang
way connects this with the landing
barge. The boys had been standing on
the Grating, and their weight upon one
particular board fastening caused 1t TO
break. The Grating fell into the water
two feet below. Helping hands We're
Immediately extended and the boys

THE MANILA
TRANSPORTS

Army transports will stop at Homo
lulu both coming and going If the de-
sires of Quartermaster General Hum
phrey are carried out Captain Nick.
Williamson, Depot Quartermaster IN
Honolulu, received In yesterdays mail
letter from General Humphrey, which
partially confirmed the cablegram pub
lished in the Advertiser about ten days
ago, to the effect that TRANSPORTS had
been ordered to stop at Honolulu.
General Humphreys letter is not Off
cial, and does not say that the trans
port order has been issued. but simply
that he favors the proposition. provid-
ed always that coal can be purchased in
Honolulu at reasonable price.
The Quartermaster General says that
he is in favor of having TRANSPORTS
stopping in Honolulu coming from the
Philippines, as we'll as enroute to Ma
Mia and approves the idea advanced by
the Merchants Association that Homo
lulu as an American port is entitled to
preference over Nagasaki.
The merchants here would perhaps
prefer to have the homeward bound
transports stop at Honolulu more than
those going to the Philippines. Soldiers
on the transports coming from the
Coast are generally penniless. Soldiers
coming on the transports from the
Philippines are plentifully supplied
with money. They are paid off at Ma
Mia and want to spend their money at
the first American port they strike.
While it has been taken for granted
lately that the transports are to call
at Honolulu. there may be a hitch in
the plan unless the coal bid. submitted
is satisfactory. The last two transports
have been supplied with coal under
the general agreement signed by all
the coal dealers, but the price fixed, is
said to not to be altogether satsfac
tory. C. NJ. Cooke at a Chamber of
Commerce meeting a few days ago
stated that he could put in lower bid,
although but the one bid has so far
been submitted. The bid of the Homo
lulu coal merchants is reported to be
about fifty cents ton higher than the
price at which coal can be purchased
at San Francisco. In addition the
transports are compelled to coal them
selves, while on the Coast the bid is for
coal aboard the vessel. The difference
in favor of San Francisco exceeds ona
dollar per ton and the War Depart-
ment, it is said, does not relish she
prospect of paying so much more for
coal in Honolulu, than either in San
Francisco or Nagasaki.

BAKER FAMILY
FORCIBLY OUSTED

The eviction of David *. Baker and
family from Honaunau school house
near Napoopoo was effected on Sunday
last. Henry Overend, deputy sheriff
of Hilo, and three special officers from
Honolulu aided G.. l.. Kamauoha, depu-
ty sheriff of South Kona, in the busi
ness.
When the evicting party arrived on
Saturday last, September -, the Bak-
ers agreed to leave the house peace
fully next morning. Overend agreed to
this and left the three Honolulu men--
John Weday, c. II. Stone and II. L.
Winslow-with the family. In the
morning the Bakers refused to budge
and the three athletes carried them and
their effects into the road and took pos
session. Mrs. Baker, who had about a
week previous successfully resisted an
effort of the local authorities to turn
the family out, gave the evicters the
most trouble, as she is stout and strong
among women.
David *. Baker, former teacher of
the school, said after the event that he
was disgusted with the whole business
and that they would make no further
attempt to gain possession. Neverthe-
less he came to town in the Mauna Loa
yesterday to place the matter in the
hands of his attorney, C. w. Ashford.
Overend left a policeman in charge,
to be assisted nights by the truant Of

Miss Ella II. Paris. the school agent,
in reporting the facts of the eviction
to superintendent Atkinson writes that
the school house was disreputably dir
ty in every portion and that some Of
the school property could not be found.
When the steamer left the Stars and
Stripes was floating over the school
house and there was good attendance
of pupils.

I'VE sometimes smile at the Buddhist

says The Independent, but much more
serious is a mission to be sent from

now American. The Japanese Chris

that, yourself?' he replied in scotch
fashion to the Interrogation Of whether
the fire created draft.
The jury were excused about j p. M
while counsel argued the law points
briefly at the conclusion of evidence In
rebuttal put on by the defendant. On
the jury's return Judge De Bolt, in a
few words, directed them to find YER
dict for the plaintiff on the ground that
the property in question was destroyed
by fire started outside of the bounds
of the block that was condemned by
the resolution of the Board of Health
in evidence. This fact the court
pointed out took the loss out of the
clause in the policy which made the in
surance company not liable for losses
arising from the acts of the public
authorities.
Mr.. Robertson. when the verdict was
rendered noted exceptions on the
ground that 1t was contrary to the law
and the evidence and gave notice of
motion for a new trial. This proceed
ure will take the case to the Supreme
Court for determination.
Should the point raised by the plain
tiff be upheld. Mr.. Robertson stated
after the trial, 1t would be decisive
against the insurance companies in all
other pending cases based on the great
fire of January 90 1900
There are only two or, three other
cases in this category remaining on
the calendar. A large number of the
original cases were settled when 1t was
judicially determined that the saving
clause in question was valid to protect
the companies from payment of losses
by fire originating under orders of the
Board of Health.
1t is the opinion of some lawyers that
the old cases may be reopened on the
strength of newly discovered evidence.

The foregoing is the verdict directed

signifies a complete turning OF the
bles against the insurance compah-
les in the Chinatown cases, provided IL
be upheld by the supreme Court on
the exceptions of defendant which were
taken.
This sensational change in the posi-
ton of the Chinatown insurance cases
was produced by evidence of facts not
heretofore presented. Only last Tues
day another jury rendered a verdict
directed by Judge De Bolt in favor OF
defendant in the suit of w. W. Ahana
vs. Insurance Company of North Amer
lea, on the ground that the loss was
caused by n fire originating from the
burning of block 0 in Chinatown under
an order of the Board of Health reg

In the Kwong Lee Yuen case, how
ever. proof was adduced for the irst
time that the fire of January 20. 1900
was started by the fire department out

Board of Health which the defense pro-

the insured property was ignited by
brands from burning steeple of Kau-

caught fire from the buildings outside
of the condemned block to which the
torch was originally applied
Up 20 the raising of this point the le-

THE CUSTOMS
CONFERENCE

The san Francisco Call publishes a
story of the conference between Col
lector Stackable and Assistant Sec.e-
tary Armstrong in which it charges
| Stackable with being responsible for
the original order. AS a matter Of
fact the local collector had nothing
to do with the baggage order, and
was the first to protest to Washington
against its enforcement.
| The Call also says:
| Not only have passengers been an
noyed by the examination Of baggag
at Honolulu, but in many instances
their lives have been imperiled.
Collector Stackable, after boarding
steamships at Honolulu destined for
san Francisco, has examined the bag
gage and effects of passengers and
then placed the customs seals on all
trunks and packages. The property
of the passengers was removed from
their custody and not given back to
them, until after their arrival at the
dock in this city.
Unable to secure their belongings,
men and women and delicate children
have been compelled to travel in thin
clothing from the tropics to the lower
temperature of the Pacific Coast, and
many instances are on record where
serious complications have ensued.
In addition to the inconvenience to
incoming passengers. the local GUS
toms officials have been beset with
many difficulties Instances are
known whore baggage containing du-
TABLE articles was passed by the in
spectors at Honolulu, and when a de-
mand was made at San Francisco for
| the amount of duty the owners of the
goods would present certificates of eX-
animation and permits to land the
articles, free of duty, issued at Homo
lulu. Collector Stratton of the port
of San Francisco has sent a number
of communications to Secretary of the
Treasury Shaw drawing the attention
of the Washington official to the exist
| ing condition of affairs.
The customs officials of San Fran
cisco feel that they have not bern
treated with proper consideration IN
the issuance of the order which gives
Collector Stackable of Honolulu the
authority to examine and pass upon
articles and personal effects astined
TO be landed in San Francisco from the
/ Orient While no reflections are cast
upon the customs officials stationed In
the Hawaiian Islands the officials in

been opened to gross frauds upon the

CAUGHT A SHIP
ON A SURF BOARD

Speaking about Hawaiians as sail
ors, did you ever hear the story of the
native boy who overlook a ship on a
surf board?" questioned Captain U. S.
q. White at the Naval Station the 9TH
er day. The story was told to me
some time ago, and bears out the opin-
ion that l have always had that the
Hawaiian makes good sailor.
"lt was told to me about this way. y
native boy, who was also an eXpert
SURF board rider, shipped on an Ameri-
can ship bound for Japan or China,
some years ago. The vessel was lum-
ber laden, also carrying a deck load.
y gale blew up and the native boy was
washed overheard. Some of the lum-
ber on the deck was washed away by
the same wave and the boy managed to
get hold of board. Utilizing his
knowledge of surf board riding, which
he had gained in the islands, the sailor
caught the next big wave and rode on
the crest of it oVertaking the vessel,
catching hold of n rope hanging from
the side and clamberng aboard again,
almost before the ships officers knew
he had been lost overheard, and before
they had time to lower a boat for his
rescue. 1t might have been impossible
to lower boat because of the gale, but
anyway the boy saved them the trou-
BILE of doing this.
Il don't think the story is at all i'm
probable, when YOU see what feats the
natives can perform with the surf
boards here. The vessel was going
right in the teeth of the gale, and IT
was natural that the waves should be
swept right by her. So it would not
have been such a difficult matter for
an experienced surf board rider to over
take vessel of that kind. don't be-
lleve such a thing TO be impossible by
any means"
