THE ASSETS SEEM
TO Be MIXED
w f. RAwLINs, REFEREE IN
BANKRUPTCY MAKES INTER-
EsTGNG REPORT ON THE CASE.

w F. Rawlins. referee in bankruptcy
this morning made a report to Judge
Estee in which he accused NJ G.. Silva,
the alleged bankrupt, of deliberate per-
jury, in connection with his schedule of
assets and liabilities. Rawlins found
many inaccuracies and a wholesale
stufhng of assets. He calls attention
to the fact that in the schedule the as
sets are placed at 56,S29.9O and the
liabilities at S23,2575O and says:
IF this statement can be taken as
true then NJ. G. Silva is not bankrupt
and he came before this Honorable
Court and committed wilful and deli
berate perjury by stating under oath
that he was a bankrupt and unable to
pay his debts AS shown by schedule
his assets exceed his liabilities in the
sum of $33,572.53. This appears to be
an alarming state of affairs for per-
son who claims he is a bankrupt, but a
very little figuring will show that this
great difference between the assets
and liabilities is due to an overvalua-
ton and putting on the part of the
bankrupt of the value of his estate, and
that Nhe assets are worth about one
half the amount given by him"
Land on Wilder avenue is valued at
$4,000 though it's tax return value was
OlllS poiVuV anu lne same was uOle, says
Rawlins, with other real estate. a
life policy was returned at $1,000 though
it is not worth $500 and notes put down
at $5,603 are worth absolutely nothing"
Regarding loans made by Silva the
report says: I'm most cases the mort
gagees are innocent Portuguese, who
have been induced by the bankrupt to
lend him their money, trusting to his
honesty and integrity they loaned
money to him only to find in the end
that false representations had been
made to them"
Silva is alleged to have sworn falsely
regarding his Beretania street grocery
store, the referee finding as follows:
In regard to this particular grocery
store it is to be noticed that nearly
$l4OO worth of liquor was sold there
during the months of June and July,
1902. The bankrupt declared that the
store belonged to one Leonard Nunes
and that he was employed there. This
was denied by Nunes, who declared
that Silva owned the store and that he
worked for him. The lease of the pre-
misses was introduced in the evidence
and revealed the fact that Silva was
the Lessee. In this instance the bank
rupt swore to a deliberate falsehood."
On the showing in the report Judge
IGstee made an order as asked for by
the referee, directing Silva to file new
schedules within five days.

A JAPANESE QUARREL.

About ten days ago, two Japanese
had a bloody encounter in a Vineyard
Street resort in which one of them
received such a deep cash on his head
that his life was feared for at one
time. Now we hear of their patching
troubles out of the court. A question
that has not been answered to our sat

has come out in this affair in the way
of dealing out justice to these breakers
of law.-Hawaii Shinpo.

Elleford Company Announces New
Bill for Tonight.

OH LOT OilSHl.
With a plot of intense heart interest
and scenes laid in Russia and France.
A Wife's Honor, to be presented at the
Orpheum this evening, is one of the
strongest bills of the Elleford roper
toire. The plot is furnished by the dis
honesty, perjury and falseness of a
man left as guardian of the es-
tates of a baron's wife and child. This
villain has previously estranged the
husband and wife and now attempts
the dishonor of the baroness, driving
that unhappy lady to suicide to es-
cape her threatened shame
Virtue is triumphant at the last after
many vicissitudes. and villainy- sinks
beneath the weight of accumulated
vengence but the working out of the
story is of intense interest. There is,
too genuine mirth in the play despite
the more sombre nature of some of the
passages. Baby Maitland Is announced
to hold a reception matinee on Satur-
day afternoon, when she will receive
on the stage.
