AN OLD TIMER
PASSES AWAY

Frederick j. Hills, an old resident of
the Islands, and proprietor Of the Ha-
waiian Soda Water Works, died at one
o'clock this morning. FMr. Hills was
very well known in Honolulu. His
death is due to to old age, he being
eighty-one years old. He leaves a
wife and three sons here. Mr.. Hills
was an Englishman and in his earlier
years was in the British army being
one of the many soldiers who fought
in the Maori wars in New Zealand.

tary to the Governor, and including
Secretary of the Territory.
Chairman Crabbe declined to give
out the result of the committees ac-
ton and Governor Carter had not
opened the letter sent to him last night.
''I shall not open the communication
from the Territorial committee until
after I have been inaugurated," said
Mr.. Carter last night. "Then I will
take up the recommendations Of the
committee and consider the matter of
making appointments. 1 have asked
the committee to send in names for the
heads of all departments. If the rec
ommeuda tions made are not in accord
ance with my own ideas and the re-
sponsibilities of the offices which are
to be filled, T shall ask for confer
ence with the committee. I consider
it essential to good government to
work in harmony with the Republican
party
THE INAUGURAL BALL.
The plans for an inaugural ball are
still in an indefinite state. The
trouble at present is that the fund for
state entertainments is down to about
$500, while the ball would cost double
that amount. The balance may be
made up by subscription among the
business men. If the ball is not held
at this time, New Years ball will
probably be given as the new appro-
priaticn will then be available.
The Government band will play pre-
ceding the inaugural this morning.
Officers of the general staff will also
attend.
The following order was issued yes

DEFAUL TING POSTMASTER
BROUGHT To- HONOLULU
Senator BaIdwn's Assistant in Maui postoffce
indicted for a Shortage of Over
Eight Hundred Dollars.

Manuel C.. Ross. assistant postmaster
at Puunene, Maui, is in Oahu prison on
charge of embezzling between eight
and nine hundred dollars Of postal
monies. Ross was indicted by the
Federal grand jury last week and Uni
ted States Marshal Hendry arrested
the defaulting postmaster at Wailuku
and brought him to Honolulu on the
Kinau Saturday morning.
Ross's peculations have been going
on for some time. The discovery of
the shortage was made by Postofice
Inspector Bricker in October and the
indictment followed at the present term
of court. Ross is said to have con-
fessed his guilt and he is expected to
plead guilty when brought before
Judge Dole in the Federal court this
morning.
H. P. Baldwin is the postmaster at
Puunene and Ross practically had
charge of the postoffice, receiving a
very good salary as assistant. For
this reason it is hard to understand the
causes which led him to make use OF
funds belonging to the United States
government. The entire shortage in
Ross account is sS37, which is the
amount he is alleged in the indict-
ments to have embezzled. There are
two counts to the Indictment, one
charging him with the theft of about
$500 from the money order depart
ment, while the other count alleges
embezzlement from postage stamp
sales. The thieving is said to have
been going on since last February and
to have continued up to the last of
October. When the postoffice inspec-
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1903-11-23

tor checked up the accounts Of the
Puunene postoffice in October he dis
covered shortage of between eight
and nine hundred dollars. The most
of the money was shown to have been
missing from receipts on the sale of
money orders. Ross was taxed with
the crime and is said to have admitted
the shortage. The money was taken
in small amounts at various periods
from February 1st to October 31st,
1893.
the shortage Senator Baldwin, as post
master, discharged his assistant. Puu-
meme is a fourth class postoffice and
the clerks are not under civil service
rules. Mr. Baldwin, who was Ross
bondsman, also made good the amount
of the shortage and the money was
forwarded to Washington.
The indictment against Ross was
found by the Federal grand jury now
III StoslOn III Ills CITY ana the warrant
was placed in the hands of United
States Marshal E. R. Hendry on
Wednesday. Mr.. Hendry went to
Maui on the Niihau and arrested Ross
at Wailuku, then drove overland to
Lahaina, taking the Kinau for Honolu-
lu with ais prisoner on Saturday
morning.
Ross is young man of Portuguese
and Hawaiian parentage and has al
ways borne a good reputation at Puu-
meme, where he was born. He is said
to have admitted the shortage and will
take chances of leniency by pleading
guilty and throwing himself upon the
mercy of the court Ross was taken
to Oahu prison Immediately upon his
arrival Saturday and will be brought
into court this morning to plead to the
indictment against him.

The cabled Associated Press news
that the Battleship and Cruiser squad
ron of the American fleet in Asiatic
waters is to come to Honolulu for
two weeks stay, so that the fleet may
be in readiness to quickly respond to
orders sending it to Panama If neces-
sary, has aroused much interest among
officers of the lavy stationed here, al
though no official advices have been
sceived from Washington by Admiral
Terry.
The presence of such a great fleet
off the port of Honolulu will give the
Islands a warlike aspect. AS the
channel and harbor are of sufficient
depth for the heaviest battleship the
docks will probably be utilized.
No dispatches have been received at
the Naval Station as yet regarding the
coming of the squadron, but in any
event the Station is prepared to meet
almost any demands for supplies, ex--
cept, of course, ammunition.
Counting on the presence of three
battleships and seven cruisers a large
amount of coal will be required. Cap
tain Rodnan figures that at the maxi
mum each battleship would not re-
ouire more than 800 tons, or at the
most in round numbers. three thousand
tons. Each cruiser requiring 500 tons
at the maximum would call for $500
tons. or $500 tons all told. for the en-
tire squadron. The Naval Station has
more than $4,000 tons of coal on hand.
During the coaIing period the three
battleships could be accommodated
with a dock at the same time, and the
Bishop and Pacific Mail wharves could
also be utilized. so that coaling could
be done rapidly.
y sIt is not believed that the two squad
&a bns will attempt to remain together.
II Is thought that each vessel will be
given liberty to make its own average
epeed, independent of the other vessels
OF the fleet.
The Manila Cablenews, in recent
issue says of the fleet coming here:
EN- the opinion of a British naval Off
Ger, who has just concluded visit
10 Manila, the naval force of the Uni
ted States in Chinese waters is strong
enough to blow anything and every
thing of the face of the earth.
Discussing this great gathering OF
floating forts, with a friend here, the
officer said:
1.-the United States is making the
most wonderful naval demonstration
that has ever been attempted by any
nation in Oriental waters
This statement, coming as it does
from 4 Britisher, seems significant o.
the intentions of the United States IN
case of war between Russia and Ja-
pan"
All eyes are now directed towards
Port Arthur where naval battle pc
tween those powers seems imminent.
Such an event would. OF course, be
the beginning of a great war. which
would bring the Philippines into close
relations with the great feet under
Admiral Evans. These Islands would
be the United States base of supplies
and consequently war would bring
ABOUT great activity here.
