Schunan Buys Up
Stock Of a

Herrick Company Will
Be Absorbed or
Liquidated.
Majority Of the Stock Changes
Hands and Details Will Be
Settled Soon.

The control of the C. F. Herrick Car
riage Company. which has been a fac
tor in the trade in vehicles in Homo
lulu for three years. passed yesterday to
Gus Schuman. This was accomplished
by the purchase of about sixty per cent
of the stock for him by the Waterhouse
Trust Company, at figures which, while
borhood of fifty cents on the dollar.
The stock of the Herrick Company is
Sic. .Oe0, of which s1S.5O0 has been paid
in. There is an authorized issue of $10.-
600 additional which has not been taken
out as vet, though there was a time
yesterdayFwhen it seemed probable that
in the struggle for the control there
would be issue and a taking up of the
shares. but this was obviated when a
deal was made taking care of the prin-
cipal members of the minority of the
stock.
1t is understood that President Isen-
berg of the Herrick Company. will re-
main with the company until it has
been decided what is to be done as to
the future, and in the event that there
is to be a consolidation of the two con-
Germs will continue with the Schuman
corporation. Other stockholders are IN
in the event of a decision to combine
the corporations, they will remain as
stockholders rather than to sell their
stock at the discount.
Herrick corporation has been called for
Saturday morning for the purpose of
seeing what is to be done in the mat
ter and at that time there will be a
decision whether or not the corporation
will merge itself into the Schuman
or viii proceed to liquidation.
In the event of the latter decision the
stock will be sold and the affairs wound
up as quickly as possible. There are
said to be outstanding several notes of
the company, which have been endorsed
by President Isenbers, and arrange
ments have been made to take care of
these bills, so that there is nothing in
the way of a complete settlement of the |
affairs of the corporation.

Brutal Highway Rob-
berry in MoanaIua
Valley.
Three Negroes Brought in and
Not One OF Them Had
Even a Nickel.

There is good reason to believe that
the police have at last got to end of
mitting depredations of all sorts in Ho-
nolulu for several months past Yester-
day Deputy Sheriff Chillingworth came
in possession of information that led to
the issuance of a warrant for the arrest
| of Archie Williams. a negro who was
arrested some time ago on suspicion of
being the ''la4 short man." and of a
second negro. on charge of highway
robbery committed on the person of a
night of March End. 1t is. alleged that
Williams and his pal, who is unknown
as to his real name but who is called
Brady Clemons, chartered a hack and
went down into the Moanalua country
on sort OF foraging expedition. The
Chinese, whose name is not known to
the police, was out on the road with
lantern when the hack ran him down.
and the two negroes leaped out of it,.
Selling the lantern, one of the thugs
beat the Chinese about the head with
it so severely that his friends fear a
serious result from the injuries infiict-
ed. This was done, apparently, in mere
wantonness. for the Chinese had offered
no resistance.
Then they relieved him of several dol
lars in change, and left him in the road,
bleeding and unconscious. He stagger-
ed to his feet. after a time, and went
on to his own house, where medical aid
was called, and the next day the police
were notified.
Upon this showing of facts. the war
rant was issued for Williams and the
man known as Clemons. The Deputy
Sheriff, however. received information
that there was a third man in the gang,
a white man, hitherto unknown to the
police in this connection, and the Off
GERS were told further that the trio had
planned a raid for last night, out in the
Waikiki country. As it was desired to
capture the entire crowd at once. if
possible, Chnlingworth. with Detectives
Renear and McDuffy, went out last
night and captured Williams, Clemons,
and Charles Russell all negroes. in a
room in Palama. They were taken to
the Police Station and on being search /
ed before being put in the cells it was
found that Russell did not have either
money or other belongings on his per-
son. williams had a few shirt buttons |
in his pocket but no coin, and Clemons |
only property was a mouth organ"
