A Disappointed Rooster.

"Once we had rooster here that, I
regret to say. gentlemen, was a con-
firmed inebriate.
How did he acquire the liquor for
his intOXication? Simple enough. Al
most any bird. and particularly a
rooster with sporting proclivities, un-

liquor is produced. Sometimes they
hasten it by the addition of a little
sugar or fruit which has passed its

Complaint is made because a man
who was suffering with acute alcohol
ism was given a sentence OF ten days
in jail in the city court. Well, it is
hardly fair TO expect policemen to dis
tinguish between acute alcoholism and
plain inebriation. Some doctors can't
tell the difference.

NOW OVER
Particulars of the
Deal With
Navy.
The Plantation Secures
$4,000 in
Cash
And Is Allowed to Occupy the
Land Until Nay.
1909.

Captain Rodman received word yes
terday from Admiral Bradford, the
Chief of the Bureau of Navigation,
| that the compromise between the Ho-
| nolulu Plantation Company and The
| Navy Department had been accepted
The matters in dispute were settled
| according to the terms which were
San Francisco recently. between Ad-
miral Bradford and Attorneys SilIi-
man and Hatch for the Plantation
Only the ratification of the Navy De-
partment was needed and this has now
been had.
There are eleven conditions in the
compromise. The Honolulu Plantation
obtained judgment for sos, 500 for a
thirty year leasehold on 561.2 acres at
Pearl Harbor, but according to the
compromise the plantation company
receives $4,000 in cash and is allowed
to retain possession of land now plant
ed in cane until May 1. 1909. Buildings
belonging to the plantation are to he
agents are to go upon the land save
for agricultural purposes, ana that on
ly during the working hours. The
Navy Department however retains the
right to take possession of any part
of the land that may be required by
an emergency. Title to the land is to
be vested in the government and judg-
ment must accordingly be entered.
The government also retains the ex-
elusive right TO all water from wells
on the land, but the surplus not used
by the government may be used by the
plantation.
Admiral Bradford while in the West
selected the sites for several naval
stations other than Honolulu and as
with the one here, it seems that he
has been having some trouble in ac-
curing land where it was needed. The
San Francisco Chronicle has the follow
ing to say concerning Admiral Brad
ford's trip to the PaciEc Coast, and
also touches upon the Honolulu mat
ter then unsettled.
While in San Francisco. he made an
effort to acquire title to Mission rock,
San Francisco bay, the place being
desired for calling station. The own
ers of the tide land around the rock
asked a higher price than they origi-
nally named and gave no evidence of
acceptance of the Governments views
of it's value. Rear Admiral Brad
ford will recommend that negotia-
tions for Mission rock be dropped
and that another site be selected
on California City point, opposite
Angel island. Admiral Bradford
also selected site for wire
less telegraph station on Point Bonita.
Another matter engaging his atten-
ton related to the acquisition CT a
coaling station at Pearl harbor, III the
Hawaiian Islands. One owner of part
of the proposed site, a Honolulu
planter. has been loath to come to the
Governments terms, and it took three
suits in the civil courts and the threat
of a fourth before representatives of a
the company would make what the
department regarded as a fair proDo-
sition. This was obtained by Admiral
Ere dford while he was in San Fran
cisco and he has brought it back to
the Navy Department with an in
dorsement recommending its accept
ance. 1t is probable the deal will now
90 through.

The court wouldn't permit the last
question. saying that had nothing to

Major Riley testified that he had ex-
cused some one just before dark on
the 18th, but didn't recognize the &C
cused.
Col. Ziegler asked that Col. Jones be
called as witness but Sergeant Miller
objected, saying that he had preferred
the charges and couldn't testify
against him. The objection was sus-
tanned.
'T am willing to submit the case on
the evidence the accused said, 'Mel-
in says he didn't See me. and Santos
says he did. Melin says he detailed
me to duty in the kitchen and Santos
says he did it. The charges say was

Miller then began to answer questions
put by the judge advocate and presi-
turned out with the camp but had the
breakbone and was excused by Lieut..
Santos and no specific time had been
mentioned for his return. He said he
had found it impossible to find the
doctor.
