SUGAR INDUSTRY

+. ID. Middlekauf a wealthy citizen
of Chicago, is in the city with his fam
lily on tour of the world. He is in
terested in Mexican sugar planta-
ton and while here intends to study
our modern methods of cultivation and
grinding which may later be put to
use by the Mexican company of which
Mr.. Middlekauf is n director.
I'VE are on a tour of the world, my
wife, son and daughter and myself,
which Will extend over two years. My
two children will stop when we reach
Berlin where they are to attend
school. We will visit Japan, China,
the Philippines, Egypt, Germany and
Italy.
Yes. I will visit the sugar planta-
tons in Hawaii and look into methods
and machinery. / am Interested in a
large sugar plantation in Mexico; your
island which is SO prominent in the
sugar industry is naturally the place
where ones eyes are turned to find the
best methods of cultivation and mod
ern machinery and of extracting the
sugar from the cane. l intend to visit
the plantations on this island before
we leave.
I'VE will be gone two years on our
tour OF the world. In Chicago every
thing appears prosperous. The labor
troubles were practically settled when
we left about six weeks ago."
The Middlekaufs expect to leave on

CHINESE BRIBER
WANTS NEW TRIAL

Tong Kai, the Chinese who was sent
to prison for eighteen months for at
tempting to bride Deputy Attorney
General Peters to permit a gambling
hui to run pakapio games, yesterday
sued out a writ of error in the Supreme
Court. Error in the trial before Judge
De Bolt is alleged on many points. In
brief these are as follows:
"a 1t does not appear how many
grand jurors gave their consideration
to the indicting of the plaintiff in error,
that is, that there We're not more than
twenty-three, nor less than twelve.
(2) 1t does not appear that said
grand jurors were good and lawful
men" of the First Judicial Circuit of
the Territory of Hawaii.
(3) With the exception of the fore
man, it does not appear how many
grand jurors found true bill against
the plaintiff in error, that is, that not
less than twelve so found.
The fourth error relates to the in
sstructions to the grand jury.
(5) There was no evidence presented
to the trial court that the plaintiff in
error corruptly promises an executive
officer of the Territory of Hawaii sum
ol money u lluutHCe Ills dCtS.
(6) The only relevant evidence pre-
scented to the trial jury against the
plaintiff was the uncorroborated evil
dence of a confessed accomplice, then
under indictment for the same offense.
% The trial court refused to allow
an examination of All Kun as to his
qualifications as witness.
(S) The trial juror was allowed to
consider the testimony of a confessed
perjurer, All Kun.
Errors are also pointed out in the ad-
mission of evidence and in the instruc-
lions of Judge De Bolt to the trial jury.
WINAM SUED.
Suit has been brought by the Oriental
Life Insurance Co. against Winam for
the sum of $2165 alleged to be due on

NATIONAL
CONVENTION
Republicans Of Hawaii
Not Likely to Have
Six Delegates.

Senator C. l.. Crabbe, chairman Of
the Republican Territorial Executive
Committee. some time ago wrote to
Senator Mark Hanna, chairman of the
Republican National Committee, in
curing as to the probable representa-
ton OF Hawaii at the National Con-
vention of 1904. The occasion was an
idea that had become current here to
the effect that Hawaii would have six
delegates under reapportionment in
stead of two as heretofore.
G. X. auckland wrote on the same
subject about the same time as Mr..
Crabbe, but to Elmer Dover, secretary
to Senator Hanna, and by last mail
n reply from Mr.. Dover was received.
1t mentions the receipt of Mr.. Crabbe's
letter in Senator Hanna's mail and
then has the following to say on the
question propounded:
The Senator Is away on his sum.

return. which I fear may be too late

that / can tell you about what he
would say. The number of delegates
from Hawaii to the next National
Convention will not be fixed until the
National Committee meets and issues
call for the Convention. This would
be next December or January. 1 do
not believe. however, that there will
be any change in the apportionment
of the last Convention. OF course no
one can tell positively, as the subject
will undoubtedly be one for discussion
when the Committee meets"

BECHTEL WILL Re
IMMIGRATION MAN

The cable advices which arrived here
several days ago stating that F. NJ.
Bechtel was coming to Honolulu to
take charge of immigration matters
seem to have been correct, although
it was thought at first that he was
simply stenographer for the local
station But mail advices received on
the Nippon Maru indicate that Bechtel
will have entire charge of immigration
matters here, superseding j. X. Brown
the present local immigration commits
sioner.
He has formerly been stationed at
Washington, and in Jun, received or
ders from Commissioner General of
immigration Sargent dett ching him
from duty at Washington, and ordering
him to Honolulu to take complete
charge of immigration matters and to
make use Of the subordinate officers
here. The transfer of Mr. Bechtel has
been approved by Secretary OF Com
merce cortelyou. From these facts 1t
louns as though new office has been
created here, and the new man not
only supersedes ]. X. Brown, but takes
immigration affairs out of the hands
of the Collector of the Port, under
whose charge immigration affairs have
been in the past.

THE WOMAN
BADLY LEFT
tier Pseudo Next
Friend Goes
to China.

Lai Chez Hing ran away in the
steamer Nippon Maru for China on
Friday. He left the woman Jung Hing.
whom by habeas corpus he had taken
from the man claiming to be her hus-
band, to fight alone habeas corpus pro-
ceedings against herself by the depriv-
ed man for the custody of two babies
still on the bottle. The absconding pro-
tector, who was also the claiming be-
trothed, of the woman did not even
provide for her expenses as respondent
in court.
Mr.. Douthitt, Notwithstanding, ap-
peared for the woman yesterday morn
ing when Warden Henry, her tempo
rary guardian, sent her before Judge
Gear with her babies and their vener-
able nurse. Counsel for the respondent
asked for a continuance of the return
day until next Wednesday.
Mr.. Humphreys for the purported
husband, Jue Gun or Chu Gin, said he
had no objections to continuance so
that the respondent might have time
to obtain a new amicus curia." Mr.
Douthitt smiled at this reference to
the recently developed gratuitous ma
ture of his services in the case.
Judge Gear continued the return day
until Friday next the order for the
custody of the woman and children as
witnesses remaining in force. They
are therefore still boarders at the Ter
ritorial prison.
Dame Jung Hing looked several de-
grees less happy than she did the other
day when she was comforted by the at
tendance of her lover in court.
