WILL Be TOWED
FROM COAST

The Union Oil Company will soon be
doing business to this port, on a very
big scale. The barkentine Fullerton is
due in San Francisco from this port to
load $4,000 barrels of oil for Honolulu
When the Fullerton comes down on her
next trip, she will come in quite a
novel way. She will be towed.
The Union Oil Company has just put
into commission, a new steamer
named the Whittier. This vessel has a
capacity of 1000 barrels. She will
bring that amount Of cargo for Homo
lulu when she tows the Fullerton.
The Whittier was launched on April
IA and was given d trial trip to Ven
tura, She was built by the Union
Iron Works. The vessel was highly
satisfactory on her initial trip. The
vessels will start ma very few days af-
ter the Fullerton arrives and loads for
Honolulu.
In addition to the Whittier. the Gem
pany is putting into commission a
steamer known as the Argyle. This
vessel will have a capacity of 10000
barrels of oil. She will also be put on
the Honolulu run. third steamer is
being negotiated for in the east.

THE IROQUOIS TO CO TO MIDWAY
A CABLE FROM THE NAVY DEPARTMENT RECEIVED
THIS MORNING WHICH Is TAKEN AS INDICATING
SHE MAY BE SENT IN HASTE TO THAT LONELY SPOT
WHERE THE HANALEI NOW IS.

The L. S. ;. lroquois Is to go to Mid
way Islands. Practical orders to this
effect were received this morning by
Captain Rodman, the commander of
the. vessel. Actual orders for the ves-
sci to go to Midway were not received
this morning, but it seems question
of a few hours, before such orders are
received from the Navy Department.
The cable communication receivHi
this morning by Captain Rodman was
as follows:
Washington, April 3Oth, 1908.
ITO Naval Station, Honolulu.
Provided Iroquois has the officers
how soon can she proceed to Midway
Island? Urgent.
DARLING"
This cablegram was signed by Oar
ling, the Assistant Secretary of the
Navy who, in the absence of Secretary
Long, is acting Secretary. While nc
explanation of the urgent business
which demanded the presence of the
Iroquois at Midway was given in the
cablegram, the trip of the vessel is
thought to be in connection with the
laying of the Pacific cable for the Com
mercial Cable Company.
Captain Rodman sent the following
reply Immediately on receipt of the ca
blegram from the Navy Department:
Ready to proceed Midway Islands at
| once. Can go without officers if neces
saTy.
"RODMAN."
Just what line of work will be requir-
ed of the Groquois is not clear. Whsn
she was first placed at the disposal of
the cable company by the Navy De-
partment, it was with the understand
ing that she would stand by and assist
in every reasonable way the landing of
the cable at Midway. 1t was thought
probable that the services of Captain
Rodman would be desired to run a line
of buoys into IWelles Harbor, the la-
goon inside of the coral reef, and fur
ther to take bearings and other obser-
vations for the cable experts on the
cable ship. The Anglia which will prob
ably be the cable vessel to go to Mid
way with the shore section of cable is
much too big to venture very close to
the reef and the presence of a smaller

The witness was given "a choice of
going free said District Attorney
Breckons, 'Tbut asked us to confine him
in the jail. He appears to be a good
sort and we asked him why he wanted
to stay in prison. He said that he was
AFRAID to be at liberty, fearing some
thing would happen to him at the
hands of the men who are behind the
Japanese business of importing women
for lwilei. 1t is common report among
the japanese, according to this wit
ness, that there is an organiza ton of
men in the business, who keep up a
fund to Tight cases like that of Hirota."
In Hirota's case, it will be remember
ed, the evidence showed that he had
divorced one wife who was becoming
advanced in years, after forcing her to
live life Of shame, and had married a
girl under fifteen years of age, in jap
an, Immediately placing her in a no.
tOrious house in IWilei. The girl will
be sent back to her home. AS she was
unlaWfully brought into the country,
the government will deport her, and
her stay in Hawaii will have lasted on
ly few months of slavery. She will
have a tale to tell when she reaches
her Oriental home again.
The next case to be tried is that of a
japanese who Is accused of having
brought his sister into the country and
given her the same treatment as was
accorded the child-wife. of Hirota.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1903-04-30

craft like the Iroquois. will beyond any
doubt, be an actual necessity.
Some time ago IL was announced un-
officially that the IrOuuois would prob
ably not be required in connection with
the Midway work In view of the ca
blegram received today this report
appears to have been in error. The
cable people have no doubt applied for
the services Of the Iroquois and the
Navy Department is about to issue or
ders for her to proceed at once to Mid
way.
There is also probability that the
vessel is being sent out by the Depart
ment for the purpose of having Cap
tain Rodman look after the interests of
the United States at Midway. 1t Is
necessary that there should be some
one at Midway to look after the in
terests of the government, so Captain
Rodman will probably be ordered to
supervise the selection of sites for the
buildings, cable landings, asd other
details, incidental to the establishment
of the cable station on Midway.
1t is not thought that there is likely
to be any trouble over Japanese or 9TH
ers being on Midway, and the presence
OF the naval vessels is, in all likelihood
demanded in connection with the land
ing of the cable.
Captain Rodman had not been advis-
ed by noon today regarding the sailing
of the Iroquois. 1t will require about
five or six days in which to equip the
Iroquois for her cruise to Midway so
that she will be ready to proceed on
her way next week. Captain Rodfnan
will have the crew proceed Immediately
TO get the vessel into deep sea going
shape, should a cablegram Offering
him to proceed to Midway be received.
1t is thought highly probable that some
orders will be received either this af-
ternoon or by tomorrow morning.
Should the Navy Department give
Captain Rodman more officers, the ves-
sci will not sail for at least a week or
so, as the officers win have to come
from the Coast to Honolulu to join the
lroquois. 'At pinch the Iroquois might
go out to Midway at once and the ad-
ditional officers might be landed at
Midway from one of the mail liners, as
most of them pass within a compara-
lively short distance of Midway.
