Company vs.. the Honolulu Rapid Tran

the United States Supreme Court, has
been postponed by stipulation between
j. j. Dunno and Kinney, Ballou & Nc
Clanahan to the May term of court
The case was originally on the calen-
dar for the last October term. but it
was postponed as negotiations between
the companies were started for a set
tlement. 1t was again placed on the
calendar for next month, but the pa
pers have now gone forward providing
for another postponement, and the case
will probably never be tried.

VENTURA LOST
TANNING ISLAND
STRONG CURRENT
SET VESSEL EASTWARD OF ISL
AND-PI.ACE FINALLY REACHED

The ). S. Ventura which arrived late
this morning from the south had a
very eventful thing happen on the way
to this port from the Colonies and Pago
Pago. She lost Tanning island Peo-
pie on the ship probably began 70 fear
that the island had suddenly dropped
into The bottom of the sea for ii was
several hours before the island could be
located Finally Captain Hayward
picked the place up and when ne did
it was to find that the weather was so
rough that ne could not make the usual
landing by the cable house but would
have to go to the British landing.
The cause of the island being lost
was a very strong easterly current that
set the vessel out of her course. The
Ventura was due at Fannilg island last
Saturday Captain Hayward had the
vessel steered so as to pick up Tanning
island early in the morning. When
the time for picking up the island ar
rived there was no island to pick up.
1t had apparently vanished.
Captain Hayward figured that per-
haps with the current setting as it
had done, he island should lie to the
eastward. The vessel was put about
and ran foc about an hour to the east
ward. Finally it became evident that
the ship was going the wrong way so
her course was changed and she was
put about to an entirely different course
going to the westward. Several hours
were lost steaming about before the
island was sighted.
After the island was made the full
force of the easterly current was ap-
preciated. The current was setting to
the eastward like mill race and it
was not surprising that it had carried
the Ventura SC far out of her course,
Such a current is very unusual in that
section. king" Greig said that the
weather that had been prevailing about
the island was the worst that he had
seen since IN a life times residence on
Tanning. With the exception of en-
countering this current off Tanning
Island the trip of the Ventura to this
port was otherwise uneventful. She

A LARGE PARTY
COME BY THE
Gaelic
One Hundred And Two Sub
jeCtS of the Hermit Kingdom
Reach Here to Try Their Luck
at Plantation Labor,

possible solution of the problem for
labor on the plantations arrived this
morning on the S. S. Gaelic The $50
luton" came in the shape of party of
102 Korean immigrants for these ISL
ands. Aside from the possibility Of
Korea being a source of supply for la
Dor, the advent of the party was of
special interest for the reason that they
were the first large party of immigrants
to ever leave Korea for the western
hemisphere.
In the party were 21 women 25 chill
dren and the rest able bodied men. The
party boarded the Gaelic at Nagasak,
having come from Korea. The present
immigration of KOreas in such extern
sive numbers is entirely experimental.
The party come to Honolulu to seek
employment. If any work is to be had
they will probably remain. The emil
grafton of Koreans is probably due to
the effects of the recent terriblea fam
ines that caused such misery and suf-
fering in Korea. The population of an
entire district died from the effects of
famine and for days hundreds of corp
ses remained unbured. Populous vii
lagos were reduced to charnal places.
The misery of the people probably led
the various members of the present
party to seek their fortunes in some
existence was not accompanied by such
terrible disasters. The Japanese have
extensive interests and exercise much
influence in Korea, and the attention
of the Koreans was no doubt directed
to the possibilities of Hawaii by the
Japanese.
The Koreans should do well in these
islands. The people of Korea largely
follow agricultural pursuits. Now that
the sugar season is just setting in they
ought to be able to secure employment
about the islands.
Another very interesting fact con-
nected witS the arrival of the present
party is that heretofore few if any wo-
men have ever been permitted to leave
the country The Koreans are very
careful and conservative with their wo-
men and seldom have allowed any to
depart for foreign shores. The Korean
men are not unfamiliar sights in these
islands and on the mainland They are
easily distinguished by their tall odd
looking hats that resemble old-time fly
traps. The immigration of Koreans has
previously been very limited. They
have arrived in parties consisting of
scarcely over half a dozen in umber
The party on the Gaelic is therefore
very unique. All of the Koreans aboard
are coming to the Hawaiian Islands.
