IN TROUBLE
Meeting of Creditors
and Stockholders
This Day.

Hart & Co., Ltd, have reached a
eliminating point in financial difficult
ties that have long been accruing. A
meeting of stockholders and creditors
of the corporation is called for o'clock
this afternoon in Castle & Cookies hall
For some months past the business of
Hart & Co. has been allowed to run
only by sufferance of the creditors, who
wished to give the concern every chance
to tide over it's difficulties
1t is said that the directors were
disposed to wind up affairs last Octo-
Der, but it was arranged that the BUSH
ness should continue in hopes that the
Christmas trade would enable the COM
pany 70 pay at least a fair proportion
of it's debts. The arrival of the fleet
helped the concern out materially, but
not enough to enable it to meet its
maturing bills. Dull times have caused
people to give up buying luxuries and
in consequence Hart & Co.'S business
has been particularly hard hit by the
depression.
The business of Hart & Co, Ltd,
running under the name of the Elite
Ice Cream Parlors, was founded by the
late Reuben I. Hart, in his time lead
ing restaurateur, confectioner, tobac-
conist, etc. After his death it was con-
tinued by James Steiner, who had
grown up with the business from a
clerk with Hart, as a partner with the
estate and manager. Mr.. Steiner, part
~ by aid of his own side business of
stamp dealer, prospered and by fine
business qualities brought Hart & Co.
to a goodly prosperity likewise. He
individually erected 1.-The Elite block
four or five years ago, also incorpor-
ated the business and then set up for
himself elsewhere in town.
The Elite establishment is one of the
handsomest of its kind in appointments
west of the Rocky Mountains and the
community at large Will much regret
it's present difficulties. A good deal of
the stock is held among young men of
Honolulu who can i'll afford to have its
value extinguished.
AT the meeting today means may be
devised for holding The Elite doors
open to await more prosperous times.

SCOTIA MAY BE
GONE FOR GOOD

Nothing further has been heard from
the cable ship Scotia which was re-
ported ashore at Spanish Rocks week
ago. 1t is not even known whether
the Pacific Commercial Cable Co. will
send a wrecking ship to get her off
the rocks, but this will probably be
done if there is any chance Of floating
her. In that case the rescue ship
would probably go from Singapore.
Although the Scotia has supplies
aboard for the Midway station, the
cable colony there will suffer no hard
ship because of her non-arrival. The
chances are thac the wrecking of the
Scotia. with a likelihood of her not
being f1oated again, may delay for a
considerable period the sending of a
station ship to Honolulu.

Texan Arrives.

The Decentralization freighter
Texan arrived yesterday morning ten
days from Puget Sound. She expe-
rienced rough weather en- route, heavy
seas washing her decks. The ship es-
capped without damage.
The Texan brought $500 tons of
freight, consisting of lumber, coal, lime,
feed and potatoes. She will leave
Sunday night for KaanapaIi to take on
Pioneer Mill sugar. From there she
goes to Kahului and Hilo to load sugar
and will sail from the latter port about
March 18th.

Sofa Burned in One House Hot
Goals Fell on the Floor
in Another.
KEPT FIREMEN BUSY.
First Blaze was Saturday Night and the
other was Yesterday Morning -Firemen
Found the Flames Exlinguished When
They Arrived-Boy was Lighting a
Lamp and Threw Match on Hair Sofa.

The firemen have answered two
alarms of fire within the past forty
eight hours. In both cases the loss
was trifiing and the blaze was out be-
fore the firemen arrived OH the scene.
Saturday night, shortly before 6
O'Clock, the alarm sounded 28, at
Market and South First streets II
seems that one of the children OF
Martin Thompson, l55 Gordon street,
foreman OF the city's stables, lit a
lamp in the kitchen and had then
thrown the match on hair sofa The
sofa ignited and was soon in blaze
but no farther damage was done.
About 1880 O'Clock yeaterday
mroning an alarm was sent in from
box 56, at Hall avenue and Charles
street. A stove in the kitchen OF the
house at SO Cortlandtstreet, occupied
by Martin Garter, had become redhot
and some OF the Goals had fallen on
the floor. Plenty of smoke but little
fire was the result The damage will
not amount to $15.

WATCHMAN ON BOARD.
Other Little Crafts Being Taken Apart and
Loaded on a Scow Which is at the Dock
VIII Probably be Taken up Long Is,
land Sound and Losded on a Steamer
as other Crafts Have Dissappeared.H

At o'clock Saturday afternoon the
little craft which, ss told in the News
was being built at the local yard oi
Lewis Nixon, between the scnoolshiI
and the government tug, slid off the
ways into the water As the boat
struck the water she sank deep and
was soon imbedded IN the mud. With
the aid of q tug she was soon out in
the clear water of the sound.
This is the little craft that was be.
ing guarded SO carefully SO that
visitors could hardly see what was
going on.
A week ago yesterday, as told In
tho News, the engine was placed in
the boat. All the week, night and
day, mechanics have been at work on
the boat finishing it for launching.
The News heard that the launch was
to take place, hut News reporter
was told, at the yard, that 1t would
not OCCUR for week yet.
Yesterday Waterman was on duty
aboard the boat and no one was
allowed ON her. 1t is said that under
her deck all is comfortable and that
extra care has been taken with heI
gas engines. The entrance to the
boat is through the pilot house and
when this is closed, it is supposed to
be WAGER tight A plate glass Of
double thickness will be placed in
the forward part of the boat so that
the pilot can see we'll ahead.
The reporter noticed yesterday that
the other boats in the yard are being
rapidly taken apart The sections
are put aboard a scow which lies al
the dock. 1t looks as If the load
would be taken to Long Island sound
and secretly put aboard a steamer af
SO many other little crafts have sc
my steriously disappeared.
