THE STORM

The storm which prevails as TINS
comment is being written is kona
which only lacks the accompaniment or
a high wind to be one of extraordinary
violence. The last local disturbance OF
the kind occurred three winters ago, a
gale coming with the deluge. Happily
we have so far in this kona, been
SHARED from visitation of sustained
high winds.
How much water has fallen may be
best appreciated by comparison with
what is called fair seasons rainfall
in southern California. Day before
yesterday VIM. r. Castle reported
nearly eight inches of rain at his city
residence, registered in twelve hours
From nine to eleven inches is fair
average in San Diego for the seven
months when precipitation may be
looked for. So much rain makes good
year. The last coast files show that,
since October, Los Angeles has had a
total precipitation or o.5I lnches, san
Diego of O.45 inches and Fresno of Las
inches. Even in the North, at Sar
Francisco, only 40 inches have been
youchsafed. out of the entire rain
fall, II it totals eight inches, Southern
California hopes TO impound enough
water to carry its agriculture through
next summer and early fall. 1t is 4
safe estimate that such deluge as W.
are having would be worth ten millions
of dollars to Southern California in
dustries.

RUSSIANS ON
THE WAR PATH

Two Russians went on the warpath
yesterday afternoon on Punchbowl,
used their teeth and fists on a young
Portuguese, fought the police officer
who attempted to arrest them and
finally landed in the police station on
charges of assault and battery for
which they We're held for 500 bail
each.
According to the story told to the
police a Portuguese youth went into
coffee shop on Punchbowl street.
While the boy was eating the Rus
slams entered. The boy is said to have
the inability of the Russian fleet to
overcome Fhe Japs. Then the Rus
SLAMS charged. They dragged the
young fellow to an upstairs room and
there are alleged to have bit him in 9.
fiendish manner.
In response to a call for police Sam
Leslie, of the mounted force, went af-
ter the Russians. He grappled with
them and a rough and tumble fight en-
sued. They tried to bite the officer but
that they We're finally subdued and
, carried away to the police station.
There they gave the names of Stani-
laus and Dofskos. The former had
about $3.50 in gold on his person.

square he wishes to gamble on. After
all the tickets have been disposed OF
the head of the hui puts a dot In one
of the squares. He then gives the
paper so marked to a trusted agent.
That agent then parades the street. He
Is usually well known to all the play
ers and as he passes along he makes
some sign by which the players know
what symbol or square won.
Yesterday a lottery drawing took
place near Liliha street. The symbol.
"a horses head" won. The agent
then walked down Liliha street with
his head barred. To the faithful this
indicated the winning number to be "a
horses head" But had the police ar
rested this man for conducting a lot
terry, It would have been impossible to
convict him. On his person they
would have found a sheet of paper
with small squares ruled off on It,.
That would be all and few men could
stand UP and convince a jury it was a
lottery ticket.

MORE MONEY
FOR COFFEE
Hawaii Grower Looks
for a Shortage in
Brazil.

A prominent coffee grower from Ha-
wall said yesterday:
There is shortage in the coming
coffee crop of Brazil, and the upward
tendency of prices is therefore likely
to be rapid All mild grades of coffee
in the world have been affected by the
over production in Brazil in the past,
and the shortage in that country this
coming year, will evidently affect all
other coffee growing countries.
81 anticipate that we will realize
much better prices for few years to
come. / see in all this hope of better
prices for our Hawaiian coffee.
"Hawaii's output, roughly calculate
ing, can be estimated from 10000 to 25,-
600 bags, a hundred pounds to the bag.
Last years prices gave a net price per
pound to the grower of about 1919 cents
We should realize from three to four
cents more per pound in the future

evening at the Kapolani Park resi-
dence of Mr.. and Mrs. John w. Nc

new SCHEME OF
CHE IA MEN

Despite strenuous efforts on the part
of the police to suppress che ia lot
teries in Honolulu hundreds of dollars
are changing hands every day in the
game and few Chinese are waxing
wealthy. To defeat the police and
prevent convictions in the police court
the lottery managers have adopted
unique means of conducting their BUSH
ness. BY their new system it is prac-
tically impossible for an informer to be
able to take one of their lottery tickets
into court and prove that the ticket Is
lottery ticket.
The system is as follows. hui
establishes lottery. The head man
of the company secures large number
of square sheets of paper. He rules
these off so that each contains thirty
six squares. Each square is blank
but really represents a horses head
sausage, a match, or some other ar
ticle. Every player knows what each
square should contain We're the pic
lures of the article to be printed in the
square. The player then buys the
| tickets II he puts up dollar and
| the square he chooses wins then he
secures thirty dollars on his invest
ment. Thus in thirty-six chances the
banker only pays on a thirty-to-one
basis and In this he makes his big

DYNAMITER
IN THE TOLLS

A sheepish looking little Jap, carrying
a blanket which was filed with his be-
lodgings, accompanied by three coun-
trymen, arrived from Kauai yesterday
morning in the custody Of Sheriff Coney
and Chester Doyle. The little Jap was
Matsumoto Moritaro and he is said to
have confessed that he murdered Glen
nan, the engineer, by blowing him up
with eight sticks of dynamite. He was
captured by the Kauai police after
long search and Judge Kahele, of ka-
uai, has committed him to Oahu Prison
to await the action of the grand jury
on charge of murder in the first de-
gree.
Although the Jap has not confessed
that he did the deed for the gamblers
whom Mr.. Glennan had chased out of
camp it is supposed that arrangements
had been made to pay him to accom-
plish this dastardly deed.
| Soon after the murder of Glennan,
Sheriff Coney suspected that the muir
derer or murderers were itinerant gam
| blers whom Mr.. Glennan had run out
of the camp. Accordingly he arrested
every Jap who had no means of liveli-
hood and charged each with vagrancy.
He was thus able to hold them and then
sent for Chester Doyle to examine them.
J hn tn, ba
Finally ne got hold of four who con-
fessed that they knew the man who
had done the murder and that he had
escaped to Honolulu. w. II. Rice, Jr.,
of Kauai was sent to Honolulu to find
| this man and with the aid of Jap
anese detective spotted his quarry
working for the Honolulu plantation,
The man was taken back to Kauai, and
is said to have made "A full confess
sion in which he stated that he had
lighted the fuse which set off eight
sticks of dynamite and the giant pow
der which dealt Mr. Glennan horrible
death. From the evidence given at the
trial at Lihue 1t appears that Matsu-
motto secured powder, fuse and cap
from workmen on the Makaweli tunnel
and with chisel cut the telephone
wire before exploding his great charge
in Mr.. Glennan's tent. He ran quickly
after lighting the fuse and was two
hundred yards away from the tent at
the time the explosion took place.
Matsumoto is thirty years old and
has been In the islands for six years,
working for short periods on various
plantations during that time.

mehameha, the only fraternal lodge of
that designation in the Hawaiian Is
lands, dedicated it's new lodge rooms in
Foster Hall, Nuuanu street, last even
ing, with music, oratory and a social.
The lodge room has been fitted up as
an attractive gathering place for the
members, the Hawaiian ensign being
prominent feature of the lodge en-
blems, and it is also much used in the
decorations. The new hall has polish
ed floor and the furnishings, though
simple, are neat and effective. The
platforms of the various officers have
each a light wood stand, and behind
each station is a Hawaiian flag. Be
hind the platform of the head of the
order hangs a picture of Kamehameha
the Great, fianlked by the American and
Hawaiian ensigns. The ante-rooms are
attractive and comfortable.

Pleased. With
Hawaii.

Mr.. George H. Emerson, who took
passage on the steamer China for San
Francisco after six weeks stay in
zens of the State of Washington, where
he has done much to develop the lum-
Der industry and various other enter
prises.
Mr.. Emerson shipped to Gray's Har-
Dor the lumber out of which was built
the first lumber mill established there.
From this beginning twenty-five years
ago, he became the leader in the devel-
opment of a great industry in which
he now holds large interests.
AS president of the Hoquiam Harbor
and Land Company and vice president
of the Northwestern Lumber Com
pany, of which for many years he was
manager, as President of the First
National Bank of Hoquiam and in
many other positions of trust, he has
been largely instrumental in founding
growing city with stable population
of 5000.

by his wife and son. made the circuits

There are more large corporations in
Hawaii than in the western part of the
State of Washington. There We cap
italize at the million dollar limit, but
here you reach the four and five million
limit"
Mr. Emerson was much interested in
the management of the inter-island
traffic. The landings along the coast
We're a novelty, and the fine service of
the boat boys a pleasure He spoke
of the good roads over which he was
driven. "They are better than the
County roads We get in Washington.
County government is not apt to make
good roads," he said.
your climate and scenery are those
of continent in miniature. With high
mountainous, sea-girt islands, you
keep cool and have before you the
sweep of both land and shore. There
is moisture and there is dryness. In
two days ride one may enjoy a
greater variety of climate and scenery
than in a trip of twenty degrees on the
mainland. Here is a world in the
process of being made. You have
the lava just from the crucible and
beside it the loan of centuries of mel
lowing. Here in mid-ocean, where the
| traveller from the Occident meets the
| traveller from the Orient, you have a
taste of world life. The picturesque
Chinese and Japanese women, so nu-
merous here, are variety unknown on

Mr. Emerson was a Massachusetts
boy and fought in the Civil War with
his cousin, Dr. N. B. Emerson of this
city. He was much impressed during
his stay at Haleiwa Hotel with the
beauty of Waialua and it's associations
with the labors of his uncle, Rev. John
s. Emerson, under whose influence the
Waialua mission was established and
carried on for over fifty years.

LIGHTS GO OUT.

shortly after o'clock last evening
the electric lights in the Punahou and
Manoa sections of the city went out.
Repairs could not be made last even
ing and most residents had to dine by
lamp and candle-light.
THREE LIVE WIRES.
Early last evening three live wires
were reported from different sections
of the city. Officers were promptly
sent out from the police station to
warn travellers of the danger and by
nine o'clock all peril had been averted.
At j:45 a report was sent to the police
station that an electric light wire had
broken near the Langton building on
King street. officer A. Kane was sent
to the scene and electricians were
quickly detailed to clear the wire away.
AT 615 a report was sent in Srom Judd
and Nuuanu streets that wire was
down there and was doing considerable
spluttering in the mud. Mr.. Green, a
collector, tried to get it out of the way
by using an umbrella. He received
mild shock. Then the residents of
that vicinity waited for electricians to
come. Shortly before seven o'clock a
wire broke down near the residence of
Alexander Young at Young and Victo-
ria streets. officer Kaaua went out
there and later electric light employees
fixed up the wire.

he read her advertisement. She was
the sweetest, loveliest and most charm

tell that from the wording of her ad-
vertisement, so there was no disputing
that fact. Wealth, what was wealth
He scorned it.
So did the Maori maiden, and she
cast his letter aside and took up the
next.
This was from a miner in Idaho. He
told her he weighed $50 pounds; was
the boss of Hangers Luck; could lick
any man in the town; and lastly add
led: II have never been a convict"
Even this noble and virtuous crea-
ture did not appeal to the "princess.' y
Why was it that all these men wanted

what did that mean? Another talked
of gold-wrote on paper marked "Ba-
