Lowest Bidder Accepted.

Superintendent of Public Works
Holloway has filed his answer in the
suit of John Lucas VS.. The American
Hawaiian Engineering and Construc-
ton Company, Ltd, C. S. Holloway
Superintendent of Public Works and
j. II. Fisher, Territorial auditor, in
which he denies that the specifications
concerning the new Brewer wharf,
contain any provisions determining
how many new piles or how many old
piles should be used in the construc-
tion of the wharf, and also denies that
the plans and specifications left it alb
solutely uncertain what, if any, old
piles in the existing structure should
be used in the new structure, or that
the specifications We're so vague that
1t was impossible for intelligent and
uniform bids to be made thereon by
contractors.
The Superintendent further denies
that under the original specifications
lump bid was called for both wharf
and bitumen. No changes were made
in the plans and specifications. The
bid of the American Hawaiian En-
gineering and Construction Co., Ltd,
was in conformity with the specifica-
tions, and their bid was therefore ac-
cepted by the Superintendent and a
contract entered into in pursuance
with said bid, and the same was not
the result Of further negotiations or
arr angements between the Superin-
ter dent and the American Hawaiian
Engineering Co., the latter being the
lowest bidder.

BALDWIN
ARRESTED
Attorney.G General Goes
to hilo on
Case.
(From Wednesdays Advertiser)

Former sub-land agent Baldwin of
Hilo Is under arrest and Attorney-Gen-
eral Andrews, Auditor Fisher, former
Land Commissioner j. +. Brown, and
an employee of the Land Commission
er's office, departed yesterday for Hilo
on the Kinau to be present when Mr..
Baldwin's case comes up for hearing.
The arrest was ordered by the Attorney
General by wireless telegraph, and word
was received yesterday that Mr.. Bald
win was under arrest. The hearing will
be in the magistrates court and he will
probably be bound over to answer to
the next grand jury of the Fourth Cir
cult.
Right of purchase leases form the
basis of agent Baldwin's trouble. Dur
ing his regime government lands were
opened for homesteading and applicants
were given the privilege of occupying
lands, paying thereon $500. They were
to make certain improvements on the
property, and at the expiration of three
years were to come before the sub
agent to prove their right to the title
Of the land. They were asked certain
questions as to whether they had COM
piled with the requirements by which
they secured the lands, the answers be-
ing recorded under oath, and they then
deposited money with the sub-agent,
taking his personal receipt therefor.
Under the mode of procedure the sub
agent should have sent the ranger to
make an investigation in each case to
ascertain whether the r,tw had been
complied with. If his investigation was
favorable, the sub-agent was to have
approved the claim, sent the matter
on to Honolulu and in due time the
Land Commissioner should have sent
back patent to the land.
This is the portion of the procedure
which 1t is alleged that Baldwin failed
to do. After the applicants had proved
up they returned to their lands. Some
of the claims were undoubtedly approx
ed by Baldwin, others may not have
been, and in some instances ii is alleg
ed that claimants had neglected to
fulfil their part of the agreement by
residing on the lands in question, but
in all cases, no money was ever return
ed to an applicant, and they continued
to reside on the land believing they had
n clear title, but that through some
failure or another their patents failed
to be sent from Honolulu.

NO BARREL
SAYS KIDD
All Is Not Peace Among
the Democratic
Politicians.
(From Wednesdays Advertiser)

Except among the Democrats there
is little talk of the results of the
Democratic Convention of Monday as
far as local issues were concerned. Re-
publican leaders seemed unanimous In
the opinion that the framing of the
platform with its charges against the
Republican administration and party
would rebound against the credit of the
Democratic party itself. one of the
Senators smiled yesterday morning
when the remark was made that the
Democrats seemed to be running things.
Running things into the ground he
replied. No one seemed to think the
Republican party menaced by the ap-
parent new Democratic strength. III
may help to break up the Home Rule
party" said one prominent Republican,
"a procedure which will not be to the
detriment of our party
Frank Harvey is one of those who Is
said to be anything but satisfied with
the proceedings of the convention with
which he is affiliated. He Is a strong
anti Hearst man and will, it Is said,
commence to stir things up among the
Democrats.
1t was announced yesterday that at
least three of the natives present at
the convention as Oahu delegates are
employed by the present administration
on the Manoa road work. The report
is not credited at the department but
is affirmed by several who claim to
know the men.
The Hearst Barrel still continues to
be quoted as an existent fact despite
the protestations of the man who man

california Day at Worlds
Fair Will Be Celebrated in
a Very Modest Manner
PLANS MUCH ALTERED
knights Templar COnclave
Too Much of an Attraction
for Success of Other Affair
BY PAUL EDWARDS.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. Z. - The knights
Templar Conclave. in San Francisco
has proved too strong a counter attrac-
ton for the success of California day at
the Worlds Fair. The Native Sons
excursion dropped from 5000 10 a mere
handful when it arrived at O'Clock
this morning. There were less than 100
people OF the train and not half of
these were Natives. Not until Monday
was word received here Of the actual
number coming and plans made for the
celebration were of necessity much al
tered.
A committee Of California County
Commissioners, composed OF Judge j.
H Wills Lloyd Childs, Mr.. Dennis, c..
W Merritt and Commissioner Erwin Of
san Francisco, were at the Union Sta
tion 70 meet the visitors. Prominent
among the latter were Lewis H. Bying-
ton, District Attorney Of San Fran
cisco; DR.. A. H. Giannini Of San Fran
cisco; Judge c. Z. Mclaughlin, grand
president Of the Native Sons of Plu-
mas; ]. Harris, Deputy District Attor-
ney OF San Francisco; George Cats,
ex-Mayor Of Stockton, and Ed Head,
cashier Of the Spring Valley Water
Company Of San Francisco.
The visitors were made at home at
the San Francisco and California build
ing and were soon scattered about the
fair. There viii be no parade here on
California day and no exercises in Con-
gress Hall. The ceremonies will be held
on the slope back Of the California
building, where an exposition band will
play.
SO little interest have California fruit
growers shown in the matter Of send
ing fruit TO the fair that the State
Commissioner to-day found it neces-
sary 10 buy some here for the 9Th.
LLOYD Childs Of San Jose was delegated
60 purchase a small quantity in the St
Louis markets. The excursionists
brought some with them that was con-
tributed by growers and also seventy
five cases Of wine which will be dis
pensed 10 the public.

SEVEN MURDERS
WEEKS RECORD
Epidemic of Crime Sweeps
New York and Police Are
Accused of Inactivity
FEW ARRESTS ARE MADE
Coroner Scholer Asserts That
the Ordinary Killings
Are Scarcely Investigated
Special Dispatch to The Cain.

NEW YORK, Sept. 7.-Coroner's
Physician Benjamin J. Strong's state
ment that. after two examinations, he
is safe in declaring that Norris Weiss
of Long Island City. whose body was
found floating in East River, was
choked to death, adds one more to the
list of the city's unsolved murder mys-
teries.
Seven persons have been murdered
since September 1, and, according to
Commissioner McAdoo. arrests have
been made in four cases.
Police circles were stirred by the
publication of statement by Coroner
Scholer that the mere killing of man
under ordinary circumstances excited
no unusual activity on the part of the
police of New York. Coroner Scholer
said that human life had become very
cheap. He pointed to the killing of Jo-
seph Vokopel, Daniel Eagan, Richard
Gents, Guilimo Cuinno, Joseph Janna-
conf and Leonard Eulo, shot or beaten
to death within six days, with only a
few arrests and little or no investiga-
ton.

BOULDER CREEK, Sept. 7.-Boul-

property. The heat is intense, vast
clouds of hot, sitting smoke envelop
the town and business is suspended.

HOPE TO FREE
CHINESE SLAVES
Christian Women of CalifOr-
MIA Direct an Appeal to
the State Department
LATTER ADMITS CHARGE
Hundreds of Mongolian I'M
migrants Held in Bond
age by Rich Merchants
Special Dispatch to The Cali.

CALL BUREAU, HOTEL BARTON,
WASHINGTON, Sept. Alleging that
more than 1900 Chinese women are liv-
ing a life of wretched slavery in San
Francisco, the women composing the
Women's Christian Temperance Union
Of California appealed to the State De-
partment to-day to take some action.
The appeal was turned over to the Bu-
reau of immigration, whose officials de-
clared that the statement was not ex-
aggerated. Numerous schemes are en-
ployed to bring immigrants in and each
person is charged a comparatively
large sum. The immigrant of course,
has no money to pay, so the amount
is forwarded by merchants, with the
promise that the Immigrant will pay
it back from his wages. Under this
condition he becomes the virtual slave
of the merchant who advances the
money. All of his wages are turned
over as fast as they are due. The wages
are small and the sums usually de-
manded for entry very large. Num-
bers of unfortunate men and women
brought from China in this manner
live as slaves for ten, fifteen and even
twenty years.
The immigrants, it is said, never
think of breaking their contracts. They
know that such action would mean
death to them, or, if they escaped, it
would mean death to their relatives in
China
The Bureau of immigration has just
returned to China seventeen immi-
grants, who were brought into the
country in this manner. 1t was alleged
that they were to form part of the
China village at the st. Louis expo
sition. The men were charged at first
$500 in Mexican money and then $110
in American money was added to their
debt on the ground that it was needed
to overcome some unexpected difficulty.
In answer to the charges of the Cali
fornia women the immigration officials
say that it is impossible to tell how
many men and women are living in
slavery in San Francisco. Even the
census officials were unable to get any
statistics. Repeated trips through
Chinatown and Investigations Of the
tenements there fail to produce results,
and the officials declare that the break
ing up of the wretched colony is prac-
tically impossible.

my little baby boy. fifteen months
old had pneumonia, then came brain
fever. and no sooner had he got over
these than he began TO cut teeth and.
being so weak he was frequently
thrown into commissions" says a Col
oraco mother.
7 decided q change might help, so
took him 70 Kansas City for visit
When we got there he was so very
weak when he would cry he would sink
away and seemed like he would die.
when 1 reached my sisters home
she said Immediately that we must
feed him Grape-Nuts and. although
had never used the food. we got some
and for a few days gave him just the
juice Of Grape-Nuts and milk. He got
stronger so quickly we were soon feed
ing him the GraDe-Nuts itself and in a
wonderfully short time he fattened
right 10 and became strong and well.
THAT showed me something worth
knowing and when later on my girl
came. i raised her on GraDe-Nuts and
she is a strong healthy baby and has
been. You VIII see from the little pho
tograph I send you what a strong,
chubby yOungster the boy Is now, Dut

ONE STABS THE OTHER
Victim Falls and Assassin
Slides to the Ground and
Makes Vain Run forLiberty
Special Dispatch to The Call.


NEW YORK, Sept. 7.-Standing in
the street, fifty feet below a scaffold.
crowd of nearly a hundred persons held
their breath as they watched two Ital-
ian masons, who had been at work on
new building at Stone avenue and
Blake street, Brooklyn, fighting each
other like wild men. The eyes of the
crowd were only diverted from the
scaffold when one of the Italians was
seen to stab the other several times
the injured man falling back through
a third-story window bleeding, while
his assailant jumped for a rope dang
ling to the ground from one end of the
scaffold and slid to the street Not one
in the crowd seemed to be alive to the
advisability of stopping the fleeing
Italian until the arrival of Policeman
Stratton.
Stratton started after the italian,
who was running up Stone avenue.
Realizing that the chances of capturing
the man were slight, he called to a girl
who was approaching him on a bicy-
Gle to dismount. Stratton mounted the
machine and dashed away, overlook
the Italian and jumped from the wheel,
ordering him to stop. The man did
stop, but was prepared to fight against
arrest. Advancing toward Stratton, he
drew a long dirk and struck at the po-
liceman's chest. Stratton lodged the
blow and quickly covered the Italian
with his revolver and disarmed him.
The Italians victim was stabbed twice
in the left thigh and twice In the right
hip. He was removed to a hospital in
a serious condition.
