IWALANI BACK
FROM HER TRIP
WAS FOUR DAYS AT LAYSAN AND
FIVE AT MIDWAY-RAN INTO A
SEVERE HURRICANE

The steamer Iva ami arrived yester-
day from Midway via Laysan Island
with 200 tons of guano from the latter
island. The vessel went to Midway
with cable station and lighthouse sup
plies. She arrived at Midway Septem-
Der T. from Honolulu and remained I'M
til September u, discharging cargo.
She arrived at Laysan on the home
ward trip on September 10 and remain
ed until September 10, loading guano.
The vessel encountered hurricane two
days after she left Midway. The
storm started in from the northeast
and worked around to the south. The
wind blew with terrific force, the ves-
sci being driven back 20 miles in ten
hours, although during that time she
was fighting against the storm. All
of the sails were carried away and the
tank containing the drinking water,
located on the forward deck, was pick
ed up by the waves and torn loose
from its lashings. The pipe was broken
causing the water to leak out, so a
supply of fresh water had to be loaded
at Laysan island. Coming from Lay
san island the weather was pleasant
and nothing of particular interest oc-

WEEK THAN EVER BEFORE IN
THE HISTORY OF PLACE

Laysan Island was a busy place on
Tuesday September 10. The port was
buster than it probably had ever been
before and probably win be for many a
year to come. In fact the harbor re-
sembled some miniature commercial
metropolis. The steamer Iwalani was

STOCK
ALLOWABLE
SECURITY
JUDGE DE BOLT OVERRULEs A
REPORT BY A. PERRY DIsAP-
PROVING STOCK INVESTMENT.

Judge De Bolt this morning gave a
decision declining to follow recommend
atoms of A. Perry as master in chan
Gerry to the effect that trustees of es-
tates should not invest money in sugar
or other stocks. Perry, as master, made
report in which among other recon-
mendations he disapproved the invest
ment of $1,000 as a loan on Eva Plan
tation stock on the general legal
ground that an administrator of an es-
tate should not invest the funds he
holds as administrator in any kind of
corporation stock. The disapproval was
not based upon any question as to the
value Of the security, but on the legal
right of the administrator to make such
an investment.
Judge De Bolt said in passing on the
matter that the question was one re-
lgarding which mainland courts were
much divided. I'm some places" he
said, sit has been held that no funds
held in fiduciary way should be in
vested n corporation stocks, no matter
how secure such securities may appear
to be, while in other jurisdictions the
courts have held that the value of tn
security is the question to be consider
ed. 1t seems to me that here, where all
interests are 50 closely interviewed with
those of the sugar industry and so de-
pendent upon the sugar industry, the
rule of rejecting all stock securities
should not be in vogue. BY this 1 dc
not at all mean that it is proper to in
vest in any sort of sugar securities OIL
stocks, but that each individual invest
ment is to be judged on it's merits
/ Those holding fiduciary funds should
exercise the greatest possible care and
judgment in making investments, and
If this is done, I think each separate
/ investment is to be considered by the
court and approved or otherwise ac-
cording TO its business propriety In
this case the investment appears tc
have been prudent and wise one, and
; it will be approved"

WANTED MUSIC
BEFORE FRESH FOOD
PEOPLE AT MIDWAY WANTED
BEFORE THE FRESH FOOD.

Although it had been months since
any fresh supplies had been received
by the cable station people at Midway,
they paid no more attention to get
ting the fresh supplies ashore from the
steamer Iwalani this month, than they
would have paid to landing a piece of
stone. What they wanted to get ashore
was a piano and pianola that the
steamer had just brought them from
Honolulu. The piano and pianola were
presents to the cable employees from
President c. II. Mackay Of the Com
mercial Pacific Gable Company.
Ever since the cable station has been
established the people there have cray
ed for some sort of amusement to enable
them to pass the time. A monograph
has served for some time and while the
Iwalani was there the native sailors
went ashore and gave concert of
Hawaiian music but the advent of the
piano and pianola have changed con-
dltions at Midway considerably and the
monotony Of the tiresome days will in
future be relieved.
When it became known that the Iva
lani had the plano and pianola with
a prodigal assortment of selections of
music, aboard there was a demand to
land that particular consignment at
once. "Never mind the fresh food
supplies" exclaimed the cable people
give us the music" So Captain Piltz
of the Iwalani had the piano outfit
landed without delay and the cable
people Immediately had the things in
stalled and began playing music. They

GERMAN SAILORS
WAIT IN JAIL
IMPRISONED TO WAIT FOR
THE TRAINING SHIP HERZOG-
GIN SOPHIE CHARLOTTE.

The Iwalani arriving yesterday had
on board three sailors who deserted
the German ship Marie Hackfeld here,
to ship for Laysan, and they were ar
rested last night by United states Mar
shall Hendry. They are held subject
to the orders of the German govern
ment. They will probably have to
remain in Jail long time. The Ger
man training ship Herzoggin Sophie
Charlotte is to return here some time
within the next two or three months,
and they may have to wait till she
comes, when they will be placed aboard
and sent home as German prisoners.
The men under arrest are Otto Kel-
Ter, Theodore Blanforth and D. V. Nolt-
ing. They went to Laysan with the
schooner Levi Woodbury.. A fourth
man, Fritz Gansburg, who went with
them, stayed at Laysan. He is to
leave there today, however on the
schooner, and will be arrested as soon
as he arrives.
The sailors say they deserted be-

Hawaii Shinpo says:

Hawaii Shinpo says:
The sum of $500 has been paid to
Consul Mkt Saito by Attorney w. A.
Kinney as counsel for Engineer Douse
of Puunene, to be sent by the consul
to the relatives of Yamagata, the Jap
anese whose death is charged to Douse.
The money was paid, of course, partly
as a matter of very proper charity
doubtless having been advanced by
( Manager Baldwin of the plantation
(which employed Douse, and partly as a
means of -allaying the Japanese indig-
NATION by showing spirit of fairness
and willingness to do something to
atone for the great wrong done. The
consul seems to have done his best to
spoil the entire effect by keeping secret
his having received the money, besides
doing himself a grave injustice if he
has accepted the money for the pur-
poses for which it was intended, for
rumors have made the payment take
the form of bride to him to get his
efforts to stop the prosec ution of the
case.
The money, we understand, was ac-
cepted by Mr. Saito without any con-
ditions The attorneys for Douse were
anxious to delay the trial, or secure a
withdrawal of charges, but this OF
course is not a matter within the con-
suPs province The payment of such
a sum was an act of good feeling and
kindness of which the representatives
of Douse should have been given the
most public credit at once There is
great bitterness in Puunene against
the man who stands charged with va
magata's death The public feeling
among Japanese is so strong that it has
been urged as a reason for postponing
the trial to later term than the next
term of court Hence when such an
effort to atone was made, the consul
should have made it known at once.

1t would do much to satisfy the Japa-
nese of the big plantation concerned
that they are wrong in thinking, if they
think so, and we fear many do, that
there is no disposition to give them fair
play 1t would show that the plantation
appreciates the wrong that has been
done and has sympathy for the family
bereaved 1t is impossible to under
stand why the CONSUL having the
money in his hands, should not at once
announce it, letting everyone know
that the family of Yamagata, who are
in Japan, are to have some substantial
assistance
Mr.. Kinney made earnest requests
to the attorney general for continu-
ance of the case, but we understand
that so far the attorney generals de-
partment has refused it. There is no
guarantee that the witnesses will re-
main, says Attorney General Andrews,
and the case is an important one. The
attorney general says that it is a mat
ter in which as a public officer he is
compelled to go ahead, and he intend
ed to go to Maui in person to conduct
the prosecution AS he is about to
leave for Shanghai, he has turned the
matter over to E C. Peters, who will
be acting attorney general, and Mr..
Peters will go and prosecute.
The Shinpo is inclined to feel a good
deal of sympathy for Mr. Douse, in
view of all the circumstances and as
has before been stated, does not believe
that there was any wilful murder. But
there were apparently actions which
were criminally careless, to say the
least. In any event it was very I'M
fair of the consul not to allow him the
benefit of the deed of charity done III
his name as an atonement 1t was
worse than unfair for failure to pub
Iish the facts led to talk of bribery of
the consul, and this makes matters a
hundred times worse for Douse.
