Day-the shop was closed. The first day, October

brought a watCh-locket to be repaired. 1t
a curious continuance very old and rare, and as l
saw at a glance, of great value 1t was in the
shape of pomegranate, extremely small but OF
solid gold overlaid with colored enamel and set
with pearls. On the front there were five large
pear-shaped pearls and on the back four-the fifth
had been lost from its socket. The pearls were
fine and wonderfully matched. The young man
was anxious to have it put in order, saying that
he would return for it in ten days.

He shook his head sadly. It's nearly always

Mr.. Lawson discovered his loss and
notified the chief of police. A list of
the articles stolen was posted in police
headquarters and the detectives began
to look for the burglar. Then the chief
of police was given a tip as to- the
identity of the possessor of the stolen
wardrobe. It is believed that a fellow
soldier saw the clothing in the posses
sion of Roberts, and for some reason
gave the artilleryman away to the po-
lice. Meanwhile Roberts returned to

he spent as much of his time down
town as he could spare from his duties

He was always well dressed In fact,

that he might be arrested at any mo-
ment He went at once to Camp Nc
Kinley, sought Lieut.. Trotter, and sur
rendered himself. He was then dressed
in a suit Of clothes of fine quality, the
coat being of the double-breasted style.
After discussing the matter for short
time Roberts stood before the officer
and said:
Lieutenant, I wish certain cores
pondence in my possession to be treat
ed as of a private chara cter."
Lieut.. Trotter assented to this, when
suddenly Roberts whipped out a re-
volver. and. pointing it, with the
atrical air. at his breast, he fired one
shot. staggered and fell. The officer

A Maui Man Declines.
Planters Urge Carter
to Stay.

Excepting for the fact that II. P,
Baldwin of Maui formally eliminated
himself from the consideration. not
only by declaring his own inability to
accept but by publicly endorsing aspir-
ations of a. n. Kepoikai for the sue
cession. the matter of the Governorship
remained in the air yesterday.
Indeed, there can be nothing definite
done in relation to the appointment of
a successor to Governor Carter until
that gentleman himself has visited
Washington, and held his consultation
with the President. Governor Carter
has all along been very earnest in his
protestations of his desire for the ac-
ceptance Of his resignation. The Presi-
dent, there is some reason to believe,
has not been altogether inclined to
agree with the Governor in this view
of the case. Until these two, therefore.
meet to consider the question. there viii
of course be nothing doing in the way
of the succession-beyond what the
friends of various aspirants may do.
In the meantime while the matter
still hangs fire, the determination Of
the business community TO have the
resignation withdrawn, or TO induce
the President not TO accept it, began
to take definite form yesterday. The
Planters Association had meeting in
the forenoon, for the purpose of re-
uuesting President Roosevelt TO refuse
Carter's resignation. and to express
their confidence in the Governor and
their entire satisfaction with his ad-
of his Office.

to sell raw sugar to the Spreckels re-
finery on more favorable basis than
that heretofore in operation More
favorable terms We're offered by the
Spreckels Refinery than those now in
operation. but not as favorable as
those demanded by the Sugar Factors
Company.
The SpreckeIs Refineries have hereto
fore demanded of Hawaiian planters,
and have received, a discount of 3-S
cents a pound equal to $3.50 a ton of
sugar less than the New York market
price. AS the amount of Hawaiian
sugar sold on the Pacific Coast has
amounted to approximately 10000 tons
per annum. this has meant an annual
tribute paid by the Hawaiian planters
to the Spreckels refneries of 81, ,225 goo.
For this the Hawaiian planters have
received nothing. They have paid it
simply because it was demanded and
they were not in a position where they
could protect themselves against extor-
tion. 1t is this enforced tribute more
than any other one cause that has
caused the creation of the Sugar Fac
tors Company.
THE CROCKETT REFINERY COM
PANY.
The first step which the Factors
Company took in their struggle with
the Spreckels Company was to pur-
chase a controlling interest in the
Crockett refinery, situate on San Fran
cisco Bay, at a cost of approximately
50 .OOO, 900. The Crockett Refinery has
magnificent location on deep water and
is fully equipped with wharves ware
houses and a thorough up-to-date re-
finery.
The refinery has been closed for the
last two years, after a long fight with
the Spreckels Refinery, ending in
compromise by which it was closed by
agreement a until the expiration OF the
present sugar contract in the fall of
1905.
The officers of the Crockett Refinery
who will handle the fight against the
Spreckels Refineries are: R. P. Rithet,
