'the commission people get their price

$3.50 to s1.75 for choice fruit. They see
what they are getting. however, while

And Dinklage's talk is good talk and
strengthens the case for the acquisition
of local boat or even two as quickly
as possible. BY this means the ruinous
question of freight will be satisfactorily
answered and one of the shippers OBJ

A fruit exchange run in the interests
Of the banana producers, and from this
end of the line, would be instrumental
in smoothing away other difficulties
which beset profitable banana shipping

would make the lot of the banana raiser
in Hawaii happy one. Nothing else
will or can.
The industry is an important and
growing one. At present from 49,

RUSSIAN OFFICER
ELECTED FROM CAR

Several of the Russian officers. of the
Russian cruiser Lena were indignant
at the Rapid Transit Company yester-
day because of a rather rigid enforce
ment of the new regulation which does
not permit the carrying of boxes, bas-
kets, etc. Eight or nine officers and
five or six ladies who are returning to
Vladivostok on the cruiser came ashore
and at 1:20 waited on the corner of Fort
and King street for a WAIKIKI bound
car. Four sailors carried the grip
sacks for the party.
The ladies boarded the car and stow
ed away their children, while the off,
GERS went on with the baggage. One
officer unfortunately was purdened
with three suit cases and was settling
down into seat when the conductor
rudely ordered him to get off. The
oficer did not comprehend and the
conductor once more ordered him and
his luggage off the car. The ladies look
ed their indignation and the third time,
when the conductor moved toward the
officer, he debarked and CALL

When Mrs, Josselyn came ashore half

terror of the Malays. Besides this, all

The Malays, much to their surprise,
treated the shipwrecked people kindly.

Sentence
OF F0RGERs
tFrom Saturdays Advertis,r.>

tFrom Saturdays Advertistr.N
Judge Dole yesterday sentenced the
Porto Ricans, Julio Silva and Pascio
Raggas, to imprisonment at hard labor
for two years, for the forgery of a 500
postoffice money order. While the court
felt that this, as the minimum term of
provided by the statute,
was rather severe for the size of the
fraud in the case, yet the plea of
Messrs. Thayer and Olsen for a fine
could not be entertained. 1t would
mean that after thirty days in prison
the defendants would obtain their re-
lease under the poor mans oath. Both
defendants asserted their innocence
when asked If they had anything to
say why sentence should not be passed
upon them.
Frank c. Bertelman~'s demurrer to
indictment for persona ting a Federal
officer to commit frau was overruled
by Judge Dole. Defendant will there
fore have to stand his trial.
