Zip before Squire y. G. Jones on the
charge OF horse stealing. He hired
Mike Sutton 10 defend him, and when
the case waS called proved beyond
question by II witness WHO witnessed
the theft That We had the right man.
After the prosecution had rested SUIT
ion Introduced 'l;Hnalo' Jones us a
witness and gravely Informed the court
that lie intended to prove by him that
my witness had lied Buffalo took
the stand and swore that. while he had
never seen or heard of the witness be-
fore and knew nothing ut all about the
crime committed. he had had a great
deal of experience with men and could
tell pretty certain when they were
lying. Then he proceeded to tell how
men .;ctel when they were lying. and
gaze the expert opinion that my wit
ness lad sworn 10 lies from the word
go. Il protested against such perform
ances, but Sutton made the judge be-
lieve lie lad as much right to intro

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused
by an inilamed condition Of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube, When this tube is inilamed
you have a rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out
of ten are caused by Catarrh, which
is nothing but an inflamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.

MAY GET CHANCE
TO RAISE MONEY

in the territory in question the quick
est. Could the gentlemen who were
promoting this project do that, or
would 1t be better to throw the mat
ter open to some other parties. He
then read a letter from the Engineer
of the Kohala- -Hilo road showing the
practical difficulties of the project and
how it would not be possible to build
the road in the time specified in the
charter, in any event. A couple of let
ters were also read from citizens of
Hilo showing the justice of granting
the extension of time proposed.
Mr.. Lewis arose again to say that
the promoters had not slept upon their
rights. but had used all due effort to
interest capital in the project, and
then Mr.. Peck took the floor to explain
the difficulties he had had in getting
capital to take hold of it. He had now,
he said, some parties in Pittsburg who
had agreed to finance the road, provld-
ed they were given the handling of all
OF it's bonds, and these parties he had
given ninety days time to reach
final determination in the matter. Mr..
Peck went at some length into the
difficulties of the project, and told how
much money had already been spent
for labor and material.
! w. o. Smith spoke in favor of grant
ing the waiver of the forfeiture clause
asked for by the railroad people.
Carl Smith wanted to know whether
the projectors wanted the government
to enter into a new contract, or just
exactly what was wanted. He knew
that the people of Hilo, were vitality
interested in the construction of this
road by somebody. He would not favor
taking snap judgment, but IL these
people could not build the road, then
other parties should be given a chance.
w. o. Smith said that more time
was wanted
How much?" asked Governor Car
ter.
Two years" replied Peck. IT know
that If cannot finance this road in a
year, I cannot do 1t at ALL"
What we want" said Attorney
Lewis. "is an assurance from the Su-
perintendent of Public Works that the
government will not exercise its right
OF forfeiture under the franchise"
do you expect the government to
give you written assurance asked
Carl Smith.
"Yes"
"Then." said Carl Smith, "I think
, the government is entitled to more
explicit statement OF what Mr.. Peck
has TO go upon in the way Of financial
backing. If he is asking for an ex.
tension merely upon the chance thai

PEA|ERA IS HELD
FOR KOL0A ROBBERY

District Court COMMISSIONER Judd
yesterday held Gilharme Periera, also
called Brilhante, to answer in the sum
of S., 800 for completely in the loot of
the Koloa postoflice by NJ. A. Rego. 1t
was shown by several witnesses that
in May, 1908, Rego sent batch of
money orders to Honolulu by Periera
for collection, the defendant having
knowledge that no money had been
deposited in the Koloa office to meet
the orders. These orders were turned
over by Periera to j. q. Abreu for col
lection, and the money was collected
by Abreu and paid INTO Bishops bank
to the credit of Rego.
The attorney for Periera claimed
that sufficient case had not been
made out upon which to hold defend
ant, but Commissioner Judd did not
take this view.
At the opening of the proceedings in
the forenoon United States District At
torney Breckons entered a nolle pros
in the case of Abreu, also accused of
completely in the postoffice frauds,
who was arrested a few days ago and
released upon a bail bond signed by
himself.
Pericra was taken to the house of
Commissioner Judd last night, and his
bond for $500 was signed by the
United States Fidelity and Guarantee
Company. He was then released from
custody.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1905-02-17

II the men who are back of the Ko-
hala-Hilo railway project can show to
the satisfaction of Superintendent of
Public Works Holloway by the first
of August that they can raise the
money needed to build the line to Ono
mea in two years and to Hakalau in
three, they will be given an extension
of their franchise. That is to say If
Attorney General Andrews can see the
way legally for the Superintendent to
grant the extension. Whether he can
or whether he cannot will be matter
for future consideration.
That was the net result of hear
ing that was granted to the parties at
interest in the case before Governor
Carter in his chambers at the Capitol
yesterday. The hearing was rather an
impressive proceeding. Mr.. Peck, the
promoter of the Kohala- Hilo road, was
there with his attorney, A. Lewis, and
Mr.. Gehr, who was one of the men who
was Interested originally in the prof.
ect, w. o. Smith, also, was present
in behalf of Mr. Peck. Mr.. Dillingham;,
one of the owners of the original fran
chise for the Hilo railroad, which fran
chise covers the ground occupied by
the Hilo- Kohala road, was seated be-
side Mr.. Dennison, his superintendent,
and for him appeared Mr.. l.. A. Thurs
ton. Mr.. C. NJ. Cooke occupied a chair
next to Mr.. Thurston, and Represen-
tative Carl Smith of Hilo came in
with Attorney General Andrews. Su-
perintendent Holloway and Treasurer
Campbell supported the Governor in
the interest of the Territory and the
public. and Secretary Creedon took
notes in short hand of the proceedings
Governor Carter said that he was
pleased to see so large crowd pres
ent, and called on Attorney Lewis fol
a statement of what was desired by
the Kohala-Hilo people. Mr.. Lewis. ir
rising, said that he would only say 6
few words preliminary to what was tC
be said by Mr.. Peck. The Kohala'
Hilo road was proposed to be built un
der a charter granted by the Minister
of the Interior of Hawaii on June 26
1899. This charter had been especial!
approved by President Mckinley oI
June %. 1900. The clause under whiol
the extension of time was desired wa
that which gave the Secretary of th'
Interior, and consequently his sue

Works, power to declare the charte
