LAND SETTLERS
GETTING TIRED
NATIVES IN LINE AT THE LAND
OFFICE SHOW EVIDENCES OF
HARD WATCH.

Two more applications for the pubic
lands to be sold at auction next We'd
nesday were received this morning by
Acting Land Commissioner Lyons.
The applicants for the 999-year leases
are still holding their places in line at
the door of the land office. They are
beginning to have a decidedly tired and
sleepy appearance, but they hold on
to their posts. The men and women all
slept on the floor last night. Meals
are brought to them,
This morning duringa part of the
time there were MI six at the door in
stead of nine as formerly. The others
had not given up, but had left tenn
porarily, leaving others in charge of
their places. Those who remained
spent the time dosing.
There are five more nights to be
spent before the day of filing the APP
plications for the much-desired lots.
1t is thought that the number of ap-
phcants will increase before the day
comes. The Judiciary building is a
bad place for mosquitoes, and it is a
hard weeks work to stay on watch
day and night, hence those who have
been on the spot for the past couple OF
days are paying quite a price for get
ting their choices among the lots.

No one has succeeded so far in get

granting Of a liquor license under the
such protests. In all the cases in
which residents and property owners
have tried TO stop issuance of licenses
the protests have had to be turned
down as the necessary number of sig

be protesting.
Treasurer Campbell has issued Ii

County Treasurer payable to Frazee

1t is to be presumed that the Super

Moore and Paele, will formally dissent
upon which the majority will then pass
such resolution as may be presented.
The next move will be the formal
presentation of the Auditors warrant

"A special session of the Oahu Board
of Supervisors has been called for $3.50
this afternoon for the purpose of prop
erly arming the County Attorney in his
proceeding for the submission of a
stated case to the Supreme Court in
the matter of the legality of blanket
warrants. AS the Star has already
noted, the idea of proceeding by man
damus against the County Treasurer
with a view to compelling him to sign
such warrants as the Board of Super
visors may authorize issued has been
abandoned for the reason that delay
and friction may be avoided.
AS arranged, the formal demand for
what technically would be a blanket
warrant has been made on the Board
by w. l.. Frazee for the sum of $14. 20
for expenses incurred by him as Sup
erintendent of the Police and Fire
Alarm system of Oahu during July.

HONOLULU, February 19.-John P.
Spaulding, assistant postmaster at Ko-

placed under $4,000 bonds. in connec-
ton with the huge shortage of $27, 1856
in the Koloa postoffice funds, is a
young half-white of intelligent appear
ance Postmaster Rego was arrested
last week.
The method by which the postoffice
was successfully robbed of $27 1856, if
not of more than that, was delightfully."-
simple, and amazingly stupid if newt
able results are taken into account. 1t
has been generally assumed that the
operations were successful because
large business had been done by the
Japanese in remitting money by the
poStOffice order system. This, it now
transpires, is not in accord with the
facts. The Koloa office did big post
office order business, it is true, but
most of it was utterly fictitious. 1t
was necessary for postmaster Rego TO
make his returns every week, and this
he did. The return sheets, typewriter
by Spaulding and signed by Rego,
came forward regularly enough show
| ing certain balances. Checks on BiSh-
op &, Co. and on the Bank of Hawaii
would accompany the statement each
week, but Immediately before the send
| ing of the statement Rego or Spaulding
would SEND TO one Oh the T0putdDlt
| firms here punches of postoffice orders

/ balance over, with instructions TO have
| the balance SO left over deposited to
! the credit of Rego in one Of the banks.
| Then. when the check sent the postof-
| flee people here was presented there
| would generally but not invariably, be
/ funds enough to cover 1t.
| To what extent these operations were
carried on may be understood from the
| fact that on December 3, 1904 no less
| than s10,650 in fraudulent postoffice or
/ ders was sent from Koloa to Honolulu.
OF course the end was bound to
come The amount of the shortage
kept growing and growing, and the
system of covering up could not be
/ pursued indefinitely. The names Of
both Rego and Spaulding are affixed to
! fraudulent orders now in the hands of
the Federal authorities. Rego claims
| that the books of his office have not
been examined for two years. He has

Two Honolulu men, j. c. Abreu, for
merly a clerk employed by Rego in his
| store at Koloa, and Guilherme Pereira,
called also Brilhante, who is a stone
mason and Regos brother-in-law, have
also been arrested and placed under
$4,000 bonds. The warrants upon
which they were taken into custody
charge them with presenting for pay
ment to a disbursing officer of the
United States money orders that had
been issued by collusion and fraud.
