PASSENGERS WERE
LEFT BY MONGOLIA
ABOUT IA MEN CAME ASHORE THIS
MORNING AND WE'RE NOT PER-
MITTED ABOARD AGAIN.

About fourteen passengers on the S.
5. Mongolia were left behind in this
port by the steamer today, 1t was
charged that they had violated the in
stcuctions regarding the quarantine Of
the vessel and so were not permitted to
return to the vessel.
NJ ost of the men were members of the
crew of the Pacigc Mail Steamship
Barracuda which was captured by
the Japanese off Sakhalien Islands, on a
charge of carrying contraband of war.
They, in company with some other pas
sengers in the steerage, left the steam
er and came ashore. They claim that
they had not been told they were to re-
main aboard, but when they went to the
gate of the Hackfeld wharf this morn
ing to return to the steamer, they were
| informed that they would not be allow
ed aboard
They sent word to the officers of the
vessel, but got no satisfaction and were
told in effect that they had made their
beds in Honolulu and that they would
have to lie in them, so far as the Mon
golia was concerned. They were charg-
ed with violating the quarantine order
as the steerage passengers were not
permitted ashore. There was nothing for
them to do but to allow the steamer
to go away without them.
Some of them applied to E. M. Wat
son asking if they could not prevent the
departure of the steamship, but Watson
advised them that the only redress they
might have, lay in an action for dam
ages, The men claim that they have
been dumped on the town practically,
for few of them have any means. 1t is
stated that they will be allowed to re-
sumo their voyage to San Francisco by
the next steamer from the Orient.

.INTER-ISLAND
CLAIMS $4,000
AS ITS SHARE IN PULLING THE
OFF DIAMOND HEAD REEF.

The Inter-Island Steam Navigation
Company has at last put in a claim
for salvage against the French ship
Ernest Reyer. The company has
named $4,000 as the amount of money
that the services of the steamers Like
like and Niihau are worth for assisting
in pulling the ship off the the Diamond
Head reef. The company has had
the matter of the amount of salvage
under consideration for some days
and it was only yesterday that a final
decision in the matter was reached.
]. A. Kennedy the president and gen.
eral manager of the company was ask
ed this morning regarding the report
and stated that he had nothing to say
for publication on the subject. "The
matter is in the hands of the attorneys
of the company" he said land thy
are now looking after our interests"
The sum named by the Inter-Island
is the same as that claimed by the
tug Fearless. 1t is probable that there
will have to be some tall old dickering
before the Gains are finally adjusted.
The local agents and the captain of
the French ship are not disposed to
pay any large claims for salvage. 1t
is understood that they claim that the
vessel was in no imminent danger at
the time she was on the reef.

FEAR SUGAR OF
THE PHILIPPINES
SAYS NO MORE WILL
BE SPENT ON PLANTS UNTIL
RESULTS ARE SEEN.

DENVER, (Col), October 1--we
will not spend another dollar in Colo
RADIO until we discover what effect the
Importation of Philippine sugar, if it
is imported will have on the situation"
That is the positive statement of
H. o .Havemeyer, president of the
sugar trust, who, with Colorado sugar
makers, left this morning on a tour OF
inspection of the sugar plants of the
State.
I'VE have discovered through the re-
port of Aaron Grove that sugar can
be raised in the Philippines and laid
down in the port of New York at 1
cent a pound. We can't compete with
that sort of thing" said c. S. Morey
of the Great Western Sugar Company.
Here are some of the facts that
Havemeyer asks the citizens of the
State to ponder over: '"The average
wage for the common labOrer on Anne
rican sugar-beet farms is 81 so to 50, so
day. The average wage on the Phil
ippines sugar plantations is so cents a
week, Mexican money, and "a supply of

AHOT TIME
LEADING COUNSEL THE PARKER RANCH CASE SPEND THE
MORNING IN A SHARP EXCHANGE OF QUESTIONS AND AN
swERs-KINNEY HAIAKUA DITCH CO.'S
INTERESTS WERE

The livelest hearing yet in the Par
ker Ranch case took place this morn
ing when w. A. Kinney proceeded with
the cross-examination of ]. Alfred Ma
goon. 1t was give and take all morn
ing. Kinney started out to show that
behind the plan to proceed against
Guardian Carter of Annie T. K. Parker,
minor the real influence was rather the
wishes of the Hamakua Ditch Com
pany than consideration for the inter-
ests of the minor, also to show that
Magoon was acting as counsel for both
the minor and Sam Parker, though their
interests were hostile.
The first questions asked related to
the right of the mother of the minor to
act as next friend. 1t appeared that in
securing the appointment of j. S. Low
for the purpose of bringing the suits as
next friend the mother had not been
consulted. Magoon admitted her right
to act but said that Low also had
right to act. There was no impropriety
in Low taking the matter up.
Did you not recognize that the
mother had the first right to act in
such a matter?" ascked Kinney.
"There is no first right about it," said
Magoon. "The court would recognize
anybody who had a right to act, wheth-
er it was the mother or a first or fourth
cousin or an entire stranger. The in

Next Year
REFINERY WILL BE-
GIN OPERATION NEXT MARCH,
WITH THREE HUNDRED MEN.

MARTINEZ, October 13.-Oficial an
nOuncement was made today that the
immense sugar refinery at Crockett
will be opened and placed in active
operation on the 1st of March 1906
This mill will employ upward of 300
operatives, will be one of the most i'm
portant industries of this county and
win give a tremendous boom to the lit
tie town of Crockett.
The Crockett refinery is the property
of the California and Hawaiian Sugar
Refining Company, which is controlled
by a number of wealthy Hawaiian su-
gar men. The plant is considered the
most nearly perfect in the entire world
it's size considered, and its operation
will work a vast change in the situa-
tion of affairs at Crockett. What is
now a thriving farming community
will become the home of a great in
dustry, and with the many scores of
outsiders who will be necessitated to
reside there because of their employ
ment great property boom is expect
ed to begin.

IN COALING
VESSELS
L. MARKS LEFT FOR MAINLAND
TO-DAY FOR PURPOSE OF TRY
ING TO SECURE PATENT

Louis Marks departed today by the
s. s. Mongolia to be absent about
seven weeks on the mainland. He is
going for the purpose of trying to
secure a patent on a new mechanical
contrivance for handling coal rapidly
on vessels. His apparatus will put
Goa into a ship at the rate of 100 tons
an hour and is said by those who have
had the details of the mechanism ex-
planned to them, to be a very ingenious
thing. Should Marks secure his pa
tent and put the machine on the mar
ket it will prove of the utmost benefit
to the steamship people, especially as
the coaling which now requires a large
force of men, can be done with linn
tied number of stevedores and in much
faster time

KAUAI MAN WHOSE FRIENDS

One of the San Francisco Examiners
of recent date has a sensational story
about DR.. Knudsen, formerly of Kauai
and a brother of the speaker of the
House. The doctor is said to have
gone out of his head, and was arrest
ed, it is stated, while running on the
streets of Harlem en- dishabille, and
throwing money and jewels away. He
left here recently, after being under
medical attendance some time.
. On Kauai proceedings have been
begun to have the doctor placed under
guardianship. This was before the
New York episode. He was engaged
to be married here, but the engagement
was called off, as stated in The Star
two days ago. Knudsen's friends fear
that he has become insane.

terests Of the minor are what the court
looks at"
Magoon said he recognized that the
courts pay close attention to the wishes
of father or mother in such a matter
There was no legal reason for putting
in his petition the reasons why the
mother had not been consulted, which
were that she was biased in favor of
the guardian.
'Was there any motive to conceal the
matter from her?"
"None whatever. 1t would have been
impossible, for she was named in the
pleadings."
THAT was after the appointment Of
Low had been secured, was it not?"
Magoon replied in the affirmative.
Magoon said in answer to questions
that there was no design or motive in
keeping the proceedings from the moth
ed. He denied that he had feared that
she would oppose the appointment of
Low, and said the court would not hear
a controversy as to who should be a
next friend. 1t never occurred to him
that she would protest, and if he had
secured any advantage by not notifying
her of what he was doing, such advan-
tage was inadvertently secured.

From figures complied ut the begin.
ming of the new year it appears TINT
there are in the United States some
thing over 100000 members OF
Christian churches and that in the
year Just closed the churches have add
ed nearly 100000 to their numbers.
This increase is somewhat larger than
that of the preceding year, and nearly
all religious bodies benefit by 1t. The
number of churches has increased in
the last year by 2,310, and there are
1,674 more ministers than in the previ-
Gus year. 1t is worthy Of notice that
the increase in the ministry does not
keep pace with the increase of
churches, and at the present time lead
ers in all religious bodies are seeking
solution Of the ministerial problem,
trying to ascertain why the ministry
does not attract the young men of to-
day as it did those of former years.

Pundita Ranabai.

That new woman Of India, Pundita
Rainabai. deplores the spread of the SO
called Hindoo philosophy among the
women of America. She says If they
really knew what it means they would
spurn it as degrading and demoraIiz-
ing. Ramabai certainly knows, for she
studied 1t till she became pundita.
She next came to America and In Phil
adelphia acquired the learning freeborn
American women are permitted to get.
Then Miss Ramabai FASTENED back to
her own land to help the hapless fe-
male sex there. To enable her better
to do this she studied medicine in the
United States. Her labors are espe-
cially among the despised. hopelessly
outcast widows Of India.
At Poona, India, the pundita main
tains school for girls, and in this
school are 800 child widows. In India,
the pundita tells us, there are about
10000 child widows, some Of them no
more than four years old. A widow Of
any age In India is accursed, social
outcast SO long as she lives. 1t is con-
sidered, indeed, that she has no bust
ness to be living still on earth when
her husband may be needing her to
cook for him and wait on him in heay-

for her to do under the circumstances
is to die. SO she can go and be the
