his Hawaiian wife but she demurred.
She says that she refused to Condore
his act in getting married to another
woman. Chun tried to induce her and
Akana to go with him back to China
but she refused. Chun declared that
if she would not, he would let her go
to a warm place and would not give
her a cent.
She began through her attorneys r..
w. BreckOns and Henry Hogan an ac-
ton for divorce basing her grounds on
adultery from the alleged illegal mar
riage in China. She asks for main
tenance. Chun Poon was she claimed
going to depart for China by the Mon
golia and was converting his various
property worth at least 1000 into
cash, so she asked for a writ of ne
exeat. The writ was issued by Judge
De Bolt for service bail being fixed at
$4,000. Chup was arrested on the Mon
golia and brought ashore today.

UGLY SWELL
ABOUT MONGOLIA
HARD WORK GETTING THE PAS
SENGERS ABOARD THE BIG
STEAMER FROM LAUNCHES.

1t was 1870 o'clock this morning
before the last land bound passengers
left the S. S. Mongolia and the big
steamer got under way for the Orient.
Considerable difficulty was experienced
this morning in getting the various
passengers aboard the steamer. A
heavy swell was running and the va
rious launches had to be handled care
fully alongside the vessel. No acct
dents happened however. Yesterday
a woman who was a through passen-
ger slipped on the tug and hurt her
self but not seriously. Captain Porter
says that he will try and have a chair
rugged up next trip so that the pas
sengers can be lowered from the YES
sci to the launches and tug.
The cargo of the vessel this trip is
very extensive and some Of the pieces
are very heavy. An extra large boom
had to be put aboard the vessel for use
in discharging the heavy pieces from
the hold of the ship.
A number of lay over passengers
left by the vessel today. Among the
Honolulu people to depart was Willie
Vida who is going to Shanghai to ac-
cept position with his brother-in-law
W. Porter Boyd.
Baroness Won Meyernick was a
through passenger on the vessel.

GREAT ACTIVITY
NOW At WAINIHA
A NEW TRAIL HAS BEEN CON-
HAVE BEEN OPENED UP.

Wainiha shows somewhat the activity
of western mining camp. Three
stores and a coffee shop or two are to
be opened and money which has been
an exceedingly rare article in that COM
munity is more or less in evidence.
Like a mining camp also the outcome
will probably be disastrous to the rash
investors who will put in more money
than they will take out.
The trail to the Kauai Electric Com
pany camp at Maunahina is now open
to horseback travel and is a great inn
provement on the old trail in the bot
tom of the valley.
In view of the activity at Wainiha
wagon road is very much needed be-
tween that point and Hanalei. The 9TH
er day it was necessary to transport a
stove to Wainiha. 1t was too heavy to
put on a pack animal So the ingenious
master of transportation cut a forked
section of a tree for a rude sled tied the
stove on, and set out dragging 1t from
the pommel of his saddle. After vari-
our adventures and haid breadth es-
capes to the stove he got there"
There is a big demand for citizen la
Dor in the Hanalei district for the road
work and many Hawaiians to whom
actual work was only a hazy memory
of bygOne days have responded to the
demand. We understand they are get
ting a dollar a day and board.-The

SUSAN MADE SOME
STARTLING CHARGES
CLAIMED SPOUSE WANTED HER
TO GO TO JAPAN AND ENTER
HIS HAREM.

A libel suit of rather amusing char
acter and also possessing considerable
interest i'm local police circles, has been
filed by Susan Chun Poon against Chun
Poon in the circuit court. Susan is a
native woman while the libellee was
formerly a valued member of the po-
lice force. In fact Chun Poon was
one of the best Chinese detectives on
the force. Susan claims in her libel
that she and the defendant were mar
ried about November Z, 1901 at Homo
lulu. BY this marriage they had no
children but she was already the moth
er of two children Akana and All
Tung.
In 1903 Chun Poon left for visit
to China taking with him about 100000
made by him during their marriage
All Tung was taken with him. Dur
ing his absence in China near Hong
Kong he married a Chinese woman
with whom he lived and for whom he
built a $12O 900 residence. The libellee
returned to Honolulu in June 1904. He
wanted to resume his relations with

in favor Of such q plan as will give
to our children the books best adapted
to their wants, at the very lowest prices

This can BIO done by ollitting from
our present list tho least desirable books,
and substituting for them those cover
Ing the same subjects, md which arc
most largely used In the State and and best ea
suited for our wants.
This would bring us to- a straight single

at less cost than, any other plan that
has been suggested. particularly y the
changes are made. as they ought to PC,
