The Maui news. [volume] (Wailuku, Maui, H.I.) 1900-current, 1905-01-21

A newspaper whose columns over
flow with ads of business men has
more influence in attracting atten-
tion to and building up city or
town than any other agency that
can be employed. People go where
there is business. Capital and labor
will locate where there is an enter
prising community. No power on
earth is so strong to build a town
as a newspaper well ratronized.
You can judge a merchants bust
ness by the amount of advertising
he does.

the main developments of the inves-

The identity Of the woman who is
fleeing from justice with San Francis
co.'s fugitive Tax Collector is no longer
zen of the half world, of whom he be-
came enamored several months ago in
Los Angeles, and for whom he has
shown an insane devotion for a number
of weeks. Smith and Leona Brooks left
this city week ago yesterday on the
Sunset Express, at 5:45 p. m. They had
transportation as far as Los Angeles,
but 1t was learned yesterday that they
remained in the city of the Angels
only during the scheduled stop of the
train and proceeded with it eastward
The exact destination of Smith and
his compaion is not yet definitely
known to the police and the railroad
officials. but from the remarks made by
himself and the Brooks woman it is to
be inferred that the fleeing Tax CoIlec-
tor had some point remote from the
possibilities of capture in view, but had
allowed his companion to believe that
they were going to Mexico on a pleas
ure trip. A local railroad official was
innocently instrumental in furthering
Smiths plans for escape. he having

SON TAKES
BRIDE TO LODGING-HOUSE

DENVER, April 27.-Samuel s.
Reymer, son of Jacob S. Reymer, the
millionaire Pittsburg confectioner, who
stirred Pittsburg society by eloping
with a dancing girl, was found in Dem
yer this morning in a rooming-house
at 215e Stout street. Efforts have
been made to find the runaways in
every large city In the country and
Denver was thoroughly searched, but
so well had young Reymer hidden
himself that he was not discovered un-
til to-day.
Mr.. and Mrs. Reymer came straight
to Denver after the secret Pittsburg
wedding and have been boarding in
cheap boarding house on Stout street.
Every effort has been made to keep
their arrival here private and the
landlady OF the boarding-house was
given instructions to admit no one to
their presence. 1t was reported that
Reymer was seriously i'll from q severe
cold and finally he appeared and de-
MED the statement The young man also
denied that his father had disinherited
him, as reported, and said his father
knew he was wooing the girl, who was
Miss Millie Paris.
Reymer insists he has sufficient
money for his needs and says he is
here to engage in business for him.
self. He denied that his bride accom-
panied him. also that she was a dane
ing girl, saying that she worked in a
Pittsburg dry goods store before the
wedding. 1t was learned, however.
tnat Mrs. Reymer is here and not
with her parents, as her husband
stated.
The father of the young man is
worth $4,000, 900 and the son was heir
to half of this sum. It has been stated
that his angry father disowned him.

PARIS, April 27.-No little sensation
has been caused in Paris by the Call
Herald Caracas special cable trans
mitted to the European edition of the
Herald, regarding the charges made
against First Assistant Secretary of
State Loomis. The Temps last evening
reproduced the Call-Herald dispatch
and added the following version of the
alleged scandal-a version which, says
the Temps. has been obtained from pri-
vate sources and was current in the
foreign legations in Caracas:
-Four or five years ago the New
York and Bermudez Asphalt Company
and another American company, the
Warner -Quinlan Company, had a dis
pute regarding the possession of the
great asphalt lake, Felicidad, and had
lawsuit over II before the Venezue-
Ian courts.
The Bermudez company obtained
the support of the American legation
and won its case. but this result was
obtained, it is alleged. only by means
of a check for $4,000 paid to the
American Minister at that time-Mr.
LoOmis.
subsequently an agent Of the Ber-
mudez company displeased his en-
ployerS and was dismissed. Before leay-
ing his post he obtained possession of
the check, which had been paid and
duly indorSed, and the correspondence
relating to it, the whole constituting a
dossier, which enabled this person, a
man named Garner, to promise Presi-
dent Castro the support of the State
Department in Washington against the
New York and Bermudez Asphalt Com
pany, because, Loomis being COM
promised, it would be powerless to act
President Castro, strong in the
knowledge of this scandal. dispossessed
the Bermudez company and offered an
uncompromising resistance to the pro-
tests OF the Americans.
Thus may be explained the defiant
attitude OF the Venezuelan dictator as
regards the United States and the sub
missive attitude Of the latter power"
WASHINGTON, April 27.-It was re-
ported here tonight that the true rea-
son for the Presidents determination
to curtail his hunting trip and hurry
back to Washington was that he was
deeply concerned over the Loomis-
Bowen scandal and intended to lose no
time in probing 1t to the bottom.

around in his chair he told his visitor
that he was exceedingly anxious to go
TO Los Angeles that night and wanted
the railroad man to try to get him
drawing room on the Sunset Express.
The railroad man had frequently
obliged Smith by getting him drawing
rooms on the trains to Portland. Reno
and Los Angeles, and hurrying down
town he attempted to secure drawing
room on the evening southbound train.

that the accommodations had been Sc
cured for Thursday nights train. Early
Thursday Smith called at the office of
