WRIGHT'S BIG
EMBEZZLFMENT
Continued flom page One).

$4,000 would have been easy, and all
might have been well but for untimely
discovery
Wright was AT this time q member of
the executive council which was dis
cussing the ditch proposition, with a
view to granting franchise. f. S.
Boyd, the land commissioner who would
have had to issue the license had it
been approved, was an associate of
Wright and Boyd too. was later found
to be very mysttriOusly short His
shortage, for which he Is now serving IA
ten year sentence, has been estimated
at 100000, but there is apparently not IA
dollar to show for II. II was swallow
ed up in some unknown manner like
the Public Works shortage for which
another Wright also "A friend Of the
treasurer was the only sufferer The
only theory much discussed in connec-
ton with these big shortages has been
that the money went in politics, but the
sums are more than the political asso-
ciates of the men concerned have spent
in politics since annexation 10 the pre-
sent day.
The history of the fights for ditch
franchises in Kohala is a long one. and
the dream of getting the water now
being used had its origin many years
ago. The final result, after lengthy
hearings lasting over several years,
both here and in Washington. was that
the Kohala Ditch company consisting
of Hind, McCrosson, Sam Parker and
associates, formally bought the license
from the government and went tn work
to build their conduit
william II. Wright is now believed
to be in Mexico, engaged in business.
1t is regarded as quite qu0ssible that
had he been able to rush through
franchise and float his scheme, he might
have paid back the moRgy ne took and
made good.

THINKS ! AWAIT

ING OF THE EXPERT.

Il don't see that it is necessary now
to say anything about the Nuuanu
work in view of the fact that an expert
is coming to examine it," said Engi-
neer Rowland of the Public Works
Department this morning. I'VE may
as well wait until the expert looks into
the matter. AS long as doubts about
the safety of the dam have been made
public it is a good thing to have a
thorough investigation.
GAS far as Mr. Patterson's criticisms
are concerned. I can only say that they
do not impress me as calling for any
answed. do not regard Mr.. Patterson
as competent to judge the matter or
express an opinion. Is he an engineer?
No, I understand he is a mason by
trade"
Rowland stated that IN his opinion
the dam was all right and the plans
and specifications were or proper.
Among the various other reports cir
culated here about the dam was one

BOLD SAILORS
LEEI VESSEL

When the British ship Lord Temple
town arrived here last Sunday, 81 days
from Newcastle, she came with two
men of her crew missing. She also
came with her best dingy gone. The
disappearance of the men and the boat
was a coincident occurrence. They
stole the boat and skipped out to Ia
hiti
Two of the sailors wanted to leave
the ship and over a month ago while
she was within 30 miles of Tahiti, they
decided to make their way from the
ship. After stocking the best dingy
boat with some food, they lowered the
boat and got into it one night. The
captain and second mate were on the
poop deck at the time and they thought
the boat was a fishing craft that had
gotten into the course of the vessel.
They shouted to them to look out or
they would be run down by the vessel
AT that time the ship was not making
over four knots an hour, so when the
escaping sailors rowed away for the
land they were soon out of the way of
the vessel.
Some of the sailors aboard offered to
take another boat and go in search of
them but they rere refused this pri-
vilege for fear they might follow the
example of the escaping men. 1t was
not learned whether the pair succeeded
in reaching Tahiti or not.

that Auditor Fisher had held up bills
of an eastern engineer who made plans
for the work Auditor Fisher was ask
ed this morning about it and said that
he had withheld his approval of certain
warrants until a satisfactory certifi-
cate of labor performed had been given
The bills in question were those of II.
Walker, formerly of Hilo, brother-in-
law of Rowland, who was employed for
some time i'm drawing plans. Walker
left the islands before he had complet-
ed his maps and he finished the work
in the East.
When the bills came back they were
approved by Rowland and Holloway,
but Fisher refused to pass them on the
ground that there was not sufficient
evidence of hours of labor performed
away from Hinoluu. The bills were
sent East and came back with affida-
Wits, upon which Fisher passed them,
after the approval of Holloway and
Rowland had again been given.

"As l understand the proposition"
said Land Commissioner Pratt this
morning the forests were destroyed
by cattle The latter ate up all the
underground and gradually killed off
the trees, big ana lit1e. Formerly
these lands were benefited by frequent
showers and settlers prospered on them
The disappearance of the forests is,
as l understand, responsible for the
failure OF the rains"
The land in question is fairly level.
Much OF it forms a gentle slope to the
ocean and in the matter of climate It
is finely located, for a splendid breeze
blows over it from the Kohala noun
tains. There Is grass growing on II
now, and "A few cattle and sheep find
grazing. Close along the shore are a
few native homes, being mostly those
Of employees of the railway
"The land was all settled up once,
was the comment assed as the Kohala
ditch company party rode through the
district last Sunday, but the Hawai-
ians left or died out, the forests were
destroyed and the rainfall stopped and
now human being cannot support them
selves here at ALL"
In scores Of places can be seen from
the railway the remains of the stone
fences which once enclosed family
homes of which not another trace re-
mains.
1t is thought that scientific foresting
might reclaim much of the laind. 1t
is regarded as a settled scientific fact
that forests attract rainfall and hence
if the forests grew down on the lower
levels again, the rains might be expect
ed to return At any rate, the region
and its history are regarded as an ex-
celent illustration OF the need for care
ful forest preservation elsewhere.

William Bean Collects
a Pension Belonging
to Former Comrade
ADMITS HIS GUILT

William Bean, an elderly man, for
merly of Coulterville in this State, took
a step on the direct road to the peniten-
tiary yesterday when he admitted to
United States Commissioner Heacock
that he was guilty of having falsely
personated Frank Halstead in an ap-
plication for a pension from the Gov
ernment as a Civil War veteran. He
was accordingly held to answer before
the United States Grand Jury, with bail
fixed at $500. In default of furnishing
bonds he was sent to JAIL
The story of Beans downfall, as told
by United States Pension Examiner o.
L. Sues, is an interesting one. Bean
CouIterville on the outbreak of the
Civil War in 1851. They enlisted in
the same company, and in 1866 Bean
deserted at Yuma, Ariz., and returned
to Coulterville, where he continued to
live for many years, a close associate
OF Halstead, who had been honorably
discharged. Bean always urged Hal
stead to apply for pension, but Hal
stead said that 1t would be time enough
to do so when he became old and
needed the money. Bean drifted away
from the place, and when he heard a
false report of Halstead's death he took
the name of the supposed dead man
and applied for a pension. When ar
rested he had been drawing Sc per
month for three years in the name of
Halstead. Halstead recently applied
for a pension, and thus the fraud was
revealed.

Promotion Committee
to Send Truth to Edi-
tors Throughout East

The California Promotion Committee
has undertaken the immense task of
refuting the false statements made in
many Eastern newspapers and perfodi-
calls relating to the disaster here The
members of the committee believe that
these papers were imposed upon by un-
scrupulous correspondents They will
ask the editors to print the true con-
dition OF San Francisco and the sur
rounding country.
The paper which the committee saws
contained the worst canards is the
Chicago Journal One OF the articles
recently published in that paper is said
to have been of such nature as to
indicate malice on the part of the cor
respondent.
The following letter has been for
warded to the editor of the Journal:
In your issue of June 81 is an article
spondent" at San Francisco, in which
grave injustice is done to this city and
its business interests / am sure That
1t is not the intention of the Journal
TO be malicious and am convinced by
the tone and tenor of the article men
toned that you are imposed upon by
an unscrupulous correspondent. If you
Baltimore fire, you viii understand
that a city cannot be rebuilt in two or
three months. When the fact is taken
as evidence that San Francisco will
be rebuilt with shacks,' it seems that
the absurdity of the statement would
require no contradiction. / do not de-
sire TO take up the correspondents
statements in detail. but call attention
TO the closing paragraph where he
says: Nobody has money to rebuild
The whole situation is tense to the
breaking point"
When tell you that nineteen Glass
buildings. ranging from nine to
eighteen stories in height, are being re-
habilitated. and will be ready for oc-
cupancy by the first of the new year

Between 25,o0o and 80, 900 men are at
work on reconstruction in addition to
the thousands who are clearing away
the debris. 1t is estimated that 1000
car loads of debris are being carried
away every day. The fact that the
correspondent found so many cheap

people must be working there or the
provision for their comfort would not
be made.
