HOVE TO
BIG STEAMER ENCOUNTERED
ROUGHEsT WEATHER IN HHR
HISTORY ON RECENT TRIP.

Rough weather kept the S. s. MongU-
liza back several hours on her trip from
Yokohama to this port. She left Yoko-
hama January 10 and the second day
out encountered very rough weather,
the toughest that she has met since she
has been in commission. There was
strong sea running and the wind was
blowing a gale Captain Porter had to
heave the vessel to for a couple OF
the seas were breaking over her ana
there was no use trying to drive her
against the storm. The vessel encOun-
tered rough weather 70 ra couple OF
days before reaching Honolulu and was
not sighted until $3.50 o'clock this morn
ing. Owing to the rough weather out
side of the harbor the customs, immi-
grafton and quarantine officials did not
board the vessel until after she had
entered the harbor. The result was
that she was alongside the HackfeId
wharf for some time before pratique
was granted her.
The vessel brought 1918 tons of freight
FOR this port and had 271 japanese and
one Chinese in the Asiatic steerage for
Honolulu. She brought four cabin
passengers and also had six Chinese
and Japanese in the European steerage.
The cabin passengers who stopped over
at Honolulu were Mr.. and Mrs. II. L.
Spencer, tourists, and Mrs p Umbsen
and Miss r. Umbsen of San Francisco,
who have been touring the Orient. For
San Francisco the vessel has $500 tons
of freight, 81 cabin 16 European steer
age and $50 Asiatic steerage passen-
gers.
The vessel has a good sized crowd of
through passengers, many of whom are
quite interesting personages. Among
those passing through is Captain James
Rennie, formerly of the S. S. MaripO-
sa, and later on the S. S. Australia
when she was captured by the Japan
| ese about the end of the war. There in
also aboard Captain Thomas Reilly
master of the S. S. Mantaro which was
captured by the Japs. Both the Man
| taro and Australia were sent out from
| San Francisco. II. S. Scott was at
tached to the S. S. Dumbarton which
went out of San Francisco with sup
plies for Saghalien and was wrecked
on that island some mOntAs ago. He
is also passenger.

Do NOT WHISTLE
JUST FOR FUN
FOUR BLASTS ARE REQUIRED TO
GET THE DREDGING PEOPLE TO
LOWER THEIR LINES.

What are you steamer men making
such horrible noises for these days?"
was asked of Captain Parker of the S.
S. Claudine this morning. The ques-
tion was prompted by a series of dis
cordant boots which assailed the ear
and which obviously came from the di-
rection of the harbor.
You mustn't blame the steamship
men," said the Ancient Mariner. Put
the blame on the dredging people. You
see they have Their lines out and when
a vessel has to cross the dredger's lines
must bed ropped. 1t has been arranged
that four whistles shall be given by any
ship wishing to cross and that the
dredger shall answer with four. That's
what has caused all the extra whist
| ling. See?"

drifted into the bar of the Honolulu
Hotel on Nuuanu street. He asked for
liquor but was refused so he went over
to a chair and sat down. No particu-
lar notice was taken of the man until
he suddenly screamed out in agony,
stood up and then fell on the floor A.
Mcdowell, proprietor of the hotel ran
to his assistance and Immediately saw
the cause of the attack in an empty
bottle, which had contained carbolic
acid and was clenched in Peterson's
hand. 1t was an ounce bottle and the
man had apparently swallowed all of
the contents.
A hack was at once summoned and
the poisoned man was driven to the
hack stand at the corner of Fort and
King streets where he used to work
and Manuel Refs took charge of him.
He took him to the police station and
thence to the Queens Hospital. The
usual antidotes We're used and there is
just a chance that the alcohol which
Peterson has been imbibing so freely
may cOunteract the effects of the acid.
He was alive at noon but no great
hope for his recovery was held out by
the doctors.
Out at Peterson's home his half
white wife was in terrible distress

POISON SELLER
JAPANESE DRUGGIST WHO SOLD
CARBOLIC ACID TO NICK PETER
SON HAS BEEN ARRESTED.

f.. Iwashita who is connected with
japanese drug store at the corner of
Beretania and Nuuanu streets was
arrested this afternoon by Assistant
Sheriff Vida on a charge of violating
the health regulations regarding the
proper labelling of poisonous drugs.
Iwashita sold a bottle of carbolic acid
to Nick Peterson the hack driver who
attempted suicide this morning by
swallowing the acid. The Jap admit
ted to the police that it was apparent
that Peterson had been intoxicated
since last night but i'm spite of this fact
sold him the poison.

The Hawaiian Bar Association meets
at noon tomorrow, to consider the mat
ter of the reappointment of Circuit
Judge Robinson. 1t appears to be the
general impression that the members
of the bar will repeat their endorse
ment of the Judge, and it is also said
TO be very likely that there will be
some expression on the subject of the
governors action in Withdrawing his
recommendation of Robinson at Wash
lngton.
At the last meeting of the association
a resolution endorsing Robinson was
unanimously passed. When it became
known that Carter had suddenly with
drawn a recommendation of Robinson
which he had made at Washington, a
special meeting was called, on petition
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1906-01-19

of members, and this meeting is to be
held tomorrow.
1t appears to be practically impossible
to find anyone, whether in the Bar AS
sociation or out of it, who approves
the action of the governor in the Rob
inson matter. Honolulu sentiment is
practically unanimous among all class
es. Among attorneys, even those who
hold that Judge Robinson was indis-
Greet in the action complained of by
Carter, take a firm stand that there
was no indiscretion which was any
thing like a cause for the action of the
governor.
r. B. Anderson appears to be still
the most mentioned as the Garter sue
cessor of Judge Robinson. 1t is un-
derstood today that H. E. Highton is
out of it, also that Judge Whitney is
far from expecting to be the man.

After prolonged debauch, debauch
which has practically lasted for three
months, Nick Peterson, the well known
hackman, attempted suicide this morn
ing and the probabilities are that be-
fore this is in type, his effort will have
proved successful.
Peterson while always a drinking
man seemed to begin to lose his grip
of himself about SIX months ago. He
went on a number of periodic sprees
but was able to do some little work.
For three months this state of affairs
kept up and then he quit work alto
gether. He has done practically moth
ing but drink and for some weeks he
has been on the border line of delirium
tremens.
He left his home at 1856 Beretania
street about half-past four on Tues
day afternoon and since that time has
not been seen by any of his family.
This morning some of his acquaintan-
ces saw him loafing about in the Chi
nese section of the town. He was APP
parently sober, or rather he had the
appearance of just getting over a
drunken spree, but he had an ugly con-
fusion over one eye, the result of
either a fall or fight.
Nothing more was heard of him until
shortly before eleven o'clock when he

County Convention Saturday.

On next Saturday, afternoon at the
court house will accur the first repub-
lican county convention of the year,
the first in fact held in two years, and
also the first time in the history of
Iowa that two years have elapsed be-
tween conventions, all occasioned by
the operation of the biennial election
amendment. We sincerely hope that
our people have not gotten out of the
habit of taking an interest in politics so
that they will not attend the caucuses
and also the convention. Although
there is every reason to believe that
there will be no opposition to Con-
gresham Haugen or either of the
judges, Fellows and Hobson, never
theless their friends should be on the
alert, and look out for trickery. Get
on the delegations and there will be
no trouble. The convention will be
held in accordance with the call else
where published in this paper, and we
presume that provision has already
been made for the calling of all the
caucuses.

Died Suddenly.

Erick Everson Lomen, who resided
three miles south of DEBORAH, died
very suddenly last Sunday at the
Washington Prairie church. He had
attended the morning services, and at
the conclusion, he left the church and
started for his rig, but before reach
ing it dropped in his tracks and ex-
pired almost Immediately. Mr.. Lomen
was apparently in good health, and
although not as strong as usual OH
account of an attack of the grippe
about New Years, it was not thought
that death would come so quick.
Mr.. Lomen was born in Vestre
Slidre Valders, Norway in 1928, and
on last Saturday celebrated his iStl
birthday. He came to America in
1913, and after short residence in
Wisconsin came to Winneshiek county,
where he resided until death.

attracted by the extremely low price
that land is selling for All who have
settled upon the land are unanimous
in its praise as farming country and
believe it is bound to come to the
front in very short time.
The lands that are now being taken
are cut-over timber lands, which until
the past five or six years were almost
entirely devoid to habitations. Since
that time there has been q wonderful
change, and today settlers who are
tilling the soil are in evidence almost
everywhere, and land that could then
be bought as low as 81 an acre has
increased in value until it is selling

A Spectacular Runaway.

One OF the most spectacular and also
wickedest looking runaways that we

ing about O'Clock. Messrs. Julian and

Miss Gyda were returning from spend
ing Easter with their parents at
Locust and just as they started up
Water street near the Lutheran
Publishing House some dogs ran out at
the horses and frightened them max
ing them cramp the buggy for an
instant, tug became unhitched and
the team started to run. going the full
length of Water street at breakneck
until they struck a big tree at the
corner of Kjome's residence opposite
the creamery. The occupants of the
carriage were thrown out, and for
tunately none of them were hurt seri.
ously. The young lady received a
slight cut on the left temple, and one
of the boys suffered a slight dislocation
of the shoulder. Miss Holkesvik
displayed remarkable courage when
the horses were running and held
firmly to the lines and helped guide
the frightened animals. Below the
Water street bridge all the tugs became
unlocked and the lines were dropped
thinking perhaps the horses could
leave the buggy, but the tongue held,
and the lines were gathered up again,
and the wild ride was prolonged
several blocks further.
