PHANTOM ARMY
FOR HAWAII
MAJOR VINCENT. DENIES THE IN
IN THE ADVERTISER.

"Of all the rot l ever read that sup
posed interview with me in the Adj
yertiser is about the worst" said Ma
jor F. c. Vincent of Washington, d. c.
this morning 1.-THE idea that, 1 sug-
gested that there would be fifteen or
twenty thousand troops sent here is
so absurd that there is hardly any use
talking about it beyond making a posi-
tive denial A reporter came to me
and asked me as to my business here
and that 1 refused to discuss, as 1 had
every right to do. On the afternoon of
the sailing of the Sierra reporters for
some of the San Francisco papers came
aboard seeking to interview me, but to
them as to others 1 had nothing to say
except as a private citizen.
Coming down on the ship in the
course of casual conversation the mat
ter of the strategic Importance of the
Hawaiian Islands came up and the
opinion was passed that a large body
Of troops would be useful in case of
emergency if stationed here. l made
some chance remark on the subject and
that is all. AS for making what the
Advertiser calls making startling ad-
missions or saying that the people of
Honolulu need not be surprised to see
$4,000 or 10000 troops here-well, there
is only one way to characterize that
sort Of thing.
1.-THE further suggestion that l am
here to pick out a suitable camp site
for this imaginary army is another
choicely foolish idea. 1 am not an
army man at ALL but l had the rank of
major of volunteers.
1T is of course apparent that if
had anything to do with such a mission
as has been suggested l would be do
ing the best in the way of defeating my
own ends by saying anything about it,
continued Major Vincent 80 l do not
suppose that any sane person who read
the article in the paper believed 1t at
all. 1t puts me in an absolutely wrong
light though and l shall be glad to
have it corrected"
Major Vincent is here purely on a
matter of pleasure and private busi-
ness, he says, and will be here for sew
Hotel and win be here for several
eral weeks. He refused to discuss his
business here this morning beyond
denying that he was the fore-Tunner Of
ali lilNdulllb army VI AVIuNV AAiNAt 80 I'VE
gested by the morning paper.
Despite the denials of Major Vincent
as to the authenticity Of his interview
there are many of his fellow passen-
gers by the S. S. Sierra in this city who
state that he openly proclaimed him
self to be a secret service agent ana
even stated directly that it was his
mission to acquire land here for the
accommodation of a large body of troops
"Of course don't know what he told
or did not tell the Advertiser" remark
ed one of the passengers today but he
certainly claimed to be in the secret
service, not to me alone but to many
others. talked to him about different
army reservations of land here and to
my surprise he did not know anything
about the places already reserved, l
thought this decidedly strange. l don't
know anything about the man beyond
what he told me himself but his Gu

TOMS RELEASE
WAS REGULAR

The Advertiser publishes the follow
ing regarding Sheriff Browns explain
alton of the circumstances of Tom
Pong's release shortly after being con-
victed in the police court of selling
opium without a license and being fin
ed $50 and costs:
That is eminently satisfactory, as
far as it goes, excepting in a few par
ticulars. For instance the Sheriff does
not state, among his facts, the very
important fact that while the man was
convicted in the forenoon, the mitimus
in his case was issued at 2:30 p m. of
the same day. The mittimus consign-
ed him at once to the custody of the
High Sheriff of the Territory. A strict
observance of the law would then make
the High Sheriff the only person COM
petent to order the mans release on
bond. And this being the law, what
right had Assistant Sheriff Vida to ac-
cept any bond? What right would
Sheriff Brown himself have to accept a
bond, under these circumstances? 1t
would seem, to say the least of it, that
thtre is a decidedly loose practice here,
which would be much better corrected
than in the case of Tom Pong"
The Advertiser is mistaken in stat
ing that the mittimus consigned Tom
Pong to the custody Of the High Sheriff
only. 1t was directed TO the High Sher-
if or his deputy, or to the County
Sheriff or his deputy.
Tom Pong was convicted in the fore
noon and his appeal was soon perfect
ed. He was sent down stairs in the
police station prison until after an
other Chinese had gone on his surety
in the sum of $50. After Assistant
Sheriff Vida approved that bond, Vida
gave orders for the release of Tom I'M
der the bond. The mittimus was not
issued until the afternoon. Tom Pong
was therefore In tht actual custody of
the County Sheriff until after he har
given a bond to secure his release.
Mittimusses are not issued immedi-
ately following convictions in the Dis
| trict Court, for the reason that the
| court clerk does not stop the business
of the court to make out mittimusses.
Had the mittimus been issued imme-
diately for Tom Pong, the man would
| have been found i'm custody down stairs
! i'm the police station He would also
have been found there in the event OF
his failure ~ secure a hondsman until
4 O'Clock I'm the afternoon as all pris-
| oners are kept at the police station I'M
| til that hour, when they are sent TO
the Oahu Prison into the custody OF
the High Sheriff. This is done in order
to make only one trip a day with the
patrol wagon. Had Tom Pong been
sent to Oahu Prison. he would have
had to give q bond to the High Sher-
| if instead of to the County police.

GRAND JURORS
IS DEFIED
GAMBLING INVESTIGATION BE-
COMES LIVELY AND Y. AMIN is
CITED FOR CONTEMPT.

State whether or not you are on this
31st day of January, A. ID. 1906, MAIN
tanning and conducting at Honolulu a
gambling game known as che fa?'
Il am afraid to answer, because it
might injure me-
The gambling investigation reached
a crisis in the Grand Jury room yester-
day afternoon in the asking and an
swering of the foregoing question, put
to Y Amin, who has long been reputed
to be a che ia leader:
The jurors had already had some
lively dialogues with Willie Crawford
during which it is said little informa-
/ ton was gained. Crawford was very
disgruntled man when called yester-
! day. IF they can't trust me as an in
! terpreter," he remarked why are they
! sending for me as a Witness"
| Crawford was probably an extra in
! teresting witness i'm one respect, for
! there is one member of the jury with
whom he once helped to start a che ia
game. 1t was a fake, hOwever,-a
blind" to catch fish during the days
when Halter was silently making his
| resutless investigation of the game
That's the only game l can tell 'em
about" said Crawford. Anyhow,
don't see what good my testimony is if
| they don't rely on me-
He went in, however, and remained
! for a considerable time, after which Y.
IAnin had a lively session which ended
| in the question and answer already
quoted. The jury took up the def, and
! this morning they filed into Judge
Lindsay's court with a request that the
! judge issue citation summoning
Amin to appear and answtr for con-
! tempt, for refusing to answer the ques-
| ton.
The request was in the form Of a
partial report setting forth the ques-
/ tiOn put to Amin and his reply and
! then asking the court to act.
Judge Lindsay asked Attorney Cen
eral Peters what action was wanted.
Peters replied that the Jurors wanted
a citation issued, returnable at two
| this afternoon, and he presented a form
of citation. After reading it Judge
Lindsay ordered a citation issued. and
. Y. Amin was served soon after, while
attending the Grand Jury in the Ex-
eCutive building.
Chung Nee Hing was the star wit
ness this morning. He is also suppos-
ed to know something about che Ia,
and especially about Anin's knowledge
of the alleged local games. Hing had
a long and lively session with the jury.
Amin waited outside during his testi-
mOny. Gus Cordes, former police Off
Ger and now a saloon man in the che
IA district, is another witness sum-
mOned.
Amin, it is claimed by the attorney
general, can be forced to answer the
direct question put to him, and the
court is asked to order him to do 50,
under penalty of contempt for refus-
ing. The Revised Laws contains the
following section on the subject:
NO person otherwise competent as a
witness is disqualified from testifying
as such concerning any offense COM
mitted under sections 3172-3173 (relat-
ing to gambling) on the grounds that
such testimony might criminate him
self, but no prosecution can afterwards
be had against him for any such Of
Tense concerning which he has testi-
fed"

NO TRACE OF WHITTIER.

Mariaville Man Who Disappeared
March 20, Still Missing.
No trace has been found OF George D..
Whittier, the Mariaville man whose dis
appearance on March % was reported in
THE AMERICAN last week.
Whittier was manager OF the Morrison
farm in Mariaville. Some years ago he
purchased farm in Eddington through
A. }. Merrill, of Bangor, paying for it by
installments. 1t was to make his final
payment on this farm and receive the
deed that he went to Bangor March q.
He drove to Ellsworth and took the
train here for Bangor. He registered at
| the Windsor hotel that night and the next
| evening at O'Clock called at Mr.. Merrill's
office for his deed. This was already made
out, not TO him, but to his brother-in law,
Grover. He took it and left the office,
saying that he intended to go to Els
| worth that night. There was no train,
however, so he went back to the Windsor
and again registered. The hotel was full
and he took room with George r. Crosby,
| of AEora, and r. C. Tourtelotte, whose
place of residence on the register is not
| legibie. He left the hotel the next morn
| ing, and here all trace OF him is lost.
When he called at Mr. MerrilI's office,
he had quite an amount of money
with him, over 800 in bills, and IT is this
fact that makes his family and Dr.
Morrison believe that some harm may
| have beiallen him. Whittier is a man of
genial disposition and easily makes friends
with people on the street.
Mr.. Merrill also said that he believes
that he had placed all his property in the
name OF his wife and brother in-law some
| little time ago, which would seem to dc
away with the theory that he had deliber-
ately left his business and family and gone
away. The deed to the farm in Eddington
was not recorded at the court house.
