Mrs. AIapai
Won / Go With
The Band
SAYS SHE WILL NOT GO UNDER
ANY CONDITIONS-TH SHE

Madame Alapai will not accompany
the Hawaiian Band
She made this positive announcement
at half-past one this afternoon
The announcement was not the result
of a failure of negotiations as to
terms, she says, but the result of
deliberate conclusion reached that she
would not go under the circumstances
on any conditions as to salary or other
consideration.
There might have been a different
conclusion on Saturday" said Madame
Alapai this afternoon though 1 have
felt all the time that Mr. Cohen was
bringing my affairs before the public
more than was necessary, or than he
had any right to. The matter was a
business proposal between myself and
my husband on one side and Mr.. Cohen
on the other. Because l did not accept
the terms he offered, and made a coun-
ter offer, he Immediately took the mat
ter before the public, seeking to put
me and my husband in a disadvantage
Gus light, seeking to represent that we
were grasping and unreasonable. Still,
up to Saturday l should not have al
of negotiations, and If what I consid-
cred a suitable offer had been made,
should have accepted it. But Mr.. Co
hen kept appearing in interviews to
seek to lead the public to believe that
1 was unreasonable in the position
took, and have therefore decided that
I will not go with the band under any
circumstances. 1 feel that no consid-
Grafton has been shown for my feel
ings, and very little for me as a sing
er. Therefore neither I nor my hus-
band will go. This is final"
Up to 1 o'clock this afternoon Mad
anne Alapafs name was still on the
booking list, indicating that Cohen at
that time had not given up all expecta-
ton that she would go.

SAID
RENT TOO HIGH
FOR HIM TO MAKE ARRESTS
"TECHNICAL" RULING BY KOO-
LAU OFFICIAL Is THE LIMIT.

Another complaint against Deputy
Sheriff George X. Kekauoha has been
filed with Sheriff Brown. Kekauoha is
in effect charged with ignorance. The
allegation as made to the Sheriff are:
Last Friday Kuihada who with some
natives has leased the fishing rights at
Kahana for 1910 yearly rental. were
told that Manu- and seven other natives
invaded their fishing rights and cap
tured about 5000 abules Deputy Sheriff
Kekauoha was hunted up and asked to
issue a warrant for the arrest of the
eight natives on charges of violating
the fishing rights of Kuihara and his
partners. But Kekauoha smiled and
said no. 1t was beyond his jurisdic-
ton. He said that the limit was too
high for him. IF the yearly rental for
the fishery rights haN been $500 then he
could take cognizance of the matter
and issue the desired warrants, but as
it was 1910 a year, that sum made it $40
over the limit of his authority and he
could do nothing. But he was very
sorry for the people who claimed that
their fishing rights had been invaded.
A representative of the lessee came
to Honolulu last Saturday and made
complaint to the authorities about the
matter They had a communication
drawn up making the allegations as
given, and presented to Sheriff Brown.
Seven natives who are partners with
Kuihara signed the document against
Kekauoha.
A warrant was issued this morning
by District Magistrate Dedby for the
arrest of the eight natives who are al
legged to have violated the fishing
rights of the Kahana lessees.
Sheriff Brown stated today that he
could assign no other reason for Ke-
kauOha's conduct, than that the Deputy
Sheriff had gotten confused in the mat
ter of the civil and criminal laws.
"There is no such thing as any limit of
amount in a criminal case said the
Sheriff. "Kekauoha probably thought
that as the law places $500 as the limit
of a civil action that can be brought
before a District Court. the same limit

The action of the Republican Counts
Committee in killing the following re.
solution at its meeting on Saturday
night was the political sensation and
puzzle of the day today:
Resolved, We, the Republican county
committee of oahu, in the interest of
the Republican party, do respectfully
request the assistance and support of
the business element in securing cam
didates for the coming campaign.
realizing that in order to strengthen
and maintain the Republican party in
this county, we must secure the nom
ination and election of good, suitable
candidates; and this committee pledges
itself to work for and support can
dtdates in whom the community will
have the utmost confidence"
The resolution does not appear to
mean anything very definite, except
that the Republican party wants good
candidates and "Why did you vote It
dOwn?' was the question asked of
members of the committee today. Ger
tainly no such thing as a party declar-
ing that it didn't want good candidates
was ever heard of before and the more
it was discussed the more the wonder
grew, that any party committee could
vote down a resolution to have good
candidates.
The explanation given is that the re-
solution didn't merely mean what It
seems to mean.
why did you down it?" was asked
this morning of one of those who help
ed to defeat It,
"Why it pledges us to support men
whom the business community names
and puts us in the control of the ele-
ment known as the Business Com
munity," was the answer.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1906-05-21

1T doesn't say So was the reply OF
the man who asked the question.
But that is what Hustace, who Of
fered the resolution said" was answer
ed He made it commit the party
to accept the business community
selections and this would be an inter
ference with the rights of the con-
vention. Moreover it was a haole'
proposition, 1t was regarded by the
Hawaiians as simply a move for a
'haole' ticket, and the county commit
tee didn't approve such a proposition"
What it really meant" said Col.
Zeigler of the committee, "was that
the party wanted the aid of business
men to the extent of allowing their en-
ployes to run, as, in the case Of w. w.
Harris, Levers and Cooke aided us by
allowing him to run, and we thereby
got good man in the legislature"
Other members of the committee say
the resolution was raw" In any
event it was voted down. though the
most careful reading Of it seems to
show only a wish for help in getting
good candidates Acting on their
suspicion that there was a joker in it,
the county committee of Oahu appears
to have broken a worlds record by a
formal rejection of proposition Of
asking help to get good candidates.
The general comment is that the
laugh is on the committee.
During the discussion of the resolu-
tion on Saturday evening the matter
of sheriff candidates came up. Hus-
tace, author of the resolution, was ask
ed what would happen if the Business
Community wanted Crabbe and the
committee wanted Brown The reply
was that a third man should be chosen.

Korea to Load
5000 Tons
Of Sugar
THE PACIFIC MAIL LINER WILL
TAKE OVER 5000 TONS OF SUGAR
FOR SAN FRANCISCO.

For probably the finest time in the
history of the Pacific Mail S. S. Com
panyI or certainly for the first time in
recent years, one of the through Ori-
entail liners of the fleet, is to take a
large shipment of sugar from this port
10 the mainland. The S. S. Korea which
arrived this morning from Yokohama
is to lie in this port until Wednesday
at noon, taking on special shipment
of 5000 tons of sugar. The vessel
should ordinarily leave Honolulu to-
morrow so she will get away a day be-
hind time. She can make up one day,
however, between this place and San
Francisco and so make the mainland
on time.
The reason for there being the special
shipment of sugar by the Korea is that
there is a shortage of bottoms to carry
sugar from these islands. The Oppor-
tunity of sending some by the Korea
presented itself so the necessary ar
rangements were made.
The vessel is discharging 1886 tons
of freight at this port brought from the
Orient, after which the loading of the
sugar will be commenced.
The Horn fleet is begin
ming to make its appearance one by
one. The ship Manga Reva arrived
this morning from Manila to load about
$500 tons. There are now five vessels
at island ports about to depart or to
start to loading sugar for the eastern
seaboard.

FREEZING WAS FATAL
SOLDIER DEAD AT FORT
HUNT, VA.
Sergeant in Unconscious Condition
The Men Were Crossing River
In Boat.

The cold wave which reached this vicin-
ity yesterday afternoon is responsible for
one death, if not two. Private Murnane of
the 9Th Company, Coast Artillery, station
ed at Fort Hunt, the Virginia side OF
the Potomac, opposite Fort Washington,
was found dead. and Sergt. Burroughs OF
the same company was badly frozen and
is now in a serious condition In the post
hospital at Fort Hunt
1t is stated that the two men had been
across the Potomac to Fort Washington to
visit comrades there About midnight they
started in a rowboat to recross the river to
Fort Hunt, where they are stationed In
some unknown manner, while In midstream
they lost their oars and drifted helplessly
in the face of the marrow-chilling north
wind and flying snow and sleet.
About $50 O'Clock this morning the row
boat containing the lifelesS form of Muir
name and Sergt. Burroughs, who was
conscious from the cold, was found lodged
against the bank at Moxy Point, fully three
quarters of mile from the place they
started from to cross the Potomac. The
and received medical attention as soon as
the military authorities could be notified.
The remains of the private were taken
charge of by the coroner of that locality.
The men had been adrift in the icy ele-
ments about six and a half hours. 1t Is
supposed that the hands of the oarsman be-
come benumbed by the cold and the oars
slipped from his grasp. Sergt. Burroughs
was removed to the Fort Hunt hospital by
order of Surgeon Hart as soon possible
after he had received first aid treatment at
Moxy Point

TRANSFER OF MILLIONS.
Chicago Manufacturers Adopt Retail
iatory Plan Against Local Bankers.


CHICAGO, January 9.-The transfer of
many millions of dollars of deposits from
Chicago banks to banks of Philadelphia,
Pittsburg. Kansas City, Milwaukee and
other cities yesterday developed as strIk-
ing mode Of retaliation which is under con-
sideration by individual members OF the
Illinois Manufacturers Association to fight
the tax on the collection Of out-of-town
checks instituted by the Chicago Clearing
House Association.
1t was stated by members of the manu-
facturers' organization that this kind Of re-
proof valiant had not been devised by the
members themselves, but had originated
with the banks of the other cities named,
which had been quick to improve the chance
to increase their deposits at the expense Of
Chicago institutions.
Investigation showed that for several
days number of banks outside of Chi
cago had been In communication with vari-
Gus local firms represented in the manu-
facturers association, both by correspond
with view to securing a share Of the
banking business of such firms handled at
present by Chicago banks.
The position taken by such outside banks
In most cases Is said to be characterized
by willingness to clear all checks sent
them without toll, provided they were given
a share Of the deposits at present held by
Chicago institutions.

ably would present his opinion as to the
legality OF the proposed toll on checks to-
day or tomorrow. the question Of legality
having been raised by the Illinois Manu-
facturers Association last Thursday.
In event that the clearing house associ.
alton declines to recede from its position

of out-of-town checks. Attorney Levy
Mayer has been authorized to take steps
to combat the charge and to begin legal
action, II necessary.
