Hotel, the same ones are evidently. at
work. On Sunday morning the outside
door leading into the bedroom of Mr..
and Mrs. Mcdowell was forced open,
the catch being slipped back by knife
or thin instrument pushed through the
crack. In this room nothing of value
was secured, the occupants having
learned from previous experiences not
to leave money or iewelry where it can
be found by nocturnal visitors.
The thief also visited two other
rooms, entering the window of one of
the dodgers and getting away with his
watch. In the third room nothing was
taken. the only evidence of his pres
ence during the night being the broken
window latch.
Three weeks ago one of the women
dodgers was startled to find on awaken
ing in the night that a burly Porto
Rican was in her room. She screamed
for help and the Intruder jumped out
of the window and decamped. AS in

learned the futility or expecting any
help from that quarter, either in the
way of protection or of the recovery of

If YOU want to organize for settling
an a fine tract of land you may have
the chance given the Molokans-or a
better one
1t is not true that land settlement
privileges were offered to the Molokans
which were and are not available to
Portuguese, Or Americans, or Hawaii
ans, or any people eligible to Ameri-
can citizenship.
1t is not true that the Molekans were
zInder alien disability of acquiring pub
lie lands, for before coming here they
had taken out their first papers for
citizenship.
1t is not true that the government
gave the Molokans lands, as 1t only
contracted to give them lands under
certain conditions at a future time. All
the time the Molokans were at Kapaa
they held but the status of employees
of Makee Sugar Company.
The Molokans had voluntarily pro-
posed, as one of the conditions of
their settlement at Kapaa, that they
should not receive fee simple title to
their homestead plots until they had
occupied them for five years, and dur
ing that time have maintained the plan
tation lands they had engaged to cul-
tivate at an equal standard of cultiva-
ton to that obtaining at the beginning
of their contract.
Moreover, the Molokans had volun-
teered the condition that none of the
lands they contracted to cultivate
would be cultivated by alien labor.
All of these facts, with more detail.
We're made clear by Land Commission
er J. w. Pratt yesterday to an Ad-
vertiser reporter, in reply to question
as to whether there were any truth in
the charge made by Mr.. Silva, in a
political speech, that the Molokans had
been offered conditions of settlement
which were denied to Portuguese.
.'There is no truth whatever in the
charge" Mr.. Pratt said. 1.-The Kapaa
lands are now open to application for
settlement thereon by Portuguese, or
any other citizens, or aliens qualified
and willing to acquire citizenship be
fore receiving title.
Not only the Kappa lands, but
others. The Portuguese on Hakslau
plantation have homesteads available
there upon precisely similar conditions
to those the Molokans We're accorded.
1t is important that the terms of such
homestead settlement should be under
stood.
''Even the Portuguese who are now
on the way out from Madeira are in
the same position as the MoIokans were
for acquiring homesteads. The Molo-
ans all had taken out their first papers
of citizenship, therefore were in the
same standing as any persons not born
on American soil.
I'm relation to Kapaa, the Molokans
in their contention that they should be
given a low rate of valuation on the
land, put forward the following con-
Siderations:
"First-That, in order to show that
they were not spectators. they should
occupy the land for a term of not more
than five years before getting title.
"Second-That they would cultivate
all the arabic land which they were
allowed to settle on themselves, but
