| since their arrival. The story they
| tell is summarized as follows:
| Upon the arrival of Mr.. Stackable
| and Mr.. Fraser at Funchal, advertise
nents were published in the local pa
pers asking all who wished for infor-
nation concerning Hawaii to call at
their Office. To those who answered
he advertisement it was promised that
work on a plantation for three years
would receive a two-acre plot of land
in fee simple and would also be given
q house to cost S400. This was to be
theirs in addition to the wages they
would earn, viz: $40 month for the
first year, s21 for the second year and
S22 for the third. During their stay on
the plantation they were to be given
free medical attendance, free fuel, fres
water and stove.
There was to be no compulsion as
regards staying on any one particular
plantation, but only those who would
work out their three-year term were
to be given any land.
Now the immigrants find that instead
of two acres of land the amount has
been cut down to one and that only |
the heads of families are to be given |
any The young men, who may wish.
to establish a home at some future |
time can not be allotted any land now.
This is evidently a source of disap-
pointment to many.
The immigrants are loud in their !
kicks over the food served to them on !
the voyage. 1t is not the quality of the
provisions nor the quantity to which
they take such vigorous exception, but
to the manner in which it was served.
The cooks were chosen at random from
the ranks of the immigrants them

IAUKEA
A WINNER
Becomes Sheriff. Elect
by a Good Big
Margin.

The Supreme Court yesterday decid-
ed that all ballots cast for either Brown
or Iaukea, but in which errors occur
red in the marking for other candidates
should be counted for either candidate
for sheriff At the same time it was
announced that the count would be
completed and the decision rendered
at - D. m These ballots had been re-
jected on the first count. In a con-
versation with reporter for the Ad-
vertiser one of the Justices stated. un-
officially, that a majority of the court
had decided that the law applying to
ballots for Senators and Representa-
tives did not apply in the case of the
sheriff.
1t was after O'Clock when the at
torneys. justices and clerk made their
appearance and it was reported by
them that the count showed a major
ity of thirty-nine votes for 1aukea. At
torney Kinney's face beamed with ap-
parent satisfaction at the result, and at
the chance to take a rest after the
strain. 1t was rumored in the morning
that the Court had decided to count in
the ballots that had been marked for
The names or Two OIIlcla1S, either County
attorney. sheriff or the county clerk
so that Mr.. Iaukea was not altogether
surprised at the result. Mr.. Kinney
said the following to a reporter for the
Advertiser:
Many of the ballots rejected remain
amounted for the reason that they did
not come within the scope of the de-
cision rendered by the Justices. Had
they been Mr.. Iaukea would be declar-
ed elected by several hundred votes
The Justices admitted only those where
more than the legal number OF officials
were voted for: in the cases where the
crosses were too far over or were be
low the line the court took notice. the
decision will be formally announced on
Monday and the Court will probably
announce an express ruling at the same
time with arguments pro and con win
authorities
In the matter of the allowance of the
votes counted yesterday the attorney
for respondent, Mr.. Kinney, made
strong point of. this throughout the
trial. In the Fernandez-Adams ~ase
there was an oral decision rendered
from the Bench on this point but at
torneys do not consider such decision
as having the same weight and effect
as one upon which briefs have been
submitted.

issuing of coupons calling for different
advertised articles with each sale. The
matter was only brought into the Dis
trict Court in order to get the matter
before the Supreme Court for a con-
test on the question of constitutions
ality, the defense having their appeal
prepared before coming before Judge
Whitney
There was & half-concealed smile on
the face OF the Judge as he listened to
the argument of Mr. Prosser that the
defendant should be given the maxi
mum penalty of $500 fine for holding
out inducements in the shape of pre-
rniums to bring misguided youths into
his store 70 be debauched by cigars
and cigarettes. Instead of imposing
the maximum fine however, Judge
Whitney named the minimum, $40 and
costs.
Then the notice of appeal was given
and the matter passed up to the higher
court.
During the morning session the case
against W. c. Peacock & Co, that of
selling adulterated liquors, was up
again. w. c. Peacock as president of
the company accused being named on
the warrant. AS was the case when
Mr. Peacock appeared in court on a
previous occa sion, his attorney, r. w.
BrecEons, objected to the service as
faulty. The objection was taken into
consideration by Judge Whitney, who
will give a decision on the point on
Monday.

WARNS LIQUOR MEN.
Anti.Saoon League Work Beginning to

Newark, N, J., october 24.-At today's session of the National Liquor Leagues convention, President Hugh Dolan made his report. He urged that the organiza- tion strengthen it's means of defense. He said:
 50 much has been accomplished by the anti-saloon league that 1t would seem unnecessary to call attention to the great danger that confronts us, but the fact remains that there are those engaged in the business who appreciate the gravity of the situation only when it is too late to prevent the passage of oppressive laws"
 Vice President Halle submitted a re- port upon the subject of liquor traffic throughout the country and explana- ton respecting il. He thought a bill should be passed by Congress prohibit- ing the issuance of government certih- cates in instances where applicants had not compiled with the state laws.

bined ability of all the spindles in the world to supply, running on full time. It is also a well known fact that the trade conditions of the entire civilized world was never more elastic and pros porous than at the present time. What do all of these things mean to the men who have cotton to sell this fall and winter?
 It means that through the immediate inauguration of a correct system of jul dicious marketing, or selling the crop slowly, that this crop can be easily mar keted for the greatest amount of money ever received by the south for any pre- vious crop. The crop now being gathered should aggregate to the farmers of the south fully $660,000,000, and will do so. if the staple is not rushed upon the mar ket. too rapidly. The crop has been gen orally three weeks earlier than usual, destroying thousands of bales of cotton over the northern sections of the cotton belt. My recent tour of all the cotton states indicated beyond all question of doubt that the labor problem, from North Carolina throughout Texas and the ter ritories is the most serious which ever faced the cotton growers in the gathering of their crops. No man can with any degree of certainty estimate the extent of damage to the cotton crop during the past two months throughout the entire cotton belt. That 1t has been enormous and will exceed the views of the trade at large, there is no question of doubt in my mind. I have stated before, and now reiterate again, that the only pos sible factor which can be used to de- press prices will be the too rapid mar keting of the staple by the growers, If they will only sell their cotton slowly and check up the present heavy receipts at the ports very high prices can be easily maintained High prices are bound to follow in the wake of full realization of the shortness of this crop as compared with expectations two months ago ana I want to see the growers receive their full measure of profits out of the great worlds necessity they have labored so hard to produce. My views on the cot ton situation have been recently misrep- resented and I trust the press of the country will give as wide publicity as possible to the above presentation of the situation as I see it at the present time.

Washington, October 24.-The fact that George von l.. Meyer. ambassador to Rus sia, is slated to become postmaster gem eral.next March, has already led to gos- sip as to his probable successor to the Russian mission. Lloyd c.

Meyer in which case it is reported that John Barrett, now minister to Colombia probably will be appointed to Rio de Janeiro.
 It was said at the White House to- day, however, that none of the proposed changes will be made until after the Pres ident's return from Panama.
