MANCHURlA DOOMED
Big Steamer is Breaking Up Onithe
Hawaiian Reef.

HONOLULU. Aug. 22.-The s~tranG>o
steamer Manchuria is suffering great
damage. and those at the scene of the
wreck think the vessel is doomed. Foui
of her eight boilers have been rendered
useless. repeated shocks against the
reef having damaged the foundations
of the boilers. The port engine also is
useless on account of the breaking OF
its main pipe.
The vessel is believed to be about
twelve feet farther In shore than wher
she struck, in spite of almost constant
Juggling in the opposite direction, and
she is leaking a%midships. Apparently
the steamer rests amidships on n patch
of hard coral, over which she rolls and
pitches upon a pivot. pounding espe.
cially hard on the port side. Every
shock jars her terribly from bow tc
stern. Captain Saunders says the only
chance TO save the ship is to float hel
soon. 1t is doubtful whether there is
power enough in Honolulu to do so
and aid from San Francisco is wanted
Captain Saunders shows that he is
suffering from the strain he is under
but he still assumes all the blame. He
is receiving many expressions of SYM
pathy from the passengers. They are
demanding that the steamship com,
pany provide them with accommoda.
tions.

VICE CHANCELLOR SAYS
$500 NOT RIGHT.
Continued from Page ~

a man has the worse he is Off" in
~terjected the vice chancellor. Judge
Lyon said that one of the witnesses
had used the same words.
That the law gives the Water
Board the right to condemn or pur-
chase was contended by Judge Lyon,
who asserted that $22 an acre is the
market price of such land in hat vi
cinity.
"When Fountain asked $500 an
acre, the Water Board agreed to give
it to him." Judge Lyon continued,
Such a gross abuse of power should
be interfered with by injunction by
the court. The other side might con-
city to own this land, but not to the
extent of $500 an acre. The night
before the deal was agreed upon
President Convery, according to tes-
timony, told Commissioner Voorhees,
and a former member that the tract
was not worth more than $500 and
that he would not give over 81, 900
for the whole of it; and yet the next
day he agreed to the payment of
$15, 500.
what influence was at work."
continued Judge Lyon.
Judge Lyon then told of the allega-
ton in the bill of complaint that AS
bury Fountain said that all obstruc-
lions to the building of the desired
~trestle at Runyon would cease on the
part of the Madison township com
mittee if this land were purchased
for $15,5OO.
"Can yon prove that?'' asked Vice
Chancellor Pitney. Judge Lyon stat
ed that the testimony showed it.
''The Fountains" continued Judge
Lyon were using political influence
to force this deal, which is enough tc
stamp it with fraud, and the Board
of Water Commissioners should moi
spend the taxpayers money to buy
influence. The taxpayers can't be
protected in any other way except by
injunction. If the board still think
they need this land they can condemn
it, and then they'd have to pay only
what it's worth"
Lawyer John A. Coan, in the place
of George S. Silzer, counsel for the
Fountains, presented afidavits from
a number of men south of the Rari-
tan river asserting that the land is
worth the high price.
Competition Might Have Justified.
Had there been competition -
held the vice chancellor, you might
have some standing"
Lawyer Willard p. Voorhees,, spe-
cial counsel for the Water Board,
questioned the Chancery Courts jur-
isdiction in the case. Judge Lyon
said he would submit a brief in re-
gard to that.
The vice chancellor said in connec-
ton with the charge that the Foun-
agreed to the erection of the
trestle if this deal were made, that if
true, it was a palpable fraud.
''They should acquire the land if
it Is needed" said the vice chancel-
but not at an eXtravagant price
as to make fools of themselves"
Lawyer Voorhees, said that he was
defending the good faith and
good name of these men, and that if
the court should interfere, 1t should
obliterate the matter entirely.
Vice Chancellor Pitney said that
taxpayers should be encouraged to
look out for their interests in this
manner, and every indication was
such as to indicate that The vice
chancellor does not look with favor
upon the deal.

any more urgent business than 10
beautify the person.
Aprons there are from Paris, SO
delicate and beautiful that to wear
them to protect the dress is quite
ludicrous. Hand embroidery is used
lavishly In their decorations, and lace
and embroideries OF the finest.

proof that he is alarmed by the SIT
