Cohen With
The Band And
Pawn Tickets
HE SAYS HE LOST $4,000 IN THE
VENTURE BUT KEPT FAITH
WITH EVERYBODY.

Il have the finest collection of pawn
tickets of any man in the country"
said Joe Cohen today on his arrival
with the band by the Korea. I don't
believe any other man could have car
ried the band through as did. lost
$4,000 in the venture, but L am not
kicking. The band paid it's way up
to about the first of September though
we had any amount of the hardest luck
imaginable before that. We played
to capacity in theatre after theatre, but
the house wasn't big enough to pay
expenses. In Kansas City it rained
five days out of the seven we were
there and in Louisville six.
Our troubles began when the Man
churia went on the rocks, for we were
planning to take her home on the trip
leaving San Francisco October 8. When
she went on the rocks and it became
uncertain about steamers to get home
on, we were unable to accept good en-
gagements for fear we would not have
time, and then we began to lose money
so fast that it was like water running
through a sieve.
THE first the people in the United
States knew that the band was strand
ed, was when the reports began to ar
rive from Honolulu to that effect We
| did not get them until we were nearly
to the California line. Then they be-
gan to come strong and heavy and it
was from Honolulu that we got the
news.
Did 1 break faith with the govern
ment? Didn't agree to take the band
away and bring them back? Didn't
do it? What is all the row over any,
way?
1--WE steered into big bunch of baG
luck and 1 am out Just $4,000 but
lived up to my agreement and no one
in this town can have anything to say
about it.
Until the 1st of September we made
good. Then we found out that we die

that country coming back through
Omaha. We met hard luck in thu

money but as faS as the boys going

The petition of Sheriff A. NJ. Brown
for a recount of the ballots in the re-
cent election whereby c. p. Iaukea, the
Democratic nominee, was declared up
on the returns to have been elected
County Sheriff, was taken up by the
Supreme Court this morning. Chief
Justice Frear and Associate Justices
Hartwell and Wilder were on the
bench
a, NJ. Brown, the petitioner, and the
respondent Iaukea, were in court.
Brown was represented at the opening
of the proceedings by Former Judge
George d. Gear, who was later Joined
by Deputy u s. Attorney J. j. Dunno,
while w. A. Kinney and w. s. Edings
represented Iaukea. There was a good
sized crowd in court to listen to the
proceedings.
All of the proceedings this morning
were perfunctory or technical But
they developed the fact that the attor-
news for the respondent, Iaukea, pro-
pose to contest every point. No opel

Atkinson
Back From
Washington
THE SECRETARY SAYS THAT THE
OVER IMMIGRATION MATTERS.

Secretary of the Territory, A. L. c.
Atkinson returned this morning from
his trip to New York and Washington
and looked remarkably well after his
vacation. He was in Washington twice
during his trip and conferred both
times with the president although the
Treasury Department called him to
Washington to talk with him about the
eXpending of the 100000 for the next
Legislature.
The appropriation was made hurried
ly by Congress and was not worded
exactly and there is no mention made
as to the pay of members except in the
instance Of an extra session. The Sc
cretary asked for opinions on the mat
ter and he will govern his actions ac-
cordingly. He will follow the law and
not express an opinion either way.
According to the Secretary the Presi-
dent is very enthusiastic over the
bringing of the first crowd of immi-
grants here on the S. S. Suveria and he
does not want the matter to close
there. He wants the good work kept
up according to Atkinson.
Il had a splendid trip" said the
Secretary, and feel fine after my trip
to the coast. l went to New York and
made two trips to Washington to con-
fer with the authorities there. First
saw the Treasury officials in regard
to the eXpending of the $4,000 appro-
priated for the expenses of the Legis-
lature. l will put up a $4,000 bond and
will distribute the money according to
directions. Opinions will reach me
soon from the department and l shall
distribute the money according to the
directions given me, not expressing an
opinion one way or another.
Il had a conference with the Presi-
dent and he is very enthusiastic over
| the steps taken here in obtaining the
first load of Portuguese. He said
\ that it was the best thing that has

look into immigration matters and at

some time and his knowledge of immi-

to Washington will work great good
for Hawaii.

THE BALLOTS ARE Admitted

ing the possibility of fraud, the ef-
ficacy of the ballots as evidence was
impaired. Counsel did not intend how
ever, to imply or to charge any one
with being so unfair as to do so with
the present ballots. Kinney, continu-
ing gave notice that in event of the
ballots being accepted as evidence res
pondent would require the petitioner
to give some positive reason to the
court, why the bags containing the bal
lots should be opened. He would op-
pose any fishing expedition, the petit
toner must cite specific cases of fraud
or impwroper counting or rejection of
the ballots.
Replying to a question by the Chief
Justice relative to his position, Kinney
stated htat he contended that Buffan-
deau had been still busil engaged dur
ing two weeks following the election
at the Republican headquarters aiding
presumably in the preparation of
Browns petition for a recount and was
therefore shown to be an interested
party in the ballots
A. f. Clark, the inspector who had
been at the first precinct of the fourth
district, examined the bag offered in
evidence and upon being sworn stated
that the bag appeared to be the same
one that had been taken to the county
clerks office with the exception that
the sealing wax on the bag now was
broken whereas, it had been unbroker
when he had taken it to the clerk
office

Naval Wharf
Was Crowded
To Capacity
BANDBOYS ENTHUSIASTICALLY
WELCOMED AT THE WHARF BY
MULTITUDE.

The naval wharf was only just big
enough to accommodate the crowd that
swarmed to the waterfront this fore
noon to welcome the p. M S. S. Korea
from San Francisco and it was with
difficulty that room was made for the
gangway and a path forced for the
passengers as they came off the vessel.
The main cause of the multitude was
the me-coming of the Hawaiian band
and great was the demonstration when
the great vessel headed up for the slip
and her broadside revealed the band
boys lined up on the hurricane deck.
They were heard before they were dis
tinguished, for they burst forth with
Hawaiian airs, playing, probably, with
more spirit than they ever played be-
fore. There was a glad-to-be-h e-homd
sound to the music that brought tears
to the eyes of the many friends and
relatives of the musicians who had
gathered to greet them back to Ha-
wall. aloha Oe," Hawaii Ponof'
and other well-known Hawaiians airs
were played with vigor and loud were
the cheers in response.
The band boys were the first pas
sengers to leave the Korea and as they
filed slowly down the gangway each
was met at the foot thereof by some
loving one with embraces and leis and
carried away to a waiting hack for
home. The boys were DIRE Nsed in theil
uniforms and it was apparent they
they had returned with all their in
struments.

the band, but was easily picked ou

CAPTAIN BERGER SAYS THAT
COHEN OWES THE BOYS MONEY.
HARD TRIP ALL THE WAY.

Cohen owes the band boys about
$1O,OOO," said Captain Berger this morn
ing "and we all came home dead broke.
We had a hard trip and for four
months none of us have had even the
necessities of life. We have been

said, No, 1 will pay the way home.

will make to the petition was given,
but from the line of cross examination
pursued by Kinney, it is evident that
his attorneys propose to lay the foun-
dation, if possible, to prove possible
fraud and in tampering with the bal
lots after they were received into the
custody of the County Clerk, d. Kalau-
okalani, Jr. Kinney strongly brought
out the fact that Eugene Buffandeau,
one of the clerks in the office of the
County Clerk, had equal access with
Kalauokalani to the safe in which the
ballots had been placed following their
return by the different inspectors of
election and further that Buffandeau
was connected with the Republican
Central Committee.
The proceedings were first opened by
Judge Gear who suggested that there
be a stipulation between the attorneys,
whereby the Supreme Court should ap-
point a master or some one to count
the ballots about which there was no

The Supreme Court this afternoon af-
ter hearing considerable evidence de-
cided to admit the ballots from the
First precinct of the Fourth District
as evidence and ordered the bag con-
tanning them cut open.
Immediately upon the reconvening of
the Supreme Court this afternoon on
the Brown-Iaukea recount case, W. A.
Kinney as attorney for the respondent,
Iaukea, began to argue against the ad-
mission of the ballots offered at the
morning session by Judge Gear.
Kinney contended that his argument
contained no reflection upon Mr. Buff
fandeaus veracity whom it had how
ever been developed, had access to the
ballots and was an interested Republi-
can campaign officer, but the question
was that there had not been sufficient
precaution in the care of those ballots.
He laid particular stress upon the law
of the case which dealt with the ques-
tion of opportunity of fraud. So far
as the care and protection given to
these ballots was concerned, the
chance for tampering with the ballots
had been practically the same as If
the ballots had been in the custody of
Harry Murray in the rooms of the Re-
publican committee rooms, except as
regards a question of nerve. 1t was
simply a question of a person having the
nerve to go to the safe of the county
clerk and there tampering with the
ballots. Counsel argued that in show
