To Speak In
Honolulu
AUTHOR OF CALL OF THE WILD"
HAS PROMISED A PUBLIC AD-
DRESS WHILE HERE.

Jack London i5 to make a public ad-
dress in Honolulu soon after his ar
rival here in his sloop the Shark on
his voyage around the world.
This much has been arranged with
him already. When the announcement
was made that he is coming here and
would make a stay in these islands,
Robert Law, vice-principal of the Roy
al School, wrote him asking if he
would make a public address on some
sociological or economic theme. Lon
don has very decided views on these
subjects, and by some is considered
very radical. One of his addresses
on a theme of this kind delivered to a
body of Yale students lately, attracted
a great deal of attention.
Jack London has replied to Mr..
Laws letter and has accepted the in
vitation and promised to deliver an
address. The place where it is to be
given has not yet been decided. Pos
slbly it will be in Charles r. Bishop
Hall, oahu College.
No doubt the novelist will have a
large audience.

.SURETIES FOR
BAND INSTRUMENTS
WILL TELL THE ATTORNEY GEN.
ERAL THIS AFTERNOON WHAT
THEY WILL DO ABOUT IT.

Matters in the band bond indemnity
will reach a crisis this afternoon. Mr..
Farwell representing the Waterhouse
Trust Company the local agent of the
indemnity and surety company is to
appear before Attorney General Peters
this afternoon at $3.50 o'clock and make
known what will be done i'm the case.
In event of the proposition by Far
well not proving satisfactory, the at
torney general will proceed at once to
try to recover on the bond.
The surety company asked for some
information regarding the situation and
Farwell is expected to have been ad-
vised by the concern, regarding its
share in the proposition. Naturally
the people who backed the indemnity
are anxious to avoid losing their $4,000.
Unless Farweli is able to put Up a
pretty stiff talk relative to the mat
ter, it looks as if proceedings will be
inaugurated very promptly on behalf
of Col. Jones, the custodian of the band
instruments.
Farwell stated this afternoon that he,
had consulted with attorneys and left
the entire matter in their hands. His
attorneys would therefore, appear in
his place before the attorney general
and try defect an arrangement that
would be satisfactory to the interests
concerned.

Gable advices were this morning re-
ceived by the Marine Exchange and c.
Brewer &c Company bearing the good
news of the arrival today at Lewes,
Delaware Of the schooner Kineo af-
ter a voyage of POP days from Kahu-
lui with 3OS1 tons of Alexander & Bald
win and Brewer & Co. sugars. About
October 1st she was posted as overdue,
having at that time been out over 100
days and the gamble of reinsurance on
the mainland was being INDUCED in.
A voyage of over 200 hundred days
for sugar ship around the Horn is
unusual and there was good reason for
anxiety.
The Kineo is a recently built boat of
the Sewall line and this is her first trip
around the Horn with a sugar cargo.
She is one of the finest and largest
American schooners afloat. 1t is be-
lieved by shipping men here that the
length of her voyage is due largely, if
not altogether, to the fact of her being
schooner rugged, for old captains de-
clare that a schooner-rigged vessel
gets the worst of it in any kind of
stubborn weather off the Horn where,
of course, the toughest part of the
voyage is to be experienced. 1t takes
the square-rigger to handle herself in
nasty weather off the Horn and the
schooner gets the disadvantage every

$4,000 FOR A STOCK
EXCHANGE SEAT

The transfer of George p. Thielen's
seat on the Stock Exchange to William
Williamson was authorized today by
unanimous vote of the Exchange. This
practically completes the transfer of
the business of Thielen & Williamson
to William Williamson. The price paid
for the seat is $4,000 which is the price
Thelen paid for it when he bought it
of Herbert p. Eakin.
Mr.. Thielen goes to San Francisco to

There appears to have been woman
in the case of the Nevadan's water
tender who narrowly escaped getting
his windpipe cut in front of the Jap
anese theater last night
j. McClinchy, the aforesaid tender OF
water had tended water SO much that
he desired to tend something stronger,
whereupon, with the assistance of will
ing friends, he laid alongside bar and
started the pump for a load of booze.
Upon feeling his decks awash he upped
anchor and steered for excitement
finding it, but not such as he sought,
in the neighbOrhood of the Japanese
theater. He and Japanese lady and
several of her cOuntrymen, according
to the best authorities, had a dispute,
the point of which seemed to be found
simultaneously with McClinchy's feel
ing the shivery Steel He had so many
slashes in his neck that he couldn't
hold his head straight, so he rested OH
the steps of the theater where he bled
until rescued by his friends. His as
sailant will probably never be known.

BANDS CONDITION
SEEMS IMPROVED
FROM RENO TT IS ONLY A SHORT
( DISTANCE TO FRISCO WILL
PROBABLY DO WELL THERE.

Captain Berger's cablegram today to
the Governor shows that the band has
raised money enough to travel from
Salt Lake City to Reno, Nevada, which
is almost on the California line The
boys will probably reach Reno this
afternoon or tomorrow morning.
Reno is more than two-thirds of the
distance from Salt Lake City to San
Francisco. When they reach that
place they will be almost close enough
to San Francisco to walk down.
When Reno is reached it will not be
found nearly as cold as it was in Utah
or Colorado. The boys should do we'll

ride of six or seven hours will take
the band from Reno to Sacramento
where they should make enough to get
to San Francisco easily.
. 1t is highly probable that San Fran

when they reach that point. 1t may
be that the band will be able to get

that the jury might take up the

The Kineo sailed from Kahului April
26th and some are under the impress
sion that she carried three passengers
from Maui. If she did they got their
moneys worth, providing they paid by
the trip and not by the Aay.
The Kineo was a long time going
from Manila to Newcastle and likewise
a long time from Newcastle to Kahu-
lui.
The ordinary passage from this port
around the Horn to Eastern ports is
about 125 days.
The news Of the Kineo's arrival is
received here with great relief No
particulars are given in the cable an
nouncing her reaching the Breakwater
and it cannot at this time be said
whether the long voyage was due to
accident, weather or fault of rig.
There are now four sailing vessels
out on the way to Eastern ports
around the Horn with sugar, the Tillie
E. Starbuck out 70 days; the Atlas,
out "a days; the w. P. Frye, out Sc
days, and the Arthur Sewall out 50

OF the 1906 crop $4,000 tons of sugar
have been shipped by sail and $1,000
tons by steamer Except for the sugar
aboard the four vessels above named
the 1906 crop has been marketed.
