Back Again
DISCUSSES THE CONDITION OF
THE SUGAR MARKET AS AT
FECTED BY THE BEET CROP.

After an absence of eight months in
Europe ]. F. Hackfeld is back in Ho-
nolulu and, naturally enough, he was
up to his eyes in business this morn
ing as he only returned by the S. s.
Mongolia last evening.
Perhaps the most interesting mat
ter on which l could speak is that OF
sugar" he said to the Star. '1The au-
thentic reports which 1 received show
that the consumption was not as large
as was expected and the last beet crop
was the largest on record, no less than
6, 900, 900 tons being produced. OF course
these conditions will greatly affect the
sugar market.
THE future? Well, it will be hard
to say anything about that until April
when it will be seen how much of an
area in Europe is planted with beets.
OF course it is possible that the beet
planters in view of the prevailing low
prices may plant a much smaller area
than was planted for the recent crop,
but it is hard to judge beforehand
THE bulk of the beets are grown by
farmers who deliver them to the refin-
cries. OF course the refineries have
/ their own plantations but the farmers
do most of the growing all through
/ Europe"
Mr. Hackfeld has enjoyed excellent
health while away but he is frankly
/ pleased at being in Honolulu again.

The che ia investigation has not
stopped any of the four regular che ia
banks, but it has driven the agents to
cover, and great difficulty is being ex-
perienced in serving subpoenas on wit
nesses who are wanted by the Grand
Jury. The Grand Jury knows who the
agents are by this time. Evidence has
been unearthed to show who are the
announcers of winning words, when
and how the announcements are made
and largely who sell the tickets. This
morning the jury had District Magis-
trate Whitney for a witness and the
questions he was asked indicate fur
ther that the jurors will round out
their labors by roasting the local police
for failure to stop che ia.
All On, one of the star witnesses of
last week, left the islands this morn
ing, for China, taking the Mongolia.
He is said to have a position there and
to have contemplated leaving for some
time, so it may be that the che ia in

MONGOLIA TOOK THE LARGEST
CROWD FROM HONOLULU FOR
THE ORIENT IN LOCAL HISTORY

The departure of the S. S. Mongolia
for the Orient this morning marked an
epoch in the tourist history of the Ha-
waiian Islands. The largest crowd of
visitors to leave these islands for the
Far East departed by the Mongolia.
Fifty-four cabin passengers departed
on the vessel and of this number about
IS per cent We're visitors who had sim
ply stopped over from through vessels
to visit Honolulu. The fact that so
many Oriental bound passengers left
Honolulu at one time shows that the
tourists who have been sought have
been within the Gates of the Paradise
of the Pacific. In the vast majority of
instances they are leaving with pleas
ant impressions of the islands.
There is a particular significance to
this crowd too for the reason that they
represent only one portion of the char
acter of visitors that have been at
tracted to the islands. The primary
object of the Promotion Committee is
to induce people to visit the islands
for the special purpose of seeing the
islands alone without making the More
extensive trip to the Orient, but the
stop-over passengers also form a very
considerable part of the visiting tour
lists and the crowd today is the most
striking illustration of this fact. Peo-
pie are beginning to stop over on theil
way from the Orient as we'll as on the
outward bound trips.
Among the local people departing to-
day We're Count and Countess Bonz
and infant. They are going to Hong
kong, en- route to Italy.

fore the local police court. He testified,
it is stated, that very few of them are
che ia cases. Nearly all the hundreds
of cases which are prosecuted before
him are paikau cases, che ia arrests
being few and far between. This ig
said to have been the judges testi-
mony, and the jurors are likely to say
there should be more che fa arrests.
The business of the che ia banks is
believed to be a good deal reduced by
the investigation, but the drawings
come off regularly just the same. The
leading agents are in hiding, however.
and it would not be surprising to learn
that some got away on the China
Some of them are known to the Grand
Jury and may be indicted. Amin will
have to answer for perjury, in an
probability.
In spite of the good work done by
Attorney General Peters and the jury
it seems to I've settled that the che Ia
banks will run on just about the same,
under present laws. The profits are,
said to be enormous. One single bank
that which is supposed to be run by
Amin, is calcu lated to be making some
thing like 5000 day profit, and is said
to have over a hundred agents, Jap
anese, Hawaiian and Chinese.

The fire on the S. S. Texan is very
serious. 1t was thought at one time
last night that the fire was under co1-
troll but no such condition existed this
morning. After considerable discus
sion it was decided to put water on
the lime and slack it.
Shortly after 10 o'clock this morning
Engine No. / of the local fire depaRt-
ment began to pump water into the
hold of the big steamer. Water is
being thrown into the steamer at the
rate of 800 gallons a minute by the
engine, through three lines of hose
while two other lines of water are bein
thrown into the vessel by the pumps of
the steamer. Steam at the rate of so
pounds pressure is also being pumped
down the hatch of the vessel. 1t is es-
timated that the loss to the cargo will
reach at least $25,OO0 The exact
amount cannot be determined, how
ever as the exact quantity of feed
and flour stored in the burning section
is not known. But the loss to this
part of the cargo is the smallest con-
sideration.
The stuff will be a total loss. The
question that is now bothering Captain
Lyons and Freight Agent Morse is the
effect that the fire is likely to have or
the hull of the steamer. Morse said
this morning that he thought that the
fire would not effect the hull but Other
people were very dubious about this
point. In fact there is a possibility
that the fire may become so hot thai
the interior of the vessel may be warp.

OVERWHELMING DEFEAT-MUCH TROUBLE BILL FOR


A battle between lawyers and doc

say this morning and when tho smoke

doctors had tr.u,npbed. The engage
ment was over bill of $50 for pro-
fesstOnal services rendered by Ridg way
& Ridgway, attorney of Hilo, to the
medical firm of Humphris, Herbert

vices were alleged and admitted to
have been performed in the Motley
will case, but the judge held that they
had been sufficiently paid for
DR.. Humphris was an expert witness
in the Motley case, when it was tried
in Hro, ami received a fee for his
services. Ridgway & Ridgway acted
as attorneys for him and the record
showed that they had been paid $25
out of the estate. When they pre-
scented a bill for $50 to the medical
firm they were told that the estate had
paid them and that all they had done
