YESTERDAYS STORM BROUGHT
A LOT OF TREES DOWN

Inc kona storm prevailing late yes
terday afternoon played havoc through
out the city with trees and shrubbery.
One of the two huge trees in the park
of the Hawaiian Hotel was blown over
about 5 O'Clock, it's branches crashing
upon the roof of the Eva lanai and
breaking portion of it. This tree
was landmark and was covered with
vines, the bougainvillea predominant

At the time it fell Dr. Wayson and
tourist were in the barber shop UNI
derneath the Eva lanai. The talk had
been upon the San Francisco earth
quake. Suddenly there was an alarm

garoba tree. Then the tree fell over
with crash. The barber, tourist ana

about this lather?'' asked the doctor.
In the excitement the barber thought
he had completed the shave, In spite
of the fact that the medicos face was
foamy with lather.
On Pensacola street an algaroba tree
fell in front of Atwater's place, COM

several protuberances on other parts of
his countenance and had lost most OF
his shirt.
During the excitement a policeman
appeared and brought the two and the
pig down to the station. The porker

Mossman ordered that it be held and
filed away as evidence Hiram put up

OTHER sIDt OF
TIE CR|Mp STORY

| K. Sato, a japanese employment
Iagency proprietor, is to be prosecuted
for crimping, according to a story pub
lished yesterday in one of the after
noon papers. The story was to the eff
feet that Sato, acting for Captain
| Mansfield, late of the S. S. Morning
Star. had secured a crew for the ship
w. r. Babcock, Captain Stinson pay
| ing a bounty of three dollars for each
sailor delivered. The job of securing
a crew had first been given to another
crimp. according to the same story,
when Mansfield is said to have cut in
and secured the pickings for himself.
AT the inquest held over the death
of Tomo Ichi on Sunday, Sato testified
that he had received fee Of three dol
lars from each Of the men he had Sc
cured for the Babcock, discriminating
evidence which will be used against
him, the taking of fee from a sailor
for securing him employment being
Illegal.
Captain Mansfield, however, has no
connection with this illegal act and is
lncensed at the way in which the story
published yesterday connects him with
it.
L nave known Captain Stinson for a
good many years and there are other
snip masters here who are as well &C.
quainted with him as l." said Captain
Mansfield yesterday. II heard that he
was to pay waterfront policeman five
dollars head for getting him a crew,
and the men twenty-five dollars a
month as sailors on his vessel. To US
1t seemed as though he was paying too
much for shipping his crew, and vol
untecred the information that he could
go direct to a Japanese who handles
good many sailors and save the five
dollars extorted from him by the wa
terfront crimps. The captain accepted
the advice and got a crew that is giv-
ing him satisfaction. Larsen. the
waterfront policeman, seeing he was
about to loose his commissions, amount
ing 70 something like two hundred and
fifty dollars, accosted me on the street
and accused me OF doing him out OF his
money. / went direct TO Sheriff Brown
and stated the circumstances, at the
same time entering a complaint. The
Sheriff refused to take any action In
the matter even after hearing the po-
lieeman insult me in his office. Fur
Their than to give the captain a sug-
gestion as to where he, would get
good crew, and at less expense than
would be charged by the waterfront
policemen. I know nothing of what the
Bulletin speaks.
THE reference to the voyage Of the
Morning Star wherein it states that 1
had made an unsuccessful start with
the vessel, I have only to say that 1t is
as incorrect as the rest of the articls
written by the reporter and referring
to me. Considering the weather the
voyage of the Morning Star was a rec
ord one and I took her to San Fran
cisco to the satisfaction OF everyone
concerned"

OLD YEAR OUT
NEW YEAR in

The old year out and the new year in
was celebrated last night by many with
dancing and all that goes with merry
dancing parties. At the Hawaiian Ho-
tel a native quintet played for dancing
on the Eva lanai, a large number of
people taking advantage of the oppor-
tunity to trip the light fantastic toe
until the new year was ushered in.
At the Moana the usual New Years
Eve dance was held, and In spite of
the state of the weather it was largely
attended 1t was fashionable gath
ering and congenial one. The crowd
danced in the large dining room. The
music was excellent and the crowd a
jolly one. The wind howled outside,
but within everything was comfort,
able.
The st. Louis Alumni Association
gave a dance at Progress Hall, which
was well attended. The hall was at
tractively decorated with flags. 1t was
one of the pleasantest dances given by
the association during the year. VIM.

At midnight the downtown and har-
Dor whistles woke up and there was
some explosion OF squibs and cane
torpedoes.
There was an unusual amount OF
drunkenness in evidence on the streets
last night, the crowd out &c celebrate
the birth OF the new year being small
er and quieter than the Christmas
crowd. but patronizing the saloons
more regularly. The police suppressed
the worst of the celebraters, but made
few arrests. taking into consideration
the occasion. The most serious charge
on the police blotter was that of re-
sisting police officer, registered
against Manuel Santos and T.. G.
Forbes. These were arrested on Hotel
street, officer F-Ienapa having taken
one in hand for being disorderly when
the other tried to snatch his club away.
When the patrol wagon arrived the
big cop had prisoner in each hand.

RECORD GUN PRACTICE.
ENTHUSIAST IN NAVY.
Nearly 10 Per Cent of Hits an Prac-
ticc at Guantanamo.

washington. April 3-While the target prac-
tice of the Atlantic fleet at Guantanamo is not
completed and the scores are ret figured OUT
enough is known regarding the record break
ing work of the Gunners on the battieships 10
fill ali the navy men with enthusiasm. Since
the Spanish war. largely through the improve
rlent of the system of continuous aim under
the direction Of Lieutenant Commander William
S. Sims. inspector Of target practice, the eff
cheney Of American gunEers has improved Won
derfulIy At that time our gunners at Santiago
scored about 315 per cent OF hits. The Atlantic
feet is now scoring about 30 per cent of hits.
Admiral Evans is reported to have remarked
that with our present efficiency the fire of the
Spanish ships would have been "smothered."
and that the American ships would not have
been hit at all.
Bearing out this statement is the report from
the fleet that the last twelve rounds from a
6-inch rife on the flagship scored twelve bulls
eyes at 1000 yards But the naval officers
say distance makes practically no difference
with the range finders in use when con-
tinuous aim. by which two men keep the muzzie
of the gun constantly on the target. whatever
the speed or the rolling of the ship is main
tanned. 1t is said that perfect scores were made
with the 12-lnch rifles and that a record Of
twenty-three seconds was made in loading and
firing of the biggest guns. AS for the
smaller rifles it is said that they can be fired
six times fast they could be at the time
Of the Spanish war
The sailors were intensely interested in the
trials but they cannot know the full results
until the figures are fully made up and all al
lowanCes calculated. To illustrate, one 6-inch
crew made five hits out of six Shots but owing
to various bitches in the drill they were credited
with only one. to their great disgust
Special interest attached to the firing Of the
guns on the Connecticut, the battery OF that
batteship includes the new type OF 7-inch rife
which is also a part of the armament Of the

the guns or the Connecticut was pushed to
completion. and 1t was this which delayed the

syracuse, April 3.-The case Of the govern
y;1sent against the New York Central Railroad
Company, in which the company is charged with
rebatins in violation Of the Sherman ANTITRUST
Law. was continued before Judge George w.
Ray in the United states Court to-day.
The charge against the railroad company IS
that it favored the General Electric Company,
Of Schenectady. in the matter OF rates The
main facts are admitted. The railroad company
states that it returned 20 cents ton on freight
10 the General Electric Company, but says that
the allowance was for services at the terminal
at Schenectady. where the General Electric Com
pany owns the tracks and engines. and that It
was in no sense a rebate which constitutes
Illegal payment Or discrimination.
II is set up by the government that the rec
ord did not show that the payment was made
for handling loading or unloading cars. or doing
any specific kind of work. but that the return
was for so many tons of freight handled The
effect il is alleged. was to reduce the freight
rate BY the amount paid. II is also held that the
General Electric Company had no right to OPP

pany. and that the tracks and engines were for
