From Wednesdays Advertiser.)
The Experiment Station maintained
by the Hawaiian Planters Association
was visited by the association members
yesterday morning as an important part
of the program they had arranged for
their annual convention, some interest
ing hours being devoted to visiting the
various divisions of the station, in
sPecting the exhibits, overlooking the
field experiments being carried on and
listening carefully to the various ex-
plantations by the departmental heads.
The visiting plantation men, prac-
teal in their inspection, asked in
Vulnerable questions as they were con-
Quoted through the various buildings
and test plots of cane. A visit was
paid first to the pathological depart
ment, in which especial interest was
shown. Here the collection of en-
Genealogical exhibits was examined, aft
er which L. Lewton-Brain, in charge
of the pathological department, exhib-
tied specimens of noxious insects and
affected canes, explaining the harmful
effects of the pests and the steps be-
ing taken and experimental with to pre-
vent the spread of the existing pests
and to eliminate these and any others
that might be introduced.
A careful tour of inspection of the
field work being carried out was made,
the members paving especial attention
to the work of polarization be-
ing carried on. This work and the ex-
pected results. were thoroughly explain
ed and numerous interested questions
were answered by these in charge Of

A FAIR EXCHANGE,

Large sums Of money are no
doubt realized from simple spec
ulstion, but the great fortunes
are derived from legitimate and
honest business-where the goods
furnished are worth the price
they bring. Certain famous bust
ness men have accumulated their
millions wholly in this way.
Prompt and faithful in every
contract or engagement they en-
JOY the confidence of the public
and command a class Of trade
that is refused to unstable or
tricky competitors. In the long
run it does not pay to cheat or
deceive others. A humbug may
be advertised with a noise like
the blowing of a Thousand trum-
pets, but it is soon detected and
exposed. The manufacturers of

a rule organized under the laws OF
| Missouri, allowing them a latitude
which gave free swing for the spend
ing of large sums for salaries for Of
ficers who did little or no work, and
for other means of disposing of the
money contributed by poor people. The
victims were induced to invest through
the graphic word paintings of the
enormous profits which they would re-
ceive through the financial wisdom of
the promoters of the concern. AS a
rule a life of two or three years was
the limit for any one company, when
the promoters would Immediately
start a new concern of the same kind
under another name.
When asked for information on the
subject last night Attorney General
Hemenway stated that the matter had
been brought to his attention only
day or. so ago and he had asked Act
ing Treasurer Hapai for statement
in regard to the finances of the con-
Germ. He expressed surprise at the
transactions which had taken place
and said that he would commence an
investigation into the matter at once.
From quick examination, which is
probably not very accurate, the con-
Germ has now left about 5000 in cash,
$4,000 in bad mortgages and notes, out
of over 100000 which has been taken
from the pockets of the natives who
have donated regularly to 1t.

not gone so far that further trouble

PERJURY CHARGE
MAY BE RESULT

The So-called Mormon case, which
has attracted so much attention in the
Federal court, is still dragging out and
brought forth a new sensation yester-
day afternoon when the prosecuting
witness Mrs. Emeola Kekauoha, whose
husband, George, is being charged with
adultery, was placed on the witness
stand. Her lapse of memory and total
denials of facts which it is believed
can be easily proved by the govern
ment, are very liable to be the cause
of her indictment on charge of
perjury.
She acknowledged that a reconcilia-
ton had been effected between her
husband and herself and then proceed
ed to make fiat denials of every fact
that the prosecution had stated It
would bring out. She said that she
had never thought of the case before
February IA, when she had been hand
ed a letter by a man named Kaiona;
that she had never visited District
Attorney Breckons in his office before
that date with her sister; that she had
not written to her friends asking that
they watch her husband and keep her
informed in regard to his doings and
that she had ever thought of making
a complaint till the letter mentioned
had been given her.
Deputy District Attorney Dunno,
who is handling the case, tried to
break down her denials by bringing
in witnesses to the court and asking
her point blank whether she had not
been a Rprtain mi
a certain date, but she stuck to her
word. Time and again this was done
but in face of what seemed sure to
bring her into trouble she would not
change her story. She denied being in
Breckons' office with U. S. Marshal
Hendry, Interpreter Manuel and her
sister, and many other things of the
same sort. 1t was case of mo, no,
no." to almost every question that was
asked.
1t is expected that in the rebuttal
testimony her denials will be torn to
shreds by witnesses who will swear
that she was in the places mentioned
and that they were also there. If
this should be so, it will mean that
she has really harmed the one whom
size Is trying TO protect.
In her testimony in the morning she
aid the blame of her separation from |
her husband on a pig that he did not |
bring home for a luau and not because |
Of undue relations with another wo-
nan. She had found him eating pig
elsewhere and had become angry and |
decided to leave him to his own ways
n the future.

AFTERNOON SESSION.

AFTERNOON SESSION.
The afternoon session was called tt
order at O'Clock in the association
room in the Judd building, the mum
Der in attendance being almost the en-
tire membership.
Before the presentation of the re-
ports on the regular program, Presi-
dent Sehaefer read an invitation from
the Hawaiian Engineering Association
asking the members to attend the regu-
lar meeting of the engineers on Thurs
day evening, at which James T. Taylor
will read some of the most important
papers presented at the recent Irriga-
tion Congress held in Sacramento.
President Schaefer mentioned the fact
that it was unfortunate that this in
vitation should come for the evening
when the annual banquet had been ar
ranged for.
E. D. Tenney remarked soto voce
that undoubtedly the majority of the
members would prefer attending the
meeting to being present at the banquet,
but there was no approving response
from anyone.
Z. Faxon Bishop moved that the in
vitation be acknowledged and an ex-
PLANTATION made to the members of the
Engineering Association.
EXCURSION TO WAHIAWA.
The question of carrying out that
portion of the program for Thursday,
which includes a trip by special train
to Wahiawa, and an inspection of the
Eva and Oahu plantations, was brought
up Andrew Adams moved that the
trip be taken, which motion, seconded
by H. P. Baldwin, carried enthusiastic
cally. The president announced that
details of the trip would be announced
later.
REPORT ON EXPERIMENT STA
TION.
E. d. Tenney, chairman of the Com
nittee on Experiment Station, then
presented his report, which, being print
ed, was not read. The report was sign
I'd by E. D. Tenney, chairman; G. H.

The report dealt with the general
vork done at the station, under the |
leads of laboratory work, mill reports,
hemist control work, Seeding cane,
rtifcial naturalization of canes, strip
ing tests and planting tests, all under
he main heading of Division of Agri-
ulture and Chemistry.

DENY HERA[D's
SENSATION

The Hawaii Shimpo has taken up the
matter of the published story in the
Hawaii Herald of an alleged special
messenger to the Emperor of Japan on
that rulers birthday. from Japanese
of Hawaii to the effect that they Of
fered themselves in any emergency"
The following message has been ad-
dressed, by cable, to President Roose-
welt:
Hawaii Japanese denounce Hilo SEN
sational message absolutely.
HAWAII SHIMPO."
This cable to the President is the
result of gathering of opinion by the
editor of the Hawaii Shimpo and other
prominent local Japanese who are in
dignant over the Hawaii Herald's pub-
LEGATION of what they term a sen sa-
tional article.
President Roosevelt will doubtless
be much interested in and will appre4

two and three strippings. Personally,
he said, he had become convinced that
on all the plantations in which he was
interested stripping was mistake and
he thought stripping on all dry plan
tations a mistake. The saving in labor,
cane and sugar content was large.
A general discussion followed, taken
part in by James Glib, John Scott,
Andrew Adams, H. P. Baldwin, C. C.
Kennedy and others, stripping and non
stripping having each warm advocates.
Mr.. Baldwin said that the matter
had been unsettled for fourteen years
and he urged each manager to enter
into series of experiments to settle
the matter one way or the other, re-
porting at intervals to the Cultivation
Committee, of which he was chairman
The president stated as his opinion
that it was a question beyond settle
ment, as the advocates of stripping
were as strongly convinced of the cor
reetness of their position as were the
advocates of and the believers in non
stripping.
CHRONOLOGICAL REPORT.
The report of G. w. Kirkaldy. act
ing director of the Division of Ento-
moiogy presented his report. 1t dealt
with the present status of the cane
leaf-hopper and its parasites, stating
that it was apparently not too much
to say that if the managers would
strictly continue the restocking of
young cane fields with parasites the
control of the leaf-hopper will be as
sured and further outbreak will be
very unlikely.
In the discussion on the report Mr..
Baldwin advocated the burning of the
cane prior to cutting in order to de-
stroy the hoppers and borers, mill tests
showing that no injury to the juice
resulted therefrom.
LABOR REPORT WILL BE SHORT.
The other reports, among those from
the Experiment Station, included that
of the Division of Pathology and
1t was not taken up, the
hour being late. 1t will be dealt with
this morning, after which the conven-
ton will go into executive session to
consider the report on labor.
This report, according 70 an an
by Secretary W. O. Smith,
will be very short one.

NEW YORK, May 1.-THE stock market
today showed the effect OF mixed Influences

was a depressing factor In stocks and
checked for time an upward tendency
the strength of Union Pacific. Operations
on the wheat crop are influenced not only
by the damage shown i'm the government s

The money market has been stronger
