LIONEL HART CONFE5SES HIS
PART IN WAREHOUSE FIRE
(From Saturdays Advertiser9

Lionel Hart confessed yesterday that
his was the hand that applied the torch
TO the government kerosene oil ware
house on the morning OF Sunday, August
Is, in an unsuccessful attempt to de-
stroy the warehouse, with the great
store OF oils and gasoline there, in order
TO cover up the evidence OF his thiev-
ing from the Standard Oil Company.
He has not, so far, it is understood, at
tempted to implieate George II. Mayer,
the company's local manager, although
he persists in charging Mayer with
being responsible for a large part of
the oil shortage and of having had a
knowledge of his shortages.
This confession was wrung from Hart
yesterday when he was confronted by
evidence, obtained by Sheriff Iaukea,
proving eOnelusively that he had been
at the warehouse only few minutes
before the fire broke out. This evidence
was obtained by the Sheriff, it is sta
ted, through information coming to him
Indirectly that a japanese chauffeur
could tell all about Hart s share in the
matter. The chauffeur was seen and
Hart was arrested. the arrest taking
place at an early hour yesterday morn
ing, his bondsmen in the meanwhile
having withdrawn his surety and asked
that the man be locked up.
The tale of the chauffeur is that Hart
engaged him to drive about town early
on Sunday morning, so that he could
be seen and have an alibi established.
Then he was told TO get down to the
warehouse as quickly as possible. He
drove fast and stopped at the makai
side Of the stockade. Hart climbed the
fence, waited inside a few minutes and
climbed back out of the yard, telling

NEW AUSTRALIAN
LINER FINE ship

The new Australian liner
lust ordered from the yards of Messrs.
Alex. Stephen Il Sons, OF Linthouse, by
the Union Steamship Company of New
Zealand. which took over the old Hsd-
dart Parker line anu now operates the
Canadian service, Is to be
the best and most expensive OF the
large fleet OF steamers owned by the
firm. She will cost over million dol
lars. The new Inner. with the Mirama,
8 recently completed 600 ton steamer,
with two tunnels. will give 3 much
needed improvement 10 the service,
which al present Is VIGOROUSLY poor.
The steamer Aorangi, which arrived on
Friday. occupied % days on voyage
which viii be made by the liner Just
ordered N Is days. Ii Is the intention,
however, it Is understood, TO withdraw
both the Aorangi steamer and the
MIowera, an old steamer which has
been placed IN the service in the stead
of the Manuka, sent TO this port and
Vancouver for two trips during the
busiest season OF travel. The Moana
will Ue continued in the line and OPP
Grated with the Airama and the new
vessel. probably on twenty day sehed-
ule. TIE present schedule gives %

The new steamer, which will be q
twin screw steel modern passenger liner,
Will not only be longer and faster, but
better furnished than any Of the com
pany's steamers, or which the Maheno
and Manuka are at present the best
types. 1t Is probable that she will be
engined with turbines, as is the Maheno,
which vessel was the first TO arrive at
this port propelled by the new motive
power. The new liner will have a
working speed of II knots an hour. She
will be 450 feet IN length, 81 feet in
breadth and 351a feet in depth. She

sengers, well furnished cabins for 220
first class passengers being arranged in
tiers, with two berths TO each state
room, besides accommodation for 100
second class travellers and 100 third
class.
Construction of the new vessel will
be commenced at once and under the
terms u LAC CUALLdCl enc IL " bc uS-
livered in time TO leave Australia 20

IN the autumn OF next year 1t Is con-
sidered probable that another similar

be constructed following the launching
OF this steamer, and within two years
much improved service will be given.

Of Agriculture and Forestry to sue

signed.

Holloway was then designated by
Governor Carter as president and
executive officer. When Mr.. Giffard
returned. a couple Of weeks ago, Gov
ernor Frear asked him to again as
sumo the duties Of president and
executive officer, but he did not see
his way clear to do 1t, so that for the
present at least Mr.. Holloway will
continue as president and executive
officer.

JAPAN HAS HER OWN
LABOR TROUBLES NOW

Under the head, The Irony of
Fate" the Japan Mail, in an issue re-
ceived by the steamer Monteagle,
says:
While Japan is guarding against the
exclusion OF her own laborers from
the United States and elsewhere, fate
with its usual irony has contrived that
she herself should be confronted by
precisely analogous problem in the
matter u Chinese labor. We men
toned in q recent issue that a large
number Of Chinese Iaborers had been
imported into hyushu for work on
the government railways, their month
y wage being only ten yen and their
capability conspicuous. This would
suggest that the men were in govern
ment employ. but such is not the case;
they are employed by the contractor
who has undertaken TO build the line.
What will be the official attitude to-
wards this innovation? Everybody
is familiar with imperial ordinance
352, issued in the year 1899, which
practically vetoes the employment Of
foreign laborers outside the limits de-
fined by the old treaties, unless prev
ious sanction has been obtained from
the governor OF the prefecture con-
cerued. It appears that no such sane
ton has been obtained from the gov
ernor of Kagoshima, and there will
devolve upon him the duty of solving
2 somewhat difficult problem He can
not consent in the fact of ordinance
$50, and II he withholds his sanction,
the world will inevitably say that
Japan herself is doing TO others pre-
cisely what she complains Of them
doing 70 her Thus far only two Of
the leading papers of Toxic have dis
cussed the matter. One is the Main
chi Dempo, which, although II does
not speak in very emphatic terms,
must nevertheless be construed as OBJ
5ecting 10 the influx of Chinese cool
les for precisely the same reasons that
prompt the opposition Offered by the
labor party in America. The other
is the Asahi. which takes the broad
and liberal view that this innovation
is not TO be objected TO. There have
been numerous instances in Japan it
self as well as IN other countries OF
CONSERVATION caused among the labor
ing class by innovations which threat
ened 70 deprive them OF work, but IN
every instance such fears have proved
groundless What contributes to the
prosperity Of the community in gen
eraI must be welcomed without refer
ence 10 its Immediate effects upon any
one section Of IT,"

affirmed the decision of the circuit
court which gave judgment for the de-
PENDANTS. The suit was brought for the

ENLARGEMENT OF HAWAIIAN
FORESTS.

An addition has been made to the
forest reserve in the Island Of Maui by
providing that the Government land
within the limits Of these reservations
at present leased to private parties shall
automatically, at the expiration of the
present leases, become part of the for
est reserves. The extent of the addi-
tions is about $4,000 acres.

RAYMOND RANCH
$1,000 BONDS

An interesting case involving a curl
Gus point of law was submitted to the
Supreme Court for decision yesterday,
under the statute authorizing submits
sions for arbitration. The parties are
the Hawaiian Trust Company. as ad-
ministrator of the estate of Genevieve
Dowsett Dunbar. VS.. the Henry Wa
terhouse Trust Company and James H.
Raymond and Phoebe Raymond. 1t is
set ont in the statement of facts that
Mrs. Dunbar died in November, 1906,
leaving personal estate in this Terri
tory, to wit, fifty bonds of the Ray
mond Ranch, each for $1,000, and num-
inclusive. The Hawaiian Trust COM
pany, as administrator of the estate,
claims that the bonds were sold TO
Mrs. Dunbar under such circumstances
as would justify the administrator in
bringing suit to have the contract Of
sale annulled; that owing to the word
ing of the deed of trust of the Ray
mond Ranch to the Waterhouse Trust
Company to secure the bond issue of

question whether these fifty bonds are
as valuable as those of the issue hav-
ing earlier numbers. The administra-
tor has offered by way Of compromise
to bring suit to annul the sale of the
bonds to the decedent, provided an ex-
change of these bonds numbered from
II to 120 for the fifty bonds number
ed to so, both inclusive, can be made.
All the parties in interest are willing
TO enter into the compromise except
the Waterhouse Trust Company. which
is advised by its attorney that an adj
ministrator can sell but not exchange
the property of his decedent. but
the administrator insists that it Is au-
thorized to make an exchange by way
of compromise for the benefit of the
estate. 1t is to determine whether the
administrator has such power that this
case Is submitted for decision.
The Hawaiian Trust Company is rep
resented by Kinney & Marx, the Henry
Waterhouse Trust Company by Castle

the driver to get out of the neighbor-
hood as soon as he could. The fast
driven machine was seen, however, by
a Hawaiian woman, who recognized
Hart and whose confidential telling of
the tale TO friends resulted in its reach
ing the sheriff s ears and the arrest of
| Hart.
Yesterday at the final session of the
fire inquest a verdict was rendered to
the effect that the fire had been of in
cendiary origin with Hart as the guilty
person. The session was held in secret,
it being given out that there was evil
dence likely to come out to implicate
others in addition to Hart in the oil
shortage. If any such evidence was
given, however, it was carefully sup
pressed after the jury had been dis
charged.
In his confession as to the manner in
which he had entered the warehouse
TO fire it Hart stated that the theory of
the police as to the breaking in of the
bird's-nest window was correct.
At the police station the amount of
information given out regarding the
whole matter is very meager. 1t is
generally supposed, however, that the
arson case against Hart will go direct
to the grand jury and into the Circuit
Court, without any District Court pro
eeedings. From the secrecy observed it
is generally supposed that the investiga
ton into the nre is leading into deeper
matters than had been supposed at first
and some further sensational develop
ments may be looked for.
1t was stated yesterday that the audi
tor of the Standard Oil Company will
arrive here shortly from San Francisco
to conduct an investigation of his own
into the affairs of the company here.
