.HACkMAN DONAHUE:
ARRESTED ON MAUI

Hackman Charlie Donahue, the man
who made a touch of two hundred and
fifty dollars and then left town without
notifying his landlady. is under arrest
and is expected to be in the station
house this morning
Donahue is not believed by his
friends to have taken the money with
criminal intent, but rather with the
idea that he could go to Maui and
make winning at craps. He has been
playing in bad luck for some time but
could not restrain his passion for the
game so that whenever he had few
dollars he went up against a bad prop
osition.
The first intimation of his arrest on
Maui was given by D. III. Davis, who
reported seeing him in the custody OF
an officer on his way to the steamer
landing. His non-arrival by the XII
nau gave the impression that he had
made his get away before the steamer
left the Maui port. But yesterday aft
ernoon Sheriff Iaukea received the fol-
lowing wireless:
..Donahue in custody, will return on
IwaIani tomorrow morning. Leal.''
Donahue has been a driver On the
290 stand for about a year. He was
for a time in Hilo and was considered
A steady fellow there except for his
gambling propensities. He will prob
ably have a hearing tomorrow.

j, D. SCHUYLER
GIVES HIS VIEWS
The Engineer Strongly Favors
the Nuuanu Storage
Proposition.

T. D. Schuyler the hydraulic engl-
neer brought here from CALIFORNIA oy
the Legislature to expert the Nuuann
dam construction and report thereon,
was asked yesterday for his opinion
on the water storage scheme involved
in that work In substance his reply
was as follows
.I consider it a very excellent
scheme.
..The proposed reservoir will furnish
several million gallons of additional
water supply daily to the city of Ho-
nolulu.
"A very good quality of water, too.
/ have reason to believe.
Not only that, but it will be of great
value as a source of power.
.tThe water in that valley is valu-
able resource of the Territory and
ought to be developed.
'I have not examined the other
sources of water, in Kalihi valley and
elsewhere .
Mr.. Schuyler was found at the Pub
lie Works Department supervising the
typewrfting of his report to the Legis-
lature. This, an Advertiser reporter
had been told. was likely to be pre-
sented on Monday, but Mr.. Schuyler
gave Tuesday as the day.
The reporter asked him what he
thought of the purpose of the dam.
apart entirely from what he had ascer-
tanned in investigating the methods Of
construction. Without any hesitation
he expressed the views above reported
Mr.. Schuylers opinion of the project
in itself fully bears out Governor
Carter's anticipation, expressed In the
Advertiser two years ago. that the pro-
posed storage reservoir would not only
bring the water supply up to volume
that would give residents an ample
supply, both for household purposes
and for irrigation, but would furnish an
increase of power capable of lighting
Honolulu from Diamond Head to Mo-
anaIua.
1t is Mr. Schuyler's intention to re-
turn to California in the Alameda sail,
ing May l. He stated yesterday that
he had never heretofore been officially
consulted about Honolulu's water sup
ply, although he was here with Mr..
Allardt on Mr.. Dil1inghams business.
when Mr. Allardt made a report to the
Government of that day on the SUBJ
ject.

/ The entente cordiale has been BAN
| ished from the House and will not be
/ in evidence again this session. The
time has passed when one member had
some pet bill and the scratching will
probably be done on each others faces
from now on. The appropriation bills
have passed out of the House and
Senate and are now with one excep"
ton ready for the gubernatorial sigma
ture, so there is nothing to look for
by any member there who is bent on
a trade. Everything in the salary line
that can be boosted has been boosted
and the House members and Senators
can now afford to come out into the
open and speak their minds. Some
plain speaking may therefore be look
ed for during the next nine days.
.
There are a lot of sore members.
Sheldon has been badly stirred up dur
ing the latter part of the week by the
way in which three or four of his meas
ures have been voted down. His laun-
dry bill was amended out of existence
by Hughes, his horseshoeing bill was
punctured by Rice and his measure to
limit the time in which actions for
damages could be instituted was killed
because the House was getting tired
yesterday and felt like killing some
thing. Sheldon was SO annoyed that
he threatened to go on the warpath
against Hughes Local option meas
ure, but he cooled down before that
time came.
Hughes is also sore. He IS lost just
as soon as the other members slip into
the fog of diplomacy and he is uncer-
tain what is going on around him. He
knows that his Land bill, which he
nursed carefully through the teething
stages IN the House and sent out to
the Senate with fond fathers bless
ing, has been quietly sidetracked and
put into cold storage until 1909. Tic

that the Nuuanu dam is going to keep
on in the same old way and ne eX-
pressed his views yesterday on the
Liquor bill, which has been fifty days
in the Legislature without his having
a chance TO register a vote on it. Ana
each of these things is just out of MS
reach. He thinks that there ought 10
be some way for him to get hold OF at
least some of them and drag them out
into the light. but he confesses freeiy
that politics is not his game and that
he does not know of any way to hurry.
up affairs although the end of the ses'
sion is within touch. 1t is more in sor-
row than in anger that Hughes refers
to these things.
Akau complains bitterly of the cruel
fate that thrusts upon him the neces-
sity of making the first break when
it comes to a vote on roll call, but he
has this to- console him, he always
knows how he is going to vote.

"They Will Agree"

There has been Il conference be-
tween c. NJ. Levy, for the N p, and
Robert Strahorn. for the North
Coast, at Tacoma, within the last
week looking to the settlement OF
the differences between the compan-
les in the Kennewick locality. They
nave gotten as far as written speci-
ficatiOns Of agreement.
"The negotiations are in better
shape and more likely to go thru
than at any time before" is the word
from those in position to know.
The nature of the agreement, on
which they are working, cannot, OF
course, he divulged at this time.
That the question is up for settle
ment is shown by the presel &C of
Chief Engineer Pitman and Chef En-
gineer of COnstru ton j Newman
this week to look over the situation.
MIR. Newman is still in town and
went down the valley today to look

The agreement is said to include
the use of the ditch bank for a con-
siderable distance above town for a
part of the North Coast grade, thus
preventing damage to some fine
places there The North Coast
would very likely be compelled to
cement the ditch for that distance,
which would be another fbig adyan.
