The next five years saw the great

had increased only 4 per cent, capt.

Horseshoes are protected by a tarln OF

the Americrn buyerof horseshoes pays
a considerably higher price for them

N|LuKEN BROS. BROKE

New York, N. Y, June 10-Cred-
itors filed petition in bankruptcy
against Milliken Brothers, incorpor-
ated, in the United States Circuit
Court late today. Unsecured liabili-
ties were placed at about $3.500,O00
and in addition to this it is under
stood that about $1,O00,000 of the
companys Indebtedness is secured.
William Nelson Cromwell, counsel
for the firm, said when asked what
the bankruptcy proceedings meant
ind the reason for them:
1--WE were short of money. Our
hundreds of contracts all over the
world, our Pennsylvania tunnel con-
tract the Singer building contract
and the plant on Staten Island tied
up enormous sums, and while wo
might easily have tided over the af-
fairs of the company for period, the
desire of the directors was to place
the corporation on permanent ba-
sis. The aim is to keep the contracts
going and the ability of the corpora
ton to raise the necessary money for
that purpose was not sufficient"

TO BUILD ROAD
CONTINUED from PAGE u

a very good road part of the way
and proposes to spend considerable
time, labor and money on it's compile
tion and in keeping it in good repair
When operations were first started
at the Point there was practically no
road for most of the distance beyond
the ford. The building of the light
house will necessitate a large amount
CT hauling of supplies, material, etc,
and therefore a good road is neces-
gary.
From the pond the other side of
the ford near KokO Head very good
road has already been constructed up
over the saddle-back and down on the
other side 1t is the intention to
complete this road on to the Govern
,ment construction camp, which is sit
uated just this side of Makapuu
Point near the little bay that lies be-
tween the Point and Koko Head At
ter the road is finished, Captain Of
well will devote his attention to put
ting into repair the rest of the road
from Honolulu out to the beginning
of his new road During recent
months this road, which used to be
a very good one, has greatly deteri-
Grated and is now full of rocks and
holes. The Government road beyond
is in considerably better condition.

PAYNE
BOOMING HAWAII

Secretary Wood of the Promotion
Committee has received letter from
Chas. A. Payne the lecturer, who
spent some time in Hawaii recently
Payne states that during the first
twelve days after he returned to the
mainland he gave nine addresses on
Hawaii, the first of which was al
Oakland he made at least one con
vert" namely: Hubert Merrill, who
said he would visit Hawaii. PAYNE
also gave lecture before the Colo
RADIO State Normal School at Greeley
before 500 students and teachers.
81 find myself very enthusiastic,
says Payne, land also find keen inter-
est and answering enthusiasm among
the people to whom | speak.
Il have written to the Chatauquas.
where | am to speak this summer,
telling them of the Hawaiian lecture,
and ] presume that most of them will
want it. l am getting a good many
other invitations for this lecture also.
] think it is going to be very popu-
lar"
The Promotion Committee also re-
ceived short note from l. A. Ma
deau, the director general of the Alas
ka-Yukon Exposition, stating that he
would probably accompany the eX-
cursion of Seattle business men to
Hawaii, which is to take place next
December.
Notice was also received from the
Overland Monthly and the San Pedro

Hawaii was being advertised by

rendered a decision on the appeal of
Emma l.. Dillingham; from the assess
ment on her property. Assessor Holt
placed tax value on it of $4,000,
against IA returned value of $22, 800,
Later the owner offered TO compromise
on 100000, but Holt refused and the
matter was left for the Commissioners

ion that the compromise offer was a
fair one and order that the property be
assessed at $i0,000.

NO ROOM LEFT
FOR PASSENGERS
ON TRANSPORTS

Acting Governor Atkinson has re-
ceived a letter from United States Dep
uty Quartermaster General George
Ruhlens saying that up to January l
all the transports are filled up and
there is no room left for transportation
for anybody else.
This is a severe blow to a number
of Territorial Government officials
who have been planning to take bust
ness or vacation trips to the States
or to the Orient. The opinion is eX-
pressed in some quarters that the rea-
son there is no further room on the
transports lies not so much in the fact
that they are filled as in the objections
raised by steamship companies to the
Government carrying passengers who
might otherwise be obliged to pay
fare to the commercial companies. 1t
is liable to help the latter out consid-
erably

POSTPONED

The dinner and dance that was tC
be given Thursday evening at the
Seaside Hotel in compliment to Miss
Lily Murray has been postponed I'M
til Friday evening. The postpone
ment was caused by misunderstand-
ing with the hotel management as to
the evening desired by Miss Murray's
friends, and as there will be public
dance and band concert at the Sea-
side on Thursday evening it was
thought best to postpone the private
affair.

Ger. Wade
Soon Free

George Wade, a man who has been
Il prisoner in Oahu Jail for about
eight years, will soon be out His
term, with the deduction made for
good conduct, ends about the latter
part of this month. High Sheriff
henry states that he will be allowed
to come out and see what progress
the world has made in the eight long
years since he went behind the pris-
on bars for the killing of a fellow
man.
Wade is the man who, something
over eight years ago, killed another
nan named Gillispie on the Austria
liza while she was lying in Honolulu
harbor. Wade was under the inhu-
.Cnce Of liquor at the time, which pos
.sibly accounts for the fact that he
was sentenced to life imprisonment
instead of death when he was found
guilty of murder by jury.
The affair created a good deal of a
sensation at the time on account Of
the fact that Wade applied for and
was granted a writ of habeas corpus
by the United states Court lie was
released but was afterward reauest-
ed, tried, convicted and sentenced to
ten years imprisonment, lie has now
served about eight years and as he
has been am exceptionally good pris-
uner accurding to the statement of
the lligh sheriff, he is due 90 regain
his liberty and start life over again,

Ctty's Supply of Autom0b1le Designa-

 Montgomery is achieving distinction as the city of autos. She Is fast com ing to the front In this direction.
 Up to date, City Clerk Farley says, there are in the capital city. sixty seven machines properly licensed and authorized to do business. and he re- ports that more are coming and that some are on the way.
 Last August, the clerk says, he orr dered metallic numbers up to seventy for the purpose of running the city auto licenses, thinking that all would not be called for during the twelve months. So fast, however. have the numbers been going that the city or dered from the Niagara Falls Metal Stamping Works last week numbers from 70 to 100 inclusive. and the same arrived yesterday.
 Of late there has been especial de- .mand in the city clerks office for auto licenses, and often. as on yesterday. the auto license is the only one issued during the day, bringing to the city $1.
 Judging from the average new autos that have been reaching the city In the past two months. It is expected that the new numbers will be used up almost oy the end of October. The numbers are of good metal and are nickle plated. and will serve as ornaments to the car wearing them.
