ENORMOUS ADVANCE
IN HUMUULA RENTAL

Land Commissioner Pratt yesterday
sold at public auction the lease for
twenty-one years of Humuula sheep
ranch land, containing 50, $50 acres. An
upset annual rental of $500 was the
stirling point, being an advance from
$1,000 a year paid under the present
lease expiring year hence. The lease
went to the Humuula Sheep Station
Co., the present lessee, for an annual
rental of $3.50.
E. H. Wodehouse represented the
company at the sale. His sole opponent
in bidding was A. l. C. Atkinson. From
the opening bid of one dollar above
the upset figure made by Wodehouse,
the competition warmly continued by
fifty and hundred dollar advances until
Atkinson dropped out at $500.
The difference between the upset price
and the selling price will amount to
$97 $50 for the term of the lease. Sam
uel Parker. for the Parker ranch. ac-
quired the Humuula station by pur-
chase from the Macfarlanes eight years
ago. 1t has s.@4ce, under its own cor
porate name, been an adjunct of the
Parker ranching interests. The ranch
carried about 400, 900 sheep at the time
Parker got it.

JAIL BREAKER LOPEZ
AGAIN At LIBERTY

Francisco Lopez, who has escaped
from the jails of the-Gerritory time
and time again, and who only recently
was released from the Oregon Boot,
regained his liberty again on Sunday
night or early Monday morning. With
him went Juan Roderigues, another
Porto Rican, the pair escaping through
the window of their cell in the Oahu
prison, in which the bars had been sawn
through and twisted aside to allow
them egress. From the appearance of
things aid from the outside was given
them.
The window of the cell in which the
pair were confined was easily accessi-
BILE from the outside, an outbuiIding
coming up to within two feet of it.
Whoever did the saving evidently stood
on this building, shielded from OBJ
servation by blanket, tied from the
bars of the window he was working
on to the bars of the next cell, which
happened to be vacant
The hole through which the pair
squeezed to liberty is so small that it
is hardly believable that grown men
could get through, being only about ten
lHcHeS WlCle anu ScaTcetN n IO0b Hign.
A few days ago another Porto Riean,
friend of the two, was released on
the expiration of his time and it is
the suspicion of High Sheriff Henry
that this man has had a hand in the
escape. A lookout is being kept for
him as well as for tn two runaways
Lopez, since his last capture, has been
heard to make many threats against
certain persons whom he accuses of
having given him up TO the authorities
and the police and the High Sheriff
have an idea that ne will next be heard
from from these persons, as it is not
unlikely that he will attempt to carry
out his threats against. them. He has
been serving time for the past six
years on a sentence that was original
" for only six months for assault His
other sentences have been for Jail
breaking. This time he had only three
months more to serve. His companion,
Roderigues. was under sentence of two
years for larceny.

NAKANO'S THICK HEAD
too MUCH FOR BULLET

Nakano, a japanese, shot himself in
the head yesterday morning. with a
32-ealiber revolver in an attempt to
commit suicide A bullet from a 80
ealiber cartridge will penetrate four
inches of board and put a dent in an
iron pot, but it didn It phase Nakano
except to knock him out for the time
being, the bullet actually mushrooming
ON his thick skull, doing no further
damage than TO penetrate the feshy
covering of the forehead.
1t was at the Old Plantation that
the attempt at suicide was made and
the man walked from there to in front
of the Judiciary building before he
fell. He was found iH the early morn
ING bv Officer Kekipi and was taken
to the Queen s Hospital, where the
tri7iug extent of his wound was learn
ed. He was then taken to the police
station ami held for a short while, be-
ing finally released without any charge
being preferred against him. He ae-
knowledged that he had made the at
tempt upon his life. having been sick
and weary of existence.
The next time he win probably at
tempt hanging. when. if he hasn't a
rubber neck, the job may be better
done.

In connection with the reassuring in

ing operations given below, the Adver.
tiser last night obtained information
as to the origin of the report that the
projected extension had been declared
Off.
1t appears that post contractor
had conveyed the story of the suspen-
sion Of preliminaries to officers of the
Merchants Association. 1t was from
an officer of that body that the Ad-
vertiser received the disquieting in
formation. On the same day Secretary
f. III. Paris gave the news to an after
noon paper. which used it forthwith
and therefore in advance of next
morning s Advertiser.
Secretary II. P. Wood yesterday
cabled President James T. Morgan of
the Chamber of Commerce:
Quartermaster General says addi-
tional work will be pushed as soon as
plans are completed and approved"
This was in reply to Mr.. Morgan s
cabled query:
Why appropriation additions Camp
Shafter not expendedq'
All this is with reference to the
lately published report that the call
for tenders for erecting additional
buildings at Fort Shafter, to cost $780,
600, had been eountermanded on ae-
count of report by the post surgeon
that day mosquitoes infested rice and
taro fields near Fort :Shafter. The vel
low fever carrying mosquito it was said
to be, and the inference was that it
would be mourning risk to place a
large body of troops in such a locality.
Major Cunning is quoted as dis
claiming any connection with the origin
of the disturbing report in question.
