VALUE OF LEASE Of
EVA CANE LANDS
EXPERTS SAY TT is WORTH FROM
100000 TO HALF A MILLION
HOLT SAYS MORE.

The Tax Appeal Court held a session
this morning to hear more evidence of
the Oahu Railway e Land Company
the Oahu Railway & Land Company
to certain cane lands obtained from
the Campbell Estate and released to
Eva Plantation. The following were
questioned relative to this matter: L..
Tenney Peck, E. 1. Spalding, J. L.
Pvormann, George H. Kenton and j..
M. Dowsett. The experts valued the
lease at from 100000 to over 100000.
The company had made no return on
the lease. Tax Assessor Holt slapped
on an assessment of $640,350.
Holt maintained in his position that
the rental amounted to about SAT 900
yearly, while experts today reduced
this amount to about $4,000, as it was
claimed that various possible contin-
gencies might arise and these posi-
bilities had to be figured in arriving
at valuation of this kind. The case
was practically concluded so far as
evidence goes, and will now be sub
mitted on briefs.

WANT MAN
IN HILO.
DISTRICT ATTORNEY BRECKONs
AND MARSHAL HENDRY OFF
FOR HILO FOR SALOON MAN.

Hilo is wondering what United
States District Attorney r. W. Breck-
ons and U. S. Marshal Eugene r. Hen
dry are doing in that city. There are
a few in Hilo who know and they are
Deputy Collector of Customs and Act
ing Shipping Commissioner Baird,
Deputy U. S. Shipping Commissioner
II. B. Gehr and r. A. Lucas, a saloon
keeper who is the central figure in an
investigation being held.
Word comes from Hilo to the effect
that Herbert b. Gehr is up in the
Crescent City as a specially deputized
agent of Shipping Commissioner H. N.
Almy of Honolulu to search out alleg-
ed fraudulent notes payable to X. A.
Lucas from the wages of seven sea-
men of the American ship John Ena
which recently left that port tor
around the Horn to Delaware Break
water with sugar
Soon after Gehr arrived in Hilo the
U. S. District Attorney and the U. S.
Marshal put in an appearance and GU
riosity was excited.
Gehr, says the Hilo report, was arm
ed with instructions from Amy to i'll
vestigate thoroughly the history OF
seven allotment notes of $50 each,
amounting to S21O, which were in the
name of r. A. Lucas, signed by the
sailors of the John Ena, approved and
ready for payment.
Just before Gehr reached Hilo the
notes were in the hands of Baird, as
acting Shipping Commissioner, for en-
dOrsement, when Saloonkeeper r. A.
Lucas called on Baird and withdrew
the notes and their duplicates. lie
has not presented them for payment
to the agents of the John Ena and -
now looks as if he were willing to
throw away the chance of cashing in
for $210. When Gehr wanted to see
the notes he found they had been
withdrawn and when he inquired OF
Lucas concerning the withdrawal the
latter said he would not present them
for payment, nor would he hand them
over 1t is reported that Lucas has
destroyed the notes.
Gehr has made out a good case and,
it is believed, has so reported to Almy.
The allegation is that the seven
notes signed by sailors of the John
Ena over to r. A. Lucas are for great
er amounts than the sailors referred
to ever received in cash or equivalent
from R. A. Lucas.
Lucas, it is alleged, got the sailors
to sign for amounts greater than any
Indebtedness. This is an offense pun
ishable on each count by a fine not ex-
ceeding $500 or Imprisonment on each
count for a term not exceeding six
months, in the discretion of the court.
Should the charge against Lucas be
true and should he be tried and con-
Victed he would, on the seven counts,
be liable to fines aggregating $3.50
and Imprisonment amounting to 3 10
years.
His withdrawal of the notes and
refusal to present them to be cashed
is the most peculiar incident of the
case.
Almy notified Gehr by wireless to
proceed with the investigation, after
Gehr had communicated with Amy to
the effect that Lucas had withdrawn
the notes.
incidentally Breckons will investi-
gate other allegations, outside of those
touching on the allotment note
charges, while in Hilo.

HAWAII NOT ON
CARNEGIE MAP
ACTING GOVERNOR RECEIVES
WORD THAT HAWAIIAN HEROES
MUST DO WITHOUT MEDALS.

According TO a ruling by the Car
negie Hero Commission, Hawaii is not
part of the United States. This
somewhat surprising announcement
was made to Acting Governor Atkin-
son this morning, in a letter from the
manager of the Carnegie hero medal
fund.
The letter was as follows
New York, June 6, 1907
Hon. A. l.. c. Atkinson,
Acting Governor of Hawaii,
Honolulu.
Dear Sir: Referring 20 my letter OF
May 4th, 1906, in the case of one
Buaiwa, in whose interest you address.
ed a letter to me, under date of Apri
18th, 1906, beg to inform you that at
meeting of the commission, held on
the 18th ult, the following resolution
was adopted:
"Whreas, Alleged heroic acts per
formed in Porto Rico, an insular pos
session of the United States, and in
Hawaii, an organized Territory of the
United States, have been called to the
attention of the commission, and
Whereas. In consequence thereof a
question has been raised as to what
geographical territory should be con-
sidered as being the UNITED States"
within the meaning of the Scope of the
| Fund therefore be it
Resolved, That the term United
States as applying to the Scope of the
Fund be construed to mean the States
Of the Union, at the time of the es-
Enlistment of the Fund, the District OF
Columbia, the organized Territories of
Arizona, New Mexico and Oklahoma
and the unorganized territories of In
dian Territory and Alaska"
In accordance with this resolution,
regret to say that norfurther action
can be taken in the case of Kuaiwa
and the papers have been filed
Again thanking you for your cour-
tesy in the matter beg to remain,
Yours very truly,
M. w ll4NIOIN 1,
Manager.
Some time ago Acting Governor At
kinson took up the case of Kuaiwa
native of Lahaina who performed
one of the most heroic acts on record
A Japanese fishing sampan was over
turned in a storm off Lahaina and
three Japanese were clinging helpless
to the upturned craft. Kuaiwa swan
out to the craft and rescued two OF
the men and started third time to
get the other remaining man but the
latter gave up fighting for life and was
drowned The native was in the wa
ter for over two hours. The deed was
one Of the most remarkable on re-
cord.
Atkinson sought to secure for him
the Carnegie medal and the cash prize
for saving life. Considerable cores
pondence on the subject has already
passed but the letter today would seem
to settle the chances of the Hawaiian
hero obtaining either the medal or the
competence, so far as the commission
is concerned

DOESN'T It PAY
TO BE HONEST?
Battling Nelson Thinks 1t Does
and Gives His Reasons
Why.
BY lad.

From Los Angeles we get a sweet
little story saying that Burns double
crossed" O'Brien in the go the other
night and raised all sorts of Cain out
there
What, Dear old Jawn O'Brien
mixed I'D in fake? Ye gods.
They say that O'Brien would not
fight Burns unless the latter agreed to
John to win easily,
We had often heard those stories
concerning O'Brien, and quite a few
were proven.
They say he had it fixed with Tom
my Ryan at Philadelphia
They say he fought fixed go with
Mccoy at Philadelphia
They say he bet on himself and lost
to Young Peter Jackson in Frisco.
Well. IL they are all true, Jawn was
given the surprise of his life in the
ring with Burns the other night All
was well until they got into the ring
and then the manager, smelling
mouse, had all bets declared off. Burns,
who had been sore at O'Brien for years.
never really intended to lay down. but
sailed into lawn for dear life and al
most Knocked his head off. Can you
imagine the surprise of the Quaker
gentleman when he saw Burns, who
was to play dead dog" fighting like a
demon?
The carefully laid trap caught the
fellow who set it.
The Faker stung.
The faker stung, 1t reminds me Of a
story Battling Nelson told us when he
was here q few months ago. Fakes
look nice and soft when you first hear
them, but the honest fighter, like John
L. Sullivan, Young Corbett and Jack
Dempsey, outlive the takers by hun
dreds of years.
Who win think Of O'Brien, Cans.
Britt or Ryan when they are down and
out?
Will they be given rousing benefits?
Does it pay to fight on the level?
That's an old question that you hear
occasionally. Some one says, "Oh,
what's the use of being on the level?

STRANG Is INTERESTED
IN FLYING MACHINES

Sammy Strang OF the New Yorks is
about the only professional baseball
player up to date that is known to be
interested in the flying machine sport.
Sammy. be it known, is a college man,
and the son Of wealthy parents down in
sunny Tennessee, where the Giants
outfielder halls from, and whose name
is not Strang. by the way, he having
assumed this fictitious appellation when
he first started to play In the South
ern league. Anyway, Sammy is a great
aeronaut, IL not in practice, at least in
theory, and he never tires talking about
his favorite subject.
The other day he and Dahlen, the
shortstop, were discussing flying ma
chine subjects and Sammy made some
remark relative to the joining of an
aero club, when Dahlen said: 1T would
be all right If they met in a hall like
other clubs, but as you say, Sammy,
they hold their meetings up in the
air." he added.
'"They sure do" replied Strang, "but
that's where the novelty comes in"
Yes" responded Dahien, but, say,
wouldn't it be awful if they'd drop
man for non-payment of dues?"

Britt and other fellows have made In
taking. When fellow is on the level
he loses, like Young Corbett, and
that's the end of him."
Yes. he loses: but he always has
friends. Do you think that any faker
would be given benefit or helped out
by the sporting men il he was ever in
need?
Battling Nelson told bunch at
Philadelphia one night his side OF the
fake dope
When ne was up in Butte to fight
Herrera some years ago a prominent
sporting man offered him $4,000 to lay
down to Herrera. Bat refused, telling
the sport that he was out to win, and
that he would win, and the best way
to make ten thousand bucks was to
play his end. Nelson did win. He got
the long end of that purse and ten
other big wads that more than paid
him for his honesty.
Had he faxed he would have passed
up his other battles that made him
both rich and famous.
This is what Nelson made by being
honest. In his battles with the follow
ing men his end was this:
Corbett, first time $4,000.
Corbett, second time, So, 500. Bet on
outside, $1,000.
Britt, first time, IS, 900.
Britt, second time, S25, 900.
Cans. $4,000.
McCovern, $4,000.
Attei. $500
O'Neil, $500.
Sullivan, 81 800
Does it pay to be on the level?
Ask me.

Hands off, and WILLIAM, unhand that

fill the gallery gods hearts with glee.
They used TO give the Rube a heavy

out, which was frequent, to say the
least. One day when the show was

respectful admiration OF group of his
friends, who were telling him that he
had Richard Mansfield and John Drew
