WITNESS TURNED
OVER TO JUDGE

Paul Muhlendorf manager of Allen
& Robinson, Ltd, has been turned over.
as witness in the lumber trust case,
to Judge Dole for a decision on the
question of how far he may carry hia
reticence under examination by the
United States attorney. Although he
gave a good deal of the information de-
sired Of him yesterday, his second day
on the stand. District Attorney Breck-
ons and Assistant District Attorney
Dunno evidently were not satisfied
with his answers. either as to fulnesl
or directness. and were pressing him
hard late In the afternoon for more ex.
plicit evidence when counsel for de-
PENDANTS interfered on his behalf.
Mr.. Stanley. as the spokesman. inti'
mated the opinion that the line Of ex'
animation was unfair.
Mr.. Breokons retorted that he wa'
tired of hearing that charge In th'
course Of the investigation before Com
missioner Hatch. Thus far every ref
erence on that score made to Judg'
Dole had been decided in favor of tn
United States He now proposed Z
submit the entire examination of thi
witness to the Judge and ask for hi
ruling.
u Accordingly the Commissioner ad
journed his court until $3.50 this after
noon so as 10 give time for the cour
reporter to transcribe the testimon
and Judge Dole to rule upon both ques
: tions and answers.
!. Messrs. Stanley. Olson. Judd. Hem
, enway and Greenwell formed the ar
ray OF counsel for defendants In coui
yesterday.

BANANA INDUSTRY
IS BEING KILLED

The banana industry OF the Hilo dis
trict is practically killed. A year
after the nrst shipments were made.
the 8. S. Enterprise carried from Hilo
nearly ten thousand punches a trip.
On account of the unfair treatment re-
ceived by the growers at the hands OF
the commission men In San Francisco.
coupled with the fact that Bluehelds
bananas are admitted free and carried
from the original point Of shipment
via New Orleans, for something like
fifteen cents bunch. the Hilo ship
ments have fallen to less than thou
sand a trip. The lowest freight rate
given by the Matson line was forty
five cents a bunch from Hilo TO Sar
Francisco and the rate from the fielt
to Hilo was ten cents. when the fieit
was near the railway.
There are ninety -eight thousand pine
apple plants bearing and to be croppe'
this year. One Japanese, who pay
twenty-five dollars year per acr
rental, cleared nearly five hundred dol
lars an acre on his land so plante'
last year. A difiiculty between tn
Gamers Association and the planter
resulted In several thousand plants be
ing taken up few months ago.

STANLEY ON
WARPATH

President Stanley. at the Bar Assocf'
alton meeting yesterday, left the chair
to make a statement accusing Attorney
General Peters of improper practice in
interviewing his client and witness in
probate case. Owing to small at
tendance the matter was deferred.
A letter from Third Assistant Secre-
tary of State Huntington Wilson re-
gretfully told of the rejection of the
Consular Conference proposal.
Frank L. Hatch and l.. G. Kellogg
were elected as members.
1t was noted to ask the Legislature
for a salary for librarian and assist
ant to keep the Law Library open at
all hours Sundays included) other than
between midnight and a. M. each
day.
At the instance of the Chamber of
Commerce it was decided to ask for
legislation to modify the jury system,
so as to make it less burdensome to the
business community.
An amendment to the constitution,
pending since November last, relating
to the punishment of members for de-
linquency of dues and unprofessional
conduct, was adopted with slight modi-
fcation.
Those present were President Stan.
ley, Secretary Marx, Messrs. Robertson,
Perry, Cathcart, Davis, Greenwell,
Clemons, Hemenway, Thompson, Peter
son, Watson, Smith, Harrison, Middle
ditch and Rawlins.

LEGISLATIVE
LANAI INVESTIGATION

opinion expressed at meeting held in
my Office yesterday in regard to the
proposed exchange of the lands of La
mai appeared to me to favor an ex-
change and I now desire you to pro-
ceed with the next steps in the mat
ter, viz: to ascertain whether any re-
sponsible party in the Territory will
offer the upset price or higher figure.
Satisfying yourself on this point, be-
fore accepting any PERSONS bid l would
like you to report to me.
every sincerely yours,
"GEORGE R. CARTER.
"Governor.
Mr. Pratt testified that while Mr.. Gay
was the only man who had bid for
the lands that it was the intention
of the officials that the bidding should
be open to all parties. He stated that
had one person offered piece of the
property desired in Honolulu for 1000
acres of land ON Lanai and had made
fair offer it might have been ac-
cepted. However the 1000 acres could
not be the kernel of the nut as that
would have prevented the Government
from getting rid of the balance of the
lands. Pratt discussed the possibili-
ties of cutting up the land and ex-
changing it at some length.
Representative Rawlins finally asked
the Land Commissioner the following
direct question: "Did you have IN
mind the benefit of the people of Ha-
waii or the benefit of Mr.. Gay when
you made the deal for the exchangef"
"I had the benefit of the people at
heart and my own benefit as one of the
people, was the answer.
"Let me ask you one thing further"
continued Mr.. Rawlins "Was there
any kind of secret understanding
existing between the territorial Off
cials and Mr.. Gay whereby he would
get the lands irrespective of other
biddersi"
"No, sir, there was not. 1t was
simply cold business deal on my part
to exchange lands which were causing
the expenditure of the funds OF the
Territory for property its equal In
