ONE BIC LAND
DEAL SETTLED
Preliminary Basis Arranged for
the Laupah0ehOe Lease
o Renewal.

''Yes, the Laupahoehoe land matter
is settled; that is, preliminari1y." Gov
ernor Frear said on Saturday in an
swer to a question.
It. Give Davies, representing the
Laupahoehoe Plantation Co. had just
left the executive chamber after a
long conference with the Governor.
1--WE expect to put up the Laupa-
hoehoe lands for leases as a whole, .
the Governor continued.
There are 3O7O acres of it, and it
will be a fve-year lease according to
law.
"The lands will be offered at an upset
rental of $S2S9 a year. Under the old
lease, which expires in April. the gov
ernment receives $1,000 a year for the
lands.
Probably the lands viii be put up
on the conditions just stated. but there
may be further investigations that
viii cause them to be altered to some
extent.
'It is not all cane land. A consid-
erab1e portion is pasture and forest
land, consisting largely of gulches."
Some further conditions, the Govern
or intlmated, will be made known in
the notice of the sale of lease.
This Laupahoehoe matter has been
one of the larger of the land affairs
which has been engaging the earnest
attention of the Governor and Land
Commissioner Pratt for a long time
past. It's settlement on a basis Of
nearly $71oO a year more revenue from
the land would appear to be good bus

FLORAL PARADE
IS LOOKING Up
Reports of Committees Tell of
General Interest and
Helping

feeling of decided encouragement
is manifest among the members of the
Floral Parade committee at the sue
cess beyond all expectation that now
promises to crown their efforts to make
of the parade this year something sur
passing in all respects that of any pre-
vious Washington s Birthday fete.
The individual reports made to Chair
man Gartley by the heads of the
various committees all tell the same
story of increased interest in the cele-
bration and promises of assistance
from very large number of citizens.
These heads of committees will meet
this afternoon in Mr. Gartley's office
to compare notes and arrange their
work so thats everything will run
smoothly and in harmony.
The one new feature of the parade,
the National section, promises to be
one of the very best. Judge Ballou,
who has the section in charge, reports
that several of the consuls have prom
ised that their countries will be be-
eomingly represented in this carnival
of nations. Heading the American
section will be an automobile contain
ing Governor Frear, who viii be ae-
companied by a number of friends,
among whom it is hoped TO have Gov
ernor Pardee, of California, who will
be visitor in the city at that time.
Accompanying the Governors car will
be those of the Army and Navy and
the other branches of the Federal ser
vice, while other autos will have
parties of pretty girls, Americans, Ha-
waiians and others representing the
Indians of the mainland. The National
Guard has also expressed its willing
ness to enter an appropriate float.
The schools are going to be largely
interested in the parade, the repre-
sentatives of the Oahu, Kamehameha

DESPATCH ON THE
CHANNEL REEF AT
LIGHTHOUSE TURN
The New American-Hawaiian Steamer for Local
Service Went on the Reef on Eva Side
of the Channel Yesterday.

is commonly known in this community
that vessels from other than island
ports lie outside until given free
pratique.
AS to this Captain Kokerwitz says
that he is sailing under coastwise
license, and that he understood the
quarantine grounds were to the left
after entering the harbor, just off the
quarantine wharf, and that he was
heading for that position to drop his
anchor and await daylight.
There seems no doubt that If the
Despatch had waited outside in the
quarantine grounds until given free
pratique the mishap would not have
occurreds Equally there seems no
doubt that if the change In the po-
sition of the lighthouse had not been
made, or if Captain Kokerwitz had
known of the change, the accident
would not have occurred. The change
is one that has been planned for a
long time. Local notice that it would
be made January Is was given early
in December The official notice of
the change to take place January Is
appears in the weekly Notice to
Mariners issued from Washington
January 8. This was received in Ho-
nolulu as early as January IS, and
consequently was received in San
Francisco at least a week earlier. The
Despatch sailed from San Francisco
January q, approximately ten days
after the official notice of the change
was received there.
Captain Kokerwitz. however, did not
become master of the Despatch until
a day or two before she sailed, sue
ceeding Captain Hansen. So that It
might readily happen that if the Of
fetal notice of change of marks and
lights was sent to the Despatch by
her owners, it might have been lost
or displaced in the change of masters.
When the Despatch ran on the reef.
says Captain Kokerwitz, she was go
ing very slowly, little more than drift
ing. answering her helm to make the
turn into the harbor, as 1t was sup
posed The reef where she struck IS
soft, rotten coral. The vessel suffered
no severe Jar, and there is not the
slightest indication that the vessel is
damaged Young Brothers were sig
nailed at once and sent launches to
the vessel. Captain Haglund, port
captain of the Inter-Island Steam
Navigation Company, was notified
that a vessel was on the reef, and,
supposing it was one of his company's
vessels, he hastened at once to the
waterfront. taking a launch and going
at once to the vessel, though not go
ing aboard. He asked Captain Kol1er-
WITT if he wanted the assistance of
another vessel. Captain Kokerwitz
felt so sure, from the examination that
he had made, that his vessel was un-

The American-Hawaiian steamship
Despatch, from San Francisco, ran on
the reef on the Eva side of the chan
mel, at a point between the new front
range light and the place where the
old lighthouse stood until recently, at
about o'clock yesterday morning, as
she was coming into the harber. She
rests on an even keel. in smooth water,
alninjured, apparently about a quarter
or a third of her keel resting almost
on the edge of the reel which forms
the Eva side of the channel. the yes
sci herself being almost parallel with
the edge of the reef. The bow of the
vessel is raised so that six or seven
feet below the load water line show,
while the stern is correspondingly de-
pressed.
TT was Captain Kokerwitz' expecta-
ton last night to get his vessel on
the reef at high tide this morning,
which occurs soon after 4 o'clock. He
had placed a large anchor, with sixty
fathoms of cable, astern of the vessel,
and by means Of the steam winches on
the vessel hoped to pull her OF with
the aid of her propeller. If this should
fail he will probably discharge a part
of his cargo forward, and thus tighten
his vessel, and try the same means at
the next high tide.
Captain Kokerwitz explains the sit
uation of his vessel by saying that
he followed the sailing directions COM
ing down the channel, and when
abeam of the lighthouse he began to
turn into the harbor, which brought
his vessel right onto the reef at the
side of the channel, because the light
house is not now where it used to be-
but is further seaward and further 20
the Eva side of the channel, change
that was made January 10 and OF
which Captain Kokerwitz says he had
no notice. The course Captain ko-
kerwitz says he followed was exactly
the course that any navigator would
have followed who did not know that
the position of the lighthouse had been
changed. The mistake he made is
mistake that would so inevitably have
been made by any navigator who did
not know of the change in the position
of the lighthouse, that when the
change was made the Inter-Island
Company sent wireless notification 9f
the change to all masters of their yes
sells in other ports at the time the
change was made.
In coming into the harbor, however,
without waiting outside until the
quarantine physicians had come out
and given his vessel free pratique'

tine regulations, DR.. Sinclair of the
quarantine service says, and laid him
self liable to a fine. Quarantine
Agrounds, by regulation of the Treasury
having the force of law, are outside

Arrest Negro For Assault.

Joe Mullen, a negro stealing a ride, was arrested at Fort Smith on the ar rival of the Frisco passenger Monday morning. Officers had been notified to be on the lookout for the man. A later message came from Hugo to hold the man, as he was wanted for assault.
 The negro explained his presence on the top of the train by saying he had been at work at a tie camp and the foreman lost his pass book, so gave him half dollar and told him to tell the conductor to bring him to Fort Smith. The negro says he gave the message and the coin to the con- ductor, who replied: q cant carry you inside for this; get on top.'

Kirby Gives Oninion


 Attorney General w. F. Kirby Tues day gave out an opinion of statewide interest to members of the Arkansas National Guard. in which he holds the members of the guard, although ex- empt from the payment of road and street tax, cannot withdraw their tax money if they once pay it into the tax fund.
 Several cases have arisen in the state where members of the guard, who probably did not know that they were exempt from the payment of road or street tax, paid their tax and then later, upon learning that they were exempt, attempted to withdraw the money they had paid in. According to My. Kirby's opinion they cannot do this, MT. Kirby holding that when they pay their taxes they thereby waive their right to take advantage of the exemption accorded them.

Robbers Raid a Gamblinq Room.

Armed with magazine guns, four masked men descended the west mountain incline to the rear of the Indiana Club at Hot Springs at an early hour Thursday morning, effected an entrance with pass keys, treaded the heavily carpeted floors with abso- lute quiet until they reached the heavy portiered entrance into the main gam ing hall and there displayed arms and ordered the five employees and Big Dick" Wilkinson of Birmingham, pro- prietor, to turn faces to the walls and throw up their hands.
 The robbers were at first reported to have covered $8,000 in casn, but later statement was issued to the erect that the loss was $4,o00 in cash, and that certified checks and negotia- ble paper were taken from the safe to the extent of $4500. The management of the club would make no statement as to the description of the paper the thieves had taken, fearing that indict- ment for gaming might follow such an announcement.
