periled Men.

NEW YORK. April S-A thrilling res
cue Of twenty-eight shipwrecked men
was made during the trip OF the steamer
Noturno, Of the New York and Con-
tinentaI steamship line.
On the VoturnO were twenty eight
members Of the crew of the French fish
ing schooner Champagne. which was
struck by a hurricane. The little vessel
was dismantled and her men would have
found ocean graves but for the bravery
OF the crew OF the Volturno.
The wrecl1ing or the Champagne.
which sailed early in February from
Saint Molo, France, was swift. After
sailing in a comparatively calm sea-
and while Captain Delahande was below
and Mate Robinson on watch, she rode
into the hurricane that caused so much
trouble 70 transatlantic shipping
Disaster Came Quickly.
Before sail could be taken IN. both
masts had been snapped off near the
deck and her lifeboats smashed. Wide
seams were sprung in her hull and il
was known that she must sink in
few hours
The twenty-eight men on the Cham
payne took TO the pumps, hoping 20 keep
their craft ahoat until the storm abated.
II was at sunset February = that the
Voturno hove in sight. Capt. James
Harrison ordered the ship swung
around. and approached as near AS pos
slble TO the doomed schooner.
The gale had increased and Il was
certain that no small boat could get
alongside in the darkness. The No-
turnO was brought as near the schOOne-
as possible and Captain Harrison called
through his megaphOne, telling the men
on the wreck to keep up their courage,
as he would not leave them

Dawn broke, but still the furious seas
forbade an attempt at rescue. It was
nearly sunset again. tWenty-fcUr hours
after the wreck was sighted that Cap

measures. He called for volunteers and
al the crew OF the NOturno responded.
Finally Chief Officer Mcintosh was
chosen. and with a crew OF six tried
10 launch a Iifeboat. OH was used about
the small boat, which finally got away
from the snip. For more than an hour

HILO'S ANNUAL YACHT RACE.

+. Z. Richards touched a popular
chord when he suggested at the Hilo
luncheon for Trans-Pacific yachts
men that the Honolulu-Hilo yacht
race be made an annual affair.
The ocean race In which three Of
our own yachts participated this year
proved that we have some excellent
yacht-builders and great flock of
daring sailors. The performance of
the Kamehameha and the courage of
the crew that manned the little Glad

fine sportsmon are found in Homo

come up to the mark expected at the
outset.
II Hilo could build a yacht for an
annual contest, 1t would give an i'm
petus to the sport that would be OF
benefit to the people OF our sister
city, and promote sport that is
worth while. Annual contests be-
tween this city and Hilo would de-
velop an interest that would be
healthful and the competition must
result in one or more first-class boats
when Hawaii combines to meet the
best Of the Pacific Coast.

KUH!O'S TARIFF CONFERENCE.

Delegate Kuhio's proposal to call a
meeting of all the interests of the
Territory affected by tariff legislation
is not only good one but the pro-
gram should be outlined and the ma
chinery set in motion at the earliest
possible date.
Hawaii should approach the tariff
issue as Territory with all inter-
ests working together for general de-
velopment and preservation of our
prosperity.
1t is no secret that the very life
blood of our industries is the pro-
tective tariff. 1t is also well known
that our lands would offer wider
range OF opportunity for Americans
IL the policy of protection were ex-
tended to cover other agricultural in
dustries than those already built up
by this great prosperity promoter.
Hawaii should approach Congress
as unit. Its various interests
bhoulu cooperate ana IL should De
recognized from the start that no in
dustry with any suggestion OF a flu
ture is too small to receive recogni-
ton.
Sugar is of course our mainstay.
But there are others that must be
looked after, and even sugar will not
lose prestige by being one OF many
engaged in good cause.
The principal value Of beginning
early is to secure complete compi-
lation OF statistics so that a powerful
array OF facts may be set before the
tariff commission. and the revision
lists OF the Congressional session that

HAWAIIS VOLCANO OF TODAY.

1t Is a mighty good thing that the
Fool-Killer has cuieted the man who
was forever asking whether the Vol
cano Is an asset. He might other
wise have frightened few of the
timid ones from viewing a sight of a
lifetime now constantly on view at
the pit OF Kilauea.
Never in its history has Hawaii
presented the Volcano in such an at
tractive form as today. History re-
cords that the fires in the pit have
been more active and the lava over
flowed on the floor of the greater
crater, but the present combination
OF convenience in making the trip
and hotel comforts after arriving at
kilauea has not been equaled at any
time.
The Volcano today is a first-class
attraction In every respect. The ac-
tivity is gorgeous and awe-inspiring.
And the improvement in the hotel
management has been in keeping
with the renewal of volcanic life.
The hotel has been renovated. and

Sheriff laukea this forenoon took

sion that his own evidence coupled
with that OF Townsend and with the
interviews given by Isoi to the pa
pers would be sufficient to base a
case on. He did not believe. how
ever. that he should himself take the
initiative in the matter, but rather

to which he would refer the matter,

would sign the complaint against
Isoi, II such were issued. Iaukea was
OF the opinion that the affair was of
such magnitude that steps ought to
be taken. and that ii would be the
best thing to have the entire matter
threshed out in the courts. He went
to see the Attorney General this FORE
noon between IL and IL o'clock, and
had long conference with him.
When he came out OF the Attorney
Generals room, he stated that the
matter was now entirely in the hands
Of Mr.. Hemenway. and he therefore
had nothing further to say.
"The Sheriff has told me the en-
tire story. but It does not differ in
any way from the stories that have
already been given in the newspa-
pers," stated Attorney General Hem
enway. HE asked me to investigate
tn whole proposition, and have
agreed to do so. The Sheriff has had

Mr.. Hemenway refused to state
whether or not the matter would be
put before the Territorial Grand
Jury, which meets tomorrow. but al
any rate 1t is certain that he will
conduct an investigation.

wanted $500. The condition I'M
der which the amount of $500 was
to be paid over was that Townsend
should give note to me for $500,
and 1aukea in the meantime was to
give one note to Townsend for the
amount. Pending this negotiation,
1aukea heard that Chief of Detect
ives Taylor had heard of the 800
note and he asked that the matter
stand over for week.
THE matter leaked out and Breck-

case. At his request l let Mr.. Breck-

Since then 1aukea feared the ac-
ton of Breckons, and requested that
Townsend give new note in place
OF the original one. This was ac-
ceptable to me, and Townsend gave
me new note for and in behalf of
laukea. The note was subsequently
settled.
