ANOTHER RAISED
MONEY ORDER.
JOHN KAPU DETECTED AT NAA.
LEHU IN VERY CLUMSY AT
TEMPT TO BEAT UNCLE SAM.

HILO, April Post Office Inspec-
tor f. j. Hare was in town last week
in connection with another case of
raising a postal order, crime which
seems to have become epidemic here
on Hawaii
John Kapu, at present in jail await
ing trial at the Kailua term on
charge Of robbing GreenwelIs store,
is the man suspected of the act,
which was about as clumsy an at
tempt at fraud as could be imagined.
Kapu went to the post office at Ke-
alakekua and there bought an order
for $40 payable to Johnny Sam at
Naalehu. Later a man, identified as
Kapu, appeared at the Naalehu Office
and said that he was Johnny Sam"
He had the order with him Out it
had been raised from $40 to 800 by
the simple process of adding an co.
to the ten. The addition was made
with an indelible pencil, not with ink
which correspondent with that of the
order and the written words Ten
dollars" in the body of the order were
not changed at all. These discre-
pancies were pointed out to johnny
Sam by the postmistress but he still
insisted that he wanted a hundred
dollars. He did not get the money,
the raised order being confscated
and sent to Honolulu. Meanwhile
Kapu seems to have turned his atten.
ton to other branches of industry and
was caught in the attempt at bur.
glary before the post office people
could get after him.
From present appearances "Kapu'
is not what the yawning Jail doors
will say to John when the different
Circuit and Federal courts get
Through with him.-Tribune

HILO, April 2.-The usual activity
up at the Volcano has continued dur
ing the past week the Tribune says,
and visitors to the pit of Halemaumau
bring down vivid stories Of the surg
ing food of lava which is lashing it.
self into frenzy in that terrible abyss.
Every night parties have descend
ed to the center of the crater and it
is very far from being joke to add
that many Of the more nervously con-
stituted took but one glimpse and,
despite the magnificence Of the sight,
wished to get away. That there is
no danger is assured, but to people
unused to living next door to live
volcano the sight is disturbing.
On Saturday night there was a re-
markable display. During the after
noon, it seems the lava food, which
had been rising steadily, suddenly
dropped for over a hundred feet, as
nearly as could be guessed. In the
evening, however, Madame Pele awak-
ened and reasserted herself. The fiery
flood came up with rush and foun-
tain after fountain of living fire
sprang high in the air. The heat was
intense and the visitors had to stand
well to windward in order to get
view.

Mr.. WOOLLEY
GOING AWAY
A. l.. c. ATKINSON HIS CHOSEN
SUCCESSOR AS sUPERINTEND-
ENT OF THE LEAGUE.

The endorsement of A. L. c. Atkin-
son to succeed John G.. Woolley as the
superintendent of the Anti-Saloon
League took place at a largely attend
ed meeting held in the Y. M. G. A.
building last night. The motion was
made by J. P. Cooke and seconded
by Ed. Towse, who was followed by
DR.. Scudder, Theodore Richards and
John G. Woolley, all of whom made
speeches which were most compli-
mentary to Mr.. Atkinson.
Woolley told of meeting Atkinson,
whose office was near his, and, after
many long talks, converting him to
the principle which he will now rep
resent the League in. He stated that,
in regard to himself, he would leave
for the mainland as soon as the duties
of the office should be taken up by
someone else.
In speaking of the present liquor
law Woolley stated that he believed
that it was fundamentally bad, but
great improvement on the old law and
the liquor interests were already pre-
pairing to fight for it's repeal He
complimented the liquor commission
ers for their work and the Governor
for the class of men whom he had
appointed.
The bringing of the local brewery
under the direct supervision of the
liquor commissioners, was one of the
matters which Woolley called atten-
ton to and he attacked that institu-
ton with great severity. He spoke
of the likelihood that some Congress
sional action to regulate the liquor
traffic here might soon be expected
and touched only on local option as
calculated to bring this about. In
speaking of his attitude toward
blind pigs" he said:
ct have heard some criticisms of
my superintendency, on the ground
that I refrained from taking part in
the prosecution of blind pigs But ]
am not pig-chaser. The blind pig
is merely the runt of the license lit
ter, and where half a hundred sa
looms are as lawful as public schools
even the police are ashamed to run
after the slippery swine that is mar
ket for some paltry pints of wine
This league does not exist to punish
people, but to teach and persuade
them not to establish public incuba
tors of lawlessness. am a lion-hunt
er, and have been stalking the mob

THE TATSU SETTLEMENT.

PEKIN, March 16.-The full terms
under which the case of the Tatsu, the
japanese steamer that was seized by
China in February on the allegation
that she was conveying arms and am
munition to the Chinese revolutionists,
has been settled, are as follows:
1. China agrees to punish the Off
GERS who lowered the Japanese flag on
the Tatsu and to send a warship to the
place where the vessel was seized to
fire a salute as the Japanese flag is
rehoisted.
2. The Tatsu is to be released at
once.
8. China will purchase the arms
and ammunition seized.
4. She will punish the officers who
committed this breach against inter-
national usage.
8. The viceroy of Canton will settle
the amount of demurrage for the re-
tention of the steamer after consulta-
ton with the Japanese consul and,
finally, Japan agrees to exercise extra
vigilance against her subjects in the
matter of smuggling arms into China.

LABOR AND CAPITAL
TO HELP ROOSEVELT
PRESIDENT CALLS LEADERS INTO
CONFERENCE OVER CARRYING
OUT OF POLICIES.

WASHINGTON, March 12-Tired
of what he is declared to regard as a
donothing Congress, President Roose-
welt has summoned into conference
at the White House banker, labor
leader, economist, lawyer and mem
bers of his Cabinet to devise plans to
bring about legislation he recommend
ed in his messages to the Sixtieth
Congress. What the President aims
at particularly is the enactment of
laws that will permit the further car
rying out of his policies.
To bring about this result Presi-
dent Roosevelt has called to his aid
Francis Lynde Stetson, of ]. p. Nor
gan & Co.; Seth Low, representing
the Civic Federation Samuel Comp
ers, president of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, and Victor Nora
wetz, general counsel for the Santa
Fe Railroad. They conferred with
him and Secretary Root and Garfield,
Attorney General Bonaparte and Com
missioner of Corporations Smith We'd
nesday night, and continued their de-
alterations today with the Cabinet
members. The topics particularly UNI
der discussion were:
To amend the Sherman act along
the line frequently recommended by
the President, to permit railroads to
form traffic pools, subject to approval
or disapproval by the Commerce Com
mission.
A bill to repair the damage to the
Erdman act by the recent decision
of the Supreme Court in the Adair
case and to exempt labor organiza-
lions from classification as conspira-
cies in restraint of trade, thus repair
ing the damage done to them by the
Supreme Court decision in the Dan
bury hatter's case.
A bill covering the Federal licens-
ing of Interstate corporations. This
bill will provide for the organization
of industrial combinations ON condi-
tions of their submission to certain
supervision by the commissioner Of
corporations.
Either this bill or another to be
drawn will deal with the matter of
stock and bond issues by interstate
corporations, in an effort to control
overcapitalization
The President is determined to have
his views enacted into law by this
Congress at this session, or at an
extra session to be called just as soon
as this session adjourns. Some of his
closest advisers have urged him to
let it be known that he will keep Con-
gress at work all summer if neces-
sary. He has taken kindly to this
advice.
Mr.. Roosevelt feels that the pre-
sent House was elected on square
promise to the country to put through
such legislation through the wide use
that was made in the last Congress
campaign of the letter he wrote to
Representative Watson, of Indiana, in
which he appealed to the country for
election of a Republican House in
order to continue the programme be-
gun by the Hepburn law.
The conferences have so cleared
the way that drafts of the bills pro-
badly will be ready within a week or
ten days. 1t is likely that the bills
will be introduced in the House by
Representative Hepburn, and in the
Senate by Senator Dolliver, who has
had a hand in preparing them and
was a leading factor in the Admins
tration fight for the rate law.

Mr.. Rockefeller believes that the

A Decoration From Victoria.

The queen, with one of the princesses
and lady in waiting, received me in
q small room. She stood with her back
to the window, wearing a long white
veil which against the light made an
aureole around her. Addressing a few
kind words to me, to which in my en-
barraSsment | made some inaudible al
swer, she proceeded to pin the order
(the Order of the Crown of India) on
my left shoulder. | remember that my
black velvet dress was thickly en-
broidered with Jet so much so that the
pin could find no hold, and unwittinglY
the queen stuck it straight into me.
Although. like the Spartan boy. | tried
to hide what l felt, suppose ! gave ii
start, and the queen, realizing what
she had done, was much concerned
Eventually the pin was put right. aud
I courtesied myself out of the royal
presence. AS l reached the door her mai
eSty suddenly stepped forward, say
ing, with smile, "Oh, you have for
gotten the case" holding it out to me
at the same time This little touch OF
nature relieved an otherwise somewhat
formal ceremony. ReSarkins after
