SAILORS OBJECT
To PROFANITY
Allege Swearing and Libel the
Schooner A. ]. West
for Wages.

Strange oaths, in fiction at least, are
ships company, but there are men in
Honolulu, sailors, too, who dislike the
use of profanity, and they make al
legations, duly drawn up in legal form,
and intimate that the use of such al
legged sayings on the part of the mas
ter of the schooner A. J. West con-
stitutes cruelty, just as harsh word
constitutes cruelty, in a legal sense, in
the divorce world.
These mariners fnsinuate, even de-
clare solemnly, that Captain Yarneberg
told them to ''get to [word omitted
off this vessel"
To a certain extent the aforesaid
sailors complied. That is, they got off
the vessel, though they omitted to go
missing word
The actors in this seriocomedy or
humerotragedy are a little unusual, as
far as the local directory goes, in the
language of their names.
The captain is Yarneberg and the
compliments are Christian Christian
sen, John Fehleson, Victor Matson,
Oscar Wrinkle and Emile Piedvache.
They arrived in the A. J. West as sea-
men on Sunday from Grays Harbor.
They yesterday, in the United States
District Court, filed libel against the
schooner for S45.45 each, alleged to be
due for back wages, and $75 apiece for
passage back to Grays Harbor, and
500 each for subsistence until they
can get home. The sailors complain
that they were sent off the ship with
out ceremony.
BATH LIQUIDATION.
Suit in assumpsit was yesterday filed
in the Circuit Court for $S607, as for
NAL notification of the liquidation of
the enterprise known as the Hotel
Baths, the stockholders agreeing to
confess judgment. Claims have all
been assigned to R. w. Single. 1t is
said that the venture has not paid
since the first two months of its ex-
istence.

Nakamoto, Japanese. pleaded guilty
in Judge Robinson's court yesterday
an was sentenced to serve two months
and to pay costs for larceny in the
second degree. The prosecution asked
for light sentence. There was some
doubt, it seems, as to the intention of
the man to steal what he took, about
SO worth of articles being taken from
the house of Charles Littlejohn in
which he was living at the time.
