THREE THOUSAND
SMELL SOUP BURN

A public alarm threw hundreds OF
sensitive Orientals and others into
panic at l.; so this afternoon and start
ed hacks bearing insurance agents,
reporters and property owenrs to Maui
nakea street and Hotel street Thous-
ands swarmed in the wake of the fire
engines and stools with mouths agape
while the smell of burning soup eman-
ated from the rear of a Chinese shop.
The soup itself must have spilled and
extinguished the blaze. for it was out
before the alarm had finished fright
ening women and children and before
the engines had weii started on their
great run. Business, as usual. was
suspended for many minutes in the
majority of business houses on ac-
count of the furor created by the old
fashioned whistle-alarm. Easily three
thousand people smelled the soup
burn.

COLLEGE OF HAWAII.

Professor Gilmore addressed a large
assembly at lunchtime at the Com
mercial Club today on the College of
Hawaii whereof he is the head. He
spoke of the desirability of beginning
to build to a scheme of construction
that when completed, it might be fifty
years hence, would FORM a harmoni
Gus and symmetrical whole upon
campus Of say, forty acres. The va
lue of the site chosen in Manoa VAL
ley, from its head of water making
a fine plant for instruction in hydrau-
lies, was mentioned. In selecting
equipment for instruction in mechan-
les, the regents and faculty chose
plants of practical utility. Thereby
the college will be able to exchange
it's advantages with large industrial
concerns. More land than that so far
acquired was needed to develop the
agricultural side of the college. Pro-
fessor Gilmore gave a sketch of the
courses of study and the present ana
prospective scope of the institution.

SAILORS
LOSE CASE
A CREW THAT DISOBEYS ORDERS
is JUSTLY DISCHARGED BY THE
CAPTAIN.

An interesting decision was render
ed this morning by Judge Dole in
which the refusal of the crew of yes
sci to obey the orders of the officers
is stated to be sufficient ground for
their discharge. The case is that of
John e. Fehlson ct al. VS.. the Schoon-
er A. j. West. The crew of the
schooner refused to raise the anchor
by means of the captain after the ship
had reached port and also to put the
covers on the sails. When they were
discharged for this refusal they sued,
through Attorney George Davis, for
pay for the time when they had re-
fused to work and also for their pas
sage money back to their home port.
Judge Dole upholds the action of
U. S. Shipping Commissioner Almy in
all details. The syllabus of the deci-
sion says:
Refusal by the crew, without justi-
fication, to obey lawful orders of a
ships officers, is sufficient reason for
their discharge.
All ny a ollAp OAiNNlo = NOAAA
manding the crew to raise the anchor
by means of the capstan in connec-
tion with docking the vessel, when
there was no steam for the donkey en-
glen, is lawful order under shipping
articles whereby the crew have agreed
"to be obedient to the lawful COM
mands of their superior officers in
everything relating to the vessel"
"An order to the crew from the
ships officers, on reaching port. to
put the sail covers on the reefed sails,
is also lawful order under such
shipping articles.
"Seamen refusing duty and thereaf-
ter discharged are not entitled to pay
for the time during which they re-
fuse duty"

BIG COST CLAIM
IS DISALLOWED

An adverse decision has been rem
dered by the Supreme Court on the
claim of defendants in the 100000 suit
of w. ]. Lowrie against H. P. Bald
win and others, for $S3,294.76 costs
of court. For the failure of plaintiff
to file a bond in $4,000 within sixty
days the case was dismissed on defen-
dants' motion with costs to be paid
by plaintiffs. Besides a joint cost bill
for $S4,2O which the trial court al
lowed, the defendants preferred sep
arate claims which included attorneys
fees amounting to the sum above stat
ed. The courts opinion, written by
Chief Justice Hartwell concludes thus:
"The defendants are not entitled to
several costs which the statute does
not appear to contemplate either for
joint plaintiffs or joint defendants. 1t

PLANTERS DISCUSS
TARIFF REVISION

There was a meeting this morning
of the trustees of the Hawaiian Plan
ters' Association. W. o. Smith, sec
retary, stated aftervard that the sole
topic of consideration was the mat
ter of tariff revision. Asked what if
any action was to be taken, Mr.. Smith
had nothing to say. Replying to a
question as to the labor situation he
said:
Things look encouraging from the
work that Mr.. Trenor is doing to OBJ
tain European labor from the main
land"
E. E. Paxton, of the Sugar Factors
Co., in reply to a casual inquiry for
sugar news, expressed some fear that
there would be a slump in the sugar
market He referred to the inform
alton, already published in this paper,
that the cane in Cuba was the best
in thirty-five years with promise Of
yield of 3,5OO,OOO tons Still he ad-
mitted that the increasing consump-
ton, likely to be evident in proper
ton with the revival of good times,
might uphold prices.
The conversation took place before
this afternoons -cablegrams appeared,
telling of probably free Philippine SUI
gar.

price of 71.2 cents per cubic yard. The
naval engineers consider this a very
fair price, for while the inner work
can be done at much lower rate the
chances of completing the outside
work should the weather prove bad,
might sweep all the profit from the
contract.
The bids were opened on December

TENNESSEE'S BIG
FOUR TO DENVER

The press of the state, without eX-
ception, so far as We have noted, COM
mend the attitude of Senator Robert
L. Taylor toward the delegation from
this state to the Denver convention,
says the Chattanooga News. While
in Chattanooga some days ago he an
nounced that he would not be a candi-
date for delegate from the state at
large; that he wanted other Demo-
Gratis to have that honor. He will
attend the convention as a Democratic
senator and friend of Mr.. Bryan. So
far no opposition has developed to
Col l.. q. Tyson of Knoxville as del
egate from this division of the state,
and the indications are that he will
be accorded the place and honor. No
better selection could be made. Col.
Tyson is one of the best Democrats in
the state and is recognized as a man
Of ability by all who know him. West
Tennessee offers the Hon. G. 7. FltZ-
hugh of Memphis as suitable man
to represent that end Of the state, and
the chances are that he will have no
opposition He is also a man of abil-
ity and Democrat in full sympathy
with Nh Bryan.

THE OKLAHOMA AMENDMENTS

Oklahoma is new in statehood but it
is aggressive and progressive. 1t has
begun a campaign for the purpose of
securing amendments to the constitu-
ton of the United States and the
amendments desired are all essential.
This country in several respects, has
outgrown the constitution, which was
framed for it in 1876 and amended at
ter the civel war to meet the condi-
tons brought about by that war, as
they related TO slavery. Oklahoma
wants amendments that will do these
things:
Elect United State senators by di-
rect vote.
LegaliZe an income tax.
Make constitutional an employer S
liability law.
Cease to interrupt the states in reg
ulation of carrying charges within
the state and the prohibition of mers-
ing of competing common carriers.
Leave to every state the right of its
own people to enforce morality and
protection 10 honest labor, without
federal aid being given the enemy of
both.

CLEVELAND'S VICTORY.

The Kansas City Star, anent the
successful campaign for Scent street
car fare which Mayor Tom Johnson

against the street railway companies
of that city, says: THE victory
achieved by the city of Cleveland is
the result of lis protracted contention
against the street railway corpora
tons using its thoroughfares, becomes
admirably its rank as the first munic-
ipality in Ohio. It will accelerate the
impetus which has carried the lake
city we'll ahead of its former rival,
Cincinnati. The advantages which
Cleveland has enjoyed by virtue of the
cheap water transportation afforded it
by it's location on chain of great
lakes will now be reinforced by the
tremendous factor of adequate local
transit al reasonable cost This ia
vorable settlement Of the street car
question will act as a perpetual in
.entive to the influx of labor and to an
expanding population. It has dis
charged a debt to its people that rests
upon every municipality that desires
to live up TO its best possibilities.

CREMATED COAT
WITH HIS BODY
Used the Garment Twelve Years AGO
in an EndeayOr to Protect Wife aud
Children From Exposure in Il
Tragic Shipwreck.

New York, May 5.-FolloWing u re-
quest he had frequently expressed,
the body of Juan de Dios Tejada, East

an overcoat he had used twelve years
ago, in an endeavor to shield his wife
and four children from exposure when
they were shipwrecked The ashes of
the body and the coat will be con-
signed to the sea.
| Mr.. Tejada died at his residence in
East Orange, and after the funeral
services We're held, the body and over
coat were taken to the crematOry and
incinerated.
Frequently Mr. Tejada had declared
that he, valued the overcoat more than
his life and that he wanted it ere
mated with him.
He and his family We're sailing from
New York for San Domingo when the
! ship was wrecked when two days out.
/ Mr.. and Mrs. Tejada and their four
children and the captain and several
of the crew embarked in one life
| boat They embarked so hurriedly
from the sinking ship that they took
only some biscuits with them for pro-
visions. They suffered severely from
J cold, exposure and thirst, and one by
one the children died and their bodies
wer ecOnsigned to the sea. The crew
also persisted and finally only Mr..
and Mrs. Tejada and the captain were
left on the seventh day. Wrapped in
the overcoat. Mrs Tejada died, too
and her body was also cast overheard
The next day a sailing vessel picked
up the two survivors in terribly en-
| feebled condition.

from which he had suffered for several
years. Mr.. Teiada was born in Cuba

PRICES BETTER
SALES HEAVY
General Tone of the Cotton Market Is
Looking Up-Unfay Orable Weather
and Good Demand for Spots Aids
Materially in Sending Prices Up.

New Orleans, May 5.-Liverpool is
steady on futures. Spot prices are
) higher, sales large at 10000.
The announcement in the morning
papers of Inman & Co., Augusta, Ga,
one of the leading spot houses in the
South, going into the hands of re-
ceiver, revamped bearish courage and
caused some uneasiness in our market
early in the session. Unfavorable
weather over night in large portion
of the belt, however, prevented ag
panied by heavy rains passed over
the northern territory. Owing to wire
Interruptions official records are in
complete, but private reports speak of
damage by rains in North Louisiana,
Mississippi and Arkansas. Indications
point to generally fair in the West,
more rain in the Central and Eastern
States.
Steady demand for spots, prices
firm, no improvements in the lay out.
The weekly weather report publish
ed at II O'Clock says temperatures
were 4 to s degrees below normal,
frosts occurred generally in the mid
die and northern belt but did little
material damage in Oklahoma. Rain
fall was mostly below normal. Sun
shine was abundant On the whole
the report was better than expected
and futures eased after it's publica-
ton. At this hour the contract mar
ket is quiet with trading around yes
