Table In Shipwreck

Lying in fifty feet of water in
New York harbor, the beautiful koa
dining table which was sent from
the islands as testimonial and ex-
preston of the good feeling here to
Gorham d. Gilman, will probably
be ruined entirely before it can be
extricated from the wreck of the
ship on which it Was taken from
here.
The following extract from a let
ter from Mr.. Gilman is explana-
tory:
"lt is particularly pleasure to
have this testimonial prominently
before me, as | am most unfortun-
ately deprived of the use of and the
delightful associations connected
" ith the table itself. ! had hoped
that | might have gathered my fa-
mily arouue it on Thanksgiving
Day to drink health and happiness
to those who had so generously
sent us such "a token of rememb-
rance.
"But instead of that, the table,
which had come safely the long
distance from its Island source,
now lies in fifty feet of water in
New York harbor. In attempting
to avoid a collision the captain of
the steamer which was bringing
the table to Boston, ran his ship
upon a rock and she was sunk with
her valuable cargo, my table a.
mong the rest. Efforts are being
made to raise the vessel and save
her cargo. / hope in due time to
recover the table, even though in
a damaged state, and by placing
it in the hands of fully compe-
tent workman to have it re-
stored to its original beauty and
usefulness, so that | may yet have
the pleasure of assembling round it
family and friends who may join
with me in drinking to each and
all of you in the one little word
which means so much-Aloha." "

One Killed
In Affray
Porto Ricans Indulge In
Deadly ARRAY.

One dead, one in the hospital
with an injured head and II third in
Jail is the result of an affray at Ha-
makuapoko last Sunday.
A large number of Porto Ricans
were drinking too freely and row
started.
The statement of Antoine Torres
is to the effect that he was attacked
by Ramon Morales and Domingo
Perry. As both of these men were
armed with knives he ran from
them until he was cornered. He
got guava stick and as they attack
ed him he struck them over the
heads and knocked them both out.
The injuries to Ramon Morales
were fatal and he died Monday
morning.
Sheriff Saffery believes that Do
mingo was the real cause of the
trouble although the injuries he re-
ceived were less severe than those of
his companion. He will recover.
Deputy Sheriff Morton is making
an investigation and a coroners jury
is trying to get at the facts in the
case.
The Porto Ricans are evading the
giving Of evidence as much as pos
sible and the authorities are meet
ing with much difficulty in getting
at the facts,
The police claim that a japanese
at Hamakuapoko is almost openly
selling liquor without a license and
it is he who is really responsible for
much of the trouble there,

trees than the young trees, upon
which our work is done, and there
is also less danger of injuring the
trees. We have found that good
flow of latex can be obtained from
tapping done from daylight until
eight A. NJ, or even later.
From the experiments which we
have thus far conducted it appears
that one man can tap about fifty
trees per hour, while another man
can collect the lateX from the trees
which would be tapped in the same
time by two men, Since it appears
from results which we have obtain
ed from tapping mature Ceara rubber
trees, that about one-third ounce of
dry rubber may be expected as "A
daily yield it is evident that three
men should be able to obtain rubber
from mature trees at the rate of
about one pound per hour The
data upon which this conclusion is
based have been carefully consider
ed and the estimate is probably not
above what may be expected. At
any rate, the results obtained in
our experiments indicate clearly
that the Ceara rubber tree in Hawaii
will not only grow and thrive, but
will yield profitable returns.
Further experiments will be
carried on in the microscopic eX-
animation of sections of the Ceara
rubber tree to get a bases for deter
mining the best method of tapping
Several other species Of rubber trees
will also be tapped and an elaborate
series of fertilizer experiments with
rubber is planned, We hope to be
able to devise a method of fertiliz-
ing rubber trees SO as to secure an
increased flow of lateX during the
tapping periods.

age. In the first series of so trees,
which were tapped by means of one
vertical cut each day, it required
thirty-six hours and forty minutes
of labor to tap the trees, collect the
latex, and secure ~ pounds of dry
rubber. In the seconds series of
experiments on 100 trees, which
were tapped with two vertical cuts
instead of one, it required only 40
hours of labor to tap the trees,
collect the latex and obtain five
pounds of first class rubber and
about a pound of scrap rubber. In
this experiment in which two verti-
cal cuts were used daily, profitable
returns were obtained.
1t was found that an ordinary
laborer could tap rubber trees, by
means of two long, vertical cuts, at
the rate of about so trees an hour
and could collect latex at the rate
of 100 trees an hour. The available
labor on plantations appears to be
reasonably effective in doing this
work, and the amount of training
required in order to do the cuts
effectively and quickly is rot ex-
cessive.
1t requires less time to tap Older
