Barber's Point awoke this morning
to near Lahaina talking to the Matson
steamship Hilonian at sea, seventy
miles out, as it developed later.
A little while and Barber's Point did
some talking on it's own.
The operator, whoever he is, on
Johnson's boat, is a snapper" thought
Barber's Point, for as last as Barber's
sent ethergrams there came back the
HiIomian's "RD-RD-RD" for re
ceived," and it was brisk spark that
did the dainty business.
The Hilonian has had her long
looked-for wireless plant installed in
San Francisco and now she's the queen
of the Frisco Honolulu run in point of
intelligence, for she can shout the It'd
ings of her coming from afar.
And it took, the wireless, all right,
all right, for from Z o'clock this morn
ing right up to the time the Hilonian
was off port passengers aboard were
ethergramming their friends and busi-
ness representatives ashore and those
ashore were shooting back aerial com
munications.
Here is the first official message
sent by the Hilonian to her agents
here:

FEDERAL TERM
VERY BIG ONE
OVER A HUNDRED WITNESSES
ALREADY SUBPOENAED FOR
THE UNITED STATES COURT.

The U. S. Marshal's Office force is
busy serving subpoenas on witnesses
to appear before the special federal
grand jury which is called for next
Monday Up to the present time up
wards of one hundred have been sum
moned.
The special term of the United
States District Court will be a very
important one and a number of cases
Of general interest are to be tried. The
case of John Wynne, the oiler on the
S. S. Rosecrans, who was indicted last
term for the murder of Third Assistant
Engineer McKinnon on the same YES
sci, will be tried, and hard fight will
no doubt be made. Thompson & Gle
mons have been retained by the Sea-
mems Union as attorneys for the de-
fense.
Another of the Mormon Cases" will
come up from last term, in the trial
of Melville M. Harmon, president of
the Mormon church settlement at La
ie, on charge of subornation of per-
jury. 1t will doubtless attract much
attention.
The several charges against Jacob
Rosenberg for receiving stolen junk
from a gang of boy thieves, will result
in a number of indictments; as will
also the case of Koki, the postmaster
at Kamuela charged with stealing a
registered package of several thousand
dollars in gold.

INVESTIGATING
CHANCE OF "STILL''
PINEAPPLE WASTE, PRODUCT
FOR MAKING BRANDY.

R. G. Kellogg is looking into the
possibilities of converting the waste
product of the Wahiawa Consolidated
Pineapple Company into brandy or
spirits by distillation, as was suggest
ed by U. S. Revenue Agent B. NJ.
Thomas, some days ago.
The matter of making some use OF
the tons of parings and waste juices
incidental in the canning of pines, haE
been the subject of consideration for a
long time among the pineapple men,
but heretofore nothing feasible has
presented itself. Vinegar making was
not a success owing to the high odoI
of the fruit which could not be elimin-
ated.
P. G. Rossi of the Italian-Swiss Wine
Company of California, and C. Shil-
ling, of San Francisco, also interested
extensively in the coast wine industry
who have been in the city for several
weeks, have both taken an interest il
the matter and have indicated tha
they would like to have an interest il
the project to make brandy from tht
waste. Mr.. Kellogg stated this morn
ing that the matter will be decided sc
far as his company is concerned with
in few days.

FEW PARTICULARS
ABOUT GROSSINAN
ANOTHER CABLE SAYING THAT
HE WAS SHOT IN DISPUTE WITH
A COOK.

DR.. Grossman received the following
cablegram from San Francisco this
morning:
Jack killed in a dispute with a
cook, funeral Friday"
The cablegrams that have recelv-
ed do not give me as much information
as | would like to nave" said DR..
Grossman. Il cannot understand who
the cook is. 1t may be his own cook
at his private residence, or it may be
a cook for the large gang of men that
are employed at rebuilding by the
Crocker estate.
Il will not leave for the coast un-
til l have word by mail. The tragedy
has been so sudden that l am unable
to think very correctly about it. JACK
was always a very quiet fellow so il
is hard for me to realize that he was
shot down in cold blood. l hope thai
the wheels of justice will move quick
ly in San Francisco, and that the mur
derer will soon be where he belongs.

The Department of Public Works
expects to Immediately proceed with
the repairing and partial reconstruc-
tion of the Waimea, Kauai, wharf at
an expenditure of something like $3,-

freight is to be strengthened, and a
new 2-ton crane installed for handling
light freight, besides which freight
sheds will be built at either end Of the
structure. The Waimea wharf is over
GOO feet long, and the work to be done
on it will greatly facilitate the hand
