OUR DEMOCRATS
On BIC ISLAND
John EmmeIuth and the Miss
ing Link Talk
Politics.

Hilo Herald.-The Democratic leaders
from Honolulu visited Hilo and the
Volcano with the excursion of Eiks,
on Saturday and Sunday, in the person
of Chairman Ed. Ingham and Secretary
John Emmeluth, of the Democratic Ter
ritorial Committee; Senator Charles j.
Mccarthy. and former Senator L. L.
McCandless who will probably be the
leader on the Democratic ticket as the
party's candidate for Delegate to Con-
gress.
Before leaving Honolulu, the advis-
ability of holding little rally here had
been discussed but it was felt that the
Hilo people might think the party was
butting into the Fourth of July cele
-bration, so the four statesmen visited
the races and the Volcano. They all
returned very strongly impressed with
the fact that Madame Pele s fire would
be a magnificent place for wigwam
politics.
"There,' said Secretary John EN-
meluth, ssthe braves could sit by night
and hold counsel. Then, in the day.
time, they could take to the Mahogany
Lumber Company IS woods, squatting on
the green sward with nothing to dis
turb them but the rustling of the koa
trees, abundance of material at hand
for the making of planks and plat
forms; free air for inspiration, freedom
from office seekers and reporters; at
night the fires of Pele on which to let
the days ideas and thoughts simmer
into such a compact form as could be
served up warm to the voters, and to
the party's best advantage. ;"
"It is a change in the land laws
that is most needed in Hawaii - said
Senator McCandless, fsuch a change
as will put the public land into the
hands of the individual American citi.
zen forever, eliminating the dummy.
What we propose is that all public
lands conveyed either by way of lease
or freehold shall be subject to the con-
dition running with the land, that it
shall be titled only by citizens or those
who have declared their intention of
becoming citizens. This will not in the
slightest impair the usefulness of the
land. Tt will simply eliminate it's spec
uiative value. There will be no temp
tation then for the homesteader as soon
as he has acquired title to ALLEVIATE
it for consolidation into large estates,
to be titled by cheap labor to use
the language of President Roosevelt.
ssThere will be no temptation to the
owner of large estates to secure it,
through a dummy, because he cannot
till it by cheap labor. Or if the dunn
my is resorted to, or the homesteader
sells out, the lands must still inure to
the benefit of American citizens be.
cause it can be titled by no other. BY
this means all the remaining public
lands will be dedicated forever to
American labor, and cannot be used for
The exploitation of cheap alien labor.
"To this Territory it would mean the
here and very quickly of
4 large American community of men
who themselves till the farms they
own. It would be the means of ac-
what Judge Dole has on
more than one occasion said must be
or that European civiliza-
ton would be lost to these Islands,
namely, the anchoring here of Amer
can families occupying and tilling the
soil. -

MUNDON AND
HIS BIC SUIT
How He Figures a Fortune
Out of His Lumber
Claim.

Hilo Tribune.-Geo Mundon has filed
suit in the Fourth Circuit Court against
the Hawaiian Mahogany Lumber Co.,
claiming $110,250 as damages for al
| legged breach of contract by the Lum-
Der Co. In his complaint Mundon sets
out that he left his home on the Island
of Kauai and transported his family,
servants. horses, mules, tools, etc, to
Puma in order to comply with the
terms of a contract said to be entered
into with the Lumber Co. on or about
August, 1907; he claims $4,000 for ex-
renses in transporting his family and
paraphernalia, $3.50 per month for nine
months waiting for the company to get
ready on its contract; $4,000 for neg
lected opportunities for contract work,
and 100000 for profits anticipated on
the contract with the Lumber Co. Mum
don claims that the Mahogany Co.
agreed to furnish him with machinery,
tools, railroads, etc, and that he was
to manufacture 6xSxS ties and place
them on the Hilo Railroad Co. cars at
Pahoa, Puma, for 27c each. The Lum-
Der Co. claims no knowledge of any
contract whatever with Mundon, and
has nothing on it's files showing that
the company was under any obligations
to Mundon. and therefore when The
time arrived for the pulling down of
the ohia trees to be made into railroad
ties to supply the Santa Fe Railroad
Co., it entered into a contract with
Ariole Bros, who had considerable ex
perience in this work in the Olaa dis
sumed to be well qualified for such an
undertaking. Carl S. Smith is attorney
for plaintiff. The complaint was serv
ed upon the president of the company
at Honolulu.

kremer Case
Now on Trial

In the justice court this afternoon
the case of the state against John
Kremer, charked with keeping his sa :
loon open on Sunday, is being heard
The case was opened at 2:45 and at
$3.50 was still before the jury of four
men which is 20 determine the facts
of the case.
Patrolman Doyle was the first w.t.
ness called and testified to having ar
rested Dan McPhee, who is the man
who is said to have bought the liquo-.
He identified the bottle of liquor which
was aiken from McPhee.
McPhee was called next and told how
he entered the saloon by the back door,
bought the liquor and was then ar
rested. The offense is said to have
been committed July 10. He was a
trifle diffident on the stand and his
answers came rather confusedly ann
indistinctly
The defense is fighting the case,
cross examining the witnesses as to
every detail The case will probably
go to the jury about 4 o'clock.

Der carrying railroads of the Pacific
coast which were ordered by the in
terstate commerce commission to re-
duce their rates on lumber and its pro-
ducts, effective today, have been grant
ed an extension of time until October
IS. 1t was shown by the carriers in
volved that it would be impossible to
check up rates and file new tariffs in
time to become effective today.
Assurance was given the commits

extension were granted they would
not apply for an injunction to restrain
the commissions order from becoming
effective However, the carriers ex-
presly retain the right to test the rea-
sonableness Of the rates ordered by
the commission in suit to be brought
for that purpose, or in suits which may

under the advanced rates.
This does not include the case in
volving rates from the Willamette val
ley to San Francisco in which the

Mrs Hallam was dragged from her

and assaulted. She was badly bruised
and was unconscious for sometime.
When Richardson was arrested she
identified him as being the negro who
attacked her Feeling grew so intense
against the negro that Sheriff Warner
late yesterday secretly took Richardson
and Joseph James (the Latter in Jail
charged with the murder of c. A. Bal
Iard's daughter) to Bloomington for
house where James had gone evidently
with the intention of assaulting Bal
Iard's daughter, to Bloomington for
