kauai DOOKKEEPER
Up FOR EMBEzlEMENT

Ed. McCorriston, assistant book
keeper and cashier of the Makee Sugar
Co., was arrested last Wednesday on
a charge of embezzlement of 5000 dur
ing the month of June.
AS the case has not come before the
court yet nothing definite as to the
particulars of the case is so far az
hand. There has, however, been a
great deal of discussion of the matter
and curiosity is expressed as to the
outcome of the case. It appears that
no less than three men in the employ
of the company are handling the cash
and that every one of them has ae-
cess to the books. The latter have been
falsifed as shown by erased footings,
the perpetrator having raised the foot
ing by just SO much cash as he alb
stracted at the time, being careful to
boost the debt side in a similar manner
so as to have the balance come out
correctly. 1t is claimed that this get
rich-quick system has been practised in
Kealia for sixteen months and that
the lack of an auditor alone can ex
plain the fact such an open defalcation
has escaped detection long ago.
There seems to be a good chance for
an interesting trial and lawyers on
both sides are busy digging up the
facts in the case as far as these are

terday and was given an enthusiastic
welcome by the islanders There is no
wonder that the Hawaiians are aroused
to such a pitch of patriotism over the
advent of the war. vessels. Although
they have been member of the Ameri-
can family for ten years, they have re-
ceived practically no consideration at
the hands of Congress as such. Stu
ated midway in the Pacific, in the line
of trade, in a position of the utmost
Importance from the strategist's point
of view, Hawaii should long ago have
been developed as naval base and the
center of Pacific operations. So little
has been, in fact, expended there in the
development of the harbor and the cree
ton of the necessary works for the
evolution of a modern naval station
that the Hawaiians have reason to
think Congress does not fully appre-
ciate the advantages offered by the
possession of the archipelago
Numerous commissions have visited
Hawaii since the annexation and have
reported favorably to- the execution of
various projects of Improvement. But
nothing has been undertakes of i'm
portance, and today if war should
occur between this country and for
eign power with Pacific possessions it
would be necessary to begin construc-
lions in Hawaii almost from the begin
ming to enable this country to- use its

of the Hawaiian people to risk punish
ment for violating the laws of neutral
itv in 1898, the United States would
have been unable, save by coercive
methods, to utilize this virtually neees-
sary port of call on the way to the
Philippines. There is no calculation of
the advantage to the United States in
having access to the harbor of Homo
lulu during the months between the
outbreak of war and the formal annex
alton of the islands. The long voyage
to and from Manila was broken, amd
at Honolulu was found a resting place
for the sick and wounded from the
Philippines. Yet SO lightly was this IN
calculable boon regarded by Congress
that only the most meager allowances
were made for the improvement of Ha-
wall and the establishment of the nee
essary naval equipment.
Tt would have been perhaps econo4ni-
cal if the battleships in their transit
from San Francisco to Honolulu had
been seriously injured by storm, ne
eessitating heavy repairs at the Hawai-
ian port. Then possibly the United
States would have awakened to a full
understanding of its duty in the prem
Uses. AS it is, the hope remains that
this call of the fleet at Honolulu will
sufficiently bring the subject into pub
lie notice to insure legislation next
winter looking to the tardy commence
ment of the works which common pru-
dence requires to be contaminated in
Hawaii.

MONUMENT TO
 TEXAS HERO

Houston, Tex, Jan. 9.--Today is the forty-fifth anniversary of the death of Colonel T. s. Lubbock, the Texas hero in whose honor a monument has re- gently been erected with money left for that purpose by the late Governor Frank R. Lubbock, a brother of the fla nous Texas warrior.
 Colonel Lubbock was one of the men who' followed old Ben Milan into San Antonio" serving under Milan at the Alamo in 1885. He was one of the most daring spirits among that famous band of pioneers who eventually tri- umphed over Mexico and won the re- public of Texas from Latin-American domination. When the civil war broke out he became the leader of the noted band of soldiers known as Terry's Texas Rangers, and served in that ca pacity until his death, which took place on January g, 1869.

to the producer. Take the years when We have had the most specu- lation viz: 1903 Sulley year and
 l905-O6 the farmers got the highest prices for their cotton in years, while the restriction speculation this year, with a crop really smaller compared to the consumption than in either of the years mentioned, the price has been much lower notwith. standing the price of cotton goods is very much higher than in either of those years. I believe if the South had the opportunity to spec uate in cotton goods this year as in the years mentioned the crop would have sold at from twelve and a half to fifteen cents as compared to q lit
 tie over ten cents. It has taken years to build up this system and under il the South was most pros porous in it's history, then why should We try any such radical measures as is proposed by the Bur lcson bill While it IS meant to help the producer 1 think that after a careful study of the conditions now and the probable effect of it's passage you will agree with me. will pc very glad to have planters, merchant cotton factors cotton buyers, bankers and any one having personal knowledge of the cotton business te me their opinion on the possible effect of this bill If it becomes a law. also any suggestions they may have as to the best way to regulate the exchanges so that the small speculator will have as fair chance as possible.

oyer the receivership to Judge Stephenson. For this reason he Was asked by Judge Stephenson to come to Little Rock with him in order that they might together discuss the matter with Judge Trieber. It is un- dcrstood that Judge Trieber did not have the right 10 appoint a receiver when the matter was still in the hands of the Chancery Court at Pine Blut1
 The result of the conference was not made known, and probably will not be. Judge Trieber said last night when asked in regard to the conferences:
 There is nothing to be given out in regard to the conference I had with Judge Stephenson and Chan ccl!or Elliott. It was not a regular court proceeding. I have nothing whatever to say in regard to it. The only matter made public concerning Judge Stephenson's visit here is his report to me as receiver"
 Judge Stephenson"s Report.
 The report of Judge Stephenson, which follows, would make it seem that Chancellor Elliott has refused to turn over the charge of the com pany to Judge Stephenson, but has agreed to take the matter under advisement until January IS. Evi- dently the minor court official is taking his time obeying the order of the federal court. The report of Judge Stephenson to Judge Triebcr follows:
 The undersigned, heretofore ap- pointed by this court as receiver of the estate in the above entitled case. would respectfully report that, in conformity with the direction of this court. on the Sth instant, he pre- scnted to the Hon. John M. Elliott, chancellor of the Jefferson Chan csry Court, a petition for an order as in the order of this court set forth, together with :, duly certified copy of the order of this court, which said petition was by the hon. orable chancellor duly received and by him taken under advisement by the said chancellor, that his action will be taken not later than the 18th instant, and as soon as his order is made thereon further report will be filed by me-

 MAKES STATEMENT President of the National Ginners Association Tells of the Burleson Bill and It's Effects.
HE ARGUES THE POINT
Declares That Without Exchanges the Cotton Growers oi This Country Would Be at the Mercy of the Liver. pool Cotton Buyers,

New Orleans, La, Jan e. tSpe- claE )-Pres!dent ]. 4. Taylor of the National Ginners association. today issued the following interesting statement relative to the present cotton market conditions and pend ing legislation that affects cotton producers:
 To the Ginners and Planters of the South: To those who have the real interest of the cotton grower at heart as we'll as to the grower him self I would earnestly suggest a careful consideration of the possi- ble effects of the passage of the Burleson bill now pending before Congress. I have had twenty years experience as a ginner, grower and buyer of cotton and during my three years as president of the National Ginners Association, 1 have had great opportunities to study the pres ent methods and the possible effects of the passing of the Burleson bill. feel sure that if the bill becomes a law 1t will cost the Southern farm CTS a million dollars before 1t could be repealed. Some years ago in Germany there was raised this same agitation by the growers of grain against speculation and all the ex- changes were closed by law The result was so costly and unsatisfac- tory to the producers of grain and itself asked the exchanges to reor- ganize. This is the only instance of it's being tried but he result was so different from what was expected I think We should profit by their experiences The loss would be much greater with us as we grow so much more than We can use at home.
 Under the present conditions the producers market from 75,000 to 100000 bales of cotton per day dur ing September, October and Noyem- Der, while the combined capacity of all the spindlecs in the world that use American cotton is about 40,- 900 bales per day. The difference has to be carried by some one and they speculate to that amount as there is always a chance for an ad- vance or decline in the price of cot ton. At present a part of this is carried by the spinners, a part by the farmers and merchants in actual cotton but the largest part is car ried oy cotton merchants and cotton buyers. Nearly all this cotton is hedged or sold against the future markets of this country and Europe. Who carries the other end of these contracts? At present speculatros carry nearly all of it. These specu-

Rutherford are valued at about $s,OOO,000. Each will own fifty per cent of the stock in the big concern.
 The papers were signed this after. noon. This deal will be consummat. en in q few days, upon the return oi MT. Duncan from New Orleans, where he goes tonight on important business. The option secured by MT. Duncan to. day includes the following:
 ! All Of the Blufi City Lumber Com pany's properties, real estate and oth.

 IWullc IL lS SC11CldllS NN O4A the streets of Pine Bluff today that the Rutherford and York interests in the mammoth Bluff City Lumber Con- pany's holdings have reached satis- factory agreement, whereby all of the differences that have existed between them for many months were amicably adjusted, no official announcement has been made to that effect.
 There seems to be no doubt, how ever, as to the correctness of the ru- nor along that line. In fact Captain York and MT. Rutherford have quietly remarked to friends that, with the fixing up of few details" the deal will be consummated.
 According to statement which was overheard by Graphic representative this morning and which is given gen. eral credence, D. H.
