JUDGE DOLE'S
FLAG RESTORED

Judge s. B. Dole's beautiful silk flag
which was stolen last Sunday night
from the front door Of the Opera
House has been recovered and restor-
ed to its owner. The flag was loaned
by Judge Dole TO those in charge Of
the Floral Parade and was used to
decorate back of the Judges stand
Il was left there all day saturday and
Sunday, and Sunday night. Some time
during sunday night it was torn from
its .halyards and carried away.
The flag was made in London and
was in Judge Dole's possession while
he was President Of the Republic Of
Hawaii. It therefore had much his
toric significance as well as much per-
sonal sentiment attached to it.
The flag was found by one of the
of the marine corps, at the
marine corps encampment beyond the
Immigrant Station, in the locker of
another marine. without delay the
flag was repaired and quietly returned
to the owner, Judge Dole. 1t is not
known what inquiry was made as to
how the flag got where it was found
or whether any strictly military in
quiry was made or not.

WILDER APPOINTED
AS TAX ASSESSOR

Precisely at one o'clock yesterday
afternoon Treasurer A.. j. Campbell
signed the commission of Charles T.
Wilder as Assessor and Collector of
Taxes for the First Taxation Division,
Territory of Hawaii.
BY coincidence the date of February
90, 1908, borne by Wilder's commission
is exactly four years later than the
date of the commission from Treasurer
A. n. Kepoikai to James L. Holt, the
late assessor, which was February 29,
1904. This conjunction of dates, too,
is one that could only happen once in
four years. For the leap year interim
prior to 1904, it could not have hap
pened more than once in eight years
1900 having been eliminated from the
category of leap years for the correc-
ton of the calendar required every
four hundred years.
Mr.. Wilder informed an Advertiser
reporter on Friday that, in the event
of his being appointed, he would make
no changes in the office staff. Good
behavior would ensure his job to every
deputy, clerk and collector.
Mr.. Campbell stated yesterday that
there would be no successor appointed
to the position heretofore held by Mr..
Wilder in the Tax office. Mr.. Wilder
had been in charge of income taxes
and had the work so well advanced
that he would have no difficulty in
completing it for this years assess
ments. There would be such a re-
organization of the staff as would
avoid the necessity of employing any
more permanent assistants. In the
rush of collections temporary assist
ance could easily be employed.

BOY WANTED.

c. J. Sehoening yesterday notified
United States Shipping Commissioner
Amy that he had received a letter
from Ernest Clemens Werninghaus Of
Oak Park, Illinois, stating that the lat
ter s son, Ernest Wilhelm Werninghaus,
a boy, had run away from home and
shipped on the Edward Sewall, which
sailed from Baltimore October 6. The
letter asked Sehoening who is friend
of the family to get the boy on the
arrival of the ship and send him home.
Money and legal authority is sent. It
is represented that the mother Of the
boy was heart-broken.

source. Expenses of the year, $780,
$3.50, were nearly $1,000 more than
those of 1906. the principal cause of
increase being s14,S03 rent of water.
There was a decrease of about $500
in labor account. The 1907 crop was
240223 tons of sugar. A crop of 1850
tons is expected this year.
Honokaa Sugar Co. had a crop of
66256S tons of sugar from 2725 acres.
The yield was 2.49 tons an acre, that
of plant cane being 3.22 tons. This
years crop is estimated at 5000 tons
off 2460 acres. For 1909 there will be
$500 acres and for 1910 a plant and
ration area of 3400 acres. Since water
for fiuming has been obtained an early
start for ratoons is gained, which it is
hoped will mean an increase of three
fourths to one ton of sugar to the acre
of ratoons. Manager Gjerdrum says:
From the time we got water for har-
vesting our cane inS good time, a new
era has commenced for the Honokaa
plantation, every work can be dove
tailed. and the result Cooking at the
condition of the cane and fields today
is very encouraging for a prosperous
future

NURSE RESCUED
FROM SLAVERY
GIRL. Is HELD PRISONER FOR
TWELVE DAYS ON NORTH
CAROLINA PLANTATION.
PLANTER WILL BE PROSECUTED
Victim Lured to State Under False
Pretenses-Led to Believe She
Was to Preside Over
Mansion.

Asbury Park. N. J.-Weakened and
unnerved by the terrible experiences
she had undergone in log cabin in
the wilds of North Carolina, Miss Olga
Sjostedt, a trained nurse, who was
held prisoner IL days on the planta-
tion of 7. E. Pender, has returned to
Asbury Park, accompanied by Thomas
Brodericll, a police officer of this city,
who was sent to her aid by local Of
ficials at the solicitation of the nurse o
friends. whom she had applied for aid.
Miss Sjostedt, according to her
statement, is the fifty-second woman
that has been secured under false pre-
lenses and held prisoner by Pender
with vicious intentions. Her rescue
by Broderick and the North Carolina
officers was effected after the former
had battered down the door of the
shack, which was unfit for human hab-
itation.
Miss Sjostedt had been locked in
her room by Pender, who was absent
from his plantation at the time. The
plantation is ten miles from Halifax,
N. c., and consists of 1900 acres.
Three hundred negroes are employed
on the place. Pender arrived soon
after the officers had rescued the
woman. He stormed at the officers,
but when the latter displayed their re-
volvers he subsidized and permitted the
girl to depart with her rescuers. Be-
fore leaving Pender returned ten dol
lars he had taken from her and gave
her $3.50 for her wages. When the
rescuing party arrived at Halifax and
told their story the citizens were
greatly incensed against the planter.
Il could easily have raised a posse
in Halifax to go out and lynch the

man." Broderick said in telling Of the
rescue, but l was in hurry to re-
turn to Asbury Park, and we left after
the county officials assured me they
would see to it that Pender was pun
ished as he deserves"
Miss Sjostedt said she will prose-
cute the planter to the full extent of
the law. According to the nurses
story she went to North Carolina. be-
lieving she was to preside as house
keeper over an antebellum mansion.
She secured the position by advertis-
ing in a New York newspaper. She
reached the plantation the day before
Thanksgiving. Instead of the pictured
mansion she was ushered into the two
room shack, which formerly was a
liquor saloon and which was filthy
The windows of the rooms were
barred. In searching her room she
found a bundle of rags, beneath which
was the body of a negress. Complain
ing to her employer, he replied:

This was the only promise he full

sojourn.
Pender made improper advances to
the nurse. She repulsed him and
seizing her hatpin drove him from the
room, after which he bolted the door
from the outside. She was locked in
her room every time he left, and she
was most of the time veritable pris-
oner. At night she wrote letters to
her friends in Asbury Park and sue
ceeded in mailing them at the rural
free delivery box when her inhuman
employer was eating or in his room
smoking. Letters from her friends
were intercepted by Pender and de-
stroyed.
Miss Sjostedt was forced to get up
at five O'Clock in the morning. milk the
cow, feed the pigs and chickens, and
clean three horses. Her Thanksgiving
dinner consisted of corn bread and
salt pork cooked in old tomato cans.
She threatened to leave Thanksgiving
day, but Pender insisted she would
have to stay for three months. Night
after night he attempted force his at.
tentions upon her, but each time she

coming to take her away, PendeI
forced her to sign a paper saying she
had not been i'll treated.

DEATH OF J. T. coRNFoRTH.
Noted Colorado Pioneer Drops Dead in
Seattle, Washinaton.

Denver.-A Seattle, Washington dis
patch December eth. announces the
death of Joseph T. Cornforth, pioneer
freisnter of the great plains, explorer
for railroads and promoter of the Alas
ka Short Line, who dropped dead from
heart disease while watching a test
made on new ore crusher.
In 1897 he left Denver and went to
Sea- lie or his way 10 Alaska. In the
interest of Canadian and Pittsburg cap
italists he made the first explorations
for what is now the White Pass & Yu-
kon railway.
Mr.. Cornforth was for many years
one of the best known men in Denver
In both business and political circles
and few men could boast as many
friends.
His death. coming suddenly, cut
shcrt a career of business and rail
road promotion in Alaska that he ex-
pected would make him extremely
wealthy within the next few years. AL
though nearly sixty years DID, he was
hale and hearty. and is said to have
tramped afoot over $4,000 miles on
trips of exploration in Alaska during
the past ten years.
Joseph T. Cornforth was born in
Macclesfield Cheshire, England, July
4, 1899 md came to the United States
in 1855.
Mr.. Cornforth resided in Peru, Ill
inois, for about year. during which
tins he was employ, d in dry goods

brother Birks in business in Atchison,
Kansas. A year later he went into
freighting with an OK team between

time he invented the egg case, now in
common use.
After freighting for about four years
he went to Cheyenne, Wyoming, and
engaged in the grocery business.
In 1870 his store was burned and the
savings of years were lost. He then re-
turned to Kansas City and engaged in
the commission business until 1874. He
again came to Denver in 1874 and en-
gagged in the wholesale fruit business.
With his brother Birks he later started
a new house, one of the largest of Den
yer until 1898, when the panic caused a
suspension.
In the fall of 1897, after having sue
cessfully organized and conducted the
first gold mining congress held In Den
yer he interested a company of men in
building a railroad in Alaska over the
site now occupied Dy tne NHlte FdsS q
Yukon road, but failed to get fran
chise. Canadian interests later built
the road, which cost $6.00O,OOO and
paid the same amount in dividends the
firsI tWo years.
Since that time he has resided in
Seattle and Dawson, Alaska, seldom
returning to Denver. At the time of his
deaih he was president of the Alaska
Short Line railroad, which has begun
the construction of a railroad from
Illiamnia tc AnviR, on the Yukon river.
Mr.. Cornforth first discovered the
use of mica in axle grease. but the
Standard Oil Company got the patent.
Another of his inventions was the poly

that the Wannemachers had returned.
Two men were seen moving about tho
place. Mr.. Wannemacher was notified
and he went to Glenside.
From cellar to garret the home bore
the marks of vandalism. Empty wine
bottles were scattered from the wine
cellar to the garret. In the dining
room dishes were broken and the fur
niture was scratched and cut. Lace
and chenille curtains were torn from
their fastenings; in fact, the men
broke everything that they could not
or cared not to carry OFF.
On the upper floors the men wrought
much havoc. They slept in Mr.. Wan
nemacher's room, used his night
clothes and wore his silk underwear.
They took shotgun and a revolver,
IL dress shirts and quantity of un-
derwear and other clothing when they
departed. Before leaving they visited
the other rooms and wrecked them.
The total value of articles stolen is
less than 5000. but the damage done
exceeds $2.500. The police are of the
opinion that the intruders were tramps
and will make a general roundup in
the hope of catching them.

An Unrefined Language.

Esperanto is gaining ground. 1t has
entirely superseded Volapuk, and has
other victories yet to win. 1t may do
service in the business world, and 1t
lmay serve as a medium of communi-
cation between members OF different
nations who have no other common
tongue. But, remarks the Christian
Register. that it will ever become a
literary language seems to us more
than doubtful. We do not believe that
1T is mere stupid conservatism that
makes us recoil from it as a medium
for transmission of the higher forms
of thought. In Esperanto "bulbo"
means bulb, but 1t may mean an
onion. Such a language does not pre-
serve the nice distinctions which
mark the work of refined thinker
and expert writer
