DISPOSITIONS IN LEE LET
CASE CANNOT BE FOUND
Two important Ones Missing From the Files of
the Attorney Generals Office---Were
Made to Miverton.

Things seem to have been carefully
prepared to make it easy for Lee Let
to get out. He was indicted, as our
readers will remember. for the at
tempted bribery of Chief Taylor on
behalf OF Chinese gamblers. County
Attorney Cathcart let the case drag
along like the Duvauchelle ease-whieh
he surreptitiously nol-prossed - but
publicity in these columns made him
abandon IT and turn the whole business
over to the Attorney General Now i
is in Deputy Larnach's hands and on
the calendar for trial.
The man who stole the depositions
ought to have been able TO pick up a
tidy sum from the Chinese gamblers,
who have shown themselves willing %
pay high for favors of any kind.

Who would ever think that q stray
wanderer, such as I. would ever be the
recipient of such wonderful acts of love
and kindness. I sincerely hope have
deserved them.
Thank God for His mercy and love.
In regards to the deed which has
placed me in this position, let me as

tated, nor was ii done in the heat OF
passion, but forced on me. and be-
lieving from his actions that my life.
as well as that of my wife was in
danger, / took no chances. 1t was
solely self defense.
John Cook had threatened my life
both before and after my marriage.

LEES
NEW HOTEL

Plans for Peter Lees projected hotel
near the volcano of Kilauea have been
received by Harry Armitage. They
show a handsome front view with sec
ond story windows set in style to give
an appearance of three gables.
There are eight bedrooms on the
ground floor and twelve on the upper
floor. Separate sitting rooms for la
dies and gentlemen are provided and
there is a large common reception room
with Office in one corner. A veranda
extends along the front of the main
building and turns at either end to
separate two cottages from that build
ing, which on the one hand are for the
culinary department and on the other
for billiard rooms, two card rooms and
the bar. Thus any noise of convivality
from the recreation apartments will be
shut off from the main hotel rooms.
A feature of the hotel will be fireplaces
constructed of lava slabs.
There is a large crescent shaped
ground laid off in front around which
driveway sweeps, two segments of
which will be lawn and two contain
baths from natural warm springs. The
government road passes the front and
by means of a private road about 20
feet long the new road into the crater,
which passes along the rim of the pref
ty extinct crater of Kilauea-ih, is
reached from the hotel. This is at a
point two miles nearer Haleamumau
than the Volcano House, although the
lake of fire is not visible from the Lee
carivansary.
A long line curves around tie rear Of
the premises, along which auxiliary
cottages are to be built as the patron
age of the hotel may require.

Where we fell down was that we

projects. If we had We would have
the money here now ready for another
job as soon as the first was complet-

Secretary might decide, when some

WADE HABEAS
CORPUS CASE

The George Wade habeas corpus case
came up for argument before Judge
Dole this morning and had not been
completed up to noon. 1t will prob
ably be some time before a decision
will be reached by the Judge, as the
technical legal points which have been
brought up by the two opposing law
yers, Attorney Biting and Deputy At
torney General Larnach will prob
ably require a good deal of considera-
ton.
The case is one in which no judg-
ment was filed against Wade after he
had been tried for murder which took
place on board the steamer Australia
and convicted. Biting claims that on
this account Wade is being wrongfully
kept in Jail. The case has therefore
reverted to the customs of the courts
in the time when the trial took place.
Clerk of the Supreme Court Henry
Smith was the principal witness this
morning and being hard of hearing it
was difficult to obtain is testimony. The
attorneys would write out their ques-
tions and hand them to w. T. Rawlins,
selected as having the strongest voice
in the Judiciary building. Rawlins
would read them loud enough to be
heard across the street in the Executive
building and part of the time they
would be understood.

gon for the Puuhene Store at Kahului,
addressed a few Hawaiians and told
them to vote for the Hawaiians and
not for a haoie. He said he never
knew haole to help a poor man. He
semer to have forgotten that ne was
nominated by haole, his nomination
seconded by a naoie and that he is
now earning his bread from haole
business house.
This speech will probably be re-
membered by good many for a long
time to come.
There were but two sets of print
ed sample ballots and each was the
same except as to H. M. Coke and X.
A. Wadsworth being on one slate and
both left off by Hart, and twelve Ha>
waiians and part Hawaiians being on
his ballot Both white men were cleo
ted and a study of the voters lists
shows that both of them re-
ceived more Hawaiian votes than Ell
Their of them did of votes of the white
men.
1T is to be hoped that this will put
an end to the drawing of the color line
as it is plain that the Hawaiians Will

TWO BIG LAST
PRODUCTIONS

"Why Smith Left Home" will be
given at the Orpheum Monday night,
with many specialties between the
acts, as a benefit for Richard Butler,
who has won fine repute here for his
excellent work in many characters.
The play is a brilliant comedy and the
evenings entertainment will be very
good one.
On the following night, as a fare
well performance, Zaza, will be given,
as a benefit for the Lumley company.
Zaza is the biggest hit the company
has made here. The acting of Miss
Thornton in this play is worth see
ing more than once, and any who have
not seen the production have missed
some of the best work ever done on a
local stage
Camille" which will be produced
at the Orpheum tonight for the last
time, was given last night in a man
ner that makes it a great credit to
the company. Miss Virginia Thorn
ton is, once more, remarkable act
ress in the role of Camille, repeating
the success which stirred the town in
Zaza The power OF her acting makes
the production an event and, as was
said of Zaza, it shows that she is an
actress possessing talents that should
carry her far to the lead in her pro-
fession.

has no opponent in sight yet. He is
being a good deal knocked and doesn't
appear to have the Republican strength
very fully behind him. 1t is said that
Wise would like to have Kaleiopu, who
was in the last house, as his deputy,
but that Kaleiopu wants to be in the
legislature again. Leal would like to
run for deputy. The Democrats are
going to make hot run with Jarrett,
and Wise will have fight on whoever
he has for running mate.

In ghetlo county convention, the
three cornered fight for nomination
for mayor does not seem to be very
vigorously prosecuted. Since it be-
came known that Kuhio was support
ing Lane, more of Lanes supporters
have come out openly, and big strug-
gle is on to land delegates over to his
side. Yet neither of the other two
candidates appear in the least dis
couraged. LAS far as | can judge from
what my friends and supporters tell
me, the situation is all right" said
Hustace.
"Hustace will be nominated Oh the
first ballot" says Charley Clark, who
appears to have cut loose from some
of his former political partners, for he
declares himself first, last and all the
time for Hustace, whole some of his
old associates are Lane men.
Jack Lucas looks cheerful and wise
and insists that he can win all right
Not many political prophets would en-
dorse the idea that there will be
decision on the first ballot, and some
of the Lane campaigners expect thai
he will get the votes from both the
other two after the first ballot.

like a deadlock is shown. 1t will b,
