RULING DIsTURBs HAWAII
Fear Removal Of Ocean Vessels VIII
Prove Injurious.

HONOLULU, T. H., Aug. 2S.--It is
currently reported here that the Su-
gar Factors company of the territory
has decided to have built 90O0-ton
passenger and freight steamer to put
on the run between Honolulu and the
coast. and expects to have the yes
sci ready for commission within two
years. The fact that sugar carrying
contracts are soon to expire adds
color to the report.
Hawaii has always been handicap
ped by lack OF passenger accommo-
dations to the mainland, and espec-
tally so since the annexation, which
brought into operation the American
coastwise shipping law by which none
but vessels OF American register may
carry passengers and freight between
the United States and island ports.
Although the sugar men of the terri
tory have furnished an enormous
volume OF freight for many years
they have heretofore not entered
directly into the transportation busi-
ness to any extent, but their pro-
jeot is a most welcome one to Hawai-
ians generally.
The possibility OF the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company's removing its
vessels from the Oriental trade In
case the ruling of the Interstate
Commerce Commission compelling
the publication OF railroad freight
rates on export merchandise is EN-.
forced, Is very disturbing one
here. since such an action would
leave the islands practically without
means of travel.

LONG MAN HUNT ENDED.
Arrest of Man Charged With Embez-
Element at San Francisco.

San Francisco, Nov. PA man hunt ex-
tending half way around the world and
part way back, and which was conducted
by Geographic and cable dispatches, came
to an end today when a Pinkerton man
and two local detectives boarded the Pa
cific mail liner Mongolia upon the steam
er's arrival from the ORIENT and arrested
L. E Knollys, whose description is said
to tally with that of L. E. Hancock want
ed by the authorities of Salem Winston.
n. c., on a charge of embeZZlement
The detectives stated that Hancock is
charged with enbeZZling a sum of money
while in the employ of the Lamb Fish
Lumber company and he was traced to
San Francisco. He sailed from here on
the steamer Siberia several weeks ago
and orders for his arrest were cabled to
Nagasaki. When the Siberia arrived there
1t was learned, according to the detectives,
that Hancock had left the vessel at Hon
Olulu. The police of that city were com
municated with and cabled in reply that
man answering Hancocks description had
sailed for San Francisco on the Mongolia
KnOllys denies that he is Hancock and
says he is member of the brokerage firm
OF CORTLAND. Babcock & Co. of A Pine
street. New York. He was taken to the
city prison pending the arrival of an Of
ficer from North Carolina.

LIVES |MPER|LED
IN COLLISION
Five Hundred Persons in Dan
ger of Death as Result OF
Accident at Sea.

New York. Nov. z2-The lives of more
than 800 persons were imperiled today
when TIE fruit steamer Admiral Dewey,
inward bound from Jamaica. crashed into
the steamer Mount Desert. outward bound
from Bay Ridge for the fishing banks.
The Admiral Dewey. coming suddenly out
of a fog bank, struck the Mount Desert
almost amidships. opening a cash IN the
fishing vessel that extended from the
upper deck to the waters edge.
There were $50 passengers. including
twenty women and six children, the
Mount Desert and the Admiral Dewey
carried forty-five persons. In addition
there were the crews of the steamers.
Panic Immediately followed the collision
and it was due to the prompt action Of
Captain Davidson of the Admiral Dewey
that a catastrophe was averted, for the
passengers on the fishing steamer began
piling over the guardrails of that vessel
and leaped for the deck of the Admiral
Dewey Had he backed his steamer away
many would have fallen into the water
Instead he kept the vessel moving slowly
ahead, and this held the prov into the
rent that had been made and afforded
boarding place for the frightened Passen-
gers of the Mount Desert Thus the two
steamers moved slowly toward the east
bank of the lower bay while wild scene
was taking place on the decks
IL was believed the Mount Desert would
sink and the passengers fought frantical-
ly to get to the deck of the Admiral
Dewey. A number of persons were
slightly injured in the stampede Men

BELL COMP ANY
IS RESTRAINED
Injunction Against Telephone
Concern on Allegation of Vio-
Iati0n of Antitrust Law.
ABSORPTION IS CHARGED
ASSERTED INDEPENDENT EN-
TERPRISES ARE SWALLOWED.

Cleveland. Nov. 22.-United States Judge
Taylor granted an injunction against the
American Telephone & Telegraph com
pany CBell long-distance SYSTEM yester-
day. and the Central Union Telephone
company (Bell company. operating in
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, restraining
them from interfering with the business
OF the Independent companies operating
in those and adjoining states.
The injunction was granted al CieVe-
land upon the application of Clarence
Brown, general counsel and James 3.
Telephone company independent long
distance telephone company operating IN
Ohio and adjoining states), in a suit
brought by that company
1t IS charged that the Bell system Is
pursuing the policy of buying independent
exchanges. of selling Bell exchanges
where there are competing companies, ana
in some instances absorbing independent
companies by merger and concentration
or division of territory so to eliminate
competition and establish a complete Bell
control. This is said to be in violation
not only of the Sherman antitrust law,
but also of the laws of Ohio, Indiana, Hi
nois and other states. This policy is said
to be shown by the official reports of the
officers and directors of the Bell company
to their stockholders.
1t appears from the bill that the origi-
nal value placed upon the Bell patents
in 1873 was 500, coo In 1879 this was in
creased to $650.OO0 A year later the value
of the same property as represented by
the capital stock was increased from
$4,000 to S6,5O0,000, or nearly eight for
one
In 1900 the capital stock had been in
creased to S25,000.000, and in April of that
year the present American Telephone &
Telegraph company took over the Bell
patents from the old company and is
sued two shares of its stock for each
share of the old stock, or in other words,
gave 100000 of its stock for the 49,
00O,O0 of stock of the old company.
The bill also charges that instead of
using their enormous profits to develop
the business, they used them in paying
eXorbitant dividends and in acquiring the
control of competitive properties in order
to suppress competition. They are also
charged with issuing many times the
original cost of the stock in stock divi-
dends and paying at times Is per cent a
year in dividends.

their work was SO coarse that they were

various business houses and asking for
small quantity of tobacco, about 10
cents worth usually, and paying for the
articles with a SO or so gold piece was
the stunt performed by the two would
be artists. and when their change was
made for them they would discover that
way down in one of the corners of their
pockets the right change would be found
by them and handed over in payment
for their purchases. The gold piece would
then be quickly snatched up and part of
the change by the man doing the buy
ing
To make the steal easier for him. the
other fellow would enter into a CONVEX
sation with the man who was enga ged
in making the sale and while his atten-
ton was thus taken up answering ques-
tons for him the purchaser would quick
ly pocket the change money on the coun-
ter.
Only the smaller business houses were
tried by the two fellows, but the proprie-
tors of these places We're not easy

worked like pair of amateurs, and their
