THIELEN IS
IN CONTROL
WahiaWa Consolidated Passes
Into His Hands---No
Changes Yet.

The control of the Wahiawa Con-
solidated Pineapple Company has pass
ed into the hands of George P. Theilen,
according to a wen authenticated re-
port in circulation yesterday. There is
to be no change at present in the man
agement of the eompany's affairs, how
ever.
This company has two thousand acres
of pineapple lands at Wahiawa, thir,
teen hundred acres of which is now In
pines. On the land is an up-to-date
cannery, enlarged this season, and the
future prospects for the company are
good.
For next season it is estimated that
the output of the company from its can
merry will be 125,000 cases of fruit
The present season is now entering
on about its last week, the management
of the Hawaiian Pineapple Company
making preparations to close down their
big cannery within that time, or at
least to lay off a large portion of the
force at work The past season has
been a good one for the Hawaiian can
merry, the spring estimates having been
overrun in the pack just finishing, while
the prospects for marketing it without
difficulty are excellent.

ACHI PLOTS

and Cathcart.

To all outward seeming appearances
there is little doing politically in the
city, but beneath the surface much
of interest is happening. "There is
more politics doing in Honolulu today
than there was the day before the
election two years ago. is the opin
ion of one active worker, who follow
the maneuvering of all the cliques and
factions very closely And from the
reports that leak out, his size-up d
the political situation just now is a
correct one.
At the present time, according to
fairly good authority, there is well
developed plot on hand to give Char
ley Hustace the grand double-cross and
land in the mayoralty chair for the
next two years no less an exalted citi-
zen than Charley Achi. This is not g
Joke as the taxpayers will find to fneis
great sorrow unless the willy schemer,
who gathers his precinct followers in
his stable tomorrow might for the
primary nominations, is circumvented.

that Hustace was the weakest candi-

DO NOT STOP
DREDGING

At midnight last night the dredger
people were making arrangements to
start up the dredging work again in
the Eva end of the harbor Work had
been discontinued at o'clock when
Captain Otwel personally arrested the
dredge operator and James H. Boyd,
the timekeeper. Most of the men
on the watch were told to go home,
but at the II clock shift some of the
night watch who had not heard of the
order were on hand and ready to go to
work. A new engineer and fireman
were located and sent over to the dredg-
er. Steam had been kept up and the
work was recommended.
Mr.. Dillingham; stated last night that
during the statement he made the other
day to United States District Attor-
ney Breckons concerning the whole sit
uatjon. Captain Otwell was present. and
made but one correction to all he said,
and he felt that the situation would
be made clear and result in the con
tractors being permitted to go ahead
with their work.
If permitted To continue. the contrac-
tors state that the work under the con
tract viii be completed within q period
of three months, although the contract
period allowed viii not expire before
late in 1909.
The entire controversy has. at the re-
quest of Major BiddIe, of the Engineer
Corps. San Francisco, been taken up by
correspondence with his office and his
recommendations are anxiously awaited
by the dredging company.

There are eighty-fve pages of type
written testimony. Of this, the testi-

pages; that of Townsend, sixteen; that

There is very little that has not al

touches that are interesting and some
of them amusing. Included in Iau-

made by Isoi at the time that Taylor

The report of the Whitley committee
in Congress was following by an inter
esting discussion of a charge brought
forward by Representative Williams,
leader of the minority, that President
Roosevelt had committed a breach OF
the proprieties in calling down" a
member of the committee The dis
cussion was as follows:

news item. | merely read the head
lines and want to say now only this:
That it is a part of our fundamental
law that no Representative of the peo-
pie shall be called to account for any
vote or utterance or report made in
his capacity as Representative, and
| to add that our forefathers inserted
that clause because it had been the
habit of George III and other English
kings to call to the kings palace men,
bers of Parliament and to berate them
on account of their votes in Pariia-
ment; or, when members of Parlia-
ment called upon other business, to
take advantage of the fact to berate
them, sometimes in public, as reported
in this case, and to class them amongst

truth of this statement, and if it be
true | shall introduce a resolution to
ask the Committee on the Judiciary tc
examine whether or not there has beer
upon the part of the executive so grave
a breach of the privileges of the House
of Representatives
Mr.. Diekema. Mr.. Chairman, | rise
for the purpose Of explaining to the
House at this time the suggestion
which was made by the distinguished
leader of the minority, the gentleman
from Mississippi, In beginning his re
marks this morning he said he arose
for two purposes and the first of those
purposes to which he referred was an
article appearing in the Washington

ton in Whitley case-Calls Repre-

gument fails to alter opinion of

Then there are certain references to
King George and his tyranny, and the
gentleman closes by saying that he
will hereafter introduce a resolution
in order that it may be determined
whether or not the privileges of the
House of Representatives have been In
fringed upon by the executive branch.

permit me to interrupt him, want him
