THE FALKLAND ISLANDS CLAIM.

The long standing dispute concerning the
ownership of the Falkland Islands has again
been revived. our contributor, "EX-Attache,'
reminded is the other day. by the action Of the
Argentine government, through its Foreign Min
ister in declining to recognize British sOver-
eighty over those islands and in repeating Ar
sentina's historic claim thereto American in
terest in the matter will probably be chiefly
academic and there seems to be little danger
that il will be magnified into a serious inter
national controversy. Nevertheless, it will be
well to keep the recorded facts Of the case
clearly in mind.
The Falkland Islands were probably diScoy-
cred by a British explorer. either Hawkins or
Davis late in the sixteenth century. but were
not occupied nor does ii appear that they
were claimed for the British crown Later they
were visited ard named by the Dutch They were
first occupied and colonizcd by the French in the
eighteenth century. but during the Seven Years
War France ceded them to Spain. and Spain
in turn yielded them to Great Britain, in III,
when they were renamed as at present but were
not occupied or settled. They remained quite
neglected until 1920, when ono Lewis Vcrnet and
some companions, claiming to be citizens of the
newly formed republic of Buenos Ayres, settled
there and professedy in the name Of the Buenos
Ayres government. began seZing American and
other vessels which touched there, on the pre-
text that they were transgresslng the laws Of
Buenos Ayres Thereupon President Jackson
acted ne Monroe had acted in the cases of Gal
weston and Amelia Island. He sent naval ex-
pedition thither and drove away Vernet and
his band as mere freebooters. Meantime the
Buenos Ayres government bad asserted its SOW
ereignty over the islands and had declared
Ternet to be their lawful governor. So n long
and somewhat acrimonious controversy ensued
between the United States and Buenos Ayres
which ended in the suspension of diplomatic re-
lations between them in 1882. Then, in 1888
Great Britain took possession of the islands,
which she has since maintained and has
made effective by occupation, colonization aud
government.
The government of Buenos Ayres, Argen-
tina, promptly protested against the British oc-
cupation and long controversy followed Ar
gentina claimed the islands by virtue Of her
succession TO the sovereignty Of Spain. But
Lord Palmerston shrewdIy replied that Spain
had undisputedly ceded the islands to Great

COKE WORKING FOR
ELECTRIC FRANCHISE

James A. Coke, of Maui, is now in
Washington looking after the inter
ests of a franchise for installation of
an electric power plant on Maui, which
it is expected will be approved by Con
gress at the present session. a bill
granting the franchise, subject to its
approval by Congress, was passed at
the last session of the Territorial Legis-
lature and II is expected that there
will be little trouble in obtaining the
desired permission from Washington.
The power plant which is planned
will supply electricity to the towns of
Lahaina and Kahului, as wen as fur
nishing power for use on several plan
tations. 1t should be a great benefit
to the towns, which are, at present
lighted only by lamps.

deepest green just where the final
slope of the precipice foot merges into
the fat, in the midst of the green a
white spot being conspicuous. The
green patch is the two hundred acres
of growing manioca, from the root CT
which is extracted the stiffening for
the shirt fronts and other linens OF
Honolulu. The white spot amid the
green is the mill where the roots are
ground, macerated and the starch ex-
tracted and dried.
The industry is well past the expert
mental stage, although in it's infancy.
The plans for the future include the
charging of the present mill or the
building of new one. with modern
equipment, for the manufacturing ma
chinery in the present mill is very
primitive, and the planting of a double
or treble acreage of manioea. Hawai-
ian starch for export from the Koo-
lau district will follow as a result of
the undermining of this plant or the
building of new one.

ROsENBERG's TRIAL
OUTLASTS one DAY

j. Rosenberg's trial for receiving
property stolen from United States
came on before Judge Dole yesterda!
morning. Deputy District ATTORNEY
w. T. Rawlins appeared for the Unit
ed States and A. G. NJ. Robertson fol
the defendant. The jury empanelet
were John Eff1nger, Charles H. Ather
ton, John Cassidy, w. ]. Dyer, VIM
F. Hebron, E. A. McInerny, j. H
schnack, S. A. Walker, VIM. H. King
William Lisnman, William Chalmers
and J. J. Macdonald.
David Kaulo, one of the four boys
who pleaded guilty to larceny of Uncle
Sans property, was the only witness
examined for the day.
Mr.. Robertson made early objection
to his evidence, on the ground that
copper wire is not metal" He pro-
duced a bunch of authorities to show
that proof must conform to the speci-
fed charge in the Indictment. Thus
it had been held in Massachusetts, that
larceny of an ..aII WOOL blanket could
not be proved by evidence of the steal
ing of a blanket of half cotton fabric.
In this case the Indictment said metal,
hence it was argued that the boys
evidence of taking copper wire was
incompetent.
Mr.. Rawlins did not go to the books
but contended that the objection was
''only a play on words"
Judge Dole ruled that the cases
cited did not precisely apply. In the
circumstances as shown copper wire
could be classed with junk in general
as metal.
Later Robertson caused a laugh by
a retort. Rawlins had replied to a
later objection, quoting an old saying
that one could not reach heaven at a
bound. The prosecution could not put
its whole case on at one breath.
You will not get to heaven if you
don't try Robertson returned. You
can't get there by whipping the devil
around a stump
Besides copper wire the witness cat
alogued pipe, lead, etc, amongst the
stuff he and his pals had taken from
the storehouse near the drillshed.
There are four indictments against
Rosenberg, but, as District Attorney
Breckons stated yesterday, if convic-
ton results in the first case the others
will not be prosecuted.
Members of defendants family were
anxious spectators of the proceedings
yesterday.
OFFICIAL ACCOUNTS.
Accounts of Marshal Hendry and of
Commissioner Davis were approved by
Judge Dole yesterday morning.

HOW MANY WILL GO?
Independence Party Opens
It's National Conven-
tion Monday.

William r. Hearst's independent par
tp goes into session for regular ma
tional convention next Monday even
ing in Orchestra hall, in Chicago.
How the Lake county men will at
tend as visitors is problematical. 1t is
doubtful whether the independence
party itself knows where 1t is a in
Lake county. Very little activity has
been felt so far. although the leaders
in both republican and democratic
parties say that they expect some signs
Of life.
1t does not look now as though the
Hearst party will have a ticket in Lake
county next fall Should one mater
ialize. however. 1t is believed that 1t
will be merely nominal.
1t would not be at all surprising to
see more republicans and democrats
from Lake county attend tho conven-
tion next week than independence par
ty men themselves. They would like
to see some Of inner workings Of the
party and compare facts with what
they see in the Hearst papers.
