UNCLE SAM LOOKS
FOR 900 DEsERTERs

Judging from the number of photo
graphs and descriptions of deserters
from the army received by the u 8.
Marshal during the past two months
if would appear that Uncle Sam is
losing his brave defenders at rate
sufficient to leave only the officers at
about the end of two years. Since the
first of October, Marshal Hendry has
been notified of the desertion of four

ing for the one who gets him. The
facts are not as bad as they seem,
however, and the government has no
idea that all or any of these FIVE hun.
dred oathjumpers are to be found in
Hawaii.
The law at present in force against
army assertions was passed in 1898, but
it has never been put into general effect
until the present time. Desertion has
always been punishable offense, of
course, but never before has the War
Department taken such wholesale step
towards hunting down deserters as dur
ing the past two months, flooding the
Union with photographs of the men,
descriptions of them and rewards for
their arrests.
Marshal Hendry is of the opinion that

PINK SLIPPER
FOUND AT LAST

The famous pink slipper has been
found. Charlie Lambert has it and it
lis the original little pink tootsie cover
that was lost by the fair Cinderella
when she was unceremoniously dumped
out of Lewis benzine buggy last Sun
day night.
Charlie Lambert is the discoverer of
the trophy but, unlike the princely find
err of the fairy tale, he is not chasing
round with a bunch of heralds and
trumpeters to find the~owner. Oh, dear,
no. He has that pink slipper chained
up in a conspicuous place where it will
not run away and gurgles in fat glee
whenever anybody asks him where he
found it.
1t is not known for certain, but it
seems probable that the fair owner of
the lost shoelet left it behind her when
she performed that graceful parabola
into the waters of the duck pond. Some
body picked it up and gave it to
Charlie. Anyway it does not look as
though it had been recently rescued
from the bottom of muddy pond.

Rival Sister Ships.

SEATTLE, Wash, December s.
The American Hawaiian Steamship
Company, through its Pacific Coast
agent, C. w. Cook of San Francisco,
has chartered the steamship Pleiades,
of the Boston Steamship Company, for
the run between this Coast. and Homo
lulu. She will run in direct compe-
tition with her sister ship, the Hyades,
under charter to the Matson Naviga-
ton Company, now waging war on the
American. Hawaiian. The move is the
result of an attempt of the millionaire
sugar men of the Islands to discipline
the American Hawaiian. number of
them are supposed to be behind the
operators of the Hyades.
The Pleiades, now on the Sound, will
be converted into an oil burner and
delivered to the American Hawaiian
by January l. When the Hyades was
chartered the announcement was made
that the Matson Company would in
crease its feet if business warranted.
The natural move would be to charter
the Pleiades, the Hyades sailing with
full cargoes. The American-Hawaiian
Company was apparently watching the
situation, for last week G. w. Cook
came to Seattle and yesterday COM
plcted the charter of the Pleiades. II
is generally believed that the move
was made simply to keep the vessel
out of the hands of the opposition.

WEIRD TALE OF
4 PETITIONER.

The wife of Tatsugaro Funakoshi,
now undergoing a thirty-year sentence
for the murder of Motohioro, which oc.
CURED some years ago in Hilo, wants
to secure pardon for him, and has
addressed a petition to the Governor
in the matter, laying before him a sur
prising number of "faets," and con
Guiding her petition with the statement
that she is trusting in the fathom-
less mercy Of your Excellcncy and leav-
ing the fate of my husband in your
hands, According to the reasons she
advances for the extension of this faith
omless mercy, Funakoshi is certainly
deserving Of pardon.
In the first place, according to the
statements in the petition, the dead
man, Motohioro, was not murdered at
all, but committed suicide. After the
death, her husband notified the author
| tiles, but through a plot on the part
of one Sato, aided by three Japanese
enemies and two equally hostile white
men of Hilo, her husband was arrested
and charged with the crime of murder
These six enemies perjured themselves
at the trial, "telling everything but
what was 500 and on this evidence n
conviction was gained and Funakoshi
sentenced. During the trial all tho
friends of the accused were intimidated
with threats that they would he accus-
ed also of murder and arrested il they
attempted to assist in the defense OF
give truthful testimony, while Sheriff
Overend, then in office, drove her and
her friends out of Hilo, and warned
them to keep at least Eve miles away
during the trial.
The petitioner further accuses Sato
of plotting to have her husband pois-
oned while in Jail, attempting to bride
a Japanese doctor to give the fatal
dose, n bride and offer which was
spurned. Some Of the witnesses at the
trial were bribed successfully, however.
Her attorney, too, went over to the
enemy. She states that she paid him
$4,000 to carry on the defense, but that
in spite of this he stood in with the
prosecution and added further injury
by coming to her house and taking
away from her for further payment q
silk dress, gold watch and six silver
watches, all of which were sold to
bride witnesses on the other side.
Acting-Governor Mott-Smith has rs
yet taken no action in the matter of
the petition.
