ton with a Japanese who is supposed
to be yard-boy in the neighborhood
1t will be remembered that not long
ago The Star reported that e. Faxon
Bishop had received an anonymous let
ter warning him that he might expect
trouble, presumably because of his re-
presentation of the Planters Associa-
tion, for he is at present the high
mucka-muck in sugar circles and, of
course, the police are not losing sight
of the fact that there is the remote
possibility of the entry of Bishops
house having something to do with
the veiled threat against the leading
representative of the Hawaiian Sugar
Planters Association, in connection
with the now waning strike agitation
Tony, however, is now where he can
do no harm, and the police are silently
at work to ascertain who was the man
with whom Tony had company before
he entered the home of the Bishops;
also will they inquire into the conyer-
sation he and his mate had with GER
tain Japanese yard-boy.
The discovery of the Chilean under
the bed of the Bishops was not with
out its heroic phase, for it was Mrs
Bishop who first knew of the presence
of the intruder, and she discovered his
whereabouts through the means of spy
ing his feet sticking out from under
the bed, Restraining any natural inn
pulse to cry out with alarm, the brave
lady calmly notified her husband, who
lost not a second in presenting himself
at the scene of danger, armed with a
rife After that it was simple mat
ter to cover the criminal with the
shooting iron while the lady telephoned
for the police.

CASSIUS
vANISHES

Cassius Griffith, young, pretty, we'll
dressed, popular with the ladies and
something of a business hutler and
not without a leaning to letters, has
disappearec.
His dress-suit case went aboard the
u. S. Army transport Sheridan, en-
route to Manila, Saturday afternoon,
and whether Cassius, or "Juninus Bru-
tus'' as some of his friend called him,
accompanied his dress-suit case is not a
matter to be sworn to. For Cassius
may have fooled the men who actually
saw him go aboard the transport. That
may have been only his astral body
embarking, while Cassius, his corporal
self. may be doing didos up Tantalus,
worshipping the sunrise or picking
wild berries.
Cassius was mead of the Honolulu
Distributing Bureau, with headquarters
in room 9, Waity building; he was also
collecting bills for the Alexander Young
and Moana hotels; he was also doing
other monetary matters for other peo-
pie; likewise was he engaged to be
married to local lady who is referred
to as Princess So-and-SO." But the
lady is not greving, though some Of
his business acquaintance may be
worrying slightly; perhaps Cassius will
send checks by wireless.
In any event, the handsome little
Cassius has disappeared and the Homo
ness venture is about to go into the
hands of c. NJ. Graham who will take
things up where they left off and con-
tinue the Bureau to success.
The Honolulu Distributing Bureau is
solvent and will continue to do bust
ness as the old stand with Graham at
the helm

teen indictments against them and put
them under heavy bonds in each case.
Instead of that course, only so many
indictments as were necessary to make
the issue were brought.
lnnicence of expression in the ar
ticles produced in evidence taken by
themselves was not reason for clear
ing the defendants. If the effect Of
the articles was violation of law, their
authors were responsible. Mr.. Kinney
quoted from memory a California case
where a gathering of farmers passed
a resolution to take all proper means
for preserving their rights in a certain
matter of taking land for public uses.
The farmers appeared at the scene of
the disputed premises armed with shot
guns, and the court held that the re-
solution was evidence Of conspiracy to
do unlawful acts, since such acts were
obviously the fruits of the combina-
tion. 1t did not matter whether the
Higher Wage Association controlled
the utterances of the Nippu Jill. The
defendants had all been identified as
having been working on one common
plan. Counsel went into particulars
of the different functions of the defen-
dants in the matter, causing smile
among the defendants when he referr-
ed to Tasaka as a specialist in ora
tory. Tasaka appeared to appreciate
the compliment.
Mr.. Kinney proceeded to review the
evidence
At IL o'clock the court took recess
until 2 o'clock, a change from the
hours adopted during evidence taking

INVESTIGATORS

I incidentally we mad a very good
time. We were splendidly taken care
of by Mr. Campbell and the Messrs
Baldwin. AS matter of interest we
visited Haleakala, going up Friday
night anc coming back Saturday. We
saw the effect of the clouds spilling
in from the windward side.
"The weather was such as to give a
fascinating though not clear view
Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa were seen
above the clouds like floating islands.
The changing of the clouds in the
crater yielded charming effects.
"Coincidentally we were impressed
with the public spirit of your citi-
zens in various ways One example is
seen in the stone shelter house, with
stable and cistern, on the slopes of
Haleakala. Then the trail is spen-
didly marked with sienboards up every
tenth of a mile, so that YOU know
constantly just where you are. This
lis just one type of the spirit of your
people and the way that spirit mani
tests itself
I'VE are going tomorrow to Kauai

BISHOPS BURGLAR
MAY BE SEQUEL TO
THREAT OF VENGEANCE
WHMPERING LoAFER FROM UNDER RICH MANS
COUCH IN NUUANU, BELIEVED OF EXPERIENCED
CROOK OR IDENTIFIED ANONYMOUS WARNING TO LEAD
Err OF SUGAR PLANTERs-CoMNnTTED FOR TRIAL

Tony Belaska, Chilean, was this
morning in police court by Judge An
drade committed to the Circuit Court
for thial on charge of burglary, in
that he was found under bed in the
residence of Mr.. and Mrs. L. Faxon
Bishop, Nuuanu, Saturday night.
Tony cried and wept. and slobbered
in his cell, claiming that he was the
victim of some other man who had got
him to enter the house, which is prob
ably true. Nevertheless, Tony had no
business in the house and will have an
opportunity OF explaining the fact
higher up or else going to Jail for a
long term. His bail, if any one will
go his bail, is set at $500.
After Tony had been ordered out
from under the Bishop bed by the lord
of the mansion who held a rifle con-
venient to immediate execution, if ne
cessary, a knife was found under the
couch where the whimpering wouldbe
burglar had bungled.
1t was an "XLNT' a very cheap
kind of pocket-knife, blade open, and
in this connection it may be repeated
that 1t was an "IXL," equally cheap
and equally a pocket-knife, that one
Mori used to stab Sheba.
Tony Belaslka is no relation to the
great theatrical magnate, Tony Belasco
though the Honolulu Tony may have
been rehearsing some private theatrical
on his own account or at the inspira-
tion of his comrade who sent him into
the rich mans house.
The theory of the police is that Tony
was picked up to be used as a tool by
some experienced and old-time crook
who believed there was plumber to be
had in the Bishop residence
1t is said, further, that Tony was
seen with another man before he was
discovered under the Bishop bed and
that at the time he was then seen he

TO a Star reporter this morning on
the trip to Maui and the general sub
ject OF the mission of Mr.. Leighton
and himself to these islands.
You are simply educating us here
at the islands," Mr. Mendenhal said
" in showing us about and letting us
see the developments already made of
your natural resources.
Until we get acquainted with the
islands we cannot say very much.
Their conditions are unique, as You
have no doubt often been told, being
almost entirely different from those
lof the mainland.

Mr.. Campbell We took the trail along
the ditch that flows on the windward
side of Haleakala, and gained some
comprehension of TIE type Of problem
existing there, and the methods that
have been used in the solution of the
problem so far as il has been solved.
1--WE were much impressed with the
fulness of the engineering and with
the peculiar character of the runoff
1t belongs to the type which in the
States we call the 'flashy' The water
comes with the rainfall 1t comedies
with the runoff.
Likewise we were impressed with
the density of the covering CT vegeta-
tion and it's exceeding effectiveness
for conserving the water supply. With
out it | imagine you could conserve
no water.
1--WE recognize, as your engineers
and irrigators have, that that side of
the island, or at least the higher slopes,
will preserve their maximum useful
ness if the forest is conserved as it is
being conserved. Certainly the water
users over there are thoroughly awake
to conservation.

| am greatly impressed with. the
wonderful possibilities Of northern
Minnesota, and especially the great
advance that is being made along
the line of developing the resources
of this part Of the state. It is indeed
wonderful"
The above statement was made
TODAY by G. A. Mitchell of,St. Paul,
assistant general passenger agent Of
the Northern Pacific railway, who
passed through the city over the M.
& I. railway, in company with W. H.
Gemmell, general manager, and w.
H. Strachan, superintendent, of the
NJ. & l.. who were aboard a special
train.
The special train was composed
of an engine, a baggae-car,. and a
private car, and was taken north
from Brainerd to International Falls
Wednesday night. The party spent
yesterday in International Falls,
looking over the work that is being
done there in Harvesting aud utiliz-
ing the great waterfall in the Rainy
River.
This was Mr.. Mitcheil's initial
trip to the Falls and other points
north Of Brainerd along the line of
the M. & I. railway, and the entire
trip was continuous surprise ro the
st. Paul man, who was especially
interested in the work of building
the dam at the boundary town.
w. H. Gemmell, general manager
of the M. & l., said of the trip:
This trip is taken simply fol-. the
purpose Of inspecting the line from
Brainerd north. Everything is
working in apologize order, along
the line, and I am well satisfied.
Business with the M. &. I. has
been very quiet of late; but we ex-
pect it to pick up soon, as the spring
cedar movement will soon start,
which means much increased BUSH

Dynamite Caused Some Uneasiness.
A car Of dynamite was the cause
of considerable concentrated concern
down at the M. & I. depot, today.
The explosive is billed for Interna-
tional Falls, to be used in blasting
rock on the dam there. The. car
was brought to Bemidji, which is
the end of the division between
Brainerd and Bemidji, and placed
carefully in the yards here. G. A..
Walker, the agent for the M. & l.,
stated that the car must be placed
as nearly as possible in the center of
the train { which must be freight
train) at least fifteen cars from the
engine and ten cars from the caboose.
We are of the opinion that Agent
Walker will feel more at ease when
that car reaches it's destination at
International Falls.

Word comes from St. Paul to the
effect that the Opsahl bill providing
for the furnishing of dynamite to
farmers on cut-over lands at cost has
been recommended for passage in
the house, with good prospects Of
eventually passing both houses of
