.BELASkA ltLLS
BIZARRE YARN

Belaska, the Chilean caught under
a bed in the house of L. Faxon Bishop
Saturday, gives an explanation of his
unauthorized presence in the home of the
fnancier which is unique to say the
least. He says that he met Porto
Rican down town. They talked and
the stranger invited him to take car
ride. They rode to the end of the Nuu-
anu line and on leaving it, walked up
the street some distance. The stranger
finally came to gate and told Belaska
to come in as it was his house, or a
friend IS. They entered and came across
Japanese with whom they talked, so
Belaska says. When they came to the
house, the stranger told Belaska to
wait, and the former disappeared into
the house, coming back later on and
inviting Belaska to go in. He asked
Belaska to remove his shoes.
"Why should | take my shoes off, +"
asked Belaska. "You didn It. -
"Oh, my shoes are Clean" said the
stranger.
Belaska finally took off his shoes and
went in. The stranger wore white
shoes with rubber soles They went
upstairs anu entered Deurooh, Nnile
they were there they heard people com.
ing in, whereupon the stranger, so Be.
laska says, turned upon him with a
knife and said if he called out or said
anything at all he would be killed. The
stranger finally ordered Belaska under
the bed, and the stranger disappeared,
according to the weird tale which the
prisoner tells.
Belaska denies having had knife
saying he never carried one. He was
not told that an open knife had been
found under the bed. Belaska says he
came here on the oil tank steamer W.
S. Porter, and decided to remain here
when the vessel returned to the Coast
last week.

FLYING SPARKS START
FIRE IN CANEF|ELDs

Flying sparks from passing train
set fire to the canefeld on Waipahu
plantation in five different places yes
terday. The cane was just dry enough
to burn readily, and before anyone real
lied what was happening a serious
blaze was threatened
The alarm was hastily turned in and
the entire force turned out to combat
the flames. 1t was hot work for few
minutes, but the blazes were extingush-
ed before much damage had been done.
Manager Bull stated last night that the
loss is but nominal.
News of the fire was telephoned into
this city to the police, and a rumor was
started to the effect that all of the
Waipahu canefelds were on fire. Sew
eral telephone calls were receivd at the
Advertiser office during the afternoon
from persons anxious to secure par
ticulars regarding the conhagration.

COUNT ERFE|T
COINS FOUND

Counterfeit silver money has made Its
appearance in this city in no incon-
siderable quantities. Yesterday police
official discovered some counterfeit
coins in kakaako, and from what can
be learned, several merchants have
suffered of late from the passers of
spurious coin.
Whether some "shover of the queer "
has chosen this city as a place for
operations, or whether some innocent
party brought the bad coins in unin.
tentionally, the authorities have not
been able to decide. That the money
is not being made in the Territory
seems tolerably certain.
The coins so far discovered are very
poor specimens of the counterfeiter IS
art, and would not stand much chance
of passing the average American
cashier. For this reason it is believed
that they may have been sent here with
the idea that Chinese and Hawaiian
merchants would not prove so critical.
The money seized yesterday is very
largely of lead or some other base
metal. A near-silver dollar was con-
siderably heavier than it should have
been, and the shape was noticeably bad
The coin was evidently cast in a crude
plaster of paris mold made from q
| rather worn dollar.

OFFICIAL CHAT 7
IS ALLEGED

That the inspectors at San Francisco
are acquiring undeserved wealth at the
expense of Hawaiian pineapple plant
ers, is the charge made by the Hawaii
Herald. The August IL issue of that
paper prints the following account of
the action of the San Francisco Off.
cials:
1t has been supposed that fruit,
fumigated in the Territory of Hawaii,
is not subject to fumigation upon its
arrival at San Francisco, but Hilo
shippers have found that this is not
the case.
When the Enterprise left here in
June she took large consignments Of
fresh pineapples, all of which were
carefully examined and fumigated in
IIilo by Brother Matthias Newell, the
official plant and fruit inspector at
this port. After ample time had been
given to ascertain the results of his
work he found thousands of dead in
sects on the floor of the compartment
on which they were fumigated and, be-
ing satisfied that all animal life was
dead, he gave the necessary certifi-
Gates to that effect.
1t appears, however, that the GER
tifcates of the Hilo inspector were
ignored by the San Francisco officials,
the pineapples being again tumigated
there at the expense of the Hilo ship
pcrs. This work is supposed to be
done free of cost, but the Coast men
| at first declined to fumigate the pines
at less than % cents crate, finally
| reducing their charge to Is cents
when they found that the higher one
would not be paid.
The net profit for the San Francisco
inspectors amounted to more than sew
enty dollars, which may account for
the fact that the local certificates were
not accepted there. That it was n
pure and simple piece of graft is evil
dent from the fact that the charge
first asked, 25 cents, was lowered to
Is cents, for had it been a regular Off
cial straight fee it could not have
been lowered.

ALLOWANCE OF MISS
CAMPBELL INCREASED

The petition of the guardian of
Beatrice Campbell for an increase Of
5000 a month in her allowance from
the Campbell estate was granted by
Judge Robinson yesterday morning.
Witnesses testified that the present al
lowance of $500 month was far from
being enough to pay the expenses of
the young lady, but they thought that,
with economy, she might be able to
scrimp through on 800. The motion
was vigorously opposed by the trustees
of the estate, trustee Cecil Brown MAX
ing the statement that the girl is rum
ming through the estate and spending
her sisters money as well as her own.
Notwithstanding this, however, Mrs.
Muriel Campbell on the witness stand
supported the petition for an increase
in her sisters allowance.

IMMIGRATION
MONEY READY

There is now in the Treasury of the
Territory of Hawaii the sum of $115,-
600 deposited to the credit of the con-
servation and immigration fund Of
this amount, onefourth is for conserva-
ton and the remaining threefourths
for immigration, according to the pro
visions of the Conservation and 1mmi-
grafton Act passed by the last LegisIa'
ture.
This means that there is on hand
now the sum of $s6,25O which may be
applied to bringing immigrants to Ha.
wall. This, even at cost of 5000 per
immigrant, which is probably excessive,
would provide for bringing in over 1900
prospective citizens and will go long
way toward solving the labor problem
And Treasurer Conkling statesI that
next year the fund will be twice as
large.

HUMANE ouCItIY
DOES GUOO WORK

In a quiet way, the work of the
Humane Society is being made effec-
tual through systematic oversight of
all the sixty-four stables in town
where hundreds of horses and mules
are housed. The Humane Society, since
its reorganization last year, has been
keeping close tab on animals, and
there are few suffering dumb brutes
to be seen on the streets.
Miss Dawson not only has her spe-
cial agents badge from the Humane
Society, but she is provided with u
Board of Health agents badge and
a special police commission from the
Attorney General s Department. She
has visited all the stables. In mar
she found horses and mules laid up,
undergoing treatment. When she be.
gan her work on the streets, many
more were added to the animal hos.
pital rolls.
1t is only amongst the ignorant own.
ers of horses and mules that suffering
brutes are to be found, but these are
gradually learning that weak, crippled
sick and decrepit mules and horses must
not be worked.
The big firms, draying concerns, etc,
which use scores of high.priced horses
and mules, regard them as an asset to
be well looked after Some stables are
visited regularly every Sunday by
veterinarics and if any animals show
! signs of having been used too hard
during the week, they are singled ou
| for treatment.
One difficulty with the poor owners
! of horses, and these are largely Japa
nese and Chinese, is the fact that owing
to having little money, they buy {
cheap horse at a cheap price. Otter
it is crippled, and instead of being
turned out to pasture, the animal il
| put to work to earn back the pric,
paid for it.
The Humane Society prefers to worl
in harmony with animal owners ant
users rather than resort to drasti
methods. This system has been fount
to work satisfactorily.

MARAUOER HAD
DEADLY KNIFE
(From Mondays Advertiser.)

(trom Monday 8 Advertiser.
An open-bladed knife rested in the
hand of Tony Belaska when he was
discovered under a bed in the resi-.
dence of Mr.. and Mrs. E. Faxon Bishop
Saturday night. The knife was found
under the bed yesterday morning and
turned over, to the police.
The knife is a metal-handled, one.
bladed affair of the "XCLNT' brand.
1t is comparatively new, and the point
is needle.pointed. The fact that it was
open when found indicates clearly that
the burglar mad determined either to
defend himself if caught unawares, or
to make desperate attempt to escape
if opportunity afforded, using the knife
to clear the way.
Mrs. Bishops own part in the affair
did much toward preventing the burglar
from making an attempt to wriggle out
from under the bed, for she called to
her husband that an intruder was in
the house. Mr.. Bishops quick response
to the call with rifle decided Belaska IS
chance to use the knife, and when the
man did emerge from under the bed,
he was knifeless, but the loot which
he had secured while rifing bureau
was in his pockets. While Mrs. Bishop
telephoned to the police station, Mr..
Bishop stood guard over the prisoner.

TENDERS MUST
Be REASONABLE

Whether or not Honolulu merchants
are given a permanent opportunity to
submit tenders for furnishing quarter
masters and commissary supplies for
the Army, will depend largely upon
the first lot of bids submitted, accord
ing to letter received by the Mer-
chants Association from George b.
Mcclellan. He states that the Quarter
master General of the Army has ex'
pressed a willingness to receive bids
on such articles as local merchants be-
lieve they can furnished at a price
that will compete with mainland
figures. Mcclellan s letter is as fol
lows:
July 26, 1909.
The Merchants Association, Honolulu
Hawaii.
Dear Sirs: Referring again to the
question of Quartermaster and Com
missary supplies for the Army, l beg
to advise you that the Quartermaste,
General has said that if the merchants
of Honolulu will submit lists of ar
ticles on which they desire to bid. al
opportunity will be given them to make
tenders ON such supplies.
II 10 lihtlN lhhJ lht
of the opportunity to bid on all the
lines requested would depend upon the
success our merchants were able tt
achieve in competing with mainland
bidders. The Quartermaster Genera
seems to think that it will be impossi
BILE for our merchants to compete OF
most of the heavy articles because OF
the fact that the Quartermaster' De
partment practically has free freigh
from the Coast on all their goods.
Now, that the beginning of a Com
missary Depot has been made at Homo
lulu, it will undoubtedly be developed
as rapidly as the requirements of tn,
service there shall demand. The amoun
of supplies which will be purchased a
Honolulu will simply depend on wheth
err our merchants can furnish the good
at price advantageous to the govern
ment Very truly yours,

paratively small amount of material

of local interest, condensed for their
information. This the editor win en-.
deavor TO do, to the best of his ability.

Monthly is to record local progress and
happenings, and to bring the planters
of Hawaii into more intimate acquain'
tance with each other, and to make
known, to mutual advantage, the ex.
periments, developments and progress
going on in the islands. The editor
can stumble into some knowledge of
the facts, and, by personal canvass
which can never be very complete, as,
certain some more; but the full knowl
edge of what is going on Is, after all
known only to the planters themselves
they will each, from time TO time
communicate 10 the Monthly what Is
being done In thcir vicinity that is Of
interest to them. II will1 certainly be
