COTTON BROS. PAID
CASH FOR DREDGER

The big check for over $4,000 which
was received last week by Attorney
General Hemenway, as settlement of
the Judgment obtained by the Terri
tory against Cotton Bros, contractors,
of Oakland, for the loss of a Terri
torial dredger which sank off the en-
trance to Pearl Harbor channel in
1908, while under lease to that firm,
was money which Cotton Bros. them
selves paid in cash to the surety COM
pany which sent the check.
The case went up to the Supreme
Court of the United States, and judg.
ment was obtained for 1000. which
with interest and expenses, amounted
to total of $32.395.
In yesterdays mail A F. Judd, loca'
attorney for Cotton Bros, received q
letter from the firm in regard to the
check. 1t appears that on April q
Cotton Bros. paid the above sum il
cash to the United States Fidelity anC
Guaranty Company for the purpose O
satisfying the judgment. Cotton Bros
wish to have it thoroughly understood
that they dug up the cash, for other
wise il might look as il the surety
company had to make good thei
guaranty. The surety company helt
securities from Cotton Bros. far in ex
cess of the judgment.

we are not asking any unusual or I'M
reasonable thing. We trust that You
will see the justice of this request and
grant this along with other requests.
(5) The fundamental reasons for the
request of increased pay for the piece
work laborers are, respectfully to state
that they are substantially the same
| wages; but, in addition to these, we beg
leave to state that the reason why we
unite ours with theirs is that in regu-
lating our pay, the wages of the ordi-
nary field hands has been taken as the
standard. and as their wages was, and
as still is, too low, so ours were not
and are not satisfactory. At this gen
eral readjustment of wages, we beg you
to readjust ours also, thus doing justice
| to all concerned in the carrying out and
development of your plantation

cents (10c.) per ton is the same as

in Aiea the per ton compensation for

cents (2Se.). Then the cane in every
respect could be carried more cony en-

at present. Then the ground was level.
But now the ground is not level in all

greater. But, on the contrary, it was
decreased. It was lowered to twenty
FIVE cents, then to twenty cents and
now it is only seventeen cents and a
half per ton of cane carried The in
crease of ten cents now would bring up
the compensation to twenty-seven cents
and a half, which is still one half cent
lower than that of some ten years ago.
and that in spite of the fact that we
are working now under less favorable
condition than then.
(79 And, in order to satisfy our
selves and at same time, perfect the
system, both in form and substance. we

CARTER REFUSED
TRENOR'S PLACE
The Ex-Governor Said to Have
Been Asked to
Accept.

Reports that George r. Carter
brought back with him, as result of
his extended journey on the mainland,
are believed to be responsible for the
general dissatisfaction that has been
expressed with the services of j. D..
Trenor, who is receiving a salary of
$4,000 year and $4,000 for expenses to
stimulate immigration to the Territory
of Hawaii, with his headquarters locat-
ed in New York City.
When Carter returned and stated un-
eiuivocally that Trenor was not the
man for the place it is understood that
ne was asked to take the place himself
for at least year, the argument being
that he would be rendering a great
service to the Territory by reason of
his familiarity with local conditions and
his personal interest in the sugar in
dustry.
Declined to Accept.
But the Ex-Governor apparently
thought it would be too much of a per-
sonal sacrifice to isolate himself in New
York for even a year, and he declined
to consider the proposal, even if he was
assured that constant stream OF stur'
dy and willing immigrants could be
diverted in this direction. But he
didn t modify his opinions about the
efficacy of the Trenor method and this
considered in conjunction with the fail
ure of Trenor's work to come up te
expectations as shown by actual results
has about convinced those interested il
the problem of immigration that he i:
not excatly the man for the place.
With the adoption of the special in
come tax of two per cent. over $4,000
the Territory can also contribute 1T
mite, for hree-fourths of the tota
amount collected under the enforcement
of the tax will go for immigration, tn
remainder for the conservation and de
velopment of natural resources.
There is no question about the gen
eral dissatisfaction with Trenor' IS work
and conditions that have recently de
veloped have tended to lend additional
emphasis to the fact that the labo
problem in the Territory has not bee'
greatly benefited by the activities o
the special New York immigration
agent at $4,000 per year.

BAD STOMACH
Many in Augusta are Being Thorough.
Iy Purified by Mi-o-na, the Guaran.
teed Cure for Indigestion.

People OF Augusta who suffer from
dyspepsia and other stomach troubles
are getting tired of taking preparations
containing pepsin. because pepsin
simply digests the food artificially.
Pepsin relieves, it never cures.
And remember, pepsin only digests
animal food; it has no effect on
starchy food, such as potatoes, rice,
bread, etc.
Mi-o-na cleanses and purifies the
stomach and bowels, and tones up and
puts energy into the stomach walls, so
that they properly mix the food with
the natural digestive juices of the
stomach.
Mi-o-na tablets quickly arouse the
stomach from its inaction, and in a few
days it is able to do its work easily and
without exertion. There will be no
more sour stomach, fermentation of
food, dizziness, sick headache, belching
Of gas, or foul breath.
Mi-o-na only costs 80 cents large
box, and IL guaranteed by Bowditch,
Webster e. Co, to cure dyspepsia, sea
or car sickness, vomiting Of pregnancy,
and stomach sickness resulting from
over-indulgence of the night before, or

Prince Abilene and Miss La Brant at
Opera House.


Prince Albene, the man of mystery,
and Miss May La Brant, reputed to be
the cleverest second sight artist in vau-
leville will open three days engage
ment at the Opera house today.
Their work differs materially from
others who have presented the same
line in this city. There is no fussing
about this act. Mr.. Albene walks on
the stage and in a few words he eX
plains to the audience he will forfeit
one hundred dollars to the person who
will bring an article to the theatre this
week which Miss La Brant fails to tell
something about while she is bllndfold-
ed on the stage. He then invites the
people in the audience to test her pow
err CT art or skill, anything you choose
to call it. Miss La Brant comes onto
the stage at the conclusion of the eX-
planatory speech while Mr.. Abilene
passes among the audience picking up
the hundreds of odd articles which the
lady must describe. 1t is the rapidity
with which the work is done that is
most astonishing. Almost before Mr.
AlDene has secured an article Miss La
Brant is explaining what it represents,
and often throws in few remarks re-
lating to the lady or gentleman who
possesses the object. A great deal of
fun is introduced into the act, and the
profound interest which the wonderful
performance creates is relieved by fire.
