The Moores. upon their return from San

residence. evidently desiring to secIude
the unfortunate young religious zealot
from interference. perhaps by the IA

At the Franklin street house this
evening the family absolutely refused
TO permit Miss Moore TO be seen. A
woman who answered call at the door
raised window and would not ap-
proaeh nearer than the sill.
1T will be impossible to see Miss
Moore she said. .-She is i'll as are
other members of the family. 1t makes
no difference whether she is here or
not. She can not be seen by any one"
Moore. the father, appeared early this
morning at the offices in Oakland Of
the Bulletin. in the employ of which
newspaper he is a circulation canvasssr.
He refused to talk about his daughters
condition or the trouble at San Jose,
saying that he wanted no more no
toriety. Neighbors of the Moores were
not informed as to the young woman's
condition.

The RECALL OF ANDREWS

Il is very likely correct that the
"rccal" of Lorrin Andrews means
that there are political fences sadly
i'm need Of mcnding.
Possibly Andrews will assist in re-
forming Hawaii. Many will re-
member that his private and official
life were so exemplary while he was
resident in the city that his career
was pointed out as pure white
light to guide the young. This is
10 his advantage.
Hut he did not seem to be so sue
ccsslul at it in Shanghai, where he
ran foul Of Mr.. Tafts Judge Whitley.
1t Is obvious, however, that he
must be making a great sacrifice
o. "d0oty" when he gives up his lu-
cialiyc and growing practice In the
city Of Reno, Nevada, in order to ac-
Ccpt service as an uuderpaid deputy
in the service of the Attorney Gen
cral Of the Territory of Hawaii.
Is II proper to ask whether this
prospective Official has also had Of
fcrcd to him the pleasing prospect of
having the amount of his sacrifice"
privately mac up on the side? And
81 this is proper, should anyone dare
10 ask who is putting up for the
"sacrince?'
There Is another interesting phase
Of this addition to the official family.
We have in mind the refusal of the
Governor to give the people the text
OF his letters containing the nego.
tiations for the important Kapaa
land transaction.
l.. A. Thurston. who has posses
sion of these valuable and carefully
guarded documents in the capacity
Of attorney, Is an enthusiastic spon-
sor rs well as fond relative of LorrIn
Andrews. And Andrews. we are
told. Is to assist in outlining policies
and cXpounding the law on behalf Of
the people.
II is splendid thing IL relatives
be able to dwell together in unity.

MUCH POLITICS IN
andrews return
One Men Believes 1t Is
For Carter AS
Delegate

There are probably not five people
in the town at all acquainted with Lor-
rim Andrews and his record when In
Honolulu, who believe that he has
been recalled for the legal ability he
will add to the Attorney Generals de-
partment as compared with men like
Larnach and Sutton. The whole
scheme is recognized as political on
the part of the Territorial authorities
and is generally accepted as an evil
dence of the engineering Of Uncle l..
A. Thurston, who has ever been An.
drews sponsor and defender.
This morning one of the prominent
Hawaiians put forward the suggestion,
which is his conviction, that Andrews
Is being brought back to assist George
Il. Carter in campaign for the Re.
publican nomination for Delegate. The
idea that Carter wants to displace XII
hio will not down. And as Andrews
was the best political manager Garter
ever had, IL is thought that the whole
hing Is u frame-up of forces that new
or supported Kukio except when they
had to.
Their first move will be to get con
troll OF the Republican organization op
Grating through the Territorial admin
istration. Andrews will do work foi
the Attorney Generals department
when 1t offers, and politics all tn,
time.
| II is also evident that the announce
ment of Andrews return was quit,
| premature. The Governor was sur
priscd when the Bulletin MAJ
asked him about Iiemenway's new dep
uty and the speed with which Hemcn
way acknowledged the corn was
good deal like the gayety with which
man parts from good tooth.
In other than political quarters, tn
return of Andrews TO public service |
received with n smile. One man Gale,

has also come to Honolulu again t

The Pennsylvania REFINERY
and The TRUST

The investigation of the alleged
wreck Of the Pennsylvania Sugar
Refining Company by the American
Sugar Refining Company bids fair to-
be developed as one of the most vi
'iOus cases of industrial and finan-
Cial pirating that has been brought
before the country since the days of
frenzied finance.
The suit of the Pennsylvania COM
pany was settled out of court n
few weeks ago. But this Is not
considered sufficient by the Govern
mcnt. President Taft has ordered a
searching investigation OF the af-
fair, and there may be unpleasant
prospects ahead for the well-known
principals.
An editorial in LA Follette's
tells the story of this industrial dis
aster in most interesting style, and
with pointed comment on some of
the 'up-to-date" methods of doing
business. It says:
"Adolph Segal, according to this
narrative, was Philadelphia dream
er who really did things. He built
sugar refinery, under the corpo.
rate name of the Pennsylvania SUI
gar Refining Company, with ca
pacity of 1000 barrels of sugar per
day, and the best plant in America.

"Kissel, who was thought as free
from Sugar Trust associations as q
babe unborn, on being asked TO take
his s250,OOO and release the mort,
gage, to the end that SeSal might
float larger loan and build a big.
ger hotel. suggested to Segal that
he, Kissel, would like to let Sega
have the money. He offered half @
