A. J. CAMPBELL
IS BACK HOME
Special Agent Says That Portu-
guese immigrants Will
Be Plentiful.

A. J. Campbell, special agent of the
board of immigration, who returned on
the Alameda yesterday morning from
an extended tour in the Azores and
Portugal on behalf of the board, be-
lieves that immigrants may very profit
ably be brought from Portugal in
monthly installments. Mr.. Campbell
found suitable material for colonists to
be plenty in Portugal and he says that
monthly shipments by way of the 18th
mus of Tehuantepec would prove en-
tirely feasible.
Mr.. Campbell found plenty of desir-
able people ready to emigrate but ex..
perienced great difficulty in keeping a
sufficient number together to fill up a
chartered ship. Most of the would-be
emigrants are not in position to await
idly the sailing of vessel some time
in the future and if means of trans
portation are not provided as soon as
they are ready to start, the result is
that they drift away and are not to be
found on the sailing date.
In the Azores Mr.. Campbell found
but little to encourage him in seeking
colonists there. The people have gone
out into the rural districts and are
comfortably located on the land. Thus
they do not feel any inclination to
leave and do not listen readily to sug-
gestions that they leave and go else
where. In Portugal conditions are
otherwise and the inducements which
the immigration board has to offer them
are listened to with favor.
"There are plenty of desirable col
onists to be had from Portugal" said
Mr.. Campbell to an Advertiser repre-
sentative. "There is every reason to
believe that monthly excursions by way
of Tehuantepec would prove profitable
The great difficulty in keeping the
prospective emigrants together, which
is experienced when they are to travel
in large parties, would then be OBJ
Waited"
Though the Swanley, the vessel
which Mr. Campbell chartered to bring
the colonists from Portugal, was moi
filed to her capacity by any means
Mr.. Campbell believes that, on the
whole, his mission was successful; hi
has ascertained that there are plenty
of immigrants to be had from Portugal
he knows from what part of the coun
| try the most desirable colonists car
be had, and he has interested the Port
uguese rural population in the Hawai-
| ian Islands.

is not likely to visit on his general

in, while Others contributed as soon as
the matter was mentioned. Begging,

even for the small contributions want

ARE OUR BASEBALL
HEROES SLAVES?
Lawyers Claim Sale of Players
Violates the Thirteenth
Amendment.
(By Associated Press.)

WILKESBARRE, December TO-
When Abraham Lincoln freed the
slaves did he, without knowing it, com
init an act which may result in revo-
luton in the ranks Of those who fight
Americas battles on the baseball dia-
monde This is the question which anx-
ious baseball magnates are asking them
selves. The attorneys in suit, now
on trial here, growing out of a quarrel
over the possession of ball player,
have raised the point that the sale of
baseball player is violation of the
thirteenth amendment to the Constitu-
tion.
The thirteenth amendment to the
Constitution was passed to back up Lin
coin s emancipation proclamation, and
was aimed at the letters of the negro.
Managers are now wondering if, all I'M
knowingly, they have been guilty Of
tratficking in human flesh. contrary to
the provisions of the Constitution.

SLIPPERY TOM
ELUDES ENTIRE
POLICE FORCE
(From Sundays Advertiser.)

. From Sundays Advertiser.)
BY his slippery evolutions yesterday,
Thomas Richards earned for himself an
eel,like reputation in the eyes of the
police and caused them not little
anxiety. He is at present, in company
with Antoine Phillips, under indict-
ment for highway robbery in the Sec
ond degree, and as both failed to put
in an appearance in court yesterday
morning when their case was called,
bench warrants were issued for them.
Later, Richards bondsman took him
in tow with the purpose of surrender
ing him to the police, but on the way
down to the station he slipped away
and the surety showed up sans his
principal.
The police then went out after him
and finally located and arrested him.
Richards, however, is not a man to be
disturbed by trife like this, and
promptly climbed over the fence when
no one was looking and is at present
at large. Chief of Detectives McDuf.
fie was requested to look him up and
had one of his staff on his track all
evening. 1t is asserted that Slippery
Tom will be given chance to prove
his prowess again today.

COUNTY OF MAUI
WANTS A POOR FARM

The County of Maui wants a poor
farm and is taking steps to get it.
What Maui wants with poor farm
nobody knows, for it was supposed that
nobody on Maui was SO poor as to re-
quire public assistance and free home.
But Maui evidently thinks that poor
farm is something needed among the
assets of the county, and steps are
being taken to secure it.
Superintendent Marston Campbell
stated yesterday that for some time
he has been in correspondence with
Supervisor Pogue with reference to set.
ting aside about 200 acres of land in
the Kula district for county farm.
superintendent Campbell has taken the
matter under consideration and will
submit it to the Governor for his ap.
proval. Surveyor Kanakanui, who is
going to Maui in January 10 clear up
a number of land matters, will be in.
structed to lay OFF the proposed poor
farm.
Superintendent Campbell states, also,
that he has perfected all matters relat.
ing to the widening of Bethel street
md the transfers will be made Mon.

BOSTON RACER
FOR PACIFIC
Atlantic Yacht Proposed for the
Next Coast-to-H Honolulu
Racing Event.

New York Herald, November 2s.-
The transpaci6c yacht race from San
Pedro, California, to Honolulu will be
sailed again next summer. Mr.. Frank
Hay of the South Coast Yacht Club
has written the Rudder regarding the
long ocean race, and in commenting
upon the contest Mr.. Thomas Fleming
Day says:
"This and the Bermuda race are the
two mainstays of yachting, and there
has never been anything like them.
The Pacific race is one of two thou
sand miles, but the course is over n
kindly bit of ocean and the vessels
enjoy a leading wind. Mr.. Hay says
that next July they will start two
classes, one under and one over sixty
feet. The smaller class will use the
Bermuda rule for rating the length
over all, with an allowance of ninety
minutes to the foot. So far as the al
lowance goes, it has been shown that
in these races it is of little conse-
quence, the winning or losing depend
ing on the handling and navigating A
carefully-helmed and constantly.driven
vessel will win, no matter what her al
lowance is.

Bermuda races from larger vessels by
being driven and well navigated. The

because she was taken over the short
