FIREBALLS PLAYED TAG UPON
THE BEN LEES YARDARMS

tain Anderson and his crew were quite
large and glowed as brilliantly as cleo
tric ares.
The ship met heavy weather on most
of the long trip, which consumed l6I
days. In one Of the squalls topsail
was ripped to ribbons. The matches
were opened yesterday and an inspec-
ton made by Captains Clark and An
derson and customs official, of the
main hatch, under which nitrates and
other fertifzing adjuncts were slowed,
to ascertain their condition. Toward the
end of the voyage this hold produced
gaseous vapors that entered the Sleep
ing quarters of the officers and crew.
The vessel brought a large cargo,
comprising about 3T37 tons, including
1900 cases Of liquor, pig iron, bricks and
nitrates. The Ben Lee is about sixteen
years of age and was named after one
of Scotland s famous mountains.
A feature of the working parts of the
rigging is the use of winches for brac-
ing the yards, saving much rope aad
manual labor These are the patents
of Captain Howe. Another such winch
is called the halyard winch, which has
similar use to the yard machines.
The Ben Lee is at the Hackfeld wharf.

Informed and minded Japanese.
Taken all together we should regard
the strike at Hawaii as nothing very
serious, which would soon readjust it
self satisfactorily to both sides if left
to the employers and the employed, in
asmuch as our laborers in Hawaii have
not yet developed any symptoms of or
gained hostility toward capital.
AS to the alleged illegahty Of action
on the part of the Hawaiian author
tiles in connection with the arrest of
the Nippu Jiii's editor and others, it
is practically denied by the official
dispatch, though details are still lack
ing. In any case it viii be rash to
form any off hand opinion on the
strength of press advices which are
obviously biased. And if there should
be felt any anxiety in any quarter as
to whether the Imperial government
would interfere in the matter one way
or another, we should regard it as
wholly unnecessary. The Japanese in
Hawaii are under the protection of the
Hawaiian government or call it Amer
lean government to be more particular,
and we should have more than mere
newspaper dispatches and expostula-
lions from interested parties before
our government is moved to any sort
Of action. In the circumstances it IS
most desirable that the public in Amer
lea and at home be not misled by one
sided sensational reports

SITE FOR VOLCANO
STATION IS CHOSEN

The special committee of the Cham
Der of Commerce appointed some time
ago to get subscriptions for the estab-
lishment of the scientific observatory
at Kilauea volcano, which required a
guarantee of $4,000 for five years, has
already received subscriptions to the
amount of $3450, leaving $3.50 per
annum to be provided for.
Professor Jaggar, who represents the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology,
left for Boston yesterday per the Mon
golia, to complete arrangements with
the Institute for the establishment of
the observatory. Meanwhile, his asso-
ciate in the department of geology,
Professor Reginald DAILY, is at the vol
cano, and viii remain there during the
summer studying the situation not only
at Kilauea, but on the mountains of
Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa and the
heights of Hualalai, with view to flu
ture work.
Professor Jaggar plans, if the guar
antee fund Of $4,000 is raised, to return
here in October, accompanied by the
specialists who win remain permanently
in charge of the station. Both Profes-
sors Jaggar and DAILY are enthusiastic
at the prospect of an early establish
ment of the plant and are gratifed at
the liberal support promised by the eiti-
zens of Honolulu in behalf of their
plans.
Professor Jaggar has proposed to the
Volcano House Company that it lease
to the Institute for quarters for the
4r.,-, cy+a e 10
or, preferably, erect a new one, which
win be occupied by the staff for year
Or two until they know better where
they want the permanent quarters to
be erected. The Volcano House Com
pany is favorably impressed with the
proposition.

.DRYDOcK CONTRACTOR
CAME LAST NIGHT

S. G.. Kinds, president of the San
Francisco Bridge Company, which was
awarded the Pearl Harbor drydock con-
tract by the Federal government for
about $1,700,00O, arrived from San
Francisco last evening on the Hilonian.
He was met by Walter Dillingham; and
George Denison of the Hawaiian Dredg-
ing company, which is now engaged in
dredging the channel to Pearl Harbor
The latter company is quite likely to
have share in the excavation of the
drydock basin.
Mr.. Kinds stated last evening that
he brought no equipment with him, but
came down to inspect the site and as
certain the utilities required to start
the great work.
The major part of the dock vii be
exeavated from the shore in, but a por-
ton of the dock will be built out in
the harbor. Whether there will be drv-
land excavating or all-water dredging.
with dredgers working in from the har-
Dor, is not yet decided. The rock and
coral strata at the site, according to
the borings, comprises large tree coral
and is friable. The dredging company
in its work on the Queen Emma point
has so far encountered little extremely
hard substance, and little blasting has
had to be done.
The draught of the dock over stills

throughout in the walls and floor, and
that this work may be expedited sew
eral hundred men may be employed on
the entire work. Rock for aiding in
the concrete work is to be obtained
here. the government authorities hav-
ing had official reports that the mate
rial here is satisfactory.

FRESH PINES IN FROM
WAHIAWA AND PUPUKEA

The machinery of the big pineapple
eannery at Iwilei was turned over on
Tuesday, and the canning season will
be in full blast from now on, for the
fruit is ripening fast.
Twenty ears of fresh pines arrived
over the o. R. & L. read that day, in
Guiding twelve cars from the new pine
apple district of Pupukea, the balance
coming from Wahiawa, the pioneer dis

JULIAN HAYNE PUTS UP
NOVEL DEFENSE IN NEW YORK
Former Honolulan Says lie Did Right to Swindle
Managerial a Ruse of War;
Plan Of Conquest.

NEW YORK, June 16.-A novel de-
tense to a grand larceny charge is to
be made by James D. Hallen, 9th
erwise known as Julian Hayne, now on
trial for swindling the Nicaraguan gov
eminent out of 1000 Hallen admits
getting the money, but says it was to
have been spent in securing arms to
be used against the Republic of Guate-
mala and that he acted as the secret
agent of Guatemala in preventing the
use of the money for that purpose.
In his travels Hallen learned great
deal about Central and South American
republics and people and his inside ms
formation brought to his attention in
1907 that Raymond Echesarette, New
York agent for the Nicaragua govern
ment, was trying to buy arms and car
tridges in New York. Hallen met
Echesarette and assured him that he
was just the man to get cheaply the
100000 Remington cartridges wanted.
He got the contract for $1l 900 and
promised to deliver the goods at Pier
%, North River.
Filled Them With Copper.
After getting the contract Hallen had
100 boxes made in exact imitation of
the kind in which cartridges are
shipped. and filed them with copper
dross, used as ballast Hallen collected
the 81 900 on the bills of lading, and
then took another trip to South Amer
lea to look things over.
When the boxes reached Bluefelds
they were opened with much ceremony
eral at New Orleans, who had been APP
pointed the head of special committee
to examine them. When the commit
fee had gone through the last box and
found only copper dross there was
much Spanish profanity. The consul
general from New Orleans has come on
to tell what he found, and Hallen, who
was arrested on his return from his
travels, is charged with grand larceny
in the second degree as a second Of
Tense.
Fooled Zelaya's. Plot.
John T. Mcintyre, Hallen's counsel.
told the court today that he intended
to prove that Echesarette and others
were in COLLISION with President Ze-
lava and others to secure IN the
United States materials with which to
begin war which was intended TO
make Zeaya the head of all the Cen
tral American States.
Zeaya. Mcintyre said, had planned
to secure by force of arms the election
of presidents in the Central American
republics who would resign at his word
and leave him president of the United
States Of Central America. Guatemala
had learned of this plan Mcintyre
says. and had appointed Hallen its
tcrat agent to see that the munitions
purchased in the United States by
Eehesarette never reached Nicaragua.

Measures of the Government
to Appease the Appe-
tites for Farms.
A Wonderful Exhibit by the Depart.
ments of the interior and Aericul.
tEre at the United States Land and
Irrigation Exposition at Chicago
from Nov. goth to Dec. 4th.

A debt of gratitude and vote Of
thanks will be due the Chicago Trib.
une from the American people when
the United States Land and Irrigation
Exposition Is over. The inception of
this great undertaking was entirely
due to the Tribune. The idea orig.
mated with the Tribune, and the en-.
tire responsibility, financial and other.
wise, was assumed by the Tribune.
So timely did this enterprise seem
to be that all the great irrigation and
other land interests were quickly won
and promised their participation and
support. The United States govern
ment has thought so we'll of the Trib-
une's idea that it will be the largest
exhibitor.
All the exhibits of the exposition
will deal with the idea of establish.
ing American homes upon small farms.
All the features of this unique and
wonderful show will be pivoted around
the idea that the best place for an
American family is in a home of its
own, and that home a tract of land
large enough to maintain the family Ill
any emergency. With our better
knowledge of plants and soils and cul-
tural practices few acres have an as
tonishing capacity for production.
Valuable instruction along these lines
will be found by the visitor at the
coming exposition. Nov. 20 to Dec. 4,
at Chicago's great Coliseum.
Besides the features specially pre-
pared and brought from Washing
ton, the best features of the govern
ment's exhibit at Seattle will be in
stalled at Chicago. The reclamation
service. the geological survey, the
land office. the forestry service, the
patent office, the bureau of animal in.
dustry. the bureau Of plant industry,
the weather bureau, the office of ex.
pertinent stations and the bureau Of
entomology will all participate in a
manner worthy of the government Of
eighty million people.
The value of the government ex.
hibits to the visitor will lie in the fact
that they are new and represent the
latest thought and development in the
various lines which they represent
All will relate to irrigation, drainage,
dry farming and to the industries of
the farm, especially of the new farms
which are being reclaimed from what
has long been regarded as waste land.

as at the present time. Scientists, fl
Dancfers and men of all walks of life
are turning TO the land as the source of
all our supplies and as affording
means of outdoor life and health The
great exposition in Chicago, under the
auspices of the Chicago Tribune, will
afford the opportunity for great gath
ering of the forces that are doing so
much for the irrigation and recIama-
ton of what formerly were considered
our waste lands

a very fitting one for such an occasion.
This will be the largest reproduction of
