A great deal of talk is going the
ber Company, located in Mexico, Of
which Brainard H. Smith has been the
local agent f. T. P. Waterhouse re-
turned by the Korea after making an
investigation of the plantations for a
hui of local capitalists who are deep
ly interested, but no information in
regard to the nature of the report maze
can be obtained. 1t was proposed that
the local stockholders should share on
the expense of the trip, but they reufs-
ed and the expense was handled by a
hui composed of d. P. r. Isenberg,
the Wilcox family of Kauai, and sew
eral others. They will hold a meeting
within the next week at which Mr..
Waterhouse will hand in a written re-
port.
George r. Ewart, of this city, has
made four trips to Mexico to look into
the rubber proposition and has recent
ly returned from the last of these. His
report, which is extremely favorable, is
" AIo'SS VI SlIC0llhS S0hel dhIeS, lloll
which no satisfaction can be obtained
in regard to finances. He states that
the rubber trees are doing well and
that he thinks in time, Hidalgo will
be very valuable property"
The Hidalgo stock is said to be
controlled in this territory, where Mr..
Smith has done land Office business
in the sale of stock 1t is understood
that over $5OO,OOO has been invested
locally. D. P. R. Isenberg is said to
own about $4,000 worth of the stock
while the Wilcox shares also represent
about this value. The other holders
are scattered throughout the islands.

TREE HURTING LAW

COURT DECIDES AGAINST HUMPHREYS
OF ACTUAL DAMAGES FOR I'M TO AN ORNAMENTAL TREE
PREPARING OF
PRINCE DAvDS FUNERAL.

BY a unanimous decision of the Su-
preme Court, the opinion being JUS
tice Wilder's, the claim of Mrs. Marie
X. Humphreys against Manuel Melo
and Thomas p. Cummins, la0orer and
raod supervisor respectively under the
County of Oahu. for damages on ac-
count of the cutting up OF a shade
and ornamental tree growing on the
sidewalk in front of her lot is dis
allowed.
The law allows only S. for each tree
injured in such case, but the plain
tiff contended through A. S. Hum
phreys, her attorney, that the sta
tute does not attempt to limit the
amount of damages which may be re-
covered to S. without reference to the
damages actually sustained" and that
if it does it is unconstitutional"
Circuit Judge Robinson, trying the
case without jury, excluded all evil
dence tending to show the actual
damages
The syllabus of opinion gives the
law of the case thus

the contrary, land taken in 1902 and
thereafter used as public highway is

Especial Wireless to The Starr

HlLO, May 29.-Delegates from the
Japanese laborers of various sugar
plantations of this island met in this
city on Thursday for consultation in re-
gard to higher wages. They have sent
letter to w. o. Smith las secretary
of the Hawaiian Planters Association.
asking that the wages of plantation
laborers be increased to one dollar a
day. No threats of going out on
strike were made and the request for
an increase was courteously worded.

ance until the January, 1870 term,
which was set tor argument on Tues
day next at 9 a. m.
The motion for continuance is on
the ground that by reason of public
excitement now existing in the Terri
tory OF Hawaii in the matter of the
strike of the Japanese laborers for
higher wages, which excitement is op-
eratng to the prejudice of the defen-
dant, defendant cannot at the pre-
sent time have a fair and impartial

1900 sTRIKEBREAKERs.

Fifteen hundred strikebrealers went
down the line this morning six hundred
for Aiea, six hundred for Eva and three
hundred for Waipahu.
AT Aiea some of the Chinese workers
have taken up quarters in the premises
vacated by the striking Japanese who
were ordered off the plantation. These
quarters may later be used for some
of the Hawaiian strikebreakers. To-
day more men went to work at Eva
than have previously been sent.
HOTEL MEN WORRY
Some of the proprietors of Japanese
hotels are worrying over the housing
of strikers, declaring that since some
of the strikers have money, they should
pay for their lodging; though they still
appear willing, for a while at least, to
accommodate large number of strill-
ers free of charge.

DOPE DEN
TOUCHED
PROPRIETOR'S PANTS PILFERED
OF &C. 65O-CARELESS MOTHER
AND ABUSED CHILD.

Jong Kong Korean, called at the
room of a Chinese and asked him to
give him some opium. The latter
brought him into police court on a
charge of taking $3.50 out Of his trou-
sers' pocket.
"Wero there no. opium fiends smok-
ing in your room, and may not one
of them nave taken your money!
is the defense of the Korean.
Judge Andrade has taken the case
under advisement for few days.
The case, outside of the charge of
theft, seems to reveal the existence
OF an opium den where Koreans are
wont to satisfy their craving for the
drug. Hawaiian woman who occu-
pies a room adjoining thar of the
Chinese cleverly lodged testifyng as
TO whether or not she was in the habit
of seeing Chinese and Korean opium
smokers frequenting the room of the
Chinese. She has the appearance OF
occasionally sampling the poppy her
self.

Kwong Chong, Chinese storekeeper,
was this morning in police court
found guilty of roughly handling the
tiny son of Gus Cordes and was tined

faulty complaint was filed yesterday
and in regard to whose case Judge
Andrade took occasion to roast the
too frequent carelessness of the draf-
ter of complaints in the police sta
ton Today tie complaint was cor
| rectly drawn with the result above
noted. Attorney Lightfoot, for the
defense, noted an appeal.

A number of delegates from Hawaii
sugar plantation laborers came to town
this morning in the S. S. Mauna Kea,
half a dozen of these delegates being
priests. They come to confer with
the headquarters men of the strike
campaign for higher wages and, by way
of encouragement to the strikers, they
brought word of the collection of nine
thousand dollars on Hawaii toward the
subsistence fund.
Whether or not the japanese laborers
on the other islands are to go out on
strike is to be decided here, but in
view of demands having gone to the
Planters Association, a reply thereto
will be awaited before any orders are
issued.
Maxine still insists that prospects
are rosy for the strikers and that they
will win out.
SHERIFF TO KAHUKU.
Sheriff Jarrett will go TO Kahuku to
be present at the paying off of the
striking laborers of that plantation.
There are already ten special police
there, in case of trouble, though no
violence is expected.
The orders are for the Japanese to
leave the plantation as 500 mas they
have been paid Off 1t is thought that
they will leave without any trouble.

reads very much like a get-right-quick
scheme. For an investment of $4OO the
company is supposed to buy for the
stockholder two acres of land, one al
ready planted in coffee and the other
of rubber land. From the time of the
purchase six per cent interest is paid
on the Investment This is said to
be possible through the fact that the
coffee is already bearing. Since but
5000 of the money invested goes into
coffee land, that portion paying the in
terest on $4O0, really the coffee must
pay twelve per cent Then it is stated
that Brainard Smith received twenty
per cent of the original investment as
his commission for the sale of stock.
This would MAKE the coffee pay some
thing like twenty per cent on the in
vestment. In addition to this the
coffee is supposed to pay enough out
side of this to develop the rubber land,
which naturally is an expensive propo-
sition and takes a good deal of money.
If this plan works out right it would
mean that the coffee land purchased
must pay about fifty per cent on the in
vestment. Otherwise the interest be-
ing paid must be coming back out of
the principal which was invested, on
the Tontine idea.
Bishop and Company, who are the
financial agents in this city, receiving
money from the local stockholders,
some of whom are buying on the install
ment plan, state that they are still
receiving money and know nothing
against the concern whatever Rumors
have been circulated to the effect that
Bishop e Co. has refused to accept
further money from local people, but
they deny this absolutely.

Mr.. Krause, of the Experiment Sta
tion visited Palama about two weeks
ago and found the rice there in fine
condition. A few days ago he paid a
second visit and found to his great sur
prise that one field of about twenty
acres of rice had been practically des-
troyed. No information in regard to
the trouble had been sent to the Ex-
pertinent station.
The cut worm has also been attack
ing the cotton, but the planters were
prepared for its coming and little or no
damage resulted. The cut worm is not
a permanent pest but one which comes
at varied intervals. 1t is very bad
this year, but may not appear in num-
bers again for ten years.
Another pest which has been causing
trouble here this year is what is known
as the leaf roller 1t is a green caterpil-
lar with TWO black stripes along his
head. He attacks guavas, alligator
pears and oranges, and has been do
ing a great deal of damage in this

BRYAN SEES DEMOCRATIC
HOUSE IN YEAR 1910
Ispecial to The sentinel. ]

New York. Feb. Widespread
Interest among politicians has been
aroused by an article by William
Jennings Bryan in the March NUM-
ber of Munsey's Magazine, entitled
The Future of the Democratic
Party" Mr. Bryan in his paper care
fully analyses the political conditions
of the present day, discussing the
policies of his party at length.
1T is more than possible-it is
even probable" he declares, that
the House of Representatives to be
elected in 1910 will be democratic.
Sounding a word of warning to
President-elect Taft, he continues
The president-elect cannot pos
sibly satisfy the expectations of both
elements of the Republican House
controlled by what Mr. Roosevelt
calls reactlonaries. how can he escape
conflict either with the republican
leaders or with the republican voters
of the Mississippi valley?'
In discussing the tendency toward
reform legislation, Mr.. Bryan says
THE democratic party is in sym
pathy with the growing demand for
remedial legislation; it is therefore
rowing with the tide, for the tide is
onward Democrats, recognizing the
responsibility OIL tnelr posltlon' anu
strong in the confidence they feel in
the righteousness of their cause, are
prepared to wage a winning fight
against an opposition already panic
stricken"
Influential democrats declare Mr..
Bryan's article to be the, most i'm
portant political paper printed since
the election of BIr Taft last Novem-
ber.
