DIFFICULTIES
ARE ADJUSTED
Hamakua Ditch Company and
Honokaa Settle Their
Differences.
MEANS RAPID DEVELOPMENT
Question of Water Distribution
Is Settled in Series of
Conferences.
MEANS RAPID DEVELOPMENT

The difficulties that have for some
time existed between the Honokaa
Sugar Company and the Hamakua
Ditch Company have been SATISFACTORY
ly adjusted at a series of conferences
held here the past few days. All diff
ferences as TO the control and use of
the waters of the Hamakua ditch have
been settled, and the result will not
| only be peace beween the two corpora
tions, but the probable rapid compile
tion of the loweraditch running through
the plantations affected.
Frank Thompson, attorney for the
ditch company, outlined yesterday the
basis of the agreement. All the water,
he says, is to be measured at the points
of distribution. The Hamakua Ditch
Company is to have control of all the
water in the ditch, part of which win
be distributed to Paauhau and the rest
to Honokaa sugar mill. There are
about 15,500,000 gallons to be divided.
The four reservoirs, which have been
the bone of contention between the
two companies, are taken over by the
plantations at an annual rental, the
amount of which. however, is not made
public. The plantations are to have an
option to purchase all surplus water.
AS result of the negotiations, the
upper ditch is to be cemented and will
probably be enlarged to almost double
its present capacity. This will insure
all the water needed by the Pacific
sugar mill. Honokaa and Paauhau for
fuming on the upper levels.
The settlement is mutually satisfac-
tory, and not only reestablishes friend
ly relations between the two companies,
but iustues tire more speedy completion
of the lower ditch.
1t was feared for time that the
obstacles in the way of a friendly ad
justment of the difficulties were insu-
perabIe, but patience and a careful
working out of a plan of arbitration
were successful in keeping the trouble
out of the courts.

Manuel Correa, alias Manuel Ferreira,
was arrested yesterday and booked at
the police station on the charge of sell
ing COW. Not that it is generally
considered a violation of the law to
sell a COW. but it happened in this case
that the cow did not belong to Manuel.
1t was the property of 5. N. Damon,
and Mr.. Damon had not authorized
Manuel to sell it. In fact, he did not
know that Manuel had the COW until
he happened to learn that the Por-
tuguese was offering the cow for sale
at the slaughterhouse in Kalihi.
That was several days ago. but
Manuel Correa or Ferreira. whichever
his right name IS got wind of the fact
that his deal in livestock was the sub
ject of police investigation, and he took
TO the tall timber and vas not found
until Friday night. He was promptly
locked up.

STILL THREATENS TO KILL

The mirage of vengeance against the
man who had defeated the lawless pur-
pose of an alien organization yester-
day dissolved before the gaze of To-
miki6hi Mori and. instead. he sees
prison walls, without the glory about
them that his oriental imagination
would place there had the mirage held
good and his murderous intent been
satisfied and satiated The assailant
of Sometaro Sheba will spend the next
five years of his life. if not more, at
hard labor as a convict of the Territory
and a branded criminal against the
laws he so disregarded And, besides
this, he must pay for his deed the
fine of $1,000, not so much for the cash
in the neck of his victim, placed there
by his knife, but for the hair breadth
of flesh which that knife missed.
Yesterday morning at halfpast eight,
dapper and smiling as ever, the con-
victed criminal rose before Judge De
Bolt and heard the sentence that pro-
vides for the next years of his life.
Under the indeterminate sentence act,
Mort may spend ten years in prison
this is the maximum penalty he might
pay-but the court yesterday SEN
fenced him to the limit of its powers.
At the expiration of the FIVE years he
must pay the $1,000 or serve another
year, and on his behavior only rests
his hope of release before ten years
have expired The board of prison

The day following the return of the

to have been substantiated enough to
deprive him of his temporary freedom.
As result of these statements,
