The conspiracy trial in Judge De
Bolt $ court was necessarily suspended
yesterday until next Monday on account
of the serious indisposition of one OF
the Jurors. Juror Yarick, it was dis
covered when the Court was called to
order. had been stricken with temporary
paralysis of the legs which made 1t
absolutely impossible for him to walk
to the judiciary building. This difficult
ty might have been obviated by the
use of hack or automobile, had 1t not
been learned that the trouble affected
not only the jurors legs but also ms
brain, and that it had thickened his
tongue. He was hardly in receptive
condition, and it appeared highly I'M
probable that he would be able to digest
any evidence that might be presented
The Juror was found early yesterday
morning at place called The Pacific,
on the corner of King and Nuuanu
streets. Serious alarm was felt at first
over his condition, when it was seen
that he not only was not able to walk,

GROUND BROKEN
FOR CONDUIT
Telephone Wires Will Be Put
Under Streets at
Once.

The first step toward placing the
telephone wires in the downtown dis
trict underground was taken yesterday,
when a gang of men began breaking
ground on Merchant street in front of
the postoffice. Today other gangs will
be put to work, and by the first of the
week the excavating will be well under
way.
All of the wires in the business dis
trict will be placed in underground
eonduits, just as fast as the excavating
can be done and the necessary piping
can be laid. AS fast as the wires are
placed underground, the poles will be
taken down.
The officials of the Mutual Telephone
Company believe that the service viii
be greatly improved by the placing of
the wires under ground. Trouble from
outside interference will be obviated,
and the thousand and one little trou-
bles that now impair the service will
cease to exist.
The work of improving the compae
ny's distributing service is progressing
rapidly. Engineer Hummell, who has
charge of the construction work, has
established himself in an office in the
building at Alakea and Merchant
streets, and is taking advantage of
every hour of daylight for construction
work.

OFF BY KOREA
No Representative of the Board
OF immigration Will
Accompany Him.

A. w. Perelstrous, who will collect
Russian immigrants for the Board of
immigration, win sail for the Orient
on the Korea. No representative of the
board will accompany him, though some
one may go on a little later.
The idea of the board in sending a
man to Hardin is to make sure that
only desirable colonists are sent here.
The special representative will not be
in any way a rustler of emigrants and
he will simply attend to the inspection
and formalities for those who may de-
eide that they want to try Hawaii as
place of abode.
Secretary Atkinson of the Board of
immigration, who has been asked to
make the Hardin trip, has not as yet
reached a decision in regard to the mat
ter. But under no circumstances will
he go with Perelstrous.

Mr.. F. F. Fyler, bookkeeper for the

hot days when the mercury perched up

FIVE: HUNDRED
RETURN To
WAIPAHU
Strikers Are Rapidly
Going Back to the
Plantations.

Five hundred Japanese, laborers, who
deserted Waipahu plantation when the
strike was declared, left at 2 O'Clock
yesterday afternoon for the plantation,
with the announcement that they were
going back to work This is the largest
individual concerted movement that has
followed the calling off of the strike.
All day Thursday, and again yester-
day morning, the Waipahu laborers as
sembled in small lotteries and discussed
the ACCESSIBILITY of returning to work.
Some few of the more radical hotheads
tried to induce the others to hold out,
while some of those who were doubtful
about finding their places open for them
insisted that the cause was not lost.
But the majority seemed to be very
anxious to get back to the canefelds.
Wednesday and Thursday, few men
drifted down to Waipahu, though few
presented themselves at the plantation
Office. They mixed with the men in
the fields, however, and left the i'm
preston that they would soon be on
hand themselves. It is believed that
the men now in camp at Waipahu, and
those who went down yesterday after
noon, win report Monday morning for
work

LIQUOR COMMISSIONERS
TURN ROBERTS DOWN

There will be no saloon in the build
ing on Alakea street formerly occupied
by the Kentucky saloon. This was de-
cided by the Board of Liquor License
Commissioners at a meeting held yes
terdav afternoon in the throne room,
when the Board refused to grant Ii
cense to Jack Roberts for a saloon to
be located on the Alakea street prem
Uses.
The policy of the Board is to group
the saloons in one locality so far as
possible, and applications for licenses
for places outside the BOwery are
frowned upon The Kentucky has been
run as saloon for long time, but the
Board has taken advantage of the fact
that the proprietor of that place has
moved uptown, to close up the place
definitely.
Attorney E. A. Douthitt appeared be-
fore the Board to urge the granting of
the application of Mr.. Roberts, but all
his eIoquence was wasted on the desert
air. The Commissioners were obdurate.
Two applications were received, both
purporting to come from church soeie-
ties, for permits to sell liquor on Sun
day, August Is, at the festival of Our
Lady of the Mountain; to be held a
short distance above the Kalihi Catholic
church Both were turned down, the
Board taking the ground that 1t had
refused all other applications for Ii
censes to sell on Sunday and could not
consistently grant any in this instance.

Among the steerage passengers on
the Siberia, when the big Pacific Mail
liner pokes her head out of the harbor
this evening on her way to the main
land, will be the nineteen Portuguese
immigrants who arrived here couple
of weeks ago, the last effort of Special
Agent Trenor at increasing the popula-
ton of Hawaii. That is, the whole
twenty-one viii GO if two now missing
can be rounded up.
When the Aorangi made fast along
side the wharf, two of the immigrants
made quick getaway, evidently fear
ing that they might have to work
should the Board of immigration get
hold of them. These men have not
been seen since, and are supposed to
have found friends here.
The absence of the two men gave rise
to little mix-up yesterday afternoon,
when two Portuguese, who have been
residents of the Islands for several
years, thought that they would like to
take a little trip to the mainland at
he expense of the Board Of Immigra-
ton.
Assistant Secretary Savidge of the
board, and F. S. Klebahn of Hackfeld
G. Co. were in the office of the Board
Of immigration. making out the tickets.
All of the last bunch of immigrants,
with the exception of the two who dis
appeared, were present to receive their
transportation orders.
Suddenly the door opened and two
strange Portuguese entered and lined
themselves up behind the others. Saw
idge looked up inquiringly, but the
men kept mum so he concluded that
they had come in simply to see the
others get their tickets. AS fast as
the tickets were made out, Klebahn
held out pen to each prospective pas
senger, instructing him to sign.
When about half of the waiting i'm
migrants had been attended to, one of
the recent arrivals stepped forward and
took up the pen

MYRIAD Of LITTLE
FISH ENTER HARbOR

Thousands of ahahalalu came into
the harbor Thursday night, and all day
yesterday fishermen lined the wharves.
One man landed more than two hundred
in an hour and a half, and every man
and boy who could find time, and hook
and line, rushed to the waterfront to
take chance.
The ahahalalu comes into the harbor
once each year and usually remains here
for about a week. Not for several
years has the fnny one made his appear
ance in such numbers, however, and the
fisherman is eorrespondingly gleeful.
The ahahalalu, when he grows up, be-
comes the akuli and is a fish closely
resembling the mackerel. After he
reaches maturity he is seldom seen with
in the confines of the inner harbor.
