Will. FIGHT It
To LAST
DITCH
McCandIess Opposed to Organic
Act Amendments as
Proposed.
SAYS HIS FRIENDS WILL ALIGN
Democratic Candidate Cannot Be
Here to Lead Opposition
to the Bill.
SAYS HIS FRIENDS WILL ALIGI

If the opinion of Lincoln L. McCand-
less is that of majority the proposed
amendments to the Organic Act, in
so far as they refer to the land laws
of the Territory, will not be adopted
by the legislature at the coming special
session. Mr.. MeCandless has taken a
deep interest in lands here; in fact he
has been referred to as the owner of
forty miles of seafront on this island
but this statement is not near enough
10 the truth, he says, to be ibelous
81 believe that Section 70 of the
Organic Act should be appealed" Mr..
McCandless said yesterday. 1T is the
one which deals with the administra
ton of our land laws. After that [
would like to see our legislature pass
an entirely new law. 1t should be
law on American lines, lines which
obtain in the United States where
man has right to SO much of the
public domain under conditions less
difficult to live up to than those in
operation here.
Mccarthy Bill Promised.
"Senator Mccarthy drew up a bill
for the last session of the legislature,
but it failed to go through. 1t pro-
vided for a limited area, because we
all realize that it will be impossible
to obtain quarter section of land
here where the arabic land is limited
The bill, however, contains the Thought
which dominates the treatment of
American citizens ON the mainland. It
has the American principles scattered
through it and that is what we should
have here. This bill gives citizen
the right, and / want you to en-
sphasize that word Right, to take up
land. If you know the present law
you will remember the provision which
says land may be acquired through
the land commissioner, by and with
the consent of the Governor.
"The bill which Senator Mccarthy
has prepared, the one that was pre-
scented at the last session and which
believe will be again presented, gives
the right to acquire land. It makes it
mandatory for the government to give
him land conditionally.
Governor Too Powerful.
"Here we have it, John Doe goes
to the commissioner of lands and APP
plies for a piece of land. Barkis is
wlllin and he goes over to the Gov

out reason, says Mo- That word is
final and no matter how badly the
man wants the land, no matter how
lust his request, the settlement is in
the hand of one man. I contend that
this prevents what every official visit
! ing Hawaii has favored: The settle
ment of the undeveloped lands by citi-
zens This new bill provides for a
commission. And who appoints the
commission? The Governor; and if,
after the senate has confirmed the APP
pointments and adjourned, there should
be difference of opinion and the en-
tire commission resigns the Governor

CALL
Former Governor of Philippines
Died Yesterday at
Rochester.

Served With Distinction in Civil
War and Against the
FiIlpinoS.
(By Associated Press.)

ROCHESTER,, New York. October
2l.-General Elwell s. Otis, former gov
ernor of the Philippines and commander
of the American troops there, died at
his home here yesterday.
General Otis had charge of the sue
eessful campaign against the Filipino
insurgents directly after the war with
Spain. 1t was in this campaign that
he showed his military genius to the
best effect and his name became a
household word throughout the states
after the taking of Iloilo.
When the civil war broke out he
was practising law, after having gradu
ated at Rochester University and TAX
ing postgraduate course at the Har-
ward law school. He joined the I40th
New York Infantry on September Is,
1862, and was made Lieutenant Colonel
on December %, 1863.
He took part in many of the i'm
portant battles of the civil war and
was promoted to the rank of colonel
for conspicuous bravery and exhibition
of military skill at the battle of Spott-
sylvania.
After the war he was appointed
lieutenant colonel of the 22nd T.. s.
Infantry and was transferred to the
Twentieth Infantry in 1869. He de
parted for the Philippines July Is. 1898.
to relieve General Merritt as command
ing general of the u. s. Philippine
forces and governor of the islands
He conducted operations against the
insurgents and acted as governor of

FROZEN PROBLEM
FRONTS DUNCAN
If Ice Cream Is Ice Cream, 1t
Isn't Ice Cream as Ice
Cream Ought to Be.
W hat is ice cream?

mat Is ice cream
If the summer girl, Johnny, and 9th
er species supposed to be addicted to
the palatable frozen dainty will tell the
official chemist, r. A. Duncan, what it is
they have really been eating, he will be
very much obliged.
In view of the fact that outrageous
compounds have been foisted on the
public under the disguise of ice cream.
Duncan has naturally been led to con
slider steps to make the manufacturers
come through with the real stuff. At
this point he comes up against the
question, IEWhat is it?' and the re-
suit of his deliberations on the sub
ject will probably inform the summer
girl and Johnny that they haven t
really been eating ice cream all these
years, but ice milk.
Analysis of the ice cream from local
manufacturers has resulted in finding
twenty-five per cent. of milk and but
from one to four per cent. of butter
fat. Uncle Sam, while not claiming
to be an expert on the matter at his
age, gives it as his opinion that ice
cream should be fourteen per cent. but
ter fat. To find out whether Uncle
Sam is right, Duncan will take up one
of the local manufacturers and prose
cute him in the supreme court, just to
lind out what ice cream ought TO be.
And he will also find whether ice cream.
being ice cream, is really ice cream at
all. Manufacturers claim that an ex-
cess of cream, say TO the percentage
that Uncle Sam likes. viii make the
product something awful. Mabel.
And another pleasing thought that
comes to mind upon the announcement
of Duncan to take steps in this matter,
is that Honolulu s cream is the finest
in the world. That is a matter of
actual figures. for it contains from
forty to fifty per cent. in fats while
on the mainland it doesn t run over
twenty per cent.

HIS HONOR PAYS
UP SEWER RATES
To AVOID ARREST

The opinions of those interested in

supervisors meeting, and printed in

The interview with Secretary Riven-
burgh. the Mayors right-hand man,
printed yesterday afternoon, stating
that His Honor didn't owe any sewer
rates, has a small hole punetured in it
by a statement made by Marston
Campbell.
Campbell. as head of the land de-
partment, should know the delinquents
in rates, although the Mayor speaking
through his secretary; evidently thought
otherwise. But the Mayor, speaking
through himself. appreciates the fact
that Campbell is liable to be correct.
The head of the land department was
Just leaving his office yesterday after
noon, with an afternoon paper in his
hand and a grin on his face, reading
the statement of Supervisor Logan,
and the more he read the wider the
grin became.
He was summarily challenged as to
the status of his proposed suit against
tie Mayor, and the grin cracked.
"Nothing doing he said; ''the
Mayor came around today to arrange
about paying his sewer rates.

Customs Employe Tells How Importers
Have Been Cheating.
lRY Associated Preasl

NEW YORK, October 2l.-More Gus
toms scandal was disclosed here -yester-
day as the result of the Investigations
that have been going on since it was
discovered that the sugar trust had
cheated the government out of large
amount of duties. The proof of further
cheating was given yesterday when a
weigher in the local customhouse told
how for the past eight years the gov
eminent had been losing money through
fraudulent weighing in the interests of
importers.
The disclosures affect a number of
prominent importers and it is expected
that arrests and prosecutions will begin

MAUI WINE
IS D0PED UP
Local Product Is Adulterated to
Add to the Retailers
Profits.

The Maui Winery Company, of Kappa
kalua, through some of its directors,
complains that some of the product put
on the Honolulu market and sold as
theirs is substitute, their wine being
taken as a base from which to make
something that viii give greater prof
its. The Maui winners object very
seriously to anything being put on the
market as Maui wine which has been
doctored up with dago red, logwood
and other adulterants.
There has been complaint that the
Kapakalua wine is as potent and as
fiery as the cheapest imported fire wa
ter, the blame being heretofore put on
the manufacturers, who were said to
be marketing their wine before 1t had
aged enough to creep. The Maui peo-
pie believe that this blame results from
mixtures credited TO them and is wholly
undeserved.

Closer rivalry in carrying freights
during the next sugar carrying season
for 1910 may solve all problems of
cargo transportation. Sugar for trans
portation to the mainland will be com
ing out of the mills next month. Some
of the Alexander & Baldwin planta
tions on Maui--the Hawaiian CONNER
cial and Maui Agricultural estates
will commence grinding about the
middle of November Wailuku may
start grinding about November 20.
Kekaha plantation, on Kauai, is al
ready starting on it's 1910 crop. and
the Oahu plantations will not get
started until after the first week in De-
cember, but all mills will be grinding
about the first of the year and will
work steadily until September. At the
end of that month, when most of the
season s crop will have been sent away
from the Islands. the entire crop will
probably amount to between 445,00O
and 100000 tons. This will be an in
crease over the season just ended OF
about $4,000 tons.

CORY MURDER
IN MANOA
VALLEY
Attempt at Suicide Follows a
Bloody Crime, but May
Not Be Successful.
VICTIM is JAPANESE WOMAN
A Servant of Judge Lindsay Is
Slain Under mysterious
Circumstances.

One of the bloodiest murders in the
Npolice annals of Honolulu occurred
about eight O'Clock last night at the
residence of Judge Lindsay in College
Hills, the murder being almost i'm
mediately followed by an attempt at
suicide which may prove to have been
successful. The murderer, who at
tempted to complete the bloody tragedy
bv taking his own life, was still alive
last night when the patrol wagon ar
rived. and was taken to the hospital,
where an attempt will be made to
save his life so he can be hanged.
The murderer victim was pretty
little japanese girl named Rio, the
house servant of Judge Lindsay's
family. The murderer had not been
positively identified last night, though
it was thought that he is Tanaka, a
japanese who works as a house servant
for H. E. Hendricks.
Room a Shamble.
The room in which the murder took
place was a shamble when the officers
burst open the door. The woman lay
on her face on the floor, in pool of
blood, stone dead, her head nearly
severed from her body. Alongside her

aud apparently in the last agonies. The
only sign of life ne exhibited was a
spasmodic movement of his chest as he
tried to draw his breath through his
severed windpipe. There was blood
verywhere-except, strangely enough,
on the untouched white bed.
The most gruesome feature of the
tragedy was the way the man attempted
to take his own life. Judge Lindsay
stood outside the door of the servant S
quarters, where the woman was already
lying dead, and heard the man delib-
erately saving away at his throat with
the knife which had already turned the
pretty little Japanese woman into a
mass of dead clay.

Analysis Gives Proof.

R. A. Duncan has finished making
an analysis of the alleged imitation
whisky and the result will be given
to the Oahu Board OF Liquor Com
missioners at its next meeting. The
whisky has been found to be the most
genuine kind of imitation and it now
rests with the board as to whether the
seller will be prosecuted or just scared
enough to refrain from selling it again
as the pure article.
In ease prosecution is decided upon,
the matter viii probably have TO be
thrashed out thoroughly in the attor-
nev-general's Office for there are two
distinct charges under which the man
might be arraigned. One is "mis-
branding. penalty for which is pro
yided by the Federal laws and the
other is adulteration, definition of
and penalty for which, is on the statute
books of the Territory.
