WOMAN SHOOTS TO
SUMMON POLICE
Shot Fired in Hotel Results in
the Arrest of Notorious
BunkO Man

Four shots fired in rapid succession
about 2 o'clock yesterday morning at
tracted the attention of Policeman
Percy L. Smith to the Hotel st. Ann,
Turk and Taylor streets. Smith ran
to the hotel and on going upstairs saw
a light in room occupied by a man
calling himself Charles Bates. He en-
tered the room and found Mrs. Estella
Brown, young matron living at 1854
Ellis street, standing in the center Of
the room with a revolver in her hand.
Mrs. Brown told Smith she had fired
the shots out of the window to attract
attention, as Bates had attempted to
assault her, and in the struggle Bates
struck her on the head, cutting her
scalp and also above her right eye.
Bates explanation was that he had
been "jollying' her and she got mad
and drew the revolver.
Smith took Bates and Mrs. Brown to
the central police station and by or
ders of Lieutenant Shea their names
were registered on the detinue book
Yesterday Captain Anderson detailed
Detective Freel on the case and he
learned that Bates had accosted Mrs.
Brown on the street about midnight
and had induced her to go to his room
Bates, who said he was a travelling
man for an eastern firm, was identified
later as Charles, alias Con Keefe, a
bunko man well known throughout the
states. His photograph is in the
'rogues' gallery" He has been arrest
ed several times and shown up TO the
watches, but no case was ever made
against him here. In 1898 he was ar
rested in Seattle for assault with
deadly weapon, but was able to beat"
the case.
Mrs. Brown was booked at the prison
later on a charge of discharging fire.
arms within the city limits. and was
released On $40 cash bail. Keefe. alias
Bates, is being detained till a full in
vestigation is made into his conduct.

GAINS AND DRAWBACKS
OF FARMING IN HAWAII

The following is from the Pacific
Rural Press:
To the Editor: In the Pacific Rural
Press of March q, there is given a de-
scription of Hawaii as nature has treat.
ed it. 1t is my intention to show here.
and perhaps in later paper, what
person could expect if he intended to
take up ranch life here.
To understand Hawaii we must have
one thing in mind-that is, sugar
Wherever land can be planted to cane,
cane is grown. Where the soil is not
suitable, the land too broken by
gulches, or the moisture conditions un-
favorable, other things may be raised
but sugar cane IS first of all. Although
we see photographs of rice patches, CO.
coanut palms, and SO on, these repre-
sent only the infrequent conditions
What we see usually is large fields of
sugar cane, hardly broken by a tree,
and bounded by the ocean on one hand
and the mountains ON the other.
This cane is raised entirely on the
plantations. The home seeker and far.
mer has to take the land that is left
over and content himself with some
other crop. In former times many of
the plantations were small and owned
by individuals. Now, whenever pos.
sible, they are consolidated and owned
by companies, till at last it is said that
n dozen men have a controlling interest
in the bulk of the plantations, and by
their influence direct the policy of the
others. Practically all conditions not
Ina 20 I'd al
| suit of this control of sugar interests,
| and all problems are solved as to their
effect ON sugar. Thus, in spite of the
wishes Of the natives the monarchy was
replaced by republic. For the sake
of secure free entrance of sugar into
the United States the republic gave
way TO annexation, again in opposition
to the natives, who then composed over
so per cent. of the voters. Now, as
before, land exchanges and all other
official actions are always for the bene-
| TT of the corporation and not Of the
territory.
This is not said to intimate that q
hopelessly corrupt government has been
the result, but simply 10 show that
all things have been made to work foI
the welfare Of one industry. For in
stance, State money was appropriated

of which was TO lower the wages OF
citizens and TO build up a foreign pop

more heavily populated than they are
now. Owing at first to interisland wars
and later to the demoralizing influences
of civilization the Hawaiians are now
of special Importance only in voting
strength. They are far Outnumbered
by others, and in a few decades will
be almost gone. OF a population of
100000 the Hawaiians number only
about $4,000.
AT first they did the greater part of
the work on the plantations. Always,
however, new ilaborers were sought for
and brought from the four corners of
the earth. Although the Hawaiians
would work well when they could be
hired, they wanted too much spare time
and in many ways were unsuitable for
the work. Then, too, they were de
creasing in numbers very rapidly.
Among the first foreign laborers TO
take their places were the Portuguese
from the Azores. These form the bulk
of the white population, and if Oeei-
dental ideas are TO be dominant, will
probably continue to do So The island
Portuguese differ from their coast rela-
tives in usually having a much fairer
skin and lighter hair and eyes. Light
monty seen among them. Usually they
make peaceful, industrious, law-abiding
and generally desirable citizens.
Although other races have often set
tied in the cities and towns, these live
mainly in the country. Many still
work on the plantations, but many more
are small farmers and own their own
houses and lands.
In the hunt for cheap labor China
was also drawn upon. Twenty years
ago the Chinaman was the main plan
tation laborer. Now he is seldom found
| there. The Chinese are running rice

From China the planters went to
