CANNED BANANAS ARE
NOW PUT UP ON kauai

Experiments that promise to put
canned bananas upon the ever growing
list of Hawaiian commercial products
have been concluded on Kauai with
every indication of success. The pine
apple cannery at laval has been the
scene of the experiments, and as far as
brief attempt in that direction can
be accepted as conclusive the banana
can be canned as successfully as the
pineapple.
Land Commissioner Pratt had the
privilege of sampling the canned fruit
during his recent visit to Kauai. He
tasted banana of the Chinese variety
that had been in the tin for some time,
and he declares that it was delicious,
retaining the natural favor and tasting
practically the same as the fresh fruit.
81 don't know whether this has ever
been tried BEFORE said Commissioner
Pratt, in speaking of his discovery,
''but it is certainly new as far as L
know. The manager at the laval can
merry is progressive and is constantly
experimenting with all varieties of
fruit. From what know of the canned
banana it is success. There certainly
should be profitable field for it COM

INDICTMENT IS
READ TO BOOTH

Charles W. Booth and Davis K.
Kaaumoana were arraigned in Judge
DE Bolts department of the Circuit
Court yesterday morning on charges of
arson in the second degree. The date
for pleading was set at February 8.
Both Booth and his alleged accomplish
and tool betrayed no signs of nervous
ness during the proceedings and left
the court room hurriedly after the in
dictment had been read by Deputy At
torney-G General Whitney.
Blackmail'' is all that Booth would
say when asked for an expression of
opinion on the case after the court adj
journed. He stated further that his
attorneys had advised him to refrain
from talking for publication or dis
cussing the details of the case. "Black-
mail' was all that he would say.
Second Degree Charge.
1t is thought probable that the prose-
cution will center all its efforts toward
| attempting to secure the conviction of
! Booth and that David Kaaumoana, the
| Hawaiian, who is charged jointly in
the indictment returned by the grand
jury, may be given chance to testify
against the accused land owner and
politician.
The indictment first charges Kaau-
moana with having burned the home of
Booth on June IS, 1903, and continues
in the following legal phraseology:
"The grand jurors aforesaid do fur
Their present that Charles w. Booth of
| Honolulu, in the Island of Oahu, and in
the circuit aforesaid, and within the
jurisdiction of this honorable court, be-
fore the said felony and arson was COM
mitted, to wit, on the 18th day of June,
1903, did unlawfully and feloniously
abet, procure and counsel, execute and
command the said David X. Kaau-
moana to do and commit said felony.'
Prosecution Theories.
There are numerous details in the
case that the prosecution will attempt
to make out against Booth which they
believe will show his motive for con-
spring to destroy his home on Pacific
Heights. 1t is said that the insurance
on the dwelling was raised $4,000 short
ly before it was destroyed. Other cir
cumstances that are looked upon as in
eliminating by the officers of the prose-
cution are somebody's statement to the
effect that Booth ordered several Ha-
waiians working about the place to lit
ter the cellar of the house with grass
but the main dependence is understood
to be placed upon David Manuel, the
special officer, who, after working dill
gently IN an effort to run down the
perpetrators of the arson, is now said
to have had hand in the affair him.

the Crown lands of Hawaii, Of which j
was deprived in 1893" said the former
monarch. 81 shall employ no attor-
neys to prosecute my claim, but shall
leave it entirely to Prince Kalania-
naole, the Delegate from Hawaii, and
to those members of Congress who be.
lieve that justice requires some action
should be taken on my behalf"
The statements of the aged Queen
were not harsh toward the United
States, and showed nothing but mild
reproach. Facts and figures were quot
ed as the strongest argument for the
granting of her claims.
She said the Crown lands of Hawaii
were separate from the general public
lands Of the kingdom, and were in
trust for the reigning monarch and
heirs. All the lands were divided into
three groups by Kamehameha III. One
part went to the chiefs and people, an
other part became general public lands
and the other became n trust fund oil
property for the personal use and bene
fit of the monarch and his successors tc
the throne.

Area of Crown Lands.

The statement of the former Queen
was in part as follows:
"During my reign as Queen of Ha-
wall, the area of the Crown lands was
about 100000 acres; the present value
of these lands is over $12,0o0,000.
"The income from the lands at the
time my government was overthrown
was over 100000 per year. This sum
went direct TO the occupants of the
throne, in addition to the privy purse,
amounting to $4,000 a year, for main
tanning the royal household.
"Three separate and valuable pieces
of the Crown lands of Hawaii have
been taken for the direct use of the
Federal government. One tract, adj
joining Honolulu harbor, is occupied by
the Honolulu naval station, including
the coaling yards and two wharves;
another is the site of Camp Shafter
now equipped as permanent military
post The third is just being occupied
as a military post at Waianae'uka, in
the interior of Oahu.
"The portions of these lands directly
held and used by the United States for
military and naval purposes are alone
worth 100000
