ACCUSE FOREMAN

CHARLES BRIDGES OF LAE COM
AND PORK FROM HIM-CHARGEs AP-
WITHOUT PROBABLY SPITE WORK
BECAUSE THE BOSS OBJECTED TO FISHING WITH DYNAMITE

From Laie, on the windward side of
this island, comes a tale of woe which
His Honor, Mayor Fern, and the City
and County Engineer, Gere, have been
looking into, and which, it appears,
will have to come before the Board OF
Supervisors.
Charles Bridges, road foreman, has
been accused of various and sundry
alleged crimes, but the Mayor and the
engineer are unable to see that he has
been guilty of anything irregular.
Rather it appears to be nothing but a
local spat and will probably be treat
ed as such.
Bridges it is alleged in a lengthy
petition, uses the road men to gather
taro for him; and to pound poi for
) him. 1t is also declared that he makes
the road employees buy the poi that is
thus made, and that further, he kills
and cuts up and sells pigs to his road
men.
The investigation by the Mayor and
the City and County Road Engineer,
however, shows that whatever a road
employe does for Mr.. Bridges is done
outside of City and County working
hours, and Mr.. Bridges pays for the

PUBLIC LIBRARY BUILDING.

EDITOR STAR:-As the matter of
a public libary building for Honolulu
has been brought prominently before
our people of late it may be interest
ing to know what is being done in this
line in other and larger places.
The public library building now ap-
preaching completion in New York
city has been pronounced by some as
the most magnificent public building
in the United States" The follow
ing details are taken from an eastern
paper. The building fills the entire
frontage of two city blocks from For
tieth to Forty-second street, facing
east. 1t is three hundred and ninety
four feet long, two hundred and sew
enty-four feet deep, and one hundred
and thirty feet above the ground to
its highest point. The stock room at
the rear. overlooking Bryant Park, is
two hundred and ninety-seven feet
long, seventy-eight feet wide and fifty
three feet high. This is occupied
by structure of steel beams covering
almost the entire space and containing
four and half million pounds of steel.
This is the book case proper, There
win be sixty-three miles of book shell

work out of his own private purse.
When he sells poi or pork to the Coun-
ty road employees he gives them their
moneys worth and he makes little or
no profit out of it. 1t is admitted
that it is poor policy, but absolutely
nothing really wrong has been dis
closed.
1t appears that at the bottom of the
petition of certain alleged sore-head
laborers lies the fact that Charlie
Bridges eXpostulated with some of his
road men for the reason that they were
fishing with dynamite He threatened
to report them or did report them, for
killing fish with dynamite, against the
law; and to get even with him they
signed a petition or a complaint al
leging these various things against
their foreman; that he makes his men
buy his poi and pork; that he favors
certain men who work for him prl-
vately, and that he is unjust to otn-
ers who refuse to work for him pri-
vately.
All of which charges do not appear
to be substantiated, and all of which is
not considered Of particular interest
to the City and County Board, but
rather local quarrel.

the Huang Houtze raids Villages are
taxed as such, and IN these cases the
brigands agree to keep off other rob-
bers. They sometimes station guards
about the towns, and in case Of at
tack come to the aid of the police.
In such places the Huang Houtze
agent furnishes the flags to travellers,
and his is done likewise in the lar
ger cities.
Take, for instance, N~ewchwang
which is the chief seaport of Man
churia- It has a Huang Houtze agent
who a a regular office where any
one may go and buy the right to
trave1 owe the country. It is only
recently that it has been necessary for
foreigners to have such protection,
but now all people going alone will
do well to get Huang Houtze flags.

Of all her belongings, including even
her shoes and stockings, leaving her

roadside. She had only $40.
Held to Ransom.
In this case the~young woman was
a missionary and the brigands knew
that she was probably poor. Had she
been a rich Chinese lady she might
have been held for ransom. This has
! been one with Chinese merchants.
Not long ago a silk trader was caught
within five miles Of the city in which
he lived and carried off to the noun

can go thirty miles a day without
firing, and "a be pushed to twice

and are exceedingly dirty. The
bandits carry nothing with them but
their arms, except a long fur coat,
which they wear in the winter. and
a Quilt, folded over their saddles. They
have modern guns and are armed with
r%evolvers. The majority carry Mauser
rifles or big bore Winchesters. Some
have Russian pistols, and many have
japanese which they have
collected from the battlefields or have
gotten hold of in some way or other
during the war. Their
is of European make, and some Of
them have cartridges Of smOkeless

war they bought or stole a quantity
Of rifles from the runaway Chinese
soldiers, and got additional arms IN
1900, when the arsenalS Of North
China were looted and the arms dis
tributed gratis by the officials. They
have captured some guns from the
Russians during the past few years
and they have altogether a splendid

must pay tribute to them. They
have fixed charges as to goods In
transit, and the carts carrying freight
are marked with little printed flags
with red borders, furnished by them.
Upon the flags are printed Chinese
characters, certifying that the owner
has paid his toll, and that the vehicle
and drivers are not to be mo1estad.
Otherwise the man is sure to be rob-
bed and his men may be killed.
A few months g on the same day
one hundred carts started out from

flags The men and goods in the
carts SO tagged completed their
journey in safety; but the others, who
had refused to pay h oil, were at
tackled by the bandits before they
had gone thirteen miles from the
city. The goods were stolen and their
drivers were killed.
During my stay in Mukden, / talked
with the agent of a big mining cen

"A Big Organization.
I am told that these bandits have
existed as an organization fonages, but
that they have never beer SO asso-
ciated together as now. Their resorts
have been the mountainous regions of
Mongolia and Manchuria, from where
they have gone down regularly to prey
upon the people Of the ~loWlands. The
words Huang HOutZe mean red boards.
It is said that these outlaws some
times dye their hair and boards red,
and that thus decorated their names
become Synonymous with the devil in
the minds of the northern hines I
understand that each band has one
chief, with several minor chiefs, who
form his bodyguard. There are about
fifty of these head men in a band, and
each has ten or twenty brigands un-
der him, the whole making a gang of
one thousand or more. Such a band
will take charge Of a certain part
of the country, similar bands being
located in other regions. The brigands
have a system Of INSTRUMENTATION
by which they car combine and by
which the guarantee of one company
is respected by the others.
Every band has its secret agents in
the locality where it operates. These
men know all about the business of
the towns and villages. They notify
the bandits what cargoes of goods are
to be shipped and, as far as possible,
the wealth and standing of the ship

on a train stopped ear Harbin. This

and surrounded with Russian soldiers.
Nevertheless, the Huang HoutZes had
arranged to ditch the cars and rob
the passengers They had twisted the
rails just above an embankment about
twenty feet high and were waiting on
the hills nearby for the express to
come. In the meantime the patrol
man had discovered the injury done
to the track. He fired three shots,
and thus warned the engineer SO that
the train was stopped within about
fifty feet Of here the rails were bro

they remained on a neighboring hill
while the train stopped. They watched

sacks, relay the tracks, and fired a

pulled away.
The Huang Houtzes and Sepoys.
These bandits will have to be con-
trolied by the Chinese. Neither the
Japanese nor the Russians will per-
nit a continuation Of the attacks upon
their trains. As it is now, there seems
to be a combination between the
Chinese troops and Chinese officials
and Huang Houtzes. It is even said
that some of the policemen Of the
villages are themselves Huang
Houtzes. and that the officials of the
larger cities are in alliance with them.
Every few months some soldiers are
sent out to pull them down. They come
back, bringing the heads Of what they

ends Of my car. We had a
OF soldiers in the third-claSS

station was guarded. There has been
a recent outbreak of the Huang

trains in the various parts of Man

robbed h express under the very
shadow of the city of Hardin and
captured $4,000. Even here, insghe
south, the trains are not safe, and
they all have soldiers upon them. The
