Prices Continue Very Strong
and Sales in Consequence
Are Few.

Waialua yesterday slipped back a
little from the lofty pedestal upon
which it climbed Wednesday, and hold
ers were offering to let 60 at 119. Two
small sales were made at that price,
but bidders in general declined to go
above 1875.
There was little bidding for Hilo

of par did not tempt the holders, so
10 transactions were recorded. In fact,
holders did not make any selling quo
tation.
Oahu Sugar was very strong at 32.S75
during the earlier part of the session.
Once the price was forced up to 33,
but only eleven shares brought that

There were two deals in Oahu Sugar

FOUND SEVERELY BEATEN,
WITH HIS POCKETS EMPTY
Believed That A. 3. Fox of Rivera
Was Assaulted for Purpose of
Robbery

S. b. Fox, fruit dealer of Rivera,
was found lying at the foot of an en-
bankment on the Southern Pacific rail-
road track at Banning and Alameda
streets in an unconscious condition
shortly after midnight this morning by
Patrolmen Grug and Gardener.
The police ambulance was called and
the injured man taken to the receiving
hospital. His injuries consisted of a
compound fracture of the left leg above
the ankle joint, deep lacerated wounds
of the face, fracture of the lower jaw
and concussion of the brain.
1t is believed that Fox was assaulted
and knocked down and beaten, prob
ably for the purpose of robbery, as
he had no money and his watch was
broken and found by his side. His con-
dition was such that he was unable to
tell what had happened to him, and
could only give his name and address.

REPUBLICAN MAJORITY TO
BE RESPONSIBLE FOR BILL

WASHINGTON, April 11.-The SEN
ate will begin its consideration or the
Payne tariff bill early this week, and
because of the large number of
changes which have been made in it
by the senate committee on finance 1t
probably will henceforth be known as
the Payne-Aldrich bill.
1t is expected the measure will be
eeported to the senate Tuesday, but
the day cannot be fixed definitely until
after meeting tomorrow OF the Iuii
committee on finance.
The bill as originally introduced in
the house has been under considera-
ton by both the majority and minority
members of the finance committee, but
so far there has not been joint
meeting to consider it.
The Republican majority has as
sumed the right to indicate the senate S
attitude toward the bill, so that what
ever amendments may be suggested
when it is returned to the senate Will
be the result of the labors of this ma
jority. -,
In all probability the Democrats will
make little or no objection to the re-
porting of the bill by the Republicans
1t is not expected a great many set
speeches will be made in the senate.
Most of the discussion by the Demo-
Gratis will be on the merits of the
amendments which will be offered. The
general policy of Republican members
will be to do very little talking. The
prevailing opinion is that no less than
a month will be required for consider
alton of the bill by the senate.
The house, while the senate is wrest-
ling with the tariff bill, will meet only
Mondays and Thursdays, when the
census bill, as passed by the senate,
will receive attention, but little or no
other business will be undertaken.
Speaker Cannon will begin to pre-
pare for the appointment of the house
standing committees. which probably
will be announced prior to the final ad-
iournment of the extra session.

HOPES THAT OSWALD
WILL SHOW HIMSELF

When the special grand jury inn
paneled to investigate graft charges
in Los Angeles, reconvenes at 10 o'clock
this morning there will be much specu-
lation on the live question of the past
few weeks: HAS Nick Oswald un-
earthed himself?"
District Attorney Fredericks still
hopes that Oswald, cognizant of the
fact that immunity has been offered
him If he will divulge the knowledge
that he Is supposed to possess, and
which is essential to a thorough probe
of the graft charges, will appear this
morning.
Those familiar with the case believe
that il Oswald has received proper as
surance of immunity he will decide to
give himself up, for by so doing he
would escape liability of more seri-
Gus charge of avoiding the subpoena of
the court.
That outside pressure Is being used
by the so-ealled "higher-ups" to pre-
vent Oswald from giving testimony that
would be damaging, as well as sensa-
tional, is belief that grows stronger
as the days go by without Oswald an
swering the long-awaited call.
If Oswald does not appear, the grand
jury will continue to get along the
best way possible by the examination
of other witnesses. Joseph Durand,
William Lawrence Fetter, Pierre Lam
berese, Hector Rabagliatti and Felix
Claviere have been summoned to APP
pear as witnesses this morning. Fet-
ter is now confined in the county jail,
having been removed from the county
hospital, and Tuesday morning will APP
pear in Justice Stephens court in the
preliminary hearing on the charge OF
conspiracy in attempting to evade a
grand jury subpoena.
