THERE'S EVIDENCE OF A RING

Customs officers yesterday effected a
seizure of contraband opium brought
ashore from the Pacific Mail steamship
Asia and information placed in the
hands of United States District Attor-
ney Breckons and United States Collec-
tor of Customs Staekable concerning the
person who attempted to smuggle the
poppy extract into town points to a
clue which may yet have sensational
result, for it is believed the man who
made yesterdays effort is tool of
an opium smuggling ring.
Shortly before three clock yester-
day afternoon Hawaiian who has
been steyedore came down the gang
way and instead of working started for
the gateway. The customs officers on
guard there were on the qui vive and
owing to the fact that suspicion has
rested on the Asia as a vessel from
which opium was being Struggled when
ever she called here, the officers were
watchful. The Hawaiian s actions were
suspicious and he was held and searched.
The search revealed three tins of opium
which, according to values placed on
opium at the present time, would be
worth in the market about SO. When
the contraband stuff was in the posses
sion of the United States officers the
Hawaiian broke away and ran for the
end of the wharf and disappeared.

HARvARD-YAlE SMOKER

game against Yale this afternoon. Paul
Wilmington will play center and Lath
rop left guard.
Speeches were made by George X.
Carter, Judge Woodruff and 4. L. Cas-

college days was a noted football man,
and Judge Woodruff is recognized as
one of the chief football authorities IN
the country. He was originally a Yale

MORE WATER
FOR NJ BRYOE
Further Particulars of Results
OF Change of Agents
Are Reported.
CAUSE OF SHARP ADVANCE
Plantation Will Get Part of the
MakaweIi Water Supply,
1t Is Said.
CAUSE OF SHARP ADVANCE

The real reason for the rapid ad-
vance in the selling price of MeBryde
stock, following the announcement
that the agency for the plantation is
to go into other hands, is said to be
the knowledge that McBryde is to get
more water. Part of the Makaweli
supply is to go to McBryde, and that
makes the prospects of the plantation
much brighter.
Makaweli has two bitches. the old
ditch and the new. The new ditch, it
is said, is large enough and carries
a sufficient supply of water for Ma
kaweli plantation, allowing of the wa
ter from the old ditch being diverted
to MeBryde.
One operator obtained advance in
formation of the probable change of
agents and went into the market after
McBryde stock. His heavy buying had
the effect of bulling McBryde, even
before it became generally known that
Theo. H. Davies 4 Co. were to be dis
placed as agents for the plantation by
Alexander & Baldwin.
1t is stated authoritatively that the
trouble between the principal stock
holders of MeBryde plantation and the
agents is of long standing, and, added
to this. there is the advantage of be
ing able to get supply of water from
Makaweli if the change is made.
These causes combined to force a di
yorce of the two concerns and the con
seaunnt sharn advance of the stock
which yesterday was selling at $6.75
on the Exchange.

The above resolution was, after an
extended discussion of its merits, adopt.
ed yesterday afternoon by the Mer-
chants Association, in accordance with
the suggestion made last week by Geo.
w. Smith, who, yesterday introduced
the resolution.
The resolution, of course, is merely
advisory 1t binds no one to anything,
in fact, could not do so, as the asso-
citation has no authority over its mem
bers. But it puts the matter up to
each merchant to consider for himself
and pass upon Independently. Each
man must act as his business instinct
and judgment dictate.
The matter first came up yesterday
when President Waldron called for the
report of the public affairs committee
on later closing. G. W. Smith made
the report, stating that the question
had caused considerable discussion and
some hard feeling, as if an attempt
were being made to force the merchants
TO adopt the later closing plan. This
he said, would be impossible, as the
association had no authority to force
the merchants to do anything.
1.-THE idea was not original with
me- stated Mr.. Smith. "The sug-
gestion came from an officer of the
United States Army, and is intended
to benefit both the merchants and the
soldiers.

Profit for Orientals.

Mr.. Smith made the statement that
the sum of $23 ,344s is paid out to the
enlisted men on Oahu every month.
Most of this money, he said, is spent
in Honolulu, not over ten per cent of
it being sent to the States. Most OF
it. under, present conditions, is spent
with oriental storekeepers, because the
enlisted men have no opportunity OF
snending it in the American stores.
There are at present 1880 enlisted
men on Oahu. but large number more
are coming before a great while, enough
so that within two years they will be
spending not less than $4,000 a month.

Little Dorothy did not live in houses
like you city children have, for her
father and mother had taken her to
live in the midst of a great forest and
their house was made of logs. She
did not go to matinees, or to dancing
school or to visit her little girl and
boy friends, but she learned her dane
ing lessons from the dancing leaves
OF the treetops, took music lessons
no haI nd
singing birds and her most intimate
playfellows were the rabbits and the
bob whites and the squirrels. All the
animals of the great forest loved little
Dorothy and played with her, for she
had never harmed them. 8.
