boats entered in the transpacific race,
which was won yesterday by the
Hawaii, crossed the finish line off
Diamond Head at S:32:42 IL this
morning nearly ten hours behind the
winner, with her handicap of eight
hours taken out.
Light variable winds were reported
by Commodore Smith nearly the en-
tire trip, which was without incident.
A report was circulated about town
this morning that someone had died
on the Sweetheart as her ensign at
a distance looked as if it was half
masted; but as soon as she came in
Captain Harris reported that it was
a signal flag from her main spreader
that had caused all the rumors.
During the trip notnng was sight

CAPTAIN WILDER
TELLS ABOUT RACE

when the Hawaii crossed the line
off Diamond Head yesterday afternoon
l knew that 1 had sailed the winning
yacht" said Charley Wilder this morn
ing when asked for a statement about
the race.
The race which ended yesterday
with the Hawaii winner, is some
thing that will always remember as
one of the greatest pleasures of my
life. When l left here on May 81 l
had the utmost confidence in the abb
lity of the Hawaii to win this year and
you can readily see that my conf
dence was not misplaced.
"The Hawaii proved to me as to the
rest of the crew that she is a good
boat in any sort of weather and I
know if we had had any wind,
that we would have been in here at
least day ahead of the other yachts.
On the trip up and the race down
the Hawaii behaved better than /
thought she would, and when the time
limit was up last night felt that a
great big load had been taken off my
mind as never would have gotten
over it if the Sweetheart had won the
race on time allowance. after our
coming in first.
Tine two days or dead calm which
we mad the last two days made me
feel very uncomfortable, as the Sweet
heart is a boat that can cover good
deal Of ground with light winds.
| I'VE have been treated royalty by
every one we have met since we left
here in May and We are going to dc
our best to prove to the yachtsmen on
the Sweetheart and Mollilou that we
know how to do the same thing"

WILL USE FAMOUS
THIRD DEGREE

All effort today to get any informa-
ton fro mthe FIVE Chinese who were
brought up from Kahuku last Friday
about the murder of Chun Ton, have
proved fruitless. Tomorrow morn
ing Chief of Detectives McDuffie and
Deputy County Attorney Milverton,
with a Chinese interpreter, will make
another attempt to elicit information.
The Chinese since their arrival in
Honolulu have absolutely refused +"
answer any questions that would give
the police any clue to the person or
persons that were responsible for the
death of Chun Ton. Every bit Of
evidence that was obtained at Kahu-
ku by the police has been sifted, the
result being that not one single tan
gible clue has been brought to light.
McDuffie feels certain that one of
the five Celestials has some important
knowledge of the crime, but he is at
a loss to know how to get it, The
famous third degree" that has been
tried and proved successful in other
crimes, will be administered to the
men before the police consent to
their discharge from custody
The fact that Ton had more opium
than was found after his death, makes
the police all the more certain that
robbery had something to do with
the assault and murder.
