ENGINEERS JOIN FORCES
UNITE WITH OTHER UNIONS
IN FRAMING DEMANDS.
Strong Brotherhood, Which Has
Heretofore Held Aloof, Follows
Lead of Trainmen.

NEW YORK, January 29.-Coincident
with the negotiations now in progress
between the Brotherhoods of Conductors
and Railway Trainmen and the thirty-two
controlling railroad companies, east of
the Mississippi and north of the Ohio and
Chesapeake, it was said here today that
the Grand Lodge of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers is preparing de-
mands to be made upon the same roads.
Heretofore the engineers, one of the
strongest unions in the country, has re-
fused to join the other railway unions
in demands for more pay.
Grand Master w. G. Lee of the Brother
hood of Railway Trainmen and Grand
Master A. b. Garretson of the Brother
hood of Conductors went to Baltimore
today in an effort to prevent the threat
ened strike on the Baltimore and Ohio
system. The road, while willing to ne
gotiate with the men, has refused all of
the demands made, and the local union
there has been unable to make any prog
ress.
1t is understood here that a secret bal
lot will be ordered. and if the members of
the two unions vote in favor of a strike
on the road the officials of the Baltimore
and Ohio will he served with peremptory
uendndS, IdllHS 10 grant "!lcH StrlKe
will be declared. Mr.. Lee and Mr.. Car
retson were hopeful for amicable set
tlement.
BALTIMORE, Nd, January 29.-An-
other meeting of the railroad trainnen
and the Baltimore and Ohio railroad Off
Gals, to discuss increased pay for these
employees will he held Monday. The de-
mands recently made by the men were re-
fused, ii was said because they were ar
bitrary, on lines fixed by the unions rep
resented, and gave no opportunity for
elasticity or discussion. The belief is eX-
pressed today that at the next conference
the representatives of the trainmen will
have broader power, and will be in bet
ter position to deal with the subject along
such lines as may lead to a satisfactory
conclusion.

Navy Department Awaits Report on

The Navy Department will probably

Famous Sugar Family Retires
From Control Of Great
Company.
TREASURER DoRNER RESIGNS
Change in Management Believed
to Be Due to Federal
Prosecution.

NEW YORK, December 14.-After
dominating the American Sugar Refin-
ing Company, better known as the
Sugar Trust, for years, the Havemeyer
family stepped down from control to-
day with the resignation of Horace
Havemeyer, the son of the late HI.
o.. Havemeyer, as practical head of the
great company.
At the same time Arthar Dorner.
treasurer of the company, also handed
IN his resignation, and new men nm
affiliated with the Havemeyer interests
will assume the practical management
OF the corporation s affairs.
While it is not officially admitted
that the recent prosecutions by the
government, and the petition now be-
tore the federal court for dissolution
of the alleged trust, have anything to
do with the resignation of Mr.. Have
meyer and Mr.. Dorner, it is the belief
in financial circles here that this is the
main reason for the severance of the
connections by the Havemeyer family
with the company.
Until a meeting of the directors is
held it is improbable that any official
announcement will be made regarding
the successors to Havemeyer and Dor
ner.

ON THE TARIFF BILL

WASHINGTON, December 13.-Sen-
ator Cummins of Iowa, one of the orig.
inal insurgents and an opponent of the
Aldrich tariff bill in the last session of
congress, renewed his attack today on
the Payne Aldrich bill. The senator's
speech was in part u reply to the Presi-
dent IS message in which the tariff bill
was defended. Cummins aligned him.
self with the critics of the bill. His
speech indicates that the progressive
Republicans do not intend to follow the
President 3 advice that the tariff be
let alone for tine present. Cummins in
his address to the senate demanded i'm
mediate amendment of the tariff law.
The Iowa senator demanded also an
amendment to the Depew bill, which
fixes the salaries of the Judiciary. He
would amend it to make the salary of
chief Justice of the Supreme Court
$4,000, of associate justices $l7,500,
circuit judges of the Courts of Appeals
$4,000, and district judges $4,000 per
annum. The Depew bill is now pending
and has the recommendation of Presi-
dent Taft, made in his recent message.
Under its provisions, the chief justice
is to receive 1880, associate justices

Land Board Commences Inquiry
Into Reported Dummy

WITNESSES TO BE CALLED
CornweIl Ranch Applies for a
New Lease and Finds
Others Ahead.
(From "wednesday 5 Advortigor.J }

(From Wednesday S Advertiser.)
Fake homesteadiug will be the next
important matter to be taken up by
the advisory land board in connection
with its inquiries into land conditions
in the Territory continually being
made by that body pursuant to the dis
position of public lands.
Subpenas are now being prepared to
call from the other islands at least
six applicants for homesteads on Maui,
the land being the subject of another
application made by the Cornwen
Ranch Company. These men will
testify at a special meeting of the
board.
The application of the ranch com.
pany was presented before the board
yesterday morning at ten O'Clock, when
it commenced its first full meeting in
several months. 1t involves 10,264
acres of land which have been under
lease to the company, that lease just
expiring Much of the land is valuable
for homesteading, the ranch company
asking for a twenty-one-year lease at
$l02S a year.
Standing against the land, however
are numerous applications for home
steads which, under the new land law
provisions, must have the first hearing
Reports, however, have reached the
board that all these applications are
not of persons who wish to become
bona fde homesteaders, it being stated
that several of the applicants desire

SUGGESTS A NEW
WATER POLICY
Advisory Land Board Introduces
New Feature Into the
Kapaa Leases.
(From wednesday Advertlser.l

Believing that the territorial govern
ment should under no circumstances
give up its control over the water sup
plies of the Islands, the advisory land
board yesterday refused to agree to the
original proposal to lease the Kapaa
lands and suggested to the executive of.
ficers a new scheme which they will
be willing to sanction.
Having no direct connection with the
water supplies of the Territory and
having no influence in their disposition
which rests entirely with the Governor
and commissioner of public lands, the
board IS sentiments on the matter were
so emphatically unanimous yesterday
= that it practically suggested a new
| policy in the outlined lease of the Ka-
paa lands.
Under the scheme which it sane.
tions, the Makee Sugar Company, the
| applicant for the lands, would get in
stead of the 100000 gallons of Ka
paa water daily Tor the irrigation OF
those lands, all of it. On the other
hand, where the Territory would lose
its interest in the waters for ffteeI
years, the new proposition still leaves
it the dominant factor in its distribu
/, tion.
Yesterdays meeting was the first il
long time when all of the member
J the board were present, A. w. Carte
, and w. A. Kinney having returned
from the Coast at the beginning of tn
4 week. Kinney introduced the motion
; outlining the new policy, which was a
t follows:
/ "The lease is to include all of tn
. Kapaa water except such water as tn
, commissioner may reserve for needs o
: the homesteaders and residents. 1
shall be understood that the lease shal
contain express conditions that at an.
: time after the crop then growing shal
| have been removed from the ground
the Territory shall have the right t
withdraw all or portion of the waite
. lease in its absolute discretion. Th
amount of rebate of rent following sucl
/ withdrawal to be arbitrated, if not ad
iusted, in the usual way, and it beinj
understood that additional rental shal
be charged for all water diverted b,
; lessor during life of lease to lands no
named in the lease"
This resolution, if acted lpon as
must undoubtedly be, will dispose o
the lands for fifteen years to the Make
Sugar Company for rental to be no
less than $1,000 year, The lands CON
prise 1890 acres.
This resolution also applies to tn
lands of Anahola and Kamalomal
/, which were applied for under separat
! /, application by the same company an
= which adjoin the Kapaa lands. Th
rental of this land, consisting of 1928
! acres, was set at $2750 a year, tn
! smaller price being due to the fact tina
. much less of the area is tillable fo
cane or other crops.
With the exception of one vote, thes
! motions were carried unanimously. +
II. Trent voted against the propose
Kapaa lease on the grounds that tn
rental was too small and that the waite
and lands were each worth $1,000
year rather than both of them together

The fighting was desperate for ho1rs,
and even after the rebels had been

from every vantage point. For a time
they held the regulars in check and
finally retired, carrying with them their
wounded, but leaving seventy dead on
