RUBBER DOOM HAS
A QUIET ENDING

NEW YORK, Sept. 26.-It is credit
able to the London market that It
has passed through a violent specu-
lation in rubber shares without any
body being seriously hurt A good
many people have lost money, and
the worlds knowledge of the sources
of rubber supply has been greatly
expanded. The London stock ex-
change seems to have been able to
hold the speculation down to cash
basis.
But the speculation in rubber it.
self has collapsed. 1t is admitted
that the automobile demand, even in
this country, has fallen off to such
an extent that the supply for the
manufacture of tires has overtaken
ii. The price of the commodity is
still high, but not surprisingly so
when it is remembered that Great
Britain, which imported 1000 tons in
1874, last year imported 10000 tons
The weakness and strength of the
rubber market lies in the character Of
| the natives of those countries where
the product can be obtained Tropical
conditions of a peculiar character
are necessary. These exists in the
Straits Settlement, Malay states and
in the Dutch and British East Indies,
to a limited extent in Ceylon, and
probably in the greatest perfection in
the enormous and virtually uneXplor-
ed basin of the Amazon in South
| America.
The situation is complicated by the
fact that while labor is cheap, COM
pared with all the standards of civili-
zation, 1t is yet inefficient and uncer-
tain. The inducements to work in a
climate like that of Brazil are small.
During the course of the boom in
rubber shares the price of the pro-
duct was absurdly inflated, presum-
ably to help the stock market. So far
from there being any scarity 'of the
material, there is enough of it to put
a rubber tire around the world The
difficulty is less in the supply of rub
Der than in the labor question, and
the solution of even that difficult
problem is after all only a question
of time.

Gains
e VOTERS

LlHUE, October Sup till yester-
day morning the total number of re-
gistrations was 1O44, and this has been
increased by the final two days count
to 1871, 81 new names having been
added to the roll yesterday and to-
day.
Among the interesting results Of
the count is the poor showing made
by Waimea district, which has fallen
off in the number of citizens eligible
to vote, for some reason or other,
while Hanalei, Koloa and Wahiawa
precincts have made substantial gains
over the list of two years ago.
Lihue and Kappa precincts were
slightly behind their former figures, up
to yesterday morning, but the addi-
tional count of these last two days has
put them both ahead again, with a
total registration of 24j for Lihue and
ia for Kappa as against 244 and 1856,
respectively, for 1908.
The totals for the other seven pre-
cincts and Niihau for 1910 and 1908
are as follows

The Supreme Court, of course, is yet

WON WILL CASE

SAN FRANCISCO, October O.
Judge Coffey made a stroke of the
pen yesterday which was worth about
81 100000 to John =. Spreckels and Il
like amount to Adolph B. Spreckels,
applicants for a share in the distri-
button of the estate Of their deceased
father, Claus Spreckels
Judge Coffey's pen stroke was his
signature to a decision holding that
the fourth paragraph of the Claus
Spreckels will, wherein the late SUI
gar king sought to exclude John d.
and Adolph B. from participation in
the good things which even multi-mil-
lionaires must leave behind them
when they pass into the great beyond,
was null and void, Notwithstanding
the fact that it was clearly expressed
in the will that the two son omitted
had already been provided for.
What Spreckels intended to do was
to leave his fortune to Rudolph and
Claus A. in trust, the income to be
paid to the widow until her death,
and then to be divided between the
trustees and their sister. Emma Fer

SIERRA
OPIUM 1?
CHIEF BAKER OF THE OCEANIC
LINER is DETAINED HERE BY
BRECKONS.

Just now District Attorney Brec-
kons is particularly active in his
search for struggled opium. His ac-
uvity has ben successful, in mea-
sure, for he recently took possession
of a quantity, which he has every rea-
son to believe was quite modest about
it's entrance into Honolulu. Breckons
stated this morning that it was not
very much, and it's value was not equal
to a weeks board bill He did not
qualify his statement at all, but it
must be assumed that it was not
very large quantity.
me District Attorneys action in ex-
aiming members of the crew of the
Sierra led him to the latest find of
opium, and further, as the result of
his Investigations, he has resolved to
detain the, chief baker of the Sierra,
as he believes that creator of the staff
of life has ben connected with the traf-
fic.
Deep down there is something at
work in the way of stirring up these il
legal traffickers, but Breckons. like the
man in the song Amt agoin' to tell"
Just now he prefers to make noise
like an oyster in case he should let
the law-breakers know exactly how
much he does know.
He takes long shots now and again
that frequently come off. OF course
when they do come off, he is all right.
but possibly his laudable efforts to
protect the victims of the poppy habit
will land him in little trouble. This
is the view that one Chuck Sing takes
of Breckons's interest in his FAIRS,
and the Oriental resents it. Although
he is not an Englishman, he has some
English ideas and looks upon his home
as his castle; evidently he also con-
siders a restaurant in the same cate
CORY.
According to Chuck Sings side of
the story, he was subpoenaed to ap-
pear before the United States Com
missioner's court one day during the
latter part of September last. He
was put on the stand, after having
answered a few inconsequential ques-
tons he was told that the District At
| torney was dying to see him in his
Office. Chuck Sing called on Breckons
who said Chuck Sing, | want you to
| sign this paper" At the same time
he was handed a document written in
Chinese, and which would have au-
thorized BreckOns to search the sign
er's house. Chuck was disagreeable,
and declined to sign it. Breckons
then intimated that he was going to
search the house anyway, and imme-
diately issued orders to his STAFF to
keep Chuck Sing about the premises,
and to procure a hack. The vehicle
was duly procured, and the whole
party, including BTeckons and Chuck
Sing went for a ride at the govern
ment's expense. First they went to
restaurant in which Chuck Sing is a
part owner Chuck Sing was left in
the hack while Breckons went inside,
it is presumed to search the house.
From the restaurant they repaired to
Chuck Sings house, and there they be-
gan another search, They pulled out

A sale Of $4,000 California Refinery

been at $10O.25. The latter figure IS

A report was circulated on the
streets this morning that Waialua
would have only about 100000 on
hand at the end of the year. and that,
owing to the low price of sugar, divi-
dends woul probably have to be sus-
pended during a part, at least, of next
year. 1t is true that the Waialua ba-
lance will be comparatively light; but
the chances of dividends with low
priced sugar will he better next year
than they would under similar condi-
tions in the past.
The sale of Waialua the other day
at 500 was fiuke and did mot indi-
