BOND ISSUE HAS
/. BEEN GWEN OVER

1t has been more or less of an open
secret for nearly a year that B. F..
Dillingham; was planning a private
bond issue in quite large amount for
the purpose of bringing into better
working shape his immense and varied
industrial interests in the Islands. The
plan was regarded as a good one by
financiers, and several large concerns
had favorably considered the question
of investing literally in them.
1t is now announced, however, that
the issue will not be floated, for the
good and happy reason that the
cause for the bonds no longer exists.
In the past few months Mr.. Dillingham;
has met with signal success in a num-
Der of sweeping adjustments, and now
feels that he is probably again able to
Ego it alone" as he has frequently
done with such success in the past
So the bond issue will be forgotten,
and Mr. Dillingham;, accompanied by
his wife, will leave in about a month
for an extended health and pleasure
tour Of America and Europe.

HOW KAHUKU WILL
HEREAF TER STAND

The way the stockholders of Kahu-
ku Plantation Company brought about
the increase Of capital from 100000 to
S1,000,000 yesterday afternoon was to
declare a stock dividend of 100000.
This was made easily possible by the
presence in the treasury of "a surplus
of $5O7945.69, left over from asst
year, as. well as the accumulation of
receipts since December 81, 1909.
For each share of stock held the
owner is to receive an additional
share, thus doubling the holdings all
the way through.
The new stock is to bear date of
July 1, 1910, and is to be issued to
stockholders of record on that day.
From and after July the dividend
Of Kahul1u will be one-half of one per.
cent, or six per. cent. per annum,
which is on the same basis as the
one per. cent. being paid at the pre-
sent time.
There is considerable speculation as
to what will be the future basis of
Kahuku stock. Lately, while paying
IL per. cent, it has been valued at
$93. Following the stock dividend of
100 per. cent, and the reduction of
monthly dividends to one-half per.
cent, one would naturally suppose
that the stock would settle to about
SIG so. But will it? At $40 a share
it would still be six per. cent. pro-
position, even if regular dividends are
the sole dependence.
The capital acquired by Kahuku in
the transfer to its business Golfers of
this half million of surplus will mean
everything to the financial standing
the estate, placing it in the class to
be rated by Bradstreet and Dun as
gilt edge.
1t will certainly place it in such a
position that its chief worry will be in
making sugar and paying dividends,
having no debts of consequence to
figure upon.

MR. RIPLEY WILL
RELOCATE HERE

c. B. Ripley, the old-time Honolulu
architect, who has received the con
tract for planning the new Y. M. c..
A. building, will sail by the Wilhel-
nina for his present home in Califor-
mia, where he will draft the plans and
return here in about six weeks. While
here he has gone carefully over the
ground and thoroughly digested the
ideas of the building committee.
Mr.. Ripley gave up most important
architectural business in this city
about ten years ago to take up con-
crete construction in the Philippines.
Manila was too slow for him, however,
and he removed to California, but only
to find that his family were unable to
endure the climate in comfort.
And so we have decided to come
back to the Paradise OF the Pacific to
remain, Mr. Ripley explains. Upon
my return will reopen an office and
resume business much where left off
years ago. The Y. NJ. G. A. con-
tract will keep me occupied for awhile,
and have other matters in mind to
be taken up later along. have been
away good long time, but Honolulu
still seems like the only, real home"

MUCH To LIVE
MORE To DIE

CHICAGO, May 2.-While the cost
of living is acknowledged to be high,
the cost of dying is now and always
has been exorbitantly high, according
to conclusions reached at a confer
ence at the City Club.
Accordingly a committee was APP
pointed to look into the subject and
secure estimates on funerals ana other
expenses attached to the different
burial customs in vogue in Chicago.
Harry E. Smooth chairman of the
committee, said yesterday that its pur-
pose was to find out if some form OF
exchange could not be formed to pre-
vent public eXtortion.

AT THE SEA SIDE.

The location of the Haleiwa hotel
is one of the most delightful in the
islands. The sea is before one and
the mountains at the back and there
is never secretly of a good breeze. For
rest and for recreation it is the most
delightful place imaginable. The
management will give special rates to
school teachers during the summer
and arrangements for the comfort of
the guests will be complete. The
rooms and cuisine at the Haleiwa are
all that could be desired.

WILLETT & GRAY'S

cate the rate of closing last year for

We must take notice of the effect OF
the drought in Cuba on the next crop.
Although there is time for the recup-
Grafton of the cane already planted
yet the serious situation at the mo-
ment is that the usual paintings at just
this period cannot be made. No doubt
the European spectators in the next
beet crop contracts will soor recog-
nize this feature of the futRNl us 4
bull argument, which it undoubtedly
is, considering the moderate increase
of sowings for the next European beet
crop.
We have no sugar exchange here
Except locally in New Orleans) and
hence but few sugar spectators here.
The much higher basis of values in
the European sugar exchanges dis
courages our sometime spectators
from participating in future contracts
over there, as has been customary in
times Fast, although it is pretty evil
dent already that such contracts for
August, September and October deliv-
cries would pay handsomely.
U. S. Four Ports receipts were
small, 3S,2S2 tons, with MEETINGS 49,
600 tons, and purchases of supplies for
arrival seem insufficient for any very
considerable length of time.
Further improvement in price and
demand is a question of time.

CRUGIEIES HIMSELF

SAN BERNARDINO, Cal, May O.
While brooding over the possible i'll
effects of the comets visit, Paul Ham
merton, a sheepman and prospector,
became insane ana crucified himself,
according to mining men who arrived
with him yesterday Hammerton was
found where he had nailed his feet
and one hand to a crude cross he had
erected near the Discovery gold claim
last Friday.
Although he was suffering intense
agony, Hammerton pleaded with his
rescuers to let him remain in his spik-
ed Imprisonment
Since the visit of Comet A 1910,
Hammerton has shown alarm, and
when he was led to believe that the
earth was scheduled to pass through
the tail of Halley's comet, his mind
gave and he believed that the end OF
the world was at hand.

ATTACKS PRIMARY LAW
STATE SENATOR LEHR REVIEWS
HIS OBJECTIONS TO MEASURE.
Is Confident Suit Now Pending in Su-
preme Court Will Prove Truth
of Contentious

WAUSAU, Wis, Jan. 25.-[ Special. !
Senator j. Elmer Lehr of Appleton,
who is here on business in the circuit
court, commented on the appeal of his
complaint against the primary law TO
the supreme court and said he was conf
dent that the law would be declared I'M
constitutional in February. Mr.. Lehr
said:
Our first contention is that the legislative
power is vested In the Senate and Assembly
solely and that the referendum whereby
the blu was referred to the people, was I'm.
constitutional and therefore void.
Our second contention is that the primary
law was TO go into effect latter its passage,
approval and publication" and there was nc
publication of the law IL the official state
paper after its approval by the people The
bill was published before it was voted upon
by the people, but not afterward This
alone is fatal
The law also abridges the right of as.
se.1bly provided for in both the state and
federal constitutions.
1t also infringes the rights of persons whQ

them to secure a certain number of names
upon their petitions within certain terri
torial limitations
Fifth, the nomination of candidates for
the United States Senate is unconstitutional
Senators are elected by the Legislature.
Their nomination by a primary is solely
advisory and not binding upon the LegiSla.
ture. In other words, that section of the
law cannot be enforced. Why, therefore,
make the people pay for the unnecessary
expense of holding a primary for that pur.
pose?
We have gone into court as a taxpayer,
desiring to be relieved of the enormous ex-
pense attendant upon primary election,
