Commercial
Happenings
Racy News From the Capitol Regard
ing Sugar Stock.
Honolulu, November s.

o'Nt -
Today may be regarded as an i'm
portant turning point in She stock
market. On the mainland and here
the political problems of the day,
which have upset business for several
months-are being settled. And
with this great obstruction out of
the way there will be an Immediate
return to the more important mat
ters which concern the nation and
territory-namely, adjusting busi-
ness into a settled groove for the re-
mainder of the year and the begin
ming of next.
In anticipation of such readjust-
ment and succeeding revival of inter-
est, stecks took on little new life
yesterday. Today being a holiday
it is quite hard to get definite in
formation, bat it is safe to say that
stocks are as strong as at yesterdays 's
closing; and it is probably safe
prediction that in less than a week
considerably better figures will be
realized all along the line.
Today the Stock Exchange is
closed and all of the brokers are
doing politics. Wholesale houses
and plantation agencies also being
closed, with retailers and office
people generally taking half day
off, business is at stand still. To-
morrow everybody will be engrossed
with the election returns from all
the islands and the mainland, SC
that it will be Thursday or Friday
before everything will be running
smoothly again. And then watch
out.
The only cloud to be left in the
commercial sky after today is that
of the price Of sugar. For several
days the New York quotations had
edged upward steadily, but yester-
day there was slight drop, beets
slipping back from 9s to SIS, lid.
Should there be continuation oi
this slump, no favorable reaction in
the stock market after election could
be permanent; for jubilation and
any reckless buying that it might
entail would speedily collapse before
further depression in the sugar
market.
MAUI STOCK SAILS.
The only active Maui stocks have
been Hawaiian Commercial and
Pioneer. Of the former 1S0 shares
were sold up to last night, for to.

Republican
Victory
Complete vindicatiOn Of the Party by
the Voters Of Maui.

The most sweeping victory ever
obtained by the Republicans on this
island was consummated Tuesday.
When the returns began coming in
it was plain that wave OF Repub-
lican sentiment had swept through
the island and later on it became
patent that the legislative ticket
would beelected by large majorities.
Kuhio should feel proud of Maui,
as the brightest gem III his crown.
Maui showed by the vote she rolled
up Tuesday, that she is proud OF
Kuhio. The voting was quiet in
every instance, and the votes were
counted 50 rapidly that the last pre-
cinct to be heard from wasinbefore l
O'Clock. The News supplied the
people of Wailuku and neighboring
towns, with the returns on Maui
and also from the other islands and
and the mainland, and we have
every reason to believe that our ef-
forts to get the news to the people
as quickly as possible was appreciat-
ed. Long before all the returns
were in we flashed the news to Ho-
nolulu that the entire Republican
ticket had been elected, and receiv-
ed congratulations to the voters OF
Maui from Chairman Atkinson, but
Oahu failed to follow the lead
of Maui, though they did nobly
over there. Below is the total vote
for the County of Maui:

NHE arrest OF five men, together
/ with the confessions of four of
- them TO the effect that they had
set fire to a restaurant at 1924 Cali
fornia street, following quick on the
heels of the discovery of paIpabIe
plot to burn down the Auditorium rink,
Page and Fillmore streets, while the
place was thronged with thousands Of
dancers, set every man on the police
force on the qui vive to check what
was seemingly turning out to be an
epidemic of arson last night.
The four men who confessed to burn
ing down the restaurant accused the
fifth of having urged them to commit
the act. The four are John Rupas and
Thomas Sideres, owners of the restau-
rant, and Nicholas Cochomilios and
Aristos Giannetes, their companions.
The four in their confessions to the po-
lice declared that they set fire to the
restaurant the morning of January 80
at $3.50 O'Clock for the purpose of col
lecting and sharing the insurance on it.
They accused John Kosta of having
advised them to burn the place, which

Kosta Has Suspicious Record

The four of them accused Kosta of
having put them up to the act, say
ing that he had told them that it was
an easy way of making some money.
Kosta was Immediately arrested and a
hurried examination OF his record
brought to light that two resta1lra nts
owned by him had been burned down
within the last three years. The first
to burn was February %, 1907, at $50
a. m, at Eighteenth and Valencia
streets. The second was situated at
81 Sixth street and was DESTROYED nv
fire March 20, 1909. Kosta denied the
accusations made against him. The
five will be charged with arson TODAY.
The discovery of the plot to burn
down the Auditorium rink was made
early in the afternoon and the entire
case was. surrounded by a mystery
which neither the police, the Auditor
ium management nor the fire marshal
could solve. 1t was expected that the
fire fend would appear during the night
to carry out the plot, but evidently got
wind of the discovery and failed to
show up.
There is no doubt in my mind" said
Walcott, that it was a plot to burn
down the building while the dance
given by the Hermanns Sons was at its
height. All the indications pointed to
that but the reason for such an act is
beyond me. | have tried to figure out
as to any enemy of the management
who would be capable of such a deed,
but. 1 can not do SO. The work, in my
mind, was that of some crazed being,
Walcott pointed out that inasmuch as
the Auditorium carries. no insurance its
destruction would work a great injury
on him and his business associates.

PLEA OF CH.vALRY
FELL ON DEAF EARS
Paymaster Auld Convicted by
the Naval Court Martial
at Boston
| Especial Dispatch 10 The Call

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Feb. 5-The
plea of chvaIry as a defense for Pay
master George Percival Auld at the
naval court martial at Boston failed to
save the young officer from conviction.
The testimony of Miss Dorothy Hesler,
the young Chicago girl about whom
the fight between DR.. Edward Spencer
Cowles of Boston and Aud started, did
not deter the court martial from SEN
fencing Auld to punishment.
The papers in the Aud case reached
the navy department today and were
referred to Judge Advocate General
Russell by Assistant Secretary Beck
man Winthrop.
The papers were kept secret, but it
was learned from an indisputable
source that Aud has been convicted
on two of the charges preferred against
him by DIR. II. E. Ames, inspector at
the Charlestown navy yard
The accusation of falsehood, which
was practically dropped during the
trial, was held to be groundless. but
the charges of conduct uubecoming an
officer and a gentleman and maltreat-
ing an inhabitant were sustained
The decree of punishment has not
been made public. 1t is believed that
it is severe and that the secretary of
the navy will mitigate it to a reduc-
ton of few numbers in rank.
The navy department has contended
that the only fault of Auld was in
choosing the wrong place to take Doc
tor Cowles to task for his alleged dis
courtesies to Miss Hesler. The fight
occurred at a naval ball given by Doc
tor Ames and his daughter
Doctor Cowles is a cousin of Rear
Admiral CowIes. brother in law of for
.mer President Roosevelt.
Following the PRONUNCIATION of the
court-martial orders it is expected that
there will be big shake up in the
Boston navy yard. The scandal grow
ing out of the fist fight at the hop has
disrupted the naval colony there and
the good of the service demands
changes.

Auditorium Plot Discovered

Just, 4 few hours before the arrests
and confessions of the inoendiaries
electricians working in the Auditorium,
quitting the final touches on the light
ing arrangements for the big dance of
the Hermanns Sons, came upon a vast
qrantity of straw, excelsior and kind
ling wood, thoroughly saturated with
OIL hidden in remote part of the
basement of the Auditorium. The pile
was all ready for firing and the indf-
cations were that for some mysterious
reason the firebug intended to apply
the match some time while the dance
was on.
While the two cases are not con-
nected in the slightest degree, the man.
ner in which they followed each other
gave rise to fear that the city was to
be subjected to the peculiar crazes of
the fire fend which occasionally visit
a community.
The peculiar conditions surrounding
the burning of the restaurant led to
Detectives Wren and Lord being de-
tailed on the case to investigate. After
working several days they arrested the
owners and their two companions, hold
ing them in detinue. A brief exam
ination brought forth the confessions.
Giannetes and Cochmilios confessed to
having purchased the oil and cotton
for the starting of the blaze and to
having sewn down the curtains so that
the fire might not be discovered after
it has been lighted. After the place
had been thoroughly saturated with al

ABERDEEN, Wash, Feb. 9--The

against William. Gohl. who is under
arrest charged with the alleged murder
of Charles Hedberg. What this al

Hoffman, search for which was being
made in the vicinity of the place where
Hedberg's body was found. Hoffman
has been missing since before Christ
