But Donald Sheppard, Suspected
OF Murder, Disappears.

The stories of the witnesses are
somewhat contradictory, but it appears
that the brick yard employees had mn
ished supper about $50 Saturday night
when Mcleod returned and quarrel
arose between Mcleod and Sheppard,
which was continued outside the house.
Another story is that two of the board
ers interfered and that McLeon was

LOCAL PORTUGUESE DISCUSS
AFFAIRS OF new REPUBLIC

\ Either Bernardo Machado or Alfonso
Costa may be selected as the first
president of the Republic of Portugal,
according to local prediction. Both men
are prominent Republicans and have
been leaders in the opposition to the
monarchical form Of government for
some time. They are doctors OF law
and their leadership has been acknowl-
edged ever since the movement began
to urge the destruction of the throne.
According 10 local information the
flag of the Portuguese Republic will
probably be the same design as the
old one, with the exception that the

of royalty from the ensign, but it viii

Lincoln McCandess Declares His
Attitude on Live Issues of
the Campaign.
NO TIME LOST GETTING BUSY

Regarding Disagreements
in the Ranks.

Lincoln L. McCandless, Democratic
candidate for delegate to congress, ar
rived yesterday morning after a tour
OF the southern islands to take up &C
tive campaigning here.
When seen last night he was already
hard at work with his aids and lieut.
enants. becoming further acquainted
with the events since his departure.
In a statement made to The Advertiser
he took up most of the questions which
were editorially asked yesterday, ex-
planning that when The Advertiser
threw its columns open to him he was
Just leaving and would not take advan-
tage OF the offer, anyway, without the
consent of his party.
Regarding the question as to why ne
advocated law to deprive the Punch
bowl Portuguese of the preference
rights granted them in the Organic Act
amendments, he said:
"There is no idea on the part of
the Democrats to deprive the Port
uguese of their homes on Punchbowl.
What we did do was to strenuously OPP
pose the action of Kuhio in 1908 in not
getting through congress the bill which
would convey the lands to them There
is no question in my mind but that they
are entitled to the lands. They have
made the Punehbowl what it is, chang
ing il from barren rock to beautl-
full spot.

The clumsy handling of a shotgun

told by Kim Shut to the police all three
boys were playing with the gun when

The discharge almost tore Lee Kui 5

that il was purely an accident. An

The reason we particularly speak
ABOUT kuhlo S actions pertaining to his

tinuaiiy speaking to the people about

GREAT SUCCESS
AWAITS TOBACCO
Kona Company Harvests Over a
Million Pounds Since the
First of June.

Reports from the Eona Tobacco Com
panys property at kealakekua, Ha-
waii, prove tobacco to have so far
passed the experimental stage as TO
have developed into an industry worthy
of a place in all Hawaiian agricul-
tural statistics
Between the first of June and Sep
TENDER 80, the Kona company harvest
ed 100000 pounds of green tobacco
and another 10000 pounds will be taken
off the ground during October, accord
ing to the present estimates. Eighty
thousand pounds of cured leaf is I'M
dergoing the fermentation process and
in the curing barns are forty thou
sand pounds more.
This showing practically represents
the first years production Of the com
pany, the 1909 crop, while yielding
considerably, having been so planted
as to afford opportunity for studying
the growths of the different leafs in
Hawaiian soil rather than to derive the
greatest commercial values.
The leaf chosen for this years crop
IS of the @umatra type improved,
elghty-five per cent Of the crop con
sisting of this variety.
Last year the crop was made UP
of mixed lots of about twenty cul-
tural strains or varieties of tobacco, so
that uniformity of curing and assert,
ing was impossible. The total crop was
small so that standard grades could not
be followed. The lot was therefore
made up into arbitrary grades as had
the attempt been made to adopt the
recognized market standards, many
grades would have consisted of lots too
small to male single bale.
Seventy eight bales comprising the
wrapper grades of the 1909 crop have
been sold at an average price Of fifty
cents a pound.
The Sumatra leaf, which the prelim-
mary experiments made in 1909 in
dicated to be particularly well adapted
TO kona soils and climate, has thrived
greatly this year assisted by rains
which have continued up to October /.
The kona Tobacco Company is i'm
porting nine thousand bale mats from
Singapore and will install a hydraulic
press. The company is preparing to
ship one thousand standard bales. Of
eighty kilos each, of the 1910 crop.
