THAYER AFFAIRS
ARE BADLY
MIXED
Disappears From Manila With
Sugar Estates Near
Financial Ruin.

Afford Finley Thayer, formerly OF
Honolulu. continues to agitate Manila
whore he took up his residence after
leaving the Island. Thaycr's disap-
pearance has already been reported
and the following dispatches from
Manila show that his sudden hitting
is something of a mystery:

kong police have been asked to look
for A. +. Thaycr, promoter OF the
Calamba Sugar Estates Development
Company, Is the news contained III
telegram which has been received by
stockholders in the company.
When he went to Hongkong, he
was accompanied by II representa-
tive of the creditors of the estates
, who took money with him to aid
| Thaycr in his search for llongkong
capital to be used in the develop
ment work at Calamba
The cablegram read: "Thaycr has
disappeared. All funds gone. Have
asked Hongkong police to look for

Bond for PlO,OOO was filed this
morning in the Court of First In
stance to guarantee the appointment
of Receivers r. T.. Clark and Frank
l.. Strong who will take over the
sugar estates pending the settlement
of the proceedings instituted We'd
nesday to adjudge Thaycr an invol-
untary bankrupt.
If Thaycr has disappeared, the pro.
Ccedings will be delayed several
months until the clapsinE Of the legal
period necessary for service of notice
by publication.
At the end of that time, the affairs
of the company will probably be TAX
en- over by an assignee appointed by
the creditors and tho serious work
of continuing the development begun
by Thayer will be pushed
Though present plans are in an en-
bryonic state, II Is the intention of the
creditors TO make the most Of tho
commercial opportunities offered by
the rich possibilities Of the Calambf
estates.

MANILA, p. l., September 30.-hl-
fred Finlay Thayer, the missing pro-
motcr of the Calamba Sugar estates
has been ordered to appear in Judge
Crossiield's court October 4 to show
cause why he should not be adJudged
an insolvcnt debtor, by II court decree
issued Wednesday.
1t is believed that Thayer will not
appear as his whereabouts arc un-
known even to his most intimate
friends in the city. Some of them be-
lleve that overwhelmed by the finan
cial disasters that have overtaken him
he has made way with himself
They point to the fact that he is
known to have left the Hongkong ho-
tel where he was staying with only
the clothes on his back and add that
despair and dependency may have
led him to suicide.

taken the funds entrusted by his 10,
cal creditors to the Representative,
who accompanied him to Hongkong

100000 Within a Short
Time.

The old Bowler homestead on Second
North street, between Third and Fourth

the Utah Ice and Storage company and
work on the erection of 100000
plant will be started Immediately. This
plant will eventually have a capacity
for making 200 tons of ice day, and

eral weeks ago, while negotiations for
the site were pending. and delivery
will he made so that the company Will

Mt a capacity Of 100 tons a day within
ninety days.
The property bought by the ice com
pany is on the north side of Second

Oregon Short Line. This site was
bought for approximately $27,500. The
company. which is made up of eastern
capitalists, Is managed locally by Will.
liam Prackwinllle, who has been in
charge of the first plant, erected five
years ago at First South and Third

erected with r capacity of ninety tons
of ice day, and at the time il was
completed il was thought that it would
he large enough for all the business

more than triple the original capacity,
and both plants will be operated by the
company

of Mrs. Rachel Bowler, in which she has
