A CAY EVENING
At THE BEACH
Outrigger Clubs ChoWder and
Carnival Draws Big
Crowd.

The Outrigger Club 5 carnival at the
beach last night was brilliant sue.
cess, as spectacle and financially.
The attendance was beyond expecta-
tions and the weather was perfect.
Honolulans accustomed to the brilliant
night scenes of the beach enjoyed them
over again. while visitors who had not
before seen the Examinations of the
Moana aud Seaside, saw them with
lighted surfboats and the lit-up hau
trees and were full of enthusiasm.
The real crowd did not come until
evening. In the afternoon there was
quite a large gathering, and the chow
der, served at the dinner hour, did not
go begging by any means. But it was
after dark that the assembIage began
to be large, and by eight o clock the
grounds of the Outrigger Club and
Moana and Seaside hotels were filed
with people.
TO many the extent of the prepara
tions and the Outrigger Club S growth
were something of surprise Alexan-
der Hume Ford, who was the head AMI
front of the carnival scheme, was many
times congratulated in the warmest
terms upon the success of the enter
tainment. The only disappointment
was the failure of the Nc Rae company
to appear on the improvsed stage. The
company had stayed over at Maui, in
stead Of taking the Mauna Loa for Ho-
nolulu.

Springs In Scales?

Hyatt described the raid on the scale
houses by Government Agents Parr and
Brezinski in November, 1907, and
identified a piece of metal similar to
corset steel which Parr claimed to
have found concealed within the scales.
Hyatt, who was summoned to the
doca on the day of the raid, said the
action of the spring, introduced
through a hole in the scale stanchion,
retarded the action of the scale and
made it weigh less. Sixteen out of
seventeen scales, Hyatt said, contained
the holes described.
Hyatt illustrated how the checker
would press downward on the steel de
vice. thus causing a loss Of about eight
notches, or sixteen pounds, when a
draft Of three bags of sugar was being
weighed.

Secretary and Superintendent of
American Refining Company
So Declared.
CRIME DISCOVERED IN 1907
Robbed Government by the Use
of Short Weighing Scales
for Imports.

NEW YORK, June 11.-Charles r.
Heike, secretary of the American Sugar
Refining Company, and c. ". Ger
bracht, formerly general superintendent
Of the same company, were yesterday
found guilty of defrauding the govern
ment through the use of fraudulent
scales in the Brooklyn scale house,
where foreign sugars were entered and
checked up for customs purposes. Their
trials began on May II, the cases go
ing to the jury late yesterday after
noon. Last night the verdict Of guilty
as charged was returned.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1910-06-11

The charges against the sugar trust
officials were based on information
given the government by Richard Parr,
a government employee in the Brooklyn
scale house. Acting on his informa-
ton of crookedness. a raid was made
by customs officials in November, 1907.
The raid exposed the manner in which
the government was being systematic
ally robbed and number of arrests
were subsequently made. The com
pany refunded an enormous sum to the
government to cover the loss in Gus
toms revenue and, on the basis of this
refund. Heike and the other officials
pleaded immunity. Their plea went I'M
needed. however. and he and five other
officials faced a Judge and jury.
One of the principal witnesses for
the government was T. D. Hyatt,
known among the weighers as 1.-the
square weigher,'' because he refused
to take part in the frauds His appear
ance in the weighing house, it was
stated in evidence. used to be an
nounced by the ringing of a bell, the
signal for hiding the fraudulent de-
vices by which the underweighing was

Sexton, son of Mr.. and Mrs NJ. H.
Sexton of this city, took leading part,
says of the acting Of Mr.. Sexton:
None Of the cast has anything on
Morgan Sexton when it came to hand
ling the comedy parts. AS Heinie Din
kelspiel, German servant. he was a
roar at all times and sent his hearers
into commissions of laughter by his imi-
tations and fool actions. It would be
difficult TO find another amateur in the
city who could handle the part as he
did. The other men of the cast, while
carrying light parts, showed to advan-
tage and many of them will soon have
a chance to show their ability in more
difficult parts"
