The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1911-11-03
Again
In The Tolls

Under the name of James d. Hallen,
but with a string Of aliases, the man
once well.known in Honolulu as Julien
d. Hayne was lately again brought to
justice i'm New York, this time for
forgery. The former occasion was in
1877. when A. f. Judd and w. r. Raw
Inns, then students at Yale, gave evil
dence Identifying him as the Hayne
of Honolulu fame and thus showing
him up as an impostor. He was con-
victed and served time.
Hayne was a great sell-advertiser
under more or less false pretenses, as
well as a political adventurer, in Ho-
nolulu in p. G. times. Once he starred
in an amateur dramatic performance
of an Irish comedy at the Hawaiian
Opera House, announcing himself as
the author of The Isle of Cham
payne This pretension Of playwright
distinction was promptly punctured by
someone connected with The Star and
in this paper, which made Julien a
sad man and, if recollection serves
rightly, was the first jolt to the Hayne
underpinning administered here. His
acting on the stage was barely medi-
OGRE. his legs in knee breeches max
ing the chief hit
Early in his sojourn Hayne was ac-
corded the signal distinction of being
made a guest of the Social Science
| Association, and while being lionized
at the meeting he attended he was
assured that he might expect to be
invited to fill the first vacancy in its
/ limited and exclusive membership. He
made good whack at establishing
himself in public favor by giving a
/ dinner to the local press at the lead
ing hotel.
He started The Hawaiian, a very
notwithstanding and good-sized
monthly, writing the greater part of
its contents himself. 1t was opposed
to the Dole government and veno-
mously anti-missionary, and for the
few numbers it lasted was meat and
drink ID the entire push of malcOn-
tents. Hayne had a slashing and not
ungraceful style, yet was much over
rated as writer by his admirers. An
experienced critic would have sized
him up as one who would soon write
himself out.
Hayne had gift of the CAB for
a dozen. There was a wordy duel on
the Hawaiian Hotel lanai one night
between him and the surgeon of the
/ L. S. flagship Philadelphia, in which
religion as well as American-Hawai-
ian politics figured, and it was mem
orable to all members of the group
that heard it, This conversational
bout was afterwaTd referred to by
Hayne in The Hawaiian, where he sol
EMMY called a local editor to witness
that he had, on the occasion, con
fronted his antagonist with a certain
statement that he seemed to consider
unanswerable.
How, or in just what circumstances,
Hayne faded out of Hawaii is not
remembered, but certainly he did not
leave with the prestige of a man of
some account which he had attained
at the apogee of his advent.
Following is the account of his latest
arrest, from the New York World of
October Il:
