where the railroad crosses the gov
eminent road just beyond KawainuI,
about a mile and half on the Hilo
side of the Pepeekeo store. The
third, which will be known as Pepee-
keo, is at the point where the planta-
ton road leading to the mill crosses
the railroad and is about
mile from the government road and
three-eighths of mile from the mill.
1t Is probable that the Kawainui sta
ton will be used for forwarding
freight to points beyond Pepeekeo, as
the grade on the plantation road is y
much heavier one that on the gov
eminent road, and while the distance
is shorter, it would be a much
harder haul.
Work on the big cut and fill at
Honomu gulch is going on well and
General Manager Thurston expresses
himself as being very much pleased.
This is the biggest job on the road
of this character and is we'll worth
a visit. The fill will take $4,000
cubic yards of material, about half
of which has already been placed in
position. A large part of this comes
from the cuts on each side, which are
extremely deep, the maximum being
seventy feet. In many places a layer
of very hard stone about six to eight
feet in thickness has been encoun-
tered, which has held the work up
somewhat
One of the unusual features of this
great work is the presence of ar gang
Of twelve young Hawaiians, who have

They have made a fine impression

watching the work.

trouble comes up which cannot be
easily settled. Contractor Wilson

Correspondence of The Starr
HILO, May 30.-In less than
week the trains of the Hilo Railroad
Company will be running out as far
as Onomea and in about three weeks
will be as far as Pepeekeo, and
regular train service will be in effect,
which should be great convenience
to tn people of that section. The
work on the road is progressing rap
idly and the track has already been
laid for over three-quarters of mile
beyond the present terminus at Pal
haaloa, and on Monday last was up
to the fill at Hanwinui, on which the
contractors were putting the finishing
touches
This fill is the third largest on the
road and has taken $4,000 yards of
material to complete the work. 1t
will probably settle to some extent,
and cinders will be brought in from
Puma for the top, as they will form
the most solid and best material for
this work The fill Is approximately
eighty feet high, four hundred feet
in length and has been very nearly
a year in the course of construction,
under the charge of Foreman Hamil-
ton. 1t was expected that a large
part of the dirt on the Hilo side could
be slu'ced in by means OF water from
a high plantation flume, but this had
to lie given up, as heavy wind blew
the flume down, and it was decided
that it would not pay to replace II.
AS a result ali the last part of this
work has been done with small dirt
cars. which are propelled by man
power.
The next big fill is Kawainui, when
is a short distance beyond Onomea;
and which should be finished in three
weeks. and from that point on TO
some little distance after the road
leading from the Pepeekeo store to
the plantation mill Is crossed, all the
grading has been DONE. The Kawa-
inui fill is ninety-two feet high ana
three hundred and fifty feet long, and
when completed will contain $4,000
cubic yards Of material. 1t is being
rushed ahead as fast as possible and
is now In good shape.

HILQ LABOR UNION HAS HOT
MEETING AND SENDS DELEGATE
TO THE INTERNATIONAL UNION

HILO, May 30.-The Hilo Labor
Union held an exceedingly hot and
exciting meeting last Thursday night
The occasion for the calling thereof
was the impending departure of David
Ewaliko, the president of the organi-
cation, who started the following day
for Seattle, where he will represent
the Union as it's delegate to the con.
vention Of the International Long
shoremen's Union. The discussion Of
the endorsement of a candidate for
the office of tax assessor was, how.
ever, taken up first, and this matter
furnished the fuel for the oratorical
flames.
Ewaliko had at the previous meet.
ing threatened to expel from the I'm
ion any member who tried to bring
politics into the meetings. He there
fore, carefully, suspended the rules
declaring the meeting a public one
and not one of the Union. He then
asked for nominations for endorse
ment for the office of tax assessor.
Henry ]. Lyman was nominated by
Nailima, who spoke very strongly in
favor of this candidate, who had, he
said, had long experience as deputy
tax assessor for Puma, where he had
given satisfactory service.
John Vierra named William Horner
the deputy tax assessor for Hamakua,
but he later on withdrew his name.
John Kealoha named Chas. E. King
who he said, had had much official
experience as a school inspector.
Jim Kepoo strongly backed King.
He had, he said, worked under King
as contractor building schoolhouses
and he had always found King an ex-
ceedingly generous man, who never
kicked when the buildings were com.
pleted. If he we're so generous as a
school inspector, he was likely to be
the same as tax assessor, and this
would be greatly to the advantage of
the poor people.

HONOLULU CLEANUP DAY PLANS
PROVIDE FOR COOPERATION Of ALL
RACES IN SANITARY CAMPAIGN

Honolulu Cleanup Day has been APP
pointed for Saturday June "a. This
was decided at last nights meeting
Of the Central Improvement Commit
tee, when a general plan of campaign
for the day was adopted. In the mean.
time the organizations forming the
central body will consider means for
taking part, and a meeting of the Com
niittee will be held on the 18th to
make final arrangements.
Notwithstanding an unusual number
of events in town last night, the at
tendance was very fair, nearly filling
the double room of the Merchants AS,
scciation in the Alexander Young
Hotel. DR.. w. G. Rogers headed a
special delegation from the Waialae,
Kaimuki and Palolo club, and S. Ma
helona one from the Palama-kai club.
President E. A. Berndt first called
for the reading of the report of the
special committee on tenements,
which having been done by Secretary
W. j. Cooper the report was received
and placed on file without discussion.
Mott-smith Speaks.
E. A. Mott-Smith, president of the
Board Of Health, was then called on
and gave an address. He commended
the work already done by the Com
mittee and anticipated good results
from the work it was now undertaking.
Hawaii had a most healthful situation
and ought not to be troubled with
epidemic diseases, and as matter
of fact nearly all of its serious troubles
had been handed to it." Unless the
people aided the authorities in max
ing and keeping Honolulu and the
Territory clean, the work of sanitation
would always be somewhat of failure.
The speaker gave list of the diseases
that had been brought in and spoke of
the danger of yellow fever being add
ed. He promised the assistance of the
territorial and municipal departments,
with all their facilities, toward MAX
ing Cleanup Day a success. At the
same time it should be strictly a citi
zens' movement They might count
on his being out in working clothes
to help on Cleanup Day. His remarks
won frequent applause.

ton covering a general plan of or

HILO, May 30.-The Tribune says;
For some months past opium has been
brought to Hilo by the Wilhelmina and
the Enterprise. AS a result the GUS
toms authorities are now making an
investigation, which they say, will
result in a shake-up in steamship
circles.
For several months past the opium
has been brought here, and the Snug
glers grew quite confident owing to
the fact that there was apparently
no watch kept on the vessels for dope.
But the federal authorities were not
asleep, and were just waiting for a
good opportunity to descend on the
vessels. This opportunity occurred,
when the authorities, represented by
Marshal Hendry and four customs Of
ficers, accompanied by United States
District Attorney Breckons, came to
Hilo in the Claudine to await the ar
rival of the Enterprise. When that
vessel arrived yesterday morning she
was boarded by the customs officers
and a thorough search was made for
opium.
Up until a late hour yesterday aft
ernoon no opium had been found.
Nevertheless, Felise Ludrek, the chief
cook, was placed under arrest. The
charge against Ludrek is that on the
last trip of the Enterprise to Hilo
he brought ashore twelve tins of OPT
UNI, which he left here to be sold.
A Queer Story.
Ludrek is said by the authorities to
have told a strange story of how he
got mixed up with the dope. He
said that when the vessel was in San
Francisco, he met a stranger who Of
fered to sell him twelve tins of the
contraband stuff for 500. AS opium
was then selling at $50 a tin in San
Francisco, he could not resist the
bargain, and bought it When he
came to Hilo he left it with a friend
with instructions to sell it for $40
tin. The authorities do not believe
this story, and think that Ludrek is
mixed up with other members of the
crew, and a number of its members
will probably be held either in Hilo or
in Honolulu to testify when the mat
ter comes before the courts.
In the meantime the Enterprise
story is not the most spectacular OF
the cases which the authorities have
been taking up here in Hilo. 1t APP
pears that when the Wilhelmina was
in port a short time ago, bunch OF
opium was brought ashore from here,
and hereby hangs a tale which may
result in grievous complications.
According to the authorities, on the
evening of Thursday, May is, three
officers of the Wilhelmina came ashore
in boat. One of them had with him
suit case containing opium.
Police Got $50.
The authorities are working on the
theory that two police officers, Lieut.
enant kama and officer Kama,
stopped this officer on the Wa'aloa
river bridge, and that they detained
him, that subsequently Captain Peter

OPIUM INVESTIGATION ON HAWAII
LEADS TO POLICE BRIBERY CHARGE

son telephoned to Agent Balding, who
was at the time eating his dinner at
the hotel, that the officer in question
had been arrested. Then, according
to the belief of the authorities, Bald
ing went with a couple of friends
whom he happened to pick up, to the
Peterson and the officer, whom they
found across the river at the Lucas
saloon. Here, it is alleged, some talk
followed between the police officers
and the officer of the Wilhelmina, the
upshot of which was that fifty dollars
was borrowed from one of Baldings
friends which sum was given to the
police officers in order to get the Will
helmina man out of their clutches.
1t does not seem that Balding and
Captain Peterson, or the friends of
the former are alleged to have known
that opium was involved, and the
police officers deny the story that they
accepted a bride. AS a matter of fact
they tell the officials that they did not
see any suit case or know about any
opium at all.
On the other hand, on the Friday
following the night in question, these
officers told a Tribune representative
that they had stopped the 'haole"
from the Wilhelmina, that he asked
them what was their authority to do
so, and that they told him that they
were officers, whereupon he told them
that he had corned beef in his suit
case. They said further that a couple
of hours later the "haole" came to
them and told them that he had lost
his suit case, and that he would give
them $50 if they found 1t for him.
The stories told by the officers vary,
and Sheriff Pua, as well as the federal
authorities, are now trying hard to
get at the facts of the matter. The
sheriff states that if he finds that the
officers are guilty of the charge or
which they are suspected, they will
be discharged from the force.
In the meantime the Enterprise is
being watched, and Marshal Hendry
and District Attorney Breckons will
remain in Hilo until Friday looking
further into dope matters.
Engineer in Trouble.
Correspondence Of The Starr
HILO, May 3O.-Chief Engineer Bar
ker, OF the Matson steamer Wilhel-
nina, will probably find himself in
trouble If the stories which are told
here are true. 1t is stated that he
brought some opium ashore in suit
case on May IS, when the Wilhelmina
was in this port and was held up by
two local police officers, Lieut.. Kama
and Patrolman Kama, at the Waia-
kea bridge. He got hold of Captain
Peterson, who has charge of the Mat
son warehouse work, who later tele-
phoned to Ralph Balding, the local
head of Brewer & Co., who are the
local Matson agents, and got released
for fifty dollars.
Balding, 1t is understood, thought

and borrowed it from DR.. w. H. Schoe-

this carried. On motion by Kelekolio

The suspension of the rules then
ceased, and Ewaliko made a speech
