ARRANGEMENT MODERN
Ass'rs Reiehert Ray About Completed for New
Hotel Annex to Fill Occupied by Opera House.
Will Make Room HOTEL Iargeat Western North D.7
kota Improvements. rents VIII Cod 100000 to $4,000.

Representative William G. Ray re-
turned Tuesday night from Fargo where
he had been in consultation with Han
cock Bros., architects for the St. Charles
addition, relative to certain changes
in the plans. q
The details are now practically
settled and Messrs. Reichert and Ray
expect soon to be able to ask for bids.
which they hope to have in by May 1st.
There will be no change in the pres
ent frontage of the St. Charles, which
is. one hundred and twenty-five feet.
The new part will occupy the space
formerly given to the opera house and
will extend back to the alley. It will
be three stories high. On the alley
the entire width of the opera house
space is utilized for a depth of thirty
four feet. In the center next to the
present annex will be a single row of
rooms, leaving an open court twenty
FIVE feet in width along side the east
property line. This is to provide
ample light in case the owners of the
twenty-five feet next to the street east
should erect building at some future
date. The court is large and would
provide air and light in any event.
The addition gives thirty-four large
rooms, ten havint private baths. and
these. with the seventy-ffve now in use,
will enable Messrs. Reichert &. Ray to
care for their patrons very well. The
total cost of the improvements will be
almost $35, 900, including the opera
house. When the one hundred and
nine rooms are in use, it is quite pos.
sible that the present dining-room will
be inadequate and the proprietors figure
that the store room formerly occupied
Fby BodlgeF & Hughes. on Willard stree,
will make an ideal European dining
room and cafe, and could be easily
connected with the kitchen and present
dining-room and give very nice
arrangement.
The opera house is now on the new
site on 1st Avenue East and excavation
will be- made under the stage end fol
dressing rooms. This work as well a.
excavation for the addition. will
begin at once.

0FFEl Of SETTLEMENT.
= UP u. BOND, COMPANIES

Attorney General Andrew Miller had q
conference on Thursday with the Stark
county commissioners and States
Attorney T. F. Murtha regarding the
settlement with bond companies on
account Of forged warrants and it was
decided to make the surety companies
an offer Of settlement.
The principal Of these poor warrants
amounts to. something like S31, 500 and
interest totals the amount to about
$3S, 600. The county has stipulated to
throw off 81, 500 to s., in interest il
the companies will settle promptly and
thus avoid further litigation.
The companies are given ten days in
which to answer. and if they are wise
It is believed they will accept the
proposition.
Attorney Miller says that the county
has good case but it costs money to
carry on litigation and both he and
Attorney Murtha feel that it would be
best to make a little concession and
close the matter. The case came up in
court first at the last jury term when the
question Of prejudice was raised by the
bond companies. Judge W. C. Crawford
has denied the motion. which means
that the action will be tried in Start
county and unless settlement is made it
will come up at the regular May term.

KNOW NOW WHAT
LED TO MURDER

Hakamoto, the Japanese who brutal
ly murdered his countrywoman Yama-
moto Mast, was still living at last ad-
vices from Queens hospital, though
his condition was critical He is not
making the progress expected but all
hopes of his recovery have not been
abandoned. He is terribly cut about
the abdomen but there is still a chance
of his coming through, though the
chance is but a slim one. AS anti
cipated yesterday, the cause of the af-
fray has been traced to jealousy on
the part of Hakamoto, who for some
two years lived with the woman, un-
til she refused to live with him any
longer owing to his drinking propens-
tiles.

of the parties responsible for the Sc

Francisco and have them picked up
at later date by confederates. How
ever, the Honolulu customs authorities
were too keenly on the scent and the
opium is now safely held.
The search continued right up to the
time of the departure of the Siberia
from the wharf and even beyond that,
for a staff of customs officials remain
ed on board the vessel to prosecute
the search further before the vessel
left Hawaiian waters. 1t was expected
that the customs officials would re-
main on board the Siberia until she
reached Koko Head and then make a
landing there.

steward, two firemen and an interpre-
ter being apprehended. The steward
is Maurice Roberts, steerage steward
an American, who is believed to have
had hand in slowing the opium in
the ventilators. Wan Shau, a Chinese
interpreter, is said to have acted in
collusion with Roberts; Au Gan, and
Chong Young, the chief fireman and
one of his assistants, both Chinese
are also being held pending an inves
tigation of the matter. These four
men are now in Marshal Hendry's GUS
tody and there they will remain until
court proceedings are instituted
against them.
The opium seized is worth over Sc,

CASE DELAYED

The Territory lost the first round,
in the Supreme Court this morning, In
the suit to condemn property for the
extension of Bishop street. With
Chief Justice Hartwell dissenting, the
court sustained the exceptions filed by

the suit brought by the superintendent
of public works. The court held that
the plain suit was not properly en-
titled. The term "Marston Campbell,

plaintiff rather than the territory. JUS

Another valuable haul of opium was
made by the Customs officers this
morning, on the Pacific Mail steamer
Siberia, when 10 tins of the drug,
valued at between $4,000 and $4,000,
were seized. -Four men are under ar
rest in connection with the seizure,
and the opium is now in the possess
sion of the Federal authorities.
The Siberia arrived in port yester-
day afternoon and the usual search of
the ship was made, but without bring
ing to light any opium or contraband
matter. This morning, under instruc-
tions from Collector of Customs e. R.
Stackable, a force of officers was put
to work to thoroughly examine the
ship, Collector Stackable having rea-
son to believe that there was some
thing to be discovered After being
at work for some time the first find
was made at about eight o'clock when
thirty three tins of the drug were
found hidden in the engine room.
From the look of the packages en-
closing the tins it seemed as if the
opium had been stored in the coal
bunkers and had been removed to
the engine room while the officers
were searching the ship. After this
discovery the search was continued
with greater zest and the searchers
were rewarded later on by a second
discovery, this time II tins being
brought to light. These tins were
slowed away in the ventilators, aft of
the ship, being right down near the
shafting of the vessel.
The tins were wrapped in paper, tied
together in three packages, and pro-
tected with an outer covering Of can
vas, which was tightly sewed up. This
covering had been tarred and oiled,

HONOLULU PRODUCES NEW CODE,
COPYRIGHTED ALL OVER WORLD

A new cypher code, the author and
promoters of which think it will cir
culate all over the world, has been
published in Honolulu. The author
is Ambrose j. Writ, of H. Hackfeld &
Company. Wirtz has spent upwards
of fourteen years working on the code,
and says he has burned enough mid
night oil over it to fuel the Sierra.
The new feature of the code, invent
ed by Mr.. Wirtz, and copyrighted in
every civilized country, is the idea of
a code within a code, worked out by
the science of trigonometry to such an
extent that there are two hundred and
sixty-two billion possibilities in the
code. Any two phrases in the book,
by the use of simple key, can be
combined in a single word. No other
code has this idea, and experiments
are said to have showed that it allows
sweeping reductions in cable expenses,
Mr.. Wirtz's recent trip was for the
purpose of perfecting the copyrights
