Acts in Reciprocity
Matters.
NOT REPUBLICANlSM
Committee Recommends
DismissaIs in State
Department.

WASHINGTON, June 2e.-Two In
surgent senators yesterday attacked
the actions of President Taft in con-
nection with Canadian Reciprocity
Cummins, of Iowa, and Borah Of Idaho.
Their statements have caused some
thing of a sentation at the Capitol.
Senator Cummins, during the discus

congress and had exceeded his power
in dealing with foreign nations upon
revenue matters.
Borah Also Aggressive.
Senator Borah stated that the Pres
ident did not represent the majority
of Republicans in congress nor in the
country, in reciprocity matters.

FULL OF SURPRISES
IS WAIKIKI SUIT
TANGLE OF RIGHTS IN LEASE IS
CAUSE OF DELAY IN
HEARING.

Full of surprises was yesterdays
hearing of the Waikiki fertilization
condemnation suit. In the first place
the afternoon session actually COM
menced with no objection before the
court. W. R. Castle gave evidence that
he valued his part of the property, for
taxation purposes, last January at
$500, but later he swore, in the con-
proceedings, that the value
of one-half was $4,000. District At
torney Breckons brought this out on
cross-examination for the government.
Mr.. Castle explained that he had an
agreement with the tax assessor that,
on account of the uncertainty as to
whether the land would ne taken by the
government, it should be taxed at
$4,000. He also said the property was
greatly deprecated about that time, on
account of the uncertainty.
Mr.. Wilmington fled as an exhibit a
surrender by Thomas G. Dawkins Of a
lease from Mr.. Castle of about an acre
of the land and the premises thereon,
on the waterfront.
District Attorney Breckons objected
to the instrument being put in for the
reason that the government could not
be bound by a surrender made after
the commencement of the suit, and par
ticularly after the beginning of the
trial. He declared that as the United
States has forfeited, by its condemna-
tion proceedings, any rights Mr.. Daw-
kins has, under the lease, he could not
revive those rights by surrendering, or
otherwise.
Mr.. Wilmington eontended that where
surrender was made after the CON
demnation the landlord was entitled TO
the compensation. els it the theory of
the law that the United States is com
ing into court TO get peoples rights
by some technical default7D he asked.
~ do not think it isl he added. "The
interest of the sublessee arises out of
our interest"
Judge Clemens overruled Mr.. Brock.
ohs' objection and noted an exception
by the district attorney.
Mr.. Wilmington later asked Mr. Cas-
tie what was the value Of the leasehold
interest on the land mauka of Kalia
road, for nine years.
Attorney Olson, for Noholoa, object.
ed on the ground that Mr.. Castle and
Kanakanui have no interest in that
part of the land sought TO be con.
demned. This started a discussion dur.
ing which the jury we're excused
Judge Clemens will give decision on
the point today.
An amusing incident occurred when
court was opened. 1t is usual for all
those in the courtroom to show theiI
resDect to the Judge by standing uu
when he enters and remaining SO unit
TO be already in his seat when the
bailiff motioned to his honor to stand

IS INVESTIGATING
KOOLAULOA AFFAIR
(From Thursdays Advertisor.)


Sheriff Jarrett is conducting a fur
ther examination into the Koolauloa
affair in which it is claimed that Dep
uty Sheriff Naone assisted at drunk
EN- orgy which was followed by the
death of one of the jewellers beneath
the wheels of hand car which was
again followed by his refusal to hold
an inquest over the body according to
law. The sheriff held a conference
with the city attorney yesterday on
the law of the matter and will be
guided by the advice he received.
The law states that deputy sheriff
need not hold an inquest if he is sure
that there was no foul play and at the
present time Sheriff Jarrett has no evil
denee in his hands pointing in any way
to the existence of such. He thinks,
however that there is a chance of some
coming to light that will prove
that an inquest was imperative, even
If it is not conclusive of foul play.
Three weeks have passed since the re-
puted accident and if Lakana's death
was due at all to quarrel among the
drunken men In which he was pushed
off, the jewellers have had time to
sober up and prepare to evade respon-
sibility, as they would not have been
able to do if the inquest had been held
at the proper time.
Deputy City Attorney Milverton was
approached yesterday for information
regarding the status of the case but
with his usual courteous but firm
refusal to divulge his share in public
business to the public stated that he
would refuse to discuss the matter at ali
with his particular questioner at that
mon emit, gazing at the same time with
dreamy solieitude at the open door az
If he was afraid something was going
10 leave him.
If Sheriff Jarrett verifes his suspi
eions he viii probably at once address
a letter 70 the board Of supervisor
asking for the impeachment OF Deputy
Sheriff Naone

NO OPPOSITION TO
new FOREST RESERVE

No opposition developed yesterday
at the public hearing held by the Gov
ernor and the board of agriculture and
forestry to consider the setting apart
as forest reserve of 1880 acres at
Puma, Island of Hawaii. The hearing
was at the Office of the board of agri.
culture, where maps and descriptions
of the land have been on file since
June o.
The chief value of this land is, of
course, for its timber. 1t has been
set aside as a forest reserve chiefly
to bring it under the control Of the
board of agriculture That board,
through it's forestry officers, win super.
intend the cutting of timber. There
is a license already issued for cutting
some of this.
"This will be subject to the super
vision and direction, more or less, of
the forestry officers, the same as is
the case ON the mainland said Gov.
ernor Frear yesterday afternoon. The
board viii see that the timber ID
properly cut and all that sort Of thing,
The instant advantage just now Is that
the revenue win come 10 the board and
so help II out a little in its strained
finances

feature to the show.
If the idea of the enthusiasts in ar.
ranging for "sHibiseus Day. was to
create interest in thar particular
flower they were successful to high
degree for twenty persons, If not more,
made notes ON the varieties they liked
the best and made arrangements to Sc
cure cuttings and join the ranks of the
cultlrists. Approximately two thou

time the doors were opened at eleven

movers for "Hibiscas Dayr were busy
in the rooms from eight O'cloek in the
morning until eleven, the opening hour.
No such enthusiastic response to the call
for exhibits had been anticipated and
those in charge were overwhelmed
with the vast number of flowers that
were received. AS far as possible an
example of every variety was placed
on the tables, but there were neverthe-
less many that the public was not in
trodueed to.
In arranging the flowers, the mani
fold opportunities for color arrange
ment were not forgotten and Mrs.
Wilder chose a makai corner of the
exh biting room Off the deepest red,
where the choicest of the darker beau.
ties were arranged. Graduating off ON
each side into lighter reds and pinks
until finally at the extreme ends the
tables were covered with yellows and
whites, the scene was a pretty one.
A koa table in the center Of the room
on which the chOicer flowers were set,
added to the attractiveness and on the
rail separating the offices of the com
mittee from the show rooms ran line
of other productions of hibiscus art.

The promotion committee rooms in
the Young Hotel bailding yesterday
afternoon took on gayer appearance
than has been there for long time
when what is practically the first flow
err show in the Hawaiian Islands was
held by the hibiscus enthusiasts OF Ho-
nolulu. Over two hundred and sixty
flowers or groups were on exhibition,
demanding all the containers that were
to be had and leaving many more
baskets of posies uncared for in the
rear for want of exhibiting room.
OF the two hundred odd flowers ex-
hibited, the great majority were but
single blooms, each delicately colored
flower in its own container, but along
the walls were set jars full of great
masses of exquisite flowers. Eighteen
of the varieties represented, (and every
exhibit represented different Variety
were imported. A very small part of
the balance were indigenous to Oahu,
or to the other islands in the Hawaiian
group, and all the rest were the result
of the careful labors of the hibiscus
culturists, artificial productions result
ing from the crossing of other plants.

Especial correspondence.)


HIJo, June 26.-Leland Stanford
CONFESS, editor of the Hawaii Herald
and street railroad promoter, furnished
Hilo with another excitement last
week and is billed for a continuous
performance SO long as Madame Lam.
bert, the Honolulu dressmaker, is in
town. The Honolulu lady administered
thrashing to the editor on Monday,
following this up with the declaration
that she intends to do it again, while
on top of all comes challenge to Mr..
CONFESS from friend of Madame
Lambert, which gives the moulder of
public opinion in the Crescent City the
choice of publicly apologizing to the
lady or meeting her friend in duel
a la morte.
The rag and the bone and the hank
of hair episode, as .Kipling would de-
scribe it, is the result of a jocular
story which appeared in the last edi-
ton of the Herald, in which the name
of Madame Lambert figured conspicu-
ously. The lady was riled and selected
nice bit of koa and started out on
the warpath. Whether CONFESS receiv-
ed any warning or not or whether his
Office boy is carefully drilled for all
occasions, is not known, but the irate
lady was never able to find the editor
in his Office. After repeated calls she
adopted different tactics and began to
haunt the drygood stores, where she
finally landed her quarry, in the Hilo
Emporium, in company with two Of
Hilo's leading society young ladies.
fAre you the editor Of the
Herald7" she asked, in sweetest tone.
"Yes, madam, what may have the
honor of doing for youi" said the gal
liant editor.
"You may take this, y said the lady,
wherenpon she produced her koa cane
and slammed the editor where he wears
his hat. Conness staggered and his fair
companions screamed. Then the blows
came thick and fast, with Conness
backed between the ribbon show case
and corset model, as far as he could
go in that direction. Retreat was cut
of, as the lady had taken up a stra-
getic position between the enemy and
the door.
The editor had finally to take the
aggressivedefensive and grabbed the
now screaming lady by the wrists. The
two wrestled across the Emporium hx-
lures, Madame Lambert informing the
whole HilO world that CONFESS was no
gentleman to treat lady in this way.
Finally the pair staggered out upon
the sidewalk, where round two was an.
nouneed. BY this time half the popu-
lation of the city was in the ring
formed.
CONFESS hung on to the wrists like
grim death. The lady brought up the
heavy artillery and landed a punch
with her right foot on the editorial
solar plexus. Handicapped by hobbies,
: she nevertheless duplicated with her
left shoe and someone began 20 count.
Seeing the futility Of holding hands
under the circumstances. CONFESS re-.
sorted 70 footwork, dropping the wristG
and heading for the buFgIarpFO0i
