Destructive FIRE

A PART OF JAPANESE SECTION
WIPED OUT ON TUESDAY
AFTERNOON.

A fire which started in the Japanese
section of Waialua town on Tuesday
afternoon shortly after four O'Clock,
wiped out four stores and several dwell
ings all occupied by Japanese, the loss
being in the neighborhood of S25O0,
with very little insurance.
The fire started in Japanese soda
water shop from a small lamp which
had been placed on shelf by an old
Japanese. The fame caught the wall
paper and the ceiling was soon in
blaze and then the whole house was
mass of flames.
From the sodawater shop owned by
Tirada the fire spread to tinslnith
shop owned by Kunitsuka, then TO the
hackstand Office Of Fukushima. From
there the flames leaped over to dwell.

Mancharia yesterday from the Orient.
where they have spent several months.
mainly in and around Manila and in
Formosa, inspecting sugar lands and
looking up the prospect for shipping
more sugar mill machinery from Homo
lulu to the countries visited.
Mr.. swanzy states that he made a
deep study Of sugar conditions in Porto
Rico, FormOsa and the Philippines. In
the latter country he visited the big
sugar estate Of the Mindoro Develop
ment Company, where there are fifty
five thousand acres of apparently good
cane land. While there he watched the
erection of mill built by the Homo.
lulu Iron Works.
He looked also over the lands of the
Calamba Estate, which were exploited
by the dizzy fnRncier, Afford Finlay
Thayer, formerly of Honolulu, and
whose present whereabouts are IN
known. These lands Mr.. Swanzy found
to bear rich possibilities for agricul-
tural development.
He later went to Formosa and looked
over the five mills in operation, all built
by the local iron works.
However, he learned that the policy
OF the Japanese government ia now to
limit the production of sugar to an
amount sufficient only for Japanese
consumption.
Mr.. Hedemann found that the Japa-
nese government had decided that no
more machinery was needed for devel-
opment of cane lands, his information
being similar to that obtained by Mr..
Swanzy. He found that the Japanese
are satisfied with the present output
from Formosa from the five mills built
by the Honolulu Iron Works, which are
running full time and giving the best
of satisfaction.

HINT OF OPIUM
IN BIGAMY CASE
AFFIDAVIT UNoovERs LOOSE
ENDS OF AN INSIDE
INVESTIGATION.
tFrOm Saturdays Advertiser,

Is another "opium story" about to
furnish further subject for gossipS
just at present, hiding under con-
fused record of confused legal events
in the various offices of the federal
authorities, are lying the loose ends
of an inside opium investigation. The
only visible indication Jf this investi-
cation which has so far appeared on
the surface is an affidavit Of Lee Hoy,
developer for R. w. Perkins, the pho
tographer, fled in the federal clerk 3
Office. With no direct statement bear
ing on opium, it does, at the same
time, point emphatically at a possibly
eliminating hunt of the federal au-
thorities for the local center of the
Pacific Ring" that mysterious or
ganiSation of dope smugglers.
This affidavit seems to compromise
Jack Roberts, Bert Bower and Willie
Crawford, all of whom are mentioned,
trio not inconsistent with the opium
theory.
Lee Hoy was arrested last week for
bigamy, being granted hearing before
the United States commissioner week
ago yesterday, Jack Roberts and R.
w. Perkins going on his first bond.
The former Is word concerning his in
terest in the Kentucky saloon seemed
to be doubted at that time as the bond
was sworn to two or three times, each
time with a different amendment to it.
The next day, Saturday, al week to-
day. Jack Roberts was himself arrested
for bigamy and is now being held on
that charge. Still later, and the afi-
davit of Lee Hoy appears in the clerk Is
Office, sworn to before Eugene Murphy,
of Lorrin Andrews office, in which the
two names are again coupled and the
intimation of opium is found.
Lee Hoy states in the affidavit that
he was arrested by man who "pur-
ported to be a United States marshal
and whom he afterwards learned was
Marshal e. r. Hendry, a United States
officer, - and brought 10 the Judiciary
building. There he was brought be-
fore body of men who he learned
afterwards were the United States
grand jury There, again, he was told
questions.
Among the questions were those re-
ferring to his purported marriage to
Chang Shee, whom the federal author
tiles claim to be still alive in China,
and to Mary Davis, whom he married
after being hailed before the federal
authorities for alleged misconduct with
her,
After these questions had been
asked, he was further asked if he had
ever been in several saloons which are
named in this affidavit: if he knew
Jack Roberts, Bert Bower or Willie
Crawford; if he knew about the illegal
handling of opium and several other
questions which connected up the sub
jects.
The date of the hearing is not given
nor are the answers to the questions
Meanwhile Roberts and Lee Hoy, at
least. are safe in the hands of the au-
thorities and if there is any further
investigation 30 be made it doubtless
can be made at their leisure.

participation in public affairs. He has
handed in his resignation from the Re-

MASON AND
WALKER TO FLY
AVIATION MEET ARRANGED
BLERIoT BIRDS TO TRY
OUR AIR.
(FrOm satnrday,s Advertiser. }

(tr0m Saturdays Advertiser.)
Two monoplanes and one biplane will
soar over the plan Of Leilehua the lat
ter part Of May and win be sailed by
Mason, the French aviator, and
Walker, an American, both of whom are
expected to arrive here on the wiIhel.
nina next month.
Whipple Hall, the former aviator,
who snce his fall with an aeroplane
last year has confined himself to ar
ranging meets for other birdmen, has
been here couple of weeks and yes
terday departed for Australia on the
Makura to arrange for great meet
there, with Mason and Walker az the
principles. Before leaving he perfected
arrangements through j. T. Scully to
have series of flights on, or over, this
island.
On Sunday Mr.. Scully went to Leile-
hua to have conference with the mill
tary authorities relative to having the
flights on or near the government reser-
Walton and satisfactory arrangement
is said to have been perfected.
Mr.. Scully and Ed Lewis financed
the first aviation meet in Honolulu last
December and January when "Bud''
Mars had the honor of making the first
flight In an aeroplane in the Hawaiian
Islands. The flights were held at
Moanalua polo field, but owing to the
location and the nearness of the
grounds to the city it was difficult to
make the guarantee and the receipts
meet properly. Auto people took ad-
vantage of the fact that by motoring
out to Moanalua and remaining on the
roadway, which is high above the
grounds, they could observe the great
attraction without paying cent.
The meet will be held at LeiIehua
this time and 1t is likely that the mill
tary may arrange so that the free-for-
nothing feature will be eliminated this
time. Mr.. Scully has not made definite
arrangements, but If the meet is held
at Leilehua he will run excursions there
by train.
Mr.. Hall stated yesterday that Mas
son was daring aviator and in his use
of the monoplane developed a tremen-
dous rate of speed. The monoplane is
provided with a single pair of wings
and is the type of machine in which
Bleriot made his trip across the Eng
lish Channel. The machine when far
aloft resembles great bird in fight.
Mr.. Hall also stated that it was DOS
sible that the war department, through
the district military commander, might
designate two army officers to make
flights with the aviators, and if this is
done it would be the first time the army
has taken advantage of the opportunity
to familiarize itself with the local air
currents, with view to undertaking
later on, experiments directly con

SOLD HIS WIFE, IS
now PAYING FOR IT.
(From Saturdays Advertiser.) )

The prices of wives seems to have
gone down during the past year, the
last market quotations appearing ON the
boards of the federal court yesterday
being $l25 per wife. There is a pos
sibility Of this being forced sale, as
the parties interested were neighbors.
Jinemon Muramoto was convicted be-
fore Judge Clemons yesterday of sell
ing his wife to SatO at Waimanafo
some time ago for the price named
above. This is at least $25 off the price
which was recorded in the federal court
previously in similar case. As stated
however, this might have been a con
venienee sale and the quotation there
fore misleading. The man will be SEN
fenced this morning at ten o'clock.

ney Rawlins prosecuted the case, At
