HIS PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE IN
THIS CITY.


Won Motx's search for an American
Uride with money began IN 1907 when he
successfully courted Mrs. Russell, then
residing In q handsomely furnished
apartment at No. s3s West One Hundred
and Sixteenth street. She was the
daughter Of Edward Jacob McGavock,
one OF the wealthiest residents of Nash
willie. from whom she inherited many
negotiable bonds. That she was deeply
Impressed by the Baron she admitted.
Mrs. Russell charged she had sent her
nance to pledge a Jewel valued at 800,
that he had received $500 for the gem
n kept $40 for himself. This little
matter might have been smoothed over
had not the baron made arrange
ments to wed Mrs. Onita Conord. a
rich and beautiful Spaniard. at that
time living in luxurious apartments at
The Waldorf-Astoria.
The Widow Russell heard Of the sud-
den transfer Of Won MOTIFS affections
or the day the wedding was to take
place and she lost no time In applying
for . warrant In the Harlem Police
Court. This was placed In the hands OF

Honolulu Suburban Real
Estate is Absolutely
no Mistake

VE1E attention Of the entire world
is becoming conferred upon the
Pacific and the Hawaiian ISL
ands, and because of this the
sooner you become the owner Of few
thousand feet of our splendid residential
soil the quicker you will profit in the
assured development Of our remarkable
city.
This Company is not trying to sell
you property based upon any muSh-
room future or real estate boom, but is
offering you a chance to get in on the
ground floor and benefit by the sure
and certain prosperity that is coming
to Honolulu.
We call your attention to the hun
dreds of millions of dollars now being
expended in constructing the Panama
Canal and the building Of our military
Notifications, and ask you what it all
will mean to Honolulu in the near flu
ture. 1t means placing us fifty years
ahead at single bound. No Ameri-
can city ever confronted a more prom
ising future-a future so replete with
wealth and prosperity that we can
scarcely realize it at this time. Our
possibilities in every line of production
and manufacture are unlimited. Our
diversified agricultural interests will
bring enormous wealth; our geographical
position will make us the worlds COM
mercial distributing center; our climat-
ical advantages offer residential par
adise that can not be excelled, and our
military developments will make Homo
lulu the greatest military and naval
base.
We want you to buy Honolulu real
estate because we know that you will
profit by it many fold We want you
to buy on PaIoIo Hill because we know
that we are selling it cheaper today
than it will ever again be sold for, and
because we know that the hills and
higher elevations are the locations
where the people will build beautiful
suburban homes. Our suburban prop
erty offers the best real estate invest
ment in Honolulu today.

An Investment in Real Estate
is as Good as the Best and
Better than the Rest

Better than the Rest
YOU can ask any conservative
" investor in Hawaii and if he
does not tell you that Real
Estate is our best investment,
then ask him why is it that all our
large estates are holding rather than
selling Honolulu property. Do you
find any one selling his property and
putting the money into sugar stocks?
No, Of course not. Not because stocks
are no good, but because they are more
or less speculative and subject to hnan-
cial and political disturbances; whereas
real estate is the only sound and SEN
sible investment and will increase con-
stantly in value in the assured and stable
development of our city.
All the Estates and Trust Funds in
the Islands have practically all their
capital invested in bonds or real estate.
Why don't you be wise and follow the
example of the careful business men
who invest in absolute certainties? They
cannot afford to take chances, and
when they look 10 place their money
and the money intrusted to their keep
ing they turn to Real E.state-the only
SURE INVESTMENT and Sc
CURITY.
PALOLO HILL property is a gilt
edge investment. 1t has every physical
condition to make it SURE. IN
VESTMENT and SECURITY for
every dollar you can put into it. You
must get your eyes on the remarkable
Improvements we have made and are
continually making in our magnificent
PALOLO HILL TRACT to fully
understand the opportunity we offer
you. Our property is in the straight
pathway to secure every condition of
development that will come to Homo
lulu Destiny has marked out bril-
liant future for PALOLO HILL, and
every day is fulfilling our expectations.
Now is the hour for you to invest and in
coming years you will thank your lucky
star that you were wise enough to do so.

turning their attention to the raising
of such crops as cotton, rice, ssal,

The valuable work of the Expert

Higgins) will, in the course of a few
years, practically revolutionize the
Islands fruit trade
The best known varieties of man

tropical and sub-tropical fruits are be-

propagated and distributed. While
San Francisco offers a permanent
market for almost every kind of fruit
that can be grown in the Islands, it

opening of the Panama Canal will
bring increased shipping to the har-
bors of Hilo and Honolulu, thus Great

kinds of fresh fruit and vegetables,
as well as farm and dairy produce.
Mr.. Higgins's special and most recent
work is the improvement of the pa.

EXTENSION OF
KAHULUI RAILROAD

Notice has been served on Marston
Campbell superintendent Of Public
Works, to the effect that the Kahuli
Railroad Company, intends to extend
its track from the present terminus
at Paia, to a point five miles farther
on. The extension will tap some fine
homestead lands and will, at once, en-
able pineapple growers and other
small farmers TO readily get their
produce to market
The lands near the Haiku Fruit
Company's cannery win be touched
by the railroad, and the homestead
lots in the immediate vicinity will be
greatly increased in value by the ex.
tension of the railroad.
There are some thirty odd lots of
an average size Of about fifteen acres
available for homesteads. The lands
are suitable for pineapple growing
| and it is thought that the facilities
extended by the railroad will result in
a big development of the pineapple in
Idustry.
The extension of the railroad is one
of the biggest things, from farmers
point of view that has been mooted
for some years. That is the opinion
of all those who know the proposed
extension

he was a helper in the New Orleans

several cases of the disease. No trees

than a sting, was the result"
There was only. one banana plant
in New Orleans which he saw.
The doctor stated that at the Molo-
kai settlement, where he had full
charge of the leprosy investigation
station, there were over 1000 banana
plants growing and close to the place
where he lived and worked, but that
although he was investigating the
possibility of the transmission of lep-
rosy by or through mosquito bites
he did not destroy the plants, but
on the contrary, caused some to he

icile.
The weather was wet. more so
than in Honolulu, he said, and the
banana plants held water when there
was no wind to shake it out. Currie
had banana plants in his garden at
Makih street in Honolulu, until a few
days ago. He said that he cut them
down on general principles.
Examined as to who gave the order
to destroy plants here in Honolulu, he
said that he was not the first to do
so, and that other members of The
committee advocated it.
The examination was exhaustive,
and continued until 1890, when a
recess was taken.
Deputy Attorney General Sutton
had asked to continue the recess till
2 p. m. Mills objected, and urged
that as he had been forced to con
tinue examining till and after the
noon hour, Sutton should take the

Currie was closely examined as TO

showed that he was not even tax.
payer and had no property other than
money in his purse,
DR. Currie also testified that ihe
citizens committee decided not to
order the bananas of plantations de-
stroyed in order that the government
might not be up against expensive
damage suits. It was thought that
| the man with a few bananas in his
yard would not think their destruction
worth while making a fuss about,
This, he said was what prompted
the saving of commercial bananas,
and not the idea that they were less
harmful because they were located as
general thing at some distance from
dwellings.
