LITTLE. INTERVIEWS


ADJUTANT GEN. JONES-There is
a fair chance now to get back the drill
shed site for National Guard armory.
A. @. MARCALLINO-The Stars
will win out tomorrow, though Eddie
Fernandez will be an absentee. 1t is
up to the Stars to make good this
time.
EDITOR AFFONSO-I am quite serl-
Gus when l say the Portuguese will
win tomorrow Everybody thought
they would lose last week. but they
didn't.
ANTON KAOO-I'm going to run
in the Maui marathon. If l win I'll
get what's coming to me, and that's
more than l have done in Honolulu,
sometimes.
]. L. C. ATKINSON-The new Ten
jim Maru fishing boat will beat most
of the steamers in these waters when
she is finished The trial trip will take
place tomorrow.
CAPTAIN JAMES-That address in
The Star last night by DR.. Clark was
one of the finest things l have read
concerning the importation of planta-
ton laborers into this port.
C. S. DESKY-The Sam Allen prop
erty on King and Alakea is one of the
best business holdings in the city but
| hear that Mrs. Allen will not permit
it to be sold during her lifetime.
]. S. FASSETT-There would have
been facilities to fight the fire on Pa
cific Heights if the department had
been supplied with motor engines to
get there and had found enough water
EDITOR MATHESON-MoPe Asso-
ciated Press matter comes here tn
used to, at least, it does to the Ad-
vertiser, and there will be still more if
the Associated Press makes this re-
lay point for news for and from the
Orient.
R. A. JORDAN expect the coro
nation day cricket match to be wit
messed by larger gathering than has
ever before been the case at a match
in Honolulu. The ground is ideal,
both from players and a scenic
point of view.
FRED TURRILL-Incubator chicks
must be kept for time in a tempera-
ture which is nearly that of the incu-
bator Itself. That is when they are
removed for rearing purposes. Chills
and cramp will otherwise work havoc
among the chicks.
PRESIDENT MOTT-SMITH - We
are going to proceed against violators
OF the new nuisance law, irrespective
of whether they be big men or small.
We have to look at the matter from
the standpoint of the public health
and not from that of business.
R. N CORBALEY-Th mosquitoes
at Kaimuki are not nearly so bad as
they are at Kahului Except for the
'skeeters, however, there are lots of
worse places to have to live in than
the township by the bay. The good
fellows in that district make one over
look minor annoyances.

WALT MASON.

r. X. BONINE-The hundredth an
niversary of the birth of DR.. j. w.
Draper occurred last month. He was
the first person to make a photograph
ic portrait of a human being. This
was in New York and Washington Irv-
ing's magazine, The Knickerbocker,
spoke of it as IAN object of curiosity
and admiration"
G. K. YAP-There was a misunder-
standing about the Chinese team and
its managers. Neither Sam Hop nor
myself knew that anyone else was
organizing the team until we saw it
in the Star AL We want to see is the
Chinese players on the diamond, and
We are willing to pull together for the
best interest of the team.
ARMY OFFICER-"Exrlo sive D."
lately mentioned in the Star was not
invented by Maxim, as has been stat
ed, but by Col. Beverly w. Dunn, of
the Ordinance Department, who gave
it to the government. A shell con-
tanning it can be hammered to pieces
without exploding the charge. 1t acts
with time fuse and blows up after
tine armor has been penetrated.
MOTOR OFFICER ABREU-I do
not think that the chauffers can bo
prevented from worrying people get
ting off the boats. Thee is nothing in
the ordinances to the effect that pas
sengers must not be worried. We are
not arresting many people TO viola
tions of the ordinances. but we are
warning a lot, and you know a warning
is sometimes as good as an arrest.
EDITOR AFFONSO-I do hope
that the revolutionists and the vol
canoes in Mexico will quit for a while
SO that we may be able to get UNPAID
ded telegr ans from the civilized world.
This thing of reporting a battle be-
tween seven generals and three priv
ates on one side and a like number of
both on the other is really beginning to
work on the nerves of the average
newspaper man.
JOHN SMITH-Liliuokalani speaks
like a Queen / once telephoned her
to ask about Washington doctor who
claimed to have been physician to the
Royal family long ago, giving his full
name. Her reply was delivered
through her secretary as follows Her
Majesty says the name is quite for
eign to her" Now l contend that the
answer was phrased in queenly way
and would never have come from
cCmmoner of any station.
PROF. ALEXANDRIA, Holo Ala
Z Club may be interested to know that
in the spring of 1850 four schoolboys
from Punahou scaled the ridge at the
head of Manoa Valley, near Mount
Olympus, and descended the precipice

then walked to the Nuuanu Pail, as

TONKIN FARM, 408 ACRES,
BRINGS $4,000 AT SALE

r. G. Tonkin has sold his farm
of 4O6 acres south Of the city to
Joseph M. Baier, the well known
stockman near Elmo, for $4,000,
about $40 an acre. The farm was
taken under foreclosure in the 's0's
by the Travellers Insurance Co. and
sold to Mr.. Tonkin in 1898 for $14'-
500. He has spent about $4,000 in
buildings and has received a fine in
come all these years, so the increase
in value is practically velvet. The
farm is a fine one. Except 80 acres
Of woodland it is all rich farming
land. Mr.. Baier will raise thorough
bred hogs and put in an extensive
dairy herd. He is a hustler and will
make this a great stock farm. He
takes possession March 1, 1912,
Mr.. Tonkin left today for San
Juan, Texas, where with H. 3. Nick
les, formerly of Hope, he will start
a bank.

CATTLE FEEDERS ARE BUSY.
Long Trains Take Western Stock to
Market.

The cattle feeders over the west
ern part of the state have been ship
ping out their cattle. The pastures
became so dry that they promised
no longer to support the cattle. Sun
day afternoon one special cattle train
Of about 40 cars passed through Abb
lene bound for Kansas City. These
cars had been shipped from points
between Russell and Ellsworth. The
cattle were not in very good condi-
ton, there being only few cars Of
fat cattle In the train. This morn
ing two special cattle trains came
through Abilene from off the Lin
colmn branch. These two trains had
75 cars. Fred Fuller the car man
at the sallna U. P. depot estimated
that there would be 500 cars Of cat
tie shipped through Abilene this
week for Kansas City.
The pastures over the western part
of the state have been drying up. It
was impossible for the feeders to get
hay or corn TO fatten the cattle on
before they shipped. sosthey shipped
them right off the grass.
The rain Sunday morning has,
temporarily at least, checked condi-
tions. These cattle were being ship
ped out Of the state at an enormous
loss. II is reported on reliable auth
GRITTY. that some individual eatqe
raissrs have lost $4,000 or more m

the amount on further sales. These

Passengers Say He Stood on Bridge
and Threatened Them With
Pistol.

Santa Barbara, Cal, July 10.-W. L.
Carlton, purser Of the steamer Santa
Rosa admits that IA Of the passengers
are missing.
A horrifying story Of the experience
of passengers on the wrecked steam
err was told here by John Barclay OF
San Francisco, who, with his wife,
was q passenger on the vessel. Mrs.
Barclay Is probably fatally Ill from
exposure. Barclay said:
Captain Faria was the most brutal
man that l have ever met. Armed
with a big pistol he stood at the
bridge and threatened men and
women when they approached, beg
ging 10 be sent ashore.
at was only when the ship began
to break up and the men passengers
went TO Faria in a body and threat
ened violence, that preparations were
made to take the crowd ashore"
W. H. BssIg. electrical engineer OF
the United states submarine Pike
which was one Of the vessels which

TREE BUYERS ARE NERVOUS.
Catalpa Purchasers Contracted fol
$4,000 Worth.

An agent for an Indiana nursery
was here last spring and made con-
tracts for about 100000 worth Of
Seeding trees Of the catalpa speciosa
at ~ cents each. Farmers bought
$3.50 to 5000 worth eaCh. They
are to be delivered in October. The
Agricultural College has issued a
circular warning against buying these
trees. Experts say the exact nature
of the tree cannot be determined
until the tree lis fur years old.
These will be only one year old. So
the buyers will meet at the court
house Saturday to talk 1t over and
see If they can get out Of their con-
tracts. If they had patroniEed home
nurserymen they would have no
trouble. Catalpas are supposed to
be very profitable but like Belgian
hares nobody seems to get rich
handling them.

These white caps are already becom-

HAS BEEN IN Is WRECKS.


Harrington, July Hilary Camp
bell, who has been conductor on the
Rock Island for the past eleven years
says the Times, has passed the UNI
lucky number Of wrecks according
to tradition. The one last week at
Zyba in which he lost most Of his
clothes by the burning Of the ca
boose was thirteenth wreck he has
been In during the eleven years that
he has worked for the Rock Island
company. Though some Of them
were quite disastrous he has escap-
ed uninjured. Last week, while they
were switching at a small station
near Peck, a wreck occurred by which
he lost all his clothes he had with
him, and a diamond stud worth $3.50,
by the fire that caught in the caboose
and burned 1t up.
According to Harry's story they
were switching cars, and the caboose,
together with a few other freight
cars were left ON the main line. A
coupling refused to work, and 1t be-
came apparent that the trailing
freight would hit them. He sig
nailed them and notified the passen-
gers in the caboose to get out, not
having time to get his clothing. After
the wreckage had been cleared away,
Mr.. Campbell found his pocket book
containing two $40 bills and some
small change on the top Of the en-
CINE. A diamond shirt stud that
was left in a shirt was lost, together
with about $50 worth of clothing he
had with him. Harry was In just
as good humor the next morning
as II nothing had happened.
