JUDGE LYMER QUITS
THE BOARD OF HEAL TIL
Will Remain as Legal Adviser,
but Name Disappears
From Payroll.

The special legal department of the
board of health passed out of existence
yesterday, with the retirement of Judge
William B. Lymer as active legal ad-
wiser of the board, and of H. r. Jor.
dan, his secretary. The bureau came
into existence several months ago, as a
result of the strenuous sanitary and
antimosquito campaign, then being
waged. Lymer was engaged when the
kicks began to come in, and has held
down the legal lid.
Lymer will remain the legal adviser
of the board in connection with mat
tiers having to do with the work he
has been handling, but the legal head
quarters have been given up, and he
is no longer on regular salary.
1t is quite possible that there will
be good deal more litigation before
the banana cutting feature of the anti
mosquito campaign is done with. Work
is being done to collect damage claims
with view to filing a suit against the
individual members of the special sani-
tation commission, and the board of
health, for losses claimed from the de-.
struction of banana trees.
In view of the decision by the SUI
preme court, to the effect that the
banana regulation was Illegal, an at
tempt is being made to form COM
bination of those who claim damages
and bring a general action against
members of the special sanitation com
mission.

struction of the shed over the new

of the wharf be done with ohia slabs.

nor west. This is to be complete ninety
days after the award is made.
The opening of tenders for the shed
has been set to May j in order to give
possible bidders an opportunity to
write TO the-Coast for prices on cargoes
of lumber. The superintendent was
also given authority to call for tenders
for rails for two sets Of track to be
laid ON the wharf, to connect with the
tracks of the o. R. & l.. Company and
the Rapid Transit company.
The Matson Navigation Company
hopes to get possession of the new

.L|L|UOKALAN| IS
CONTRIBUTOR TO THE
Famine RELIEF FUND
(From Thursday Advertiser)

Queen Liliuokalani has encouraged
the Chinese ladies soliciting funds for
the famine sufferers in China by not
only sending generous check, but by
accompanying this with words of sym
pathy and cheer. The Queen Is name
does not appear among the published
list of contributors for the reason that
the list to which she has given is one
being handled entirely by committee
of Chinese women headed by Mrs. Il.
w. Damon, which committee set for it..
self the task of raising at least $3.50
for the general fund. Yesterday the
ladies had turned in over a thousand
dollars, with Others yet to report.
There are eight committees in all at
work and the grand total to date is n
large one. Naturally the "foreign"
list is the larger in amount, but the
contributions from the Chinese them
selves are by no means inconsiderable.
In addition to the money subscribed,
thirty-eight crates, boxes and barrels
of clothing have been collected, these
going forward to Shanghai by the s. s..
China on Tuesday The value of the
clothing, much of which was compare.
lively new, is set down at $4,000.
There were number of contribu-
tions to the "foreign list yesterday,

MORTAR CARRIAGE
BREAKS UNDER TEST

The second projectile fred from one
of the Fort Ruger mortars yesterday
morning broke the traversing gear
pedestal. That ended the tests for the
day. They are to be finished today
The accident to the gun carriage was
not sufficient to put the gun out of COM
mission, and as an additional pedestal
is in the stores of the ordnance depart
ment, the gun can easily be reftted.
The accident occurred when the
heaviest charge ever used here was en-
ployed. The charges used on Tuesday
were normal. Yesterdays charges were
far above normal and tested the gun to
the limit
1t is possible that the break may
have resulted from flaw. The experts
will make a minute examination to de-
termine the cause. If the heavy charge
is too much for the carriage a new
system of manufacture may be adopted.

4 WEDDING LUAU
0kinawans Demand Dismissal Of
Luna and Quit Work When
Command Is Ignored.
(FrOm Thursday,s Advertiser.l

(From Thursdays Advertiser.)
Four hundred Japanese laborers have
gone on strike at Paia plantation, is
land of Maui, according to a wireless
received yesterday by the Nippu Jiji.
The Jill reports a grave situation as a
result of the strike, which was preci-
pitated by row at wedding luau.
1t appears that when the luau was at
a pretty lively stage, Paia luna and
plantation policeman tried to stop the
hilafity. There was fight, and the
next day the laborers made a demand
upon the plantation manager that he
discharge the luna and the policeman
The demand was refused, and the strike
resulted.
The strikers are Okinawans-Japa-
nese from the prefecture of Olxinawa
They waited upon the manager Monday
with their demand for the discharge
of the luna, a Japanese named Kuwa-
hara. The demand was fatty refused,
and the japanese not only quit work,
but left the plantation camps.
The wedding celebration which
urday night, at one of the Paia camps.
Sake flowed very freely during the
evening. Suddenly Kuwahara and a
plantation policeman dashed in and
ordered the revelry to stop. A free
fight followed, and Kuwahara and his
companion were almost beaten to death.
Both were taken to the plantation hos.
pital for treatment

kauai EDITOR
REAPS PILIKIA
Warrant Issued Charging Him
With Contempt Of Court
Hearing This Morning.

Judge W. j. Robinson started things
off with a bang when he arrived at
Lihue yesterday, having been designat-
ed by the chief justice to take the
place of Judge Hardy in the trials Of
the fourteen japanese indicted for
murder of Japanese policeman. Judge
Hardy is i'll and substitute from Ho.
nolulu was wirelessed for on Sunday.
Judge Robinson landed on Kauai
yesterday morning and the first thing
shown him was a copy of the local
newspaper, the Garden Island, of which
E. B. Bridgewater is editor. Then, ac-
cording to wireless advices to The Ad.
vertiser, things began to happen.
The heavy editorial of the Kauai pa
per consisted of roast of the author
tiles for keeping certain of the indict-
ed Japanese in Jail. The leader vent1r-
ed the prediction that at least some of
the ones charged with murder were in
nocent and announced that there was
no good reason for holding them.
The Honolulu judge got busy and by
noon bench warrant had been issued,
charging Editor Bridgewater with con.
tempt of court and cordially inviting
him to appear to show cause why he
should not go to Jail himself, along
with those on trial whom he was de-
Tending in his journal.
Mr.. Bridgewater will be before the
judge this morning.

PLENTY OF COAL IN
NAVAL STATION HERE

That the 10000 odd tons of coal now
in reserve in this city on the naval
reservation and elsewhere, is sufficient
for all feet purposes for many months,
is the statement of naval officials when
seen about the threatened famine of
coal which confronts the navy depart
ment Of the mainland.
During the past four months a large
amount of coal has been taken by the
cruisers which have been in port, but
fully half the amount here when they
arrived is still on hand.

Government Trying to Show That
Combine Bought to Close
Plants.
OCTOPUS LAWYERS DENY IT
Say Factories Purchased Have
Not Been Closed-MereIy
Moved.

NEW YORK, March 2l.-Develop-
ments in the trial of the officials of the
sugar trust, yesterday began to take
a sensational trend, which indicates the
trial with drag for months. The "Cou-
sin Dave letters" bobbed up again early
in the day and it became evident that
they will be admitted into evidence.
These letters are said to contain evil
dence of many of the secret transac-
tions of the trust, and much informa-
ton of the inner history OF the corpora
tion. They constitute part of cor
respondence between Washington B.
Thomas former president of the com.
bine and one Stetson, anent informa-
ton obtained form Unarles Segal.
Still another development which
promises rich mine for government
probers came to light later in the af.
ternoon. 1t followed on the heels of
the desperate fight made by the attor-
neys for the accused men against the
introduction of evidence that the trust
had been in the habit of purchasing
rival plants and then closing them up.
This, said District Attorney Henry A.
Wise, has been the customary policy of
the trust for years. Mr.. Wise asserts
that thirty or forty of such plants were
bought only to be shut down as soon
as acquired, with the exception of four.
In their denial of the assertion, which
the United States attorney says he can
easily prove, the trust attorneys de-
clare that the policy of the company
was not TO close these nIants hnt to
move the machinery which the corpora
tion bought with them to other and
more central points of operation.

negotiations which have been going on
for several days are said to have failed
