print" SCHOLTZ
NABBED ON COAST

Word was received by mail today
that an arrest of former Honolulan
had taken place on the arrival of the
Wilhelmina at San Francisco.
1t is learned here that the mans
name was Scholtz, who had been on
the printing staff Of the Advertiser.
Previous to his departure several peo-
pie had threatened to have him pre-
vented from leaving, but he got away
quietly in the steerage of the Wilhel-
nina, thus not having his name pub
lished
His arrest has no doubt been effect
ed on account of those who had de-
sired that he should remain here
awhile, for District Attorney ,Brec-
kons on inquiry stated that the man
had not been detained at his request.
Scholtz had many friends in Homo
lulu, and Yves voted a good fellow"

SOME WITNESSES
CONTINUED from page one.J

that in some of the other enterprises
he had partner and in some he was
alone. He admitted that he went into
bankruptcy on account of the Kauai
road job, but claimed that the reason
he did so was that he mad a claim
against the county and the supervisors
forced him into bankruptcy to try to
make him abandon his claim. He said
that they refused to pay him the
promised So per cent as the various
sections were completed, and that they
also went out and bought up debts
owed by him to various firms and in
dividuals, in order to force him into
bankruptcy, which they
succeeded in doing. However, he said,
almost all of the debts that he owed at
that time have since been settled in
full All the laborers received the full
amounts due them, as did also all of
the biggest creditors. Wilson stated
that he is now worth $4,000 or 5000,
all made since that time.
What arrangement did you have
with l.. l.. McCandless regarding this
belt road job?" asked Wilder.
q went to Mr.. McCandless," replied
the witness, and asked him if he
would go in with me. l told lim
would take him as a partner and give
him half the proceeds. He said this
would be satisfactory. Just after that
was taken sick, and then l went TO
the Coast on business. After my re-
turn | began accommodating a plant to
do the work provided I got the con
tract. l went to Mr.. McCandless for
money and got it and now have part
of the plant on hand.
Il found it would take at least $780,
600 to swing the contract. l went to
Mr. McCandless to be sure of having
sufficient backing We went into de-
tails and he said: Let's go to the bank
and see if we can arrange it, The ar
rangements were made. Mr. McCand-
less was to be an equal partner with

In response to further questions vii
son stated that in case they got the
contract, McCandless was to furnish
the funds and Wilson was to do the
work and they were to divide profits
or losses.
How was it that you bid alone for
the iob?" asked Wilder.

his name to appear"
Was there any reason for keeping

/ Mr.. McCandless' name out?"
Yes"
What was it,"
Political reasons. Being a leading
Democrat, it was possible that they
might have it in for him more than for
myself"
Wilson stated that he had never
been a partner of McCandless before.
Replying to questions, he stated that
he had informed Mayor Fern, as a
member of the loan fund commission,
that he was in partnership with Nc
Candless in bidding on the contract
for the Heeia road job.
Following Wilson, several engineers
and contractors were called to the
stand to testify as to Wilson's capabil-
ity and responsibility. Each of them
replied, more or less enthusiastically,
that they believed him to be RESPONSE
BILE and fully capable of successfully
completing an $4,000 road contrac,
Among those who so testified were
Hugh Howell, former county engineer
of Maui; w. E. Rowell of Honolulu,
G. A. Gere, city and county engineer
of Honolulu, and B. F. Dillingham;.
Howell stated that he had had CON
siderable experience with Wilson as a
contractor and it had always been sat
isfactory. He saw no reason why
Wilson could not carry to successful
completion an $4,000 road contract
if he were properly financed.
w. f. Rowell thought Wilson fairly
skilful and said he had told Chairman
Adams of the commission that he con-
sidered Wilson responsible. He did
not attach much blame to Wilson for
his failure to complete the sewer out
fall contract, as he doubted if any
body could have done it according 10
the specifications.
Gere was very reserved in his state
ments, being the engineer of the Loan
Fund Commission, but he thought
that, if properly financed, Wilson
could carry out the work He thought
he would be responsible for carrying
out the belt road contract Gere
stated that Chairman Adams had dis
cussed Wilson prior to the awarding
of the contract. He had told Adams
that he had not had much experience
with Wilson as a contractor, but that
plaintiff had carried out the Kahana
road work successfully. He did not
consider himself competent to pass
upon Wilson's ability, but knew that
he had the reputation of being a hard
man for an engineer to get along
with.
b, f. Dillingham; testified that he
went on Wilson's bond when the con-
tractor took the Nuuanu Pail job, and
he wouldn't have stood good for him
if he had not considered him respon-
sible and competent. He had had 40
reason for changing his opinion since
then. AS to whether or not he would
be willing to go on Wilson's bond
again he was not so sure, as he was
no longer in the habit of going on

into and the inspector, under whose
orders the plants were cut down, is
being asked to report on what he
knows of the matter
Another claim of $1,000 has been
filed on behalf of Lau Chan by Attor-
ney Curry, and the same course is
being taken in regard to it.
The claims that have been made
in the past have only amounted to
small amounts and have been paid.
The larger amounts involved in the
latest claims will have to be fully
fought out before they are settled.

any bonds, put ne would certainly do
1t as quickly for Wilson as for any.
body else.
L. L. McCandless followed Dilling
ham on the witness stand.
"You have some slight means, be.
lieve," said Attorney Prosser.
well, yes, l think l have some"
replied McCandless.
For the purpose of this trial will
ask you if you are worth more than
100000"
"Yes, am"
You'd hate to tell how much more,
l imagine" said Prosser.
Replying to questions asked him by
Prosser, McCandless said that he had
some arrangements with Wilson. 1t
was a kind of co-partnership to build
a road on the other side of the island.
He was to finance the job If Wilson
got the contract. He put up a GER
titled check for $4,000 and arranged
with Trent to give a $4,000 bond If
II should be needed. He also arranged
with the bank to carry what advances
might be needed. Cecil Brown, at his
request, wrote to the commissioners
to that effect, SO they knew it before
the contract was awarded.
What induced you to go into part
nership with Wilson," asked Wilder.
We'll, Mr.. Wilson came to me for
financial help. 1t looked to me as if
it were a good proposition"
That's the only reason you went
into it?"
There was no other reason-par-
ticularly."
We'll, was there any other reason
not particularly"
Here Prosser got back at Wilder
for remark made to him by the
attorney for Lord-Young, yesterday.
IF you want to testify" he said, go
on the stand"
Jim Quinn, formerly supervisor.
was the next witness. He testified
that he knew Wilson's work thor
oughly, having been chairman of the
road committee when Wilson was
road supervisor. All of Wilson's
roads were good except King street,
and that was not John Wilson's fault,
but his fathers. He thought Wilson
responsible man and competent to
tackle an $4,000 road contract
John Bowler was called to the
stand, but the first question asked
him was objected to by the defense,
and he was excused.
Then Mayor Fern took the stand
and told at great lengt hand with
much circumstance about the internal
rows of the belt road commission
over the awarding of the contract.
He detailed how he had stood up and
! fought all the other commissioners in
Wilson's behalf and how he had been
double-crossed by Marston Campbell.
One of the most important statements
made by him was that Commissioner
Sam Dwight had stated, both pri-
vately to him and before the other
commissioners, that he would not
vote to award the contract to Wilson
because he had no use for him. Will
son had neglected to report to him
every morning when Wilson was road
supervisor and Dwight was chairman
of the road committee.
Fern testified that at the third
meeting of the board he had moved
that the contract be awarded to viii
son, thinking that Marston Campbell
would second the motion. But every
one of the commissioners he said,
was numb. Petrie moved to award
it to Lord-Young and Campbell sec
onded the motion. Adams voted
against it and the meeting adjourned.
But it was called to order again and
Adams voted with the three others
because he thought it wouldn't look
right for him to be with me"
