after the rights have been fully and

II. II. Petrle of Castle a. Cooke, the
Wahawa Water Company, Walalua
plantation and other interested com
panies, said this morning in answer To
question that no action Is expected
during this session Of Congress.
{ Naturally portion OF the waters

are claimed" he said. "Our position is
simply that we desire another amend
ment to the Secretary of Wars sug-
gested legislation, providing for a ju-
dicial determination of the rights OF
all parties. We agree to give bond
for all water used after January II
last. when the lease expired. However
the Secretary Of War opposed this sug-
gcstiOn and there the matter stands.

there any good reason (pleasc note

As a matter of fact, Wilson before

Whether Wilson will bid on the
Section No. 2 work Is doubted by 9th

unwritten law which amounts to et!-
quette among contractors that where
low bidder has been disqualified on

thrown out, he isn't likely to be un

kauai AS SEEN
BY OBSERVER

Editor Evening let m:
Having recently taken jaunt through
Kauai, | will, with your granting Of
space, tell of few things that
struck" me.
At the present time of the year the
island of Kauai is certainly backing
up its reputation and name as the
Garden Island The flowers are all
in bloom, and everything that is not
in bloom Is 0ourishing in green. Every
plantation on the island is looking
The best ever, with the exception of
Kilauea plantation and the plantation
Of the Koloa Sugar Company. The
cane of the Koloa plantation Is not
as heavy as could he wished for, but
tho juice Is considered to be above
the usual.
Kilauea plantation cane seems to
be poor in both quality and quantity.
Strenuous efforts are being made by
those In direct charge to get all there
is from the cane, which Is small
stalked and short.
While on the subject of this planta
ton II is desired to state that SAM
tary conditions throughout the camp
arc the vilGst imaginable. Filthy
streams of sink and drainpipc compo
sitiOn8 cit cant be called waterl flow
from between nearly all the houses
in the Oriental section to the street
and down the side cutters of the
main street towards the mill. 1t Is
certainly the drtiest, insanitary plan
tarion village on the island.
McBryde, the hard luck plantation
is, 50 far as the growing of cane. Is
concerned, In a flOurishing condition
Never before has the cane of this
plantation looked so well and healthy
The statement is made that McBryde
will pay two dividends this year, and
there appears nothing to prevent.
The rest of the Kauai plantations
are looking forward to banner cane
crops, and nothing short of an Egyp
tian plague can stop the realization
The grinding so far in the different
mills shows a heavy juice, and pros
poets are bright.

BANDIT GANG
IS VIftBa OUT
Leader of Paris Hishwaymen Killed
After Seige BY Police and
Gendarmes.

Paris, May 15.-The career of the
last of Frances notorious bandit
gangs was dramatically ended yester-
day morning when, after an eight
hours battle with the police and
troops, leader Octave GARNER and con-
federate, his valet, were blown up by
Ia Melinite explosive in a small villa
at Nogent sur Marine, where they had
taken refuge. Shattered by bullets
the house fell in ruins when the ex-
plosive was set off under a wall. Gar
nier was found dead, and his valet
dying. Five policemen were wounded
in the battle. Several thousand DO
lice, gendarmes, and zouaves had
worked for hours unsuccessfully to
shoot or blow out the bandits, with a
crowd of thousands Unlocking. By
the aid of a powerful searchlight, the
Melinite was finally placed under the
wall. The police dogs sprang through
the hole made while volleys of shots
were fired into the ruins. Carriers
body was almost naked. The enraged
crowd tried to sieze the bodies of the
bandits and the police with difficulty
escaped from them.

". A. PERCY IS IN
CRITICAL CONDITION
Collapsed Yesterday Afternoon While
Attending Tenn. Democratic
Convention.

Nashville, Tenn, May 15.-W. A.
Percy, of Memphis, brother of United
States Senator Leroy Percy, of Missis-
sippi, who collapsed yesterday after
noon while in attendance upon a meet
ing of the Democratic State Committee
at a local hotel, is still in a critical
condition, although his physicians say
he was somewhat better last night.
AS yet the doctors have made no
statement as to what is the matter
with Mr.. Percy. Their first impression
was that he was suffering from pto-
maine poisoning, but those who ate
luncheon with him at local cafe said
he had nothing but pea soup and cof-
fee and consequently there seems to
be but little likelihood that he was
poisoned at that meal After Mr.
Percy had swooned, he seemed to re-
gain consciousness and in response to
request from one of his physicians
stuck out his tongue for examina,--.i.
However, he was unable to talk and
for time the doctors entertained but
little hope for his recovery.
Senator Lea, Congressman Mcclellan
and number of other friends were
with him at the time he was stricken
and at once advised Senator Percy and
other members of the sick mans fami-
ly.

4 O'Clock, after Wells had returned
from a restaurant across the street
from the depot.
He stated that two white men an.

him by the throat and held him while
the other went through his pockets.
He had been paid off yesterday and
the highwaymen took all the money he
had, but afterwards threw the fifteen
cents in change on the ground nearby.
1t is a queer coincidence that the
sheriff, four deputies and two con.

berry preparing to catch a train to the
scene of the robbery at Okahola, where
the N. o. & N. e. passenger was rob-
