Sends Filing Papers to "Link''
and Fails to Get on

While Attorney General Alex. Lind
say is seeking to solve the knotty
problem of whether Territorial Sec
retary E. A. Mott-Smith is required
by law to serve as messenger boy be-
tween his own office and the postof-
flee the question of whether the name
of a Democratic senatorial candidate
from Msui-presumably that of S. K.
Aoleinoa--shall be placed on the bal
lot at the next election hangs in
doubt.
A comedy OF circumstances sur
rounds the affair. The headquarters
of the Democratic committee insists
that AoIeinoa's nomination was prop
erly filed with the Territorial secre-
tary by last Saturday. Mott-Smith
and his clerk, Henry O'Sullivan, today
assert the name is not among those
present on the roll
One Democratic senatorial nominee,
whose name is not definitely known
to the Territorial secretary, sent his
nomination papers to L. L. McCand-

The Herald Article.
Following is the article the Herald
published:
"A good many local people are ex-
pressing doubt at the present time as
to whether the plans for the Kau
ditch, for which franchise was OBJ
tanned from Congress during the last
session, will go through. The reason
given for this doubt comes as the
result of the death of Pollitz, the San
Francisco broker, who was the presi-
dent of the Hutchinson Sugar Com
pany. 1t is believed that it is likely
that his death may result in the aban-
donment Of the plans for the big irri-
cation project or at least cause their
postponement for some time.
Mr.. Pollitz was one of the strongest
supporters of the Kau ditch plan and
1t is stated that but for his interest
in the project and the, support which
he gave constantly to the matter, it
would never have gone e,through to the
|-NNNAI IAoN II Gil SouS mas JOuH
McCroSson was named in the bill as
the main promoter, but he has stated
a number of times that personally he
was doing the work to please a num-
Der of his friends who had given him
support when he desired and needed it
and now wanted him to carry through
a proposition which they wished for.
Another report in regard to the
kau ditch comes from Hakalau, where
it is stated that the plans for the
ditch would tap one of the main
sources from which the HakaIau plan
tation derives it's water for fiuming
purposes. When the matter was taken
up with the Honolulu office the reply
came that it was very doubtful if the
kau ditch plans would go through at
the present time. owing to the death
of Mr., PollitZ. and that for the pres
ent there need be no worry. 1t was
probably from this matter that the
story in regard to the possible giving
up Of the scheme has been heard in
Hilo."

John T. McCroSson Says Work

port to Contrary

They know more than | do about

4. McCrosson on report in the Ha-
wall Herald shown to him, which was
that the Kau ditch project would like
ly be abandoned on account of the
death of Edward Pollitz.
There is no ground for such an
opinion as far. as | know" Mr.. Nc
Crosson continued. ''Mr Pollitz nat
urally took great deal of interest in
the scheme because his company had
contracted to take sixty million gal
Ions of water from the ditch"
That is Hutchinson"
Yes. AS to my interest in the mat

"Of course, the death of Mr.. Pol

not stop an important project such as

At least two victims of a. series OF
vicious assaults perpetrated during
the quiet of Honolulu Sabbath may
die as a result OF many dangerous
wounds inflicted at the hands of those
who gave. evidence of having run
amuck
Sue Tuck Yuen, former partner in
a Hotel street cafe, lies at Queens
Hospital and is believed to be at the
point of death with four bullet wounds,
one ball entering the back of the head
near the base of the brain, another
near the heart, one through the chest,
and the fourth below the arm.
Coroner Rose stated today that the
Chinese has but the faintest chance
of pulling through, as the lungs are
pierced in two places, judging from an
examination made by the county ply
sician.
The Chinese received the wounds at
the hands of All Hoon, according to
the statements made to the police by
Lum Sun, who declares that he was
a witness to portion of the ARRAY.
J The trouble took place in a room in
a tenement near River and Hotel
streets.
The story gathered by the police,
who now have An Hoon in custody,
is to the effect that trouble arose over

moneys on hand caused werds which

The charge is also made that All
Hoon also pointed the 80 revolver in
the direction of Lum Sun, who sought
safety in flight to neighboring room.
Following the firing of five shots this
Chinese returned to the scene of con-
tiict. and stated that he saw Sue Tuck
Yuen lying on the floor and All Hoon
there also, showing signs of great agt-
tation.
The second victim of serious as

who was taken to the hospital yester-
day with wound inflicted by pair
of shears. The allegation is made

Public Boards Anxious to Have

Foreseeing delay of months In the

TO succeed Marston Campbell
Efforts will be made now to get the
Governor to make an appointment of
CampbelPs successor within a few
days so that great mass of work
held up for weeks past can be cleared

The situation is said to be growing
serious because of the approach of
another legislature. The various
boards, such as the loan fund commits

is san ex-officio member, the harbor
board, of which he. Is chairman, and
the land board, are practically at a
standstill Campbelps resignation was
handed In months ago and he has en-
tered business with the Honolulu Iron
Works. He is seldom to be found at.
the Office OF the superintendent and
his whole department, II is claimed,
is disorganized and chaotic. s

DROUGHT And
NOT POLITICS
SLUMPS SUGAR
Shortage in Crop May Reach
100000 Tons, Says
Stock Broker

eff the rains continue, stocks will
/ boom again. stock broker said this
morning. They may say it's politics
that's causing the slump, but politics
really cuts very little ice in the situa-
ton.
Many people have no idea of the
seriousness of the drought to the
sugar crop. Olaa, for instance, will
have but $4,000 tons instead of $4,000
as estimated. Taking the whole terri
tory, the shortage on the coming crop
due to the dry period will be from 50,-
600 to 100000 tons.
Some of the Hamakua plantations
have come short in their stipulated
supply from the ditch. Without rain
the ditch has run low and the loss
from seepage has been very great"
Today's stock list indicates how
great the depression in sugar stocks
has become. There was not a single
transaction at this mornings session,
while only one sugar stock sale is re-
ported from between boards, and that
is a block of $50 shares of Olaa at
, IS, which though unchanged is
Olaas lowest in a long time past.
Pineapple is unchanged at A for
100 shares, while Inter-Island sold
down point to 200 for Is shares, the
only other sale reported, besides that
of Olaa already mentioned, being $3,-
900 Hilo Extension SKIES unchanged at
81.
The long drought was partially
broken early this morning with
downpour that lasted, off and on, fol
some hours. The territorial water
works department said this afternoon
that the rain was not heavy enough to
relieve the water situation very much,
and the level in the Nuuanu reservoir
system is still very low.
Neither Castle & Cooke nor H. Hack
field & Co. received any definite news
about the rain at the different PLAN
tations on this island. From other
sources it is learned that showers fell
all over the island yesterday and last
night. Three-quarters of an inch is
one estimate of the precipitation,
which is perhaps not far wrong. From
the appearance of the horizon over
the mountain ranges all day, it looks
as if rainy season of some conse-
quence had at last arrived. Occasion
al drizZles in town all day encourage
the hope.

ACCIDENTS AT'THE CRATER.

Professor Jaggar's weekly report:
Two accidents have taken place at
Halemaumau during the week. An
enlisted man Of the U. S. S. Colorado
fell from the high southwest cliff Sat
urdlay afternoon, February II, and an
automobile the next day was nearly
wrecked by running off the road in
the boffling steam clouds which cross
the road at the crater terminus. The
man was rescued by his shipmates
with the aid of Mr.. Perret's cable, bat
he was seriously injured. l think it
would be well to keep a permanent
Waterman at the crater equipped with
ropes and ladders, and commissioned
to keep in order the paths, roads and
rest houses, and to place suitable
signs and guard-rails at places of spe-
cial danger. Hundreds of irresponsi-
BILE people visit the crater, especially
on Saturday nights and holidays. The
steam cloud danger for automobiles
might be lessened by hanging length
wise a line of dangling rope ends,
such as warn freightmen of Glow
bridge" on railroads, and so guiding
drivers to keep the middle of the road
The observatory is nearly complet-
ed. Work has been begun on the
masonry piers for the ,seismographs,
including one at the Halemaumau
station. Also a series of concrete
platforms has been started on the
edge of the pit for use as permanent
stations for quick plane table work
in determining daily the depth and
shape of the liquid lava surface.

BIG.ICOMMISSION
s
ON OIL SALE

SAN FRANCISCO, February A.
Through a decision handed down by
Superior Judge Trout yesterday l.
Straussberger, vice-president and gen
eral manager Of the Pioneer Midway
Oil Company, is declared to be in legal
and honest possession of $4,000
which the company paid him nearly
two years ago as commission on the
sale of property, and r. j. Wrampel-
moir, a stakeholder in the same com
pany is denied an injunction to pre-
vent the payment to Straussb erger
Of an additional 100000 in commits
sions.
The suit in which the decision is
given was brought in 1910 by Wram-
pelmeir, as a stakeholder, against
Straussberger, Howard c. Holmes and
George l.. Payne, who constitute the
board of directors of the oil company
His complaint recited that on June 6,
1910, Straussberger entered into an
agreement with the other directors
whereby he was to receive a commits
sion of $15O,OOO if he successfully con-
summated the sale of GAO acres of oil
land in Kern county which belonged
to the company, He says that four
days later Straussberger put the deal
and Immediately received a
check for $4,000 as part payment on
his commission. On the ground that
the directors had no authority to
make such an agreement he sued for
the return of the $4,000 and an in
junction to prevent the payment OF
the remaining 100000.
In his decision Judge Trout holds
that the agreement was made in legal
form and good faith, and that none of
the claims of the plaintiff are tenable

already busy preparing for the big
Shriner conclave to be held in Los An
geles next summer. Mr.. McCand4ess
states that the Arab Patrol of the
local Shrine will go resplendent in

Hawaii make the most striking dis
play that it has ever done on any sim
liar occasion.
Mr.. McCandless is at the present
time trying to devise some new form
of souvenir for Hawaii. In previous

and tons of pineapples, cocoanuts,
fans, etc, have been distributed, so
that Hawaii has gained a reputation
among the Shriners for originality
that cannot be approached by any
other part of the country. 1t is
