OAHU BOOMING
IN ACTIVE MARKET

The boom in local sugar stocks is
on in earnest The market has been
steadily strengthening all along the
line for several weeks past, and the
sales last week aggregated in value
nearly half a million dollars. This
week, as Indicated by even heavier
sales and stronger prices reported this
morning, promises to be even greater.
Still stocks are generally conceded to
be worth the prices that are being
asked and paid, on account OF the al
most certainty of continued high price
Of sugar, and the excellent prospects
Of the plantations; so the boom may
be considered rational one

KEOKEA CIGAR
COMPANY STARTS

This morning the final papers of the
Keokea Cigar Company were filed with
the collector of internal revenue and
from this time on, the company will
be manufacturing Hawaiian cigars.
The Keokea company is connected
with the Roma Tobacco Company, and
the prospects are declared to be very
bright for the future.
Cigars have been made in Hawaii
before, but the industry languished
and died. The new company is to
turn out very superior grade Of
cigar and It is expected that there
will be a good market for the article.

ASSOCIATION OF PINEAPPLE
GROWERS IS ADVOCATED

f. w. Macfarlane, president OF
Libby, Mcneil & Libby of Honolulu,
Ltd, believes that the pineapple
growers Of Hawaii should form an
association for the Advancement of
their interests, similar in character to
that of the sugar planters. Such an
association, thinks Mr.. Macfarlane,
would be of inestimable benefit TO the
pineapple interests of the islands, az-
pecially should it become necessary
to combat some insect pest, or other
menace to the crop. 1t could also be
of value in equalizing the burden OF
advertising, and great help in i'm.
proving cultural methods, packing
and marketing
Nobody knows when some pest
may attack the pineapple crop, as did
the leaf hopper the sugar cane few
years ago. Unless the pineapple peo
pie are prepared for such an emer
gency, the industry might be virtu.
ally ruined before it could be checked

TELLS
ABOUT PALMYRA

WASHINGTON, January 3O.-There
is every indication that the American
State Department will resist any at
tempt of British syndicate or of the
British government to assert sover-
eighty over Palmyra island, in the
Pacific ocean.
The United States and Great Brit
ain may have to submit to interna-
tional arbitration the question of SOW
ereignty.
Governor Frear of Hawaii today no
titled the State Department that the
island long had been in the possession
of Judge Henry E. Cooper of the Ha-
waiian supreme court, who was much
disturbed over the report that Great
Britain was about to claim title.
The department has undertaken an
investigation which thus far has dis
closed that while existing charts show
the island to be British by virtue of
it's annexation in 1889 by Captain
Nichols of the British gunboat Cor
morant, the island had previously
been annexed to the Hawaiian king
dom in 1882, and the commission ap-
pointed by President Mckinley in
1898 to take over the Hawaiian
islands in that year annexed to the
United States, especially included
Palmyra island as a part of Hawaii.

BACK TO EUROPE

With disconsolate little party of
rejected Spaniards and Portuguese,
Captain Paul Smith, of the immigra-
ton service, will start on his long
journey to Gibraltar, by way of the
Orient, this afternoon. In spite of
the fact that all the immigrants are
subjected to medical examination be-
fore they leave Europe for the islands,
these poor people, afflicted with dis
eases which bar them from entry,
managed to join the last shipload in
some fashion and must now be re-
turned at the departments expense.
There are two families, both Spanish,
and two single men. one Portuguese
and one Spanish. They number four
teen and passage has been arranged
for them in the Tenyo Maru as far as
Japan and in the North German Lloyd
liner Prince Eitel Friedrich the rest
of the way. If the Tenyo connects with
the German steamer in Yokohama on
the twenty-third OF this month the
transfer will be made there, other
wise they will proceed to Hongkong
and board the Eitel Friedrich in that
port March 6.
The prevailing disease is trachoma
although one girl is being returned
because she is crippled and one OF
the men--the only one with whom
Captain Smith anticipates any trouble
is insane.

The pineapple business is growing
rapidly, and an association, such as /
have in mind, should include all grow
ers, small as well as large. As soon
as practicable it would be well to
maintain an experiment station of our
own, similar to that of the Hawaiian
Sugar Planters Association. The ex-
pense of such maintenance should be
proportioned according to the ton
mage of production of the members.

Mr. Macfarlane thinks that sep

Washington, March 15.-Dr. Har-

the bureau of chemistry tonight
where for nearly 29 years he had been
chief chemist-no longer a govern

pion the cause of pure food from the

DIR. Wiley will devote the remainder

issued by him today, to the promo

ley Hill.

Laurens, March 17.-William Rhett
Bryson, we'll known farmer, who liV-
ed near Mountville in Laurens county,
was shot and killed yesterday after
noon, supposedly by a negro, Wesley
Hill. Police and county officers are
searching for Hill but as yet have not
located the negro.
Mr.. Bryson had warned Hill to stay
away from his plantation. Yesterday
afternoon about 2 o'clock the negro
was seen to leave his wagon and go to
cabin on Mr.. Bryson's place After
leaving the house, Mr.. Bryson, who
was in the field nearby overseeing
some work, intercepted the negro and
followed him some distance. Shortly
afterward four shots were heard.
Three hours later some negro chill
dren found the body Of Mr.. Bryson
and reported the matter. Two bullets
had penetrated the body. He was about
80 years Of age and was married.
Sheriff Owings returned this after
noon from the scene Of the crime.
The sheriff, with posse, was engaged
throughout the night in searching for
Wesley Hill. No trace Of the fugitive
was secured. An officer and several
citizens went to NeWberry this after
noon to continue the search.
The police of Newberry and other
towns have been notified o. the crime
and requested to keep a sharp look

Juror Fowler Dies of Wounds.

Hillsville, Va, March 16.-The ma
chinery of the law adjusted itself in
Carroll county today, when a special
grand jury, summoned yesterday by
Judge Staples, returned indictments OF
murder against eight members of the
Allen outlaw band, who shot and kill
ed the judge, prosecuting attorney
sheriff and a girl witness in the Hills
Vile court room on Thursday. One
more victim was added to the list,
when Juror Augustus Fowler died
this afternoon. This brings the total
number of dead up to five.
Prisoners to Roanoke Jail.
Cheerful and apparently recovered
from his wounds, Floyd Allen, directly
charged with the murder of Judge
Thornton L. Massie went tonight un-
der heavy guard, to Roanoke, where
he will be placed in Jail for safe-keep-
ing. His son, Victor, and Byrd Ma
rion, Jointly indicted, went with him
to the Roanoke jail. The prisoner,
whose sentence for a minor crime led
to the wholesale murder Of court OF
ficials, did not seem to be worried or
alarmed over the situation. He re-
clined in a hack, which was driven
across heavy mountain roads to GalaX'
where the party boarded a special
train. The other prisoners remained
in the Carroll county jail, a heavy
guard standing by during the night.
Aliens Wife Still Alive.
Completely without result was the
raid made this afternoon on the home
of Sidna Allen, the erroneous report OF
whose capture was sent yesterday to
Governor Mann by his chief Of detec-
tives and the attorney general His
wife was not killed. Detectives ana
constables and Roanoke mllltlamen
visited the Allen home on the mount
tainside, but found neither the owner
nor members of his family on the
premises. Not much information was
gained from the caretakets.
Conflicting reports come from the
mountains as to the route taken by the
outlaws when they raced away from
Hillsville.
