1t is the plan Of the passengers who
have the matter in charge to make the
presentation to Mr.. Jordan on the night
before the Cleveland arrives at San
Francisco, finishing her voyage nearly
around the world.
The deed for which Jordan, who is q
Washingtonian ID. CO., is being remem
bered by his fellow passengers took
place in the Straits Of Banka just east
of the island of Sumatra while the
Cleveland was steaming from Batavia,
Java, to Singapore, Straits Settlements.

Any canine passenger bound for the

Territory and stay as long as he pleases
if he pleases to be good. If he does not,
he will meet fate that he would not

But, if any canine desires to come
to Honolulu without first having OBJ
tanned his passports, he is wasting his
time, be it valuable OF otherwise; for
he will be shipped back to his native

GERMAN STEAMSHIP LINE MAY NOT HEAR
FROM NAVY ABOUT COLORADO'S PROPELLER


Admiral Thomas, eommander-in-chief
of the Pacific fleet, has the full report
of the board of inquiry which in,
vestigated the jamming of the cruiser
Colorado at her moorings by the Ger.
man steamship Cleveland, and is Off
cially notified that the board "found
there was the slightest injury to one of
the edges of the blade of the propel-
Ter" of the cruiser.
There was no responsibility for the
slight accident placed, that being de-
monstrated, if any there be, in the
testimony showing how and why the
Cleveland happened to crowd the war
ship, the initial cause being the sudden
and dramatic death of Pilot Sanders
upon the bridge of the Cleveland while
the two vessels were in close proximity.
Whether the United States govern
ment will ever take any steps toward
requiring the Hamburg-American com
pany to make good any cost for repair
ing the damage, should it be found that
the propeller fails to work properly, is
doubtful, and in all probability, when
the navy department is satisfied that
Captain Gill of the Colorado is not at
fault, the matter will be dropped.

TWELVE THOUSAND
TONS ARE DELAYED

An unfortunate break in the sched-
ship Company, due to an accident in
Seattle harbor, when the steamer Vir-
ginian rammed another ship and was
herself SO injured that she was taken
off the run to Honolulu for time, will
mean a delay in forwarding to the At.
lantic Coast at least $4,000 tons of
raw sugar at this time, when the mark
ct price is nearly full cent pound
higher than at this time last year.
Meanwhile the sugar is accumulat-
ing at this and the other island ports
and when the Missourian arrives here
on February 8 next, she will be cram
med with every sack that can be put
aboard of her for transit to Salina
Cruz. One of the things which helps
to preserve the equanimity of the Sug-
ar Factors Company, however, is the
fact the price of raws will in all prob
ability, be as high when the sugar does
reach New York or Philadelphia as it
is now In fact the prospects for high
prices for sugar during the entire year
are brighter than for many years.
Wora was received by the Sugar
Factors Company yesterday that the
second half of the cargo Of the All.

Breakwater on Thursday last, while the
first half reached there a week ago
yesterday. This full cargo consisted
of 1900 tons of raw sugar and it

There are scores of people who drag

mate as they once were, Taft desires to
preserve harmany in his cabinet and
to avoid an open break with his post

of this desire, that the President may
transmit Hitchcock's recommendation
to congress merely for what it is worth,
but with the definite understanding
that it is not one of the administration

If Hitchcock is turned down abso-

By decision handed down yester-
day, Judge Whitney of circuit court
holds that Harry I. Mills and Mary K.
Mills must pay note of 5000 given in
July 1900, and interest at nine per
cent. from that date. From the inter-
est due there is to be deducted the sum
of $40 which was paid in 1908. This
decision came in the action brought by
Mary j. Davis in the circuit court to
compel Mills to pay the note which
had run for more than decade and
upon which only $40 in interest had
been paid.
Divorce Mill.
One divorce was granted yesterday
by Judge Robinson, that of Manuel
Phillips from his wife Sarah who de-.
serted him in the year 1892. They
were married the previous year.
In 1910 decree was given Phillips
by Judge Robinson but it was one of
those which were afterward held by
the supreme court to have been illegal
ly granted in that the necessary thirty
days had not elapsed from the time of
the service of the papers until the de-
cree was pronounced.
Henrietta Baker has filed libel for
divorce from George E. h Baker for
nonsupport. Elease Bolton wants sep
aration from William R. on account of
desertion, and Wari Kuroiwa says that
Kyuzo has failed to support her and she
wants a divorce.
