CRIMINAL CASE
TROUBLES kauai
Vacant Judgeship on Garden Is
land Causing Much
PiIikia.

A crisis has apparently come in the
pilikia caused by the vacant judgeshlp
on the Island of Kauai. Attorney Gen.
eral Lindsay yesterday received wi-e-
less from Attorney w. J. Sheldon of Ka.
uai announcing that "Mr. Rattery and
Mr.. Zoller, timekeeper and luna on Nc
Bryde plantation had been arrested
charged with criminally assaulting a
Japanese woman. He stated that as
there is no judge on Kauai to admit
the men to bail he was forced to ap-
peal to the attorney general.
Mr.. Lindsay wirelessed to County At
torney S. K. Kaeo that such step is
out of his power and referred Attor-
ney Sheldon to the supreme court of the
Territory, which alone can act under
the circumstances.
In speaking of the matter afterward
the encouragement stated that the
troubles which would undoubtedly arise
over this particular case would be
duplicated in several Others. The re.
signation of Judge Hardy some time
ago was acted upon at once, instead
of, as is usual, taking effect upon the
appointment of the Judges successor.
This left the island without a court
to transact any business and as a re-
suit there has been no grand or petit
jury summoned.
AS the time limit under the law has
passed by in which such a step could
be taken before the convening of the
regular court set for July /, it is be-
ieved that much pilikia will come be-
fore the matter can be Strengthened out
finally.

Roosevelt, laying down the law to his
hearers,
4ssAA* i:i:%ssiss ~ r. skk'isss'kAsssAssi;'
NEW YORK, June 27.-In lengthy
interview given out last night at his
home, Sycamore Hill, Oyster Bay, Long
Island, Colonel Roosevelt gave a hint
Of the line OF campaign he is planning.
He is going to open fire upon the Gin
terests'' as soon as possible.
ST am the only man now in public
life who frightens the big, sinister in
terests which have for many years been
battening upon the nation"
That, it Is generally taken here,
means he will conduct his campaign
along the lines he has followed in his
primary struggles
He did not make any definite state
ment regarding the progress that Is
being made by the leaders of the Pro
gressive party, nor would he refer to
the fight that is being waged in Balti-
more.
It was learned that he is in constant
telegraphic touch with Hiram johnson,
Governor Of California; Francis j.
Heney and others Of the Progressive
faction at the Republican national con-
vention.
He declined to make any comment
upon tho reported detection Of Governor
Adrich of Nebraska, who, according
to dispatches from Lincoln yesterday
has refused to serve upon the commit
tee Of eighteen which Governor John
son is gathering together.

MAHUkA SITE TO Be
RETAINED BRECK0NS

District Attorney Breckons states
that congress will undoubtedly supply
any additional sum that may be needed
to acquire the Mahuka site for the
proposed federal building, and that he
intends to continue the prosecution of
the cases until all are cleared from
the calendar.
cit is all nonsense" said Mr.. Brock
ons, to talk of an appropriation of
$4,000 or any other sum. The truth
is that there is no appropriation what
ever. Congress merely authorized the
secretary of the treasury to secure by
purchase or condemnation site for
the building at an expense of not more
than $350,000. If the cases are fairly
and impartially tried before fair and
impartial juries and the total condem-
nation amounts to more than $350,00O,
have no doubt as to what congress
will do.'
The next case to be tried will be
that to condemn the property now occu-
pied by the Office Supply Company.
This will begin in about a month.

PICS OF REAL LUAU
BREED ARE WANTED;
APPLY BOB sH|NGLE

The Republican inner campaign just
now, seems to hinge upon pigs. Not
plain pigs, but luau pigs, the kind that
when roasted in the imu are brought to
the feast fairly coming to pieces. The
countryside is being secuted by mau
experts. The finest pigs on Oahu are
wanted for a political luau to be held
the latter part of July.
AT that feast will be the "seventy-
eight" or those ana their proxies who
voted for the Kuhio policy in the last
convention. Prince Kuhio, the Dele
gate, will be there and will be the prin-
cipal guest. Robert w. Single will be
there, and many Others. Possibly Sec
rotary of the Interior Fisher may be
there, if he is able to get to Hawaii
next month on his tour of investigation.
1t is said that on this occasion when
sentiment is running high, Kuhio Will
formally declare, that In case Governor
Frear is reappointed he will drop out of
the race for Washington, and at the
same time he will ask leave of those
present to bestOw his mantle upon the
shoulders of Robert ShIngie. 1t il ex-
pected that with all the fine cooked pig
slowed away and well washed down,
that great Outcry will be raised, a
demand that the Prince continue in the
running, but if he insists that he will
not, then three long and much prolong-
ed cheers for Robert will be in order
and the Single boom win be launched.
1t all depends ON whether the scouts
get the right kind of pigs and plenty
of them.

RUSHING SUGAR
CROP EAs7WARDS
Factors Company Is Now Plan
ming for Ten-Day Service
to Market.

With the inauguration of a ten-day
service to the mainland for which plans
are now being arranged, the Sugar
Factors Company will be able to ship
nearly 10000 additional tons of sugar
in the same period required to move
this year IS entire output on the present
eleven day schedule. Negotiations of
this company with the American Hawa-
iian Steamship Company are now being
carried on and it is expected that an
agreement will be reached by the first
of next week for the establishment of
the shorter service.
1t is understood that the steamship
company is planning to do larger west
bound business than ever before next
year, and it is reported that arrange
ments will be made to place another
large steamer on the triangular service
from San Francisco to Honolulu and
Salina Cruz via Seattle.
An estimate made as to the total
crop which the Sugar Factors Company
will move this year puts it at about
100000 tons. OF this amount the
Sugar Factors Company has already
shipped $4,000 tons, of which 2s5,OOO
tons have arrived at market. This is
more than three.ffths of the CROP
shipped and more than one-half mar,
keted with the present season only hall
completed. This does not include sugar
shipped to San Francisco on other
steamship lines.
Last year the total crop carried by
this company was 475,000 tons and that
shipped up to the last Of June 1911
was $4,000 tons. This shows that this
year Is shipments are more than 10000
tons greater than those Of last year
A total of 100000 tons had reached the
market this time last year for which
the shippers received $3.75 per ton
This year the price received for the
sugar viii be something more than -four
cents.
When the American ship William p
Frye sails from Kahului with $500 toni
of sugar Saturday the shipments
around the Horn will be complete. A
total of 22,500 tons has been made thit
year. j I :

MATsON LINER SAILS
WITH FULL CABINS
HonoIuIuan Carries Large Cargo
of Island Products to
the Coast.
(From Thursdays Advertiser

ktTom thursdays AdVertlser.)
The Matson liner Honolulan sailed
yesterday morning promptly at ten
from the Hackfeld wharf, with every
cabin on board with its full quota of
passengers.
The Honolulan carried large cargo
of sugar, canned and green pineapples,
coffee, sisal, rice and other island
products.
A collision with the Mauna Kea was
narrowly averted when the Honolulan
steamed out from her wharf, both
steamers being hidden from the cap
tain of the other by the sheds. By
prompt action in reversing the engines
of the Honolulan and sending the
Mauna Kea Is engines full speed ahead
they gradually drew apart, after which
the Honolulan steamed out of the har-
Dor with the Mauna Kea close behind
Harbor Officer Carter nabbed a
couple of soldiers who had decided that
the local climate did not agree with
them and made up their minds to seek
new pastures. Carter, who has been

weeks, has caught seven deserters from
the United States army.
