FINE FIBER MADE
At NEW PLANT

The Hawaiian Fiber Company has
had its new plant, near Robinson sta
ton on the Wahiawa branch of the
o. r. & L., in operation for about
week, and according to Manager VIM.
Weinrich, Jr., the results thus far
have been most highly satisfactory.
1--WE have been producing fiber that
is longer, whittier and cleaner than we
ever did at the Sisal station plant"
declared Mr. Weinrich yesterday
When it is remembered that the COM
pany's product has for several years
constantly commanded a premium
price over all other sisals, the signifi-
canoe of this statement is apparent.
This pleasing result is due, the
states, not only to the very
perfect equipment of the new mill,
but in greater degree to the superior
quality of sisal plant which the new
district produces over that of the Eva
coral plains. The new plantation and
mill are not supplanting the sisal es-
Enlistment, which continues its oper-
ations as heretofore.

CHUNG NUNG FOUND GUILTY
OF MOST HEINOUS CRIME

Chung Nung, the Chinese who was
on trial in Judge Robinsons court on
a charge of having raped little four
year-oId Hawaiian girl, was convict
ed few minutes after noon today,
the jury remaining out only twelve
minutes. The verdict of guilty was
reached on the third ballot. The pun
ishment imposed by law for the raw
ishment of a girl under the age of
twelve is death or life Imprisonment,
in the discretion Of the judge. Judge
Robinson has not yet sentenced the
prisoner.
Expert medical testimony contradic.
tory of that introduced by the prose
cution was put on by the defense this
morning, DIR. Wayson giving it as his
opinion that the serious physical con-
dition of the girl some months ago
might have been caused by something
other than what the prosecution al
legged.
In his argument Attorney Andrews
made the most of this testimony and,
in an impassioned address, virtually
charged the detective department and
the office Of the city and county attnr-
ney with having cooked up evidence
to convict the Chinese. His arraign'
ment of the peace officers and the
prosecution was exceedingly bitter

RAMUS SCARE
DOING ITS WORK

THE leprosy scare credited to DR.,
Ramus has unquestionably done a
great deal of harm to Hawaii" said
Secretary Wood, of the Promotion
Committee, who returned this morn
ing from brief trip to San Francisco
"The story that leprosy is very pre-
valent on the streets of Honolulu, and
that no adequate precautions are be-
ing taken against it, seems to have
been given very wide publicity. was
personally able to convince several
persons of the absurdity of their
fears, who were about to change their
plans of visiting the Islands, solely
on account Of these stories. It is GER
tainly too bad that our efforts should
be handicapped in this way"
