Grants Writ of Error.
In the legal fight of Robert S. Barrett
for the seat in Common Council from
the First Ward, now held by Urban s.
Lambert, of that ward, the State Court
of Appeals has granted writ of error
and supersedeas in the case, and 1t is
expected that the case will now be ar
gued before that tribunal in November.
This case came up in the Corporation
Court here last July, and Judge Chi
chester, Fredericksburg, Va, who pre-
sided at the hearing, afterward gave a
decision in favor of Mr.. Barrett. CouIr
sci for Mr.. Lambert appealed the case
TO the higher, court
Mr.. Barret entered the general election
held last June. and he was elected with
out opposition. His contention was that
Mr.. Lambert, under the law, should also
have entered this election. Subsequently.
he was unable to obtain a seat in Com
mon Council; hence the case was brought
into court for settlement. Until she
State Court of Appeals passes on the
matter, Mr.. Lambert will still continue
to serve as a member of Council from
the ward he now represents.

LYMER READS THE RIOT ACT
TO CHINATOWN PROPERTY HOLDERS

Some wished to investigate conditions
for themselves and others were un-
able to give orders at once for remoy-
ing the cutters, as the property is
owned by companies, and meetings
will have to be held to determine
what the companies desire to be done
to perforate, remove, or repair the
cutters. They all were given until
next Saturday or Monday to remedy
the Objectionable conditions in some
way.
AS soon as permission of the own.
ers was obtained to remove the gut.
ters no delay was made by employees
of the Board of Health in taking
them off. The amount of dirt and
water that was found in them was ap-
palling to one unacquainted with con.
ditions.
Probably, in the opinion of Judge
Lymer, the most fragrant violation OF
the mosquito ordinance was found at
the premises of the Chinese benevo-
lent society known as the Kock On
Fui Kon Society, on Beretania street,
at the rear of the Kawasaki Hotel
The cutters on this house were not
only filled with water and wrigglers
but innumerable receptacles were
found in the yard filled with water
and abounding with mosquito larvae
The larvae were pronounced by Dr.
Mccoy to be the larvae of the deadly
Stegomyia calopus, the yellow fever
carrying mosquito.
When this block is put in sanitary
condition the force will proceed to ad,
! joining blocks, and it is hoped that
within a very short time Chinatown
will be cleared of mosquitoes and
mosquito breeding places

ANOTHER SHIP
WITH Immigrants

That the immigrant steamer Har-
palion, which will bring the next con
signment of Spanish and Portuguese
farm laborers to these islands, sailed
from Opo to Saturday for Gibraltar
and thence for ::awail, was an
nounced in a cable received from
Oporto by the Territorial immigration
Board this morning. The cable does
not state the number of Portuguese
on board nor the number of Spaniards
who will be shipped at Gibraltar
IF all arrangements have been
made at Gibraltar" said DR., Clark
this morning, the delay there will be
brief and we may expect the Harpal
ion in Honolulu in about sixty days,
or in the latter part of April. We ex-
pect Manuel Silva to return with this
shipment"

open at half-past six.

The most important event in Homo
lulu for some time, even unpatriot-
ically barring the Floral Parade, is
the throwing open of the doors of the
Public Welfare Exhibit at half-past
six this evening at the Palama gym
nasium. The first social exhibit ever
held in Honolulu, the completion of
the booths this morning gave assur-
ance that they would comply in every
way with Governor Frear's descrip-
ton of them. Governor Frear called
them social eye-openers."
In the Palama Chapel, incidental to
the exhibit, will be held the annual
meeting of the Palama Settlement,
the largest organized charity in Ho-
nolulu and the handspring of social
work among the tenements. Outside
of the stereopticon lecture on tuber-
culosis which is to be given by ex-
Governor George r. Carter, however,
the actual commencement Of the con-
ferences on social topics is left until
tomorrow.
The Kamehameha cadets were busy
all morning arranging the booth for
their schools, the last one to be put
in order. It is an exceptionally large
exhibit and features manual training
work to a great degree. Its close
study will be interesting in view OF
the conference on Vocational Train,
ing" Wednesday night, which will be
led by President P. l.. Horne Of Ka'
mehameha Schools.
With this morning big plain signs
appeared on all the street cars bear
ing only the name, Public Welfare

This morning the property owners
and tenants in the block bounded by
Beretania, River, Kul1ui and Nuuanu
streets were made aware that there is
a Board of Health and an ordinance
prohibiting the breeding of mosqui,
toes on their premises. Many OF
these property owners and agents
were seen personally by Judge Lymer
of the legal department They are
all Chinese and Japanese, and the
head Of the legal department of the
Board of Health was accompanied by
both Japanese and Chinese interpret
ers. They were all made to "sabe"
that they were in danger of arrest ani
a good stiff fine if they did not forth
with abate the mosquito breeding
places on their premises.
Most of them acquiesced very
speedily in the offer made by Judge
Lymer to have the Objectionable gut.

HAMA HOMESTEAD
LANDS OPENING

More homestead lands are to be
thrown open soon. At Hama, Maui,
and Waipouli, Kauai, good pineapple
lands are to be opened up. The Hama
tract is not large one, but there
have been several applications for
land there.
Governor Frear stated this morn.
ing that it had been planned for q
long time to open up the Hama lands
A shortage of surveyors had delayed
the work. However, all is going well
now and the matter will be attended
to almost Immediately.
Some residential lots at Hakalau,
Hawaii, are also to be thrown open
These are at Hakalau-iki, being Iocat
ed on a narrow strip of land along
the government road. Over twenty
five persons have applied for the resi-
dence lots and the land will soon be
available.

promoters of the sugar trust, but de-
,3cribes the $4,000 present owners of
the stock of the American Sugar Re
hnin5 Company as innocent purchaE-
ers of the profitable stock which was
unloaded on them by the few men
who organized the sugar trust"
Henry o. Havemeyer is given credit
for the organization and of him the
report says:
THAT this colossal speculation has
come through with success and today
stands on an established business
basis is due to the genius of its archi-
tect rather than to any of the restrain
ing powers of society a5 expressed in
the law"
1--WE find strikingly developed in the
sugar industry several evils" says the
committee, aside from the primary
one Of sitting competition, which seem
to demand careful consideration and
remedial legislation by congress.

WASHINGTON, February 1.-THE
"Hardwick Sugar trust" investigating
committee, after many weeks of open
hearings here and in New York and al
most continuous work since last May,
reported to the house today that a
sugar trust exists.
The report, which is signed by all
the members Of the committee, Repub-
licars as well as Democrats, makes no
recommendation as to how the alleged
trust and those responsible for it shall
be dealt with, suggesting that this
phase of the situation be handled by a
standing committee OF the house.
AS to the effect of the combine on
the cost of sugar to the consumer, the
committee expresses the belief that
monopoly keeps the price up, but
makes no attempt to fix ccura,ely the
extent to which reasonable prices un-
der competitive conditions are eX-

At the public works Office today
were opened the tenders for the con

There were four bids put in, and the
following firms were represented: :
Lord & Young Engineering Company
L. NJ. Whitehouse, Honolulu ConstruG

All the bids were well over $4,000
which was the departments estimate
for the work.
There is some figuring to be done
before the lowest bidder can be an,

The difficulties between the Horner

ing nothing Of serious import, were

clude an accusation of unfair methods
on the part of the Theo. H. Davies
Company in an effort to secure the
Kukaiau plantation and the co-opera-
tion Of Robert Horner with the Day
les company in this attempt. In the
bill Albert Horner gives a complete
history Of the corporation from its
founding.
1t was established by Jay M. Hor-
ner, John NJ. Horner and Albert Hor
ner, and then in 1889 Robert was
given a quarter interest for 81 and
the usual love, affection, etc. The un
derstanding at this time according to
Albert Horner's statement, was that
no member Of the corporation should
dispose of any portion Of his stock
