800 Thrifty Portuguese Draw
Savings and Bid Their Linn

Drawing their boards from the say.
ings banks of the city, about 500 Por.
tuglIese assembled at the Capitol
building this morning to attend the
auction sale of Punchbowl lots and in
spirited competition boosted the price
Of the tracts sold to four times the
upset figure IN most instances and in
some cases sent them higher.
Governor Frear, who was an inter.
ested spectator, was besieged by the
eager buyers who sought to win the
preference and Land Commissioners
Tucker was equally popular with the
crowds.
The auction OF the seventy-seyen
Punchbowl lots was held to be q
striking manifestation OF Portuguese
thrift.
During the past three days there
has been a veritable run on the saw
inxs banks OF Honolulu by depositors
OF this nationality, drawing their
boards of many years to apply to
the purchase OF homes.
A Star Bulletin reporter this morn
Ing visited the three savings banks to
obtain an approximate estimate OF the
amount withdrawn by the Portuguese
in the time mentioned. The total
amount was found TO be more than
thirteen thousand dollars, almost
equally giyided between the three I'M
stttntI0ns A large number of &C.
counts were tapped. as the amounts
averaged only q few hundred dollars.
Besides the savings withdrawn, a
considerable sum was paid out in
loans, which not few OF the Portu-
guese were In q position to negotiate.
Poor Land In Demand.
Many OF these pieces are said to
be so steep that they are almost unfit
for ordinary use, Quite naturally, the
bulk Of the most desirable pieces in
the tract were taken up long ago,
when the people built their homes
and again when they received their
preference right allotments, so that.
generally speaking. the best of the
land In the tract was not sold today,
leaving only the very poorest parcels.
Yet the excitement became SO great

Tired of Being Treated Like
Dynamiters, " Says Chair
man Pacheco ....

Bitter denunciation of Governor
Frearis action in ignoring the Demo

Exposition commission will form one
of the big planks In the platform on
which a committee is at work and
which will be submitted to the DEM
ocrats in convention for approval.
This was decided upon last night
at meeting of the Democratic Ter
ritorial Central Committee.
Chairman M. G. Pacheco said in
speaking OF the proposed plank:
Governor Frear and the Republi-
cans have consistently ignored the
Democrats In every commission nam
ed, and when the Governor named five
Republicans on a committee like that
of the Panama. Pacific Exposition, in
which residents of Hawaii of every
party are interested, It is time to de-
nounce his act.
Governor Frear has always tDat-
ed the Democrats as if they were
dynamiters and something to be kept
ont Of sight, but there is going to, be
q change here very soon, and then
Governor Frear and his ilk must not
compliant when they are forced to
take a dose of their own medicine.
We shall treat the Republicans as they
have treated us.
One member of. the. central commit.

he had received from r. j. Ryan and
which seemed to express the sentf

As to the amount that the purchaser of q five cent box Of biscuits or q nickel pack age of gum could same through the Chcapening of the sugar entering into it's manufacture. the computation ran so many decimal points that it was diff fjcult to find d term to express it. As d matter of fact of course the manu- facturer or dealer would keep for him. self these slight fractional advantages and the consumer would stand exactly where he loes today. To effect the saving promised to consumers by the refiners in their fight for a free raw product for themselves it would be necessary to make the entire saving on the three eights sold directly to fam flies This would figure out about six cents a pound or just about the aver age retad price of sugar. The real genius of the calculator is revealed in his proposal that the reftners be per mitted t7 have their way in the aboli- ton of the sugar duty if they will file bonds actually to deliver the savings they nave promised to consumers which would virtually mean that each family would get about 150 pounds of sugar d year free of all cost.
