PRICE OF ALL 11E PUNCHBoWL@ LOTS IS SENT SOARING
HOME BUYERS AND LAND SPECTATORS IN HOT SKRMSti
Purchasers Pay Almost
Twice the Upset
Figures.

Sentiment and sympathy struggled
with spite and selfshness yesterday
afternoon at the auction sale Of the
seventy-three Punchbowl lots on the
Capitol grounds. In most cases evil
emotions won, as is indicated by the
fact that the lots brought $s7,1TS.25,
while the upset prices totaled but
$4,000
Promptly at twelve O'Clock Land
Commissioner Tucker announced the
sale from the steps of the Capitol and.
adjourned the auction to the band
stand, where he was Immediately sur
rounded by an orderly but anxious
crowd of prospective purchases.
Most of them were Portuguese who
have had their homes on Punchbowl
for many years, but not under condi-
tions to allow them preference rights.
In the crowd there were also mum
Der of Chinese and Hawaiians and
sprinkling of land sharks.
Before commencing the sale Mr..
Tucker said that there were some who
had lived on the land for years and
vet under the law they had no prefer
ence rights. ~ should like to see
them get the lots at the upset price, y
said Mr.. Tucker.
| His wishes in the matter, however,
appeared to have little weight, for only
one lot was sold at the upset price.
Peter High secured his large lot at a
figure very near to the upset price.
The appraised value of this lot was
$5715 and he was allowed to buy 1T
in at round six thousand dollars. A.
G.. Cambria got lot 2 in block l3 for
exactly its appraised value, $6l3.25.
Bidding Is Hot.
In most cases two or three times the
appraised value was paid and there
was vigorous competition to secure the
lots. The first lot sold was lot in
block 2, which J. G. Faria got for
$2015. It's upset price was $T59.6o'
The last lot sold brought but four hun
bred dollars and this was the lowest
price which any lot brought. The high
est price paid was by Mr.. High, $4,000,
and he certainly got the full value IN
return. The next highest price paid
was for lot ! in block l6, for which
Ho Poi Kee paid $4loo.
The Portuguese were there to &C
the limit of their capital to secure the
lots on which they have made theil
homes, regardless of the fact that
much better property can be secured
elsewhere for quarter or even
fifth of the prices paid. Some tears
were shed by the women when thell
capital could not be stretched to tot
the bidding against them, and they
were forced to reconcile themselves u

WITH HER
ROOM MATE, THEN DIED
Details Of Suicide of Mrs. UPLAND
Brought by Officers Of
the Makura.

A confirmation of the report of the
tragedy, reported in The Advertiser,
which occurred on board the Zealandi2
when four days out from Honolulu on
her last trip, was made Tuesday by the
officers of the Makura, which arrived
from Sydney. II was reported several
days ago that Mrs. Elite Upland and
her baby son had been drowned in
mid'ocean, the mother jumping from.
the deck of the ship with her child in
her arms. The Makura passed the
Zealandia at sea on the night Of Au-
gust j, bound from Auckland to sgd
ney, and full account of the TRACE
dy was received by the officers of the
Makura upon arrival in Auckland.
According to the officers of the Ma
,lura, the tragedy took place while
the Zealandia was en- route from SuvE.
to Auckland Mrs. Upland was ac-
companied by two sons, one six and
the other eight years old. During the
afternoon of July 81, she had had 8.
quarrel with her roommate, which re-
suited in the two women coming to
blows and Mrs. Upland getting the
worst of it. The stewardess of the
second cabin interfered and endeav-
ored to settle the dispute. Several
passengers were attracted by the dis
turbance and upon learning the cause
found Mrs. Upland to have been in the
wrong. During the evening mono of
the passengers spoke to Mrs. Upland,
which caused her to brood over the
happenings of the day.
Later in the evening, passengers no.
ticed her come on deck with her six
year.old son and inquire from one of
the deck hands for the doctor. Little
attention was paid her until she was
seen to raise the boy to the rail MS ii
to push him overheard. Several OF
nearby passengers made an attempt TO
save the child but too late. Before
they could reach the pair the boy and
mother had jumped from the rail and
disappeared beneath the waves.
| The vessel was brought to n stand
still as soon as possible and boat
lowered, in which were the first ana
second officers The liner was hove to
for three hours while the search was
being made but no trace was found OF
the bodies. 1t was thought that the
bodies were sucked down by the pro-
pellers and mutilated, thus causing
them to sink.
Mrs. Upland boarded the Zealandia
at Honolulu and was returning to hel
home in Australia. 1t is reported thai
, she left her husband in Honolulu.
