HILO, December s.--During the
week Special Prosecutor Brcckons filed
a suit in behalf of the county against
eX-Treasurcr Lalnkea, asking for judy
ment in an ordinary assumpsit action,
on two,eounts of $50 and $685. rospcc-
lively. This action was brought in the
circuit court, so no answer may be
expected for some time. 1t was filed
for comparatively small amount in
order that a final decision may be OBJ,
tanned from the local supreme court,
If this IS favorable, the suits for the
rest of the amount for which it. is
thought Lalakca is liable, will be
brought for sums less than $1,000, thus
preventing an appeal to Washington.
On the other hand, if the Hawaii su.
premc court decided in Lalallea - favor,
the government will lump the suits for
amounts larger than $4,000, SO it will
have a chance TO appeal TO Washington.
Last week. also, Breckons filed n
couple OF suits in aSsumpslt in the dis
trict court against John Kealoba The
total amount involved covers the 900,
which KealOha is trying to get the
auditor to pay him through mandamus
proceedings. Breckons hopes to get
judgment for the amount, so the county
can make a showing Of a set-on', which
will put an eilectual lIbosh on the man
damus business.
kcaloha appeared for himself when
the cases came mp before Judge Wise
last Friday afternoon. lie asked that
they be continued until his guide, phil.
0sopher aud friend Mcbride returned
from Honolulu and this was granted.
In this connection Breokons has n
new surprise to spring. If he gets
Judgment against Keploha, he will
make demand for the payment thereof

Her Majesty, Queen Liliuokaiani, in
a graceful letter Of acceptance, stating
her sympathy with the object for which
the Eks Grand Charity Ball ON New

intention of heading the list Of patron
esses who will be. sponsor for the. event

ter was received yesterday morning 1t
was dated December !
Final action was taken by the gen
eral committee which is handling the
affair on the motion to devote the whole
net proceeds to charity. \ meeting of
the committee was held yesterday. The
motion passed was as follows.
That the net proceeds of the Elks
Charity Ball be donated 10 general pub
lie charity throughout the Territory of
Hawaii and that they shall be dis
pensed under the supervision of the eX-
ecutivc committee of the Elks Charity
Ball.
1t was the original intention of the
committee of donating a portion of the
proceeds to charity and the balance TO
the Elks building fund, but it was
thought after considerable deliberation
yesterday, that il would carry ont more
of the spirit of charity ball If all Of

HITO, December 7.-Musicians have
strange powers. Orpheus charmed the
birds out of the trees, and the Piper of
Hamelin lured the rats from their
holes, but when the Hilo band last
week tried to get the county fathers
to raise the salary of their leader, Joa-
quin Carvalho, to 800 month, the
musicians stretched their powers too
much. They failed in spite of the fact
that the petition which they presented
contained flowers of speech like this:
eve appreciate the difficult task he
(Carvalbo) has to perform in satisfy
ing the peculiar wants of the members
~ the band, often times very unreas-
enable they are, and the Judgment of a
man in his position is taxed to the
Limit in using the best discretion. We
realize that he cannot please every
one, but an understanding can always
be had, so that dissenson is arranged
satisfactorily to all sides
The petition went on to set forth
that man like that ought to have
800, and the members of the band,
eighteen strong, including four other
Carvalhos, signed il. But the super
visors referred the petition to the
Gnauce committee, and that body
thought that 5000 month was enough
for the band, so it recommended that
the petition be denied, and this is
what happened

the annual report of RearAdmiral Vie
tor Blue, chief Of the bureau of navi-
cation, made public today. He urges

of forty each year, the Junior ensign
reaches the grade of lieutenant at an
age at which officers are now promoted
to be captain.
Admiral Blue says "A circular letter
is being sent to the principals of high
schools to ascertain ii the examination
for admission to the naval academy is
such as the ordinary high school stu
dent should be capable of passing.
Members of congress also are being aid

HlLO, December s.--Last week the
Konu police, through the aid of a Jap
ancsc niormer, arrested Yasuge, who
murdered another japanese at Laupa

through gambling and, though he prom
ised to return it, lasuge waited for
several years without getting it.
On the night of the murder Nasuge,
who had been drinking, met Takahashi
and his wife on the road between l.au.
pahoehoe and Papaaloa. He called
i'akahashi cheat and struck him with
a guava stick. Taltahashi bit his hand,

him, opcned il with his teeth and cut

MADE GOOD AND
Gets PROMOTION
John Q. Wood Goes to the Most
Picturesque Capital in
the World.

(Mail Special to The Advertiser)
WASHINGTON. November 81
President Wilson has recently nominal
ted score of consuls for promotion
and the senate has speedily confirmed
them. One of these promotions apper-
tains to John Q. Wood, citizen of the
world, Yankee of the type ose sees
portrayed sometimes upon the stage,
a friend OF everybody and very sue
cessful man. He comes from Bucksport
Maine, by gum, but that was only the
beginning Honolulu knew him not so
many years ago as n remarkably sue
eessful hustler and it was from Homo
lulu that he graduated into the con
sular service. Before that he had gone
to Wesleyan University in Connecticut,
where he was a student under Wood
row Wilson, destined at that time to
become President of the United States.
He had also practised law for while
in Boston, the hub of the universe.
Where Bullets Flew.
Wood has been consul at Tripoli in
Barbary, North Africa, at n salary of
$4,000 a year. He got along superbly
in that center of warfare between Tur-
key and Italy. Somehow or other he
managed to be the friend of the Turk
and the friend of the Italian while
bullets We're flying Many difficult
diplomatic task fell to his lot while
that warfare was in progress. Because
of the absolute neutrality of the United
States Wood was often called upon to
act there in preference to the consuls
of European powers. The Turks be-
came convinced that he was a friend
worth having. The consul came home
few months ago by way of Italy and
in that kingdom he was received with
great eclat in official circles.
But now he goes to the most pictur-
esque capital probably in all the world.
This satisfies his ambition for the mo-
ment. He arrived in Washington some
months ago, seeking Il promotion, and
he goes to Ads Ababa as consul at a
salary $1,000 more than he was getting
at TripoA. Ads Ababa is the capital
of Abyssinia and the home of King
Menelek. 1t gained new fame some
| years ago when Skinner was consul in
that vicinity and carried on friendly
| negotiations with Menelek, who sent
splendid presents, including some lions,
to Washington for President Roosevelt.
Abyssinia is wild and rugged eoun-
| try but it is of commercial interest to
America. The consumption of cotton
goods there is on the jump and Consul
Wood can coax trade, the while he
hunts elephants, rhnoceros, girafies
zebras, lions and other equatorial game
and hobnoLs with Menelek and the
chief men of that army of 100000
trained warriors. The city is 5000 feet
above sea level, which fact makes il
habitable for white men in its location
OF ten degrees north of the equator
Menelek is Il progressive monarch and
the new American consul will undoubt
eddy get along magnificently with him
and to the credit of the government at
Washington.
