SPANISH CONSUL'S
NAME USED TOHIDE
OPIUM SMUGGLING?
Daring Plot Uncovered by Federal Officials and Seventeen
Tins Selzed-Barber Figures as an Innocent Center of
Excitement About the Case. III.

A high-handed and ingenious plot
TO smuggle opium into Honolulu, by
using the name and position of high
official of a foreign government as d
cloak for the alleged transaction, was
uncovered this morning. In, daring
and cool impudence, the plan sur.
passes any of the schemes attempted
heretofore to smuggle the poppy pro
duct through this port.
While United States District -Attor-
ney Breckons refused to give out any
Of the details of the seizure, or to ad-
NIT that any arrest had been made,
he was in conference with Collector
of the Port Staekable this afternoon,
and when asked TO confirm details,
stated that he had only heard of the
matter few moments before, and
could not possobly say anything until
he had acquainted himself with the
facts as known.
1t is said that the person, or group
os persons who tried to put through
tie deal collected seventeen tins of
contraband dope and left the same in
a package done up in newspaper, and
alleged to be addressed to the Spanish
consul general, Senor Ignacio de Ara
ma. The daring fraud, according to
the whispers that went the rounds of
officialdom, was. exposed through the
agency of Joseph Fernandez, of the
Silent barber shop, and the police put
on the track by him.
Il have nothing to say about this
said Mr.. Fernandez. 81 have told the
proper authorities and they asked me
to say nothing at all until they could
make investigations. 1t might block
their work if | spoke for the papers" ."
Consul-general Arana could not be
found at his office this afternoon.
Federal authorities stated this af
ternoon that any report connecting the
name of the Spanish consul with the
affair, tending to reflect on his action
in any way would be absolutely wrong
They asserted their conviction that
his connection or action was only as
the consular agent of a foreign gov
ernment and that he was ignorant of
the apparent attempt to smuggle the
contraband. -. .
The report is that Pedro Bernard,
one of the BARRIERS at Fernandez shop
on Hotel street this morning, drew a
package from the Wells-Fargo express
office, on a card handed him by the
consul One of those with whom Ber-
nard discussed the affair later, said

PRESIDENT TAFT ASSURED MADERO OF FRIENDSHIP
PERSIA OFFICER
UNCONSCIOUS
FROM FALL
=: : y 49,. 2 ........

Chief officer A. H. George, for
years identified with the Pacific Mail
service and of late wiAAthe steamer
Persia, is returning to the mainland
for expert medical treatment as pas
senger in that vessel, the man being
wholly unconscious, through a fall of
eighteen feet from lower deck 20

Chief Officer George is the victim
of an accident that occurred while the
Persia was laying off Woosung, China,
awaiting the lifting of the fog in order
that the vessel coulQ take on .passen-
gers and land cargo destined for
Shanghai, some sixteen miles away.
George was assisting a carpenter
in the preparation of chute for the
handling of freight.
He had descended to the main deck,
bearing lighted candle, when with
out note of warning the popular Of
ficer was precipitated through a for
ward hatch to the bottom of the ship,
a distance of nearly twenty feet.
George struck upon his head, result
ing in serious fracture of the base
of the skull and causing concussion of
the brain.
That the man is alive today is con-
sidered in the light of a miracle
Save for the unfortunate mental
condition, George is apparently sound
physically and enjoying good health.
In falling through the hatch the Off
Ger is declared to have sustained no
other injuries than those to his head.
George was taken to the Shanghai
general hospital where he underwent
an operation for trepanning. From
the moment That he had dropped to
the Persia's lower hold until the pres
tent date, the eoffieeF remembers moth
ing concerning what happened He is
said to have fuily1 recovered from all
effects of the fall save the complete
loss of memory.
The Persia's officer is to be taken
TO San Francisco and there may again
go under an operation at the hands
of one of the best medical experts on
the coast. d. .... -. - .....-. -.-f..
His shipmates are confident that

though it is believed that 1t will De

that Bernard claimed he believed the
package contained some reading ma
terial from Spain, On opening it, aft
er luncheon, he found number of
magazines, but at the bottom discoy-
cred the mysterious small boxes,
wrapped in Chinese newspapers. At
first he thought these were Spanish
playing cards. but the Chinese papers
aroused his curiosity, and he carried
one of the boxes out into the shop and
displayed it to Pacheco. The latter
opened it and disclosed the poppy
juice. ..... +.
Astounded by their discovery, the
pair carried the entire package to the
pharmacy nearby, where they phoned
to E. R. Stackable, informing him of
their find. -. t. - -. III =:
II is understood Bernard claims he
was first notified on Saturday that
the package awaited him at the ex-
press office. He is said to claim
that a young woman with whom he
has been keeping company told him
that the Spanish consul had informed
her the package was awaiting Bern
ards call. He said today he thought
nothing more of it until the consul
called on him at the barber shop this
morning. T. ~.

of the Liberty Theatre Company, and
teller with the First American Sav.
ings and Trust Company, who was al.
legged to have left the islands for

Chong was an arrival today by the
Pacific Mail liner Persia. in company
with Chief Of Detectives Arthur Nc

Chong was tracked to Yokohama
and Kobe by McDuffie, who followed

needed exercise. ..s- r.-. ..-
Chong is alleged to have admitted
to the Japanese authorities that his
peculations will reach a figure total
ling close upon fifty thousand dollars.
He is further said to have admitted
that considerable portion of this
money was invested in moving picture
films, that were ordered and shipped
from the coast and forwarded to the
Japan and China coast, there to be
used by string of photo-play houses.

Two Lively Fights

Two "insurgent" movements in the
ranks of the Legislators gathering here
for the 1913 session developed over
Sunday in an unmistakable manner.
A fight is Oh against Eric Knudsen,
senator from Kauai, as president of
the senate and another fight is on

Senator Cecil Brown of Oahu is be.

friends for president OF the senate.
and this morning several of these
friends expressed themselves as con-
fident OF his success. George P.

contestant for speaker of the house
Though he NAV be given some strong
support, no certainty has been shown
that he can defeat the veteran Hoi.

The insurgents" are busy as bees
today laying their lines for a com.

cant that right at the start there is
evident a plan to swing the Demo
cratic members of the senate and
house in on some kind OF an agree
ment that will insure the insurgent
movement going through. In fact,
with a split in Republican ranks over
these offices, the Democrats hold the
balance of power and their assist

A fire is burning in the hold of the
Inter-Island Steam Navigation liner
Mauna Kea now at Hilo, caused by
the Stacking of a large shipment Of
Hawaiian lime
At eight o'clock this morning the
situation remained unchanged accord
f. ing to a wireless message received
by President and General Manager
James A. Kennedy.
Between three and four hundred
barrels of the lime loaded aboard the
vessel at Honolulu caught fire late
Sunday night and despite the efforts
of the officers and crew, is said to
have gained considerable headway.
The lime is stored in the forward
hold of the Mauna Kea.
Orders were issued this morning for
the dispatch of the steamer Kfla-
'uea for Hilo, the vessel sailing for the
Hawaii port at noon today. The Kila-
uea will reach Hilo at an early hour
tomorrow morning, and take all pas
sengers booked for Honolulu in the
Mauna Kea. The Kilauea should ar
rive here Tuesday afternoon in ample
time for transhipment of passengers
and mails TO the Matson Navigation
liner Lurline scheduled to said for
San Francisco at six o'clock tomorrow
evening.
Details concerning the fire thus far
received here are extremely neager.
To cope with lime fire on board a
vessel is considered in shipping
circles a most difficult operation.
Water or steam is being used to fight
the fire now smouldering below the
hatches in the Inter-Island steamer.
1t is the intention to- flood the for
ward hold of the Mauna Kea with
water sufficient to speedily slack ali
lime contained therein. To complete
the work may require considerable
time. The vessel is pronounced in no
immediate danger. the trouble being
confined entirely to the compartment
holding the lime.
The Mauna Kea was to have return
ed to Honolulu early tomorrow morn
ing, and prepare for sailing for regu-
lar ports of call on Maui and Hawaii
at ten o'clock Wednesday morning.
