Notes

The Scotch lad was great attraction.
About time to begin to plan another
seriee Of Merchants Days.
Several fine draft teams were seen in
the parade as well as a number of good
single drivers.
The committee is now busy getting the
money together to settle up. Financially
the venture was no more success than
usual.
The lunch vendors do not report a
cleanup" business. People evidently
came to have good time and will show
their appreciation of the entertainment
given them later.
The celebrations at st. Johnsbury and
Jacksonville had their effect on the at
tendance, but Morrisville has no cause to
complain.
Every member of the Continental Drum
Corps was an artist and Link" Girls
wold's notes could be heard in all parts
of the village.
There never were as many autos in town
before. They came from all directions
and everyone was loaded. The livery
men report an unusually small business
in caring for teams.
The Morrisville business men. who
took an active part in the real work pre-
vious to and during the events of the
day, can always be depended upon to do
a thing like this right.
This year, and last year as well. much
credit was due to J. S. Banister for the
active part he took in the preliminary
work of the big undertaking. When
"Joe" starts in he generally starts some
thing.
To the officers and committee, A. G.
Small, w. F. Benson, E. A. Smallev. II.
Waite, @. L. Gates, E. G. Foss. w. F.
Churchill and J. NJ. Kelley, is due the
thanks of all. It's all they get out of the
deal and they are entitled to a unani-
nous vote.
The Jones family float, drawn by
Johns famous mule team, should be Civ
en- special mention. as it was the winner
of the prize for the largest family. John
had his eye on the prize last year, but
was one short of the number necessary
TO win. This year, however, John was
there with IL and won the first prize of
$1,000. q

The prizes were awarded shortly after

VENERABLE FIRE
CLAIMS BOBBING
Up once AGAIN
Ancient Bill Resurrected for
'steenth Time and Started to
Death Chamber Anew
BY C. S. ALBERT.

Especial Star. Bulletin CorresDondence1
WASHINGTON, d. c.. Feb. 7.---An
old, familiar name and face has bobbed
up in the senate The form and dg-
ure are well known to all Hawaiians.
Age has made the step less elastic
and worriment has stopped the shoul-
ders. The beard has whitened and
heightened into whiskers. Otherwise,
the likeness is unchanged.
The bill to reimburse fire insurance
companies for payments made on prop
erty destroyed by fire in supressing
the bubonic plague has been fav0rably
reported and repOses on the calendar
It Is ready for action. q usually pass
es the senate and meets a painless
death in the house. 1t has been cheer
fully plugging along for some 13 years,
Time and trouble account for the de-
veloplnent of whiskers, where only a
beard existed previously.
The bill contains the same old ac.
count of the matter:
The total amount provided for is
$S2,975, of which $13, 400 is for Ameri-
can companies. $30,S00 for German
companies, and $38,775 for English
companies. After the fire. which was
ordered by the government of the Uni
ted States, Congress promptly recog-
nized the liability of the government
for all losses sustained by reason
thereof. and paid said losses, with the
exception of the losses paid to the
policyholders by the insurance com.
panies.
The recommendation made does
not include any accrued interest, costs
of suit, or attorneys fees. The Eng
lish and German governments have,
through their respective ambassadors,
made representations to this govern.
ment respecting the payment of the
claims OF the companies of their re.
spectiye governments, and the secre-
tary Of state at the time Honorable
Elihu Root, having investigated the
situation, recommended such legisIa-
tion. This recommendation is concur.
red in by his successor, the present
secretary of state. tSee correspond
ence attached)
A plague existed in Honolulu. The
authorities decided that it could be
stamped out only by burning and de
stroying this property.
The companies made the defense
that since the government had de-
stroyed the property. they should not
be held to pay the loss, but the courts
held otherwise and the companies
were compelled to pay. They became
subrogated to all of the rights of the
property owners and it is the plain
duty of the government to pay back
to the companies the amounts they
were thus compelled to pay because of
the act of the government In destroy
ing the property,

SEES BIG RESULTS
INOCEAN TRADE
WITH HARMONY
James M. Ashton of Tacoma
Has Idea of Kite Route for
Transpacific Carriers

sin ny opinion tho oban9Aeps of

companies Of Honolulu should place
themselves on intimate terms with
similar organizations in Seattle and
Tacoma and, as far as possible, In
British Columbia, in order that q kite
route for ocean trade may be estab.
Ilshed along harmonious and success
fuI lines. Such project is bound to
come. These conditions, to my mind
will arise with the opening Of the Pa
mama Canal, and the quicker the large
cities Of the northwest and Honolulu
and HiIo get busy IN the undertaking
Of further developing this trade to the
best advantage, the quicker and great
er will be the results"

ands Incensed Over Killing
Of Plantation Men

Under the stIinso6 mat the Oceanic
liner Sonoma was the hiding place Of
men. implicated in the murder of four
copra planters Of German Somoa the
steamship officials called upon the Ho
nolulu police to aid in final search
of the vessel for the stowaways this
morning 1t was the belief of the
officers that the men wanted by the
authorities of the south Pacific group
had succeeded in slowing away in the
American steamer during it's brief Wis.
| it at Pago Pago. The desired men
were not discovered.
The Germany colony in the Samoan
islands was plunged into a reign of
terror at the time of call of the So
noma. Trouble between the "feita-
feNa' or native. police and a delega-
tion of Chinese plantation laborers
brought about riot which terminated
in the death of the planters, and the
calling out of company of marines
to restore order.
In effecting the arrest of num-
Der of Chinese, charged with gambling,
the native police received rough treat
ment. The Chinese were landed in a
prison at Apia, the port of entry for
German Samoa On the evening pre-
Vious to the arrival of the Sonoma,
several of the Chinese succeeded In
making their eseape. The trail was
Immediately taken up by the authori.
ties and assisted by the police a large
sized man hunt was soon in progress
In the melee, several 'feita-feita'' were
jailed and these also gained their lib
erty, secured arms and then made a
demand upon the planters, that the es.
capped Chinese be restored to them
for trial upon a charge Of gambling.
The employers are declared to have
refused the request made by the na.
tive police, who are alleged to have
backed up the demand with a force
of arms. =. ~
In a fight that followed the police
ieveled their weapons upon a delega-
tion of planters and foremen with the
result that four are dead and others
badly wounded. -.1>...s - -.
Excitement ran high at Apia and
at the American settlement and na-
val station at Pago Pago. The Ger
man authorities wirelessed for assist
ance. wi. -.--.-.
If any of the men now sought gain
ed the Sonoma then at Pago Page.
they defied the combined efforts of
the steamship officers and local po-
lice to discover their hiding place.
Three stowaways were found but
these men did not in the least answer
the description forwarded to Captain
Trask and his officers from Apia.
The voyage from Samoa to the Ha-
waiian islands was declared a pleas
ant one by Purser Pray upon arrival
at Honolulu at daylight this morning.
The American steamer is carrying

destined for San Francisco.
The Honolulu list included 6 cabin.
