Clatt Caught
With The Joker
When His Opponent Rummied
Foxy Ex-Merchant Was Caught
With the Losing Card-Too
Many Irons in the Fire.

Charles Glatt, formerly in the
clothing business here. and who
did some exporting in the way
Of busting up, was arrested by the
government and placed under
81 900 bonds, all growing out of
his alleged speculative tendency
in selling his evidence in a Grim
inal case to- the highest bidder.
Judge E.ngerud, the United States
district attorney, caused the ar
rest and Glatt is in Jail in default
of bonds. Glatt is the same fel-
low who had the editor of the
State arrested for criminal libel
last summer, having been client
of Miller & Costello, who, how
ever, did not appear to help him
when the matter came to trial. In
the preliminary examination, at
which the editor of the State was
promptly acquitted. Glatt COM
mitted perjury with all the free
dom you could imagine. But
Col. Greenleaf tore his testimony
to pieces and charged him with
perjury in court at the time. We
said that he came here full of
hope and prune juice and now all
hope is gone, and he insisted that
his hope was not all gone. Glatt
left town hurriedly but some
trunks We're grabbed before he
got away. He is believer in

The above notification fro1s.

comes as good news to all inter-
ested in the Beach schools. The

spected and classified as third

1912 at a meeting of the stat.
board of education at Fargo the
Beach school was designated as
one of the five agricultural hig!,
schools with special aid Of $2,-
500 and this carried with it fret
class classification as far as
course of study, teachers and
thoroughness was concerned, and
our graduates were allowed en-
trance into any college or univer-

that our graduates may go to an

uates without examination.
This classification will insure tn
Us our state aid which in all no.

PEPEEKEO CROP
FOR 1918 WELL
ABOVE ESTIMATE

The Pepeekeo Sugar Company last
year had an output of S951.t5 tons OF
sugar from 2013 acres. according %
the report of Manager James Webster,
submitted this morning at the al
nual shareholders meeting. held in
the offices of C. Brewer & Company
agents for the company. or this
acreage, 331 belonged to planters out
side OF the company. For this wear s
crop the manager estimates u yield
of $500 tons from 1865 acres. OF which
543 acres belongs to independent
farmers.
The manager states that the last
year crop ran considerably over his
estimate, due to unusual growth OF
the cane in the early part of 1913.
The outlook for this year is consid-
cred satisfactory and the growth of
the cane for the 1915 crop is said TO
be fully six months ahead of any pre-
yious crop. ...
The reduction in: area over last
year occurs by reason of the fact that
various homesteaders who have been
supplying cane to the mill have with
Drawn their holdings. One lot, the
manager says, has been changed from
cane to peanuts, bananas, tare and
other garden crops. There has been
end abundance of good labor and the
mill has been doing good work. Gem
orally speaking, the manager seems
to feel that things are in satisfactory
condition on the plantation. He in
dicates that there has been consider.
able trouble and expense in keeping
I'D the laborers' quarters to the proper
standard. An elaborate water supply
system for the camps is the most re-
cent call upon the plantation,

fit on sugar last year of $94,435.61,
besides some $4,000 from other

Street funds
LYING idle IS
NOW COMMENDED

While several hundred men are re-
ported TO be out of work and hunting
for jobs. attention has been called to
the fact that there is $Il.000 lying
idle in the territorial treasury. avail
able at any time for the macadamiz-
ing OF several miles OF streets in the
Punchbowl district. the work to be
done under the direction Of the super
intendent of public works.
A difficulty over getting the curb
ing laid on these streets is responsible
for the delay, for matchmaking is
rot 10 be done until the curbs are
set The city and county engineer, L..
NJ. Whitehouse. has had men working
in this district for some time. getting
the lines and grades for the curbings
fixed. But as several of the owners
have refused to put in curbs. the
work has not progressed as rapidly
as expected.
One thoroughfare has been all
ourbed except in front of some four
or five pieces OF property, the owners
of which have so far failed to have
the work done. An aggressive COM
mittee of the Auwaiolimu Improve.
ment Club has managed to push the
work thus far. On December 10 the
supervisors adopted a resolution to
compel all owners to put in curbs
within so days. But now difficulty
has arisen. P L. Weaver having given
an opinion that if proceedings are
brought against property owners on
one street to compel the laying OF
cuIbs, all the owners. of land in the
district must be made parties to the
suits.
With the exception of $4,000 which
was direct appropriation by the last
legislature, tine 1000 referred to IS
the money which was paid in by the
purchasers of the Auwaiolimu LOIS
when they were sold by the govern
ment year or more ago, and by law.
this money is available for road work
in the district.
Another thing that the Auwaiolimu
Improvement Club is trying to hurry
up is the placing of street signs at
the street intersections in the new
district. -.. -.
