Nobody connected with the sugar

who knew anything that would lend
the slightest tincture, by polariscope

going coast rumors. Il
"Its the first ever heard of such
thing" was the answer of I. H.
Petrie, of Castle & Cooke, Ltd, who
smiled jointly with Manager w. w.
Goodale of Waialua plantation, then
happening to be with him, at the idea.
John Guild, of Alexander & Bald
win, Ltd, was equally in the dark
about any mysterious emissary of the
trusts prowling around.
Would you sell out?" he was
asked. His only reply was grin, as
the telephone just then asked speech

RUSSIANSFLEEING
FROM VAR IN
TENYO MARU

The second delegation OF Russians
escaping military duty with Siberian
centingents and passing through Ho
nolulu, are passengers in the Toyo
Kisen Kaisha- liner Tenyo Maru, which
this morning steamed for the coast.
Reporting more than 100000 troops
encamped between Vladivostok and
Hardin awaiting the opening of com.
munication with European Russia in
the early spring, members OF the par.
", who after much difficulty made
their way to Korea and Japan, hope
to take up more peaceful pursuit on
the Pacific coast.
Yladivostok, to which port on the
Siberian coast constant stream OF
freighters are unloading war supplies
and munitions, is said to have become
an immense naval and army base.
Thousands of Russian subjects
along the Siberian coast were i'm.
pressed into service, which those now
fastening to a neutral country say
has become very distasteful.
The Russian government, they say,
has contracted for many million ru-
bles' worth of army equipment, much
Of which will come from the United
we're weather has materially retarded
operations around Vladivostok.
Tha transiberian railroad, stretch
ing for more than 1000 miles to the
eastern frontier, is believed barely
able to cope with the freight awaiting
transportation to Russia and the bat
tie front For miles along this line
thousands of tons of merchandise and
supplies are piled, protected against
the rigors of winter by tarpaulins.
1t was learned with the arrival of
the Tenyo that more than $4,000 Ger.
mans, made prisoners at the siege Of
Przemysd, are detained at VladiVostok
camps.
The Tenyo left about 1900 tons Of
Oriental merchandise at Honolulu
This vessel relieved much of the con-.
gestion at Hongkong and the Japan
csc ports. The big liner dragged
the bottom of the harbor In coming
to its berth at Pier Z.
More than 500 passengers continued
the journey to San Francisco IN the
liner at o'clock this morning. The
steamer carried a large mail for the
mainland.
