GAVE VISITORS
WEIRD IDEAS OF
LIFE IN ISLANDS
Representative Rodenberg Told
Sierra Passengers of VaCCi-
nation Against Fruit Fly

! Representative Rodenherg is max.
ing his second visit to the Islands,
which accounts for his ability to
frame a story that would startle his
fellow passengers on the Sierra en-
! route. When the honorable gentle
man made his first trip TO the Islands
| il was as a member, perhaps chair
man, Of the Civil Service Commission.
and he had with him portly gentle
man, also a member of the commits
! sion, whose official residence was in
Washington, d. c.
| II was during that visit that he
made the Fourth OF July address in
Hilo and il was some speech. There
are those who heard it that haTesonly
to close their eyes, and in their
dreams they see Old Glory ripping
as it did then, and there was nothing
| but the magnetism of Mr.. ROdenberg
| that made it move. And talk about
the eagles scream, why every mynah
bird within a radius of several blocks
of the Hilo hotel took up the notes,
and each Fourth of July they think OF
ROdenberg and the flag and turn
loose. But about his story on the boat,
They say it was in the smoking
room of The Sierra, when he got to-
gether a number of first trippers. He
told them how the land was all the
property Of John d. Rockefeller and
the beaches belonged to the Spreckels
family, and those who wanted to
battle in the ocean were Obliged to
Fay a license of ten dollars per an
rum. ...-....
Honolulu was backward about bag
gage transfer facilities, he said. The
Hawaiians were too easy-going to
work and when a man went ashore
with a trunk he would find street
merchants with skads of rope which
they would sell the passengers and
they could draw their baggage to the
hotels. But the greatest bother to
visitors, Mr.. Rodenberg told them,
was the law regarding sanitation and
the protection Of the fruit industry.
Every person landing on the shores
of Oahu had to submit to vaccination
to make them immune from the Med
iterranean fruit fly attacks. Aside
from these little annOyances HOnOlu'
lu and the islands generally were all
right.
One of the listeners who had paid
great attention to the remarks and
kept still, said quietly: ''Rody,
have five in my party and at ten per
it will cost me fifty for bath. l do
not think | would kick at that, but at
fruit fly vaccination, draw the line.
You will make my excuses to the
delegate and his constituents, for I'm
going to stay aboard this ship till she
gets back to Gods country. Three
rousing cheers" ...... -.

YACHT EIkA IS
DELAYED BECAUSE
OF FEDERAL Law
~ 8. / u 1 .
Judge Cooper, "King of Pal.
myra," Appeals to WASH
ington For Relief

Because he has a commission to
take some freight to Tanning Island
in his yacht Luka, Former Judge Hen
ry E. Cooper who had hoped to sail
for Tanning and Palmyra islands on
Saturday of this week, may have to
postpone his sailing or give up his
freight cargo, on account of the pres
ent shipping laws.
Mr. Cooper owns Palmyra Island,
and the Luka ordinarily sails between
the island and this port solely on
the owners business. The Luka is a
small sailing vessel with an auxiliary
steam engine, and ordinarily carries
a master, an engineer and a crew OF
six men.
Because of the freight carrying
commission for this trip, however,
the shipping laws insist upon a mast
er and two mates in addition to the
six men of the crew, and moreover,
to comply with the letter of the law,
the three officers must be fully quail
flied as officers of steam vessels, and
one of them must be licensed en-
gineer.
The qualified meh are not to Oe
had in Honolulu to fill the positions"
said Mr.. Cooper this morning THE
regulations under the present law
seem to me to be absurd, and what,
they will be under the new law no one
can even imagine. ~.s..
My ship is of only 126 gross tons
and is merely sailing ship with
auxiliary gasoline engines, yet the
law. as interpreted by the local in.
spector, would make her have the
same complement of officers required
on any steamship up to 999 tons. AS
matter of fact there is no space on
the ship to make room for the addi-
tional crew required ''' - ".s
Mind you, am taking no passen-
gers, only freight. / have cabled a
long protest and appeal to the general
supervisor Of inspectors at Washing
ton, and may be given a special rul-
ing" r.. 49, y
When she leaves port on this trip
the Luka will be away about six
weeks. After leaving freight at Fam.
ing Island Mr. Cooper, who will him
self be aboard, will go to Palmyra,
which is about $50 miles northwest
of the cable station island. @.@

LITTLE BRITISH
STEAMER KESTREL
ISN'T REPORTED
Shipping Men Feel No Alarm
But "StrategiStS" Have
War Explanation

While no alarm is expressed in 10
cal shipping circles at the prolonged
absence OF the British steamer Kes
trel from Honolulu on its cruise in
the South Pacific, considerable spec
ments of the vessel. which has not
been reported since II left port on
March I2.
one possibility pointed out today
though admitted to be only a posi-.
bility and not yet worthy Of serious
consideration--is that the German
commerce-raider reported of the
coast OF Chile few weeks ago may
have gone down into the South Seas
and found chance to gobble up the
little British steamer.
The Kestrel, operated by the Arm
strong Company in transporting sup
plies between Honolulu and Tanning
and Washington islands, left Homo
lulu to visit islands in the Gilbert and
Marshall groups for the purpose Of
recruiting labor.
e. L. Tindeli was In charge of the
vessel, which was expected to leave
about 100 tons OF supplies at Tanning
island, base Of operations for the
Armstrong South Sea islands copra
estates. Tindell also took an auto
mobile. The vessel was expected to
steam TO Tanning in about a week.
Even allowing only another week to
discharge its freight, and two weeks
IN making the Gilbert islands, local
shipping men are not alarmed for the
safety of the ship.
There are no hard and fast rules
observed in labor recruiting or black
birding in the South Pacific. Ship
ping men at Honolulu say that much
of the success attending the efforts
OF the labor agents depends upon the
report brought back to the islands by
those who have recently completed
their contracts.
The Kestrel left Honolulu with a
quantity OF brightly colored cloth.

BADGER GAME
PALS NOW MUST
DO HARD LABOR

A suspended sentence Of 13 months
was the punishment melted out to JohE
T. Scully by Circuit Judge Ashford
this morning, the former having re-
Gently pleaded guilty to charge OF
second degree robbery. T.
That Scully had ''peaehed on his
pals" were not the exact words used
by A. NJ Brown, deputy city and coun-
ty attorney, in asking for suspended
sentence. The attorney did say, how
ever, that it was due to information
given by Scully that indictments were
found against Paul Boggs, George A.
('Bert"o Bower and j. J. McGrath,
who also pleaded guilty to the rob-
berry charge. s..
1t was with little ceremony that
Judge Ashford disposed of all but one
of the so-ealled badger game cases.
Boggs, on account of serious physical
condition, was sentenced to one week
in Oahu prison at hard labor, includ-
ing the costs of the court. According
to Boggs' attorney, the defendant is
expected to live little more than two
months. He is suffering from sciatica.
Oahu prison for not less than three
and one-half years at hard labor.
Henry B. Lewis, who was indicted
with Seully on a second degree rob.
berry charge, was sentenced to two
years in prison at hard labor. In ad.
dition to their sentences Bower and
Lewis will pay the costs of the court.
McGrath Still Missing.
J. j. McGrath, who pleaded guilty
to a robbery charge, was not in court
He is still at large, following an es-
cane from the city and county Jail.
Lewis, Bower and Boggs were SEN
fenced under the indeterminate SEN
tence act Bower, tor instance, may
be paroled at the end of three and
one-half years, or he may remain in
prison until the end OF 90 years, which
is the maximum, unless paroled. These
conditions apply to the others receiv-
ing sentence.
I In sentencing Bower, Judge Ashford
said that the employment of making
money. at the point OF a gun cannot
be tolerated in q well-regulated COM
munity as Honolulu Is supposed to be.
A strong plea was made by counsel
for leniency in the case of Lewis,
principally on the point that he is a
young man. At one time counsel sug-
gested a suspended sentence. COun-
sci said that Lewis on one occasion
had been given an opportunity by A.
M. Brown to turn stool pigeon"
against Scully, but that Lewis had re-
fused. Judge Ashford, in pronouncing
sentence, asked that Lewis make
man Of himself while N jail, saying
that he had one of two decisions to
make-to become an honest man or
desperate Lewis had nothing to say
why sentence should not be pronounc-
ed against him.
Scully was first arrested with
Boggs, McGrath and Bower. His case
was nolle pressed when it became evil
dent that he would De a witness for
the prosecution. He later was arrest
ed with Lewis on a robbery charge
His suspended sentence today settled
the latter case
