FIRST
COOPERATIVE
Mill PLANNED

For the first time in the islands, a
cooperative sugar mill will be in oper-
alton on Hawaii soon, If the plans of
125 homesteaders owning cane lands
in the vicinity Of Laupahoehoe are
carried out. A. L Noses is in Homo
lulu now conducting negotiations with
the Honolulu Iron Works for the pur-
chase of a 5000 ton sugar mill and
.perfecting other plans for the enter
prise.
He said yesterday that plans have
been perfected for financing the COM
pany after good many months work.
The shareholders in the company are
oil small land owners and cane grow
ers and it Is to be purely coopera-
tive concern. The e6000-ton mill is to
be increased to one of 10000 tons ca
pacity later. A site has been pur-
chased for, it in the gulch below Lau-
pahoehoe and within easy distance of
the Landing.
The homesteaders control $500
acres of cane land and have signed a
petition asking for the opening of g
1500-acre tract now under cultivation
by the Laupahoehoe Plantation COM
pany, whose lease expires next year.
The petition was filed with the land
commissioner by Mr. Moses yesterday
and, he says, they can be opened as
soon as the lease expires, subject to
the growing crop. Governor Pinkham
has approved the withdrawal OF the
lands for demonstrating purposes.
This is the first company of its kind
to be organized in the territory. It
was made possible by an act Of the
last legislature: No stock in the COM
pany is to be sold to outside invest
ors and all of the profits on sugar
grown, manufactured and sold will go
to the farmers who have produced it.

Confined ron page ons)

Chang Chau testified before the com.
mission that he did not furnish the
$500 cash bail in the case Of Alma, it
was Chang Chau who requested that
the money be surrendered to him, he
having secured the Endorsement Of
the Chinese who actually paid the bail.
Chang Chau was sent to the sheriff's
office, where check was already
waiting, but he seemed very much dis
appointed because It was made out to
the man who paid the bail The cash
Ter in the sheriff's office wouldn't
change the check, saying that 1t had
to, be made out In favor of the person
who actually paid the bail, and the in
dorsement on the bail receipt made no
difference TO the sheriff's office.
The detective department Is dis
gusted with this form of settlement
To those familiar with the workings
of chefa, they say, 1t is extremely diff
cult to nab the bankers who are at the
bottom Of the game, and here's clean
case of six bankers pleading guilty
and going free They declare that
their case was so good against these
men that even had they pleaded not
guilty, they had sufficient evidence to
convict, even without the testimony Of
Gray
The history of the case SO far as
the detective department is concerned,
is that a Japanese informer brought
the news to Captain of Detectives Nc.
Duffie, who Immediately despatched q
Japanese detective 20 Wahiawa to re.
port to Officer Gray at Wahiawa and
work with him. AS soon as Gray was
ready to make the raid, having made
sure that they could catch their men
in the act, assistance was given and
the raid made.
It is a significant fact to them that
the Chinese who, It was alleged by
the prosecution, had paid the money
to Gray, was not called by the prose-
eution as a witness, but was called by
the defense and denied ever having
paid any money to Gray.
Garden Explains.
Suspended sentences on pleas of
guilty were given in these cases." said
Deputy Attorney w. T. Garden today,
for the reason that the bank which
was raided by Gray and the detective
force was operated from the time of
the making of the affidavits against
Gray in the city attorneys office to
the time Of arrest, solely as trap.
Under these circumstances 1t would
have been injustice to punish the de-
PENDANTS or to distinguish between In
diyiduals running the banks and those
buying tickets when the entire bust
ness was carried on for that reason.
Furthermore suspended sentence
does not In any way operate as free.
dom from penalty for the reason that
If these defendants engage In any
further violation of the law all that
will be necessary will be to file an aft
dayit through the prosecution, where
upon they can still be brought up and
sentenced for these past charges.

LAST OF THE DALTONS

RELIEF FOR WEST
End FLOOD GIVEN
Sewer Pump at Foot of Fifth Avenue,
After Hours of Continuous 0per-
alton, Drains Mains Dry.

Congestion of Rock Islands sewer
system, due to heavy rains of Satur-
day and Sunday, was relieved at 3
O'Clock this morning, when the pump
at the mouth of the main at the foot
Of Fifth avenue suspended operation
after having been running continu-
ouSly since Saturday.
The west end residence section was
flooded Saturday and Sunday, the
pump, which has capacity of $780,
600 gallons, not being able to handle
the storm water along with the other
sewage deposits. The result was that
the drains became COngeSted.
The machine ordinarily pumps
3,O0O,0 600 gallons a day. All outlets
from the sewer system are closed be-
cause of the high water in the Mis-
Sissippi, and the sewerage passes into
the Fifth avenue main, where it is
pumped from the drains Heavy rains
add to the burden of the pump, as all
storm water in the city passes into
the sewer system.
Commissioner J. A Murrin said to-
day that the sewer was pumped dry at
o'clock this morning He stated that
the water in the west end residence
section Saturday was due to the fact
that the pump could not remove the
water as rapidly as it entered the
sewer He said the situation was
normal again today.
It is only during the spring of the
year that the sewer pump is needed,
and it is very rarely the case when it
is unable to keep the sewer system
from being congested Commissioner
Murrin. however, declares that an
auxiliary pump is needed and that
one would be installed as soon as the
river returns to its normal stage.
Four years ago pump was purchased
by the city at a cost Of $4,000. 1t has
never been removed from the crate in
which it was shipped, as having been
ordered it was found that it was not
needed. City officials had purchased
it at a time when the river was low
and figured on using it as an auxiliary
at the waterworks. 1t may be that
this device will be installed at the
sewer pump house. 1t is a sttNm de-
vice and unless it can be converted so
as to operate under electric power a
new pump will have to be purchased.
Costs S15 Per Day.
Commissioner Murrin said that the
operation of the sewer pump at the
foot of Fifth avenue is costing the
city SIS per day. 1t will have to be
operated at various intervals until the
stage of the Mississippi river reaches
below feet so that the gates of the
sewer outlets can be opened.

with him since 1912, but had not writ
ten to him for some time, When asked
if she had ever met Ruth SOper Oar
nell, one of Darnell's alleged wives,

piled that she had seen her in Mil
waukee. Wis Mrs. Darneu further
testified that she introduced the de-
PENDANT as her husband to friends.
Lately. she said, she has been going
under the name of Spurgeon.
Another witness examined was W.
f, Stevens. publisher of the Avon
Sentinel, who testified that Darnell
came to him Dec. IS, 1911, with copy
of marriage announcement, which
he published and which disclosed that
