RANDELL IS SANE
Alleged War Plotter, Arrested On
Charge Of Insanity, Easily
Wins Case

Arrested yesterday afternoon, on the
large Of insanity, sworn to by Depu'
~ Sheriff Julius Asch, and released
rom the police station at nine o'clock
last night as "perfectly sane, were
the incidents that befell Guy h. Ran.
dell, who was the central figure in the
recent "allied war plot
After being subjected to a gruelling
sanity test Mt one clock yesterday
afternoon, and another in the evening
by DR.. r. @. Aver, emergency hospital
surgeon, and DIR. st. ID. G. Waters,
during which Randell answered ques-
tions put to him covering different
subjects In q straightforward and in
telligent manner, he was released by
order Of Deputy Sheriff Asch upon
request Of the examining physicians.
What is said to be the reason why
Randell was reaTrested, after he had
been released by the federal grand
jury, was that he continued in his
statement that another '.war plot I"
was brewing in Honolulu, and said
that in the rooms of the British As
ISOLATION there was black tin box in
which persons who wished to Join the
English forces were requested to drop
their names. Upon investigation Of
Assistant District Attorney 8. B.
Kemp, IL was found that the box in
question is used for the purpose of fl
ing names Of applicants to membership
in the association. Randell says he
"'is going to England TO fight for his
King and country"
Federal officials say that in spite of
the, fact that their "war plot" case
ien through, they are still of the opin-
ion that "there is something to the
war plot stOries". 1t is expected that
the new evidence" obtained by the
federal authorities will be laid before
the new district attorney, 8. c. Huber,
upon his arrival.

Two Tenants Of Ancient Building
Are Several Years In Arrears
of Rent
BROKERS WOULD LEASE
PROPERTY FOR EXCHANGE
PoStoffice Needs Land Surround
ing Structure But Has No
Money For Tenancy

Honolulu Hale has not been pay
ing investment for the Territory for a
long time. This was disclosed at the
land commissioners meeting yesterday
when application was made for the
uilding and ground comprising tho
1erritofy's property next to the post
Cffice in Merchant street. Two OF the
tenants of the ancient building are
several years in arrears of rent and
the condition of the building is such
that several thousand dollars of repairs
would have to be made by the govern
ment IL IL were intended that the build
irg should be rented to tenants ready
10 pax for the accommodation.
May Become Stock Exchange
A hui of brokers, with Offices in
Merchant street, have decided that the
building, Nif taken for term of years
at reasonable rental, would, when
renovated and repaired, make very
handy stock exchange. with rooms for
brokers Offices, and application has
heen made by one firm, acting as
egent for the others, for the property
The price offered was $500 year,
but the land board thought that 5000
would be more like the proper rental
for the building and land. 1t is prob
Sble that the properly will be put up
for lease to the highest bidder in
short time.
Postofice Needs Land
The land surrounding the building is
now needed for the postoffice and it
WAS found that the buildings TO be
erected on the land could be paid for
by the Postofficc department, but that
no rent could be paid for the land az
there was no appropriation. A nomi-
raj rent was all that was asked for
the land by the Territory, but it was
impossible without an act of congress
to make arrangements. There is plen.
ty of money 20 rent the building need
cd for the postoffice extension and it
is possible if the lease applied for is
scld that the purchaser may make
some arrangements with the postoffic4
tC build on the unoccupied land.
New Building For Postofice
The new building to be erected
could then be rented to the postoffcc
at a monthly rental sufficient to pay
the rent for the whole property.
