IS STILL after
'.HAW. PINEAPPLE?
Reports Say New Corporation
Has Not Abandoned Hope
of Local Concern
STOCK RISES AND Is
ABOVE FORMER FIG CURES
One Closely Connected With
Company Says Directors
Would Not Consider Plan

Rumors continue TO be heard that
Hawaiian Pineapple Company may be
secured by the big canning merger
recently perfected on the Pacific
coast and which includes the Pine
apple Preserving Company Of this ter
ritory as a subsidiary OF one OF Its
companies which went 10 make up the
new corporation. These rumors- are
receiving credence in some circles
here and the strength OF Pineapple
stock on the local exchange is credit
ed TO such reports by some OF these
people.
Before the organization Of the new
big canning corporation In California
IL was reported on the mainland the
Hawaiian Pineapple Company was to
be included. Manager Dole at that
time refused TO confirm or deny the
report. Later the merger was formed
without including Hawaiian Pineapple
Company; the new company was In
corporated, its stock distributed, and
il is now regularly selling In the San
Francisco market.
But despite the apparent end Of the
matter through the formation of the
company come new rumors, this time
to the effect that the big company Is
still seeking Hawaiian companies or
at least one Hawaii company, II IL can
be secured at the price desired. This
price the reports do not mention. II
Is said that James ID. Dole does not
deny having heard such reports. On
the other hand a man prominently con-
neeted with the local company said
that Il Il not considering entering the
merger. that its directors are we'll sat
isfied with the way things are going
under present arrangements and
cannot see where any benefit TO stock
holders here woyld result.
Original reports from the coast,
which included Hawaiian Pineapple
in the original merger as proposed,
llaced the price at which the stock
was to be taken at $50 and the stock
is now quoted on the local exchange at
$50 TO $55.
Whether negotiations are under way
with some of the larger shareholders
for their interest has not been learned
nor Is IL possible to determine wheth-
er purchases In the market were made
for merger interests. The capital of
the company Is s700,000 and at pres
ent market quotations II would require
ST 500, 900 10 acquire all OF the stock.

Their arrival removed some worry
from the minds of relatives and

anxious since the French liner Lafay-

wife took passage, was day overdue.
Ii is considered probable that the
Lafayette went out of the customary
steamer paths and changed her steam

The cause of the crash which sent. its
tremors throughput the countryside

Yesterday it was learned, after a
careful investigation, that an old
building, which for many years had
been vacant, had been wrecked and a
closer search revealed the fact that

house for high explosives, gasoline
and supplies of various kinds.
Mysterious Ship Seen
Saturday morning, shortly before
the explosion took place, a vessel OF
unknown ownership is reported to
have gone up the river that flows by

ton, near where the ruined house
stood. She was seen by several peo-
pie of the town, but none o. them have
