DELAITTE PLANT
FOR MAKING GAS
Wins INTEREST

More than so interested engineers,
chemists and others today attended an
interesting exhibit of the de Latte gas
plant, at the Honolulu Iron Works, and
saw successful tests of the miniature
plant.
The exhibit was conducted and ex.
planned by the inventor of the pro-
cess, L. B. de Latte of Paris and San
Francisco, who arrived on the Maui
to give the demonstrations.
The plant, compact and simple
mechanical device, worked effectively
in response to the inventors plan
of showing how much better is his
process than that ordinarily used.
1t is claimed for the de Latte process
that it will manufacture gas approx
imately so per cent cheaper than is
now the case, and is especially adapt
able for plantation use. One of the
plants is to be tried out on Oahu plan
tation by the honolulu Iron Works,
under whose auspices the demonstra.
Mons are held. =. r.f
The de Latte plant may be built
in large, medium or small units, or
collections of units, being mechanical
iy elastic in this respect. With the
high prices and scarcity of wood and
coal, it is declared that the plant is
especially desirable for Hawaii.
At the conclusion of his talk today.
Mr.. de Latte was questioned by many
Of the audience and explanations were
given in detail of the mechanical
workings of the plant. -.

GARCIA AGAIN
IS REPRIEVED
BY GOVERNOR
viii Not Go to GalIows Until
Authorities Can Check Up
Fully on kohala Crime

Antonio Garcia, who was to have
been hanged last Friday morning for
me murder of a japanese at HonOkaa
last May, and VINO as reprieved I'M
la tomorrow morning, when he was
to have gone to the gallows for his
crime, has again been reprieved by Gov
ernor Pinkham. No new date has
been set for the hanging, but Garcia
will not pay the penalty with his life
until the authorities are satisfied that
he told the truth in his startling con.
fessions of last Friday. He confessed
to having assaulted and murdered the
Humane girl at Kohala, for which
crime man is now serving q life sen
tence in prison. He also confessed to
a murder in the Philippines.
Sheriff Samuel Pua of Hawaii has
been sent for and will arrive Satur-
day from Hilo Sheriff Pua is fami-
liar with the details and circum.
stances surrounding the murder of the
girl, for which Garcia swears be is
responsible, and he will thoroughly
investigate the new revelations. To-
gether with Attorney General Stain
back, the sheriff of Hawaii and the
high sheriff of the territory viii
probe into every detail and look at
every angle OF Garcia's statements.
There is some doubt that Garcia's
confessions are true. 1t Is plausible.
say the officials. that the condemned
man, knowing that he must face the
gallows for his crime of killing the
Japanese, has made this confession
concerning the murder of the girl, so
that the n4an now serving life term
will be pardoned It is with this in
view, to determine whether or not
the condemned mans story is true.
that Sheriff Pua and Attorney.Gene
Stainback will 60 over the case again.
Governor Pinkham this morning
signed the reprieve. staying the mans
execution for at least another week.
Garcia is willing and eager to talk.
and if the investigations are completed

Any P. 0. Will
CASH LIBERTY
BOND COUPONS

Liberty Loan Bonds interest cou-
pons can be cashed when they fall
due at any post office in the United
according to the information given to
the local Liberty Loan executive COM
mittee today by D. H. MacAdam, Ho-
nolulu postmaster. The question
whether the coupons could be cashed
at a post office branch or otherwise
anywhere in the United States or its
territories has been under discussion
since the last campaign here began
and the matter was settled this morn
ing when Postmaster MacAdam's let
ter reached the committee. Post
master MacAdam received official no.
tice from Washington, D.: c., several
days ago which cleared up the dis
cussion. The notice was as follows:
"The attention of all postmasters is
directed to paragraph 2, section 372
Of the Postal Laws and Regulations,
which authorizes them to cash all
kinds of government paper"
. Under this regulation postmasters
should use postal funds in their pos
session to cash the coupons of the
Liberty Loan coupon bonds of the
United States upon presentation at
their offices when such coupons fall
due: else to cash warrants issued by
the Treasury Department in payment
of interest on the Liberty Loan reg
istered bonds when such warrants are
indorsed and presented by responsible
persons"
Comparison of Hawaii's subscr1p-
ton to the first and second Liberty
Loan is made in a letter sent yester-
day to William G. McAdoo, secretary
of the treasury, by the local executive
committee. For the first loan these
islands subscribed $4,5O0,000 from
1897 subscribers. For the second
loan Hawaii subscribed S8,060,650
from 1851 subscribers.
To the first loan the Hawaiian
banks and trust companies contribut- |
ed $3,000,000 which included the sub |
scription from the army of $4,000 |
and Hawaiian concerns contributed |
through San Francisco agents 81 $780, |
900. To the second loan the banks and |
trust companies contributed $5,214r |
$50, the army $1,269, 900 and local con.
Germs through San Francisco S1,577,- |
500. Included in the figures for the /
second loan was the $94 1900 taken in
through japanese banks and $31, 500
through the Chinese-American bank. |
These figures show an increase in |
the second campaign over that of the I
first of $3,560,6 $50 in subscription and I
1918 in the number of subscribers.

Once more Palmyra island is to pass

circuit judge, when he LETT here Tor
Palmyra last Tuesday was a repre-
sentative of syndicate of capitalists
who are anxious to acquire control OF
the island For several days it has
been known that Mr. Cooper had been
made tempting offers for his island
property, but until this morning it was
believed only California interests
wanted to buy Palmyra.
However, inquiries made as to the
identity of the California capitalists
revealed the fact that a number of
investors who are interested in the
Hawaii Preserving Co. are back of the
scheme to purchase Palmyra and es-
tablish fish canning factory there,
as we'll as to increase its copra output.
AS Judge Cooper was. leaving for
Palmyra he was asked if he would tell
the amount he was now asking for the
little island He replied that certain
circumstances made this impossible,
but since then it is said the option on
the island is to cover purchase price
of $4,000 or $4,000.
f Judge Cooper bought the island five
years ago for the insignificant sum of
$3.50. His title grantor was Mrs. M.
Wundenberg, widow of F. w. Wunden-
berg, who in the late SOS was postmas-
ter general of the kingdom of Hawaii.
Wundenberg had bought it from w. A.
Kinney, whose ownership was losing
one, for he had paid $3.50 for the
property and parted with it for $500.
K. c. Ensoldsen, a stranger in Ha-

power of attorney to act for the Cali
fornia capitalists he represents, is the
man who is accompanying Judge Coo
per to the island to investigate it's
prospects for the establishment: of a

WAR TAX INVADES HONOLULU And
MANY PRICES MAY soon ADVANCE

The new war tax hammer got busy
this morning and hit every store in
town handling patent medicines, toilet
any kind, musical instruments and
musical goods of any kind or descrip.
ton. All these things are looked upon
by the war department as luxurles,
and anybody who wants to be luxur.

At present the merchants them
selves are standing the tax. E. o.
Hall & Son are out exactly SIC today
in their sporting goods department,
while Wall, Nichols C Co. figure that
their firm will be out in the neigh.
borhood of $140 on their music, mu-
steal instruments and sporting goods
because. of the new floor tax. F.
Neither of these two firms expects
to increase the price of such goods
now on hand, but they do anticipate
a further increase in the selling price
of new shipments. ..-. -.
All the drug stores are very busy
taking stock of their goods, which
means that all patent medicines, eE.
cry bottle of perfume, every tube OF
toothpaste, every box of facepowder-
anything that could be construed by
critical internal revenue man as be-
ing intended for the toilet of man or
woman-has this morning an increas-
ed value in the eyes of the retailer of
such articles. But he's not going to
add anything to their selling price
just yet. By and by the price will
get another boost, just a little bit
more on some and little bit less on
others than the actual war tax ap-
piled. This will even things up, and
keep down the necessity for bringing
the penny into use. .E..-: -.
