ager of the Waiakea plantation at Hilo
These two Hilo capitalists and Cap
tain Matson were all young men when
they first met. A friendship was es'
tablished which lasted to the present
time, all three of them growing
wealthy, and having many bonds OF
family and financial ties. Coinciden'
tally, both these friends of his youth
CHANGED to be in San francisco at
the time of Captain Matsons death,
Another Hilo man who was closely as
sociated with Captain Matson while
his line of sailing vessels was growing
into great navigation company is
R. T. Guard, his personal represen'
tative for many years.
Besides his shipping interests Cap
tain Matson was largely interested in
other lines of commerce. He was the
originator of the business which is
now conducted by the Associated Oil
Co., all of his former sailing vessels
having been converted into oil car
riers for this company. He was a di.
rector in the company at the time nf
his death.
Business Connections
He was president OF the Honolulu
Consolidated Oil Co., largely financed
by Honolulu capitalists; vice presi'
dent of the Honolulu Plantation Co.,
and heavily interested in theso-called
Irwin plantations on Hawaii, the Ha.
kalau plantation and the Hutchinson
Sugar Co. He was also the director
of several San Francisco banking es.
Adjustments and other business cor
porations.
For one term Captain Matson was
president of the San Francisco Cham.
Der Of Commerce. During his period
in this office, Franklin K. Lane, now
secretary of the interior, was the vice
president of the San Francisco cham
Der, their work bringing them close
together and being the foundation OF
a friendship which has existed ever
since. Captain Matson was also at
another time head of the San Fran
cisco harbor commission.
Factor in Business World
Captain Matson occupied a unique
position in the commercial world of
California. A self made man, whose
opportunities in youth were so linn.
tied that he was forced to leave
school and depend upon self educa-

was nevertheless greatly respected
by the big business men of the main

CURLY the reported capture or
n destruction of the German raider,
! Lutece, by ships of the Japanese
navy, is expected from the South
Seas. Three Japanese warships, which
were in the vicinity of the Marshall
islands when the report Of the Ger
man raider in the Southern Pacific
was first authenticated last week, are
now known to be searching the South
Seas, especially the course to Java,
in the hope of oyertaking the priv
alters.
A report was received by the Nipu
Jill last night stating that the raiders
and the Lutece had been captured by
japanese warships, but this was later
corrected to mean that it was expected
the raiders would perhaps soon be
captured"
Following this report another was
started that the Carl Schurz and the
Gulfport were to be despatched to the
Southern Pacific to aid in the search
for the raiders. 1t was stated that
they have been detained in 1ort since
it was learned the Japanese have cap
tured the Lutece."
Indications are that the navy Off
Gals here have had no intention of
despatching these two ships to run
down the raiding crew, although the
advisability of sending the Gulfport
to rescue the % white men and IL
natives rnarooned on Mopeha island
may have been considered. This was
not made necessary, though, as re-
lief ship has been sent from some
where in the South Pacific"
Hopes are held here also that Brit
ish warships from Australia may be
able to clear the Pacific of the
raiders. elr
Since Capt. Halbor Smith, former
master of the destroyed R. c. Slade,
has reported to the navy authorities
regarding the condition of the ship
now held by the raiders there is lit
tie fear, but that it will soon be cap
tured. Capt. Smith reported that the
Lutece is only 100 feet long, painted
white, when left Mopeha, had a stump
foremost, one mainsail and three jibs.
Other equipment was one machine
gun,a motor boat and surf boat.
How fate intervenes adversely and
favorably is being referred to today
by Honolulu waterfront men who
heard how nearly the schooner Ma
Mia, with coal for the Inter-Island,
escaped capture by the German raider
Sea Adler
Only by the rarest chance was the
Manila sighted by the Sea Adler crew.
The day was extremely dark with low
hanging clouds. But to the northwest
from the raider there was a riff: in
the clouds through which the after
noon sun was shining, making space
on the horizon, apparently only half
mile wide, which was as clear as crys-
tai. As the lookout concentrated his
eye upon the spot, the only one to
which sight would carry for any dis
lance, the Manila passed along the
line of the lighted horizon. Less than
two hours afterward she was over
taken by the raider.

Of American bottoms.

OF American bottoms.
He points out, however, that many
OF the foreign vessels calling here have
no available space for bananas, but be-
lieves that the growers and shippers
Will experience little or no trouble in
getting their produce to the mainland.
He thinks that growers and shippers
will now be able to send at least q, 900
lunches OF bananas to the mainland
each month Last year about 2S7 900
punches were shipped
Mr.. Campbell believes also that the
ruling will apply to the shipment Of
fresh pineapples, but points out tina,
the business in this fruit is not large
at the present time. The ruling will
not apply to canned pineapples or to
general freight, he thinks.
When the growers and shippers first
decided to take steps to have the la
mana congestion relieved, the matter
was presented to the territorial food
commission, but no action was taken
as the members looked forward to a
possible suspension Of the coastwise
shipping law by congress.
"The ruling should relieve the local
situation to great extent and allow
the growers to ship all the bananas
they can grow" said J. F. Child, as
slstant executive officer of the food
commission, this morning.
Since the recent banana congestion,
large number of experiments have
been conducted here regarding the
manufacture of banana flour, as it was
felt advisable to find some way 70
utilize those bananas which were like
ly to spoil here because of lack OF
shipping facilities. Several specimens
Of this flour have been handed to the
food commission. The present coast
market for Hawaiian bananas is said
10 be excellent.
