POOLE CAUGHT ir REEVES (From Wednesdays Advertiser.) Soldier Poole, who is wanted in Sac Tamanto for the theft of some valuable jewelry, was eapturcd by Dotective Reeves yesterday afternoon at "VYaianae unexpectedly. Hooves was sent down the road to investigate some burglaries at Waianae, and on his way on the train heard of the trip of a strange white man through tie conntry the daj. before. On inquiry the description of the stranger seemed to tally with that of the missing soWier, and when Waia-na- c was reached Beeves started on a still hunt. Strangers, and especially white strangers, are a seven-day- s' wonder in small country places here, and when inquiry was made among the re3idents,as to fne whereabouts of the stranger there was plenty of information forth coming. Xne ollicer was toiu inai we liaolo was playing cards with some -- women at the beach. Reeves got the Deputy Sheriff and an officer and went to the place where the stranger was en- joying himself, and, recognizing Poole, placed him under arrest. Poole offered no resistance whatever and did not appear to be the very dangerous man that his friends had tried to mate him out to be to the police. He is now in custody, and will be held pending directions for his disposition irom the Chief of Police of Sacramento, who has been notified of the capture of tho man. A diary was found on the prisoner when searched by Keeves. It reads as lollows: The first trip around the Hawaiian Island on the 29th day May starting irom Honolulu spending the first night at Iwea (Alea) visiting the Iwea (Alea) sugar plantation next morning took the limited on the Ocha (Oahu) R R. to Ewa Mills where I spent a very pleasant evening with the natives with their singing and string music and above all the Hula dancing biding them pood bye the next morning I took the train for a very beautiful beach town called Walanae where I was greeted with another feast corresponding to the one at Ewa Mills with the exception of the wine and gin which were added to it which made us all very lively and full of fun but yet very peaceable a native as a general rule under the influence of liquor is a very quiet and peaceable person to get along with but I stayed all night which was Sunday and until Monday afternoon after biding them adieu at 4:30 I took the train to another beautiful plantation called Waialua where I met with a German and his wife and told them of my experience with the natives and when they found out that the native songs made a hit with me they first got busy with a grapahone and played about 150 or 175 pieces consisting of American and native music and then they sang lots of native songs and of course the Germans are very fond of beer so we had several bottles of beer " and then we sang and danced to the music of the grapahone until we were tired and sleepy then we retired for the night not expecting such a sur- prise when about 10 o'clock in the mcrnlng a native and his wife who were just married the night previous were shlveered and we were aroused from our slumbers and Invited to attend the party which In their language Is called Luah (luau) so we were practically up all night and we had eaten and drunk so much during the night that none of us cared for any break- fast the following morning at 9:30 after biding all my strange but true friends good bye I took the train again for Kahuku where I spent another pleasant evening with a large family of natives this little town I forgot to mention Is right at the end o' the R. R. after spending a pleasant evening and "most of the next day here I took the train at 4:30 P. M. toward Honolulu again and stopped at a little Japa- nese town which I passed on my way out by the name of Puulki where I had an enjoyable supper consisting of rice and many kinds of meat and Japanese wine I spent the night here with a Jap- anese family and next morning took the train back to Honolulu and I can truthfully say that the trip I just layed before you Is worth any mans money. Poole made the following statement at the police station last evening: "I first knew of the trouble I was in by reading of it in the paper. I did not want to go back to the Coast, as I was being treated right here and liked it at the barracks. That Is what made me beat it. I read the paper and then came down town. I went around among the boys a little and they were all talking about what the paper had to say about me. I went out to the barracks again and a cop in t buggy stopped me when I got off the car and asked me If I was Poole. 1 told him that I was not and then made for the country. "All I know of the trouble in Sac ramento is that early in December there was a woman whose father ran an ice cream parlor on K. street between 5th and 6th. She lost a watch from the store and asked me if I knew anything about It I did not. After I first heard of the loss of the watch I weeks and then enlisted In the Army. I came down here in February." . A CERTAIX.CTJIIE FOR BOWEL COMPLAINT. When attacked with diarrhoea or bowel eomplaint you want a medicine that acts quickly.

United States District Attorney R-- Breckons was arrested yesterday, on a warrant sworn out by Theodoiw Richards and Issued by District Magis- trate Andrade, charging him with vio- lation of Section 30SS of the Revised Laws of Hawaii, in being present at a prize fight. The arrest, which was formal and purely technical, was made by Sheriff Iaukea who, in company with Judge Andrade, went to the Judiciary building with the warrant. Mr. Breckons was In Judge Dole's court room at the time engaged In the trial of the Kokl case. A note was sent to mm saying he was wanted in office. "When he are supposed to have been at the bed-n-p- nt thpre. Sheriff Taukea stated side of the dying man. Prince and mission, formerly served the warrant. and Judge Andrade took his recogniz- ance until this morning at 9 o'clock. The action In swearing out a war rant under the Territorial law not the action of the Civic Federation, but of Theodore Richards In his capacity as a citizen. Mr. Richards wished this clearly understood. It seems also to have been done without prior consultation of an attorney. Theodore Richards and Rev. E. "W. Thwing had a consultation with Breck- ons on Monday concerning action to be taken regarding Saturday night's contest. Breckons refused to take any action pending instructions from "Wash- ington, he having' written fully regarding the matter to the Department of Justice, Mr. Richards and Mr. Thwing having been made acquainted with the tenor of the letter. Richards and Thwing then consulted Judge Dole, urging him that he issue a warrant. Judge Dole took the ground that while he had the power to issue a warrant, still the matter having been reported to the Department of Justice at its request, he thought it only proper to wait until the views and wishes of the department could be learned. Though he might issue warrants to bring persons accused before him, and though they might be com- mitted to await the action of the grand jury, even If the grand jury found In- dictments, the District Attorney could nolle prosequi them. Judge Dole expressed the opinion that if those interested were determined to take action at once, the place for them to proceed was in the Territorial courts. "When Theodore Richards applied for a warrant for Breckons it was sug- gested to him by both Sheriff Iaukea and Judge Andrade that a penal sum- mons would answer every purpose of bringing both Breckons and the whole matter before the court. Mr. Richards, however, said that as he was the one responsible for the action he desired to take, he felt it must be In his own way. "Warrants were also issued on Rich- ards' complaint against Jockey Willis and Ah Sam. "Willis was booked to sail by the Mauna Kea for Hilo where he is engaged to ride. was required to give bonds in th- - penal sum of $500 which were speedily secured. Ah Sam was released on his own recogniz ance, as Breckons had been. The cases being in the District Court they come under the jurisdiction of County Attorney Cathcart or some one of deputies, to prosecute. Ly'e A. Dickey was later in the day retained to assist the prosecution. He went at once to consult with Cathcart. The latter said that the thing had been sprung without consultation with him; that he did not intend that his efflce should be used to work the whims or purposes of individuals. He should therefore consider the matter whether In his opinion the cases ought to be prosecuted or not, and would act ac- cordingly. If he determined that the cases ought to be prosecuted he would personally be in court to prosecute them. If he decided that the cases ought not to be prosecuted he would nolle prosequi them. So that it will not be known until this morning what will be done, whether they will be nolled or prosecuted, or whether Dickey will be allowed -- to appear on behalf of the prosecution. A number of lawyers have volunteered to defend Breckons. Among them are Holmes & Stanley, "W. A. Kinney, M. F. Prosser and Frank Thompson. The list of witnesses named on the subpoena is as follows: Frank E Thompson, "W. C. Peacock, Charles E. Meston, George F. Henshall. C. S. Crane, Edward Dekum, John Lucas, Dr. F. H. Humphris. Edward Dekum is In (Europe. Just how he came to be reported as among those present at the contest was a subject for quip and joke around town. Breckons declined to discuss arrest, further than to say that several lawyers had volunteered to defend him. The section of the statute under which these warrants have been sworn out is as follows: Section 30S8. Any affray is the fight- ing of two or more persons in a public pice; and includes any prize fight or other premeditated contention, where no weapons are used. "Whoever takes part encourages, or promotes an affray, or is wilfully present as a spec- tator at any prize fight or other premeditated contention, shall be punish- ed by fine not exceeding five hundred dollars or by Imprisonment at hard labor not more than six months.

He was the son of the High Chief David Ka- halepouili Piikol and the Princess Ki-nol- ke Kekaulike. David Piikol was the son of the Chief Piikol and the High Chiefess Kekahill, the latter being the sister of Kapakea, father of Queen Lilluokalani, thereby making the late Prince David second cousin of the Queen. The Princess Kekaulike was the daughter of the High Chief the Princess the, ", ,", latter, as above stated, being the daughter of King Kaumualll, last king of Kauai, relinquished his rights to the throne to Kamehameha the Great.

H., May 12. Sugar is King. To Hawaii he Is a most in- dulgent monarch, for he has brought this little group of islands to the point where it Is the greatest exporting country of Its population on earth. This iear tho Hawaii sugar crop will sell for between $40,000,000 and $50,000,000. The price Is high on account of great shortage in Cuba, Java and elsewhere. The crop here Is larger than ever before. Last year it was 410,017 tons. This year it ls estimated at from 475,000 to 500,000 tons. Hawaii has been growing sugar for nearly a century. By 1S75 the produc- tion had increased until the annual crop was 12,500 tons. Then something happened. The United States made a reciprocity treaty with the Kingdom of Hawaii and the sugar from the islands was admitted to America free of duty. Immediately the sugar business began to take on new life, although the crop returns did not show an enormous In crease for some time. Sugar cane cannot be grown over night. Each crop grows two years In Hawaii. Even the two-year period was not the beginning of the greater day, for all great business must grow. Modern methods of agriculture have brought the Hawaiian cane fields to their present productiv- ity, but It was the abolition of the duty on sugar entering the United States that made this development possible. Twenty years after that treaty went Into effect Hawaii became frightened lest the United States might abrogate It, as it had the right to do upon one year's .notice. Hawaii was clamoring for annexation. The war with Spain came up, Hawaii's great strategic value was impressed upon Congress, and annexation came. Free sugar was made a fixture by that act, for Hawaii was annexed and made a part and parcel of the United States before the "in- sular possession," to which the Consti- tution does not follow the flag, was in- vented. The treaty of 1875 was made before there was any beet sugar interests in the United States, or it would never have been made at all. If the Ameri- can beet sugar Industry had been as great in 1S9S as it Is now, Hawaiian annexation probably would have" been defeated. Hawaii, having benefited by these things, is now a unit 'n opposing the extension of like assistance to the Philippines. The worst nightmare that can come to a Hawaiian planter is the dreamof Cuban annexation. Hawaii has the backing of the power- ful beet sugar Interests in this, and the beet sugar people have the backing of the entire "stand pat" party on prin- ciple, so its danger Is remote. It is interesting to take a retrospec- tive glance at the industrial history of Hawaii to show what King Sugar, with an American free market, has done. Just twenty-fiv- e years ago a pamphlet was published in Honolulu reviewing the sugar industry of the islands. Maps of the various islands were given with the plantations marked on them in red. Tables showed how much land was planted in sugar cane and how much more there was available for that purpose. At that time, 1882, there were 55,000 acres of cane, and the estimate of the "maximum possible" acreage was 72,500. As a matter of fact tho present acreage Is 213,400, or nearly three times the "maximum possible" of twenty-liv- e years ago.- - The same authority said that on the island of Oahu, where Honolulu is situated, the acreage was 3,000 and that Its maximum extension would be 3,500. The sugar acreage of Oahu now is 36,532. The statistician of 1SS2 was honest and painstaking, and his estimates of the maximum possible extension of the industry were not made by guess, but by careful surveys. But he did not. and could not, take Into consideration the present methods of irrigation and steam cultivation. The irrigation plants now in use on Hawaiian sugar plantations cost over $14,000,000. As there are only fifty plantations of considerable size this indi- cates a great expenditure for indi- vidual plants. In fact only twenty-si- x plantations have Irrigation systems at all, the others depending on rainfall. Six plantations have plants which cost over a million dollars each. A good rain that will fill the reservoirs means a saving of a thousand dollars a da for pumping on more than one plantation. This kind of agriculture- - requires capital. The sugar plantations of Ha- waii have a combined capitalization of something over $70,000,000. The owner- ship of this is-- divided between about 7,000 shareholders. The control of the sugar industry is centered in the hands of half a dozen big companies in Ho nolulu, sugar factors. These companies act as agents for the plantations, and they are not prohibited from owning shares In plantation stock, not by any means. There are fourteen suga. agents on the list, but there are six big ones. These big companies grew out of small stores established many years ago in the days when nobody dreamed of doing business bJ the mil- lions. The small sugar planters of the old days had to have supplies for their places. They obtained them from a Honolulu trading store. When the crop was made they sold their sugar to the same store, or employed the store to act as agent for Its sale. As the sugar business grew from a small matter of farming to the proportions of a mighty industry, the factors grew with it. But the old ways are strong, and these old Institutions can today sell you anything from a million dollar steamship to a box of carpet tacks. They are still supply stores of the general type, waxed great and rich. As .half a dozen firms and a dozen or so men control the sugar business, they control the business of Hawaii. They are King Sugar's ministers. Up to this time no one of them has been charged with disloyalty to his monarch. They are faithful servitors. It was inevita- ble, of course, that the concentration of this economic power Into a few hands would cause strife. There have been sharp contests, there are now murmurlngs and bickerings. It is said that a total stranger can buy machinery or other supplies from a sugar agent much cheaper than one of that agent's plantations can buy it A muck raker would undoubtedly find some molasses on the tines of his Im- - EVANGELIST COMING HERE The T. M. C. A. has secured for a series of men's meetings, the man who is recognized as the greatest speaker to men in South Africa. He Is making a two-year tour of the world, and In response to urging from both the Newr Tork office of the T. AT. C. A. and from the local association has consented to stop off one boat In Honolulu. He will arrive en the Manuka June 27, and spendabout a week in tho city. Mr. Russell will preach In Central Union church both morning and even ing the last Sunday of the month, and meetlnga for men will be held In dltfer- - ent places and at different times, the plan of these meetings to be made by the religious work committee of the Y. M. C. A. at a meeting Thursday afternoon. Since being in the States the past few months, Mr. Russell has won for himself the name of "the Moody of South Africa." both his personal ap- pearance and great success with men suggesting the title. Speaking of his work in Washington, D. C, one of the T. M. C. A. secre- taries say3 of him: "He has the hap py faculty of adapting himself to the meeting at hand; whether at the uni- versity, car barn, with the soldiers, at the engine house, or at the association, he has made himself .it home, and given a straight gospel talk that touch- ed the hearts of the men." Mr. Russell has been in evangelical work in South Africa for thirty years. The story of his experience as a pio- neer evangelist is a thrilling one. In the gold fields, with the Boers after the war, in Cape Town, then up and down over the whole country he went, everywhere welcomed and meeting with marked success In every field. The visit of Rev. David Russell will be made the occasion of the greatest series of meetings for men Honolulu has had for many a day. He is a great man. and will do a lot of good while in the city. JOHNSON AT PALO ALTO. J. A. M. Johnson, well known to the trade as an importer of paper at Hono- lulu, and later at Yokohama, Japan, has resigned his position with tho Japan Development and Trading Company, Yokohama, and is now at Palo Alto, Cal. Paper Trade. A. W. Carter, manager of the Parker Ranch, accompanied by his wife, returned to Hawaii yesterday. plement If he trailed It over Hawaii. On the other hand, the prosperity of the islands and everybody in It has been made by sugar, ls supported and without sugar would perish miserably. The sugar barons hav brought a great curse upon their land by the Importation of an excess or Oriental labor, perhaps, but whatever blessings the country has they also orougni. Politics in Hawaii is not ldeallv fr from corruption. It wasn't in the old clays of the monarchy, and It isn't now. But it Is to be doubted If any state in the Un'on has laws which throw as much light Into the inside worklnes of corporations as do the laws ot Ha- waii. This in spite of the fact that n. dozen men control all of the one great Industry of the country. It is not meant that these laws are Utopian, or that they accomplish great resuts. It is merely the wonder that such pub- licity laws are on the statute books. The sugar barons apparently have-no- t been put to the necessity of study- ing politics. They had a bill In tho legislature two years ago to enable them to bring In some Portuguese and Spanish Immigrants, badly needed to relieve- - the labor situation. They did- n't mention it to their leader In tho Senate and It went to the table. If he had known It, It could have been passed without a word. As it was. It required hard work to pull It through. On the whole, the sugar barons seem not to be such bad barons after all. The community knows that they have built its prosperity and. In a measure, the community is grateful. These things may change. Some or the sugar barons are placing obstacles In the way of homesteadlng and other efforts toward Americanization, fearine the effect upon their system of labor. This attitude Is antagonistic to the moving spirit of the territory, and . when the clash comes It will be the sugar barons' heads that are cracked. Some of the sugar barons, especially the British and Germans, still believe, or affect to believe, that the United States will again open the doors to Asiatic Immigration so far as Hawaii Is concerned. The majority of the American planters look toward tho south of Europe for help. The sugar planters have problems, of course, but in Hawaii their outlook Is rosy. Just now they are glorying In the biggest crop of their history and a top-not- price. Even If the dreaded thing happens and Philippine sugar, or even Cuban sugar, is admitted Into the United States without duty, the sugar planters may find consolation In the rapidly Increasing consumption of su gar, inirty-flv- e years ago the sugar crop of the world was two of three million tons each year, over half of which was made from cane. It did not reach four million tons until 1S83, when for the first time tho beet sugar produc- tion was a little the larger half. The crop reached the ten million ton mark In 1902, six of which was from beets and four from cane. The last annual statistics reported a world's crop of over twelve million tons, seven from beets and five from cane. The Increase of consumption of sugar In the United States, as might be expected, has been startllngly rapid, having tripled in a quarter of a century. This growth continues all over the world, and the sugar producing sec- tions are called upon to do their ut- most So far as Hawaii Is concerned, it is believed that practically all the available sugar land Is now under cultivation.

A jury to try Lee Let was secured shortly after three o'clock yesterday afternoon In Judge Robinson's court. Nineteen men In all were examined on their voir dire, six of them being chal- lenged peremptorily one for cause. As soon as the jury was secured an adjournment was taken to 10 o'clock this morning when the hearing of evi- - There was a delay of nearly an hour In beginning the case caused by the fact that Col. Jones, the stenographer, was on the witness stand in an eject- ment suit in Judge De Bolt's court. As soon as the roll of the jurors was called, Frank Thompson, in reply to a question by Judge Robinson, said that the defendant Lee Let was ready, and Deputy Attorney General Larnach the Territory answrred ready. Twelve men called into jury box, and Mr. Larnach very concisely tolc" them that in this case the indict-me- rt charges Lee Let with bribing or trying to bribe Chief of Detectives A. P. Taylor. He then began the examin- ation of the jurors, Frank Godfrey being the first questioned. Mr. Lar- nach asked the jurors as to their acquaintance with the defendant and his attorney, and if relation of attorney and existed or had existed, and generally whether the juror believed e could give a fair and and impartial trial. Thompson's questions were as to the jurors' acquaintance with Larnach and Sutton, who are conducting the prosecution, with A. P. Taylor, Chief of Detectives, and with R. O. Matheson and H. M. Ayres, two of the witnesses in the case. He asked If, in arriving at a verdict, there would necessarily be placed on the present police admin- istration the seal of approval, or upon tVi rtrAinr1lncr o A m In tct T" t tfTt tnA CPfll ' as them. To this Larnach objected as being irrelevant, but -- Judge Robinson overruled the objection. Thompson asked if jurors had any prejudice against Chinese, or had opin- ions as to whether Chinese were more prone to tell the trutn or otnerwise than whites. E. H. Lewis said he haa was excused for cause. Mr. Thompson asked if jurors would give the same weight or credence to the faotlmnnf nf n r"hinpJP n thV WOUld the.,. ,,nder the same condi- - t before Judge Mr Larnach this Tceraay as being for juror say fccaeh warraat his what or credence he Reyes was brought into would give to of lie ex-- witness as have the whole 01 absence the morning, and . the witness' testimony, his demeanor that attend his & aot fight, as to that sfe Tafaed not and were Frank and were the . . and the and all other circumstances before him before he could say what weight or credence he would give to the testimony. Thompson cited a case from California where that form of ques tion was allowed.

To this Larnach on the ground that juror had already stated that he had read .the articles in the Advertiser but that they would not affect his verdict. Thomp- son argued that he had a right to In- quire into the mind of the juror to learn whether or not he had been in- fluenced by his reading independent of whether the juror was conscious of such influence not. He said that there had been more than articles on the subject of Lee Let published in the Advertiser. Mr. X.arnach objected that question was not what the Advertiser had said, but whether Ig 1" usa-.u- , 1, t hrtho rhlof nf the cases aeaiast Breekons rro,.i? nc , ."ll.bt tr;PT.1ith done.

He asked should appear that certain articles were written by A. P. Taylor would affect the juror's verdict. When this policy became obvious, Mr. Larnach began asking jurors to their views of the credibility of newspapermen, putting his question in this form: "Should be nessary to call witnesses in this case newspapeimen, would you give their testimony the same consideration that you would other witnesses?" Twelve men having been found who on their oaths said that they would discredit neither newspapermen nor to interfere saw fit to refuse, chinamen, of their occupation to in I I Nrlain's objected, or stained If it if it as it as in the one case, or their color in the other, they were sworn to try the is- sues.

Sulli van and Fred Turrill. Judge Robinson gave the Jury the usual admonition not to discuss the case with others or to let others discuss the case wltth them and dismissed them for the day. The taking of testimony will proceed this morning. . 4-- JTJDGB PABKEB COMING. Judge Parker, the private secretary of Secretary of the Interior Garfield and the man who assisted very ma terially in getting through the appro priation for Hawaii's Agricultural Col- lege, will be a visitor in this city possibly on the next transport from the Coast. He is expected to go through to the Philippines and returning here about August remain a couple of weeks. It Is possible, however, that the coming of Secretary Garfield may change the plans of the Secretary's secretary and he will come hete and remain wiIle his chief is In the Islands. H IMPENDING STBIKE. Eight hundred members of the two organizations of masters, mates and pilots at .San Francisco may quit as the result of the suspension of ibe captains of three steamers, rharged with falling to obey the rules of navi- gation May 6, when the battleship fleet entered that port. AFTER JOHNSON THE DELUGE IN THE REGIMENT The departure of Colonel Samuel Johnson for the Island of Hawaii is likely to have a profound effect on the First Regiment of the .National Guard. "When Johnson, then a captain, became first, lieutenant-colonel and then colonel, the National Guard consisted of four companies, practically skeleton companies, barely able to muster enough men to keep from being mustered out. Now the regiment has nine companies, all well filled, and the men turning out well to drills. "With the departure of Colonel John- son for Hawaii, he feels it necessary to resign as Colonel, and his resignation will undoubtedly be tendered to Acting Governor Mott-Sinit- h this morning. There was, up to a few hours ago, every likelihood that Colonel Johnson's resignation would be followed almost immediately by the resignations of at least four captains of companies. If these resignations do not follow, it will be because Colonel Johnson has used his personal influence to prevent, and has by appeals to the esprit du corps of the National Guard induced them to rer main. The trouble is one of old standing, and widely known. Though it has neycr been publicly stated, it is known throughout the regiment and very generally among the public. There has been constant friction between Adjutant-- General Jones and the field and line officers of the regiment. This friction reached an acute stage some A The Salvation Army workers have found a case of very real distress In a wretched home on a lane back of the Chinese Joss 'House on King street. A Porto Rlcan named Lorenzo Do-- minicl and his Portuguese wife and five small children live there. The father occasionally gets work at a dollar a day but the mother has been sick ever since her last child was born, two years ago. The eldest child Is nine years old; the others are six, five, three and two years old. In the house Is nothing but a dirty mat on which the family sleep. There is neither bed, chair, table, stove, dish or cooking utensil and absolutely nothing to eat. At least there was nothing to eat yesterday, though the father, when he gets his dollar, does the best he can by the hungry ones. Staff Captain Bradley and his lady assistant, Captain Baker, found these poor people and are at their wits' end what to do. Their home for children, the McCully place, might make loom for two of the little ones, but the number already there has exhausted their funds. They could take care of two infant Dominicls for $10 A month but they lack the $10, and cannot safely reduce the bread ration of those now on their hands. Should they take in two more inmates they would also have to buy a cot and bedding.

Colonel Johnson has always been a rallying influence in the regiment, and largely through his energy, effort and influence the friction has been kept down a minimum, and very hearty work for building the regiment has been done. Among the company officers Tvho felt constrained resign when it became known that would have leave the regiment because of the new engagements as employment had entered into, were Captains Costa, Gorman, Angus and Neely. Colonel Johnson has been urging them to remain for the sake the regiment, and it is likely that has succeeded. will a very hard thing Sam Johnson's place in the regiment.

The following communication was read: Honolulu, T. H., June 3, 1908. To the Honorable Board of Supervis- ors, County of Oahu. Gentlemen: As I am about to leave the city, I herewith respectfully tender my resignation as Road Supervisor for the Districj of Honolulu, and as Super- intendent of the Garbage Department. In so doing I feel it my pleasant duly to express myself most favorably towards the employes of two departments, who through long service ioyalty and efficiency have enabled me to give satisfaction to this community. I also wish to thank the members c the present Board for tbe hearty co- operation and kind support offered me at all times, and with much appreciation, I remain. Very respectfully, SAM'L JOHNSON, Road Supervisor, Honolulu. The chair eulogized the good work done by Col. Johnson and expressed himself as sorry that he could not serve his term out. Harvey said that the board couldn't hold Johnson if he wanted to leave and added that he was probably going to better himself in his new sphere. He saw nothing to do but to accept the resignation and moved to that effect. Archer refprred to Johnson's good work and in seconding Harvey's motion expressed his personal aloha. The motion was unanimously carried. The chair thanked Johnson for the board for the way he had attended to his duties and stated that he had come as near pleasing everybody as It was possible for a man to do. He wished him success in his new position and expressed a hope that his successor would be as satisfactory to board as Col. Johnson had been. A DISPLEASING LETTER. The following communication was also read: Honolulu, T. H., May 19. 1908. Board County of Oahu, Gentlemen: I beg to call to your at tention, that it Is two months and a week today, since the last petition was filed and so far nothing has been done towards what has been petitioned for, except one small light, which I and the balance wish to thank you gentlemen for, but, certainly would like to have you comply with petition. I further wish to be Informed If the board Intends to comply with, the petition and I further wish to call to your attention, that considerable road work has been done on different roads since the first and second petitions were filed and we have been waiting and are stilf waiting and I and the balance of the voters and taxpayers consider it an injustice, especially for the reason that the people with the pull are served first and we, the work- ing class, have to wait till you get good and ready.

The chair thought that the letter was disrespectful and sald'that. when V, W emu pit The official lineup of the Santa Clara baseball team was received by the last mail, and appears in this issue for the first time. Already the fans about town are getting busy, speculating as to just what sort of a proposition the town boys are up against. That the visitors will bring along some classy ball there is little doubt, for their reputation is f at present in the ranks of the top-notch- They have played moro games of ball during the past winter than any team on the Coast, and have tried out nearly every team in the Pa- cific Coast League, in what they call the "warm-u- p scries," leaving many of their opponents on the short end. They are all headv vounirstcrs. who "have handled" a ball more than once or twice in their lives, and when they play them the local boys will see what base ball is really like. Kilburn, the captain and pitcher, has been heard of before, his picture having appeared in this paper several weeks ago. Shafer, who plays on the receiving; end, is a man after the style of Bliss of Mike Fisher's players, with an eyo like an eagle and an arm like a rapid-fir- e gun. It is safe to predict that a. little practice in base-steali- will bo needed before some of the home boys safely negotiate the second landing. Among tho players to come is one who it may be well to mention, Peters, tho utility man, who can play almost anywhere. For batting qualities this youngster is certainly the limit, his average being equal to that of some of the bigger league bugs. The team throughout consists of heavy stickers, assuring the local fielders of plenty of opportunities to show their metal. Fortunately, tho home teams are well placed in this line, as what better fielding could bo expected than that dished out day after day by such men. as Kia, Aylett, Bruns, Olmos and gome of the other strong men of the Hono- lulu diamond. This little jaunt to tho Islands is looked upon by the visitors as one they are glad to bo included in, and will not only prove of benefit to Ha- waii's boys in furnishing a higher edu- cation in America's greatest game, but will turn out to be a banner stroke in promotion work for tho Islands. Up to yesterday there had been quite a demand on the box office for reserved seats, which is not only encouraging to the promoters, but assures the fans of Honolulu that unusual interest in baseball Is now taking shape. The lineup of the team selected to play the open- ing game is as follows: Player. Position. Kilburn Pitcher and captain M. S.
