XII No. 2245, VgJ MIT ROBRERV MAI ON FILIPINOS ON ffl Chinese Vegetable Yen- dors Victims of Masked Men. INOFFENSIVE PEOPLE MAIE TO PAY MONEY ALL CASES REPORTED ARE OF ' 8IMILAR NATURE POLICE BE LIEVE ROBBERS ARE POR TUGUESE HOODLUMS. In crlmo as well na In other thing Honolulu seems to tnku up the pare ot the Mainland. The latest startling feature la a series of bold robberies committed by a couple of masked high waymen In the vicinity of I'unahou. These robberies are quite a new lulus as they have just occurred during the last two nights. The robbers wear masks to conceal their Identities and select the comparatively harmless Chi nese vegetable men tor their victims. Their method of work Is as simple ai It Is effective. One of the masked men grabs the head of the person to bn robbed while the other mounts the wa gon and flourishing a long knltn, threatens the frightened celestials to give up their hard earned dollars. So fjr, only three cases are known to the police but as the robbers seem to be quite systematic It Is probable that more will follow. On Tuesday night nt about I'.' o'clock occurred the first caso known to tho police. A Chinese vegetable vendor irom Walalae was driving his one horse rlc peacefully down tho road leading to Pa lolo when suddenly, In a spot just be low J. McCarthy's place, two men ap peared In the road right In front ot Ulni. Both the men were masked so that the Chinaman could not say who tbey were. One ot the men held the horse's head, bringing It to a stand still, wbllo (he other climbed up on the wagon. He drew a long knife and threatened the driver that he would kilt him If be did not hnnd out alt the money he had with him. Tho thoroughly frightened Clhnaman hastened to comply with the rcauest and gave the lobber $7. He was then allowed to continue on his way to town. Early this morning, two robberies quite similar to the one described, oc curred In the neighboring vicinity. At 2 o'clock Ah Lit, a vegetable vendor, was driving along Reretanla street near I'unahou. when he was held up at a spot just below the Puna hoij rice mill, by two men whose ap peal a nee and method of work tallied In every detail with that of the rob bers ot the previous night. Ah Lit was lellcted of $2. This Chinaman states that while he was not able to make out who the highwaymen were on account of tho masks which effectually hid their faces, ho thinks the men were Portu guese from the way they spoke. At '.', o'clock 'this morning still an other hold-up took, place at a spot .1 little WalUlkl of the place where Ah Lit was held up. The victim, also a vegetable vendor, who was taking his goods to market, Is called Ah Leung. He wus robbed of a llttlo over $1. Ills description of the men and the meth ods employed by them Is Identical with that of the previous cases. Detective David Knapn, who hub tak en the matter In hand. Is of .he opln Iwn that the robbers nro joung Poitu gueso hoodlums of which there are quite a number In that vicinity. Their way of doing the work U nf so clumsy a description and tbf vlrtlrm they slnglo out so easy to frighten it would wem to Indltute thnt thu perpetrators of these cilmes aro quite gieen In tho business, Kanpa hopes that he will teiv mior be able to lay his hands on the offenders.

Among the passengers In the trans port Buford Is Major Gardener, 13th U. S. Infantry, whose report on the "water cure" has created such a stir In military and other circles on the Mainland. Major Gardener Is on his way to 8an Francisco where he his been ordered to report on duty at the adjutant general's department. He does not know It any further action will be taken with regard to the re port. Major Gardener when seen by a Bulletin reporter this morning was reticent with regard to the report but spoke about the Philippines In an cr ccedingly pleasant and courteous man' ner. "I do not wish to express mjself with regard to the report." he said, "as I believe that this would bo a very Inopportune time for mo to refer to It. 1 was ordered to write a report about tho rillplnos. I was then civil governor of the Province of Tayapas, In Luzon, and In writing my report I gave my view and spoke of the people as I saw and knew them. Other peo ple may have other views. I ronslder I only did my duty In giving mine. "I arrived In the Philippines about three years ago, coming through hero In September. I hate served In the Philippines In both military and civil capacities. As civil governor I had no military duties whatever and came In very close touch with tho Filipinos. I think that these people have ninny good traits and consider that the civil government will bo highly successful. Now the war Is over and things aro quieting down, we are able to get a better and bioader view ot these peo ple. In war time, It Is the general custom to decry the enemy. Now we are able to see that he has many good points. "The Filipinos are highly moral and the observance of what Western clvlll tatloa has douc for Japan and 'other Oriental countries has made them fair ly thirst for education. This, of course refers to the people In tfie cities who aro of greater Intelligence than those in the country. In the cities, the Fili pinos come up In Intelligence to the ordinary standard ot Latin ruics, and with their thirst for education, which has so long been denied them, they are bound to make rapid progress. A number of joung Filipinos are at pres ent going to the United States to get college educations, the majority of them going to Ann Arbor where thero Is quite a colony of them. Tho civil government in the Philip pines seems to be on the road to suc cess. While it Is as et undecided what the ultimate future of that country will be still things are progressing fa vorably. "While I was civil gorernor I follow ed closely the policy of the United States, such as I heard outllued oy the utterances of President McKltilcy and President Itoosevelt. When the policy of tho Government Is definitely outlin ed the progress of the country will undoubtedly be rapid." Major Gardener spoke enthusiast! call of Honolulu and the progress made by this city sinco his last stay here three jears ago. The major has several friends here and speaks of his stay as a great pleasuie.

M02 Judge Estee's Reception IN There was a gratifying responso to the Invitations Issued by Judge Morris M, Estee to membors of Bench and Bar, also Federal officials, to meet Hon. John M. Thurston at the opening of the United States District Court this morning. After somo time devot ed to presentations, Judge Kstee by request asked the guest of, honor for rcamrks and took his seat on tho bench, with Justice Perry of thu Su preme Court and Judge Humphreys of the Clieult Court on either hand. Mr. Thurston was accompanied by Carroll Purman, bis brother-in-law and representative of Collier's Weekly. Others present wero Judges Gear and Robinson, former Justice Whiting, At torney General Dole, District Attorney Brechons, Deputy Attorney Generals Cathcart and Doutbltt. Messrs. W. O. Smith, Castle, Fitch. Highton, Hatch, Stewart, Stanley, Derby and Whitney ot the Bar; Marshal Henry, Collector Stackablo and Interpreter Uusb. Mr. Thurston, rising from his scat at the right ot tho courtroom, remark ed that he could say In all truthfulness that he was very glad Indeed to meet with the gentlemen ot bis profession here in this portion ot the Great Re public "I have not hud much chance to form an opinion of your Island as yet." he proceeded to say, "having had to be content with a view mostly from my bed. Hut from an Invalid's stand point I ran say you have one ot thu finest climates that can be found any wheie." He hoped to meet them In their of fices when ho was able to run around. Always glad to meet members of his profession, It was a great pleasure to see so rnany of them assembled there. It had been said that no people could be regarded as free unless they had courts where Justice could bo absolute ly assured. Congress, In Its careful worK in iraming me Act to provide all government ror the Territory of Ha - nail, doubtlessly enacted a measure Incomplete In many rapects, yat cor- talnly gave them a splendid judicial system. It was a treat tor him to find hero upon the Bench his old friend anu n uisnnguisnea member or tno times, tho latter caused a laugh by In Bar, as he knew him formerly, Judgojtcrjccting, "I am only a young rel'tow." Kstee. (Applause.) The lives, liber- Mr. Fitch resumed with the observa ty. property and interests of tho pco- pie or this Territory would-be safe while such men presided over the ju- uiriary system. "I think the court, said Mr. Thurs- ion li conclusion, "for this opportu- nlty to meet you gentlemen face to Political One of the most Interesting caucuses thut has been held In Honolulu for J long time was called together very hur riedly at the noon hour vesterday and while nothing wus actually accomplish ed one man at least wus given to under stand how leaders In the Fifth DUtriet feel so far as he Is concerned. Thcie were In the neighborhood ot fifteen pietent at the caucus, the ma- jority being staunch Hawaiian sup porters of the Republican paity. The gathering was In response to a lequest by Col. C P. laukea. I Col. laukea explained that he hud como fiom George H. Carter and that! his mission was to state to tho leaders In the riflli that they must pull down tho name of Dr Georgo Huddy for senatorial honors and substitute tho name of Senator W. C. Achl In con sideration of this action. If taken, ('al ter would retain John C, Laua on the thket and woik for Dr. Iluddy for nomination as a candidate for tho House of RepresentalKcs. All this, t'.ulei wanted done. It these terms wcu- not acceded to, the suppoiteis or Lane and Huddy would get nothing. Tho members Horn the Firth present at tho caucus did not like this ultima tum and they said so plainly. First, one man wanted to know who Carter vas anyway and what right he had to be poking bis finger Into a pie that wns nono of his. Another man wanted to know If Carter was trying to bo tho boss ot the Republican party. Other embarrassing questions wero asked. After much talking and explaining, during which It was continually being brought out that Carter was trying to dictate, it was deefded to reconsider the agreement on Lane, and Huddy for the Senate, drawing down Hiidd)'3 name. If It would be agreed to taku Achl out of tho fight and select an en tlicly new man. laukea said at once that ho was sure thlB would not bo acceptable to Carter. Someone asked what authority Cuter had to suggest names any way ami laukea replied that ho had the Fifth iiiumci in ins pocket. Another co worker with Carter had the Fouith District In his pocket Huddy, who was present at the cau- OPEN COURT To Senator Thurston face . I meet you hero lor the flrst time. So Impressed am I with the ad vantages of your Islands as a summer resort, however, that 1 think I shall endeavor to make a pilgrimage here Irom year to year In the summer months." (Applause.) Mr. Highton was Introduced "on ac count of his youth" by Judge Kstee. He began his response by saying Judge Kstee was only two years bis senior in admission to the Bar. "I was tailed to to bar In 18G0, which Is not a great while ago," he laughingly remarked. He was most happy to be permitted to unlto in that reception to a man ot such distinction as a lawyer and a statesman. Senator Thurston war. the property of the nation and as much at home In Hawaii as In hie own State of Nebraska. The speaker belonged to the pioneers ot California, but ho was not one of those pioneers who wero living today in 1849. It wim the duty of every man to keep in harmony with tho Advancing Institutions of civ ilization. The Bar had undergone a great change. The time for long con stitutional speeches had gone by.

Thomas Fitch was also facetiously Introduced as a youngster, and made the assembly roar at the outset with n story about a man who was persuad- cii against his win to ride in the sarao carriage with his mother-in-law at his wires funeral, and who. n giving In. said: "Very well. If It must be so. but must assure you It destroys all the 'pleasure of this occasion." Proceed- Ing. ho doubted If the utilitarian condl- j tlon referred to by lb previous speaker were much of an Improvement of things forty jears ago. As he call- cd Judge Estoe to witness of the old (tlon that tho das ot their youth were the days ot their glory.

Sumner, Garrison, Gough, and others In wore the oratory, and nsked where successors of Longfellow, Whirl of cus, said he was pcifectly willing tn leave everything to the committee ot the district. He did not want to stand in the way at all. laukea himself was then asked It he thought It fair for Carter to be dic tating to the Fifth District nnd he re plied In the negative Asked If It was his belief thut the Republican party could win out with Carter as the boss ami again came the answer In thu negative. Could Achl win out In the Fifth. Once more a negative answer. I"' 1 ri Inukci was then UHkcd why It was then desired to put up Achl and he answered. "Ilemuse they demand It" Realising that laukea was sincere In his effort to bring nil factions or the party together, he was told that lr Car ter persisted In following out the course he was taklng,it would be seen to that tne lepoit nl his, attempting to Income a boss would he spiead far and lde It was pointed out to Iuukca that the mnttei toiiH not all bo thieshed out during the one hour that was given to the meeting and no agreement coulu ho made dining so shoit a time. The matter could not even be carefully cm sldered. laukea answered that If ho went 'away fiom the meeting without an ngiecment to the proposition of Carter, that would be the end of It. It was at this point thut the members of tho Fifth sent back to Carter through laukea an ultimatum In ans wer to his. It was to the effect thai tho sender or the ultimatum could "go "way back and sit down" so rar as they were concerned. They did not Intend to alter their ticket. That was the end of It.

There were one or two stars In oratory, he admitted, and they could not say that oratory was in decadence when they looked In the lace of their guest. He had heard him movo a na tional convention with such eloquence as fulHIIed that definition of oratory which called It "reason permeated and made hot with passion." He had heard speeches or Mr Thurston which wero not only artcr the Greek method or short, sharp and decisive sentuuees, but brilliant In nights or fnncy. Cecil Brovvn was Introduced with tho remark, In reference to his Ha wallan birth, that "Some of us aro not to blame that we were nut born here."

The big mass meeting of the Portu guese Club, which waB to have taken place tonight and at which the candi dates for the Legislature were to have been chosen, will be postponed until Saturday night next on account of the fact that It Is desired flMt to hear of the result of the Fourth District Com mittee deliberations.

STARTLING l A curious question was raised In the Manuwal divorce case before Judge Gejr. A. I.. C Atkinson Intervened with Information to make It appear that the parties were never legally married. P. I.. Weaver obJecteJ strongly to Mr. Atkinson's Interfer ence nt thai stage of the case, but the court held it was right. Counsel said Mr. Atkinson's communication to the court was only prlvato conversation. "It may he private conversation, but It Is publicly expressed," was the court's settler. The Information was to the effect that the marriage license In question was Issued by an agent whose commis sion at the time was null and void. The commission was dated In 1870 and the constitution or 1894 made all commis sions void which were not renewed by a certain date. Investigation showed that this one had not been renewed when the holder issued the Maunwal marrlago license. Mr. Weaver was allowed to come In later with such motion as he might deem proper In the case. The Issue raised may be of wide spread effect In its decision, as It may affect the validity of many marriages. FERNANDEZ IN I Iu the Police Court this morning Abraham Fernandez, manager or tho Hawaiian Hardware Company, In the warehouse or which concern the disas trous Are occurred last Saturday after noon, appeared to answer the charge of having stored more than ten gallons of turpentine the amount allowed by law In the warehouse. It Is alleged thut Mr. Fernandez had forty gallons of that Inflammable liquid In the warehouse. Judge Whit ing appeared tor the defense and ask ed ror a continuance, which was grant ed.
