formation of a corporation to han
dle on a cooperative batl8 tbe de
liveries of the larger local retail b.isi
rcss houses. The plan ha the indorse
ment of the territorial food coranils
ekro. which first suggested the if oper
ative scheme, and the initial capital!
zation of the proposed concern prob
ably will be Id the neighborhood cf
A large number of the leading re
tail houses in Honolulu are vitally
Interested in the project, and he prop
osition was recently discussed at a
tueeling at which representatives of
these firms were present. Among
the firms represented, it v.as an
nouncd. were W. W. Dimond and
Company, Alclnerny shoe store and
Mclneruy clothing store. J. M. lvy
and company, Wells-Fargo company,
HollUter Drug company, May and
company. C J. Day and company, E.
O. Hall and Son and B. 7. Thiers
and company. Another meeting of
rrprisentativea of these I'rraa was to
i. held tnis afternoon to further dlv
. eiife the .;ropofftlon.
The plan Is to have the proposed
corporation take over all the deliv
ery equipnuftt : of the various letatl
houi.es at in appraiser value giv
ing, in retuvi, atock In the ccrpora
fen equaling the valu? of the equU'
nent. With this equipment the tor
poratlon would handle all deliveries
or the companies. It is nlso planned
t deliver goods at a somewhat high
er figure tor those bnsiness houses

Income of tlxe -corporation would be
derived from small feen charged for
the delivery, of each package.
- While no definite decision has been
reached as regards the aiuonat Qf the
iLiJal capiUl stock, it h teen esu
lifted at about 125,000 which, it f
said. Is about 'one-half the value oi
the , equipment now -used by various
houses, in making deliveries. Tne
corporation 'would be In. position to
handle the same work with 123.000 as
: It Is now taking About $30,000 to carry
out," It Is asserted, and this is. ac
credited td the fact that, with the cor

hopes to continue his study here alons
the same lines, jtossibly to yean
from now.
"1 found several new forms of the
liverwort in my study of the plant
life in these places," said Prof. Cam i
bell in telling of his work, ' and these ; m tne year. Keawi KeaweKani,, a ria

"There is a remarkable resemblance
and in some cases a similarity in the
vegetation of the islands and that of
the southern part of tha Asiatic con
tinent," declared Prof, campoeii
'You have varieties of plants here
that belong to that region which are
not represented at all on the North
American continent.
"The question lies in how they got
there. It does not seem as though
they were brought ,to this land by
birds, because there are no birds
here which migrate in any number,
to that section of the World. I don't
believe that the plants were intro
duced by the natives who traveled be
tween the countries. It looks very much
as though at some time in the history
of tbe world the Islands were connec
ted with the Asiatic mainland.
"Your kukul tree is found on tbe
Malay peninsula. As a matter of
fact, it got its name from that region.
and is a tree of that place. The lau
hala tree, the tree from which mats
are made, which looks something like
a pineapple sprout and the vine which
resembles It very much dhd is found
on the trees In the forests, are both
old world forms.
"I owe much appreciation for the
attention which has made my work
possible to Prof. Jlock, Mr. Hardy on
Kauai; Mr. Lyon, Mr. Mulr, and many
others who have enabled me to carry
on my study," said Prof. Campbell.
Prof. Campbell is professor of bot
any at Stanford : university. He re
ceived the degree of Ph. M. from
Michigan in 1882, the degree of Ph.D.
In 1886, studied in Bonn, Tubingen,
and Berlin for two - years, was profes
sor of botany at the University of In
dlana and since then has been with
the Leland Stanford Jr. University
He . has,, written several books be

"The nreparedness movement is

British navy begins to attack tbe ene
my, something will happen," accord
inr to Capt M. Mlxatani of the Im
perial 'Japanese navy, who la en route
to Toklo In the Korea Maru.
Capt Mlxutanl was. In London and
Paris for one year. He visited the
other European cities, too. While
away, representing the Japanese navy,
he had occasion to make a close ob
servation of the movement of the Brit
ish and French fleets. He is now re
turning to Japan convinced that the
time will come when the enemy'a
ships will be attacked by the British
grand fleet
Capt Mizutanl admitted thia morn
ing that while British ships have
been destroyed. by the German subma
rines, it is hardly noticeable in Eng
land. The admiralty ' office in Lon
don is continually preparing for
grand attack, v -
'Asked whether it is necessary for
the Japanese government to send its
troops to Russia to help the Allies
in fighting the Germans, Capt Mizu
tanl said that such a move was not
needed. He believed that Russia, with
her population and great resources
will be able to combat with the Ger

In the search of Goldino's nnm-

Are Indicted By Grand Jury
H
ELD responsible for the death of
Tsunetaro liayashibara, the Jap
anese who was taken into a cane
field near Kaneohe on the night of
August 'l and shot and stabbed after
i store had been robbed, the six
tectives Arthur McDuffie and ".lis men.1
were Indfcted by the territorial grand '
jury late yesterday afternoon on a.
' Large of first degree murder, the j
uty attorney's office announced to-'
uay.
Although the men have been indict
ed. the true bill has not et been re
,'orted to the court. Tlic 'urnie:i
''ere to meet again this afternoon to
oiisirtr steral other criminal cases,
d were to include the indicuient
ituaiir-t the Filipinos in a partial le-j
;urt to bo handed Circuit Judge Wi-en ;
at about I o'clock.
The men indicted for murder are
Alarin, Fduardo Asunicion. Gabriel
Vrer. Florencio Bonella, Pedro Po-
ra8 ant Arnador Alerta. The detec
lives report ttiat an or tne men nave
confessed complicity n the murder
and robbery following a rigid examin
ation by Chief McDuffie, Deputy At
torney Charles Chillingworth and Dep
uty Sheriff Julius W. Asch. Alarlo
is the one who is believed to have
?hot the Japanese after he was led
ironi nis store into a cane tieia ana
Verver is alleged to have done the
stabbing.
ihere is a possibility that, if the
indictment is presented this afternoon,
the alleged murderers will be ar
raigned before Circuit Judge Heen at
9 o'clock tomorrow, although the case
may go over until Saturday which
is the usual arraignment day. As
yet none of the Filipinos have se
cured attorneys, says the city attor
ney's of i fee.
The Kaneohe murder and robbery,
in which the wife of the dead man
j was-also mistreated, is akin in some
respects to the gruesome tragedy at
, Kahauiki. near Fort Shatter, a few
years ago, when four Filipinos en
tered the store of a Chinese, shot a.'d
killed the proprietor and his wife and
! robbed the place of several hundred
. dollars.
Captain McDuffie, with only a
blood-stained sweater coat to work
l on, ran down the murderers and saw
three cf them convicted and hung. The
fourth turned state's evidence and
was given a prison sentence.
The Kahauiki tragedy created in
tense excitement and bitterness in
the local Chinese community, and
shortly after the execution of the
three men Captain McDuffie was pre
sented by Chinese with a handsome
gold detective shield. In the center f
which if as an enormous diamond.
