Offers $150,000 Reward for
Capture Executive of China,
Vice President and Legal
Adviser s
. ,.
4- Information reaching Honolulu
within the last week is to the ef-
' feet that Dr. Sun Yat Sen has
offered a reward of $59,000 eacb
for the capture of the president,
vice president and legal advisor
4- of the central Chinese govern--f
ment, or a total of $150,000, It is
also .reported that the Chinese
government has placed a price
of $100,000 on. Dr. Sun's head;
4 4f
"1 feel that it is my duty to Issue
a friendly warning to Chinese in Ha
waii against contributing to any loan
or in any way financially aiding Dr.
Sun Yat Sen's reported movement to
foment a rebellion in China," says
Tsz-ang Woohuan, Chinese consul,
K who yesterday officially exposed Dr.
supported by German capital and in
. fluence. i .;
. Lay Chinese in Honolulu are silent
on the quest'.on of whether the Dr.
Sun movement has reached Hawaii.
Reports are going around thatmoney
has already been cor tributedand an
investigation has been, startedto find
out if money lias actually been sent
4out of the territory. A copy oT the
Peking Daily News,. English edition,
now In the hands 'of Consul Woohuan,
contains the mandate which officially
denounces Dr. Sun and his followers
and which urges their immediate ar
rest and confinement.:
Bonds Are Issued : '
While Cpnsul Woohuan has -no
definite information upon - which he
might base a report or ask local fed
eral authorities to take action, it has
been reported to him that bonds is
sued by Doctor Sen and his followers
have already reached Honolulu and
that money has been contributed, here
and sent out of the islands. Whether
German agents are already at work
here is not known and officials will
not advance any theories In this re
spect It is believed, however, that
German agents are probably already
at work on the mainland and in the
Straits settlements.
Consul Woohuan is authority for
the fact that Doctor, Sea is now in
Canton, where lie has surrounded
himself with a so-called congress of
100 followers and members of his
party. He is also reported to have
two divisions of the southern army at
, his disposal, as well as two or three
V7hIns which he , designates as his
ivy. It Is with these advisers and
' mis force cf men and ships that he
expects to overthrow the present Chi
nese government, thinks the consul;
"China has joined the Allies in this
world war," said ; the Chinese consul
today, "and although she has no big
army to send to the front, yet she is
doing all she can within her own ter
ritory, to aid her allies." :
Consul '.Woohuan also points . out
that the central government, shortly
following its reorganization, Issued
an official mandate which denounced
Doctor Sea and a large number of, his
followers. This action, adds the con
sul, is one not generally known out
side of China.
German Agents Working
Another important point made by
Consul Woohuan Is that it is know a
that German' agents and money were
sent recently to Canton and into Man
churia, This throws further light on
the belief that Doctor Sen's proposed
revolution is being aided by the Teu
tons. This was done, believes the
consul, to stir up the bandit tribes
against the central government, as
well as to Incite further revolutions
which might be detrimental to the
central government. This ajction,' he
adds, was brought out in the official
' mandate denouncing Doctor Sen and
his followers. - "
Copies of the Liberty News, a Chi
nese newspaper;, published , "here,
which are now in the hands of the
district attorney, show that, on seve
ral , occasions, that publication urged
the Chinese in Hawaii to contribute
to the loan. ' ,
Information to be on the lookout for
v 'Chinese subscribing to the loan or
' I -xltherwlse'-istiding Doctor Sen 'was re
ceived recently by the district attor
ney's office. Thus far that office has
received nothing upon which to base
an action. In the Chinese district,
however, it is reported -that the pro
paganda is already being secretly
aided. -
NO FEASIBLE SOLUTION -TO
FISH PROBLEM
YET GIVENSAYS CHILD
"Not one concrete, feasible propo
sition to remedy present fish condi
tions has been advanced by fisher
men, fishing companies or fish stall
men since the Question has been be
fore the public and the territorial
food commission,", declared J. Fran
cis Child, federal food administrator
for Hawaii. " -;
He adds that, in his opinion, the
only way to solve the question . is to
get the many public fishing rights in
to the hands of the public, thus doing
away with monopolies on fishing and
' bait grounds, and allowing all persons
to fish when- and where they please.
"An Investigation of the fish ques
tion, principally the recent advance
Iel price and the scarcity of fish in
the markets, is being held by the food
commission I this .afternoon in the
chamber of commerce rooms. Fish
ermen, representatives of the fishing
companies, dealers and the public
generally have been invited to attend.
The meeting Is in the, nature of a
: public hearing.:::-'-:-

Local Capitalists Perfect Re
organization With Ballen
tyne as Managing Director;
Big Salt Lake Men on Board;
More Claims Acquired : ;
MONTANA-BINGHAM Is now in
ful control of Hawaii capital and
title has been acquired to all sub
sidiary mines In the big Utah mining
property, states a cablegram which
has been received here from C, G.
Ballentyne.
' Mr. Ballentyne has been . elected
president of the reorganized company,
which Is believed here to mean that
he will give up his superintendency of
the Honolulu Rapid, Transit Co. and
take the active management of the
Utah mining project. ...
The reorganization of the company
has been effected along lines which
Mr. Ballentyne suggested, after he had
made an exhaustive study or the prop
erty at the request of a hui of local
capitalists(,who were heavy investors
in Montana-Binghani. Among those
most Interested in the property were
John Watt, Robert Shingle and C. G.
Bockus, all of whem investigated the
recommendations for the develop
ment of the property made by Mr. Bal
lentyne. - '- ;
A Russian engineer by the name of
Souukoff, who has been with the Gug
genheim interests for years. Is to act
as mines superintendent of the Mon-tana-BIngham
property, it is asserted.
Locally It is stated that securing the
"services of Mr. Ballentyne to act as
manager of the big mining property
was consummated by giving him a big
stock bonus and a large salary and
long time contract As managing di
rector of the reorganized mining com
pany his position will . be similar to
the one held by D. C. Jackling with
the Utah Copper Co.
His brother, Thomas Ballentyne,
may succeed him as manager of the
Honolulu ; Street Car Company, as he
has held the acting management since
Mr. Ballentyne's absence on the coast.
Mr. Ballentyne was the organizer of
the Rapid Transit Co. and its first and
only manager since '1899.
By the. reorganization the interests
or cooperation of- a group of : Utah
capitalists was secured, who were the
promoters of the property. For inter
ests held In adjacent mines, but in
cluded in the Montana-Bingham prop
erty, these Utah capitalists have been
givo-i stock in the new organization
and representation in the directorate.
The message from Mr. Ballentyne is
self-explanatory to those familiar with
the ' Montana-Bingham property and
the plans for the : reorganization. It

It took a jury in Circuit Judge
Heen's court a little more than , two
minutes this morning to reach a ver
dict of not guilty in the case of Ah
Hee and 36 other Chinese who were
chargedwith being present at a gam
bling game behind closed doors. The
verdict brings to a, close a case with
a history, and one that has been pend
ing for about a year and a half.
The room in which the Chinese were
alleged to have been indulging in the
"seven-'leven" pastime was raided by
Attorney Will T. Carden, then second
deputy city attorney; Deputy City At
torney Charles Chillinworth, Detect
ive Harry T. Lake and John Ness, then
on the editorial staff of the Adver
tiser. These four were the "star" witnesses
for the prosecution, but, according to
the verdict, their testimony failed to
convince the jury that the Chinese de
fendants were breaking the law. ,The;
defendants were discharged and their
bonds cancelled.
Dr, J. S. B. Pratt says that doctors,
dentists and optometrists of the city
are making prompt response to his
call for volunteers to serve upon the
staff of corrective defects, organized
to remedy minor ailments of drafted
persons who might be unfit for mili
tary duty without proper treatment.
Up to this morning he had a list of 32
volunteers.
A report has reached Honolulu, com
ing through reliable sources, that the
embargo on unessential freight, to Ho
nolulu will include cement and all
other road-building materials, as well
as structural steel and iron for all
commercial purposes. Governor Pink
ham, asked today if he could confirm
Or deny this report, said that he was
not ready to make any statement.
If the report should prove true it
would have a far-reaching effect on all
Hawaii, particularly as to the roads
now building, and tor which sufficient
material for completion is not at hand,
and on all proposed new roads for next
year.
City and County Lnineer Cantin,
when approached on the subject, said:
"If it is. true that structural steel
and iron cannot be shipped to com
plete federal government buildings it
seems equally probable that road ma
terials cannot be shipped to complete
city and county roads. Whether this
would apply to road materials for the
military roads proposed for Hawaii
rests with the United States govern
ment. Only the army and navy here,
or the governor, who keeps in touch
with such affairs, would be in a posi
tion to speak definitely about this
matter."

That approximately $15.70 is the
gross profit made by retail meat deal
ers on a beef carcass is shown in a
report submitted to J. F. Child, fed
eral food administrator, by one of Ho
nolulu's leading Chinese markets.
On Oct. 2 this market purchased a
beef carcass weighing 577 pounds.
Eight days later it was removed from
cold storage and was found to have
lost 14 pounds from shrinkage. After
it had been prepared to be cut up for
the trade it had lost another 11 pounds
through waste, or a total of 25 pounds.
The carcass cost 16 cents a pound,
or $92.32. After it had been sold at
retail the market had taken in $10S.02,
thus making a gross profit of $15.70
on the sale. This market sells about
five carcasses a day, making a total
gross profit of $128.50. Some of the
higher retail prices' charged by the
market are: Porterhouse, 33 cents a
pound; tenderloin, 32 cents; sirloin,
0 cents; prime rib roast, 25 cents and
rounds, 25 cents.
Hallowe'en Kaonohiokaumu is the
name that has been given to the lit
tle daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Takie

Warboy given to a son of Richard S,
Kelly of 565 Kapahulu road. The
