Clinton J. Hutchlns, president of the
Hawaii Telegraph and Telephone
Company, which Is the new combina
tion ot the Wireless Telegraph Com

chise for equipping this Island with
automatic telephones and so doing
away with the trials of a human cen
tral, has in practical contemplation
the establishment of a wireless tele
phonic communication between Hono
lulu and Hllo.
Wireless telephones are already in
existence in a few spots and are some
times used with success between ships
of war, and Isbell's recent wonderful
experience with hearing human voices
caught by the Barber's Point wireless
station while officers of two of the
vessels ot the Atlantic fleet were tam

That it does not pay to fool with the

Issued by Judge Dole this afternoon.
Wlrschuleit was subpoenaed by the
United States Marshal when here at
the time of the murder. He was told
that his presence would berequired

the trial took place. He was also told
that the easiest way to make sure or

Hutchlns stated today that he had
been kept busy over since it was an
nounced that the automatic telephone
was to be Installed here.
"Prominent business men of- this
city," says Hutchlns, "have hunted me
up to sign contracts for the installa
tion in their places of business and
homes of the new automatic. People
of this city are falling over each other
to arrange for the installation of the
new phone. Everybody appears more
than anxious to be assured that they
can secure one of the new phones.
"We have the rights for the wireless
telephone also, and when the time
comes may instnl inter-island tele

pear when wanted, he was allowed to
go to the Coast on his vessel.
It appears that he decided that his
promise was worthless, for he told his
shipmates when the vessel was but a
few days out, that he could not be
bluffed by any marshal or police offi
cer and' would not come back. Sure
enough, he failed to appear when
wanted. Now he will be arrested and
will find out that the arm of the Fed
eral Court ot this district Is one which
can reach even across the seas and
can punish those who disregard It.
The warrant will be Issued this af
ternoon by Judge Dole, upon an affi
davit sworn to by U. S. District Attor
ney Breckons and will bo given to
U. S. Marshal Hendry for service. The
latter will cable to the U. S. Marshal
in San Francisco, who will apprehend
his man and then arrangements will
be made to bring him to this city,
where he will bo tried for contempt.

R OAHU
For only ono day was the Matsou
Navigation S. 5J. Hllonlan out ot wire
less communication with the shore.
For threo days she was getting all the
world news from the mainland States
by way of San Francisco and for the
three last days of her trip she was
getting all the cabled world news from
Honolulu, or rather from the Kahtiku
station. This cable news, from all
over the world, was posted In a con
spicuous place that all the passengers
might read.
The Hllonlan, Captain Peter John
son, arrived at G:30 this morning from
San Francisco. She came Jagged with
freight, full up, loaded, packed. She
has hay and grain and feed and food.
She has five automobiles and .thirty
nine head ot cattle. She has turkeys,
chickens, ducks and other bmall-stock.
She has Thanksgiving goods and
Christmas stuff for the stores. She
has ice-house goods a-plenty, and lum
ber and general freight of all kinds.
Rough weather was experienced al
most throughout, but no one suffered
and the usual good times, socially,
were enjoyed aboard the reliable Mat-
son liner.
In addition to general cargo, the Hl
lonlan brought seventy packages of
fortification material, over three hun
dred tons, Including carriages for sev
eral of the big disappearing guns that
are to bo placed at Pearl Harbor. Some
of the sections weigh nineteen tons.
There were forty-five passengers
brought by the Hllonlan.
