Definite announcement is now
made of the plans of the Hono

Company to extend its car ser
vice to tho Pea-1 Harbor nav.i:
station. With this announce
ment comes another of great
Importance to Honolulu, to the
effect that ngrsemenls have
been reached whereby land"? pd
joinlng the naval reservation
will not be released for building
purposes, which will mean that
the employes of the station will
probably live In Honolulu. The
desire of the naval authorities
to forestall any possibility ot a
lot ot saloons and undesirable
resorts growing up around iho
station is responsible for agree
ments to withhold the land.

the naval station and their tracks will
be built on a private right of way
skirting the cane lands of the Hono
lulu Plantation and giving them a
much more direct lino than that which
is now in use on the tracks of thp
Oahu Railroad and Land Company.
One of the most important things
which has caused the Rapid Transit
Company to decide on building to
Pearl Harbor Is also of great Impor
tance to the merchants of this city.
Land in the vicinity of the naval sta
tion will not bo sub-leased by the
plantations which have long leases on
it, for the erection of buildings of any
kind. The only buildings which will
be erected in the immediate vicinity
of the now Government structures will
be on tho Reservation itself, whore
they will bo entirely under the control
of the naval authorities.
It is understood that an agreement
has been made between the naval au
thorities and tho plantations to this

WILLEMSTAD (Curacao), December
12. President Castro ot Venezuela, it
Is declared here by his enemies, has
no intention of ever returning to his
own land, It is declared that his voy
age to Europe for the purpose of sub
mitting to an operation Is merely a
ruse to cover his flight from Venezu
elaand that he has gone abroad to
enjoy the vast sum ot money which he
has stolen, seized and grafted and
from time to time deposited in the
banks of Europe. This sum is esti
mated to aggregate all the way from
$20,000,000 .to $60,000,000. (Continued on Page 9.)

Such is tho belief throughout Vene

that the trip which Castro is taking
to Europe, ostensibly for medical treat
ment, Is in reality an abdication, and
that, having made himself rich in his
nine years' tennre ot the office of pres-
ldent, he will spend tho rest of his
days In dissipation in Europe.

REFORM
WASHINGTON, D. C, December 23. Justice Daniel T. Wright, of the
Supremo Court ot the District ot Columbia, has decided against the ofli
clals of the Federation of Labor in tho contempt case ot tho Buck Stovo
Company. He sentenced President Gompers of tho Federation of Labor to
one year in prison, Secretary Frank Morrison to six months and Second
Vice-President John Mitchell, to nine months. Tho case will bo appealed
to the United States Supreme Court.
Tho contempt case arose through the refusal ot the officials of tho Ame
rican Federation of Labor to obey an injunction issued during labor trou
bles against the Buck Stove Company, one ot the largest companies ot its
kind In the United States. I
v The Kauai election contest ended this afternoon. Baker, Republican,
who was given a majority of four votes In the election returns, wins in the
recount-by only two votes. The two candidates were tied until the last pre
cinct was counted. This was Koloa. The court threw out one Blake vote,
on account of double marking, and thl s gives the office to Baker. Baker 425,
Blake 423, is the judicial count.
Registrar of Conveyances Merrlam is
preparing a bill which will be present
ed to the Legislature which is some
thing that has been long needed in
this Territory. It relates to the ack
nowledgments taken to instruments.
At a conference of the Registrars from
tho different states ot the Union held
some" tlne ago, a form of acknowl
edgment was decided on which was
found satisfactory by all and which
has since been adopted officially in
very many of the states. Mr. Mer
rlam proposes that this Territory
shall also adopt this form, which will
save a great deal ot trouble If done.
Under the present law a great many
of the forms of acknowledgment which
are used in other stntes are not accept
ed here. For instance, If a deed Is
sent to this Territory with the reg
ular form of acknowledgment which
Is used In California, trouble Imme
diately ensues, for It will not hold wa
ter here, where a separato examination
of both husband and wife is required.
If the uniform acknowledgment 3s
adopted a great deal of tills trouble will
be absolutely removed.

In the fight for auditor of the County
ot Kauai, stood at a tie between
Charles Blake and George Baker. At
the adjournment last night Blake had
gained live votes, which put him In
the lead by one. This was cut down
by the rejection of ballots and changes
In count which took place this morning.
When the court opened Us session
this morning Chief Justice Hartwell
delivered an opinion, which was con
curred In by tho other members ot
tho Court, that all ballots in tho county
should be examined, both those whiqh
then counted according to the decision
on their legality.
The count of votes which took place
this morning brought the following
results. In the second precinct Ba
ker lost one vote and in tho seventh
two votes. '1 his placed him four be
hind. In the tenth precinct, however,
three votes were discovered In the
bunch of ballots which the inspectors
had failed to count for Baker. In the
seventh precinct one vote cast for
Blake was thrown out by the court,
thus leaving the contest a tie. Tho
session will be resumed at 2 o'clock
this afternoon.

J. Oswald Lutted's bakery, candy
store and restaurant was entered last
Saturday night and again Monday
morning.
Lutted Is much exercised over the
fact and Is not referring to the police
system In any too complimentary
terms.
Some months ago his suburban resi
dence was entered while he and his
family were nbsent and valuable jewels
were stolen.
Lutted Is wondering If the robbery ot
gems and heirlooms from his home
some time ago has any connection with
the Saturday night and Monday morn
ing entries into Ills candy store.
cd Monday morning and more money,
though It amounted to little, was made
away with. Several minor articles woro
stolen. '
Lutted says ho communicated with
the police, but he feels that thero is
little chance of recovering what he has
lost or of apprehending tho culprit, In
asmuch as there appears to bo an un
interrupted epidemic of sucu burglaries.
It is known that Lutted sent for

One of tho theories advanced by
those investigating the numerous cases
Is that some ex-pollccman who is
thoroughly acquainted with tho town
nnd with the ways of criminals,
through his police experience, is going
about those things with a view to dis
crediting the presont police adminis
tration, but tho idea seems rather far
fotched.
Another theory Is that there Is a

that tho father and young Bona are
