TWO BIG CHEATS
Pair of Clever Rascals
Here On the Aorangi.
Had Swindled Colonial Capitalists.
Captured Several Thousand
Pounds-Had a Secret L'ght.
The two perpetrators of the greatest
swindle that has been inflicted on the
Colonials in many years were probably
passengers by the S. S. Aorahgi, the C.
and A. boat, that was here a few days
ago, with a lot of Klondikers and oth
ers. Ihese men, Lee and .Elliott, were
traced to the Aorangi by the Austra
lian detectives.
One of the men is an American and
the other an Englishman. They made
away with 4,000 sterling of the money
of Sydney capitalists. The story of the
affair is that after the two men had
settled themselves in rooms, they caus
ed it to be known that they had dis
covered a new process by which they
could revolutionize the lighting of (the
world. This startling proposal relied
for its accomplishment upon the use of 1
a beautifully simple and alluringly in
expensive chemical, assisted by the
consumption of amospheric gases. For
the production of the new and attractive
agent, the men placed in ithe two rooms
a gas engine, and also fixed up various
lights, and the place was then thrown
open to the inspection of anyone who
felt an interest in the matter. A num
ber of persons came, inspected, and de
parted filled with wonder and visions of
a vast and astounding possibility. Next
the two discoverers made the pathetic
but business-like announcement that
they were penniless men, adding their
willingness to share their discovery
and the glorious profits which appeared
visible, with anyone who would step
forward and assist in getting the won
derful invention patented all over the
wrorld. To do this it was calculated
that the formation of a syndicate with
a monetary backbone of 16,000 would
be necessary. So great was the faith
which rthe thing engendered, that the
preliminaries were soon arranged, and
the shares were rushed by the public.
.They are said to ihave been .set at 10
each in the first instance, and rapidly
rose till tbey exchanged (hands at as
high a figure as 75 per share.
Soon the exposure came. After Lee
and Elliott were out of the way with
the money, it wag learned they had
been secretly using common gasoline.
NEW STAMP ISSUE.
One Cent Green Adopted By In
ternational Postal Congress.
The latest issue of the one cent Am
erican postage stamp has been printed
in green, and they are now coming in
to use. The Postal Union Convention,
at its session in Washington last year;
passed a vote recommending all postal
administrations to lhave the stamps of
each country, of like denomination,
printed in uniform color, beginning
with the one cent, which was voted to
be in green. The advantage of this uni
formity will be that the color, as' well
as the figures of the stamp will enable
all buying, using or cancelling them to
distinguish them more readily, and
avoid mistakes that have heretofore
often been made. The postal union is
becoming, each year, more and more, a
great international cooperative system,
in which each member or country seeks
to aid not only its own business but
also the business of every other mem
ber of the union. The printing of the
Hawaiian one cent stamp in green ( now
printed in yellow) will be an improve
ment, as the shade of yellow used has
not been much, liked. This may neces
sitate a change in the next issue of the
10 cent green stamp.
Reorganization.
Marshal Brown and Capt. F. B. Mc
Stocker have about completed reorgani
zation of the Citizens' Guard here and
the Mounted Reserve. The C. G. com
panies have been divided up so that the
membership of each is under 50 instead
of from 100 to 125, as formerly. This is
considered by the head officials and by
the company or line officers, a great
improvement in the direction of per
fect efficiency. There are now two com
panies instead of one of the. Mounted
Reserve. The original company re
mains practically intact. The new com
pany has its membership Ewa of Nuu
anu stream.
In Open Court.
The American League's open meet
ing committee has arranged an attrac
tive program for this evening. The
principal questions to receive attention
will be the Income Tax Act now in the
House at the Executive Building, and
the general revenue license act that is
up in the Legislature for amendment.
Mr. Robertson will speak in favor of
the Income Tax and Mr. Loebenstein
will be against it. Addresses will be
made by other public men and well
known speakers.
PACIFIC TENNIS CLUB.
Regular Annual .Meeting and Elec
tion of Officers.
The regular annual meeting of the
Pacific Tennis Club was held in the
club house of that organization yester
day afternoon. Fourteen members of
the club were present, this being all
who are in the city at the present time.
Vice-president Adams, in the absence
of President Dillingham, called the
meeting to order.
The report of the president was read
by the vice-president and then came the
reports of the secretary and treasurer,
as well as that of the chairman of the
board of trustees and the superintend'
ent of the club. All these were accept
ed and filed.
The result of the election of officers to
serve during the ensuing year, was as
follows: G. R. Carter, president; S. G.
Wilder, vice-president, G. P. Wilder,
secretary and treasurer; C. Cooke, su
perintendent. The old board of trus
tees was reelected.
G. P. Wilder gave notice of his in
tention to introduce an amendment to
the Constitution, to the effect that the
offices of secretary and treasurer be in
the hands of two men. This matter
will come up in the next meeting.
The three, delegates to (the Tennis
Association were given instructions
that they should try to effect a post
ponement in the date of the beginning
of the tournament, from the' first week
in May to the first week in June. There
had been complaints on the part of var
ious of the tennis players of the city,
that they had been unable to practice
during the last two months, on account
of the inclement weather. June would
be much more satisfactory on all hands.
