JUDGMENT FOR THE SKIP
Determined Efforts f th Men to
Escape the Voyage Around the
Horn-U. S. Consul Here.
In a recent hearing- at New York of
the case of Thomas Graves, Christian
Bauer, James Bradley and Peter Don-
" nelley against the ship "W. F. Bab
cock" before the Uni,ted states Circuit
Court of Appeals, for the Second Cir-
T.1 m
CULL. JU nman VPnl prdil on
. .
opinion reversing the decree of the
nistnW r.nnrt nnri ramar.nn
to tnat Court to be proceeded with
as follows: to enter a decree dismiss
ing the libel so far as it relates to Don-
nllrpv nrav .mi ..uv,
- - " vuw
of both courts and .to enter a decree
in favor of Christian Bauer for $67.62
and interest from June 29, 1S98, with
his costs in both Courts.
The libellants, Graves et al. joined
the ship "W. F. Babcock" at San Fran
cisco on January 4, 1S96, and, having
signed regular shipping articles as
sailers, sailed upon a voyage .to Hono
lulu and thence to New York. The
libellants reached Honolulu in debt to
the ship and subsequently deserted in
that port. They were arrested and de-
tained in the station house until the
vessel was ready to sail, when they
were taken on board by the police.
Their previous debts to the ship and
the expenses incurred by the captain
for their arrest and ithe vases of
laborers in their place and for the
wilful breakage of a shop window by
three of them, exceeded the amount of
their wages, and the owners of the ves
sel refuse payment except in the case
of Bauer, tto whom it was admitted
that $7.G3 was due. The libellants filed
a libel against the ship to recover the
entire amount of their monthly wages,
less the'advancements made before the
arrival at Honolulu. The testimony
of the United States Consul-General
at Honolulu showed that the men in
tentionally deserted and that at least
two of them intended to desert before
arriving in the port and, that the
charges made by them of ill usage
were untoun-ded. lhe United btates
Revised Statutes bearing upon the ar-
rest and detention of seamen in cases
of desertion and the Consul's action
relating thereto are liberally quoted.
The Opinion states: "In consequence
of their (Graves, Donnelley and Brad
ley) persistent refusal to return to
duty on board the ship and their
threats of violence, there is no room
to contend that the proper charges for
thejr arrest and detention, the wages
of their substitutes and the amount
which was necessarily paid by the
ship to the authorities as a penalty
for the wilful ?n(l malicious 'breakage
of a shop window should not
be deducted from their wages."
These men when here gave to their
ship, the United States Consul-General
and the police no end of trouble. They
were determined to escape the trip
around the Horn if possible. Their
final lawless act was to deleberately
break windows while being taken in
care of police from the station to the
water front.
In commenting on this case tae New
I York Maritime Journal says:
"There can be no doubt about the
justness of this opinion of Judge Ship-
man. In this connection it may be
stated that it is claimed that actions
based on grounds equally untenable
as the foregoing are freqeuntly begun

board vessels on their arrival in port
for the purpose of ferreting out sup
posed or imagined grievances of sailors
which are put into the hands of its
lawyers to prosecute ostensibly in the
interest of the sailor, but in reality
for its own profit and advantage with
the result that our ship owners are
caused a very great deal of annoyance
and expense thereby. Whether this
be true or not, it would be well for this
jorganizauon to accept witn tne grtaiesi.
'cauticn the statements by sai'.ors of
ill usage aboard of ship, if it would
j avoid laying itself open to adverse
criticism.
Kalir 'Mirt.
A term of Circuit Court will be open
ed this week at Kailua. Hawaii. Judge
J. V. Kalua will preside in place of
Judge E. G. Hitchcock, who is still
quite ill at Hilo. The docket is not a
heavy one. The Kailua district has
been remarkably free from the opera
tions of desperate criminals. E. I.
Dole, the Deputy Attorney General,
will leave by the steamer Mauna Loa
tomorrow, to represent the Govern
ment during the term. Several Hono
lulu attorneys will make the trip to
look afer the interests of clients.
Tennis Tournament.
There is no doubt now that the
tennis tournament will be postponed
until the first week in June, as the de
legates to the association from the
Beretania, Valley and Pacific clubs,
are all agreed on this point. The
players of these three clubs have suf
fered alike in the matter of practice,
from the recent bad weather, which
extended over a month. May would
be altogther too soon for the tourna
ment. The P. T. C. players have al
ready instructed their delegates to ask
for postponement until June.
Mr. Buck Hurt.
Superintendent Buck of the Govern
ment Electric Light Station, was quite
badly injured at about 4:30 o'clock yes
terday afternoon. He went into the
stables to brush his horse, when one
of the animals turned suddenly and
made a kick at him. The cap of one
knee is very badly hurt, while the oth
er leg is severely bruised, just above
the knee.
BLANCHE BATES.
Is Now With the Leading Com
pany of New York.
Blanche Bates, who has already won
so many laurels as the charming lead
ing lady of the Frawley Company, will
be seen on the boards with that organ
ization no more.
An announcement has been received
in San Francisco by Miss Bates' moth
er, Mrs. F. M. Bates, that Blanche had
signed with Mr. Daly. She will join
Mr. Daly's company in New York and
will make her first appearance there.
It is stated that Miss Bates will plaj'
second to Ada Rehan, and on certain
occasions will fill the role of that well
known actress. This in itself is a state
ment of great importance regarding
one whose talents were first recogniz
ed on the Pacific coast.
Miss Bates was born in Oregon, but
was brought to San Francisco when so
young that she really looks upon that
place as her home, and always has a
tender spot in her heart for everything
Californian. She is well pleased with
her new opening, as she has always
been a great admirer of Miss Rehan.
As Mr. Daly does not intend sending
any companies out tnis year, miss
Bates will no be seen in San Francisco
for some time.
Manager Frawley is now in New
York, where he wnll engage a new lead-
ng lady to fill the place left vacant by
Miss Bates.
The many Honolulu admirers of Misa
Bates will be greatly pleased to learn
of her signal advancement.
The Sake Trade.
There is a disposition on the part of
a number of public men, several of
whom have a direct influence upon leg
islation, to reduce the duty on sake, the
Japanese wine. A tax known to be al
most at t?ie prohibitive mark, was
placed upon it by the last Legislature
as a favor to California and CalTfor
nia wine. The act was vetoed by
President Dole, but passed over his ob
jections. Now it is being discussed
with a view to revision. The fact is
that the trade and the revenues have
bo;h been materially reaucea o xne
"discriminating" legislation and that
the Japanese have done no end of
grumbling, that in many quarters ha3
been endorsed as being fully justified.
The act will be up in a few days.
LATEST PARISIAN STYLES.
Any Lady wishing a Stylish Hat or
Bonnet for Easter will do well to call
at L. B. Kerr's, Queen Street, where all
the latest novelties have been imported
direct from Paris, and the prices are
only cne-half that charged elsewhere.
Jas. Boyd, acting in place of Wray
Taylor, has sent to Maui a'.l the neces
sary tickets, blanks and documents for
the special election for Senator to be
held on the 14th inst. There is no
opposition to Judge A. N. Kepoikai,
the convention nominee.
AN
INDUSTRY"
le cf Kaiaiahao
School Talks of tlie Situation.
WHAT PROSPECT FOR GIRLS?
Hawalians Feel the Competition
of Other Labor-Education
and "Wants."
MR. EDITOR: In this
Advertiser on the editorial page is an
article under above headlines in which
you refer to a New York industry
which, you would have transplanted to
these Islands, using the mountain tops
for "goat culture" and intimating a
source for the profitable employment
of graduates from Kamehameha and
Kawaiahao schools in the manufacture I
of gloves from the skins of such goats.
I do not, in common with some of the
natives find a connection between this
proposed industry and the report that
they are to be driven to the mountains
when annexation comes, but I do find
in it, an occasion to make some oppor
tunestatements as to the present con
dition of many graduates of Hawaiian
girls' schools. Some days ago in writ
ing on "A good class of Portuguese,"
you said: "This class must share
homesi that is, own land in fee simple
and they must be able to obtain a de
cent living from it:" and aerain.
w
"We compel their children to attend
school and get knowledge." "Knowl
edge breeds wants and plenty of them."
I have merely quoted this, because if
applicable to an alien friendly element
settling in our midst how much more
so to the native Hawalians. From the
earliest dajs of the advent of mission
aries in these Islands our nation has
been tutored in the ways of civiliza
tion. Our wants begotten of knowl-
adge, as your truly state became many
and our opportunities to satisfy them
seemed to diminish in proportion as
the wants increased. You will pardon
mo for saying that our present condi
tion is largely due to the fact that the
offspring of our earlier tutors, forget
ful of the God of their fathers found
comfort in worshipping mammon.
In the first flusu. of their endeavors
while still the influence of their
fathers was with them they employed
our fathers and brothers in the conduct
of their enterprises, our women went
into the fields to strip the cane, did
washing, and sewing, incidental to the
requirements of the times, and indus
try seemed the watchword on all sides;
but as one by one the monitors of our
earlier days went to their last 'long
rest, it seemed as though an estrange
ment were coming upon the foreign
element in our midst. In their eager
ness to curry the favor of their new
found master and forgetful of the duty
they owed to the natives among whom
they had been prospered they sought
in every clime to find the cheapest
element to perform the labors thereto
fore done by our own people.
The natives in their simple confiding
way looked on and even encouraged
the work of these people because frcm
the very nature of things, it must be
right being in large measure the work
of the children of those who had sacri
ficed so much for us in the past- But
lo! what an awakening these years of
toiling for the necessaries of life have
brought to our people and mere parti
cularly to our women in their en
deavors to keep themselves respected
while laboring to satisfy their wants.
As a seamstress in this community I
have laid aside my usual lamp light
vigil over the sewing machine to give
vent to my long pent up thoughts and
feelings. It has seemed to me since
reading "An Industry" this morning
that I should say something for the
girls of Kawaiahao and Kamehameha
schools as a scholar in the former
school with our lamented "Princess
Likelike" as a class-mate, I was taught
among other things, the art of needle
work by which I am now endeavoring
to make a livelihood. I was also taught
many things that gave me new ideas
of life ideas that created "wants" as
you call them faster than they could be j
satisfied and when after my years ot j
education and sojourning among those i
who seemed to have the means to satis- !
fy their every want; when after this
I was set adrift to make a living by
the means at my command how cruel
it seemed to me to find almost every
avenue fcr honest employment filled
by an alien e'ement whose coming has
been at the bidding of those who from
selfish motives were seeking only per
sonal gain and from like selfish mo
tives allowed their hirelings to flood j
the rest of the country, taking away
our opportunities one after another un
til now I ask you what is to become of
the girls of today? With the education
they are being given, the "wants" that
they feel, and the constantly dwindling
opportunities to satisfy .those wants.
Your people took from us our Gov
ernment five years ago, under a plea
that our Queen was hostile to the best
interests of the country justifying:
the expectation on our part that after
such representations we should have a
more conservative Government of the
country one that by creating condi
tions under which a white man could
prosper, would also be the means of
uplifting our own people inasmuch as
they were educated on similar linos
how rudely such hopes have been dash
ed to pieces, needs no repetition from
me the constantly increasing novertv
among the natives tells Its own story.
Your Government seeks to coerce our
men into its support by means of oaths
and the like it could long ago havo
had the loyal support cf every thought
fut man and woman of the race, had
it shown itself regardful in the slight
est degree of our interests and welfare
and it might even command our res
pect if it had been faithful -to its own
supporters, but how can you blame the
large number of natives who still hold
aloof and whom you term Royalists
when the Government of your creating
is so weak in the presence of the Al
mighty Dollar. Talk about a moun
tain goat ranch as creating a possible
industry for our girls, why, with the
present outlook they would starve be
fore this could become a reality even
though it were a possibility.

Foreign ' 'on.-e Trade
In speaking yesterday of his $5,000
item in the appropriation bill for the
use of the coffeo industry, Minister Da
mon said his idea was to use the sum
in presenting Hawaiian coffee to the
markets abroad. The Minister further
remarked that in his judgment none of
the fund should be used without the
full approval of an Island organization
of coffee factors and planters. Mr. Da
mon is very much in earnest in this
matter, feeling that the future of the
young Industry depends very largely
upon its proper introduction to the
trade abroad.
