MR. RAY IS BACK
What He Saw at Hi. Sprectels
ville and Other Plantations.
GOES HOME III TWO WEEKS
Labor Conditions as Ascertained fcy
'The Pofit Sharing System
Benlng Extended.
Him
D. A. Ray, who is here on a special
mission to investigate the labor condi
tions of the Islands, returned yesterday
morning from a visit to Hawaii and
Maui. During his trip he visited a
number of the plantations and- comes
back well satisfied with what he saw.
"I remained on Hawaii only two
days this time," said Mr. Ray last
night. "I was the, guest of Manager
Scott of the 'Hilo Sugar Co. and also
gathered some data regarding other
plantations. Mr. Scott has had no
trouble with labor and the plantation
is doing well. He has introduced a
sort of profit-sharing system among
the Japanese and it has met with suc
cess. The same plan has been used by
Manager Lowrie of Spreckelsville. The
laborers seem to work better when they
feel that to a great extent they are
working for themselves.
xiie men cue st.iU5 w
in general are perfectly contented. In
iii0tana a. luua, iuaCo
mosity or a gang ana tney do not rest
until he is either discharged or trans-
ferred. In most cases these causes for
dislike are trivial, the cruelty such as
has been detailed by agitators in the
San Francisco Examiner beine: " un- ;
i known. j
j "Spreckelsville is a wonderful place. '
They are making improvements there
now, the cost of which will aggregate
in the millions. For a new pumping- !
plant which is shortly to be installed
they have made excavations sixty feet
deep and one hundred feet square.
That's a good-sized hole. But the won-
derful thing about it was that after the
first twenty feet was thrown out, the
.'remainder had to be blasted out of al-
most solid rock. When they complete
all their irrigating arrangements it
seems that there will be no limit to the
capacity. I rode all over the plantation
and was never more impressed with
anything in my life.
The adjoining plantations, Wailuku,
Haiku and Paia, are all prosperous. Ki
hei is a mass of dust owing to the
plowing, which is now going on there
They are making rapid progress on
this plantation, Manager Pogue being
a rustler. .
"A small party of us made the ascent
of Haleakala. We reached the crest in
time to see the sunrise, and before the
giant crater was enveloped in clouds.
The spectacle is one of unequalled mag
nificence and grandeur, whose won
ders words cannot describe." .
Mr. Ray will remain here about two
weeks longer. He has been on every
one of the Islands and has acquired a
vast amount of general information.
"Yes," he said, in answer to a ques
tion, "I shall report to Senator Cullom
after my arrival in Washington. Of
course I shall not make any recommen
dations, but if they desire my opinion
it will be given."
New Olaa Reservation.
E. D. Baldwin returned from Hono
lulu by the 2ast Kinau. He states that
the department of public lands has re
ceived no notification from Washing-
to sta' the sale of the olaa lands
advertised for September 2; nor do
they expect an v. If nothing unforeseen

vertised, and purchasers will be put
in possession of the lands. It is ex
pected that the squatters will get off
of their own accord, but if they do not
the Attorney General will take the
matter into his hands and they will
be ejected snmmarily.Hilo Tribune.
Broke the Record
A certain well-known official, the
terror of wrong-doers, claims the boat
ing record from town to Waikiki. With
a small party he started out at 9 a. m.
on a race against time. Many hours
passed. The record-breaker was final
ly sighted off Wright's Villa at 3 p. m.
To show that the wonderful run had
not used him up, he upset the boat,
giving himself and his party a prema
ture bath. He rode home in the street
car, preferring a ride behind antiquated
mules to another record run home.
From Ed Towse.
Commissioner Ed. Towse writes that
he has been visiting old friends in
Cheyenne, Wyoming, and having a
very good time, although the weather
.was cold. He expected to leave for
Omaha about August 12, via Denver.
At the Orpheiim.
In spite of counter-attractions
standing room at the Orpheum was at
a premium on Saturday evening. To
night there will be an entire change
of program, in which all the old fav
orites will appear.
MANAGER M'STOCIIER
Was Not the Man Who Raised
Wages of Free Laborers.
If a Japanese, having taken a con
tract to clear land for the Olaa Sugar
Company, finds himself short of labor
ers and in order to secure a supply of
fers much higher wages than has been
paid in several years, should the man
ager of the plantation be held respon
sible? It was not Mr. McStocker who
raised the price of free laborers on the
plantation which he manages; he fo-
lnwpfi thA rmirsp laid out bv other man-
Lj?frs and has had absolutely nothing
. , notices Dosted in camps
offering $22.50 per month for Japanese
jaborers Responsibility for that rests
. vUh h lanantk9l wVlo v-t-i. mn-
tracts to clear the land and who have
given security for the faithful fulfilling
of their part of the contract. In the
line of clearing lands Manager Mc
Stocker has done wrell. In one instance
he has about entered into a contract
for clearing timber lands at a price
far below what is now being paid fori
clearing lands of the same character
on another and dividend-paying plan
tation. Criticism in respect to expen
sive clearing of lands in Olaa is rather
unjust when it is considered the cor-
!rect thing for otner managers to pay a
higher price for the same work. Due
attention was given by the Olaa Sugar
Comnanv tn th matter f ihnr if
'must be remembered that no consider-
able number of Japanese have arrived
here since the plantation started. The
j Herald would like to know if the
'stockholders in the Olaa Sugar Com-
nany would have consented to nav the
Waees of 500 laborers while the com-
pany was in process of formation.

YACHTS GETTING READY.
Bonnie Dundee Will Not Have a

A number of the yachts were out 'yes

things in readiness for the September
regatta.
The Abbie M. went down to Pearl
Harbor on Saturday, taking an extra
crew to brine the Marion back. In re-
turn for this kindness the Marion,

own way in these waters. While it is
conceded she has the best of all the

the Gladys. This pretty little vessel
with Messrs. Mott-Smith (2), Hobron
and Lightfoot on board is said to have
made the distance from Makapuu point
in two hours.

A JUDGE WANTED
To Relieve Vast Increase or Wori
in Circuit Courts.
WHEELS OF JUSTICE ARE CLOGGED
Work of the First District Is More Than
Two Judges Can
Dispose Of.
fcay, why don't you call attention
to the crvine: need of a third lnricr in
this court?" said a prominent attorney
to an Advertiser man in search of his
usual court reports a day or two since.
"What is the trouble?"
"Here it is in a nutshell: This term
of court is supposed to last just four
weeks. It has been running two weeks
and we have just got through with the
Hawaiian jury cases. Even if Judge
Stanley exercises the extra powers

continues the term for two weeks more
there only remains at the most a

in which the finish up the calendar,
and, by the way, one of these is a holi
day. "Let me show you how the calendar
stands. There are twenty-six crimi
nal cases for the foreign jury on the
.printed list. Some of these have been
cnsposea or, but others have been add
ed. Some of those cases will take a
couple of days to try. . In my opinion
the court will have all it can do to tret
through the criminal cases before the
end of the term." .
"What then?" was asked.
"That's just it. Why, the civil cases
will have to eo over to the next term.

delays and of course blame it on
lawyers. My clients do the same. There, "enri aioei "asui OI ranee at wis

"Can't some of the cases be assigned
to Judge Perry?" queried the reporter.
No, they can't. Judge Perry hasthe PPPinS of corks the health of the
got all he can do and more too. That
Waialua case will take him a couple of
months to try alone, if I know anything
about it. It is an important case and
so many people are interested in it and
so much money Is tied un by it that it
is of great public interest that the case
should be decided as soon as possible)
In addition to hearing the evidence,
the Judge has got to read and digest
all the testimony after the reporter has
copied it out, before he can render his
decision. Then again, he has to take
all the probate business while Judge
Stanley is attending to the regular
term. And let me tell you that the
probate business of this district alone
is enough for one judge to attend to.
"Now there are twenty-one mixed
jury civil cases, twenty-four foreign
jury cases and thirty jury waived
icases' let alone divorce and separation
suits' on the calendar of the present
term- Can 'ou or any other man
j imagine for a moment how one judge
can attend to them all, I don't care how
industrious he may be? And the busi
ness of the court is constantly increas
ing. At the November term things will
be worse than they are now, and the
business of the court will become so
clogged that none of us will know
where we are at. I am suffering pecu
niary loss from the present delay and
so are my clients, but I get blamed
all the same because my clients don't
realize the situation.
"It was proposed to have the last
Legislature authorize the appointment
of a third judge, but the measure was
defeated through the opposition of the

has got to be done and that quickly."
