This statement can be made authorita tively and effectually settles the much agitated question as to whom Thayer actually represents in the far East. Jt has been repeatedly denied by B. F. Dillingham and others now here con nected with the Dillingham company that Thayer's statement that he repre sents Dillingham Co. is correct. This denial is correct, for Thayer does not represent the company but only an in dividual member of it, and that with out the knowledge of the head of the company. He was sent to the Philip pines to look into the possibilities of investment in cane land because Wal ter Dillingham was persuaded that our Eastern possessions offer a fair field for making money. It is also understood that when Thayer left Honolulu, he took with If II' .li . TMI l I .

Frank F. Robards, United States Marine Corps, of the Marine Barracks, has advanced a theory as to the reason why the beaches in front of the M o.'i n a and Seaside Hotels are dis appearing through erosion, and has practically given a solution to the prob lem of saying the beaches. At the meeting of the promotion committee yesterday afternoon Captain Robards presented his views on the sub. ject in a clear and concise way and won the approval of the committee, lie made rough drawings showing the contour of Waikiki Hay, with the line of reefs opposite the hotels and the channel farther over toward the Dia mond Head side. He showed how a current sets in through the channel, strikes along the beach from the Liliuo kalani and other nearby estates, arid then sweeps down past the Moana and Seaside Hotels, parrying the loosened sand along toward Kakaako. He showed how, :it high tide, the waves beat in upon, the bea.-h, and with a curling motion swept sand from the shore into the water, where the sand was kept in suspension until the tide began to go out, when it either dropped to the bottom or was carried by the current westward. Jt was Captain Robards' opinion that although the contour of the beach Ifad been ages and ages in the making, yet, aided by outside material influences, the time had probably just arrived in this natural creation, for it change, anil the current was doing the damage. As to his current theory, he stated that he had tested this thoroughly and found that objects thrown into the water oil' Waikiki were carried one hundred yards in twenty minutes, the objects always setting toward the west. This was a rapid current and sand would easily be carried along. His suggestion for preventing fur ther damage would be to board up the posts of the Moana pier with planking, so that the current, sweeping along from the Diamond Head side and strik ing the , lanked pier, would be thrown out toward the breakers, thus avoiding the beaches which are now being so deeply eroded and damaged. A. A. Young ea me before the meet ing and heard 'apt a in b'obnrds' sug gestions and they will jr., bally be act ed upon, along with other plans of the hotel company. Captain l.'-d.ards lives at Waikiki and is deeply interested in the prr-or-vat ion of he beaches. The committee had l.tfle addif i-nal business to consider, consisting mainly of matter connected with the Atlantic City bureau. letter front R. K. Honine was also read. Tips referred Largely to Mr. M, .nine's work in mak ing moving pictures and the expression of nn opin.on that work he i- doing, for the trade, should have the back ing and support of the committee. This was occasioned by the arrival of H. P.

PLEADS FOR LIFE; RECEIVES DEATH Native Shoots Down Woman, Who Clings to Him, Asking for Mercy. "We find the deceased came to her death through shock and hemorrhage, caused by being shot in the right thigh by a thirty-two-caliber revolver held in the hands of one Ben Kaluna."' This verdict of a coroner's jury, ren dered last night, marks the tragic end of an existence that had been bright and flourishing in the morning, and by it, the slayer of Julia Kololou was last night charged with murder. The shooting occurred yesterday morning about eight thirty, whew two police officers and the patrol were but a few yards away, eoming for a tvtim.iii they believed to have been already shot. A call came in to the police station from the Xnuanu dam, stating that there had been a shooting affair and that a woman had been injured. Ser geant Kahanamoku and Officer I'arrish at .once started for the scene, and had come to within a short distance of the reservoir camp when they heard three shots. They arrived on the hard gallop, just in time to see a young Hawaiian woman, barely twenty two years of age, expir ing on the lloor of a deserted house, her murderer gone. Chief MeDuthe was at once notiridl, but as he was in court engaged at the trying of a case, he could not leave, and sent his off brers out to investigate ;';t once. An hour later he himself went to the scene, ami after making an exam ination of the .remises where the shoot ing occurred, stationed his men up and down the valley with strict orders to search for the murderer. Uue man was stationed near the Country Club grounds to prevent any escape down Miliiia street to the other side of the city.

A GAY EVENING AT TIE BEACH Outrigger Club's Chowder and Carnival Draws Big Crowd. The Outrigger Club's carnival at the beach last night was a brilliant sue-, cess, as a spectacle and financially. The attendance was beyond expecta tions and th" weather was perfect. Honolulans accustomed to the brilliant night scenes of the beach enjoyed them over again, while visitors who had not before seen the illuminations of the Moana and Seaside, saw them with lighted surfhoats and the lit-up hau trees and were full of enthusiasm. The real crowd did not come until evening. In the afternoon there was quite a large gathering, and the chow der, served at the dinner hour, did not go begging by any means. But it was after dark that the assemblage began to bo large, and by eight o'clock the grounds of the Outrigger Club and M 0:1 nit and Seaside hotels were filled with people. To many the extent of the prepara tions and the Outrigger Club's growth were something of a surprise. Alexan der Hume Ford, who was the head and front of the carnival scneme, was many times congratulated in the warmest terms upon the success of the enter tainment. The only disappointment was the failure of the McKae company to appear on the improvised stage. The company had stayed over at M.aui, in stead of taking the Mauna Boa for Ho nolulu.

Secretary and Superintendent of American Refining Company So Declared. CRIME DISCOVERED IN 1907 Robbed Government by the Use of Short Weighing Scales for Imports. NEW YORK, dune 11. Charles R. Heike, secretary of the American Sugar Refining Company, and G. Y. Ger- bracht, formerly general superintendent of the same company, were yesterday found guilty of defrauding the govern ment through the use of fraudulent scales in the Brooklyn scale house, where foreign sugars were entered and checked up for customs purposes. Their trials began on May 17, the cases go ing to the jury bite yesterday after noon. Last night the verdict of guilty as charged was returned. The charges against the sugar trust officials were ba-ed on information given the government by Richard Parr, a governent employe in the Brooklyn scale house. Acting on his informa tion of crookedness, a raid was made by customs otlicials in November, lft07. The raid exposed the manner in which the government was being systematic ally robbed and a number of arrests were subsequently made. The com pany refunded an enormous sum to the government to cover the loss in cus toms revenue and. on the basis of this refund. Heike and the other oflicials pleaded immunity. Their plea went un heeded, however, and he and five other otlicials faced a judge and jury. One of the principal witnesses for the government was T. D. Hyatt, known among the weighers as "the square weigher," because he refused to take part in the frauds. His appear ance in the weighing house, it was stated in evidence, used to be an nounced by the ringing of a bell, the signal for hiding the fraudulent de vices by which the underweighing was accomplished. Springs In Scales? Hyatt described the raid on the scale houses by Government Agents Parr and Brezinski in November, 1907, and identified a piece of metal similar to a corset steel which Parr claimed to have found concealed within the scales. Hyatt, who was summoned to the docll- on the day of the raid, said the action of the spring, introduced through a hole in the scale stanchion, retarded the action of the scale and made it weigh less. Sixteen out of seventeen scales, Hyatt said, contained the holes described. Hyatt illustrated how the checker would press downward on the steel de vice, thus causing a loss of about eight notches, or sixteen pounds, when a draft of three hags of sugar was being weighed.
