Close in shore where tho dredger has been at work the harbor now has a depth of 26 feet and this Is being extended along shore very fast.

The piles are left standing untll the dredger takes nwlay their bjelow when they are easily removed.

Muul planta tions are grinding steadily on and the sugar Is accumulating on their hTuids at an alarming rate. If more sugar bottoms cannot bo had soon It will be a question with some of tho plantations where to store their sugar. At tho Kaanapalt landing tho Pioneer Mill Co. has very close on to 160,000 bags of sugar stored, or about 10,000 tons, and every day It keeps piling up, with none being shipped away. Tho ship Fort George Is there, but she will not bo ready for sugar for three weeks nnd then will only take 1100 tons, go ing around to Kahului to finish her cargo of 3000 tons.

At Kahului and In the warehouses connected with It there Is on hand at present 138,000 bags or about 9,000 tons. This too despite tho regular trips of tho big steamers for San Francisco and New York, with now and then a sail ing vessel. Tho S. S. Nevadan will clear for San Francisco this afternoon with a full load of sugar.

The Nevadan Is re fusing all freight for San Francisco other than sugar. People wishing to ship fruit up to friends in the city havo -been greatly disappointed by the above, Other vessels In Kahului aro tho British ship Kinross and tho American schooners S. T. Alexandor and F. Slade.

Wall, Nichols Ltd. FLIGHT OF LIARS' (From The Oakland Enquirer). SAN FRANOISOO, May 7. One beneficial result of the recent earthquake has been the oxodua of San Francisco's colony of liars. With tho fenr of God In' their hearts these disciples of Ananias crowded tho first ferry boats departing from the foot of Market street on that memorable 18th of April and how they are scattered to tho four winds of heaven.

The trails they followed have been blazed with atrocious prevarications nnd exaggerations, and It Is not to be wondered at that for several days after the catastrophe tho people of tho East believed that San Francisco's great populace had found its tomb In tho ruins of tho destroyed city. First prizo In the liars' division probably will be awarded to Sydnoy P. 'Harris, heralded In a Los Angeles dispatch as a noted composer of music, who was In the forefront of the Sun Francisco refugees that reached tho angel city. Here Is his account of the cataclysm ns published In the Cincinnati Enquirer: "It was terrible," said Mr. Harris.

"I could not do anything but look on with wonder and fear and tremble, as did tho rest of the terror-stricken inhabitants. The people woro driven around the streets by soldiers as If tney wero wild beasts Instead of human bolngs. I say were, because there are not many of them left. I saw people die from hunger and from the terrible dread. I saw many dlo from agonies of suspense.

There was no way of quieting tho ravenous unfortunates and they cry like babies for food. I was frightened ns much as they. Every one was In the same condition, in fear of his lifo. Sometimes it was Impossible to got across the hugo fissures that tho earth quake had forged In tho streets. We upon.

Some of tho breaks in tho pave and the bottoms are Invisible." i. The foregoing is only a sample of some of tho lurid tales with which the fleeing colony regaled outsiders. John A. Floyd, a Pullman car conductor, who got out of the State on tho first train to leave tho Oakland mole on the morning of tho quake, exhausted himself In supplying Chicago reporters with mls-informatlon. According to Floyd, ho put In several hours after the temblor In traveling from hotel to hotel, watching them collapse In orderly rotation, burying their Inmates in the ruins.

The scenes of carnage that ho witnessed would havo appalled a less courageous man, and even he was at last forced to turn from the sickening spectacle and attend to his own safety. The earthquake had left of tho ferry building only enough to permit of his egress to the boat, and while ho was crossing tho bay he saw the remnant of the great structure topple Into tho water. A man named Anthony, who escaped from San Francisco In an automobile and was Interviewed In every city between hero and Los Angeles, had great difficulty In making his way out, owing to tho heaps of dead stacked up like cordwood on the streets. Another member- of 'the departing colony regaled newspaper men along tho line of his flight with an account of tho throwing overboard from a ferry-boat of ono thousand, women and children because In the crush to escape the vessel had been overcrowded and was In danger of (inking. Column.

nf tor column of such tales as these was published In tho Eastern press while the battle with the flames was being waged In the stricken city. As a matter of fact, one of tlik bright features otthe black days following the earthquake was the calm spirit in which tho people of San Francisco accoptod tho terrible visitation, Porhaps it was tho courage of despair or of resignation, but it was sublime. There was no weeping and no hysterics; on tho contrary, nn attempt at cherfulncss was manifested everywhere, and this snlrlt win nnUil with nstonlsh- ment by press correspondents and tho flames wero yet uncontrolled.

Under the law tho governor is the person to sign the death warrant, fixing the date of execution, and tho papers havo been prepared in the Johnson case, but the transcript has not been written up. Johnson's trial lasted four weeks and It will take two or three months to have a transcript written up.

Unless there Is an appeal tho testimony Is usually not transcribed at all, and no transcript has been ordered In this case. It was supposed that the gov ernor would tako action on tho records of the case, showing a regular trial and conviction, but a question has been raised as to whether this la proper. Trio question was raised, It is stat ed In tho Ko.ean cases. It was claimed that the acting govornor had tip right to accept tho documentary ovl denco from tho cou.ts that a regular trial and conviction had taken -place, but that ho must personally review all tho ovldenco beforo signing a death warrant. If this view la adopted as tno correct ono, Johnson's execution will not tako placo for three months or moro.

IM.m,,, The Social Science club is to hold a second this ovenlng to discuss tho Korean murder cases, and to pass a resolution asking tho acting governor to commute the sentenco of two fthe murderers. The report of tho special committee on the subject has been prepared nnd It Is to be the basis of tho resolution in question.

According to report, It makes a showing from the transcript of evidence In favor of tho two murderers whom It pleads for, and It follows the good old custom of roasting Chester Doyle, who secured much of the evidence In all the cases.

There seems to bo a unanimous opi nion among tho various plantation managers now In town that tho flvo Koreans now under death sentence for brutally torturing and killing ono of tholr fellow countrymen a short time ago on tho Kukalau Plantation on Ha waii, should be hanged. Not ono of tho manngers seemed to think that the sentenco should be commuted nnd many expressed tho thought that hanging was too good for such brutes.

There did not seem to bo any fear on the part of tho planters that the hanging of the Koreans would stop other Koreans from coming here as laborers. Something must be dono to let tho peoplo of that race know who was In control hero and the hanging of these men would effectively do It. Hanging them would not make any difference In tho opinion of tho manngers but not hanging them would, for ECONOMY IN THE END.
