tion and raised such a commotion at

pelled to take her In charge and place
her n Jail.

tition In the circuit court asking that
her parole be withdrawn and that she
be Immediately turned over to the
penitentiary to serve he sentence of
seven years.' When thus confronted
she hesitated, but when the prosecut
ing attorney told her It was her move,
h "-m through'' with the story to
the effect that she gave Frank' Bart
mess 11.(0 to buy her a bottle of
whisky and place It In her valise,
which he did. , Josle Palmer then
made affidavit to the above facts' and
was made the complaining ' witness
against Bartmess and he was arrested
and placed In jail yesterday. The dis
trict attorney had Bartmess brought
before him and told hfm that he had
sufficient evidence to convict him, but
that he wanted to know where he got
the liquor. His Idea was to capture
the man who was really dealing in the
traffic, Mr. Bartmess, for the time
being, had a faulty memory. He de
nied that he purchased, the liquor or
knew anything about It The district
attorney, while holding out no prom
ise of leniency whatsoever, Informed
him that he had,; sufficient evidence
to convict htm, and that If he did not
make a clean breast.' of It, he would
Insist, and do all In his power to have
the court Impose the highest possible
sentence.
He told Bartmess to think It over
until morning. He evidently did con
siderable thinking during the night,
for early this morning he called for
th district attorney'and made a clean
breast of the entire transaction, con
firming what Josle Palmer had sworn
to, and he then swore out a complaint
against David McFarlane, the man
who furnished him the liquor. At t
o'clock the officers armed with a war

search the premises where Bartmess

ARMADA GREETED

Honolulu, July 1. Looking out
this morning over the streets and
buildings of Honolulu, the spectator
is prone to wonder whethet there are
any flags or bunting left In tho Unit
ed States. ' Certainly the supply of
such emblems of " patriotism must
have visibly decreased on the conti
nent, for this city is today veritably
wrapped and swathed and almost
hidden beneath a waving sea of Stars
and 8Lrlpes. Assuredly, this is to be
a great day in Honolulu the day that
Is to mark the arrival and glorious re
ception of the Atlantic fleet
- Not since the dusky and adipose
queen of the Paradise of the Pacific
stepped down from her throne and re
signed her crown and scepter, and
Uncle Sam, Rex, ruled in her stead,
hair there been such an outburst of
truly American patriotism. It is not
alone the Americans who are on the
tiptoe of excitement straining their
eyes seaward to where the monster
battleships will soon appear above the
horlson. The native Hawalians are
quite as much excited, and even the
swarming thousands of Japanese
that horde of little brown men
which, say the' alarmists. Will some
day arise In Its might and replace
the star-spangled banner with the
blazing ensign of the mikado even
these have caught the Infection and
have become for the moment, at least,
patriotic Americans.
When the battleship fleet arrives In
the crescent-shaped harbor today, It
will have traversed a distance of 209S
miles since leaving San Francisco nine
days ago. The floating fortresses will
remain here until next Thursday be
fore resuming the voyage, with Auck
land, New Zealand, as the next stop
ping place. During the week In Hon
olulu there wll-be-seores of enter
tainments Jot both officers and sail
ors, and If Commander In Chief Sper
ry and the other rear admirals of the
fleet do not die of Indigestion, It will
not be the fault of the entertainment
committee.
As the vessels steam through the
narrow but deep channel which gives
entrance through the coral reef to the
harbor which Is known as "the cross
roads of the Pacific," the enthusiasm
or me people, already boiling over,
will pass all bounds. Practically all
of Honolulu's 40,000 population will
be on hand to give a welcome, and
will be augmented by thousands of
others from every part of the Island
of Oahu. It will be a cosmopolitan
crowd on the pier to greet th "Jack-!
les," shouting "Aloha" (love to you)
In the musical tongue of the Kanakas.
There will be wreath of flower for
i throwing over th head of the Amer
ican as they step on th pier. It will
be an offering of a music and flower
loving people, ' In the crowd will be
the full-bodied and plump-faced na
tives, Americans, Chinese, Japanese
and Portuguese and mixtures of near
ly all of these races.
One of th place to which many of
the sailor will undoubtedly go wjll
be Walkikl beach, which I reached
by trolley. It Is In front of this
beach that the Hawalians Indulge In
jthe exciting sport of surf riding.
Ther are, perhaps, no people on earth
more nearly amphibious than ths Ha
walians. H.iirf riding msy be called
th national sport of th native of
the Sandwich Islands.
Another of th pleasure of th na-
tlve Hawalians which has survived is
the hula-hula dance. This posturing
dance is not on the official program,
as Its modern form is not entirely
like Its primitive practice. That there
will be opportunities to see. It Is evi
dent however, as the two principal
purveyors of this form of entertain
ment have been making preparations.
They have endeavored to monopolise
all the dancers on the Island by en
gaging them far in advance for the
week of the fleet's visit, ...
Twelve vessels anchored In Pearl
harbor today. ; They were welcomed
with fireworks and cheers from the
tremendous, throng. After th offi
cers of the various ships had, reported
to Admiral Sperry, the- latter went
ashore and made an official call on
Governor Frear.
