MITTING IS STILL WANTED. 



Your letter dated November 22 and 

 ul<o ])ajj:es of Tlie Keview tellinfj of tlie 

 iiTcst of K. D. Roo Mittinfj are at hand 

 ,'ind I wish to thank you warmly for the 

 services given and the suecessful result 

 you have obtained in locatinn; this man. 



1 liave also received a letter from the 

 Nelson Nursery Co., with copies of tele- 

 trrains to them from the sheriff at Fort 

 .Morj^an, Colo., according: to which ]\lit- 

 tinj; admittei] having obtained $4,jO from 

 ,•1 ' ' Honolulu fiarty. ' ' 



Tlirough your letter I understand that 

 tlie Nelson Nursery Co. did not respond 

 (|niflcly to the telegraijis from the sheriff 

 ,nid that Mr. Mitting has been rele.-iscd 

 on .account of the delay in answerinij, 

 uhiidi necessitated the holding of tlic 

 crimiTial. If this is the case, I am sorry 

 tli.'it Charles Nelson did not answer riyht 

 away. ITad he only answered immedi- 

 ately, p('rh!i])s through Avireless, as re- 

 quested by the sheriff". I might have been 

 aide to get hold of Mitting there in J.-iil. 

 But T have turn(>d this matter over to 

 my attorney .and, ;is you re(|uested in 

 your letter, he is writing to the Post- 

 nffice department in Washinaton, D. C. 

 alleging that Mitting defrauded me 

 Tlirough mails. 



.■\nd at the same time T sh.all be even 

 more obliged if you can h(dp me by pub- 

 lishing again this matter in The T?evii'w. 

 .asking readers aTid polii(> authorities for 

 the arrest of Mitting and to hold this 

 defrauder until they get in touch with 

 ine here in Honolulu for further infornia 

 tion about my transaction. 



I am also writing a better to the 

 sheriff at Fort Morgan, Colo., re(|uesting 

 him to write you in case he should lo- 

 «rit(> Mitting. .\ny service in this mat- 

 ter will be d(>ejily appreci.ated.

The Market. 



Pri^es, in some" cases, were a- little 

 hotter this we(d\ than they wefe last 

 week. . The mums are goTie aiiil tin' 

 growers are thankful, for with theMv.irni. 

 bright d.ays, the rose crop has been 

 plentiful and now stock is beginning to 

 show signs of a ch.ance for ;i market. 

 The' carnation crop is late, iti nearly 

 every case, ami few growers will cut for 

 Christmas, but with sirch a cro]i of roses 

 in sight, few ret.ailer.s are worrying or 

 are anxious to h.andle carnations when 

 they can get roses for the same price. 

 The average wholesaler is charging $8 

 per hundred this week and after Tues- 

 day they will be charging $12 to $15 per
