THE DAILY
MONDAY,
ENCOURAGE VARIED PRO
DUCTS FOR HAWAII.

In discussing the future progress
of Hawaii, the same two great
questions always arise-the labor
supply and the possibility of raising
a greater variety of produce.
On both these subjects the recent
report of the Governor of the
Straits Settlements, as given in the
Times, may be found both interest
ing and instructive. Referring to
Perak, one of the native protected
states, we are told that the late
Resident "paid great attention to
the development of the soil, and a
good start has been made in the
growing of sugar, pepper, tea,
coffee and rice, while tobacco and
the mulberry, for the raising Of
silkworms, are reported as promis-
ing WELL" and in another State
the chief success seems to have
been attained with sage and
tapioca."
We believe that there are dis
tricts on these islands where each
one of these products might be
raised with profit; not only these,
the more costly spices-cinnamon,
nutmeg, allspice, ETC., are at least
worth a capitalists attention.
On the labor question, the writer
says: 1.-The future of planting de-
ponds on the supply of cheap labor,
where can it be got from? The
Malays themselves are not gener-
ally speaking very good workers
nor are there enough of them. The
Chinese go to the mines, but fo1
planting it seems that the only
supply is from Southern India, and
must be imported on certain con,
ditions for term of months. The
Resident of Perak sees no reason
why this should not be permitted
and he will not admit that the term
slavery" can in any fairness be
applied to it. OF course an I'M
ported laborer may find himself
earning less money, after time
than some of his cOuntrymen who
are not under an agreement. They
may have had the luck to find
better investment for their labor
but, on the other hand, his voyage
is at the cost of his employer, and
he is not yet acclimatized. He
complains, but he forgets that the
fact of his being there, and of his
earning twice or thrice what be
would have earned at home, is ow-
ing to the person to whom he Is
bound.
"To prohibit agreement labor
altogether would be to throw back
indefinitely the future of the PENN
sula and to deprive thousands OF

Of this useful association met at the
hall on Alakea and Hotel street than
should have appeared Saturday
evening. But the meeting was
interesting, and the reports of
the President and Treasurer
show a prosperous financial condi-
ton. There are nearly 10000 vol

periodicals has been revised and
much improved. It is not generally
known that Hon. @. r. Bishop has
donated fund of $1,000, the income
of which is now used for the purchase
of books. The condition was that the
association should pay its debts Our
generous community responded; the
debt is paid, and the benefit of the
fund is now being enjoyed. But the
library has not yet reached the limit
of it's usefulness. The community
do not know what valuable list of
books and papers is waiting for use.
The reference department is specially

was occupied in discussing methods
of getting at a wider circle of people

That SculpturaI Stone.

MR.. EDITOR: In your issue OF
Oct. %, DR.. Hyde asks who has
seen the " sculptural stone at Waia-
lua," described in the narrative of
Gilbert Farquhar Mathison, pub
lished at London in 1925.
In 1949, with several Waialua
friends, under the guidance of an
old Hawaiian, we visited Halemanu,
the legendary domain of d" Ke-Alii-
Aikanaka," or the cannibal chief.
The only approach to the place was
along a narrow neck of land, ianked
by high precipices. The range
above the isthnus was extensive,
and walled in with precipitous
heights-a place well fitted by ma
ture to be the retreat of desperate
marauder. Here we were shown
where Ke-Alii-Aikanaka's house
stood, near large koa tree, which
IS still growing there. The founda-
ton lines of the house were at that
time well defined. Further on was
the fiat, historic stone, the Cannlbal
Chiefs "ipukai," or gravy dish, on
which he carved and served his
CHASTITY entertainment. 1t was
large round stone, five or SIX feet
in diameter, firmly imbedded
in the ground, and extend
ing about one foot above it.
The top was smoothly followed
out like platter or soup plate. We
did not observe on it any sculpural
representations, as mentioned by
Mr.. Mathlson. The stone was sur
rounded by grass, and the figures
might have been on the sides ad-
joining the ground and thu
escaped our notice. Our guide
affirmed that fire klndled on the
rock would draw human oil from it,
Near by was the large hole in the
ground which served as the "imu !"
or oven, in which the human vic
tins were baked. These were OBJ
tanned by Selling persons who I'M
Willingly approached the narrow
neck of land in search of Xxi leaf,
olona or wood.
Our venerable guide was well
versed in the legendary history of
the place. His story of the final
catastrophe which ended Ke-Alii-
Aikanaka's bloody career, differs
somewhat from that of Mr.. Mathi-
son. 1t was as follows: A brother
of one of the chiefs victims, hav-
ing discovered his retreat, re-
solved on revenge, and spent a
year in perfecting himself in
boxing, wrestling and other
athletic exercises. He then repair
ed to the narrow pass, the lurking
place of the Cannibal Chief. Imme-
diately they grappled. A long and
fearful struggle followed, but at
last the chief was dragged by his
foe to the edge of the precipice, land
hurled down. The guide showed us
large ohia tree, growing vel
down the pail sides, in the boughs
of which the lifeless body of Ke'
Alii-Aikanaka was caught and
hung.
In 1879 with my son 1 again Wis
tied Halemanu. We looked for the
historic "ipukai," but could mo-
, find it. The place was overgrowr
with the "uluhi," or tangle-fern
which prevented thorough explora
, ton. Since then | have been there
many times. l was there in Angus
last. The vegetation on the Who'll,
, locality had then been burnt off
but not vestige of the stone was
| to be seen. Without doubt it ha:
! been covered, like many Eastern
. monuments, by the soil of decayeC
/ vegetation and the debris of noun
, tain freshets. d. D. BALDWIN

A Stranger with Woman in the Wilds OF
Quebec.
Boston, May 2S.--A special to The
Herald from Grand Falls, N. B., states
that some weeks ago Mr.. Mayberry, of
the Great Falls hotel, was informed by
lumbermen from the province of Que
bee of a strange couple seen in st. Louis
parish, near the mouth of the Saugenay
river, and that by means of photographs,
which Mr.. Mayberry procured from
Boston, the two were recognized as ex-
Sergeant Silcott and the woman
known to be with him
Warrants for their arrests having
been obtained, Maybelry wrote for in
structions to Boston and Washington
About ten days ago n messenger was
sent to find Silcott and his companion.
He returned to Grand Falls Saturday
night and reported that the woman had
left by the Quebec steamer three days
before his arrival, and that the man
could not be found. The two had spent
the winter in small hut which the
man had built about twelve miles back
in the woods near lumber camp
which supplied them with food
1.-THE couple pretended to be very poor
but the lumbermen said they had plenty
of money The woman's old wooden
box broke ON its way to steamer and
was seen to be filled with silk dresses
and other finery. During the winter
the strangers had la grippe and came to
the settlement for medicine and assist
ance. Mr.. Mayberry has no doubt that
the man is Silcott.

THREATeNs REVOLUTION.
Newfoundlanders Up in Arms Against the
Invasion of the French.

Invasion of the French.
LONDON, May 29-Lord Knutsford,
colonial secretary, has received a note
addressed to the queen voted by the
Newfoundland legislative council and
house of assembly This document has
probably no parallel in the history of
our colonial empire for the angry and
threatening tone which it assumes to-
wards the home government, except,
perhaps, the dispatch in which the
North American colonists in 1918 an
nounced that they would not longer pay
taxes to Great Britain.
The Newfoundlanders threaten revo-
luton in consequence of arrangements
entered into by Great Britain with
France regarding the fisheries and the
establishment Of lobster canning factor
les by the French, the claim being made
that the 100000 British subjects of the
island have been reduced to poverty and
great suffering, and their rights grossly
ignored.
The Paris correspondent of The Post
denies upon official authority the state
ment that French sailors have been
landed on the shores of st. Georges bay,
Nova Scotia, a statement which has been
industriously circulated with view of
intensifying the feeling arising from the
Newfoundland fisheries dispute. The
ensire question, the correspondent says,
is very lightly regarded by the French
government and this latest attempt to
foment tronble has fallen fat.
The Standards Paris correspondent
says it is impossible to learn whether the
Decentralization of French soldiers and
marines at Newfoundland is due to or
ders from Paris or to an excess of zeal
ON the part of their officers.

The iron bow-plates were ripped off

upon the deck. The steamer ran full
tilt upon the berg, though she received
no damaging below the water line.
There were 800 steerage and thirty first
