A Correction.

Mr.. John Ena has requested this
paper to state that the article pub.
lished in the Star of last Wednes-
day, which stated, on the authority
of Chief Clerk Hassinger, that no
appropriation was ever made to
widen the Waikiki road, ETC., is
misleading and erroneous. Mr.. Ena
says the second section of the APP
preparation bill passed by the last
legislature included an appropria-
ton of $3.50 for the purpose of
widening and otherwise improving
the Waikiki road from King street
to the Kalae bridge, and that work
will be commenced on such i'm
provement in a short time.

From the very outset the Vic
toria has been an unfortunate yes.
sci. Her first mishap occurred
when, being towed down the Tyne:
after being launched at Elswick
she fouled the bridge. Since then
one of her guns has burst and she
has twice run aground. Upon the
last occasion, little more than a
year ago, while efforts were being
made to set her afioat again, a
a sudden lurch of the ship threw
Sir George Tryon overboard.-

STEAMER WAIMANALO.
She VIII Likely Prove to be a
Total Wreck.

The steamer Waimanalo, owned
by Captain C. Dudoit, and COM
manded by him, got aground at
Keawanui, about four miles from
Waialua on Wednesday night. The
vessel did not have any cargo on
board at the time of her grounding.
The captain and his crew made re-
peated attempts to float the steamer,
but they finally gave that up as
hopeless. Mr.. Gaspar Silva, who
keeps a store at Mokuleia, about
one mile from the place where the
Waimanalo went ashore, telephoned
at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon
that the Waimanalo was up high
and dry and lying on her beam
ends at low tide. Mr.. Silva also
affirmed that he had sailed small
schooner over the spot where the
Waimanalo is now aground and
crossed the coral barrier all right.
He did not deem that the Wanna
nalo was in a very dangerous posi-
ton, and at the time of telephoning
he could not see anybody moving on
board the steamer and he sup
posed that they were down below.
Captain Dudoit went over to Waia-
lua during the day and saw Dep
uty Sheriff Amara.
The Waialeale was loading
paddy at place two miles away
from the wreck and she is ex-
pected to leave there for this port
this morning. Captain Gahan of
the Kaala, which was lying at
Punaluu yesterday did not know
anything of the wrecke. the

A French woman may become a
doctor, lawyer, a member of the
board of education she may even
be decorated with the cross of the
Legion of Honor. But she may not
witness a legal document. She
may occupy as high place as
possible in art, business or COM
merce, but she cannot possess her
own earrings if she is married, and
she can neither buy nor sell prop
erty without her husbands consent.

1t being generally admitted that
the day of miracles is past, and
the belief in special judgment for
particular sins having become
practically absolute, the fate of
Ananias fails to exercise that
wholesome restraining influence on
the Bulletin and other members of
the Nordhoff phalanx which it
otherwise might. If people of the
present day were struck dead for
lying, there would be never a roy
alist editor or letter writer left.
The whole breed would be as ex-
tinct as the dodo or the dinothir-
mum, while the ranks Of the restor-
ationists would be depleted more
swiftly and surely than if a battery
of gatling guns had been turned
loose on them.

If, as the Bulletin now pleads,
some of its recent statements con-
corning the financial operations of
the government were mistakes so
plain as scarcely to need correc-
tion-mistakes which anyone could
detect at a glance-it seems very
queer that the person who wrote
and published those statements
should not have detected the errors.
In attempting to defend its fair
ness, the Bulletin makes a very
bad showing for its intelligence.

SOTEs AND COMMENTS.

The police station scandal is
nothing new. For the past ten
years what is known as the station
house gang" has been a disgrace to
every succeeding administration.
The police station reached its
height of unfayoraLle notoriety
when Mr.. G. w. Ashford was at
torney-general. Until lately, and
since the Provisional government
came into power, there has not even
been disposition to reform mat
tors in that quarter The plain
truth of the matter is that the "sta-
ton house gang" so thoroughly |
lntrenched itself under the dis
graceful regime of the mon
rs 1ehy that it will now

The disreputable condition of tn
police department is acknow
lodged on all hands and it is fortu
nately the last remaining heritag

present regime. The inability O
the Provisional government to re

that any government unde

available material it is useless t.

the police station for the past de

WILL ASK SOME QUESTIONS.
The Directors of the Pacific Bank to
Appear i'm Court

When the Pacific Bank case is called in
Judge Hebbard's court next Friday Attor-
ney Baggett, who represents the Bank Com
missioners, proposes to begin an investiga-
ton that may become interesting, Acting
with that intention Baggett had subpepas
issued yesterday for Directors r. III. NJ
Donald Jr., Frank Mcdonald. A. K.
Stevens. w, A. Grady. and also for Will
liam Jenningson. who has been useful
man to the officers of the bank in many OF
their enterprises, and who is supposed to
be familiar with these transactions.
The question which Judge Hebbard is to
decide on that day is as TO whether the
temporary injunction which he Issued a
couple of weeks ago restraining the officers
of the bank from transacting any business
for the institution shall be made perma-
nent. Attorney Baggett is going to inquire
into some of these transactions In whlcn
large amounts of the banks funds were
used. and he hopes to bring out facts that
will convince the court that the injunction
should be made permanent.
1--WE have been at work here more than
a week." said Mr.. Baggett. land we have
made some discoveries which are quite as
difficult of explanation as others that have
been already published, and the directors
will be asked some very pointed questions
about them.
cit is very evident why the bank officers
were so much opposed to an Investigation
by the Commissioners. They opposed it
in every way. even trying TO keep us from
hiring the needed clerical force. but the H.
vestigation is going on nevertheless.
mo man can tell how long it will take,
but we hope 10 get matters ready for the
Commissioners to wind up affairs in very
short time. At any rate. we will bring
out enough at the next appearance to
place the bank completely and forever IN
the hands of the Bank Commissioners"

More Complications for the Law-

Some days ago Judge Coffey Of the Pro.

Elizabeth A. Heydenfeldt the widow Of
the late Judge Solomon Heydenfeldt. and

interest in the property of the decedent.
The contestant. Henrietta Heydenfeldt,
who also claimed to be the Judges widow,
did not press her case, and this was said
to be due to compromise arranged by her
lawyer. j. L. Crittenden.
Yesterday two deeds were filed In the

during his lifetime. and that Elizabeth A.
HeyGenfeldt, the widow, has no interest
in the property at all. because it belongs To
the children.
The deeds to Henrietta Heydenfeldt,

there was some compromise made.
No objection is made by the children's
attorney to the first deed, as Elizabeth A.
Heydenfeldt is acknowledged to have
claim to il. But the second quitclaim deed
is objected to and will lead to another
souabble in this much litigated estate.
