An Easily Remedied Defect in the 9th
Street Motor Cars

The Metropolitan Railroad Company made
further experiments between midnight and
daybreak this morning with the new cleo
trical equipment of the 9th street branch.
ard President Phillips said today that he
was perfectly satisfied with the success OF
the system. in which sentiment he was
Joined by all the other officials Of the road.
Several things were proven last night, said
Mr. Phillips, ard among them the import
ant fact that Il was as easy to conduct cleo
tricity for the purpose of propelling street
cars through ison tracks as 1t was by cop
per wires. 1t was also proved that the con-
duit came up to thu expectations of Its de-
signers and the contractor who built 1t.
Mr. E. Saxton This was developed by the
heavy rain storm, which began pouring
down at 1 o'clock, and continued almost
without intsrmission for three hours. rms
incipient deluge had no ef1ect upon the eiec.
trical work in :he conduit, and the current
was kept up through the tracks during the
whole time the rain fell without the loss, as
shown by the meters at the power house, Oh
as much as an ampere OF the power
It was discovered, too. that the motor
cars had not been properly W1red. "A car
was started out shortly after " O'CLOCK
having on board President Phillips, En-
eineer Connect Contractor Saxton Elec-
trician Barney of the General Electric
Company and a number of other passen-
gers. After going about mile over the
road, the lights in the car suddenly went
out, and it came to stop. Mr. Barney
thought that the fault was in the under
ground equipment. believing that the tracks
had failed to carry the current. An I'M
mediate test was made. which showed that
there was 10 oiminution in the electrical
force being carried through the tracks 1t
was apparent, therefore, that the trouble
was with the motor car. Various expert
ments were made, and at last one OF the
wires connected with the controller was
disconnected, and the lights Immediately
fiared up again and the car received motive
power.
Further examination at the power house
developed the fact that the motor cars
had been wired incorrectly. and this morn
ing Mr. Walter H. Wright, the expert cleo
trician Of the General Electric Company
at Schenectady, NY, was telegraphed to-,
and a reply was received that he would be
IN Washington tomorrow morning to REM
edy the faults. President Phillips sad to-
day that there would be no trouble what
ever in removing any defects that may be
found to exist in the cars. and that no fur

Wages on District Work.

to have the public work on District build
irgs performed at maximum wages, made
report. and that portion Of the report which
stated that the committee had requested
that no person not resident of the Dis

PEELED her to abandon her work there. In
1884 and in 1890 she went to London to
study the methods of TOynbee Hall and fit
herself for a similar work in the slums of

Returning to Chicago, Miss Adams and
Miss Ellen Starr, a teacher, secured the
old Hull House at the corner of Polk and

in one of the worst quarters of Chicago.
The woman who owned the house gave

however, many philanthropic women be-

in many profitable ways. Miss Adams Is

SHE WANTED ADVICE.
Native Woman Alarmed Over Alb
senee of Her Husband.

Between z and S o'clock last
night a native woman, in a very
agitated state of mind, called at
the police station for advice as to
what she thought was a serious
breach of family etiquette. Her
husband had become wearied of
her patient suffering and had left
the house without word or money
She said her mind was very much
disturbed by the incident conse-
quently she was unable to think.
Would the officers please help her
to think and offer friendly advice
in the matter ? After much talking
back and forth, one chivalrous
employee at the police station step
ped forth and offered advice which
would have done credit to a man
of more advanced age. The adj
vice KEEP on until it lapsed into
pleasant tone. In a little while
the woman had forgotten her hus
band, and was chatting in friendly
tones with her new acquaintance.
As she was about to leave, the
kindly adviser cruelty asked her
what she was going to do about her
husband. The answer she gave
was, "Auwe, poina ihola" Good
ness, 1 had forgotten).
Steps toward the arrest of the
husband will probably be taken to-
day.

duction OF the game in Honolulu
several years ago.
Following closely in the foot
steps of the Pacific Tennis Club
has come the formation of the
Beretania Club, which according
to indications, gives promise of a
successful career.
The first tournament given by
the Pacific Tennis Club was won
by DR.. Howard and Walter Dilling-
ham of the above named organiza-
ton over A. l.. G.. Atkinson and
Sam Woods, after one of the most
exciting and closely contested
series of sets ever played on the
islands.
With the concentration of the
tennis players of Honolulu in the
Beretania and Pacific tennis clubs,
lovers of the game might we'll ex-
pect to see an interesting tourna-
ment, or set of tournaments as
soon as the former organization
shall have had time to get into
good playing form. Both sides
are anxious for friendly contest,
not only for the test of playing
qualities, but as a matter of far
more importance-the maintenance
of interest in the game among the
sport-loving public of Honolulu.
Ganr.na i0foraof ~ fannie - not
confined solely TO males, the gen.
tier sex having, by excellent play
ing, justified the right of laying
claim to such. Honolulu need
have no fear with respect to a
ladies' tournament against players
in the United States.
Another feature which promises
well for the development of tennis
skill in the future, was introduced
by the Pacific Tennis Club several
weeks ago by the formation of a
junior branch. Certainly, educa-
ton in tennis as along other lines,
should begin with the young, in
order to attain greater perfection of
results.
With the current of tennis spirit
has come the building of courts on
lawns of private homes, where
friends who have known but little
of the game, collect and are given
a few preliminary lessons by the
more experienced.
There are in Honolulu, as in
other cities of greater Importance,
many persons whose ignorance of
even the elements of the game,
lead them into the mistake of call
ing tennis "baby game" or some
other expression akin to that. Sew
eral of these misguided individuals
have been heard to apply ''ladies
game" as being nearest their sense
of derision. Certainly it is ladies'
as well as mems or childrens'
games, but that fact does not affect
in he least the skill required to
play it successfully.

STATUE. born at Freder-
icks, Putnam county, n. Y, July 81,
1903. His grandfather, Elisha Kent, and
his father, Moses Kent, were both gradu-
ates of Yale, and James followed in their
footsteps and was graduated in 1871. He
was one of the founders of the Phi Beta
Kappa society and was a student at Yale
when the British broke up the college and
dispersed the students in 1870.
He studied law with Egbert Benson in
Poughkeepsie and was admitted to the bar
in 1855. He rose early each morning and
devoted several hours to the study of the
classics and modern languages and prac-
ticed law during the day. His evenings
were also devoted to study. In 1890 he be-
gan a three terms service in the New
York assembly and in 1888 ran for con-
gress, but was beaten by his brother-in-
law. He was an ardent Federalist and be-
came the friend of Hamilton and Jay, who
had a high opinion of his abilities.
His growing reputation for legal erudi-
ton won for him the professorship of law
at Columbia college, which he held until
1898, when Governor Jay appointed him
justice of the New York state supreme
court. From 1904 until 1914 he was chief
justice of this court and made an exhaust
i've study of the civil law. He defined the
limitations of the English common law in
its application to the United States and
was untiring in his efforts to determine
unsettled principles. In 1914 he was ap-
pointed chancellor of New York state, and
during his nine years of service laid the
foundations OF equity jurisprudence in the
United States.
At the age of 60 he was retired, al
though still in the full possession of his
physical and mental faculties, and his
name was prominently mentioned for the
United States supreme bench, but Presi-
dent Monroe made another selection. Mr.
Kent then returned to Columbia college
In 1S26-30 his Commentaries, covering
the entire field of American and interna-
tional jurisprudence, were published and
are still the standard textbooks every law
student reads. Chancellor Kent died in
New York city in 1S47 at the ripe old age
of 81.
