OBNOXIOUS CHINESE
Washhouses Operating Later Than 10
p. Nj. to the Discomfort of
Many.

The Chinese laundry nuisance is again
in process of agitation. This time, how
ever, not only those living contiguous to
the washhouses are beginning to make
complaint, but even the Mongolians them
sci yes.
The law provides that these washhouses
shall close promptly at 10 p NJ, as the!Chi-
nese method of cleansing garments in
wolves a great deal of noise, due to
pounding and thrashing the garments
around Ill tubs and on boards. Conse-
quently those living in the circnmj jacent
region are prevented from gong to sleep.
Lately it seems that many of the Chi
nese operating these establishment have
been in the habit of working their men
till l or 2 A. M, and some enterprising
Celestials have both day and an all
night force of workmen. AS a result,
many citizens living in that part of the
City where most of these washhouses and
laundries are located, mainly north of
Powell street, along Clay, Sacramento,
Washington and Jackson, have suffered
great annoyance.
Even the workmen in many instances
are CONF mplaining at the heightened hours.
A concerted movement is on foot to inter-
est the Chinese labor unions in the mat
ter in order TO obtain relief. Unless the
law is more actively enforced, the labor
unions may abate the nuisance them
selves.

A TEN DOLLAR ASSESSMENT.
Elisha Brooks Denounces the Comb.

Department.
A TEN DOLLAR ASSESSMENT.

The School Department is agitated over
politics, that is not as department, but
as individuals. This year, more than ever
before, the teachers are interested in the
outcome of the election for School Direc-
tors. There are many reasons why this
should be the case. They want to have as
many friends as possible on the board, be-
cause the department is not under civil
service rules and the Damocles sword of
official displeasure swings above their
heads suspended by a fine hair.
There are very few men among the 900
teachers in the department, and this fact
enders the situation of the teachers all
the more precarious. Votes count in
politics, and the ladies, not being allowed
to WELD the ballot, must do considerable
ampaigning among their friends.
There are already nearly half dozen
tickets in the field. but the School Depart
ment as such is not responsible for them.
Ladies of similar tastes and preferences
get together and make up a list OF the
twelve candidates whom they would pre-
fer as members OF the new Board of Edu-
cation.
Then the candidates are requested to
put up $40 each to raise a fund of $120 to
defray the expense of printing rs, 900 cards.
These cards are carefully distributed
among the friends of the teachers with
circular, requesting their male friends to
vote for them.
There are already four tickets in the
school field so far as heard from, and con-
siderable feeling as we'll as rivalry has
been created. One of the two leading
tickets is said to have been made up by
Miss Fowler of the Teachers Aid Society,
with the aqsistanra of nf m
bers, and the other by Miss McFadden ana
Mrs, Powers.
The Fowler ticket is as follows:
Armer, D.; Blake, P. p, A. c. D.; Carew, A.
Darlington, D.. n. p; Powers, R., U. L. Waller,

Candidates who had not been put on all
the tickets complained loudly. Some of
them who had paid their $40 assessment
fairly shrieked, and that is why Principal
Brooks called the matter to the attention
of the teachers at the meeting in the Girls
High School yesterday afternoon.

Eddie Galvery, the Little Boy Who
Was Killed Last Night by a
Mission-Street Electric Car.

Green, residing at 135e1l Minna street,
sent her 12-year-old son. Eddie Galvery,
out to drugstore for bottle of magnesia.
Accompanied by Johnnie Murphy and
George Harcourt, boys in the neighbor-
hood, he ran through narrow passage
way, known as Keefe's alley, which leads
from Minna street to Mission, between
Fourteenth and Fifteenth. Accounts diff
fer as to the manner in which he was run
over.
Matthew Murphy, an old man who lives
at 1907 Mission street, was one of the few
witnesses of the accident. He said that
he saw the boy running across the street,
with other boys after him, and that the
next second, after looking up from light
ing his pipe, he heard a scream and saw
the boy falling under the car.
Little Johnny Murphy, about years
old, says Eddie Galvery was jumping from
an outbound car to Twenty-second and
Mission-street car when he was struck by
the latter and crushed to death under the
wheels. Johnny was standing on the curb
stone and says he saw the whole catas-
trophe.
The car was No. 1881, Motorman Leady
and Conductor Nc Mahon. The motorman
stopped the car as quickly as possible, but
the Doy was alreauy unuer tne lorWard
trucks grinding to pieces. He was going
at high rate of speed. The car vas about
$50 feet from the crossing of Fourteenth
street and bound down Mission street.
The car was removed from the remains
and the Morgue notified. Detective GIa-
ham and Patrolman E. J. Thomson of the
Seventeenth-street police station arrested
Motorman Leady.
Streetcars were lined up for two or
three blocks behind the body until the
Morgue wagon arrived and took the re-
mains away. The body was horribly
NJ mutilated. 1t was collected in fragments.
The cashier said that Mr.. Abrams, who

about 100 feet from the Patterson resi-
dence and almost demolished it. The
shock of the collision turned the horses,
and they crossed the street, and after tip
ping a buggy over dashed into another
election booth near Jones street. Both of
the horses fell on the last contact, and
were grasped by several men and secured.
The horses and wagon escaped with
slight damage, but the voting booths will
have to undergo repairs before they can
be used on November 8.

Good Plantation Under Way in
Makaha Valley.
SOIL AND CLIMATE FAVORABLE.
Short Outline of What Corporation
Is Doing Nearly 100000 Trees
I'm Nursery Road Built and Inn
provements are Stin Going On.

The Makaha Coffee Company, the pi-
oneer coffee growing corporation OF the
Island of Oahu, held a meeting yester-
day, made some changes in it's officers
corporate body to carry on the de-
velopment of their plantation property
in the Waianae district.
The new list of officers is as follows:
President, w. II. Hoogs; Vice Presi-
dent, F. B. McStocker; Treasurer j. A.
Low; Secretary, ]. S. Walker; Auditor,
w. c.. Ashhley. Frank Hustace was
elected to serve on the Board of Direct
ors with the above named. This COM
paratively new corporation, with a cap
ital stock of $4,000, is interested in the
development of some 200 acres of choice
coffee lands in the Makaha valley of the
Waianae range.
The land which they have secured is
said to be equal to any of the coffee
lands in the country. 1t is located on
the slopes of the mountains, at an alti-
tude of from / 400 to $500 feet. The
precipitous cliffs of the mountains give
a natural and perfect protection from
strong winds, and the rainfall Of the
section is just what is wanted for good
coffee cultivation. A portion of the
land at present is covered with a
heavy growth of kukui trees, that will
gradually be cleared away as the boun-
daries of the plantation expand.
Although the company has been re-
Gently organized, the work on the plan
tation has been going on for fully a
year under the direction of Mr.. Low
and others who are now interested in
the success of the corporation. The
preliminary work is practically finish
ed. The road up the valley has been
completed, buildings erected and some
250,000 coffee plants set out. The gen.
eral scheme under which the coffee
trees are being propagated is somewhat
different from that followed on many
plantations. The trees are grown in a
large nursery, where they will be al
lowed to remain for from eighteen
months to two years, and then trans
planted as the land is cleared. By this
method the trees are matured at less
expense, and bear a crop the first year
after transplanting. A smaller force
of men is required at the outset, and
the final results are believed to be as
satisfactory as when the trees are scat
tered over a large area during the first
years of development.
A good bit of money has already
been expended, but with such fiattering
results that members of the company
feel sanguine of the success of coffee
on this Island. The plantation is about
eight miles from the Waianae sugar
plantation, and will be in close connec-
tion with Honolulu when Mr.. Dilling-
ham continues the railroad around the
