Sid Field, a colored boy, son Of
Ellen Field, who sometimes sells
vegetables, ETC., around town, had
his arm blown off last Saturday by
a stick of dynamite. Sid was after
the fnny tribe unlawfully, and his
accident seems like punishment for
his wrong doing. In this accident
is completed a list Of casualties that
seldom happens to one family. FL
len Fields husband was killed by
John Buzzle several years ago; two
of her children were drowned; one
son was shot through with a ram
rod, and another son was recently
up before a magistrate as a result
of love affair. Sid's arm was am
putated by Drs. Dee and Duncan,
and the severed member was borne
to the Tabernacle neighborhood in
triumph by his friends and inferred
with religious ceremonies. Verify,
the negroes are a curious race.

ON NATIONAL FINANCE.
View OF Funding Bill by Promi.
nent Financier.

NJ. S. Grinbaum, who has just arrived
from the coast, is gentleman who has
large interests here and naturally takes
a great interest in all matters of finance.
In course of conversation Mr.. Grin
baum said that he was very much
pleased with the action of the Govern
ment and its disinterested financial
policy. Mr.. Damon's plan for reducing
the interest on the debt he considered
an essentially good one. 1t worked for
the good of the poorer and middle class
taxpayers, whose interests it was neces-
sary and right that a Government
should consider, the wealthy being able
to take care of themselves. If a Gov
eminent can reduce its rate of interest
it can in time afford to reduce its taxes.
Considering the resources of this
country, the Government should not
pay higher rate than five per cent,
and it ought not TO be at all difficult TO
obtain that rate.
Lowering the rate of interest would
have an excellent effect upon Hawaiian
credit abroad. Mr.. Grinbaum pointed
out the self-evident proposition that the
lower the rate of interest the better the
financial standing of the country, and
the fact that the rate had been lowered
would naturally make capital look into
investments in this country
All this was foreshadowed in the
funding bill of the Minister of Finance,
which the big eight" tabled so uncere-
moniously. That the bondholders would
naturally strive TO keep up the six per
cent. rate was self-evident to the gentle
man talked with. He said all mankind
was as rule selfish, and very natural
ly those here who were in position or
would be in position to buy bonds
made fight to keep up the rate of in
terest

RACES TALKED OF.
Want Them July 4-Superiority
of Australian Boats.

Efforts are being made by an honor
airy member of the Healani Club to ar
range series of races for July 4th. He
believes that the Healani boys under
more favorable conditions could win
any race in which they would row
against the Myrtles.
In a conversation yesterday, Ruby
Dexter said he would have to decline,
owing TO the training necessary for the
bicycle races June IL, and the proba-
biiity of the twenty-five mile relay race
coming off July 4th..
The ease with which the shells glided
over the water on Saturday speaks well
for the Australian made racing boats.
Certainly no prettier or better made
shells ever entered a harbor. In con-
nection with this it may be said that
James Stanbury, champion sculler of
the world, will use shell of the same
make in his race with ''Wag" Harding,
which takes place in England July 10.

SiXty-third Day.
MONDAY, May IL


After the opening exercises President
Wilder presented the report of the Spe-
cial Liquor Commission appointed by
the President The report was receiv-
ed and ordered printed.
Senator Lyman, from the Public
Lands Committee, reported favorably
on the bill relating to permanent set
tlement of kapiolani Park. The same
committee also reported on the petition
of E. P. Low and r. r. Hind regarding
relief from taxes on land at Kukaiau.
The committee find that the statements
of the petitioners are correct, but as the
Nand was bought at public auction, they
nnot recommend that the petition be
gNnted. The report was adopted.
SENATOR Lyman gave notice of bill
to pfOvide for the extension of certain
streets of Hilo.
Senate bill to provide for polling
place in only one precinct in cases
where there is only one candidate. The
constitutionality of this measure being
questioned, it was referred to the Attor-
ney General.
The Joint resolution on the Great
Seal of the Republic was received and
referred back.
Senate bill No. "a, relating TO fish
cries. came up for third reading. Sen
ator McCandless moved to indefinitely
postpone the bill, as it worked hard
ship on the poor people. He did not
believe in hedging about the sea and
all that is therein to few people.
Dina caid tho Dnpa S1lrp was ~
protect the natives against the inroads
made ON their fishing industry by the
Chinese and japanese.
Senator Baldwin was not entirely in
sympathy with the bill. He thought
better move would be to place limit
on the size of the fish taken from the
water.
Senator McCandless motion to in
definitely postpone was carried.
Senate bill No. So, providing for the
permanent settlement of Kapiolani
Park, came up on second reading and
was taken up section by section. OPP
position arose TO those sections of the
bill which provides for the Pork Com
missioners renting portions of the park
to parties who will charge admission
fee for public entertainments. Minister
Damon said if the country was to have
a park, let it have free park, if a race
course, then let it have race course,
but he was opposed to combining the
two in the manner proposed. Mr.. Da-
mon favored a free park and cited in
stances where a free race course in a
free park had proven successful.
The two sections touching on this
point were deferred until absent MEM
bers of the Senate could be consulted.
Adjourned.
