PLAN TO TRANSFORM THE HOTEL
INTO \ SCHOOL.
Educational Commissioners Won Holt
and Smith and Deputy Inspector
Gibson will See to Its Adaptability.

Educational Commissioners Ii. NJ.
Won Holt and George w. Smith and
Deputy Inspector General of Schools
Gibson have been appointed Il com
mittee to examine the Hawaiian hotel
premises for the purpose of ascertain
| ing its adaptability for school pur-
poses
The committee will submit its re-
port at the meeting of the Education-
al board next Wednesday. If favor
able Minister Cooper will ask the
President and Cabinet to abandon the
sale or lease of the property in Octo-
Der and will endeavor to have the
building transformed into a school.
There are two other syndicates that
have made known their intentions of
erecting large hotel in the event of
the Hawaiian hotel being turned into
school building. This information
has been made known authoritatively
| to the President and Ministers, so it
is understood.
| This being the case it is extremely
probable that the Cabinet will gladly
abandon the proposed sale and
sufficient money to have the
i building properly fitted up for school
purposes, will be asked of the Legis-
! lature.
| The Educational Commissioners
know that there is growing need for
a central school as well as a relief for
the other schools. which are over
crowded in the city.
One of the Commissioners believes
that IT," Normal school and practice
school pupils should attend this school
| in case it is established.

ESCAPED FROM MOLOKAI.
Six Patients Get Over the Pass I
Kaunakakai.

Executive Officer Reynolds reported
on matters pertaining to the Molokai
settlement at the Health Board meet
ing yesterday. Six patients had es-
capped from the settlement going ov-
er the pass to Kaunakakai. Five of the
fugitives have been captured. Mr.. Rey-
nolds recommended that the Kanua-
kakai officers be more careful hereaf-
ter.
The Waleia road is being pushed to
completion. 1t is feared that 5000 will
be insufficient to carry out the work.
The department will encourage the
patients to catch fish and dispose of
them to the Government at 4 cents a
pound. This would be much better
than buying meat at so cents. 4
number of canoes were being built for
this purpose. Mr.. reynolds said that
Acting Resident Superintendent Hut
Crimson feared the natives might es-
cape in the canoes, but he did not be.

AUSTIN Is OUT.
His Conduct Not Upheld by the Edu
cational Commissioners.

AS result of Minister Cooper's in
vestigation Harry Il. Austin, teacher
of the Kapaa school on Nauai, has
been dismissed from the service of the
Educational department. Miss Alice
Smith, teacher in the Normal school,
was appointed to succeed him.
The Minister took up the charge OF
maltreatment of one of the pupils. He
was asked by Austin to define the
word injunction" which he was un-
able to do. Austin struck the boy a
sweeping blow with his hand, knock
ing his head against the blackboard.
a large bruise was inflicted on his
head, which gave him considerable
pain. On the following day the boy
fell from his horse while on his way
from school and lay unconscious on
the ground for some time before he
was found by a policeman. A siege
of illness began and DR.. Hugus pro-
nounced it case of congestion of
the brain. at"
Minister Cooper told how Austin
had caused the evidence to be twisted
at the examination. He had induced
his pupils to sign a statement that he
did not strike the boy explaining to
them that he had fixed it on day 9th
er than the day of the occurrence.
a petition asking for Austin's re-
tention was exhibited. Commissioner
Smith examined the petition and saw
that the chirography throughout was
the same.
Austin's insult to Mrs. Hart. tea
cher in the school, was referred to
briefly.

MAUI POLITICS.
Rival Hawaiian Annexationists in the
Field.


At meeting held in the Lahaina
Court House on Tuesday evening,
September 21, the rival candidates for
Legislative honors, A. n. Kepoikai of
Wailuku, and ID. ii. Kahaulelio. of La
haina. auuressed a number of the La
haina voters.
Kepoikai said that although at on,
time strong Royalist he was now the
president of the Annexation club Mt
Wailuku. That as a member of the
Wailuku Roard Board he had worked
hard to get the carriage road round
the mountain. He pledged himself to
work for annexation, to improve the
road from Lahaina to WaiIuku, and to
do his best to keep the December term
of the Circuit Court at Lahaina.
George Hons of Wailuku spoke in IA
vor of Kepoikai, dwelling on his ca
reer as Circuit Judge of Maui.
d. II. Kahaulelio then made an elo-
quent address in Hawaiian. e said
he had never been Circuit Judge or
president of the Annexation club, but
he had been elected on Hawaii del
egate to the Constitutional Convention
and had helped to frame the Consti-
tuition.
He asked who would have the inter-
ests of Lahaina more at heart, a stran-
ger living at Wailuku, or person
born and brought up in Lahaina.
He undertook to do as much as Ke-
poikai for the roads and towards
keeping the Court at Lahaina. and he
also promised to work for an aDDro-
priaton to improve the Lahaina land
ing.
He had already given his pledge in
writing to do all in his power in favor
of annexation.
