ROLLED ESQ FEET
Pail Accident That Will
Likely Result in a Death.
Swanson, Carpenter, the Victim.
Tried to Recover a Hat-Man
Now in Queens Hospital.

Swanson, the man who had charge
of the recent rebuilding of the wharf
at Heeia, fell from the side of the
Pail, Saturday afternoon and rolled
a distance of $50 feet to the bottom
with the result of very serious in
juries. The first message, conveying
information about the accident reached
the city at about 2:SO o'clock Satur-
day afternoon. 1t was stated then that
the man had been killed outright. At
about 6 p. m, word came that Swan
son was still living and that he had
been taken to the hospital on Heeia
plantation. He was brought to the
city yesterday and is now at the
Queens hospital in a very serious
state.
Swanson started from the other side
Saturday morning and on the way up
the Pail, lost his hat. He did not go
after it but rode to the city and bought
a new one In the afternoon, he re-
turned on horseback and upon going
down the Pail, his new hat blew off.
He asked a native standing near to
get his hat. This fellow did not seem
very anxious to do so. Swanson tied
his own horse and went himself. Up
on attempting to reach his hat down
the steep side, he struck a bowlder
and was pitched headlong to the bot
tom with the result of two or three
fractures to his skull, a pair of hands
literally torn to pieces and undoubted-
ly some internal injuries.
The native police officer stationed on
duty at the dangerous place took it
for granted Swanson was dead and
went to Kaneohe with the informa
ton. The news reached Mr.. Bull at
Heeia, who went Immediately to the
place and found the unfortunate man
breathing. Swanson was placed care
fully upon an improvised stretcher
and taken to Heeia where his injuries
were attended to temporarily.

Oakland should be plenty good enough
for Honolulu to pattern after.
Il maintain that there is really alb
surdity in making two horses come out
five times to compete for purse. as
has several times been the case here.
In two out of three race the best
horse will win and that is not always
so where it is three out of five. There
will not be anything like the oppor-
tunity for making combinations when
the dispute is TO be settled in three
heats. In the three in five method a
couple Of horses can be used against
the best one and kill him off in cou-
pie of heats. This is often done.
1T seems reasonable to me that a
horse beating his field twice shows his
superiority as much as if he is punish
ed several hours. OF course there is
the other side, making the claim that
skates and crabs fit only for merry
go-rounds can be doctored up to go a
couple of heats and best a really sound
and good and valuable horse. The
California men don't appear to think
that this consideration should be reck-
oned, even in the matter of dash. I
tell you horses, winning or losing, are
worked pretty hard in a race and they
cannot stand so much down here as in
a cold country. Three heats is enough.

Gillig Disappointed.

Harry Gillig, who is known here as
the jolliest of tourists, is known down
on the Atlantic coast as yachtman of
high degree. He has for several years
been commodore of one of the swell
New York clubs. During the first
spasm of the war fever, Gillig offered
his services to the United States as
navigator, commander. etc. He was
told that the only place open was that
of engineer. Harry was rather angry
and remarked that the country seemed
to be in need of only plumbers and
gas filters for war purposes. He reas-
oned that the plumbers would be just
the people for charging.

identifying the homes of the people
are devised and prosecuted, as a slim
illus and benediction. Forestry be-
came his speciality ad the study of it in
its largest relations was the enthusi-
asm of his later years. The treeless
countries of Spain and Sicily woke his
sorrow and his admonitions. After a
century or two more of tree killing he
saw the extinction of the American
forests with all its distressful conse-
quences. He taught the children to
plant trees as the best way to prevent
their fathers from killing them. For
this, one of the most benefcent and
far-reaching reforms, DR.. Northrop
will be held, and deservedly, in sacred
remembrance.
1t should be remembered that the
mover in this great reform was not a
mere enthusiast, but practical educa-
tor. His many years service as Secre-
tary of the Education Board of Con-
necticut, brought him into a position
to know the whole people and their
special needs. The farm house and the
school house he had occasion to study
thoroughly. What could be done with
the inside and outside of both. his
keen eye saw, and his practical taste
and good sense enabled him to teach
to others. This was work that nobody
was able or willing to do. Education
was his enthusiasm and delight The
skill that wrought changes in the me-
thods of teaching was enlisted in re-
volutionizing the externals as well. a
teacher who made her school house
grounds a garden of beauty owed to
Dr. Northrop the privilege of using
this enginery of civilization; a few
years ago school boards would have
objected. The creation of this public
sentiment is a work of time and con-
tinuous toll. Behind that sentiment
now the friends of order and neatness
in any community can correct the hab-
it's of negligent neighbors.
We do not need to speak of the rare
endowment, singular firmness of senti-
ment and loftiness of ideals of our life
long friend. They are well known We
stand by his bier today to be thankful
that he lived for over so years and
that of all the number, not one could
be spared or counted lost-R. A. S. in
The Evangelist.

THE public will hail the change
with delight, for the three in five af-
fairs have become monotonous and I'M
satisfactory. We cannot have racing
many times a year in Hawaii and when
there is a program it should have vari-
ETY. and should be run off in good time.
Last Saturday the match, settled in
three straight heats took an hour and
quarter. At the best possible rate
you cannot have more than two or
three harness races in a day. Here,
the matter will be settled, 1 suppose,
by the executive committee of the
Jockey Club. They should take every
thing into the case and if they do
think they will vote for two in three
heats. That ought to do for harness
horses when runners go the dashes."

FOR TWO IN THREE.
Another Argument for Harness
Racing Change.

Racing Change.
A good many people who do not at
all claim to be acquainted with the
fine points Of horse racing, but who
enjoy track contests and who always
patronize the pastime, are becoming
interested in the proposal to have here
after all trotting and pacing events
settled by best two heats in three in
stead Of best three in five. Said one
Of the interested persons yesterday:
Some people viii argue that it
seems ridiculous to alter down here in
the Hawaiian Islands the rules that
have been in force in the United States
ever since trotting races began. AS
a matter of fact the reform originated
over there. The United States has the
harness racing centers of the world
For some time both breeders and the
public have been asking for the
change. 1t is being made. Califor-
MA may be said to be fairly represen-
tative in this matter There has lust
been published the program for two
weeks of racing at Oakland. It has
o. harness events and not a single
one is a three in five affair. There
are listed some so of pacing and trot-
ting mile dashes. The remaining doz-

JApAN's SHORTAGE OF COAL.

Prices Rapidly Advancing and Sales to
Foreign steamers Restricted.
TACOMA, December 13.-Captain
McGregor, of the British steamer Glen
lochy, which has just arrived from
Japan, reports that coal experts who
have been making Investigations as to
Japan's coal supply declare that it
cannot last 30 years longer. This is
causing much uneasiness and has re-
suited in increased importations from
Australia.
Captain McGregOr reports that coal
prices in Japanese ports have advanced
40 per cent in eight months, and that
restrictions have been placed on its
sale to foreign steamers. He wanted to
load 1,200 tons to last him to Europe,
but obtained only enough for the voy-
age to Tacoma.
China has coal mines, but the officials
will not yet permit their development.
