IN THE HOUSE.

In the House this mbrning. the
committee on barb wire fences report
ed favorably on Bill. No. 70. The re-
port was laid on the table to be con-
sidered with the bill.
Part 10 of Section 4 of the Rapid
Transit bill was referred to the select
committee having the bill in charge.
Minister Cooper gave notice of his
intention to introduce bill to regu-
late employment agencies.
Considerable debate was provoked
by resolution presented by Repre-
sentative Achi to reconsider the reso-
luton passed some time ago provid-
ing that no new bills be allowed to
be filed after May 1s. Representative
Achi insisted that the time for filing
new bills should be open until the

NO COMPANY OF MEN is BEING
ORGANIZED HERE.
The United States Can Fight Her Bat
ties Without Our Help-Silly Yarn
Causing Some Talk.

The specter of story was fitting
around Honolulu this moyning that.
there was being organized in this city
a company of 100 men for service with
Uncle Sans boys in blue against the
Spaniards in Cuba. 1t was a very un-
substantial ghost indeed. A very
woolly, yellow yarn, as investigation
proved, and the originator of the fake
was roundly denounced by the busi-
ness men and government officials
generally.
The general impression was that
some cheap notoriety seeker had star
ted the story, but that the movement
had any backing, or any existence in
fact, was looked upon as ridiculous.
United States Consul Haywood
said: 81 know absolutely nothing in
regard to such a proposition. 1 have
no power to enlist men for the army
of the United States in a foreign coun-
try and under foreign flag. Sever
al men called upon me this morning
and offered their services to the Unit
ed States, but their action was the re-
suit of seeing an advertisement in a
certain local paper. I have, and could
have, nothing to do with such a move
ment under present circumstances"
Colonel Fisher, commander of the
National Guard of Hawaii, said: "Such
proposition as sending company
of sildiers from Honolulu to help I'm
Gle Sam in her trouble is almost too
silly to discuss OF course L have
heard nothing of such movement,
nor do 1 believe that sane man
would give the proposition thought
| We are not under the American flag
and furthermore the government OF
the United States does not need oul
help"
j. B. Atherton said that he hat
heard nothing of the matter, nor die
he for one moment believe there wa.
anything in the story at all. He sar
castically remarked: 81 would no
be bit surprised if old Uncle San
could lick the Spaniards without tn,
help of a regiment of one hundred
men from Honolulu"
Many more gentlemen of promi
nence were interview and simply rid
iculed the idea. Many feared that tn
publishing of such stuff might Undue
Spain to look upon the Islands as al
unfriendly country, and make it al
excuse for attacking us.

BILL TO LIMIT THE RIGHT TO
HOLD OFFICE.
Introduced in the Senate This Morn
ng@by Senator Kepoikai-Light
Wine Bill has a Narrow Escape.

The Senate held only a short ses-
sion this morning.
Sepator Kepoikai introduced a bill
limiting the right to hold Office to
native born or naturalized Hawaiians
and persons having special letters of
denization.
He-also presented some questions to
the Minister of the Interior relating
to the new pier at Kahului, particu-
larly asking if the Government had
made a survey of that point. He was
appointed on the Cimmittee on Com
merce.
On motion of Senator Holstein the
Senate fixed Wednesday as the time
when it would elect members of the
Council of State.
The light wine and beer bill was on
the days calendar for third reading,
but owing to the absence of one or
two friends of the measure without
whose votes it was liable to defeat,
Senator Holsteln asked that 1t be de-
ferred until Thursday.
The two bills relating to Kapiolani
park, together with the report of the
committee on them were made the
special order for tomorrow.
The public Lands Committee re-
ported favorably on the bill to pre-
serve the ancient Heiaus and other
Hawaiian antiquities.
Minister Damon presented his an
| swer to Senator Holstein's questions
| relating to the sale of the bonds un
der the loan act, the commissions to
be allowed and the terms on which
they are to be sold.
The Senate then adjourned.

HY RDCE THE IDEA @ DIED FAR FROM HOME HAWAII FOR HNAI AFRAID Of PAEES
HAD A SAD BUT SUMPTUOUS
FUNERAL.
Miss Noack Followed to the Grave
Only by the German Consul and a
Ships Officer.

Thousands of miles from home,
Miss Noack Of Berlin, died among
strangers, and was followed to her
grave in a foreign land only by the
Consular representative of her king
and an officer of the S. S. City of Pc
king, upon which she was passen-
ger. With what seems almost cruel
coldness all her fellow passengers
failed to pay even this last mark of
respect, attendance at her funeral.
Miss Noack was of a very wealthy
and highl respected family in Berlin.
She was an orphan, and was making
a tour of the world. In Japan she
suffered from an attack of heart dis
ease. She determined to 90 home to
her kindred and took passage on the
Peking. Two days out from Yoko-
hama she suffered another attack and
never left her stateroom again, dying
Friday night. Consul j. +. Hackfeld
as the representative of the German
Empire, took charge of the remains,
and the funeral arrangements. The
body was embalmed and will probably
be sent to Germany. Rev. Macintosh
conducted the funeral services.

ic Description of Fine Ships.

Part II of the portfolio series is
now ready and can be secured at The
Star business Office for a dime. 1t be-
hooves every reader to inform himself
on all questions of public interest.
just now every other question is
dwarfted by the general eagerness to
know all about the vessels composing
the United States navy.
Wooden ships are things of the past,
and Stephen Decatur himself would lie
so dazed by the sight aboard the Mass
achusetts that he would feel like
crawling into one of her cavernous,
13-inch rifles-especially as there is
no rigging to climb into. Every
schoolboy knows the prowess of our
wooden ships in 1912. but what can
be expected of the steel cruisers and
battleships? This is illustrated in the
portfolio series, containing 10 num-
bers and 100 magnificent reproduce
tions of special photographs with a
complete explanatory text With the
aid of these everybody can draw his
own differences about the serviceabiii
ty of the present United States navy.

THEY WANT A FLAG.
Band Boys at the Baldwin Home Ask
For 1t.

Among the pleasing Incidents of the
legislative visit to Molokai was one
in connection with the band at the
Baldwin School for Boys. After the
band had played several selections,
they were addressed briefly by Sena-
tor Holstein, Representative Achi and
Attorney General Smith. Responding
to these addresses the leader of the
band, a bright youth of Is or 20,
thanked the speakers for their kind
and complimentary words. He added
an expression of gratitude for the
band instruments and uniforms which
had been provided for them. Their
white trousers, he said, needed fire.
quent laundering, a matter of much
difficulty to some of the boys. They
would therefore be very grateful if
blue cloth material, similar to that
of their coats could be provided, so
that they could make trousers not
requiring laundering. They were al
so without an Hawaiian flag, a want
they felt particularly on such occa-
sions as the present.
This speech was so we'll delivered
and was couched in such admirable
terms that it provoked applause from
the visitors and the members of the
Legislature at once promised that
/ .o1 nd
the Hawaiian flag would be provided.

The CARPENTER BIRD.

These Industrious Little Fellows Fly Many
Miles to Secure Their stores.
Down in Mexico there lives Wood
pecker who stores his nuts and acorns
In the hollow stalks of the yuccas and
-magueys. These hollow stalks are sep
arated by the Joints into several cav
tiles, and the sagacious bird has some
how found this out, and bores a hole
at the upper end of each joint and an
other at the lower, through which to
extract acorns when wanted. Then it
fills up the stalks solidly and leaves its
stores there until needed, safe from the
depredations of any thievish bird or
four footed animal.
The first place in which this curious
habit was observed was on hill in
the midst of desert The hill was COW
cred with yuccas and magueys, but the
nearest oak trees were thirty miles
away, and so it was calculated, these
Industrious birds had to make flight
OF sixty miles for each acorn slowed
thus in the stalks.
An observer of birds remarks:
There are several strange features to
be noticed in these facts: the proEi-
dent instinct which prompts this bird
to lay by stores of provisions for the
winter, the great distance traversed to
collect a kind of food so unusual for
It's race, and its seeking in place so
remote from its natural abode a store
house so remarkable
Can instinct alone teach, or have ex-
perience and reason taught these birds
that, far better than the bark of trees
or crevices in rocks or any other hiding
place are these hidden cavities they
make for themselves with the hollow
stems of distant plants?
This we cannot answer. But we do
know that one of the most remarkable
birds in our country is this California
Woodpecker, and that he is well en-
titled to his Mexican name of ell car
pintero-the carpenter bird.-Ex-
