The Chinese are not on record. The

enjoy under the republic, and stand
by it,"

Mr.. Gilman gets very much sur

that "the Hawaiians are nearly a
unit in insisting that their national
life shall not be blotted out" and
says:
There is large contingent of Ha-
waiians who have Loyalty submitted
to the mild, uniform and progressive
republic. The entire police force,
one full military company, the
greater portion of the Protestant
pastors and school teachers, the
government officials, of which they
are many, make most respectable
minority, if not majority, OF the
pure Hawaiians.

strangers here and it is doubted
whether the Al Chinese who arrived
by the Coptic have ever seen Homo

the matter before another passport

1t is grotesque to have consul
seriously making the above state

would be able to do the work much quicker

Other contractors were also on hand and
protested mildly against the granting 0f
an extension The result was an argument
between the prospective bidders. Mr. Nc
Donald, who engineered many successful
undertakings of the kind and,wh has grown
old in the business, also protested, saying
that the time allowed contractors to bid
on such large contract was too short He
added that he, for one, and he had no doubt
there were several others, would be unable
to make an estimate owing to the limited
time.
The board did not appear to look with
any great favor on the proposition, andwere
inclined to believe that as the matter of
constructing tunnel had been discussed
for almost two years every contractor in
the city should be familiar with the propo-
sition. Another weak point in the protest
was the fact that only one contractor had
signed it. 1t was not the desire of the board,
however, to do anyone an injustice, not
even an unfortunate contractor, so the
board took the matter under advisement.

Fortunatus, Walter s. Hobart, one of the
vice presidents of the horse show, who has
from the first taken lively interest in the

will represent an expenditure OF $50, 900, from
which it can be seen the responsibility which
he assumes in shipping this valuable con-
signment to the Los Angeles horse show.
Besides large number of vehicles, from a
drag to pony cart, Mr. Hobart has named
at least thirty horses which he will bring.
These are all, with one OF two exceptions,
prize winners from the Madison Square
garden horse show in New York. In addi-

bring two or three hunters and two or three
ponies, including the famous jumper, Tad
pole, forty inches high, who jumps higher
than his head and has been star attrac-
ton at the horse shows in San Francisco at
which he has been exhibited.
Mr.. Hobart will bring with him some five
or six coaches, including his own hnd those

WAS NOT SUICIDE
Miss Bertha Grier Takes Poison
Accidentally

Sensational rumors on Boyle Heights
concerning the attempted suicide by poison
of Miss Bertha Grier, a l5-yearold school
girl, would seem to be greatly exaggerated.
Miss Grier lives with her foster-mother,
Mrs. j. S. Grer, at 2l37 Brooklyn avenue,
and was adopted by the latter when she was
, years old. Last Friday noon the girl had
prepared her mothers lunch and then gone
to medicine cupboard in which was bot
tie OF tonic that she had been in the habit
OF taking ON account of her naturally deli
cate constitution.
BY mistake she took down an unlabeled
bottle of carbolic acid and measured into a
teaspoolt what would have been a moderate
dose of her proper medicine. This she
gulped down, but, recognizing that she had
made a mistake, and feeling the painful
burning sensation, she ram over imme diateiy
TO her foster-brother's house, Herbert
Crier, who resides oil North Chicago street
in the rear of her own home. Mr.. Grier and
his wife were at lunch, but seeing by the
girls actions that something had occurred,
doctor was Immediately sent for and an
emetic administered.
Both Mrs. j. S. Grier and her daughter
iefused to see reporter last evening" but
Mrs. Herbert Grier stated that the story
as told in an evening paper, while substan-
TALLY correct in the facts, gave wrong
impression by pushing forward a theory of
suicide, when there was absolutely nothing
pointing to such a theory, and that the af-
fair was purely a mishap from beginning to
end.
Bertha is quite young g-looking for her
age said she, Sin fact, more like a girl OF
l2 or l3 than her actual age would lead peo-
pie to believe. She is girl of bright and
cheerful disposition and knd no reason to
any suicidal actions at all. She
has been brought up very quietly, has
happy home and, so far as companionship
is concerned, she rarely goes out to any
social functions, and has few friends other
than a few intimate school companions. We
have absolutely no other explanation to
offer than that of an unfortunate mistake,

FRANCHISES 90 OVER
Board of Public Works Fails to Pass
on the Subject

Owing to the absence of the petitioners,
the question of granting the Traction Street
Railway company franchise on Eleventh
street was continued for a week by the board
of public works yesterday. The board will
in all probability recommend that the re-
quest be denied, as the city attorney is of
the opinion that the statutes under which
the franchise could be granted are in ques-
tionable condition. In the event of the coun-
ciPs acting on this advice, the company will,
so its representatives have insinuated, COM
mence mandomus proceedings to test the
validity of the statutes.
In the matter of the opening of Bay street,
the board recommended that the city en-
gneer be directed to make survey and map
