WHEN BUILT


The bridge was built i'm 1891. of the
best material, for which the best price
was paid. In speaking . the landed
right of the company. ne said that
Lovett avenue was dedicated subject TO
the rights of the Bridge Company.
No land company had raised any
question as to the existence Of tho
bridge While ii has been toll bridge.
it has been OF great convenience to the
public. The only question rs to the
charges Of the Bridge Company was
when the School Commissioners asked
that all the children who attended
the High School should he allowed to
pass over the bridge free. This request
WAS refused because it would be unjust
to do so unless the children from Bran
bleton who attend schools in Norfolk
were allowed 10 pass over the bridge
free. lie. however. gave the school
children \ special rate Of twenty cents
per month.
THE PRICE NOT ENOUGH.
In reply to a question from Mr..
Cousins, Capt. Old said he did not think
the price named $4,000 was enough
for the bridge.
Mr. Cousins, at this point, interrupted
Captain Old To say that If a vote was
taken he thought the people would vote
for the Mariner street route.
Captain Old continuing. said "I do
not agree WITH yUTT. II rirUrT- " IT rr7r

city had to build n bridge / think it
would build from the end of Holt
street.
Mr. Cousins asked what the franchise
cost.
Captain Old said we paid what other
franchises cost. We paid for organiz-
ing the company and building the
bridge.
Mr.. Cousins-"Don't You think we
could put up n bridge as good for
$7,O00?"
Mr.; old-"I do not know. Tha; was
not Mr.. Brooke's estimate"
a LONG TIME.
Referring to the Mariner street route.
Mr.. Cousins said it could be filled in
for $4,000.
Yes" replied Mr.. Old. "but You will
be Il long time making that bridge"
Mr. Old thought that If the new
bridge was built, and the old one re-
NAMED. that on account of the desirr
bliiy OF the Holt street route. its bust
ness would pay ner cent on $1,000.
In reply TO Mr.. Marx Mr.. ola said
his stockholders had only had one
meeting since the committee was an
pointed, and that the COMMITTEES after
naming price. had gone ahead with
cut giving tham a chance to reply.
In reply to City Attorney Taylor. Ar,
Old said he was not prepared to name
J price that the bridge company would
take.
Mr. Jacobs said that if Mr.. Ola would
accept $1,000 ae a member of the COM
mi;tee he would vote for ii.
COULD NOT ACCEPT.
Mr. old did not feel JUSTIFIED in ac-
cepting that amount. certainly. without
consultation with his stockholders
Mr.. Jacobs There is only one thing
for the company TO do: accept s.. 600. or

the building OF a new bridge at Mariner

LIST OF BURIALS SINCE THE
YEAR 1912.
Nuuanu Cemetery Trustees Put Affairs
in order-How it is Proposed to Build
a Crematory.

THE trustees of the Nuuanu Gene
terry Association have done some hard
work during the past year." said George
X. Carter this morning. You have no
ioea what a condition the affairs were
in. Why the records had never been
written up for 1S years, lots had been
sold twice over, others were claimed
and people had no receipts for them.
However everything has now been
Strengthened out, but IL it had not been
for the excellent memory of David
Dayton, and his wonderful personal
familiarity with the history OF the
towns people, l doubt If a satisfactory
arrangement could have-been reached.
We have now a complete list, ar
ranged alphabetically, of all burials
that have taken place since the year
1912, and have correct record OF all
private lot owners. To do this required
a great amount of care and research,
especially where there were two claim
ants for the same lot.
"The burials this last year have been
1O2 in number of which 81 were of
strangers to the Islands. There has
never been so large a percentage of
strangers in the history of the ceme-
| terry. We have only small quantity OF
available land left and it must be evil

ALWAYS READY.

Frederick the Great once requested
his generals to submit to him plans of
campaign for a supposititious case.
Hans Joachim Won Ziethen, the famous
cavalry general, produced queer dia-
gram in black ink. 1t represented big
blot in the center, intersected by two
black lines, whose four terminals ended
each in a smaller blot. The king was
furious and upbraided his old comrade
in arms bitterly for what he considered
disrespect. In explanation Won Ziethen
said: why, your majesty, l am the
large blot in the center-the enemy Is
any one of the four smaller blots. He
can march upon me from the right or
the left, from the front or the rear. If
he does | simply advance upon any of

ADMINISTRATORS OF KAPIoLANt
ESTATE.
Distant Relatives Contest Petition But
Fail to Make a Go of lt--Several Es-
tate Accounts.

David Kawananakoa and Jonah Ka-
lanlanaole were today appointed ad-
ministrators of the estate of the late
Dowager Queen Kapiolani Their petit
tion was contested, by a number of ma
tiVes from all parts of the Islands who
claim relationship and an interest in
the estate. OF the number a great
niece was the nearest relation to ap-
pear and Judge Perry ruled that the
two full nephews took precedence.
Indications are that there will be
claims and perhaps suits for a portion
of the property by these relations At
the same time, however. as pointed out
by the court, the will is very explicit
and deeds the property bodily to the
two princes.
The Government lost the first two
cases heard in Circuit Court by the for
eign jury. which is precisely the ex-
perience with the native jury two
weeks ago. Yesterday Leong Tai, the
Waialua merchant charged with having
opium in possession and fined 5000 in
the District Court, was acquitted Still
later Kong Tai. charged with assault
and battery was also acquitted. Both
of the matters came from Waialua.

WORD FROM OPPOSITION RECORDS gAGEN TIE PRINCES APPOINTED HANAD HE LAYERS GYMNASIUM FOR LADIES
ONE TO BE STARTED At THE
Y. NJ. G. A.
Instructor to be Miss Adams, One Of the
Most Experienced Physical Trainers
of the United States

Miss Adams, sister of T.. II. Adams,
will establish and conduct in the Y. NJ.
G. A. gymnasium here a school for the
physical training of young ladies. The
school will be nominally under the hand
of the association, and the work will
be encouraged as much as possible.
Miss Adams is a graduate of one of the
first physical culture institutions of the
mainland and has had extensive eXper-
ience as an instructor.
A ladies gymnasium here will be a.
novelty, but will doubtless be well re-
ceived. In the East many Y. NJ. c. AS
operate them in connection with the
boys gymnasium. At the meeting of
directors of the local association last
evening the idea was generally endors-
ed.
Mr. Coates the new assistant secre-
tary of the Y. NJ c. \. will arrive ON
September 13. A reception will be ten
dered to him shortly after, perhaps the
same evening.
ON account of the absence of Mr..
Coleman on vacation there was no re-
port from the secretary at last nights
meeting. The treasurer's report was
, submitted and deferred.
President Weedon reported on his
trip East and the meeting at Grand
Rapids. He said that he told the ma
tiOnal delegates that that Honolulu Y.
NJ. c. a. had celebrated its 30th ami
verasry and had not a cent of debt. All
were astounded at this. AT the time the
speech vas made Grand Rapids Y. M.

! tion closed had cleared off all the debt.

! w. Helm, a prominent Y. NJ. G. A.
worker, would shortly arrive here, ac-
companed by his bride. on his way to
Japan on some special mission. The
directors decided to make him the guest
! of the association while here.

THE COMPANY AT THE OPERA
HOUSE TONIGHT.
Maggie Moore and II. X. Roberts With
Their Company Arrived by the Ala
meda-Opening Performance Tonight.

A woman who has been pronounced
stage success in three continents Grriv-
ed by the Alameda from sydney last
night, and before she returns to her
home she intends to attempt success
on a fourth.
That woman is Miss Maggie Moore.
with II. II. Roberts she is at the head
of a company of sixteen well selected
and capable people on tour that will
include America, part of Europe and
the Suzerainty of Sir Cecil Rhodes,
South Africa. Miss Moore was born IN
San Francisco anI began her stage ca
reer at a time when the rough and
ready as well as the adventurous and
romantic spirit still predomnated in
California. Her first success was in

will open their season tonight in HO-
nolulu 1t is piece which so thorough
ly presents the spirit of the times in
which it was written and the human
nature of all times that it has never
been displaced from her repertory Miss
Moore acknowledges a fondness for the
character she created in the play, even
though her wide experience has made
her familiar with all that is worth while
in the modern drama.
But Miss Moore does not need to rest
on early won laurels. Throughout her
career she has kept up with the ylay-
wrghts. She has created parts in dra-
mas written by as great diversity of
| method and talent as those of Gilbert
and Sullivan, Bouccicault, Pinero and
! Ibsen. She has presented Shakespearean
| characters and those of the early Eng
! ish dramatists with success.
She has the rare combination Of tall
+ erts which make her at once the sue
cessful actress and the successful wo-
man of affairs 1t is not every sue
cessful theatrical manager would make
/ the venture of taking Il company from
/ Australia for tour of the world. But
I that is what she has done, and her pas
! achievements justify her judgment.
| II. r. Roberts, whose name goes in
the same sized type as hers on the
company's paper is an actor who has
yet to achieve success outside of his
native country, Australia. But there
he easily ranks the profession in scope
of achievement and versatility of tai

MAUNALEI PLANTATION.
Planting Commenced-Dee Soil on the
Palawai Estate.

Fred Hayselden is down from Maui
and reports that planting will com
mencc in earnest at Maunalei next
Monday II is expected that some 900
acres will be put in within the next
few weeks. All the machinery for the
pumps will soon be on hand, having
been shipped by the Andrew WEIGH,
which is expected any day. The pump
ing plant will have capacity of 0,O00
gallons. The landing wharf is quite
complete and trains are running upon
ii.
Mr.. Hayselden accompanied Senator
Clark when he visited Lanai and show
ed him some of the many natural adj
Vantages of the Islands. A shaft lad
been sunk in Palawai for 20 feet, and
there was not a rock or a stone in 1t.
This gave the senator some idea of the
soil on the estate.
The Maunalei plantation expects "a
harvest a crop next year and counts
upon making a record with it's yield
per acre.
