CASE AGAIN IEAID Of GOOD COOKING
MEETING OF HOUSEHOLDERS
LEAGUE.
Much Correspondence With Relation to
Securing Competent Instructors for
the Proposed Cooking School

The directors of the Householder $
League held a called meeting this
morning in the Y. NJ. G.. A. hall to dis
cuss ways and means of raising funds
and increasing the membership of the
league. Mrs. ]. H. Soper presided and
Mrs. c. B. Cooper acted as secretary
pro TEN.
A number of suggestions were made
as to means for raising funds among
others that of a social tea or a social
fete of some kind. However these pro-
positions met with little favor and il
was voted to let the matter of raising
funds rest until the regular annual
meeting of the league which will be
held September Is.
AS to the matter of increasing the
membership 1t was decided that the
best way for the present would be for
each member to personally interest
other housekeepers i'm the objects and
work of the league, and 1t was resolved
that each director make an effort to
secure at least five new members by
the. time of the annual meeting.
The league is now in correspondence
with persons and organizations in diff
ferent parts of the states who are en-
gagged in similar work. There is an ac.
tive correspondence in reference to Sc.
curing women who would be competent
as instructors in the proposed schools
when organized. Full information OF
this point will be at hand for the an
nual meeting in September.
The Ladies of the league are enthu
siaste.
| The directors and officers of the
I league, all of whom were present this
morning, are Mrs. j. H. Soper, presi
dent; Mrs. T. r. Walker, vice-presi.
dent; Mrs j. osborne, treasurer; Mrs
| H. e. Coleman, secretary; Mrs. F. w
! Macfarlane, Mrs. NJ. c. Widdifield. Mrs
! w. C. Weldon, Mrs. NJ. BouissOn anC
! Mrs. C. B. Cooper. The directors hole
monthly meetings, the third Friday o
each month.
( The objects of the league are to organ
! ize and maintain schools to train Jap
anese, Chinese and other servants. Th
ladies thought that something must b.
| done and the league is the outcome.

Collier Brutus VIII Not Sail Until To-

Guam-The Yosemite.

Carrier pigeons are to be introduced
into Guam Lieutenant w. Il. Stafford
who is going there as deputy governor,
has in his collection of useful things to
be added to the flora and fauna of our
new possessions a number of carrier
pigeons. The capital of Guam Agana,
is about five miles from the port at
which vessels call There are no cleo
trio railroads in Guam yet, and it is not
known that there are any telephones.
Means of communication then, between
the capital and the port, become a vesy
important matter
The Yosemite, which is taking Cover
nor Leary to Guam, will be the station
ship in the port at Guam. The Brutus,
which is taking Deputy Governor SAT-
ford, will be the station collier. The
carrier pigeons will be used between
these two vessels in the harbor and the
government offices in the capital,
Agana. At least the experiment of US
| ing them will be tried. 1t will be an in
teresting experiment and one that from
| its official character will be watched
! with interest.
The harbor of Guam is not of char
acter to readily permit of the building
of wharves. Hence the Brutus will be
stationed there as a collier. She will
not get away before tomorrow, owing
to the fact that she broke a hosting
gaff and is having another made to re-
place it.
The Yosemite, which is one of the
vessels purchased during the war by the
government, was at Colombo some time
ago and is now probably very near
| Guam.

THE CAUSE OF LAVA FLOWS

Is His Suggestion Of Liquified Gases

EDITOR STAR:-In yesterdays Star
over the signature of S +. Bishop ap-
peared the following words: Whence
and what is the force which elects such
enormous quantities of molten rock
from the earth's interior with such
tremendous explosions" ?"
DR.. Bishop suggestions and theories
touching the solution of the problem
enunciated, appear to the writer faulty,
and not in accordance with facts.
A salient popularity of liquid or solid
gas is intense cold. DR.. Bishop, in the
letter quoted. speaking of the ejectment
of molten rock from the earth, says
the whole of the supeTheated, magma
or lava of the interior is lin his opin-
ion) saturated with condensed gases
under pressure, in liquid or solid form.
but ready to expand and effervesce
when the superintendent pressure is
removed"
1t being understood that the liquefy-
ing of gases is brought about by press
ure, coupled with a cooling process,
this latter being an essential condition
of liquefaction and, of necessity, car
ried to an intense degree. does 1t not
appear that DR.. Bishop must be rather
wide of the mark in suggesting as the
cause of volcanic eruptions. the pres
ence of condensed gases in liquid or
solid form, intimately associated with
the supeheated lava of the earth's in
terror.
Gases are understood to be non-lique-
| fable at high temperatures, and such
conditions obtaining. no amount of
/ pressure will liquefy them. A gas above
! it's critical temperature may be con-

than it's own liquid form, and yet re-
| tain it's gaseous condition and show no
| tendency to liquefy. The critical tenn
perature of hydrogen being about-935
| degrees, while the molten lavas of the
! earth's interior are calculated to have a
! temperature of very considerably above
| 2000 degrees c., ii appears difficult to
understand how DR.. Bishops views can
| be tenable. Rather does 1t appear that,
| the distinguished geologist Daubree, in
enunciating the theory of superheated
steam, as accounting for seismic phen-
omena in general. is more in accord
ance with observed facts, and it also
further appears that the same idea of

more fitting to explain the cause of vol

is AFTER MORE PROPERTY
GOVERNMENT DEALING FOR THE
DAVIES WAREHOUSE.
United States Wants the Big Storeroom
for Army Supplies-Exchange and a
Cash Bonus.

In the next few days the United
States Government will probably own
the big, new warehouse of Theo. H. Da-
vies & Company below the fishmar k
at the corner of Richards and Hale
kauwila streets.
This warehouse is on the corner of the
government reservation and breaks in
to what would be almost a square end
into the land. When the place was
condemned by President Mckinley it
was desired to include the warehouse
premises, but a snag was struck. II
was that, a few years ago the Hawaiian
Government leased the lot to Davies &
Company for thirty years, for an an
nual rental.
Just above this lot, or the five lots
included in the warehouse premises, is
another plot owned by the United
States, it having been condemned with
the naval slip. The plot is a large one
1t is above Halekauwila street directly
opposite the Sailors Home. The prop
osition OF the United States is to eX-
change this plot for the warehouse
premises, paying the difference in value
in cash, the government to pay to the
| Hawaiian Government the annual rem.
| tai collected from Davies & Company.
Commander Merry has asked the Ha.
| waiian Government is this arrangement
will be satisfactory. At the same time
negotiations are under satisfactory way
with Davies & Company and every
| thing indicates a deal.
| 1t is understood that the government
will use the big Warehouse for storing
commissary supplies. With the addi.
tional facilities it will be possible tC
keep here stores for the transports al

| timately be done.

They VIII be Used by The Call and
Return in That Way to the Islands.
Horace Wright's Letter

The following series of questions,
eight in number, have been forwarded
to some 300 of the principal citizens up
on the Islands. The information is be-
ing collected for the San Francisco Call.
w. Horace Wright the Call correspond
ent in note accompanying the ques-
tions says:
LAS the authorized local correspond
ent of the San Francisco Call l shall
esteem it a great privilege if you will
kindly favor me with your views on
| the questions enclosed herewith at as
an early date as convenient to you.
1T woud appear eminently proper
and of some Importance to our local in
| terests that an expression of represen-
! tative Hawaiian public opinion should
be candidly presented to the American
people prior to the consideration of any
| measures in Congress for the future
government of the Islands.
IF time and inclination permit please
answer all the questions. and if not
such as you feel disposed
The matter will be used entirely for
the San Francisco Call and not for the
local press
II can also promise that your replies
will be forwarded to the management
of the Call without any alteration on
my part"
The questions which accompany the
note are as follows:
l. What form of government is in
your opinion best suitable for the Ha-
waiian Islands?
2. Should the Judiciary-the Supreme
Court and the Circuit Court either or
both-be elective or appointive, and for
life or for term of years?
3. Do you favor the retention in Of
flee of the present Judiciary regarded
from the standpoint of principle o.
utility and apap from any personal
feeling?
4. Do you consider it to our best in
terests that the officers to be appointed
by the President of the United States
in the event of a Territorial form of
government, should be selected from the
residents of the (prOposed) Territory OIL
from the Mainland?
5. Would you prefer that the other
officers of the Territory should be APP
pointed by the Governor or elected by
the people?
6. Are you in favor of retaining the
penal contract labor laws? If not, have
you any suggestions to make in conneC,
ton herewith to protect the employers
of labor in their investments?
I. Have you any suggestions to max,
in regard to the labor problem of pro
curing sufficient labor for the needs o.
our plantations and other industries?
s. What is you opinion with regard

NEARLY CUT OFF HIS HEAD.
Paele Cuts His Throat From Ear to
Ear.


Paele, an old native whose mind has
lately become affected, committed sui
eide just before noon today by cutting
his throat from ear to ear.
Paele was a man of about fifty or fif-
ty-tive years of age. His wife died sew
eral years ago. His near relatives are
a daughter and several grand children.
For long time he had suffered a great
deal from hernia, and lately it had be-
gun to affect his mental balance. He
lived with distant relatives in a house
belonging to John Hilo in Kewalo near
the kerosene warehouse. Since he had
begun to show signs of mental unbal-
ance, Paele had been watched closely
But this morning he seemed so much
better that the watch was relaxed. He
was left alone in his room for about five
minutes when a sound as of body fall
ing was heard His daughter hurried
into the room from the Veranda and
found him lying on the floor with his
head almost severed from his body. the
clothing and floor drenched with blood
and the walls spattered with it. Lying
open on the floor in pool of blood, was
white handled razor, with which the
deed was committed. Life was soor
extinct.
The police were notified and Deputy
Marshal Chillingworth at once respond
| ed. He saw 1t was a case for his ser
| vices as coroner, and at once impanell
ed the following jury: John Kuaana
| John Noble, S. Kalola, Benito Guerrero
S. NJ. Kekuewa and 7. Hiona. The In
quest was begun at 1:30 o'clock at tn,

MORE OF THEM USED.

There are probably more Singer sew
ing machines used in the United States
than of any other one make. This is a
very excellent guarantee that they are
one of the very best machines. The
points of merit are strength, durabil-
ity, easy running and simple construc-
tion. Very little mechanism to get out
of order makes repair bills small.
When IN need of new sewing ma
chine examine the Singer before pur-
chasing any other make. b. Berger
