ACHI PROTESTS.
Wants Reason and Common Sense to
Have Sway.

EDITOR STAR:-During this time
of trouble / believe IL every mans duty
to speak and act for the public good.
But 1t is equally important for the pub
lie good that the words and acts of
those who profess to speak and act as
having authority, should be weighed by
common sense.
One physician processing to speak
thus, Is reported to have said that "the
area bounded by Queen, Nuuanu, River
and Kukui streets should be laid bare
and no buildings put up on 1t for a
year" Does he mean this literally, or
is he simply taking advantage of the
strong feeling under which the COM
munity is laboring, to make himself
seem it's liberator or prophet? There
are many brick and stone buildings in
this area which are built on as thor
oughly sanitary principles as any that
will take their place after this year of
barrenness. Shall they be destroyed? AS
to many of them, certainly nothing
from a sanitary point of view can be
gained by destroying them. Kaumaka-
pill church is within this area. Shall it
too be burned? l think the doctor who
made that statement would hardly dare
repeat it If he knew the community
understood that he included that build
ing with the rest.
The Hawaii Land Company, a cor
poration composed mostly of poor Ha-
waiians, bought the land and built the
good, substantial building at the east
corner of River and Pauahi streets.
That building is one of the best if not
the best wooden building in Chinatown.
I believe it will be found to have been
we'll built, from a sanitary point Of
view. Is there any reason and common
sense in the matter of destroying build
ings for sanitary ends? or is it just a
wild mania for destruction?
1t is true that the life of the people
must be protected, bat so must their
liberty, and that without which neither
life nor liberty can be maintained, the
right to the fruits of their labor and
toll. Would that doctor make the state
ment he did if it meant to him the loss
of $3.50 a month in rentals?
Very truly,
w. c. ACHI.

Spanish public men assert that the
loss Of Its colonial possessions has con
tributed to the prosperity and strength
Of Spain. Since peace was declared
and friendly relations have been re-es-
tablished with the United States the
material progress Of Spain has been re-
markable. Not only have the larger
cities experienced change for the bet
ter, but places Of less Importance
throughout the kingdom have shown
wonderful increase In manufacturing
industries. Commerce In general has
been making rapid progress, and that
between Spain and the United States
during the past year has been greater
than at any time since 1884. From

duced to insure her life and transfer the
policy to her betrothed husband. Then
she dies under peculiarly suspicious
circumstances that point to the bene.
ilciary under the policy transfer, and
the insurance companies resist pay
ment upon the assumption that she has
been murdered In order to defraiid
them. The lover and q practlcing ply.
stefan Is placed under arrest. 1t Is then
shown that there was conspiracy
formed by three or four more, two OF
whom were detectives, Of whom one Is
In custody. Then, as was to he ex-
pccted, the whole case was revealed.
and the detective, to save his miserable
life. "squealcd." From what has been
revealed the crime was hcartlcss and
deliberate beyond credence. The girl
was made the object OF special attcn-
ton before she was led to engage her.
self to the man chosen to fill the role or
lover. He deliberately won her heart
and confidence, and It was therefore no
mere opportunity that led the rascals
to commit their Infamous deed. They
planned the crime first, ana then went
out to seek u victim Qnd found her In
IN innocent and respectable young
woman, whose life was sacrificed In
cold blood and for the most sordld pur-
poses.
