WHERE IS LEUNG CHFISOl
LOCAL BOW WONGS ALARMED
FOR HIS SAFETY.
He Has Not Written to Them Since
He Started to Join the Allies in
China.

Considerable anxiety is being felt by
the Chinese reformers of this city over
the fate of Leung Chi-tso their young
leader. They have heard nothing from
him since he left Japan to go to China
over a month ago and great fears are
entertained that he may have fallen in
to the hands of his enemies or some
other fate have overtaken him.
When he last wrote to the local So
ciety the young reformer was going to
join the Japanese army in China. He
wrote but a short note on the occasion
of his departure but promised to write
more fully as soon as he reached China.
He has failed however to do this. Some
of the reformers think that he may
have been taken sick or even been as
sassinated. When they last heard from
him indirectly he was said to be in Tien
Tsin. Being in such proximity to Pc
king it was said by some that he had
accompanied the Allies to the capital
but others thought that he would
scarcely trust himself so close to the
adherents of the Empress Dowager,
even though she was in full flight be-
fore the allied troops.
Mr.. Lam Sal, the secretary of the
Bow Wongs left by the Nippon Maru
last week to attend a conference of re-
form leaders in Japan where he would
it was hoped, meet Leung. The Bow
Wongs apprehend now that Leung VIII
not be able to return to Japan in time
to attend this gathering. His silence
has had a very depressing effect upon
The rAiormers here for they have re-
| ceived no advices from him for four ol
five steamers past. 1t was thought GER
tain that the America Maru would
bring some word from him but the
same silence followed that boat. Now
the reformers are placing their trust
in the Peking which is due on the 9th
from China. If no word is received
then from Leung the reformers will
probably communicate with some othel
| leaders in China and Japan and try t.
ascertain the reason for the long silence
| of the young man.

.THE NEW CEMETERY SITE IH MAN GERMANY WANTS
ALLEGED MURDERER OF BARON
KITTLER.
A Chinese Arrested in Peking Said to
Have Had the German Minister'S
Watch.

YOKOHAMA, Japan, September 22.-
The Nippon publishes a detailed ac-
count of the arrest by the Japanese in
Peking of the Chinaman who murdered
the late Boran Won Kettler, the German
Minister in Peking.
On the 7th inst, a police constable
on his beat noticed a Chinaman trying
to sell a gold watch apparently of great
value. He thereupon arrested the man
who, on being examined, confessed that
he was a private belonging to the force
under Prince Chuang mot Prince Tuan)
and also that the watch which he car
ried with him, was the property of the
late German Minister.
The man was ordered to take off his
clothes, on examination of which a
secret letter given to him by Prince
Chuang was discovered. This was
nothing less than an order to attack
the German Minister on his way to the
Yamen with the addition that the Min
lister and his followers must not be al
lowed to make their escape.
The prisoner was delivered soon af-
terwards to the commander of the Ger
man troops.

THE BLIND REGISTER.
Busy Time Today for the Board OF
Registration.

There were large number Of citizens
awaiting registration this morning
when the Board of Registration went
into session and forty or fifty names
We're put on the great register in short
order. Among the applicants for re-
gistration was an unusually large pro-
portion from places on the Island out
side of Honolulu.
Everyone on this Island, no matter on
what part of 1T they live, who have not
registered will now have to come TO
Honolulu to register for the Board will
hold no sessions anywhere else. 1t will
continue to sit daily from now to Oc-
tober 10, from 10 a. m. to p. m, and
from p. m. to 8 p. m.
Among applicants for registration
there have been several blind men. In
the case of these their disability is
marked on the registration record and
will appear on the Great Register, and
at the polls they will be entitled to have
assistance in marking their ballots
UP to o'clock today the total regis
tration for the Island was about 4,S00
From this the total number of register
ed voters on the Island of oahu will
probably be 5000 or even considerably
over.

RAPID TRANsITs PROPOSITION Is
ALL RIGHT.
Will Form Association, Conduct Burial
Grounds, Put on Cars and Give Good
Terms to Everybody.

The cemetery project in it's fullness
is simply waiting certain surveys to be
made by w. e. Wall, following which
it will go right ahead. Mr.. Wall is just
now engaged upon some work for the
United States government and can not
complete the cemetery surveys until
he is through. In the meanwhile num-
Der of holes will be dug in all parts OF
the tract to determine the depth of the
soil, though this has already been prac-
tically determined by rain fissures and
the appearance of trees on the land.
The government is greatly pleased
with the proposal of the Rapid Transit
Company to take entire charge of the
cemetery. 1t seems to it fairer than any
proposal yet examined and bids fair to
work out to the advantage Of every
body. In view of the facilities the line
naturally has, it will be able to meet
it's obligation to the advantage of the
public and even then make money. The
people who will lose by the project are
the undertakers and hackmen.
The Rapid Transit people propose to
form cemetery association to take
over and conduct the cemetery on rea-
sonable terms. Having 100 acres there
will be ample room for high priced
plots plots for religious organizations,
lodges, military organizations and the
poor. 1t is purposed to divide the tract
so as to give all of these advantageous
locations.
The company proposes to put on two
funeral cars. One will be fine affair,
carrying the casket and twenty-five
people. The cost of transporting a fu-
neral party in this car from any part
of the city to the cemetery and return
of the people will be $25. This is less
than the present cost of a hearse and
carriages. A second car, designed es-
pecially for people unable to pay so
much, will be run great deal cheaper.
1t has been discovered that the Hala-
wa cemetery project can not be carried
out. Whether intentional or otherwise
clause has been inserted in a lease of
property down there which shuts out
the government from taking the land
the Bishop Estate had decided to give
and intended to give for cemetery pur-
poses.

Observation-Disclosures no PUNISH THE VbNDALS.
GOVERNMENT is HARD AFTER
TREE THIEVES.
Tourists Who Carry Off Nuuanu Valley
Plants May Hear Something Drop.
Notices Posted UP.

The bureau of agriculture has big
kick coming against people, especially
tourists, who have been playing havoc
with the new forest established in Nuu-
anu valley. These vandals who visit the
Pail have gotten in the habit of stop
ping in the forest and deliberately pull
ing - the fine young treees there and
bringing them into town. A very large
number have been destroyed in this
way. Just what they want with the
trees is somewhat of a problem, though
it is supposed the leaves are pretty and
unusual and they are taken away as
curios.
Wray Taylor, superintendent of agri-
culture, followed up one tree thief few
days ago and gave him lecture that he
will not forget. After visiting the Pail
this man stopped in the government
forest, pulled up a dozen or more young
trees and brought them to town. Taylor
found his man at the Hawaiian hotel
and gave him not more than he richly
deserved.
The Nuuanu forest is being cultivated
at immense expense for a great, big
purpose. 1t will not only conserve the
water supply of the city but will in time
afford most beautiful and enchanting
resort for people from the crowded CEN
ters, The trees were set out from two
to two and a half year ago and are
therefore getting up to be good sized
saplings Since planting they have been
carefully cultivated.
Before leaving Honolulu some weeks
ago Prof. Stubbs said: 'I consider the
Nuuanu forest project a most import
ant one. Let everybody unite to make
it a success. The advantages to be
accrued from strong forest in that
location can not be over estimated"
The Government has decided and to-
day put up three notices on the Pail
road bordering the forests warning the
public against trespassing upon the re-
serve. 1t is the intention to have no
more funny business" about it but to
make arrests in case of invasion of the
forest and to prosecute offenders to the
limit of the law.

Of A LANDMARK FOR FOREST PRESERVES
GOV. DOLE TO RESERVE LAND ON
HAWAII
Executive Says that Little Can be done
Until Leases on Various Pasture
Lands Have Expired.

The necessity for preserving the
forests of the Territory is a matter
which was called to the attention of
Governor Dole and Commissioner Tay-
lor in positive fashion recently Pro-
fessor Koebele presented last week a
report of his Investigations on Hawaii
nu said tnat the cattle were a menace
to the forests and had in many cases
destroyed large number of the trees.
Professor Koebele expressed the opinion
that it would be far more profitable to
the government to lose many times the
sum which the rental from those pas
ture lands brought than to risk losing
the forests of the islands.
While no action has as yet been taken
on this part of the report. Governor
Dole has given the case considerable
attention and has about come ~ the
opinion that some steps must be taken
to curtail the use of public lands for
pasturage where there is any d?nger of
the cattle injuring the trees.
There are a great many ranches
leased for pasturage purposes" said
Governor Dole, land it will not be feasi-
BILE for the government to do anything
with some of the leases for the reason
that they will not expire for many years
For instance Professor Koebele refers
to conditions on the Puuwaawaa ranch
which is on the slope of Hualalai, Ha-
wall. This lease runs for twenty years.
The lessees made certain agreements
regarding the preservation of the forests
and promised to plant trees in certain
sections an agreement which 1 believe
they have complied with So IL they
continue to abide by these conditions
governing the forests it will ne iiipos-
sible to take any steps towards securing
the land Immediately adjoining this
ranch toward Waimea is a large tract
of government land which 1 have about
decided to reserve for forestry pur-
poses.
"There are number of other leases
of public lands which will expire from
time to time and in all probdh'ity the
Executive will decide to res erve a por-
tion of the forests of each district be-
fore granting any new lease of the pro-
perty."
Forestry Commissioner Way Taylor
thinks that some thing should be done
to preserve the forests and when Fro
fessor Koebele returns from his PRESENT
trip. Commissioned Taylor will consult
with him regarding the destruction
wrought by the cattle. Mr.. Taylor says
that he will bring the matter ID .he at
tention of Governor Dole and consult
with the executive about What is best
to be done.

SELLS ALCOHOL FREELY
BENSON, SMITH & COMPANY IN
COURT AGAIN.
George w. Smith Contends That He
Has a Right to Sell Alcohol--A Test
Case.

George w Smith, of Benson, Smith
and Company, was again called into
the police court this morning to answer
to charge of selling alcohol without a
license. 1t was a test case, as High
Sheriff Brown stated, to settle the ques-
ton of whether the company has a
right to sell alcohol under methylated
spirits license.
The same firm was brought into court
few weeks ago and Judge Wilcox i'm
posed fine of $25. In the circuit court
Judge Humphreys threw out the case
because the complaint did not state to
whom the spirits had been sold. This
time High Sheriff Brown had a COM
plant made out in due form, stating
that alcohol had been sold to Bergen
who went on the witness stand and told
about buying it.
Arthur Wilder appeared for the de-
fendant. He made no defense and offer
ed no objections when Mr. Smith was
asked all about how alcohol was sold
at the Benson, Smith place. Mr.. Smith
gave the principal testimony against
himself. He swore that he was selling
alcohol quite freely, though his license
allowed him to sell it to physicians
| only, or on the order of a physician.
The manager of the Benson, Smith
company plainly told the judge from
the stand that he was violating the let
! ter of the license.
! 1t is claimed by the drug company
| that under the new conditions the me-
thylated spirits license applies to pure
alcohol. The licenses allow the sale OF
methylated spirits but not pure alco-
hol to ordinary customers. Since the
Hawaiian custom house was abolished
with Its supervision over the methy-
lating of spirits, there is no legal way
in which the methylating of spirits car
be accomplished, without paying fol
an expensive refiner's license, and il
is claimed that Congress cannot have
intended that only physicians should be
| allowed to buy alcohol.
Smith testified that his firm did moi
sell any methylated spirits at all, bu
he was selling pure alcohol freely, II
accordance with his views of the mean
ing of the law.
"It is test case" said High Sheriff
Brown, in submitting the issue to thu
judge "Mr. Smith claims that his view
is right and the police department doe
not think 50, and this case affords op
portunity to settle the matter"
Judge Wilcox said that upon the evi
dence offered he would impose a. fin
of $25, and an appeal was noted.

JAMES REED INJURED.

Mr.. James Reed, struck his leg
against a cake of ice in such a manner
as to bruise it severely. 1t became very
much swollen and panied him so badly
that he could not walk without the aid
of crutches. He was treated by physi-
clans, also used several kinds of lini-
ment and two and a half gallons of
whiskey in bathing it, but nothing gave
any relief until he began using Cham
berlain's Pain Balm. This brought al
most a complete cure in a weeks time
and he believes that had he not used
this remedy his leg would have had tc
be amputated. Mr. Reed is one of the
w. Va. Pain Balm is unequaled for
sprains, bruises and rheumatism. Fol

PASSENGER RATES RISE.

have been raised by the local steamship
companies. The raise is from $25 to
$50, and it went into effect on the first
of this month. All the steerage pas
sengers who went on the Australia this
month paid $50 for their tickets. The
steamship companies for which Hack
field 6; Company are agents have made
the same advance. Recently there has
been very heavy steerage travel both
ways, on the passenger steamers be-
tween Honolulu and San Francisco,
and it is stated that the big increase in
the number of people wanting accom-
modations is the reason for the ad-
vance,

TRUANTS.
Many Boys of School Age Along the
Water Front.

People who have business at the
wharves and along the water front call
attention to the large number of boys
of school age who are constantly
around the wharves during school
hours. Many of them are there, es-
pecially on steamer days, ostensibly to
earn honest dimes and quarters by
holding horses and carrying luggage.
But there are numbers of them there
at times when there are no steamers
arriving or departing. They may be
seen in crowds and squads, sometimes
gambling and sometimes engaged in
less vicious occupations. The Star has
been requested by number of people
to call attention to their presence and
to suggest that the truant officers give
this region and these boys their atten-
tion.
