WAS REFUSED
Education Must Rest
For a While.
Minister MOtt-Smith Not Permitted
to Forward School Books to
the Other Islands.

There is more need for food on the
other islands than for school books, :"
was the general expression of members
of the Board of Health yesterday, upon
which was based their refusal for per-
mission to make a shipment of school
books, desks, crayon, and all manner
of educational stationery, as requested
by Minister MOtt-Smith. The Board
of Health fatty, and in so many words,
passed it's ultimatum to the Govern
ment, that it had no more rights or
privileges in times like these than an
ordinary Chinese corner store.
The refusal grew out of the request
of the Educational Department to
make such shipments to schools on
the other islands, as this was the time
of the year in which changes in stud
les took place and newer and more
advanced text books were needed to
carry on the work. Under these condi-
tons the Educational Department felt
there was absolute need for the liter
AZURE to go forward; otherwise the
schools might be compelled to close.
Inasmuch as an appeal to ship food
stuffs had been refused to certain COM
munities that were reported as being
almost on the verge of starvation, the
request to have the books and desks
go forward as being absolute necessi-
ties was somewhat inopportune, and
the refusal was not long in following
The Board is determined to make no
distinctions In refusing permission to
make shipments of classes OF goods
they consider are carriers OF infection,
and the less the shipments the less
chance there will be to infect the 9TH
er island ports. The Board would de-
sire nothing better than to prevent
any vessel from leaving Honolulu des-
tined to another island in the group.
81 consider food for the stomach far
more essential than food for the brain
at this time" said President Wood of
the Board

Owing to the rumors started when
Ethel johnson died Of the plague that
the girl was a sufferer from a name

refused to let them depart on their

self quite ready to do what he could to

Marshal su Impeached.

HONGKONG, Jan. 1.-THE imPeach-
ment of Marshal Su by Ii Ping Heng
on the charge of conceding too much
to the French at Kwangchauwan has
resulted in the Marshal's being de-
pTived Of his Grand COmmissionership
and his army corps command at Using
kiangpu, pending investigation. twill
be remembered that being a persona
grata with the French, he was sent
down with plenary power to settle the
French demands, but even so when the
French demanded Natao Island he wir-
ed to the Empress Dowager for instruc-
tions. The Tsungli Yamen having
been informed by the Chinese Minister
at Paris that the French Government
meant business, Marshal Su was in
structed to do whatever was necessary
to prevent the French going to war.
The only course open to the Marshal
was to concede what France demanded.
Now the high authorities at Picking be-
ing afraid of the obloquy which an
other cession of territory will bring
upon them have made Marshal Su their
scapegoat; but if the country generally
passes over the matter. the Marshal
will probably be reinstated after a
short interval.

HOLE IN THE GROUND,
Air b Drawn Ia Six Hous and Then
Expelled.

cxpelleos
A gentleman who recently made q trip
to Wapani,a. a little town about 50 miles
from The Dalles, tells Of a peculiar freak
Of nature, in the form OF a small, deep
hole In the ground on the farm Of Van
Woodruff. from which the air rushes with
such great force that at times II can be
heard distance Of over a quarter Of q
mile. For a period Of six hours the air Is
forced ont Of this hole, and then for sim.
liar length Of time II Is with great force
drawn back again, and so on without
cessation.
About ten years ago an old man, Hamp.
ton Key, now dead, who owned the farm,
bored for we'll and on reaching a depth
OF ITO feet, the drill suddenly and without
any warning, fell for a considerable dis.
tancr, and II was found that large cavity
had been struck, and the air rushed from
the hole with tremendous force. From
that day TO this the air has continued,
hour by hour and day by day. unceasing.
" and with regularity to be forced out for
six hours and then drawn In for like
period OF six hours, never failing, never
diminishing. At times the air rushes
with greater force, roar and weird sound
than at others, and the old settlers there
say that whenever this happens a great
change in the weather takes place or
storm invariably follows. and for years
old Hampton Key was able to predict a
storm or change Of weather, and II was
found more reliable than barometer, and
when great storm was predicted every.
body prepared for II. The temperature at
the mouth of the hole Is always the same,
about 81 degrees In winter and summer.
Years ago the owner, always experiment.

pipe and run II into . milkhouse and in

Another electric railway company in

Such line as proposed by the Della

April Appropriation for Schools
Not Yet Passed by
Council.
MAY HAVE TO BORROW MONEY
Council Will Make an Effort To-
night to Raise the Money. Money
May Have to be Raised at
M Banking Rates. Which
Body Shall DO 1t?

Quite a sensation has been created
abont town by the fact that the Board OF
Education has not money enough to pay
the teachers and janitors their salaries
for March. Nor is it known when it will
have the money.
Members of the Board of Education
say City Council is to blame because il
did not grant the April appropriation Of
l2,920.0l last Thursday night. Council,
, however, was unable to do so as it had
balance OF only $3,6l6.2l. Nothing was
said about the matter and it was allowed
togo over with the expectation that
there would be more money at hand at
the meeting which will be held tonight
The matter was discussed by council
men at the caucus OF Councii last night.
The prospects Of Council being able to
pass the appropriation at tanisnJ's meet
ing are said to be poor. 1t is believed,
\ however, that there will not be enough
money on hand. 1t was predicted last
night that the matter would have to so
over another week Councilmen seem
TO think that ii the Board OF Education
has money 10 build large high schools il
should also have to pay its teachers and
janitors. Other couneimen think the
(. Board OF Education ought to 60 into
bank and borrow tie money and should
not expect Council to do it.
Some members OF the Board OF T. luca
tion favor borrowing the money, and, in
case Council delays too long, this may
have to be done. The matter OF the ap.
propriation will, ho Sever, be discussed
y at tonight's meeting and some arrange
ment made for its paymeat, il at all pos
sible.
1t was reported last night that it was
merely matter Of either Council or the
Board of Education borrowing the
money and paying banking rates for it
