WANTS MATERIAL WITNESS.

Judge Humphreys this morning is
sued an order to High Sheriff Brown to
arrest a Japanese named Mita aud hold
him until he deposits bonds in the sum
of $1,000 for his appearance before the
August term of the Circuit Court. 1t
appears that Mita is a material witness
in the case of Amimoto, the kaEuku
japanese charged with murder, and
there are strong reasons to suspect that
he will either go into hiding or leave the
country to avoid giving evidence. In
an affidavit filed with motion of the
Attorney General, High Sheriff Brown
states that Mita is a close friend of the
accused and that unless he is held will
fail to give the facts known to him.
Henry Smith, clerk of the Supreme
Court has addressed a letter to the
Auditor General in regard to the pay
of grand jurors. 1t appears that Ha-
waiian law provides for the pay of trial
jurors only, and while the Hawaiian
bill provides for grand juries there is
no provision therein for their pay. 1t is
assumed that pay is implied, but the
clerk of the court wishes positive
statement from the Auditor General on
the point.
The Kamalo case has been on in full
swing before Judge Humphreys today,
and by the way it was conducted, one
could hardly see any olive branches or
love feasts between the respective liti-
gants 1t was reported some days ago
that both sides were satisfied, and that
the suit would be dropped. Not so. The
new Kamalo directorate wants all out
of the old directorate that was claimed
in the first place. w. A. Henshall,
George A. Davis and Paul Neumann
appeared today for the. new directorate;
A. G.. M Robertson represented the
respondents in the cause.
The court has shifted the blame for
the August term juries upon High Sher-
iff Brown. There has been some COM
plant from natives that they are not
properly represented. The chief clerk
of the court pointed out to the inter-
viewers today that under the new law
the High Sheriff draws the juries.

NEW MANSION FOR IALLEY

Beardslee & Page, the architects, with
offices in the Arlington Annex on Hotel
street, have prepared plans for a splen-
did residence for e. FaXon Bishop, to
go on the premises of that gentleman in
Nuuanu Valley. The building will set
a little in rear of the site of the old
home which was burned a few months
ago. 1t will cost $4,000.
The new building will be of wood. Its
most conspicuous exterior point lies in
its verandas and arrangements for out
door .iving. On the top is a sort of con-
servatory and roof garden. The front
elevation will be one of the most at
tractive in the valley
Mr.. Beardslee is the contractor for
the building. There will be two super
intendents of the work, one being MI
Page of the architectural firm, and the
other John Ouderkirk The latter will
do the practical business of building,
while the former will attend to the car
ryng out of the plans and ideas to the
letter. Work on the foundation has
already begun.
Mr.. Bishops old house was myster-
iously burned some months ago while
the family was away The fire depart
ment arrived on the scene, but on ac-
count of the scarcity of water in Nuu-
anu Valley. could do nothing. The new
building will be much finer and costlier
than the old.

JUNIORS START FOR CAMP.
They VIII Gather Land Shells While
Away.

The juniors of the Y. M. c. A. left
yesterday morning for Manoa Valley
for their two weeks camping vacation.
1t is the intention of the crowd to make
this the most enjoyable trip of the kind
ever made to that valley. Several days
ago the floors were laid and the party
took the tents with them yesterday, to-
gether with a truck load of supplies.
Among the articles carried were some
tools with which to dam the stream for
the purpose of making an artificial
swimming hole near the camp.
While in the valley the crowd will
pass considerable time gathering land
shells and other similar curios. If the
boys are successful in securing good
specimens, the collection will probably
be made the nucleus of a permanent
collection at the Y. NJ. C. A. rooms.
The following composed the party:
Austin Jones, L. Smith, Henry Pratt,
c. Gum, e. Kopke, G. Robertson H.
Pratt, Ralph Thurston, G.. Schaefer,
Fritz Bolter, Secretary II. r. Coleman
and a cook. After the return of the
juniors the seniors will enjoy a Vaca-
tion at the Manoa Valley camp.

WEEDON'S FINE Is
RENTED.
CAPTAIN
American Customs Rules More Strictly
Enforced Here Than on the Mainland
The Chilcott Case.

Collector General Stackable this
morning refunded to Captain Weedon
of the Marion f. Chilcott the s.. 900 fine
assessed against the vessel about two
weeks ago for beginning to discharge
cargo without a permit The captain
and agents of the vessel employed at
torneys and appealed to the collector
Tor remittal of the fine, on the ground
of ignorance of the law, and the collec-
tor finally decided to grant the remit
tai
When the fine was made Captain
Weldon was on his way from the YES
sci to the custom house to get his per-
NIT to discharge. In the mentime he
had set the men to work, so that no
time might be lost and it was for the
work they did while the CAPTAIN was
going to get his permit that the fine
was levied, $1,000 each for the captain
and mate.
Honolulu's custom house has be-
come more strict than those of the
mainland now, it is stated by many
masters in port. Captain Weldon has
been to many American ports. and
though he knew Honolulu was Ameri-
can, he had no idea that he would be
lined. The rules have been put i'm force
without any leeway. The case of the
Chilcott is one that would not have
caused fine in an American port on the
mainland, it is stated, but under the
new system the laws are being en-
forced here like machinery, and the
captains are watching very closely to
see that they keep to the line Captain
Goodwin, of the big ship Drigo, the
largest vessel that has been here this
year, said this morning that vessels
frequently begin to discharge in Ameri-
can cities before their permits are out.
II have entered at New York" said the
captain, land there was no trouble if |
did put ashore some cargo before the
papers We're all out. 1t is all matter
of business like other affairs, and the
customs people in the states know
whom they can trust and do not rigidy
adhere 20 all the routine"
Honolulu people have found that
there is a good deal of red tape in Uncle
Sans customs rules, but a good deal
of it will probably disappear when the
new system has had time to adjust it.

BIG SUGAR FIELDS AMONG THE
KOPJES.
British Authorities at Pietermaritzburg
Send to Hawaii for Cane for the South
African Sugar Industry.

Great Britain is doing something else
in South Africa, it would seem, besides
fighting the Beers.
1t is going to develop a sugar country
in the land of the Kopjes. The authOri-
ties at Pietermaritzburg have recently
sent to British Consul Hoare asking to
be furnished with some of the varieties
of cane from the experiment station
here in Honolulu which have yielded
such marvellous results.
Pietermaritzburg is the city upon
which Kruger andsSteyn had set their
eyes as the capitai of the South Af-
rican empire which was to be built up
by them as a result of the present war.
That was before they had put their
own capitals upon wheels. 1t was with
a view to the invasion of Natal and the
capture of Pietermaritzburg that Lady
smith was invested.
1t is the intention of the authorities
at Pietermaritzburg and the British
Government to develop and settle a
thriving sugar industry right in the
country where the present war has been
waged, and actually upon the very
ground where some of the fighting has
taken place.
1t is understood that Consul Hoare
has enlisted the interest of DR. Walter
M. Maxwell, director of the experiment
station, in the request, and a quantity
of different varieties of canes VIII soon
be shipped. The canes will be prepared
for shipment by dipping them in liquid
paraffine, which in effect Theoretically
seals the entire stalk.
That the British authorities should
have passed by the numerous British
cane growing countries and sent to Ha-
waii for these varieties is considered
alike a tribute to the fame of Hawaii as
sugar producing country, and to the
reputation of Dr. Maxwell as a scien-
tific and practical authority on the sub
iact of cane and its NarietieS.

Wages the children earn cannot be
spent without paying for the labor of
some one else. This labor, therefore,
is not the embarrassment to the en-
ployment of parents it is often assert
ed to be. AS rule, its worst effect
upon the labor of adults is by increas-
ing the number of those seeking Jobs
without increasing the number of those
giving them, and thus slightly reduc-
ing the level of wages. These material
conditions, however. are of minor i'm
portance. The ground upon which
child labor is to be prohibited is not
the right of adults to be protected
against competition, but the right of
the child to be fitted for competition
which he must meet in after life.
