Boyd to Draw $4,000.

The Senate has had another salaries
day. Kalauokalani went into the meet
ing this morning with the intention. of
urging a genral scheme of reduction
that would affect all offices and yet be
heavy on none. Kanuha wanted to
strike out every office whose occupant
was not his personal friend. DR.. Rus
sci was also disposed to extensive prun-
ing. The Republicans stuck out, as they
did yesterday, for careful pruning, but
insisted that all the facts should be
first known before any cuts were made.
House bill appropriattng money for
expenses of the special session passed
final reading in the senate this morn
ing and went to the Acting Governor.
Dr. Russell stated that ne had been
subpoened by the grand jury to appear
before it on the bribery matter but had
declined. He stated that he was ex-
empt from arrest and the subpoena
amounted to threat of arrest. Had he
received an invitation to appeal before
the grand jury, he would have accept
ed. 1t was the opinion of the Sen
ators that they could attend or not at
tend the sessions of the grand jury as
they pleased.
Salary of treasurer for the biennial
period was reduced from SO 900 to $S,-
900; registrar of accounts reduced

Keeper, 81, 400; Kanuha moved to strike
out salary of license inspector. Achl
moved to continue with it the work of
inspecting weights and measures, and
that the item as amended pass. DR..
Russell, White, Kanuha and others con-
tended that all the license offices be
struck out and the police be required to
enforce the license laws. Items were
struck out.
When salary of assistant license and
recording, $2,400, came up Crabbe de-
manded that the item be referred to
committee, and declared that Senators
White, Kalauokalani and Kanuha had
ruined the Territory Item passed. Sal

grapher and typewriter, $4,000, struck

TROUBLE At THE OUIFALL
WORK STOPPED ON ACCOUNT OF
ROUGH WEATHER.
Unless the Legislature Appropriates
More Money the Outfall Cannot be
Finished for the Present.

There has been more pilikia at the
outfall sewer recently than has been
experienced since the government took
the contract out of joan Wilson's hands
and began to finish the work on its
own account.
The pier has been built ouI as far. as
is deemed advisable and the remaining
distance to be laid will have to be done
by means of lighters. In floating the
long sections of pipe and then sinking
them n place the contractors are
experiencing unusual trouuie.
Several days ago section of pipe was
fioated out but the slinGs broke and the
pipe sank to the bottom. After consd-
cradle trouble the divers recovered the
section. Yesterday two men were out
in row boat carrying some rope ana
Instruments from the pier to the pom
toon but before the boat could reach the
pontoon a big blind wave struck the
boat and carried it against tive per
smashing the sides and throwing the
occupants out. The men were rescued
after some difficulty. The surf vas 50
| high that work had 10 b. abanuC ned
and today it was not possible to do any
| thing toward laying the pipe as the
| waves were still high.
If the work is delayed much more, the
outfall cannot be completed or in fact
any where near completed. Already,
! fully quarter of mile more pipe Is tC
! be laid before the end of the outfall
sewer reaches the required depth
| Should the legislature fail to appru-
| pirate more money with which to conti-
nue. the work, further construction vii
be brought to a standstill.

INVESTIGATING CHARGES
GRAND JURY RUsHEs INTO THE
BRIBERY MATTER.
Number of Prominent Witnesses are
Summoned for Examination-Dr.
Russell Refuses to Attend.

The grand jury this morning took
up the bribery matter with a tremen-
dous zeal When the session opened
a half dozen prominent officials of the
Territorial government and business
men in town waited outside the door
to be called. Yesterday some of them
refused to appear. The jury asked in
formation of Judge Humphreys as to
it's authority to compel attendance.
The court replied that it could enforce
a response to summons, but that the
parties summoned were not obliged to
testify to matters that would incrim-
mate themselves.
This morning there appeared at the
jury room Attorney-General Dole, Dep
uty Attorney General Cathcart, f. j.
Lowrey, b. A. Thurston, A. w. Pear
son, John Emmeluth and others. Mr..
Emmeluth was summoned from the
House of Representatives, presumably
to be questioned on a letter he wrote to
The Star stating that he had located
5000 of the money spent in the Legis-
lature to influence certain measures.
A feature of the morning was a sum-
mons upon DIR. Russell, of the Senate, to
appear and explain the why's and
whereforeS of a statement by him that
there was $500 in the House to defeat
the Dispensary bill. The summons was
returned with the refusal of DR.. Russell
W ISspoho' Inc oeHdlOr from Oldd
sent message to the jury to the effect
that if invited so to do he would ap-
pear before the jury, but that being a
member of the Legislature he would not
heed any summons, being exempt from
arrest and a summons implied some
thing akin to arrest. The jury deferred
the case of DR.. Russell to a later hour
and will probably ask the advice of the
court in REGARD to it.
1t was reported that Governor Dole
had been summoned from Waianae to
appear before the jury. The facts
We're withheld, but it is not believed
that a summons has actually yet been
issued. Dispensary bill, tramways bill
and Nolte's lunches are the principal
heads under which the investigation is
proceeding.

NEW SCHOOL PROBLEM.
HUNDREDS OF PORTO RICAN
PUPILS HERE NOW.
Spanish Added to the Many Tongues
Spoken by the Public School Children
of the Territory.

The arrivals of Porto Rican children
bring a serious problem before the
Scnool department, which already has
all the youngsters it can look after.
There were over hundred young ones
in the lot of immigrants that came
from Porto Rico, by the Colon from
Port Los Angeles, this week. Each
steamer lot of immigrants from Porto
Rico has had something like the same
proportion of children who will have to
be looked after in the schools.
None of the Porto Rican children
have been to school. None of them
speak English Most of the grown-up
people never went to school either, for
that matter and the average Porto
school is, is quite hazy. Boys of about
fifteen among the Colon immigrants
stated in reply to questions put to them
that they had never been to school at
ALL
The advent of the Porto Rican adds
another language to those the unfor-
tunate teachers of Hawaii have to
struggle with. They are already up
against youngsters who talk in Chi
nese Japanese, Portuguese and native
Hawaiian. Now they are to get many
pupils whose only language is the
brand of Spanish spoken in Porto Rico.
| A. T. Atkinson, Superintendent of
Public instruction, says that there will
be no trouble about looking after the
Porto Ricans with the rest, if the de-
partment has the necessary facilities,
and this all depends on the legisla-
ture's action with regard to appropria-
tions. Some of the school districts to
which the Porto Ricans are going are
already overcrowded and in other dis
tricts there is no school available foI
many of them.
"The language question will not be a
difficult one," said the superintendent
''and there will be no need of getting
Interpreters or teachers who speak
Spanish. If our teachers have man
aged to get on speaking terms with the
boys and girls whosknow only Japan
ese and Chinese, they will have little
trouble with the Spanish speaking
members of their classes"

revolution OR REFORM
CHINESE PARTIES SAID. TO HAVE;
COMBINED.
Seeming Fulflment of Prediction
Made Here by DR.. Sun Yet Sen.
Gable From Nankin.

In an interview in The Star of April
10, DR.. Sun Yet Sen, the Chinese revo-
lutionist, predicted union of reform
and revolutionary forces in China and
expressed the opinion that Leung Chi
tso and his followers would see that
their Bow Wong line of action was mis-
taken, and join issue with the revoIu-
tiOnists. The followin" disnatch may
tell of fulfllment of DR., Suns pro-
phecY:
WASHINGTON, May S.-W. Martin,
the American Consul at Nankin, an
nounces in a cablegram that the secret
societies there have joined issue with
the reformers. Chinese troops patrol
Nankin and sleep under arms"
DR.. Sun Is now on the island of Maui
with his brother, President Ami of II
Maui branch of the Bow Wongs. He is
not doing any active work at present
in behalf of his idea OF a new Chinese
government, but is waiting till the
powers settle with China. DIR. Sun
holds that any revolutionary movement
in China now would only serve as an
excuse for the powers to take hold and
partition the empire.
According to Dr. Sun the secret So
cieties have large organization
through the empire. and If the dispatch
| stating that they and the reform
ers have come together proves true
local reformers look for important re-
suits. TT is quite possible that eul
society might join with the revolutions
lists" said local member Of the Bow
Wong Wui "as the objects of the two
organizations are about the same. II
any event the movement will not die
If we are not able to do anything now
because the powers will not evacuatt
China, the time will come when We
shall be in a position to exert our in
! huence."

CENTER IF POPULATION.
1t is Six Miles Southeast of Columbus

The center of population of the United

The center of area of the United

NAMES Cs DAYS
Have Curious Derivations Which Rs~
 People Know.

Last night l was at a stag dinner, where the company at large was asked from what source the days of tte week derived their names, and only one man put of the twelve present could answer the question, and he was the man wh. asked 1t, and he was one day wrong at that, for I've since looked the matter up. Sunday and Monday are simple enough. and in themselves suggest their derivation from the sun and moon, but with Tuesday We come to the ancient gods of our fOrefathers, the EGgels, that hardy race that displayed the Briton and gave their name to the English people. Tuesday was named for Fwi, their god of death, Wednes- Gay for Odin, Woden or Wotau, who occupies in their mythology position analogous 70 that of Jupiter on Mt Olympus; Thursday for Thor, the god of air and storm and rain; Friday fer Treia or Freya. the god of peace, and Saturday possibly for Saeterr, an ob scure god of their mythology, but more probably It takes it's name for Saturn It would seem as though almost any one you would ask would know the derivation of these words of daily use, 5ut I'll wager that not one person out of a hundred can tell them correctly. It's like the surprise the Bible gives enc not familiar with it, by the idicms and phrases they will come across when reading It's pages, that are fami- liar and colloquial in the language they use, but which are uttered without the slightest knowledge of whence the1 came on the part of either speaker or listener New York Tribune.
