NEW BRITISH CONSULATE
WILL BE WALKER PREMISES ON
KING STREET.
Some of the Mutations of the Consulate.
Some of the Idylls of the Present
Quarters.

On the departure of T. Rain Walker
and family for England, British Consul
General w. II. Hoare will occupy the
Walker residence on King street near
Piikoi. This will then become the Brit
ish Consulate.
There has been diplomatic or con
sular representative of Great Britain
resident in these islands for about
three quarters of a century. The
legation or consulate has been located
IN many quarters of Honolulu at differ
ent times. For many years it was at
the residence now occupied by Rev.
Alexander Macintosh. At one time it
was at the McKibbon residence. At
another it was at the Adams residence
on Emma street
The Palama property on King street
which is now the consulate, became
such with the arrival of British Com
missioner Hawes. This porperty is
owned by Liliuokalani and was her
private residence during the reign of
kalakaua. 1t was while residing here,
as she naively tells in her book, that
she was called up by telephone one day
and asked if she did not want 20 join
conspiracy to dethrone her brother.
1t was here, also, that Wilcox, travel
stained and gaunt, as she describes
him, called on her for advice and as
sistance in one of his numerous revo-
lutions.

MYHRE' 5 HOUSE BURNED
PUNCHBOWL BUILDING GOES UP
IN SMOKE.
Big Blaze Distinctly Seen From Many
Parts of Town-Fire Department is
Notified too Late.

The fine new two-story house of H.
Myhre, milk inspector of the Board of
Health, took fire at noon today and was
completely destroyed. 1t was located
high up on Punchbowl slope near the
reservoir and was practically inaccess-
able to the fire department Only a
portion of the household effects was
saved.
From town the sight attracted gem
eral attention. The fire was plainly
visible from many parts of Hotel street,
Union square and from windows down
town. Dozens of people watched 1t
from the wall around the capitol, while
the verandas of the building were filed
most of the time with spectators.
The burning of this house affords the
best possible object lesson of the need
of fire alarm system. There was not
a telephone close by and people at a
distance ran to the fire in place of turn
in the alarm. 1t is said that someone
down town started the alarm by ask
ing central whose house was burning on
Punchbowl. The fire department NOV
ed out promptly and made good pro-
gress to the foot of the hill. Up hill,
however, the horses stumbled along
at little more than a walk. When near
the scene of the conflagration it was
noticed that the house was in ruins
and that nothing could be done. At
tention was turned to neighboring prop
erty, it being feared that other houses
might catch from sparks driven toward
town by the northeast wind.
Mr.. Myhre's' loss is quite large The
house alone was worth over $4,000 II
was new building and from it's lofty
position was conspicuous Punchbow

WHY LtN|S WAS JAILED
HELD FOR TRIAL ON CHARGE
STEALING A WATCH.
Narrowing Story of Bad Treatment on
Maui Related to Examiner by Colored
Lad Proves False.

WAILUKU, May 3.-The narrowing
story published recently in the San
Francisco Examiner about the alleged
mistreatment of a cOlored boy named
Charlie Lewis, at Kahului appears to
be raise and instead of being the mis-
treated and down trodden slave"
wnlcn ne Grained, Lewis was nothing
but petty larceny thief who managed
to escape from jail at Kahului and get
to the Coast by slowing away on the
steamer Centennial. According to in
quiries made here in Wailuku the boy
was not imprisoned for refusing to
work but for refusing to keep his
hands off of property which did not be-
long to him.
According to the information secured
from the police, Charles companions
and the plantation managers, the fol-
lowing are the facts:
Charlie Lewis, the negro youth of
whom a thrilling story was published
in the Examiner some time ago. earn
ed a little money when on Maui, by
singing with his playmates, Joe Ma
nuel and George Brooks. Lewis states
in the Examiner, that all the letters
written by the negroes have to be read
first by the Hawaiian Commercial
Co.'S people, but this statement is con-
tradicted by the other negroes who are
now working on the plantation.
Charlie Lewis was arrested some
weeks ago on the charge of larceny, 1t
being alleged that he, in company with
Manuel and Brooks, stole several
watches from Morris store in Kahului.
The three children were in Kahului on
the day that the robbery occurred.
After singing on the streets, 1t is said
that they went to All Kip's restaurant
in Kahului, and after singing there for
a while proceeded to T. Morris store.
| One of the boys noticed the clerk
placing several watches in drawer
near the bookkeeper's desk. The other
two, so it is alleged attracted the at
tention of the clerk by asking for the
price of other articles, while the other
I by a clever trick managed to slip a
! watch into his pocket, the others later
| performing the same successful expert
| ment.
1.-The boys were arrested on a charge
of larceny, and were committed for
trial at the June term. How Lewis es-
capped the prison is not clearly known
While in prison, Lewis stated to the
jailor that he had been arrested once
before for having turned coal car off
the track. The theft was the cause OF
| Lewis arrest and not that he refused
! to work as stated in the Examiner.
Negroes from Spreckelsville are seen
many times in Wailuku and Kahului
and so far, no one has been arrested
! for refusing to work. Several negroes
are now in Honolulu for safe-keeping
on different charges, some for attempt
ing murder and others for thefts and
other criminal offences. They are al
to be tried at the June term of the
Circuit Court"

ESCAPED BY STRATEGY
HOW DRUNKEN SAILOR ELUDED
ARREST TEMPORARILY.
Waded Into a Pool of Water to Get
Away From a Police officer Yester-
day Afternoon.

When the name of "Johns" was call
ed in Judge Wilcoxs court this morning
a diminutive looking Individual arose
and pleaded guilty to the charge of
having been intoxicated on Sunday
The defendant was assessed 81 ana
costs which seemed perfectly adequate
for such a meek looking Individual
While Johns looked meek enough today
he was far from lowly yesterday for
made ambitious by swipes, he raised
considerable pilikia in Kakaako during
the afternoon and caused Mounted Offi-
Ger Maitland and Lieutenant of Police
Leslie more trouble than they often
experience in Kakaako on Sundays.
Johns probably swallowed liberal
doses of swipes and took some okolehao
as a chaser, for when officer Maitland
saw him the little sailor was raising
quite a disturbance. In fact, Johns who
stands feet two had terrorized even
the warlike residents of that section by
asserting that he was Tom Sharkey in
disguise, looking for some body to
knock out. Maitland ordered the fellow
several times to leave the district and
go home.
About 8 o'clock in the afternoon the
officer espied Johns cavorting and
raising a row on the sand lot back of
the Iron Works. AS soon as Johns per-
ceived the officer, the alleged prize

ward big pool of water which the
heavy shower of the morning had form
ed close to Punchbowl street. Maitland
galloped in pursuit and when Johns
heard his pursuer approaching he tried
to escape by strategy and waded into
the pool of water
With the muddy slush up to his
knees John felt safe. He did not at
tempt any thing heroic and emulate
James Fitz-James and declare that the
water should evaporate from it's soft
base as soon as he, but in a qCieter and
far more sarcastic manner placed his
right thumb upon the tip of his nose
and wiggled his fingers at the police Of
| ficers.
Maitland was not to be balked by a
| little water and rode his horse into the
| pool after Johns. The sailor tried to
wade out. Fortunately for him when
| the horse reached the middle of the
pool it stumbled and fell and Maitland
went flying between the animals ears
! The horse staggered forward while
| Maitland wildly floundered in the air
| long enough to reach the edge of the
| pool and tumble head first into the mud
! and shallow water.

COUNTY BILLS CARE[R WILL CUT AL Salaries
employees WILL
# SUFFER.
Home Rulers Decide to Slash From
Top to Bottom-Error in Not Passing
Loan and Tax Bills.

The special session of the Legislature
will begin at 10 o'clock Wednesday.
There will not be any formal opening
save for the usual prayers of the chap
lains. All of the old officers will hold
over and the members will occupy
their former seats in both houses The
appropriation bill will be taken up at
once, unless it is blocked by hot air"
or resolutions condemning the Cover
nor or somebody in government en-
ploy.
1t is the intention of the majority to
slash right and left in the appropria-
ton bill. This has been fully decided
by the party and seems to be about
the only one upon which the Home
Rulers have been united in weeks.
Representative Beckley said this
morning: IA general reduction of sal
aries will be made, from the top to the
bottom. We are working on the matter
today and early in the session will have
decided what each salary will be. L
and Senator White have secured all the
information we want from the capitol
building offices and will next visit the
other building across the street.
THE reductions are not made through
malice or spite, although the govern
ment employees are against us, politi-
cally. 1t is simply a case of necessity,
there not being money in sight to meet
| the Governors budget. The chances
are that a number of clerkships will
have to be cut out altogether"
Senator White visited the Board of
! Health and some other offices this
morning and obtained information as
to how many clerks were employed the
character of their work and salaries
| paid.
The Home Rulers have just awaken
ed to the effect of not passing the loan
bill and additional tax measures. They
now find that they will have to cut
very close to get through.

THE DIRTY BARBER SHOPS
IN PALAMA THAT NEED
LOOKING AFTER.
Mrs. U. Thompson's Report to the Kin
dergarten Society-Dangers of Infec-
ton Disregarded.

The many small japanese barber
shops in Palama and other parts of the
city need the attention of the Board OF
Health, in the opinion of people who
have examined them and had to do
with health conditions here. Mrs. U.
Thompson, inspectress of kindergar-
tens, reported to. the kindergarten so
ciety last week that she had noticed a
number of cases OF skin diseases
among children and thought that such
cases might have come from the dirty
barber shops, where parents of the
children use towels that are not clean.
Visits to a few of the barber shops
seem to justify the conclusion. In Pa
lama, where the cases referred to by
Mrs. Thompson are, there are many
small Japanese barJer shops that are
filthy in the extreme. They are small
holes in the walls, with dirty floors
and chairs, dirty walls, roofs and
everything else, and unclean towels
and bottles are all about the places.
Usually the Jap barber shop is an ad-
junct to soda water stand or grocery
store. The danger of use of unclean
towels in a barber shop is well known
to all but Japs.
Il think there ought to be an in
spector to look after these places" said
Mrs. Thompson, when asked regard
ing her statement of last week. What
1 said to the kindergarten society was
true in every respect. Lately three
cases of the kind mentioned have APP
peared in the Palama kindergarten and
think it is quite likely that the barber
shops had something to do with them.
In community like Honolulu,
where skin diseases are prevalent, we
cannot be too careful about teaching
and enforcing rules of cleanliness.
There should be some one to inspect and
| look after all kindergartens in behalf
of the Board of Health, and prompt
treatment should be given in every
case.
THE teaching of laws of health and
dangers of infection should be general
| throughout the schools"
Mrs. Thompson was formerly in
charge of the physical culture depart
ment of Kamehameha school and has
had much experience in such training
and in hygiene. She is of the opinion
that there is room for much reform in
the training of children to exercise
more care in avoiding dangers of in
fection and to observe rules of cleanli-
ness, which are especially important in
Hawaii. Several cases calling for
| treatment have been found by Mrs.
Thompson in the schools and have been
promptly looked after, cures resulting
from the treatment.

of the President on the coast, nor will

does make the trip.
The matter will be decided tomor-
