STAR DAIRY MAN F|NEDFEN CHINESE REGISTERED
ONLY EIGHT THUS FAR
ENROLLED.
Collector Hasson Warns Them Of the
Danger of Delay-Some Obstacles
Met with by Deputies.

The Chinese registration bureau is
now perfectly organized and is doing
little business every day although the
very bad weather Is preventing a run
on the office on the part of Chinese. All
Of the deputies are ensConCed in the
respective booths or apartments at the
office, and wait from a IN. to 4 p. m.
for their prey Thus far forty
eight Chinese have registered. This
was the report of Deputy Archie
Smithies, who is in charge of the force,
at IL o'clock.
Deputy Collector Hasson wishes all
Chinese to understand that the force
of deputies is small and that if they
put off registering until the last few
weeks Of the time some of them will
be LEFT out altogether for it will then
be impossible for the office to handle
them. He urges that as many as pos
sible register at once, as the office wilt
naturally have all it can do toward the
close.
Mr.. Hasson also states that women
and children should register 1t is not
compulsory on any, but should they
ever wish to travel a great deal of
trouble would be saved them if they
have proper certificates. A woman or
child would have as much trouble re-
turning to the Islands without a certi-
ficate as would a man.
Some difficulty is being experienced
in getting photographs The law pre-
scribes a photograph of a certain size
and kind. Thus far the Chinese have
not succeeded in establishing a place
for the making of these pictures.
Another difficulty being met with by
the deputies is the objection of clerks
bookkeepers and other like employees to
! be classad as "laborers." They look
upon the term "laborer" as contemplat-
ing a coolie or something of the sort,
and that is distasteful to them. AS a
matter of fact, however, the law calls
all Chinese not actually merchants or
students "laborers." Merchants and
students are designated as "other than
laborers." The term "laborers," there
fore simply means a man who works.

THE REPUBLICAN HAS A VERY
ANGRY CALLER.
A Supposed Humorous Article About
Three Young Ladies Fails to Make
Their Friends Laugh.

The editor of the Republican had a
very lively few minutes this morning
in his sanctum, as a result of an edi-
torial in this mornings issue of the
paper, under the heading Beware,
She's Fooling Thee" A friend OF the
young ladies who were referred to in
the article in question, called at the
office to lick" the editor but the print
ers turned out in force and saved the
day, before the desired damage had
been done.
The article that caused the trouble
created indignation among many
friends of the young ladies and there
was general angry discussion of it
early this morning, when copies of the
paper were distributed. The article
purported to be humorous, but to the
young ladies whose actions 1t discussed
and their friends, 1t was highly serious
The young women came here on the
Sonoma and have friends here and at
home in the best social circles.
The man who started to lick the edi-
tor is also well known in Honolulu, be-
ing a travelling man who has made a
number of visits here. He called upon
the editor quite early and did not waste
any time in announcing the reason for
the visit. The avenger is a big strong
man and the presence of printers on the
scene was fortunate.
Angry voices were heard even on the
street below as the visitor gave his
opinion of the editorial fun-making.
The printing force gathered on the
scene of battle before the travelling man
had fulfilled his mission to administer
physical punishment and he left after
a string of compliments.

FINS HUMANE EDUCATOR
PUBLICATION WILL CEASE WITH
MARCH SEMHER.
Reasons Which Led to It's Beginning
and Those Which Lead to It's Ending.
Financial Conditions,

The publication of the Humane Edu-
Gator will cease with the March num-
ber That number will complete
years publication of the magazine and
fulfill contracts with subscribers and
advertisers.
The publication of the Humane Edu-
Gator was begun in the hope and belief
that it would aid considerably in the
work of preventing cruelty to animals
by disseminating information on the
subject, arousing interest, and there
by secure funds to carry on the
work. 1t has been found, how
ever, that the conduct of the ma
gazine involved much work which was
in a degree taken from the direct
work of cruelty prevention, without
materially adding to the funds for the
work. The determination has there
fore been reached to discontinue the
publication.
There is enough money outstanding
due the Humane Educator for adver-
tising and subscriptions, to meet all the
financial obligations of the publica-
ton. So that if these amounts are
paid up promptly the magazine can
be discontinued free from obligations.
Mr.. Craft who has been conducting
the magazine during the absence of
his wife abroad, says that no pains
will be spared to make the March num-
Der an excellent one, and fully up to the
standard of previous issues.

PAPA ITES GASOuNE'TO LICK V EDITOR
ANOTHER FAKE INTRODUCED BY
MANAGER LEWIS.
Threw Gasoline on Hot Stones Behind
A Native Who Was Nearly Scared to
Death

WAILUKU, February 4.-Papa Ita
walked the hot CD stones at this place
Saturday night, and so did several
others. Amusing as was the old Tahi-
tian faker his manager Lewis as usual
was the funniest part of the show. Pro-
fitting by his experience at Honolulu,
Lewis did not forget his part as man
ager and rush over the hot stones to
chase some of the crowd off the rocks
but he succeeded in soaring an Hawai-
ian nearly to death.
1t was during the intervals of the
walks by Papa Ita that an Hawaiian
with his feet protected by shoes start
ed to meander across the hot rocks.
Lewis evidently heard the murmurs of
the crowd for he determined to
frighten the Hwaian out of his
wits. While the back of the unlimited
walker was turned Lewis threw some
kerosene onto the fire close to the ma
tive. There was a dull report, a sud
den bursting of flame as the kerosene
caught fire. The Hawaiian must have
thought that the evil spirit had been in
voked by Papa tia for after describing
a semi circle in the air he landed off the
rocks looking like a scared rabbit.
When he discovered the cause of his
fright he became furious and rushed
toward Lewis with the evident inten-
tion of lambasting him. The police in
terfered however so Lewis escaped
without injury.
Before Papa TIA walked over the
stones Jack Kekaona an Hawaiian
wanted to walk over the rocks in his
bare feet but William Prestige stopped
the daring youth, claiming that he did
not want the fellow to commit suicide
Subsequently the native did walk over
the stones.

G. b. DOAK FOUND GUILTY BY
JUDGE WILCOX.
Another Effort to Shift Responsibility
to be Made, However, in the Higher
Court.

The puzzling question of who sells the
milk of the Star Dairy to it's customers
is about to take a new turn. The latest
defense of the dairy is that the foreman
buys all the milk from the dairy in bulk
and sells It himself to the small Gus
toners. This being the case it is con-
tended that Manager Doak did not sell
milk to Mrs. Levy. Doak made no
defense at all in the district court this
morning, and was found guilty, but it
is said that the foreman will be the
man indicated next, when the case
reaches the Circuit Court.
G.. B. Doak, manager of the dairy
was fined 500 and costs. This is a
heavy fine, but not more than can be
made up in a day or two by watering
milk for hundreds of customers, if the
practice is general.
This morning the witness Lamba was
found. He reluctantly testified that
Doak was the manager and told of the
sale of milk to Mrs. Levy. Lamba
served Mrs. Levy with milk on De-
cember %, at about four o'clock in the
morning. He was stopped by Inspec-
tors Myhre and Shorey, who took sam
pies of the milk he was about to serve.
Lamba did not know where the milk
he served came from. 1t was placed in
trough at the dairy every morning
and evening and he simply went to the
trough and filled. his wagon with cans,
| already filled, for his route.
The defense sought in cross-eXamina-
tion to show that the foreman was
really responsible for the handling of
the milk but Judge Wilcox held that
the manager was the responsible man.
l.. II. Dee auditor of the Star Dairy,
testified that Doak was the manager,
and after Judge Wilcox had denied a
motion to discharge the defendant, the
case was submitted without argument
[ or testimony for the defense
Doak's defense in the higher court
may result in prosecution of the fore
man. There has been no effort in any
of the cases to contest the proof that
the milk was watered, and that part
of the case appears to be regarded as
settled, but the police are up against
it when it comes to fixing the respon-
sibility
The police have tried the man who
served the milk from delivery wagon
and he got free. Now they are trying
the manager of the dairy on the same
set of facts. They may yet have to
proceed against the foreman

A NEW SENSE DISCOVERED.

The sense of smell so notably de-
veloped in savages and some of the
lower animals, is not ordinarily very
acute among civilized people. An ex-
traordinary exception has been brought
to notice by DR.. Bett, German obser-
yer. In one of his male friends the
sense is so keen that acquaintances are
at once recognized by their personal
odor at a distance of several PAGES,
and the man makes no mistakes even
when securely blindfolded. The facul-
ty is not keener in the bloodhound.
This individual asserts that every
family has its characteristic odor, and
that members of the family are to be
distinguished by the degree of the odor,
We sincerely pity a man gifted in this
way. and hope he will never come to
Japan. His life among the highly
Characteristic Odors of this country
would be one lon0 misery.-Japan Ga

CURTIS ]. LYONS, Observer.
The kona is not over.


So says the Territorial meteorological,
and the barometer bears him out. The
barometer which at clock this morn
ing stood at 29.5S was down to 29.5O at
1880.
The storm still holds all shipping
completely tied up. None of the ISL
and steamers have left yet and none of
them are to go until the weather mo-
derates. They are held indefinitely.
The gale blows as strongly as ever
along the water front and the seas out
side are higher than yesterday. This
afternoon the waves are breaking
across the entrance to the channel,
where there is fully thirty feet of water
This is something very seldom seen.
Sea Captains along the front report
falling barometer this afternoon, and
predict more storm.
Probably the most striking evidence
of the heavy storm is to be witnessed
off the end of the long outfall sewer
pier. 1t is no impossible to work on
the extension of the pier owing to the
loss of the apparatus and the furious
waves which are dashing every minute
against the piles. Fully 80 feet of piles
are now standing bare and unprotected
from the waves and if the storm in
creased or even continues in volume
many will probably be washed away.
This morning and last night the
waves were so neaNy as TO WASH away
the caps of nearly 80 feet of the pier
This morning the waves were 10 feet
i'm height and broke over the end of
the pier.
An attempt was made this afternoon
to work the dredger inside the line of
breakers. When the storm will have
abated fully ten days to two weeks will
be required to recover the donkey en-
gine of the pile driver and place the
other machinery in position at the end
of the pier which will have to be re-
paired a distance of 80 feet. The dom
key engine is now in about fifteen feet
I of water off the end of the pier.
The view from the end of the pier is
beautiful, the huge waves breaking in
rapid succession and dashing against
the piles causing the spray to leap
thirty feet into the air.
The fish market is always a baro-
meter of KOna and is about one of the
first place to feel the effect of any
severe storm. Owing to the kona of
the last two days there has been no
fish caught outside the harbor this
week All the Japanese and native
fishing fleets are tied up for their own
ers dare not venture outside. The re-
suit is that the supply of fish has had
to be replenished from the fish ponds
and as ii is inadequate. uttle If any of
this food is offered for sale. If the
storm should continue for several days
more it Is likely that there will be an
entire dearth of fish freshly caught.

LAHAINA GILBERT ISLANDERS
Efforts to Secure a Suitable Church for
Them.

Efforts are being made in Lahaina
to secure a suitable place of worship
for the large colony of Gilbert Island
ers who live there. Miss Malone writ
ing TO the Hawaiian Board says:
81 found that the Gilbert Islanders
at Lahaina We're church-goers. The
women make hats, the men fish and so
their needs are met They do not rank
well as workers on the plantation. They
are however open to influence and 1
think they will take their place as
workers. They have worshipped in an
old building belonging to the Hawaiian
church, Through various efforts some
money was raised and $93 worth of ma
terial was bought The plantation add
ed to the amount, but they have lack
ed somewhat the leadship and the
means TO utilize the material. The
women gave nineteen hats for the bene-
fit of the church f. II. Carleton in
charge of the industrial department
at Lahainaluna was put In charge, the
minister Rev. Lutera and several of
the Gilbert Islanders giving their SER
vices. 1t was found impossible to re-
pair the church Ga small meeting
house,. There was only one thing to
do, to remove it. A foundation has
been made, but there was a lack of ma
terial for the superstructure.
THE Japanese meE who are building
the Lahaina kindergarten will take the
contract for building this church (chap-
ED for $500. The Gilbert Islanders
will paint and whitewash, will the Ha-
waiian Board furnish the material and
the S95 to put up this church? The con-
gregation seldom goes below forty"

THE STORM SEWER.

EDITOR STAR: In Tuesdays Star it
was stated that "the shower at noon
today proves that the storm sewer be-
ing laid for Fort street is inadequate"
The reason given is that the sewer on
Queen street was checked with wa
ter"
The facts are as follows: The sewer
is not complete. For good reasons the
discharge pipe from one of the catch
basins on Queen street had been closed.
The discharge pipes from the two catch
basins that We're in operation do not
combined, have more than II of the
carrying capacity of the sewer.
The pipe for continuing the storm
sewer in Fort street is now being made
and as soon as there is sufficient on
hand to complete the work the sewer
will be constructed.
The sewer will take the water from
a much heavier rain than fell on Tues
day.

THE CHINESE ARE HAPPY.

Natularized Chinese are greatly elat-
ed over the ruling of Attorney General
Griggs declaring them to be American
citizens This morning notices con-
Veying the information were posted at
the newspaper offices and in various
parts of Chinatown. At noon today
some of the prominent Chinese who had
had nightmares of late in regard to
their status were discussing the mat
ter of giving a big Chinese banquet,
and inviting Judge Estee, District At
torney Baird, other United States and
Territorial officials and other promi-
nent Americans to it.
The ruling of the Attorney General
sets at rest the status of naturalized
Chinese. They will have to be regis
tered, of course, but this will only be
for the sake of identifying them
should they wish to visit San Francisco
or New York, or in passing between
here and China.

STRIKERS BACK AT WORK.
Master Plumber Brown Suspended by
the Association.

The incipient strike of the plumbers
proves to be very insipid. 1t is now off
and the strikers of yesterday are the
workers of today. All hands claim to
be satisfied now ,and if there is any
warfare waged in future against Mas
ter Plumber c. H. Brown and the four
journeymen plumbers who came here
from Seattle it will be on the quiet and
not in the open.
Mr.. Brown has been suspended from
the master plumbers association but
he says he does not mind this action.
He will not recede from the position
which he took in support of the men
from Seattle and he is perfectly will
ing to be without the pale of the asso-
citation if they wish to keep him out.
All of the men who gave offence to
the union because they refused to pay
an initiation fee of $50 which they con-
sidered eXorbitant, are in the employ
of Mr.. Brown and worked today He
says they will continue to work for
him.

BILL WILLIAMS ISLAND.
THE KONA DEPRIVES HIM OF
LAND.
Waves Wash Away the Grounds of
the Williams Residence in the Har-
Dor.

Bill Williams is losing his island. 1t
is predicted that if the storm keeps up
bit longer Bill will be living in a
house with water all round it and no
land. The storm has already swept
away the middle of the island and
waves are breaking over about half of
the patch that was Bill's home.
Bill Williams is the man who lives,
with his family, in the harbOr light
house, having a comfortable little home
on the small dot of land just at the
end of the channel, inside the harbor.
Two days ago he could step out of his
back door and take walk round the
beach. The island is all beach, for that
matter and Bill couldn't walk far in
one direction, but now he can't walk
ct all, without wading. The KOna has
washed big waves over the middle of
the island till it has taken the middle
away The house stands quite high out
of the water. There is water now be-
tween it and what is left of the island
All that is left is some rocks over
which the waves are breaking. When
calm weather comes again Bill Will
iams can pile some earth where his
territory used to be and thus recover
lost ground.
The light house man has felt the
storm of the past few days as no one
else has. His home is right in the line
of the wind before 1t is diverted by
any shore and II is also in the line OF
the heavy seas that come through the
channel. Only a strongly built house
could have stood the winds that have
howled round Bill Williams home this
week

PALAMA PEOPLE MAD.

Residents of Palama have a big kick
coming today on account of the con-
dition of the streets. This morning 1t
was impossible to use the streets and
everybody had to resort to street cars
or hacks. This afternoon vehicles had
traversed the road so much that 1t was
impossible TO reach the cars without
wading ankle deep in the slush. The
people are up in arms and are talking
strongly Of calling a public meeting to
protest against the condition of the
streets to the legislature. They claim
that they have not had their propor-
tion of public money on their thor
oughfares in the past two years, the
south end of town getting 1t ALL
