SUNDAY PLAY FOR BOYS
JUDGE WILCOX THINKS SCHOOL
OR CONCERT is NEEDED.
Warns Ten Culprits Today that Ex-
cessive Gambling Leads Boys to
steal-Suggests a Remedy

Judge Wilcox made an excellent sug-
gestion in the district court this morn
ing regarding missionary work among
the youth of the city on Sunday. Six
haoles, three natives and one lone Jap
were before the court on charges of
having gambled yesterday.
fThey say" remarked Judge Wilcox,
after Deputy Sheriff Chillingworth had
stated the case to him, that you were
gambling down by the Sanitary Steam
Laundry yesterday afternoon. 1 sup
pose you went to Sunday school in the
morning and then went down there in
the AFTERNOON to play I'll.
That's where people go to get rid of
their dirt. You evidently went over to
get rid of your nickles and dimes.
When 1 see young man too fond of
gambling 1 expect him to be here in
the docket sooner or later charged with
petty larceny. or embezzlement. You
win find out that you will lose more
money gambling than you can make,
When a young fellow gets to losing he
win try and get more money to keep
playing and he is apt to take his
fathers or his mothers or his en-
ployers' money. It's just a step from
boys gambling too much to their get
ting in Jail
"There is only one fellow in a thou
sand who makes a stake. Whenever
any one makes stake then you think
you can do the same but you won't.
You are more apt to be numbered
among the other 999 who lose.
II wonder where all these missionary
people are that they don't start some
sort of Sunday school or a band con-
cert down by the Sanitary Steam Laun-
dry so that you boys could go there in
stead of wasting your time and money
playing 7-11 and gambling in other
ways. Something ought to be done tc
interest the boys and not let them
gamble so. L think if they had some
thing else to do they would not want
to gamble. 1t is just because no sort
of amusement is offered then that they
want to get in and gamble. Take
warning now and stop this gambling
concluded the court as he dismissed the
crowd after giving them this good
advice

Sandy Hoook will be held some time in
May by the Board of Ordnance and
Fortifications, with Lieutenant-Gen
Miles at it's head.
The board will test not only such
guns as may be presented by manu-
facturers and inventors, but also the
new gun modelled on the plan of the
French field gun and constructed under
the direction of the board it self.
The plans for this gun, which artillery
experts assert is the best in the world
were obtained by an army officer whC
was sent abroad last summer.
The mechanism of this gun has beer

SECURED VERYRARE BIRDS.
SUCCESSFUL EXPEDITION FOR
BISHOP MUSEUM.
Only Five Specimens of the Iiwi Could
Be Secured on This Island-Five other
Varieties Found.

The pathological department of the
Bishop Museum has been very success
full since the first of the year and some
valuable additions have been made to
the collection of rare birds. Two ex-
petitions have been made under the
direction of professor A. Scale the field
collector of the museum. One of these
lasted two months during January and
February and the other is about con-
cluded.
MIR. Scale was accompanied by w. A..
Bryan, curator of ornithology, and they
passed two months in the Waianae
mountains. This expedition was fortu-
nate enough to secure six forms of rare
native birds including nests and eggs
of several.
One of the rarest varieties of island
birds, the Vestiaria cocinea or Iiwi was
secured. The bird is a small creature
with brilliant red plumage the feathers
Delng used in the olden times to cover
helmets and in the manufacture of
cloaks. The bird has become very rare
on the island of Oahu and only five spe-
ctmenS were secured.
Another rare bird but which exists in
much greater profusion than the Iiwi
was the apapane or himatione sangui-
nea This bird is similar in general ap-
pearance to the Iiwi but it's plumage is
not so brilliant as the other variety
A number of specimens of the apapane
were secured.
Another rather rare variety was a
small bird olive and yellowish color
This bird comes in three varieties, the
straight, curved and intermediate bills.
The back and head and wings of this
bird Is rich olive color while the un-
der part of the wings and breast is a
! bright yellow. This bird was found in
! considerable number
During the expedition some careful
study of the Mynah bird was made. AS
| the result of the observations Mr.. Scale
and Mr.. Bryan came to the conclusion
\ that instead of being the pest that the
natives nave termed it, the Mynah bird
! is in reality a benefit. 1t is insectivorous
/ in its habits and is the means of Kidding
I the country of many of The insect pests
! All of the various specimens secured
| have been cured by Mr.. Bryan and will
| shortly be mounted for the museum.
Mr.. Scale is at present on Hawaii max
i ing study of some of the birds of that
/ island. He is expected home within a
| short time with a number of specimens
| as this expedition is reported to have
been quite successful.
The ornitholOgical department is
making new groups of birds and those
1 having specimens to spare are asked to
send them to this depart tnent of the
museum. a special attempt is 10 bt
/ made to Increase the WAFER bird collec'
tor An effort is being made to study
tie living habits of birds, especiallJ
! those introduced to these islands and
! people interested in rhA subject are re.
quested to send such birds 10 the mu.
scum.

HAWAII WILL RECEIVE BACK
100000.
Treasury Agent McClennan Will Re-
turn the Amount-Governmen May
Pay Back 100000.

Treasury Agent McClennan, who is
here to take up the Hawaiian bonds,
states that the United States govern
ment is also refunding the interest paid
by the Hawaiian government on the
bonds since June Ia last. The amount
is something over 100000. 1t would
have been about 100000 but for the
fact that payment at this time inter-
oepts one payment of Interest. Side by
side with the recent statement of
Treasurer Lansing, however, the
thirty cents" in the Hawaiian treas
ury will look about 100000 bigger.
Secretary's Cages idea has always
been that the United States should re-
fund all interest paid since July Z,
1898, and 1t is not unlikely that this
may still be done. The total amount
would be $500, 900, or more accurately
about $50S,0O0 not including the last
payment.

TROUBLE WITH CREW.
Drunken Sailors on Henry Willard
Make Things Lively.

There was considerable pililxia on the
American ship Henry Willard Saturday
afternoon when she started for San
Francisco with big load of sugar. The
crew was drunk and Captain Quick was
put to sore straits to keep his vessel
from grounding Had it not been for
Captain Brokaw of the tug Fearless,
the ship would have been seriously
damaged. When the Fearless took the
tow from the railway wharf Captain
Brokaw soon noticed that the Willard
was not being steered properly. In fact
as she neared the Inter-Island wharf
it was seen the ship was bearing direct
ly down on the steamer Haualei Cap
tain I3rvittw managed to pull the shin
partially out of that course but the glib
boom sthruck the steamer a slanting
blow and snapped off.
The vessel was not porperly steered
after this and finally it looked as IL
she would go aground near the light
house. Captain Quick finally took the
wheel and got the vessel outside the
harbor to a safe anchorage, aided by
the Fearless. The vessel will be repair
ed, after which she is to go to San
Francisco

Governor AGAIN WORK
FINDS MUCH BUSINESS BEFORE
HIM TODAY.
DR.. Raymond Given Water Rights.
Cotton Bros. Awarded Contract for
Filling Kewalo Low Lands.

Governor Dole appeared at the capf-
tol this morning for the first time in
two weeks. He has been quite ill., but
returns feeling in good health and with
his strength entirely restored. He
found at his office this morning a big
batch of accumulated work and many
callers with business to present only
those with the most important matters
on hand were admitted.
Shortly after 10 o'clock the heads of
the bureaux were called in to discuss
together pending matters. The first
taken up was an application from DR.
Raymond to develop the water rights
at Kahikinui, Maui. The applicant was
present in person and presented his
case 1t appears that Kahikinui is an
arid cattle ranch on Maui. To develop
the water will cost a very large amount
of money, and there is no certainty at
best about securing water on the land.
After considerable discussion il was de-
cided to give DR.. Raymond a perpetual
right to half of the water developed by
him in the way specified on condition
that he turn the other half upon gov
ernment land. This decision will de-
pend, however, upon the conclusion Of
the attorney general in regard to the
question of the right of the Territorial
government to grant a perpetual right.
l.. A. Thurston came in and present.

Railway through the town of HilO.
Surveyor Wall submitted a slightly
amended map. The map of Mr. Thurs
ton was finally approved.
Mr.. McCandless submitted the bids
for filling between Kakaako and Wal
kiki beach. d. L. Davis having with
drawn, Cotton Bros, proved to be the

| was awarded.
