WITHOUT FOOD FO\ DAYS
CREW OF WAIALUA BECALMED
LAST WEEK.
Captain Says That He and His Men
Existed on Nothing but Tea for over
Two Days.

To the surprise of nearly every one on
the water front the schooner Waialua
turned up in port this morning, safe
and sound. Her captain and the four
members of the crew had a terrible ex-
perience. For over two days they were
without food, and had it not been for
little tea which was aboard the vessel,
they would probably have been so weak
as to be unable to bring the vessel into
port.
According to the latest reports
brought here last Saturday morning by
the schooner Ada, the Waialua was
thought to have gone on the rocks at
Kaena Point. Captain Cater of the
Ada saw the vessel standing close in
toward the point last Wednesday night
She was becamed and it was thought
very likely that she would drift onto
the rocks,
There was q very good reason why the
schooner was not sighted by the Ada
however. Captain Henry Kualaa of the
Waialua says that after the wind left
his vessel close in shore she began TO
drift out to sea, until she was fully
so miles off Kaena Point. From late
Wednesday night until yesterday, he
saw the boat was beclamed. To make
matters worse the. provisions ran short
on Thursday and by Friday night the
last crumb was eaten. From Friday
night until yesterday morning, the ves-
sci lay helpless.
Finally a sea breeze sprang up on
Sunday morning and the vessel made
for land. Captain Kualaa wanted to
try and make Waianae in order to Sc
cure some provisions. When he cot OF
that point however he found 1t would
be folly to venture in toward shore as
the water was too rough and the ves-
sci would have been swept upon the
rocks. It was decided to make for Ho-
nolulu. The vessel came into port this
morning about 10 o'clock.
Manager Lansing was very angry at
the crew. He said that he had heard
they had collected about $25 of freight
money at Hanalei and blown all the
money in. The result was that when
they found themselves beclamed off
the island. their supplies ran short. He
discharged the crew ana VIII secure
other men to take the vessel to Kauai
this week.

David Laughs, by the &inau. teiling of
CONDITIONS in hamakUd. 1t tells o. an
Otner fire tnat started a week ago and
which could not be traced 70 It's origin
by a jury caned to investigate. Ihe
letter is aJ follows, dated the 18th:
"Mr. Boyd's letter to the Governor
gives you an account of our work for
me first few Gays of our visit to Ha-
waii. After visiting the fires we re-
turned to Waimea; that was on last
FRIDAY night. We stayed at Waihea
until Monday morning. On Sunday
evening Albert Horner telephoned to
Mr. Boyd stating that fire had start
ed in the trash on Hamakua Plantation
and spread into a part of forest land
adjoining the Louisson Brothers
coffee, and from there it spread into
cane field belonging to n Portuguese
and destroyed about As acres of cane.
Mr.. Boyd and l talked the matter over
and concluded that the best thing to do
was that l should return to Hamakua
on Monday morning while he and Mr.,
Campbell went to Kohala. l started
for the fire early on Monday morning.
so that l might be present at the in
quest which was going to be held that
day.
"The Judge and Jupymen and l visit

in forest and found them still burning
slowly. Mr.. HorneT has his men there
digging trenches and trying to keep
the fires from spreading and they are
pretty we'll under control at present,
but should the wind rise sparks from
the large trees may carry over the
trenches and start on the other side.
The wind has been very light for the

SIEWARIUPFORCONIEMPI

NJ. A. Robinson was absent when the
Grand Jury called for him this morn
ing to testify regarding the alleged
shooting of a Chinese by Joe Davis
and young Robinson some weeks ago,
and as a result Attorney T. McCants
Stewart will have to answer for con-
tempt tomorrow morning, as the wit
ness is said to have been induced to
remain away by advice of Stewart.
A bench warrant for Robinson was
issued by Judge Gear when foreman
Kawananakoa of the Grand Jury re-
ported that the witness had not come
after being subpoenaed Robinson was
found and brought into court.
He explained to the judge that he
had not come because Stewart had told
him that it was not necessary, as the
matter would not come up today. Ro-
binson had been regularly summoned
and the court informed him that the
subpoena was all he had to pay atten-
tion to.
The judge issued a citation for Stew
art to appear at $3.50 tomorrow morn
in" and show cause why he should not
be punished for contempt.

STR.EI CORNER NOTATION
CORNEES, CORRESPOND WITH
CARDINAL POINTS.
Curtis J. Lyons Suggests a Defnits
System of Notation Which is Both
Accurate and Simple.

EDITOR STAR: There has been q
good deal Of confusion of late in the
designation Of the different corners of
street intersections in Honolulu 1t rs
quite customary to speak of them as
Northeast southeast southwest"
ana, northwest" especially with peo-
pie who come from the middle West
United states where most of the towns
are laid out with the streets running
north and south, east and west. From
natural causes, and not by chance or
mistake, the main streets of Honolulu
run northwest and southeast north
east aud southwest. The corners there
fore, and not the sides are on the four
cardinal points.
Let the corner of Fort and King
streets for instance be taken as an ex-
ample. To a person standing at tho
center of intersection of the two
streets, Halls corner and HobrOn's are.
both nearly equally southwest; Ho-
bron's and the harness, shop are equally
northwest; and so on OF course one
of the above specified is very slightly
more southwest than the other, but tt
would require careful measurement to
determine which one it was of the two.
In this line l would say that real es-
tate agent actually went to two differ
ent surveyors on q case OF this KIND
and they gave him two differeI an
swers, one giving one as the northnasE
corner, and the other the other
The simple fact is that the corners
are respectively north, east, south anA
west, l. e. according to the cardinal
points of the compass and not the mid
way points. Halls corner is the south
corner of Fort and King; Hebron TIE
west corner; the harness shop is ON hhe
north corner, and the Mcintyre build
inc on the east corner. With these
designations there is no possible am
biguity.
IL real estate agents. insurance COM
panies, post office authorities, ana
newspaper reporters will take note az
the above, there will be a defntleneaS
of notation which does not exist at
present. Also there will be no need or
the cumbrous terms, "Ewa- ma ukag
EVA makai," "Waikiki-mauka,' etc,
now used which we have borrowed
from our Hawaiian friends
1t would be well for teachers in the
public schools to instruct the children
in this matter, practically showing
them which Is the north cor"er c' the
school house, and also of - " oot
room and so on and thus edu, 'eA EN-
in the art or knowledge of orr Ion,
in which ordinary civilized people are
woefully deficient.
The terms "mauka side OF KING
street" and "makai side OF KING
street" are legitimate and convenient.
strangers can avoid confusing the two
nv remembering that the vowel souna
| in the first syllable of ''mauka" Is the
same as in tie first syllable Of "moun-

TEACHERS DISAPPOINTED
INDIGNATION AND MUCH SOR-
ROW IN MANILA.
The 500 Teachers who Passed Through
Here on the Thomas are in All Kinds
of Pilikia.

There is weeping and wailing and
gnashIng of teeth among the school
teachers who passed through here on
the transport Thomas. word received
by the Doric this morning indicates
mat never as disappointed lot of in
dividuaIs ever uIsembarked after a
pleasant journey filled with bright
hopes and peasant day dreams as the
SIX hundred and odd school teachers
who went to Manila by the Thomas.
They were not long in finding out
that things were not as they expected
them to be and as soon as they found
it out they exercised their good Ameri-
can privilege of holding an indignation
meeting and denouncing what they
didn't like.
When the Thomas arrived in Manila,
superintendent of Education DR.. f. w.
Atkinson called the teachers all to-
gether and had several days confer
ences with them. 1t was when he be-
gan to tell them just how things were
and what about it," that the gilded
dreams of tropical isles, and the build
ing up of American ideals in the far
east began to evaporate. In the first
place DR.. Atkinson had to tell them
that the country was far from settled,
and that there was liable to be out
breaks wherever they went. AS if to
'
while these conferences were In session
there was an outbreak a few miles out
of manila in which two Americans and
two friars were killed. Troops sent out
to quell this outbreak killed seventeen
Filipinos.
Another thing DR.. Atkinson told
them was that the army commissary

( teachers. This did create a howl. 1t
was what the teachers had been count
ino on. They Immediately held an in
dignatiOn meeting, and adopted a reso-
luton to protest to be cabled to Presi-
dent Mckinley, this being before Nc
Kinley was shot.
Generally the teachers found that
they were to be sent to different cities
scattered through the group; that the
country was unsettled, and their pupils
of today might be the insurgents of to-
! morrow seeking their lives with bolo
or Winchester, to turn up the day after
as amigos" to shed a tear over the
grave of their late dear teacher.
The teachers also found that in many
| places it would be impossible to get al
! andurable boarding place, and that II
they did it would take all their salary
to pay for it. So strongly was this fact
impressed On lItUl lidl Il NlOlS CIOI
of jokes sprang up based on the rela-
ton of prices of necessities to salary
and the conclusion that after having
| paid for one necessity the teachers
would have to get all others for moth
ing.
DR.. Atkinson also told the teachers
that the Filipino did not want schools
or teachers very much anyway.
Some of the teachers who went by
the Thomas We're so disappointed and
DISCOURAGED that they refused to re-
main in the Philippines and returned
by the Thomas.

family will make their headquarters in

TOO BUSY To START SUIT
WHY COUNTY ATTORNEY HAS NOT
PROSECUTED 500 ROAD.

Assistant County Attorney O'Nen yes
terday explained to the board of county
commissioners yesterday the reason the
long pending suits against the 500 line in
connection with grade crossings have
not been started.
He said pressure of business had been
SO great in the county attorneys Office
that it had been impossible to reach them
before now.
They were set for the December cal
endar, but it was found that the criminal
docket was so heavy that they were
transferred to the January docket, and he
felt confident the fight would be begun In
earnest at the opening of the January
term of court.
The case of Bernard G. and Arthur W.
Nelson, the children committed to the
county jail by Judge Orr, was taken up
by the board, and the matter referred
to the judge of probate, the board order
ing them to be committed to the state
public school.
Officer Bingham, of the Owatonna
school, reported that Harry Coffin, the
youth committed to that institution by
the municipal court, was too bad case
for that school to handle, and suggested
his removal to Red Wing. The board will
concur with the suggestion when the
necessary papers are presented.

WANTS MORE MONEY
LIBRARY BOARD NOW HAS
GRIEVANCE AGAINST CITY
COMPTR OLLER
ONLY $4,000 FOR NEW BOOKS
Minneapolis Is More Liberal in Pro-
yiding for Needs of Library
Handicapped by Debt
on Building.

While not INDUCING in unduly severe
language, the library board feels any,
thing but kindly toward Comptroller Nc
Cardy for his unwarranted interference
in reducing the sum they asked to have
inserted in the budget for next year. In
order to replenish some rather badly de-
pleted shelves the board figured on about
S, eco for books, but when Mr.. McCardy
submitted his figures to the conference
committee only $4,000 was inserted
For the purpose of. having these figures
corrected the board last evening appoint
ed three of its members to appear before
the council when it takes up the budget
Through an accident in the makeup Of
the charter the board is not entitled to
representation ON the conference commit
tee, and because of this fact no one was
present, and the committee took it for
granted that the figures were all right
and passed them.
In behalf of their request, the board
will show that st. Paul Is far behind
Minneapolis in the matter of liberality.
There So, 900 and over Is often given for
the purchase Of books alone each year.
The board last night debated long and
earnestly as to the advisability of paying
its old indebtedness Immediately or using
the money in increasing the size of the
reading room. The council last year set
aside $4,000 for the payment of the old
building debt, but portion of the money
will not be available for some months
yet. In order to wipe it out as quickly
as possible the board has been encroach-
irg on its own private funds, but some
of the members are opposed to this meth
cd, and desire to wait until the money
becomes available. It was decided to
postpone the settlement Of the question
until Mr.. McCardy could be commune
Gated with and the exact status of the
fund ascertained.
The board last night set aside 1920 for
the purchase Of new books.

QUESTION OF 81 GAS
THAT RATE BE MADE
GENERAL
GAS COMPANY WON'T CoNCEDE
Intimated That Lighting Concern Is
Holding Out 81 Proposition as a
Teaser to Gain Further
Concessions.

The offer of the St Paul Gas Light
company to furnish the city with gas at
81 per thousand feet, meter measure, re-
ceived at the meeting of the board of al
dermen Tuesday evening, was the prin-
cipa1 topic of conversation among city Of
ficials yesterday.
Some carried the matter to the legal de-
partment, and it would not be surprising
if carefully Worded resolution, demand
ing that the price be made general, was
introduced at the meeting Of the assembly
this evening.
While evidently aware of the step they
were taking, the officials of the gas COM
pany say they have no intention of re-
ducing the price to the public at large be-
low $1.30 net. The reason a figure of 81
per thousand is given the city, they say
is because it is large consumer. Presi-
dent Lathrop contends that If the gas
used in street lamps was measured, it
would be shown that the city has been
securing a rate better than 81.
A year ago when trouble was expert
enced in securing what the council
thought was reasonable bid for electric
and gas lighting, the legal department
gave it's opinion that a lower price could
be forced, if the price was considered I'M
reasonable. 1t was held that the courts
would uphold such proceedings If they
were in reason.
While the gas company disputes, the
contention, the legal department. has long
held that the franchises of both the Ed
son and Gas Light companies will expire
in 1907, and Tuesday nights marked drop,
it is said is only preliminary to an offer
that will be made the city, ere long, in
return for an assurance Of undiSturbed
possession of the streets and alleys.
