TWO OFFICERS SERENDEDHN ALREADY REGISTERED
MAITLAND AND TRIESTE ARE
LAID OFF.
Papa Ita Ready to Walk Agalu-The
Tough Deal Given To- Aruleryman
Murray

Officers Haitland and Trieste of the
mounted patrol have been suspended
on account Of their conduct yesterday
at the Papa lta hot-rOck matinee The
high sheriff is investigating the affair
aud both men are i'm danger of losing
their positions for their part i'm helping
out the management of the hot stone
artists stunt.
The officers are accused of siding with
Lewis an The row that broke up the
Tahitians matinee. They. with several
other policemen, went for the unfor-
tunnte artilleryman Murray en- massa
and people who saw them make the
charge wondered that Murray didn't
go through the fence when they struck
MN. Maitland is also accused Of haV-
ing struck Murray when called upon to
do his duty as an officer.
Maitland was the acting lieutenant on
the scene, Captain Fox of the mounted
patrol being on a vacation. He was
close by Murray when Lewis, angered
by the soldiers start across the hot
rocks in stocking feet, pushed Murray
out of the enclosure and followed him
with a cowardly kick from behind.
Murray called upon Maitland to arrest
Lewis and was doubtless astonished by
the result Of his call, for Maitland
swatted Murray and paid no attention
TO Lewis.
Captain Fox of the mounted patrol
was somewhat i'm the dumps this morn
ing and regretted that he had taken
vacation. He thought that the men
had lost their heads, from all accounts
Of the affair.
Papa lta is nothing daunted. He has
plenty OF rocks and means to have
them made hot again Papa deeply
appreciates the sentiments Of those
who wondered while he walked yester-
day and cheered when he had done.
Next Saturday evening, ID. ", he will
again plant his calloused trilbies where
Murray stood in stocking feet defying
At once the fire and the management
thereof. 1t is expected that there will
be large crowd. tia and his managers
are beginning to be really regarded as
wonders, though not of the kind they
expected.

BACK TOSCHOOLB
ISLAND MASTERS MUST TAKE
ENAMINATIONs soon.
Government Inspectors of Huus and
Boilers Arrive Yesterday To- Examine
Captains for Certificates to Navigate.

Uneasy rests the head which guides
an island steamer az the present time
as the government officials who are To-
examine the various masters for cap
talMe certificates are here ready foI
business. George n, Whitney. and
Car, 4, Lehners, Federal inspector ct
Hulls and Boilers respectively arrived
yesterday on the transport Grant FOR
the purpose Of examining and inspect

suing masters certificates To those Of
ticerE who are deemed proficient.
For the last three years we have
been at Juneau, Alaska said Mr.
Whitney acting as government ms
pectors for the Alaskan trade. The
shipping is very extensive in that Sec

While gold Is the principal production,
the fishing industry on the western
coast is very extensive and is indeed.
probably more extensive in that sec
tion than Is the gold mining.
How long we shall remain here /
am unable to say. We will proba bly,
not be longer than four or five weeks.
Our duties are to inspect all of the
vessels in the island trade and examine
the various grades of officers and grant
certificates to those who are able to
pass examinations. We realize however
that the conditions are rather peculiar
in these islands and more attention will
proba bly, be paid TO practical than theo-
reticai navigation. 1t is not our desire
OF purpose to work any undue hardships
upon the sailors here and we shall con-
slider the previous records of shipping
in these islands, for l understand that
there nave been comparatively few
losses of vessels.
THE practical knowledge which the
masters have gained i'm navigation is
another tEing which will be taken into
consideration. If any Of them fail to
pass and the men not improve their
that they are deficient in any particular
point which is not material they will
be given an opportunity for redeeming
this lack of knowledge. Our desire is
to make the examinations as easy for
the men yet to bring the standard as
high as possible under the circumstan-
ces. Should there be any failure to
pass and the men not improVce their
knowledge within the time which we
give them during our stay here, they
Will have to go to San Francisco to
take the examination, unless they wait
until the next visit of the inspectors.

ed with the exact details of the work
before us but will begin at once to learn
this. There are several grades of certi-
ficates to be granted but how far such
examinations will be conducted here
and how many men will be required tc

vessels. We have offices in the custom
house and are ready to conduct the ex-
aminations as soon as the men present

THE BOARD IS 70 BLAME
CAUSE or SHORTAGE or TARo is
HONOLULU.
To Save Three cents the Health Board
Loses Dollars and Brings Famine g.

ed of the latter. so the Board has uC
recourse whatever.
When tenders were invited the low
est bids We're those Of T.. H. Bailey and
the native TO whom the contract was
let. Mr.. Baileys bid was 60 cents a
bundle, or tWenty-one pounds, and the
other mans fifty seven cents. The
former Is known generally as a reliable
man. He had secured his land and was
prepared to put In all the taro the set
tlement would require The native had
a little taro, but there was nothing else
about his proposition to indicate a
faithful fulhllment OF his contract. To
save the little three cents a bundle,
however, the Board Of Health gave
him the contract. He supplied taro in
an Indifferent sort Of way for nearly a
year, exhausted his limited resources
and then just simply quit. When the
Board went after him II was to find
that the man was able o laugh at then

The settlement consumes a great dea

local market as a purchaser II drains

Chinese do not as a rule raise more

In the minds Of many the Board OF

to save three cents it is costing itselt

AFTER THE FIRE WALKER
UNCLE SAM WANTS $40 OUT OF
PAPA TIA.
BY An Omission in Law Old Tahitian
Escapes Having to Pay $1OO-Reyenue
Office in Quandry.

Papa Ita will have to pay $40 to I'm
Gle sam for the privilege of conducting
MS fake exhibition of walking on hot
stones in Honolulu. He many thank
ms lucky stars that it was not Sl0O
Inc reason 1t was not, was due to an
omission In the law, or probably that
the law says too much. The law spe-
cifies that a license of 800 shall be re-
qulred for circuses and various kinds of
outdoor exhibitions, but makes the mis-
take of mentioning them. The Con-
gresham had evidently not heard of
Papa lta, as there is no mention of
rake not stone walking in the law.
The matter has been carefully look
ed up by the revenue officials. They
were sure that to carry out the spirit
or the law the old Tahitian should be
made to pay 800, but the letter of the
law was different. Under one clause
only could he be reached, and that pro-
Vlded fee Of $40 year, or for one or
any number of performances in the
open air for exhibitions other than
those named in the Act.
After celebrating on the matter ever
since the exhibition began it was this
morning decided to tax Papa TIA $40.
Outside Inspector Drake was instructed
to collect the amount from the old Ia
hltian and issue to him a license to
carry on his show for a year If he so
wishes. This message was delivered
The fire walker sent word that he
would go to the revenue office himself,
ana VIII be expected there this after
noon.
The Hawaiian Opera House, Orpheum
theater and Japanese theater have all
paid licenses of 800 for year. This
Is required even If only one perform
ance is given in the twelve months.
Papa Ita, who gets most out of the
town for the least, therefore, gets off
light.

Those Given Certificates are Going

matter of accommodation to them. The
half Chinese boy I'm the revenue office
and some few others have also quail
fed.
There has been some misunderstand
| ing about the requirements of the law
in regard to Chinese registering The
government does not run after China
men nor compel any of them to register
II is matter entirely i'm their own
discretion. The Chinaman takes his
own chances. Should he ever be haul
ed up it will be necessary for him to
furnish his own proof that he is legal
ly in the country. If he has a certi-
ticate of registration. that will settle IL;
II no, he must prove his case by three
white witnesses. Chinese witnesses
viii not do.
There is no probability that any Ha-
waiian born Chinaman will ever be re-
turned TO China for failure to have a
certificate, for such a man will be able
to prove his case should the question
arise. This is given out officially by the
revenue officials. There is no doubt
but that the act forbidding the emigra-
tion of Hawaiian Chinese to the main

be made. II is there that the trouble
would come. a Hawaiian Chinese ar,
riving at San Francisco would certain

nave proper papers. 1t would then be
necessary for him to send back to the
Islands for three white men to person
ally identify him and swear TO his hav-
ing been born here This would cost
Mr. Chinaman neat sum of money.
The experiment was tried a short
time ago by Chinaman born and rais-
ed in San Francisco. He turned up his
nose at the suggestion of registering,
claiming protection under his Ameri-
can birth. All went well until he start
ed to travel He was hauled up in Ne
