WHERE SERTON SCORED
Women Can Not Be Employed
bY Railroad Board.

Captain John Seaton craw1ed out from
under the wheels of the bandwagon in
the legislature long enough to fasten his
pet aversion Of women employees to at
least one the creations of the last session.
And that creation was railroad commits
sion. Mr.. Seaton succeeded in injecting
an amendment into the railroad law
providing that clerks hired by it shall
be qualified electors only.
This precludes the employment of a
woman as clerk or stenographer.
Seaton made this fight from start ID
finish Of the legislature. but in every in
stance he was Overruled and Womel.
were employed In the legislature and no
provisions made to shut them out from
employment on the several other COM
missions and other appOintive places
created But Captain Seaton was chair
man of the committee on railroads for
the house and it now appears that he did
not forget TO remember his hobby here.
The provision was inserted, the bill
threshed out in caucus and when COM
pleted, railroaded through both houses.
No particular notice was given to the
fact that qualifications were imposed
upon the commissions clerk and stencs-
rapher. until now the time has arrived
that, in the lull of battle over the rail-
road commissioners the candidates for
the one or two little places that the
board viii have to give out are looming
up
The Third district has small hopes Of
landing c. A. MCNEIL. its candidate, on
the board. but it has two candidates for
the secretaryship and one Of them may
land w H. Nelson was an unsuccess-
full candidate for that position with the
court of visitation He has better pros
poets this time. w. p. Mason, of St
Paul who was assistant chief clerk oe
the house during the recent session of
the legislature is here also with the place
in view.
It has been considered from the first
that Frank Flenniken is to be secretary
of the board, but a certain custodian az
political secrets said then and now re-
peatS that Flenniken will lose out
This is aside from the assertion ma de
by partisans that Flenniken is a resident

DEATH Of DAVID CENTER
PLANTATION MANAGER EXPIRES
AT HOSPITAL.
Deceased Identified for Many Years
With The Agricultural interests of
The Islands.

David Center, assistant manager of
SpreckelsVille plantation, died at the
Queens hospital about o'clock yester-
day afternoon of an ailment of the liver
from which he had suffered at least
three weeks and probably, insensibly,
much longer. The dead man came to
Honolulu last Sunday to undergo an
operation. He was accompanied by DR..
Armitage, his physician. The operation
was at once attempted, but the patient
weakened so greatly under it that a
postponGment was taken. Weakness
| continued until death came as. stated.
The funeral will take place at $3.50
this afternoon from st. Andrews
cathedral. Interment will be in Nuu-
anu cemetery in the Walker plot. Mrs.
Center and the two youngest children
are in the city. Three of the children
are at school in California and the
other is on Maui.
David Center was born in Scotland
forty years ago, and when very young
men he and his brother Hugh came to
| California. There they met Claus
Spreckels The millionaire took a great
fancy to the sterling Scotch lads and
was responsible for both of them COM
ing to Honolulu. At Spreckelsville
Hugh worked himself up to the office
of manager. David was working at
Hama and became its manager.
The two men remained in their res
pective positions until the great squab-
BILE in 1894 between Claus Spreckels and
his sons. AS soon as the boys got pos
session of Hawaiian Commercial they
lost no time in dispensing with the SER
vices of their fathers old right bower,
Hugh Center When Oahu plantation
was started and Mr.. Ahrens became its
manager David Center came from Maui
to take Waianae plantation. There he
remained until selected to be manager
of the American Sugar Company's
plantation on Molokai. He stuck to this
project until the water failed and the
plantation was abandoned. Then he was
offered the post of first assistant under
( Manager Lowrie at Spreckelsville, and
accepted. About three weeks ago his
health failed and he was obliged to go
constantly under the care of physicians.
A post norton held late yesterday
showed that the liver trouble was the
cause of death.

WILL LEVY TAX ON EVILS .PLAE NOT FIT FOR DOGS
NEW FISCAL SCHEME FOR SAN
FRANCISCO.
Women to be Made to Yield $1,000
of Revenue to the City.

SAN FRANCISCO, December 23.-
The police authorities of San Francisco
have practically decided to increase
the revenues of the city by making
monthly collections from Chinese
gamblers and inmates of disreputable
houses. secret conference was held
yesterday afternoon in the rooms of the
Police Commission, and although no
definite agreement was reached, the
officials adjourned with the understand
ing that action authorizing the inno-
walton would be taken next Thursday
evening.
There were present at the conference
Mayor Phelan, District Attorney By
ington, Chief of Police Sullivan, Police
Captain SDillane. Police Captain Witt
man, Police Commissioners Newhall,
Wallace, MahoneY and McNutt and
Police Judges Fritz, Cabaniss and Con-
Ian. Police Judge Morgan was I'M
avoidably absent.
According to the Mayor, there was
no serious opposition to the plan. At
tention was called to the information
CLEANED by Police Captain Whitman,
who made a trip East in 1896 to in
Nestigate methods of regulating evils
that cannot be obliterated The plan
proposed, that of having Chinese gam
blers and dissolute women forfeit the
bail on which they are released when
ever arrested, was urged as being in
conformity with the practice of such
cities as Cincinnati, Pittsburg, Mime
apolis and Seattle. These cities, it was
declared, had found the plan a good
revenue producer and an Improvement
on attempts at suppression.
1t was argued that gambling among
the Chinese would continue, despite all
precautions and penalties; that the evil
as it at present existed was a menace
to the integrity of the Police Depart
ment, because of the large sums which
the Chinese gamblers were willing to
pay for immunity from the attacks of
the men sent to suppress their games.
1t was also urged that the social evil
could not be suppressed, and must
therefore be regulated.
Every one took part in the debate,
Mayor Phelan especially arguing siren
uously in favor of the plan. This was
the arithmetic of the arguments: Sixty
Chinese gambling-house proprietors ar
rested once a month and allowed to
forfeit $50 would yield a revenue of
$4,000 a month, or $4,000 a year; in
mates of disreputablc houses arrested
once a month and allowed to forfeit
SIS, which represents 10 per cent of the
monthly rental, would yield a revenue
roughly calculated at $4,000 a year;
grand total, 100000 a year.

THE PLACE WHERE LEPERS LIVE
IN SAN FRANCISCO.
Some Reasons Why Pratt Was Lucky
When He Got Permission to Come to
Honolulu.

san Francisco lepers may well want
to get place on Molokai, and lepeT
Pratt may consider himself lucky that
he is not in the place where the Golden
Gate city keeps her victims of leprosy,
as is shown by the following, from the
San Francisco Chronicles account of
some Christmas kicks among the in
mates of the pest house:
Another cause of complaint was the
need of clothes. The women, especially
are insufficiently dressed for keeping
warm. The building in which the white
lepers are housed is unfit for the kennel
of dogs. Nearly every window sash
lacks more than one pane of glass. The
roof leaks in dozen places and through
numerous chinks in the walls the light
streams over the floors. During the
last storm the inmates were constantly
in a state of fear lest their abode should
tumble to the ground. The house occu-
pied by the Chinese is in better condi-
ton, but the whites refuse to be quar-
tered with them. Their bedding is of
the scantiest. The white girl, Lena
said that she never had a sheet on her
bed until some strangers called, and
seeing the condition of things sent
sheets to her.
THE lepers had still other griefs
Some of them had seen oranges and
fruits come to the Pesthouse for the
use of the inmates; but when the din
ner was served the fruits were not on
the table. SO they did not hesitate to
charge somebody in authority with APP
propriating the dainties. Several of the
lepers stated that on various occasions
they had not received things actually
addressed to them. Even the night
Waterman, f. p. Calendar, admitted
that the dinner of yesterday and the
usual fare given the lepers was not at
all what was provided for them by the
city and by those who visited them.
He said that some of the Protestant
charitable societies had sent the lepers
some apples a few days ago, but what
became of them neither he nor the in
mates could tell"

EIGHTH ANNUAL REPORT
Of the Evangelical Lutheran Board
of Education.

Des Moines, Ia, June 5.-The general
synod of the Evangelical Lutheran
church devoted today to discussion OF
the eighth annual report of the board
of education. A motion was made to
give one-third of the apportionment of
funds to the board for the ensuing BIZ
ennium. to Carthage college at Garth
age, Ill, and was discussed at length
Dr. Bannon of Rockford, Ill. pleaded for
the allowance for the college, calling
attention to the fact that $1,000 had
been pledged at the last biennial but
had not been paid. 1T does not matter
so much that these newspaper men say
we are body of scrappers,' he said,
''but don't let the report go out that We
break our faith"
The synod expects to adjourn Thurs
day evening.
The eighth annual report of the board
of education showed that the total
number of students registered in 1899
1900 was 1856 and in 10000, Sc. The per-
centage of protesting Christians among
them was so.
The amount received cor the work
has increased from $S,709 in 1899 to $685.
993 in 1901. For this constant growth in
the support the board was grateful and
it was stated that the schools have in
them the promise of a larger growth
and greater fruitage of faithfully nur-
tured by the church. The limitation oc-
casfoned by the payment of so small
a part of the apportionment is deeply
to be regretted Profound is the con-
viction that unless the church can be
aroused to a truer apprehension of the
function and force of Christian educa-
ton and a greatly increased influence,
she must fail in taking the place she is
called to occupy among the organized
forces Of Christendom- The time has
passed when our colleges and seminar
les can be sustained with the crumbs
of our benevolence. VIII we make the
adequate response, or will we Ioite3.
