MISSION OF
A WOMAN
Will Search for
Husband in
Thibet.
BRIGANDS BESET
THE COUPLE
Mrs. Rijnhart May Pass Through
Honolulu on the Doric
on Thursday.

Among the passengers on the Doric
there will probably be woman en-
route to Thibet, the land in the shadow
Of the giant Himalayas, to search for
her husband and visit the grave of her
little boy whom she buried on the steep
sides of the snow-capped Dang La
mountain. The husband was lost and
whether living or dead, Dr. Susan Car
son Rinhart is unable to say. If he
lives his faithful wife expects to join
him. If dead she viii at least know
the truth and rid herself of the sus-
pense which has lain ike pail over
her life since he left the country four
years ago.
In the autumn of 1894, having been
recently married in Hiram, o., DR.. and
Mrs. Rijnhart bade farewell to America
and started on their mission to declare
the Gospel to the Thibetan country.
They planned to go to the extreme
northwest frontier, with the great
Lamasery of Kumbum as their OBJ
jective point. After six months travel
they reached Luscar. They received
kindly welcome from the inhabitants
who were glad to avail themselves of
the newcomers medical skill.
AT Luscar and at Tankar, the next
station opened by the Drs, Rijnhart,
happy time was passed. despite the ter
rible Mohammedan uprising. A Chris
tian home was established in the lat
ter place. Here, also, a baby boy was
born.
1t was a spring day in 1898 when,
with the baby, Charley, who was then
year old. they began their perilous
journey. AS they fronted the Dang La
Mountains Charley who has been i'll for
a few days, died, and there they buried
him.
They approached the Tsa Chu river,
which they hoped to ford and then find
the Lamasery, their objective point.
AS the plSrlInS reached the Iofu Lney
were attacked by a band of brigands.
The Rijnharts barely escaped with
their lives and sought refuge in some
cliffs.
Mrs. Rijnhart was exhausted, and
her husband, cautioning her to remain
in the spot until his return, set forth
alone to reconnoiter. She waited in
vain through the night the next day,
the following night and still another
day.
From the day of his disappearance
Mrs. Rijnhart has never seen or heard
of her husband but lives in the hope
that he is still alive. After many trials
such as a woman travelling alone.
among strangers, in a foreign land,
might encounter, Mrs. Susie Carson
Rijnhart reached the outer world and
returned to America.

Advocates Of the Present Postoffice
Location Have a Second
Choice.
The Majority Will Favor Placing New Building
at King and Bishop Streets---0ther
Lots Available.

office Of the Department of Justice.
This might mean that the whole mat
ter would be settled during the present
short session by an appropriation for
the immediate construction of a build
ing to house all the offices of the Fed
eral branch of the government here.
While these arguments are being
made by the men who confess that
they are working to keep the postoffice
in the business center, it is the COM
mon report that there is another
reason back of it all, and one which
has practically solidified opinion
wherever it has become current. From
sources which are regarded as reliable,
comes the story that Commissioner
Eustis had intimated that in the event
of a change in the site, he would not
recommend any purchase of private
lands while the Federal government
had plenty of lots which would be suit
able for the postoffice. The Commits
sioner is further alleged to have rep
resented that he considers that what
| is known as the drill shed plot was
entirely satisfactory to him as a site
for postoffice, and he could see no
reason why, with the Waikiki growth
OF the business section, this would not
be location which would appeal to
| the people, as the transit lines run
close to it from all directions
Meanwhile. other sites are coming
the final decision. 1t was represented
to the members of the committee yes
| terday that S. c. Allen had signified a
willingness to name a price upon the
! lots which belong to him, extending
from Alakea to Richards street on
King street. No price has been men
toned, but the intimation was that IL
the committee considered the site
available, price would be named
which would make the plot attractive
| Many persons who believe that the
CSllICI VI activity Will
be further down town, are urging that
! the Merchant street frontages be not
/ lost sight of in the seeking of a place
to build. One of the plots which have
! been suggested is that block at the
corner of Merchant and Alakea, oppo-
site to the gore lot; while another is
the Irwin holding on Merchant street,
which will be at the corner of Bishop
street, which it is planned in the near
future to have run down to the bay
front.
No meeting of the committee has
been called, but it is understood that
action to this effect will be had soon
after the return of Commissioner Eus-
It's There will be a consultation with
him today, and his wishes as to a
meeting will be followed,

First on the Records.

WASHINGTON, December The
Supreme Court today delivered the
first opinion ever rendered by it in a
case coming up from Hawaiian court,
The case was that Of the Equitable
Life Assurance Society of the United
States against Cecil Brown, admiEis-
traitor of the estate of D. B. Smith. Mr..
Smith was domiciled in Hawaii, and
while there took out life insurance
policy. He afterwards died in San
Francisco. His administrators were
appointed both in Hawaii AM in New
York, the latter appointment being
made at the instance of relatives in
this country The insurance company
refused to pay the policy to the Ha-
waiian administrator on the ground
that by its terms the policy is payable
at its New York office. The Territorial
courts decision was opposed to this
contention and today's opinion dii not
disturb the case as thus left, the court
dismissing the writ on the ground that
no federal question is involved.

PRAISE FOR THE
LOCAL OFFICIALS
internal Revenue Commissioner
Says Illicit DistiIIing is
Decreasing.

The Commissioner of Internal Rev
enue pays high compliment in his an
nual report to the federal authorities
in Hawaii. Hawaii is the only state or
territory that gets particular mention
in the report. The commissioner says:
Violations of the internal revenue laws
in the Hawaiian Islands have been
looked after closely. The courts there
have shown disposition to see that
the Federal laws relating to internal
revenue are properly enforced and to
punish fnfractions. Reports show that
Illicit distiIling is rapidly decreasing in
the islands"

Projected.

Plans for the laying out of the Aala
park playground have been received by
Superintendent of Public Works Cooper.
The park will take in the entire tract

Gently by the use of the material dredg-
in shape for some landscape gardening.
In the plan the Aala warehouse, which
was constructed during plague times,
and which Is now used as school
house in part, will be taken down.
AT the corner of Beretania and River

yards of the plot toward King street
will be laid out playground proper.
There will be track for field sports,
having five laps to the mile, and on the
Eva side having a straightaway 120
yard dash level. The running: track
will surround the baseball and football
field. The diamond will be laid out
looking toward the southwest, the
catcher's position being ct the Bere-
tania street end.

With the return of Commissioner
Eustis from his Hilo trip, he being
expected this morning in the Mauna
Loa, discussion of the most satisfacto-
ry site for a public building wilt be
resumed, and decision by the COM
mittee will follow within a short time.
Many changes in the local situation,
with rumors and counter statements,
marked yesterday, and last evening
the men who have been most active
in the canvassing declared that upon
the answer which the Commissioner
will make to one question may depend
the settlement of the entire matter.
One report which gained great cur
rency yesterday was that the repre-
sentative of the Secretary of the Treas
ury had said before his departure that
he could not recommend the present
site of the postoffice for new building.
This came to the ears of the men who
have been instrumental in the send
ing around of the petitions, which
have been numerously signed, asking
that the building be placed upon the
present site.
1t was decided by those most at in
terest that they would wait upon Com
missioner Eustis upon his arrival to-
day and ascertain if he had made a
decision that the present location was
not in keeping with the plans of the
United States for proper building for
this city. In case it should develop
that this is the case, the majority OF
the advocates of the Merchant and
Bethel streets site will at once with
draw their petitions and begin a cam
paign to have the committee decide
that the lot which may be secured
from the Bishop estate, at the corner
of King and Bishop streets, opposite
the new Young building, is the most
available.
The reasons assigned for the selec-
ton OF this site by those who have
made such a strong fight for the pres
ent place is principally on account OF
the fact that the government could
have the site in fee simple upon short
| notice, according to two of the most
prominent of the advocates. They
argue that as the Bishop estate has
promised to exchange the plot for 9TH
er public lands of equal value, placing
on their lot a valuation of 81 a foot
the arrangements could be made at
once, the title guaranteed, and the
opinion of the United States District
Attorney drawn, so that when the Com
missioner returns to Washington he
will be able to lay before the Secreta-
ry a title to the ground, with the nee
essary formality of the approval of the

SHERIFF TO SELL
FAMOUS BRIDGE
Levy Court and Fahey Struc-
ture to be Sold on De
cember IS

On a judgment OF the Edge Moor
Bridge Company against Patrick Fahey
for 5000, the Seventh street bridge
which has caused so much trouble dur
irlg the past year between Fahey and
the Levy Court, is to be sold by the
sheriff in a few days. The necessary
orders for the sale we're placed in the
hands Of Sheriff Mcdaniel yesterday.
Fahey built the bridge and had re-
ceived $4,000 on account. The con-
tract price was $2S.OOO, and the present
court refused 70 pay the remainder
claiming the structure does not comply
wan the specifications.
IL would hardly be profitable for the
Levy Court TO purchase the bridge al
sherin's sale.as It would probably have
to pay S9,700, the amount of the judg
ment, or nearly $1,000 more than il
owes Fahey on the contract price.
