took the stand for the state today in
the trial of Henry Nicolaus, millionaire
brewer and Suburban director, charged
with bribery, he identified two pack
ages of money containing S135, 900,
which had been placed in escrow for
expediting the passage of franchise

presence of the jury and told over the
same story given by him on the stand

FIRST. A SITE.

OF the many arguments made at the
meeting of those who are Interested IN
the speedy securing of proper Fed
eral building for Honolulu, the one
which puts stress upon the necessity
for the provision of the site by the
city, if speedy results are to be had is
worthy of deep consideration.
1t is the history of the efforts OF main
land cities to secure public buildings
that the proffer of the ground upon
which to erect the building. expedites
materially the securing of the appro-
priations for the construction. Inc
time taken to purchase site, counting
the labors of the commission which IS
usually appointed for the purpose OF
securing the plot is never less tnah
two years. One Congress provides for
the body and the next, if the Congress
man is lucky, may appropriate the mon
ey for the purchase. But where the city
which wishes the Improvement secures
the ground, and donates it to the Ma
tional Government, one of the steps.
which usually takes the longest and
causes the most bitter discussion, is.
avoided, and only the money for build
ing is needed.
The Territorial Government now owns
the site on which stands the present
postoffice, and should it be decided by
the representative committee which
has been appointed by the Governor,
that another site is to be recommend
ed. the exchange of the present lot for
the ground so selected, would enable
the National Government to proceed
without the preliminary of making
deal for the ground, perhaps having
to proceed to condemn the piece, or
parts of it.
So great is the advantage which in

The principle of local option is a
sound and fair one and the Anti-Saloon
League is to be congratulated ON its
decision in favor of it. @'The law leaves
the whole matter to the people. If they
want saloons in a given ward or dis
trict they can have them; If they don't
want saloons they can keep them out.
This is democracy and Americanism in
its broadcast sense and if it is satisfac-
tory to the Anti-saloon League it ought
to be to the liquor men.

The Presidents message, which the
Advertiser gives its readers in full this

Its special interest to Hawaii lies in

for the payment of the Hawaiian fire

HAWAIIAN TEACHERS
RETIREMENT FUND

a meeting of the Honolulu branch of
the Territorial Teachers Association
was held in the High School building
last night. The principal discussion
was a petition to the next Legislature
for a fund to be known as the "Hawa-
iian Teachers Retirement Fund" Re-
ports have been received as to the man
ner in which such funds are started
and maintained in Massachusetts, and
who may realize from II when they be.
come disabled, i'll or incapacitated.
The plan was outlined at the meet
ing by Prof. Law on q blackboard: The
fund to be controlled by a board of
trustees, consisting OF the Superinten-
dent and Secretary of the Board of
Education, ex-officio members, and six
teachers. The Territorial Treasurer is
to have charge of all moneys. The
funds are to be obtained from deduc-
ton of $40 annually from members
salaries. grants from the Legislature,
donations, legacies, interest. etc.
The membership is open to all teach
ers and others drawing regular sala-
ries from the Education Department
provided they contribute $50 yearly for
20 years. or $500, or a part Of 5000 at
any time. A member retired or incapa-
citated may draw from the fund in
any amount proportionate to the sum
paid in. Those who retire from the
profession shall be allowed to with
draw the amount they shall have paid
in.
Prof. Law expressed himself as being
very much in favor of the proposition.
He stated that in Boston contributions
to the fund were compulsory. There
the teachers paid in SIS year and in
San Francisco the annual dues were
SIS. In Boston. only a half Of the
amount paid in could be withdrawn IL
teacher retired from the profession
In San Francisco a series of concerts
to aid the fund had brought $4,000 adj
ditional.
DR.. Rodgers. secretary of the Board
of Education, was in favor of the or
ganization of such fund. He was OF
the opinion that the government
should pension all teachers who spent
the best part of their lives in the train
ing Of children. There were go teach
ers in the Islands and they were not all
paid the best Of salaries.
Miss Felker, principal of the Kaa-
humanu school. favored the establish
ment of the fund. She was of the opin-
ion that there were philan;hrOpists
here who would willingly contribute
toward II.
The regular program FOR the evening
consisted of singing by the pupils OF
Kalihi-waena school, and violin solo
by Miss lola Barber, both Of which
were heartily applauded. DR.. Arthur
Maxson Smith read paper on the
Psychology of Vacations. and Prof.
