SUES FOR LOSS Of ARM
Earl Stout Asks for .S8, ,599 Damages
from &. f.. Nicholson for Accident
at Smelter.

Readers of the REGISTER will remem-
ber the distressing accident which be-
fell Earl Stout, the seventeen-year-old
son of John Stout, last February while
employed at the Nicholson smelter
The boy stumbled and fell into an ore
crusher which mangled his right arm
to the elbow, necessitating amputa-
tion. Through his father the boy has
brought suit in district court for dam
ages in the sum of sS, 599.75.
In his petition the plaintiff states
that the ore crusher was not enclosed
and charges criminal carelessness on
the part of the owner of the works.
The boy, regularly employed elsewhere
in the works, was put at work at the
crusher. While walking about near 10
he caught his foot on pipe, stumbled
onto some loose chunks of ore and was
pitched forward Trying to catch
himself, he extended his right arm,
unfortunately extending it right into
the revolving crusher. 1t was one of
the most distressing of the many acci-
dents which have occurred at the
factories, for IL removed the right arm
from mere boy, thus handicapping
him in the race of life. The loss of
wages resulting Is estimated at 500 IS,
the suffering and anguish at $500, and
the permanent injury at $4,000.

The Hygiene of Old Age

We look upon the aged with good
reason as having a slender hold upon
life one that may be loosened by
slight shock of injury or disease
which, in the young or middle-aged
would serve only as a stimulus to the
reparative vital powers. This is
conservative belief, but it warns us to
shield our loved ones, who have
fought the fight, from all influences
which might shorten their stay with
us. But we must not go too far in our
solitude, for injury may be inflicted
and life shortened by coddling the
young The vital processes in the
aged are slow, but they are still exist
ent, and they may be kept active by
gentle opposition ard stimulation,
just as they may be increased in
childhood and youth by rough
methods. DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pep
sin and Herb Laxative Compound is
boon to the aged and intrm and

LAY PLANS
FOR new
PLAY SPOT
M'KinIey Park Is to
Be LeveIed
Up.
BASEBALL FIELD
IN THE CENTER
Tennis Courts and Bicycle Path
Will be Constructed But the
Grand Stand Waits.

Plans for the filing in OF the site of
terday by the Executive Committee of
the Memorial Committee, and steps viii;
be taken at once for the commence
ment OF the work of preparing the
grounds for the next season Of sports.
The plans contemplate grounds for
baseball. football. tennis and general
playground for children, and as well a
bicycle speed way, with roads and an
ornamental Improvement of the lake
which forms one corner of the site pur-
chased from the Bishop estate.
The plans provide for the cutting
down of the trees in section of the
park lying along the King street and
western frontages as well, to form an
oval space which viii be turned into a
baseball field. The field viii be about
450 by 300 feet clear, and there will be
additional width beneath the standing
foliage trees. The plan calls for the
construction of a grand stand on the
western side of the field, but the COM
mittee did not accept the plans for this
stand, but win take up the matter of
the building later, contenting itself now
with the provision for the filing and
preparation in general for the grounds
Around the baseball field and passing
between the diamond and the grand
stand will be laid a bicycle speedway
which will be a quarter mile in length
the path being fifteen feet in width.
The entire play ground will be encom-
passed by a driveway of thirty feet
which will pass on the outside OF the
grand stand This driveway will also
pass around the tennis courts and down
to the lake shore The committee de-
cided that nothing in the way of the
beautifying of the lake will be under
taken at this time, and all the energies
of the committee will be devoted to the
construction of the play grounds prop
er. The plans were drawn by Architect
Pinkham, several others being consid-
cred.
Owing to the fact that Governor Dole
will leave in the steamer on Friday, for
a trip to Hawaii, a meeting of the com
mittee will be held on that day to con-
slider several changes in the plans which
have been suggested, and to order the
beginning of work upon the filing Of
the mauka portion on the grounds at
once.

the addresses but the sender is taking
mighty big chance.
Il can't explain to you just how a
clerk receives a 'hunch' that a news
paper roll contains contraband mate
rials, but after long experience with
mail matter he comes to know it in
stinctively. It's the same with bank
clerk who counts money. When he
reaches the end of a roll of hundred
bills he has been counting he has an
intuition sometimes that two bills are
stuck together and on a careful re-
count he finds this to be so.
Then again newspapers with contra
band articles inside sometimes pass the
sending Office without being discovered
and then our office here finds it out.
Honolulaps are prone to send out con-
traband stuff just to save postage, but
this package I have here in which a
valuable piece of jewelry is held by US,
should warn others not to try the
dodge"
Cashier Kenake states that it would
be a wise thing for all those who in
tend to send Christmas gifts to the
States by the steamer Peru as register
ed matter, to have this done either to-
DAY or tomorrow. II ,Llc Getu Suoulu
arrive Friday evening the chances are
she may leave early on Saturday. This
being the case there would be a rush
on Saturday morning and despite the
efforts of all the clerks the packa ages
could not be prepared and billed to
go away and would necessarily be
left over until the next steamer.
Eighteen sacks of registered matter
have already been made up and new
packages are being ereceived there by
the dozen. Packages require but eight
cents for registering. which is in addi-
ton to the postage required according
to weight. The name of the sender and
the fun address in Honolulu should be
written on every package before being
presented to the clerk for registration

a regular sample land of unskilled la
borers.
The Hawaiian Territory has an area
of 6,449 square miles, and the Philip
pines one of $500 square miles-thus
the area of the latter is about eight
times as great as the former In the
Hawaiian Territory the land is capable
of sustaining population of 100000;
and at present there are only about
10000. Thus there are necessarily
vast tracts of country totally untouch-
ed, and the question inevitably OBJ
trudes itself, if this is the case in Ha-
wall, will it not be much more so in
the larger group of islands?
WORKERS OF MANY RACES.
The reciprocity treaty with the United
States i'll 1876 had created an urgent
need for labor, and an attempt was
made to utilize Hindoo coolies; but
discouraging reports caused the idea to
be abandoned. In 1878, $50 Portuguese
laborers were Introduced without hav-
ing signed contracts before arrival.
This condition was, however, made
compulsory in the same year. The sue
cess of these laborers led to an immi-
grafton treaty being signed with Por-
tugas, under which 1000 immigrants
arrived within the next six years
chiefly from the Azores and Madeira.
During the six years from 1878 to 1884
upward of 1000 South Sea Islanders
were introduced, but without success.
It may be noted that it has always
been found difficult to induce immigra-
tion to the Islands owing to the fact
that the government had no land to
grant as homesteads to the immi-
grants.
In 1884 the Japanese government
consented to allow emigration to

A Careful Review of an Economic Problem
Which Presents Many Phases OF Special In
terest to Statesmen at Washington.

The United States the Greater has
just come through one of the most seri-
GUS industrial crises of the century =
a hand-to-hand contest between capital
and labor, whose scars are not yet
healed. While this tremendous strug-
gle has been going on let us see what
has been doing in an American country
which it would be well for the Amer
lean toiler to remember more frequent
ly-"the United States of the Pacific
Hawaii, the land of sugar and coffee,
and many other things.
Small as are the Hawaiian Islands,
and Insignificant as they may seem
when compared to other portions of
the United States, yet they contain an
object lesson which statesmen at
Washington would do well to study on
the eve of the reconvening of Congress.
The labor problem in all its ramifica-
tions is the one huge question which
today holds the attention of the entire
civilized world. The labor problem of
the Hawaiian Territory contains many
aspects which must be encountered in
the development of the Philippines.
1t is true that the lessons are in minia-
ture, but this has only the effect of
rendering them more easily studied ami
learned.
The difficulty of obtaining la
Dor from the outside to cultivate
fresh territory is here very clearly
demonstrated. Every year it becomes
more and more difficult to obtain fresh
supplies of the same labor at work
able price and thus Hawaii has become

Chief Clerk Louis Kenake of the local

ed of him yesterday whether such
frauds were already cropping up, that
official pointed to a paper lying on his

BOYD HEARS FROM
DAKOTA FARMERS

Land Commissioner Boyd received
tidings yesterday which give him hope
that the delegation of Dakota farmers
are coming after all, although there is
nothing definite regarding the date of
their arrival. BY the China's mail he
received a letter from a Mr.. Chester
also of Dakota, saying that he had
heard of the Giddings settlers coming
to Hawaii, and desired also to secure
land for himself and a party of his
friends. He states that he has been
informed that there are several thou
sand acres awaiting homestead settle
ment. Mr.. Boyd believes from. this
query that the Giddings expedition has
not been abandoned.
