In the matter of hides for example,
nobody knows, definitely and conclus-
lively, what the effect of the duty has
been upon the price of hides in this
country and in South America, its effect
on the domestic leather manufacture,
Or on the export trade in boots and
shoes articles If an inquiry were made
along this line by men strong enough
to command public confidence, their
conclusion, it is argued, would go long
way towards le5sening the friction be-
tween East and West, which every
mention of the subject nov creates
Vagueness of information seems res
ponsible for much of the misunderstan-
ding.

Judge Douglas of North Caro-

No decision is expected for some
days in regard to the vacancy on the
Court Of Claims. The friends of Judge
Robert M. Douglas of the Supreme
Count Of North Carolina are still urging
mis- appointment. While not an appli-
cant for The place, it is believed that if
it came TO him in the right way he
would accept, and large number of
the leading attorneys here have united
in petition to the President recon-
mending the appointment. Some SEN
tlmental interest attaches to the consi-
deration Of Judge Douglass name, on
account of his marked resemblance TO
his distinguished father. How emerge

suspicion that Pritchard would like the
place himself, after the November'elec-
tions have made certain his retirement
from the Senate, but the President is
very unlikely to appoint him.

however, some rascal had to spoil the
good record Of the city by beating a.
inoAensive man who had rot in.er.ercd

FIRE AND POLICE SIGNALS NEAR
COMPLETION.
Police Boxes and Indicator Arrive this
Month-Mounted Patrolmen May Be
Out Of Job.

The work of installing the fire and
police alarm system is going rapidly
ahead and will be completed within
schedule time, although there have been
some delays with the iron work which
is being manufactured locally. The pO-
lice alarm boxes and the operators desk
are expected to arrive here in about
fifteen days from now having been
shipped direct and complete from the
Gamewell Company in Chicago.
The desk is quite an elaborate affair."

about six feet high. This is the indi-
Gator, at which an operator Is constant
ly seated, who records the calls turned

the various alarms rung in by citizens.
The fire alarm arrangement is neCes-
sarily less complex, no regular reports
being turned in from patrols as with
the police The board of the Indicator
Will however show Immediately which
alarms has been rung in and the inn
mediate locality of the fire
Cooperation with the police system
will enable the policeman on that beat
to be promptly notified of the fire in
his district if he has not already dis
covered it, and a representative of law
and order can be promptly on the spot
to handle the crowd and give the neces-
sary assistance.
While the two systems are complete
and distinct in their working, the install
lation will probably be made simulta-
neously, a grand test being made before
the systems are turned over to the fire
commissioners and the police depart

be found necessary Immediately but the

materially help to pay for themselves
in reducing the pay rolls of the police
force besides adding a sense Of greater
security to people in the outlying dis
triCts.

ISLAND sCHOONERs SEEK FOR A
SHELTER.
Concord Was Seen Heading for Safe
Fast-Heavy Winds Reported.

There was an unusually nigh wind
blowing last night and unless some of
the various island schooners got into
shelter, several of them may have been
piled onto some of the various reefs.
Yesterday morning the schooner Con-
cCrd was seen at Maalaea Bay heading
for the little bay just north of Kinau
point, the evident intention of Captain
Sam Mana being to get a safe anchor
age from the strong northeast wind
that was prevailing. He had his main
sail and flying iib fast and was pro-
ceeding under only reefed foresail
and foretopmast staysail.
The schooner Kaiulani was seen yes
terday off Koko Head. She was eXpe-
rlencing the heavy wind too and mad
her flying jib fast and a reef in her
mainsail. The weather at that time
was not nearly so bad as last night.
She probably made some of the KOO-
lau ports by that time and there Is a
possibility that she may have been
driven ashore as the wind was exceed
ingly strong. No advices of this char
acter have been received however and
as her captain is an experienced navi-
gator in these waters it is very likely
that the vessel is all right.
On Kauai are the schoOners Twi-
light, Alice Kimball and Ia Moi The
Kimball and IA Moi were at Koloa,
Idischarging. The northeast wind which
has been prevailing would not affect
them, except to perhaps cause them to
drift to the southwark. The Twilight
was at Hanalei when the Hall left Ma
wiliwili Saturday. The Twilight would
not find Hanalei as safe a place as
might be desired in a heavy blow, al
| though no danger is apprehended as
| yet.
All of the incoming island steamers
report exceedingly heavy winds.
While leaving Hama Friday evening,
| the steamer Claudine fOuled the
| IschOoner H. G. Wright, and the after
house deck of the steamer was damag-
! ed with the other vessels jib boom.
| The weather was so rough at Hama
| that the Claudine had to seek safer
alchorage at NahilUl.

SURF BOARD RIDER
HOWARD HITCHCOCK'S SUCCESS
Full CANVAS.
New Line of Work by the Local
Artist Exhibits Unsuspected Strength
in Life Work.

Howard Hitchcock is hard at putting
the finishing touches on a canvas
which bids fair to be perhaps his most
successful painting. For a long time
MI. Hitchcock has had it in mind to
paint one or more pictures typical of
the Hawaiian Islands from a physical
as we'll as a scenic standpoint To
paint canvases representing the actual
life of he islands and their customs.
now fast disappearing, has always
been one Of the artists ambitions but
circumstances and the demand for
landscape work has hitherto prevented
the carrying out of his hearts desire.
Long study of color combinations
was needed to accurately depict the
FURNISHED bronze hue of the native
Islander and it was only after many
Efforts and used up palettes that the
aluSt arrived at the successful tones
presented i'm the work in question.
The subject is that of a surf rider,
a young lad, half reclining on his koa
board just under the crest Of Pacific
IrCller and sweeping shOrewards at eN-
press speed. Himself an expert surf
rider, Mr.. Hitchcock easily overcame
the technical knowledge of the muscu-
Lar force exhibited in riding a roller
but the composition of the picture in
vOlved many difficulties which have
been most happily overcome. These in
NluANh lllt representation OF the lQll
power and force of the curling wave,
a glimpse of the eXpanse of ocean and
sunny skies of Hawaii nei while giving
the figure due prominence.
The cOloring too needs careful study.
First the figure must be indubitably
wet, and the clustering skin reflected
many greenish tones from the trans
lucent wave and the open sky above.
| These have been well accomplished
and the SWirling motion of the main
wave with the cross current so com
mon on these shores is particularly
good. The modelling Of the youth s
torso and arms as he strains to keep
the prov of his board above the sur
face, his backward glance as he shakes
the spray from his eyes, the CLASSY
green of the water, all combine to make
a most successful and striking picture
that will be assured of popular success
on exhibition. The present canvas will
be followed by others conceived along
the same line of subjects

AT HIDE AND SEEK
)R CHASED BURGLAR
ROUND STUMP.
TAILOR
Strategy Bottled the Robber for a
Time But Strategy Effected His Es-
cape This morning.

In future when c. A. Grote the Union
street tailor tries to catch a burglar,
he will probably prefer to do so with
company for there will then be a
chance Of capturing the thief, For
about zen minutes, at an early hour
this morning, he chased a Chinese
burglar from one side of the tailor es-
Enlistment TO the other until the
chase became as complicated as the
Constitution and the Flag muddle and
GrOte did not know whether he was
following the Chinese or the Chinese
was following him. OF one thing both
are certain; there was no Transition
Period" for they were constantly on
the move.

is on Union street, Mr.. GrOte and fam
lily residing in a cottage in the rear.
About 5:15 o'clock this morning, Mr..
Gi lte was aroused by hearing fall,
what was evidently some broken glass.
He surmised at once, that the noise
came from the new building, of the
Catholic school He went out on his
front porch and happening to glance
into his shop i'm a line with the electric
lights which had been left burning,
discovered the head of a Chinese who
was evidently about to leave the prem
ises.
Mr. Grote grabbed hold of a heavy
fence picket and ran to the window
with the intention of lambasting the
rCbber. The Chinese saw him coming
and ran away from the window. The
building is Built triangular in shape
and while Grote effectively guarded
exit by the side window the Chlpese
had a chance to get out through a
rear door. GrOte saw that the Chinese
would escape by this door so he rush
ed around to that side. The Chinese
saw him coming and ran back to the
window. GrOte ran to the window
ana the Chinese ran over to the door.
Both were in fine condition and SEEM
ed to be evenly matched as sprinters.
GrOte became a little winded however
by shouting for help. Finally strategy
came to the aid of the Chinese for the

store and the pursuer could not keep
track of him. However GrOte check
mated this work by a better bit Of
strategy for he took up a position at
the corner of the building, which COM
manded both the door and window. 1t
looked as If. the Chinese was as effect
ually bottled as Admiral Schley bot

LAND SUIT
SUPREME COURT ASKED TO DE-
CLARE LAW.
T. r. Mossmans Case Against the
Bishop Museum Submitted on Agreed
Facts-Kamalo Appeal.

An agreed submission of facts was
filed in the Supreme court this morning,
to settle some issues of law which are
involved i'm a large number of cases now
in the courts here. The submission was
filed in the case of Y. r. MOSsmau
against Sanford b. Dole, c. NJ Cooke,
H. Holmes, G. NJ. Hyde, j. O. Garter, ).
NJ. Damon, w. +. Allen and w. O.
Smith, trustees Of the Bernice Pauaihi
Bishop Museum, David KawananakOa
and Jonah Kalanianaole
The parties set forth that their con-
troversy is one involving the title to
some land in Waipio and that it is sim
liar in matters of law to a large num-
Der of ejectment suits now on the calen-
dars of the circuit courts. 1t is de-
clared that much expense and time will
be saved if the court will take up the
matter on the agreed statement Of
facts, and settle the law. The suit is
similar to many ejecment suits that are
taking up the time Of the courts all over
the Islands and the decision will be an
important one to many litigants.
The principal points the Supreme
court is asked to settle are as to the
running of the statute of limitations,
and the effect of an action to quiet title
on claims of adverse possession. The
suit is one of many growing out OF ad-
verse possession claims, which are all
being pressed now. The issues in most
of the cases are between titles so claim
ed, and legal documentary titles traced
back to former owners.
Notice of appeal and appeal were filed
this morning in the case of Harvey r.
Hitchcock ct al against Frank Hustace,
j. j, Egan and Frank Foster.
