BY Chief Justice Frear


ion are the most important events in
Hawaiian hfstory?" said Chief Justice
Frear. repeating the question which had
been put TO him.
Importance is relative matter.
What events should be named as most
important depends largely upon the de-
gree of Importance taken as a stand
ard. It seems to me that in any case
the degree of Importance should be con-
siGlered with reference to the perma-
nent effects on the future of Hawaii.
rather than with reference to the de-
gree of interest or excitement caused
at the time
II should say that the two most i'm
portant events in the history of Hawaii
are:
First. the discovery of the islands
by Captain Cook, which determined
change from the semi-barbarous state.
and.
Secondly. the coming of the mission
aries which determined that change in
the right direction. To the coming of
the missionaries is due. directly or in
directly, most OF the what the islands
are today. in Amerieanism and civiliza-
ton generally, as well as relig1ously-"
The next two events in point of i'm
portance. in my opinion, are:
First. the union of all the islands
under one government by Kamehameha
1, which was largely a consequence of
the discovery of the islands by Captain
Cook. and which in turn 10 large ex-
tent made possible the future independ-
ence and development of the Islands.
Secondly, the annexation of the ISL
ands to the United States which was
made possible TO a large degree by the
results OF the Christianizing, civilizing
and Americanizing work of the mis-
sionaries, and in turn will determine
the future development OF the islands
The next events in point OF impor-
lance in my opinion We're:
First, the adoption in 1889 and 1S40
of the edicI of liberation, the declara-
ton Of rights, and the first constitution,
which may be classed together. and
which marked the change from the old
system Of absolute government 10 the
new system of individual rights and
constitutional government.
Secondly, the enactments of the or
ganic acts and the establishment of
isAA4A titles III the AaLlEE 4OE ties FIlNAA
practically carried out and completed
the change just mentioned, already be-
gun in 1888 and 1910
Thirdly, the ratification of the reci-
procity treaty between these Islands
and the United States in 1876, which had
so much to do with our recent rapid T,
Industrial and commercial growth, and,
Which paved the way for annexation
fFOUrth, the overthrow of the mon !
8fchy which was another long step inl
the direction of government by the peo- ,
pie and which also prepared the way /
to a large extent for annexation
IN the next class of events most i'm !
portant in Hawaiian history, in my /.
opinion. should be placed the establish !
ment of cable communication between !
Hawaii and the rest OF the United !
States. the results Of which may not be I
as striking as the results of other
events no less important. but which viii l

devised for measuring the amount of

is called an Ohm, after the great Ger

pounded the laws of the electric cur

Where Beavers and Machen Come In.
The official statement regarding the
indictments says: The indictment
against Beavers, Machen and Erwin
alleges in substance that the Postal
Device and Improvement company, of
San Francisco, formerly the Montague
Indicator and Letter Box company. by
resolution of Oct 6, 1899, set aside l.
0C0 shares Of its stock to be used in
any legitimate way its presidetn might
think proper In forwa riding the inter
ests Of the company. Armed with this
authority the president, Daniel S. Rich
ardson, accompanied by Erwin. came
to Washington. Erwin was then a
postoffice inspector, and the company
was composed almost entirely of post
Office employees in the west.
Beavers, Macaen and Heath Seen.
"Erwin introduced Richardson to all
the postoffice officials at Washington.
and Beavers, Machen, Heath and 9TH
ers examined the device. As result
an order for equipping 2.0S9 letter
boxes with the device was secured.
About this time. on suggestion from
Beavers concurred in by Machen, the
name Of the company was changed.
and it was arranged that all postoffice
officials should disappear from its
management Beavers and Machen
became the owners of blocks of the
stock, both under assumed names.
Made It Easy for the Company.
The company was then systematic
ally relieved of its obligations in the
way of paying freight, Grating, paint
ing and printing cards for the devices
1t was furnishing. Out of 1000 shares
of stock set aside as above mentioned
most-all of 1t went to different postof
fee officials. The president of the COM
pany afterwards came to Washington
again with the request that an in
crease be made in the compensation
the company was receiving for its de-
vice. This request was granted.

He Says There Was Nothing Underhanded

Maybury, when interviewed in refer
ence to the Indictment of Dr. Eugene
d. Scheble, of Toledo. o., formerly in
terested in the firm of Maybury e. FL
lis, letter box manufacturers, said:
Our business relations with Mr..
Scheble ceased two years ago, when
he was given the contract for furnish
ing the government with mail boxes of
his own design. Before that time Mr..
Scheble was interested with US, and
for q period of one year, beginning
six years ago. we manufactured a box
which he originated and which was &C.
cepted by the government
Finally the postoffice department
went back to the boxes which were
formerly in use, and two years ago,
when Mr. Scheble secured the contract,
our relations with him terminated.
There was nothing undetermined in our
dealings with the government in the
matter. of mail boxes, and the fact
that Mr. Scheble was once associated
with us has nothing to do with his
present position, nor are there any
grounds upon which the postoffice de-
partment could connect us with the
matter"
