THE LAND QUESTION.
(From EVENING BULLETIN.) }

Opponents cf the Federal controlof
Hawaii's public lands are rapidly ar
guing Themselves into the convic-
ton that the best solution OF Ha-
waits land problem is administra-
ion by Federal authority.
Proof OF the pudding is 10 the eat
ing and gauged by this common
standard Hawaii's land policy has
proved anything but a success.
Those most aggressive 10 their OPP
position to tbs Federal land admin.
istra' ion are coming to the front
with critical recognition OF the To-
al fsilures. The burden OF respon-
sibility is. placed fret on the Com
missioner OF Public Lands and then
on the Legislature. These critics
chase all around Robin Hoods barn
to invent resson why this land
system that has been lauded to the
skies does not meet the new de-
mands of the situation.
The fact is that our present land
law ha, bsen tested and found
wanting in th $50 essentials which
will attract The purchasers and set
tiers particularly required for a new
lins OF development on traditional
American lines. This is the Lesson
of experience da'irg back to
the period when Hawaii was ad-
minietered by what has been termed
the "bsst government on earth"
The public land office has been in
the hands OF another commissioners
than the one now criticised. The
laws have b5en open to revision by
legislators who come within the
limitations OF what the present cyi.
tics callintelligent. Sill ths land
standardization of Hawa is without
desired results.
Ol thu other hand this T4rsit ,ry
may have az its dspo,al Federal

BBAUHIFY HONOLULU.

To make Honolulu more beautiful
and attractive it is pri. cipally
necessary to restore to it the tropical
eplendor OF few years ago. The
spasmodic rush TO build during the
boom OF 1899, carried with it the
ruthless ,les ruction Of large and
small trees, tropical shrubbery and
beautiful flowers, leaving whole sec-
tions OF the city destitute of verdure
and presenting TO thu eye only tie
crude emblems OF business enter
prise in northern city. These
scenes do not meet the requirements
of the tourist, who comes here not
to see what he has left behind but
to see city famed for it's tropical
grandeur. II there is one thing that
should be gu,ded more than another
in this correction, it is the few large
trees that have mirsculously escsped
the vandal's axe in the past few
years.

In Section 55 Of the Organic Act,
one of the terms is as follows: "nor
shall any public money be ap-
propriated for the support or
bsnefit of any sectarian. denomin-
ational, or private school, or any
school not under The exclusive
control of the Government" We
call attention to this provision,
because Of an at.emp. to saddle

a most worthy institution, is a pri-
vate undertaking.

One has only to contrast the trop-
ical richness OF Honolulu ten or
twenty years ago with the CONNER
cial Honolulu OF today to under
stand why the outbursts OF enthu.
siastic praise Of the city's charms,by
the tourist, have almost ased to be.
With the departure OF its verdant
lovsliness it was but natural that
exultation aud encooiums should
also cease.

The Maui grand jIry found that
Kanaleli, the highest paid police
constable on Molokai, lives on the
j F Brown ranch at Puuohaku and
spends nearly all OF his time looking
after that place instead Of attending
to his official duties. 1t is correctly
urged that the man be discharged
from public service. The mystery
about the thing is how the officer
came to be assigned to duty on the
Brown ranch. He GER ainly could
not have gone there to work Of hia
accord, negleciiog the business OF
his own Office, for which he is paid
by the people. It seem to US that
an explanation by the head OF the
police department is 10 oldsr.

An attempt on the part oil Coy
ernor Dole to foist upon the public
an official Objectionable to it's repre-
sentatives in the Legislature, would
be merely in line with his policy Of
two years ago, when everything pos.
sible was done by the Executive to
embarrass, block and discredit tie
WORK OF the Lawmakers. We have
no especial reason to apprehend
such high handed proceeding at
this time, but such action would not
create surprise. A man close 10 the
throne is authority for the opinion
that the Governors preference
would be to have Cooper hold over
in the public works Office until after
the Senate adjourned, and then
make his own peraonsl choice, an
appointment that would not have
to be approved for long time to
come.

Objectionable than a man in Office

Washington, d c., April 29.-Secre-
tary Root has directed the court mar
tial of several army officers in Alaska
who have been charged with making
use of commissary supplies for their
individual profit. 1t is said that they
have been purchasing supplies at cost
and selling them at a great profit.
For more than a year the officers
have been under investigation by in
spectors. One feature of the alleged
peculations, as stated in the report,
was in connection with potatoes.
Large supplies of this vegetable were
sent to the post and were sold to a
trading company at a high rate. The
potatoes were still carried on the
books of the commissary officer as
stock in hand, until some officer made
purchases from the company. Then
the stock of potatoes was reduced to
meet the credit at the company's Of
fee, and the officer making the pur-
chase would be charged with potatoes.
All the officers stationed at Skaguay
at the time were implicated, 1t is said.
Another case relates to shortage in
the accounts Of an officer. The names
of the officers have not been made pub
lie at the department. Most of them
have changed station since the ir-
regularities are said to have occur

BRITONS ARE SELF-CONFIDENT

London, April 29-The report of the
commission of British workingmen
who were taken to the United States
at the end of last year by Alfred
Moseley to study conditions of labor
there has been issued. All agree
that the British workman has nothing
TO learn from the American workman,
while British employers are not as
far advanced as the Americans in the
treatment of their employees.
James Cox, the delegate for the iron
and steel workers, pays his respects to
Chicago, where he says "the almighty
dollar is the unquestioned king" OF
the new %postofice he says: "Any
third rate corporation in Great Britain
would have accomplished the work in
four years instead of eight. This is
illustrative of government work in

Confiseated

London, April 29.-William X. van
derbilt and Mrs. Anna Rutherford
we're married today at st. Marks
church by Rev. r. H .Hadden. There
was no wedding breakfast or recep-
ton. Immediately after the ceremony
Mr.. and Mrs. Vanderbilt started for
the country. Their destination has
not been revealed but it is known
they will remain in the country some
weeks before going to any city. A
telegram from Dover says Mr.. and
Mrs. Vanderbilt crossed the channel.
Later Account.
London, April 29.-Wm. X. Wander
bilt was quietly married to Mrs. Lewis
M. Rutherford here this afternoon.
The bride and groom started for
France where they will remain for
some time.
Only eight persons, including Mrs.
Rutherford and Mr.. Vanderbilt were
present in st. Marks church when the
ceremony was performed this morning.
Arrangements by which the wedding
was kept a secret were most
and were not relaxed even at the last
moment. The wedding party entered
the church through the cicarage
which adjoins St. Marks and depart
ed from the rear entrance. While the
wedding ceremony was going on there
lay in the vicarage, the dead child of
the vicar of st. Marks, who made Mr..
Vanderbilt and Mrs. Rutherford man
and wife. At the conclusion of the
wedding ceremony the coffin was
brought into the church and Rev. r. II.
Haddon read burial ceremony over his
child. Immediately afterward he left
for Liverpool where his father is dy-
ing. Half a dozen doors from st.
Marks church is Tarrant's Hotel, now
quiet and old fashioned, but once one
of London's most famous hostelries.
From this hotel Vanderbilt emerged
this morning and walked to the
church. For the past three weeks he
has been staying off and on in modest
aparemtnts at Tarrants' qualifying by
this residence to secure the marriage
license.
Accompanied by his attorney, Van
derbilt on April Q, called on Registrar
Bishop of London and after satisfying
him on all points that the papers in
the divorce proceedings were regular,
secured marriage license.
Paris, April 25.-Mr. and Mrs. Van
derbilt arrived in Paris tonight from
London. The bride thickly yelled, en-
tered the husbands automobile and
the pair quickly sped away to Wander
bits country residence.

The call of Baron Sterhberg at the
state department today, while primar.
lily for another purpose, furnished him
with an opportunity to discuss Rus
sia's action at some length with Sec
rotary Hay. From Germany no Off
cial advices have been received either
at the state department or at the en-
bassy regarding the attitude of the
Berlin government but the under
standing is general in diplomatic
corps that Russia has nothing to APP
prehend from Germany in the stand
she has taken in Manchuria. Both
Count Cassini and Baron Sternburg
were in Picking together and both
owe their diplomatic careers largely
to the sagacity they have shown in
handling the Chinese question. Rus
STA and Germany. it is admitted, have
a thorough understanding relative to
China and while it may not be neces-
sary for the Berlin government to
come openly to the support of Rus
sian demands at this time, other pow
ers will be permitted to see clearly
that Germany is not hostile to Russia's
plans. 1t can be stated on authority
despite the seeming harmony between
Germany and Great Britain in the
Venezuelan embroglio, the unpopular
ity of the Anglo-Ge rman alliance 10
came so acute at n time that it
looked as If an open rupture would &C.
cur Because of this belief, whether
allowed to gain ground in United
States that Germany had proposed
this alliance, the Berlin government,
it is said, made representations to
London that unless London authorities
corrected this impression, it would be
necessary to publish correspondence
on the subject.
Another result of the unpopularity
Of this alliance was the breaking off
of Great Britain from the Bagdad rail-
way agreement into which she had en-
tered with Germany, and in which
France was also heavily interested.
This again increased the gulf between
Germany and Great Britain, and if the
truth were known, it would be seen
she had lost no opportunity to in
crease this bad feeling. At the same
time Russia is not DESTROYS of incur
ring the animosity of the United
States. While the initial Russia de-
mand in Manchuria is that no more
Manchurian ports or towns be opened
there is ground for belief that this de-
mand will not be permanent. Russia
was never shown the text of the Chi
nese-United States agreement in
which the latter asks for certain open
ports in Manchuria. Consequently,
Russia, has no official knowledge of
this agreement. When the United
States protests individually, Russia
will be prepared to make certain con-
c~essions to American trade in Man
churia, which is really Americas only
vital interest in the matter. This
concession will satisfy the United
States, thus leaving Great Britain
and Japan alone in their protest.

Disease Germs are Traced to Dairy
in Polo Alto Milkmen Held
Under Suspicion
A HOPEFUL OLD WOMAN
She is One Hundred and Three Years
Old and Wagers She Will
Live to Be US

Polo Alto, Cal, Especial bad milk
from n dairy in this city is declar-
ed responsible for the 100 cases of
typhoid fever at present existing in
Stanford university and in this city.
The dairy held to blame has been
closed, and other diaries under sus.
picion have been made to cease bust
ness temporarily, and the health au-
thorities now claim to have the situa-
ton well in hand.
So far only two deaths have re-
suited from the epidemic, but of the
100 patients 20 are said to be in a
serious condition, and even If no more
cases appear more fatalities are be-
lieved certain.
The disease was considered stamp
ed out early last week, but 20 more
cases have been reported since last
Friday night. The university seems
about to duplicate the Cornell scare.
One-third of the Palo Alto High
school students are absent because
of the illness of friends or in their
families. San Francisco hospital
nurses are thick in Palo Alto, and
their white caps and aprons are CON-
mon. There are IA here from Lane
hospital alone.
William Pountz, bookkeeper for the
San Francisco Oil company, died on
Saturday. "Old joe" the Encina hall
japanese j%anitor, died early in the
week. j. Pierce Mitchell, 'O2, is de-
clared near death. "Dicky'' Barrett
OF Herman, Mimi, E. E. Miller Of Vim
ton, Ia, and E. Duval of Saticoy are
the most seriously ill of the students.
This may be true, as the water sup
ply both of Palo Alto and of the cam.
pus is declared perfectly pure, and the
suspected diaries all are closed.
Stanford university is in the Santa
Clara valley, which is as level as a
house floor for 80 miles. One mile
Deiow it, directly alongside the rail.
road track, is the university town Of
Palo Alto, where many of the stu.
dents and professors live. For several
years there was much complaint OF
bad sewerage at Palo Alto, but re-
Gently the town authorities installed
an excellent sewerage system and
have ~endeavored to remove all cess
pools. That this reform has not been
carried out is shown by the fact that
rs warrants were sworn out last week
as inst property owner who had neg
lected to fill up the old cesspools.
Although the typhoid may have
been stimulated by these remains of
bad sewerage the primary cause was
the impure milk. DR.. Snow, the ply
stefan o. the university, said:
"Since Friday we have had only
n student on the campus taken
down with fever. Six others, who
have shown symptoms, are confined
in their rooms and closely watched.
We can tell better in the course of
the next two days whether those sus-
