Because Lee Gilbert who purchased a

meeting yesterday Land Commissioner
Boyd presented a report upon the sale
of the Waianae bad lands. with a pro-

purchase made by Lee Gilbert of a
tract of land composed of 5S7 acres.
This was the last offering made and
A. Garvie bought it for Gilbert for
$1,000. Andrade was the next lower bid
der at $1195 In his protest Andrade
claimed that Gilbert was not an Ameri-
can citizen and not entitled to the land,
sequently the tract should be given to
him for $1195 Gilbert also put in
statement of the-matter saying that he
had bid in the land for A. C. Dowsett.
Both statements We're refused and the
government will hold onto the land It
will probably be offered at auction for
a second time. Gilbert is a British sub

The lands at Kamaole, Maui, are to

PROTECT CHILDREN
FROM CRUELTY

Steps are being taken looking toward
the incorporation of the Hawaiian
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Children. There have been held
several preliminary meetings and those
who are behind the plan propose to
take active steps very soon.
Allan Herbert, who has acted as the
temporary chairman of the gatherings
said yesterday: ITO prevent cruelty to
children seems to me the noblest work
of man. They cannot protect them
selves and we should move to protect
them. Honolulu is a cosmopolitan
city, and as a seaport, has in it a great
many people of a low order of humane
ty who are naturally cruel to their off,
spring.
Another class of youth deserving
Of care and attention is the young OF
he alien races. These children fire.

thieves and the jails and reform schools
ire filling with older members of this
loodlum class. believe there is a
treat work to be done in this way and
rope to see a great many people en-
list in it,
The objects of the Society, as set
orth in the articles, are to work to
rouse a public sentiment for the edu-
alton and humane care of children and
o secure laws to protect the little
mes. Mr.. Herbert will receive the
ames of any who wish to work with
