PAL0LO LAND
DISPOSED OF
Site for Insane Asylum
and Tract for
Homes.

In an unusually short session yester-
day, the executive council made two
important dispositions of Palolo valley
lands.
The recommendation by the Board of
Health of a tract of ZOO acres as a site
for the new Insane Asylum was adopt-
ed. 1t is placed in the hands of the
Superintendent of Public Works, who
will advertise for tenders for the erec-
ton of the principal buildings. There
is $4,000 appropriated out of loan funds
for the purpose. The land contains
good soil for farming and abundance
of water. Palolo valley is one of the
most beautiful regions in the neigh
borhood Of Honolulu.
Another tract in Palolo valley, con-
tanning a little more than SO acres, was
devoted to homestead purposes with
a special view to the benefit of native
Hawaiians. 1t will be divided into one
acre lots and conveyed under the $685.
year lease system. BY this system the
occupant enjoys the advantages of
practical ownership. the only deduc-
tons from that status being a nominal
rental and an inability Of the occu-
pant to ALLEVIATE the land.

truding. Finally he saw that the
knife had simply been concealed In
her bosom and then he took 1t out, half
expecting to see a stream Of blood fol-
low.
The woman was taken to the police
station and placed In a cell. She
said her name was Sing" and the
desk clerk registered her as Miss
Sing"
She could speak English only I'M
perfectly and it was difficult to get u
connected story from her. From what
could be learned she was employed
as n cook by Murakami. She said
that she had been sick for long time,
and that her husband had left her, and
that she had no money. Because OF
all her ''pilikia" she was going to kill
herself. The knife was taken away
from her. and the clerk asked IL she
would go somewhere and hide and then
stab herself, II it was returned yes,
gimme" the woman said, as she
reached out for the knife. Her eyes
We're very much swollen, as If she had
been weeping for hours. She was
thoroughly searched and every article
of clothing with which she might hang
herself was removed. Even her extra
switch of hair was taken away.

The arrival yesterday morning of the
crack Kauai polo team has drawn gen.
eral attention to the series of polo
matches to be played between that
island and Oahu in a return match, a
fact that except for a few enthusiasts
has been lost sight of in the general
election fever.
1t will be remembered that on the
first appearance of Kauai on this ISL
and in the big tournament of last year,
the magnificent riding and splendid
mounts Of the Kauai men won them
much approval, although from lack Of
team work they We're unable to win.
A later match, when Oahu went to Ka-
uai, resulted in a display of brilliant
and evenly matched polo in which
Oahu won by a scant margin in score
of Ga. The returning polo players
acknowledged that they had enjoyed
the hardest fight and the best playing
since their knowledge of the game.
The present match, a series of the
best two out of three games, is a re-
turn one from the last encounter.
Maui, owing to business arrangements
of the players, is unable to come down
in competition for the Association cup
and the Association has therefore re-
decreed the present match to be an Is
dividual tournament between Oahu
and Kauai.
The first game is to be played on
Saturday next, November s, on the
splendid turf of the Moanalua field,
to be followed by. another game on the
Wednesday of next week. 1t is gener-
ally thought that third determining
game will be necessary and this will
come off on Saturday week. An ad-
mission fee of 80 cents a head will be
charged to cover expenses, the Kauai
men, who are bringing their ponies,
getting three-fifths of the returns.
There will undoubtedly be a heavy
turnout as most of the polo spectators
locally have been in the habit of at
tending in carriages or on horseback
and the drive to Moanalua will prove
one of the delights of the outing.
The Kauai men, who play as follows,
are out today practicing on the Mo-
analua field, which Is much faster than
their own match ground and will need

THE KAUAI POLO TEAM.

some practice before they get accus-
toned to the speed of the short tuif
and the possible long drives with the
ball. Kauai is not banking on VIM
ming the Saturday game but rather ex-
pect to put up hard fight on Wednes-
day. They have some fresh Horner
Ranch blood in two of their ponies,
they will play three apiece, but these
mounts include several of the ponies
used in the last match.
The team play as follows: James
Spalding, who is said to have improved
greatly OF late, No. 1, James Malina,
the seventeen year old Kauai centaur,
No. 2, Charles Rice at No and Arthur
Rice at No. 4. The line up against
them shows as under:
Kauai-James Spalding, 1; John Ma
lima, .; Charles Rice, 8; Arthur Rice, L.
Oahu-R w. Atkinson, /: Harold
Castle, 2; w. F. Dillingham;, 3; C. Dole,
L. A. F. Judd and S. Il. Damon, Oahu
substitutes.
The Oahu men play also three ponies
apiece and with one or two exceptions
these mounts are the same as used in
the last match. Conservatively speak
ing, ponies are even and an exhibition
of fine Workmanship should ensue with
the odds trtle in favor of Oahu from
previous victory and home grounds.
The Moanalua field is practically per-
feet and is much wider than the Ka-
piolani Park arena. The sideboard
makes the game much faster with the
smooth short turf which will be care
fully rolled all day tomorrow in readi-
ness for the game.
The playing of Harold Castle at two
for the Oahu team will be watched by
many. This brilliant young performer
Is handicapped in a degree by playing
against older and heavier men but IL
is predicted that he will fairly win his
spurs and right to being a first team
representative.
The game commences promptly at
three o'clock and consists of the four
regulation periods. This will bring all
home by dark Many of the ponies
will be put up over night in the new
stables built by Mr.. Damon at Moana-
lua with accommodations for sixteen.
The Oahu team, which practices today
at Kapiolani Park, giving the Moana-
lua field to the visitors, will wear the
club colors, blue in combination with
white. while Kauai colors are scarlet
and white.

THE ELECTIONS

1.-THE Official and Commercial Record.l
The result of the Oahu County cleo
tions is highly encouraging to the
friends of honest government The
initiation of county government will be
in the hands Of the party which gave
it to the Territory, and under the con-
troll of responsible men.
The difficulties and problems attend
ant upon the new government will be
many. The Board of Supervisors, es-
pecially, have a difficult task ahead of
them-one involving much time and
work. They should not be criticised
too harshly II they do not always do
the best thing possible.
The "best thing" is frequently a mat
of conflicting interests and policies has
to be considered. A sympathetic spirit
toward the new officials should there
fore be manifested, until they have a
full and fair opportunity to show
what they can do.
One lesson to be drawn from the cleo
ton Is that the normal Republican
strength on Oahu is sufficient to carry
any election. II It is organized and II
the ticket Is such as to command the
full support of the party.
Only two Republican nominees failed
OF election on Tuesday. What the rea-
sons were for the failure Is not now the
point. The point to be remembered Is
that any scratching OF the regular
ticket Is fatal. The full strength OF
the party is necessary to secure sue
cess.
No ticket which does not secure prac-
tlcaly the unanimous support of the
party can succeed.
Another lesson to be drawn is that
the scratchers-that is to say. the in
dependent thinkers. are mostly in the
Republican party. The Home Rule
voters viii, as rule. vote for anything
that bears the party label. Many Re
publican voters, on the other hand, eX-
ercise the power OF scratching the name
of a candidate whom they object TO,
As consequence of this Independent
spirit, the Republicans cannot be too
careful in their future nominations

A Japanese woman who was regis
tered at the police station as Miss
Sing" attempted to xii herself with
bread knife last evening. She was
stopped Just in the nick Of time by
Officer Nielsen and taken to the sta
ton.
The woman, 1t seems, had made the
most elaborate preparations for taking
for the occasion, and over all her fine
clothes, wore a blue scarf which is
said to be the sign which a Jap
anese always displays when about to
commit suicide. A customs officer
first discovered the would-be suicide
sitting at the waters edge on Queen
street near the sail loft. The woman
was weeping and when the customs
man asked her what the trouble was,
she replied in matter OF fact tone
that she intended to kill herself-"go
make"-as she tersely expressed it.

was sent down to stop the threatened
He arrived Just as the
woman was on the point of driving
the long knife through her breast. She
was sitting on the ground, muttering
to herself and had unfastened her XII
mono, and as the officer appeared she
showed the point OF the knife
toward herself Nielsen
thought she had stabbed herself and
did not attempt to extricate the knife.

Seattle. He reports the voyage a fine
one. About 1000 tons of freight were
brought to Honolulu, and there are
a thousand tons for Kahului for which
port the steamer will sail on Friday.
The vessel will sail from Kahului to
San Francisco direct.
Speaking of the Company's affairs,
Mr.. Morse said the Nebraskan is only
taken off the schedule temporarily or
until there is cargo enough here to
warrant the Company maintaining a
two-steamer ferry run between Homo
lulu and San Francisco.
In New York Mr.. Morse found that
big freights are being offered there for
transportation to Honolulu. This, in
his opinion, seemed to point to better
times in the Islands.
The S. s. American of the same COM
pany will sail for Honolulu from Sc
attic on December l. She will load
there about 8, ,OO tons of salmon, and
finish here with a cargo of about 5000
tons of sugar for New York.

to come home to London from Con-

some time; and was apparently lost in
the midst of the Black Forest. or some
or the other lands that interviewed
between him and home. He was at
last traced; and then calmly wrote
that he was obeying orders. and was
making his way homeward; but that

SEVEN PRISONERS ESCAPE.
City of Birmingham Loses Just $115o
 Worth of Work.

Twenty-three hundred days valued at 50 cents day, went glimmering early Tuesday morning when seven city prson- CTS working on the streets made their escape. The city lost just s115o worth of work when this lucky number If street sweepers took to the tall end uncut"
 The street gang was in charge of Guard Simms, a relative of one of the alder men. It consisted of nine of the negroes of the city jail who had the longest terms to serve, six of them being in jail for q year or more.
 One of the negroes started the escaping jubilee by jumping on @ street car and riding away to safety. riuar1 Simms started after him and six of the othe. ne groes shouted: q will help you catch him, boss and apparently started to help the guard, but they all scattered and none of them have been seen since. They have managed to get rid of the shaclsles which they wore on the streets. Tho ne- groes were Jim Mitchell, Sid Lee. George Jackson, Will Jones, Jake Haney, John
 Hall and Robert Anderson. The two 1le- groes, Haney and Hall, escaped several months ago from the southside jan by boring through the wall All of the ne- groes except Hall had sentences of over one year.

 During the afternoon MT. Warde paid a friendly visit to his old friend E. c. Bruf- fey, at the Constitution bureau office here In attempting to light cigar, MT. Warde struck the match against a hot stove. The entire head, flaming brightly, jumped from the timber and struck M- Warde upon the eyelid, immediately below the brow. Within itself it was a small incident but almost before the small sul- phur ball had dropped from his flesh the entire eyebrow had been singed away and a cauterized mark the size of a pea stood prominently on the )eyelid.

HOMESEEKERS ARE
 LEAVING FOR WEST
LARGE PARTY LEFT BIRMINGHAM LAST NIGHT COMPOSED OF MEN WHO HAVE HAD HARD LUCK. CHILDREN IN MAJORITY.

A large party of home-seekers from nearby points left Birmingham last night over the Alabama Great Southern rail- road for Texas.
 The home-seekers arrived yesterday from different parts of the state to join the special from Chattanooga that had already over hundred aboard en route for the west.
 The large party was evidently made up of families who were going to stay" as It was noticed that there were more chill dren than adults. One party which came in over the Central of Georgia was com posed of six adults and twenty children.
 One of the men said last night: 'Yes, I'm going to Texas. I hate to leave the old state but I've had hard luck here for the last three years and they tell me l can make a living easier in Texas. I've got four little children besides my wife, and we've rented a place out there and l hope I'll do alright I'm leaving lots of good, honest friends behind, and l hate to go, but if l don't pan out al- right 1 guess I can come back again. If l stay away ten years I'll always think of good old Alabama"
 The train arrived an hour and half late and 1t Is expected that between this city and the river large number will be added.
