FITCH DENOUNCES
CHINESE EXCLUSION

Thomas Fitch, in his speech at the
banquet of the Native Sons of Califor-
MIA, came out flat-footed for free
Asiatic immigration. He compared
himself to Cain as described by By
ron, in that his age made him without
hope and without remorse," therefore
he was free from fear Of the political
effect Of his words.
California, Mr.. Fitch then said,
would never achieve the full fruits of
its vast capabilities of further develop
ment until the United States secured
the open door for it's commerce which
it wanted in China. Fulfillment of
that desire could not be expected while
the United States kept a closed door
to the people of Asia.
The Chinese would not interfere, the
Grafton concluded, with any labor that
Americans were willing to perform
and they We're needed in the develop
ment of the resources of California.

WOODS INSTITUTE
OPENS ITS DOORS

The Woods Institute of Physical CuI-

Hackfeld building. held successful
opening last evening.
Professor Woods. himself a stalwart
exponent of the advantages of his sys--

the arrangements. The place Il, verr
thoroughly fitted up and is on par
with any public institution of SINH
lar character on the mainland.
The baths run down one side OF q
corridor at the rear of the main rooms
with dressing rooms opposite. The
tubs are porcelain and the fittings IL
accord with grated foorings and other
complete paraphernalla. Other rooms
are fitted for steam and dry heat with
all the requisites of furnace massage
lounges, rubbing fluids and other par-
apherralla. Mr.. Woods announced
would be in attendance. classes being
regulated to allow of days for ladies'

The browning glory OF the establish
ment lies in the exercising room, L
spacious chamber once. in days gone

S|SAL AND
ITS ENEMY
Mexican Industry
Attacked by
Borer.

r. L. C. Perkins, government en-
tomologist, strongly deprecates the
sending away for propagations of pine
apples, sisals, vanilla or other vegeta-
bles that have already attained sue
cessful Judgment in the Territory, on
the ground that the danger of import
ing insects harmful to the various in
dustries is thereby greatly enhanced.
Take for instance the sisal," says
Mr.. Perkins, folks here interested in
the industry have sent and are sending
for varieties grown in Mexico. In that
country the sisal plant is affected by a
borer that, despite the strong acids of
the plant, seems to flourish. Now the
insects that in Mexico prey upon these
borers and to certain extent, keep
down their depredations cannot be i'm
ported into this Territory owing to the
law that opens and examines all pack
ages and throws out all such attempted
importation into United States terri
tory. Some day we may be able to
make mutual arrangements with the
scientific bureaux of Mexico and other
countries whereby such packages,
certified to and addressed may
be sent through, but at present we are
only able to ship the disease and not
the remedy.
THE sisal borer is not, as proven at
present, here, but in the shape of the
grubs that infest various local palms,
akin to the well known grub of the
bear a strong resemblance to the sisal
pest and which may yet turn out dam
gerous to that industry. At present we
have nothing to fight them with.
Now we have here good sturdy,
profitable varieties of the ssal plant,
and excellent pineapples. S. E. Damon
on this island and others elsewhere in
the Territory, have first class speci-
mems of vanilla already growing and
1t would greatly minimize
any future danger and possibly prevent
total extinction or interference with
certain proposed industries, if planters
intending to propagate certain species,
would secure cuttings from plants al

A native woman from Maui was on
the stand yesterday. She had been in
the royal encourage of that day a good
deal and now testified to the tearing
up of a certain deed by King Kala-
kaua. It was done outdoors under a
tree. Witness saw the tatters of the
document upon the black sand end,
although she did not see the royal
hand do the tearing act, with slight
hesitation she testified now that the
king tore the paper. Her recollection
of some historical details was a little
faulty, for instance in making Curtis
p. Iaukea the successor of Col. Geo.

those which have naturally sprung up
during the voyage. With n certain

in seeking afield for other types which

HOME BUILT YACHTS
IN COMPETITION

| Yachting on Regatta Day will be CIV
yachts built in Honolulu. The De
| fiance," built by Walker Brothers on
original lines, has so far outstripped all
competitors among the smaller boats
that Sorenson and Lyle are building a
| crackerjack with the express purpose
Of beating the Walker boat. Several
which will be finished early next week.
The Defiance, which has bilge center
boards, has proven a phenomenon for
speed, having beaten the La Paloma on
ten-mile run and come within a few
minutes of the Gladys on the wind. On
the latter tack she sails so close that
other tack, so close can her sheets be
hauled amidships.
On present appearances the Soren-
son-Lyle boat, which is modelled some
what on the lines of the crack Duke"
as shown in the "Rudder" should best
the Defiance running, but final results
remain to be proven. A new era, which
shows UP well for local boat builders,
has started with the Defiance.
The question of the admittance of the
La Paloma for the Hawaii Challenge
cup is still in allegiance. The deed of
trusteeship has been handed by C. b.
Wilson to Attorney Robertson for deci-
sion and the matter will be settled to-
day. Two-thirds of the committee are
in favor of admitting the big yacht as
are all the owners, but C. b. Wilson
wishes legal advice in the matter. In
any event the first class boats will sail
a longer course than the little fellows
on Regatta Day, as their running
sails take longer to set They will run
from the Moana Hotel to Pearl Harbor
while the little fellows will turn at Ka-
lihi.
The question of the collision between
the Gladys and the La Paloma on Sep
TENDER has been referred to the re-
gatta committee with sta Elements by
both the shippers as to their positions.
AS two of the members of the COM
mittee. including the chairman, We're
aboard the Gladys in the persons of
Allan Dunn and Frank Halstead. Mr..
Dunn as chairman will request l.. A.
Thurston and F. NJ. Hatch to act, Civ
ing them a copy Of the Hawaii Yacht
Club rules. There is no ill-feelinR be-
tween the two shippers who merely ask
for decision in the matter as a guide
for future yachting in these waters.

THE MAJOR
AND THE
MUDHEN

The name Of Major w. d. Crosby
on the passenger list of the TRANSPORT
ing expedition yesterday afternoon
Mr.. Pratt and the Major were bows
together back in 1876 at school In
Beloit. Wisconsin. MAJOR or BILLY"
Crosby. as he was then called. was
generally astride of his hobby, natural
history. and Pratt sometimes accom-
panied him as fidus Achates and gen.
eral assistant. And thereby hangs a
tale.
Rock river runs hard by Beloit and
near the town is, or was, dam above
which the waters peacefully spread out
into placid pools and marshy runwnvs
where marsh birds abounded in their
season.
Following up his last pursuit, taxi
dermy, BILLY" Crosby was fired with
the ambition to secure and afterwards
stuff a specimen OF certain snipe that
made their headquarters above the
dam. Pratt was called in as assistant
and a plan OF campaign carefully
worked out. Billy, then a rusty faced
youth with n nose like horned owl
supporting goggles (this description
given by Mr.. Pratt may be biased) was
well equipped for the hunt with n
birch bark canoe and n valuable gun.
The birch bark canoe was comfort
able for one but load of two be-
hoved caution. To shoot from 1t ex-
cept under favorable conditions was a
risky procedure. Therefore 1t was
planned that Billy should paddle and
Pratt hold the gun In readiness to pass
1t to Billy when the snipe was sighted
The load consisted of the smallest bird
shot, so as to stun rather than kill the
victim but there was plenty Of it and
the gunpowder charge was generous.
Up the river above the dam, padded
the canoe with BILLY" at the Prov
peerlng through his spectacles for the
prey and Pratt with the gun. Sud
denly a feathered something came in
sight and Pratt all eagerness, without
waiting to pass the gun, fired. The
Majors version of what followed is
perhaps the more reliable.
"An old fat mud hen came placidly
out from the bank and crossed in front
Of the canoe. You could have hit her
with a rock but all birds looked alike
TO Pratt and without passing the gun
according to agreement, he hauled off
and blazed away. Bang! went the gun.
back went Pratts shoulder with the
recoil and over went the canoe I
heard the mudhen suuawk as I went
down. We had a lovely time getting
ashore and I lost my gun and my
glasses"
"And having lost his glasses" says
Pratt, "hc couldn't see the shore and
swan round like a blind turtle trying
to find land. The gun was gone. the
glasses gone and the canoe was water
logged. l don't know about the mud (
hen, thought it was a snipe, but Billy
was very indignant that should have |
the hardest bird In the world .
to hit for a squattering old mudhen |
without sense enough to get out of the /
way.
"The boys ioshed us until school
broke up about the trip and whenever
Billy wanted his gun he made sarcastic
to me. He went into the SER
vice as surgeon soon after and then he
married but neither of us has seen
zach other for many years. He. like
myself is married with a family, but
o me he is still Billy Crosby and | I.
suppose I am 'Mudhen Pratt to him"

DRIVING OUT MOSQUITOES.
Measures Taken in the Soudan Prove
Very Effective.

LONDON, Aug. 22.-Major PentoR
the principal medical officer of the
Soudan, gives an interesting report OF
the results of Ross's measures for the
prevention of malaria. lsmailia is now
practically free of mosquitoes and nets
may almost be dispensed with.
Two swamps northeast of the town
and others on the south have been FILL
ed up with sand, while third large
marsh on the north has been well
drained. Workmen are still filling ut
the pools and moving the coarse I'M
dergrowth. At first they were worried
in the evenings by the swarms of mos
quitoes, but lately they have seer
scarcely any.
Statistics in regard to the health Of
Ismailia show that from Jan. to June
80. 1908, was the healthiest period on
record There were only three cases OF
malaria in the hospitals. as compared
with SO in the corresponding period OF
1902 While throughout Ismailia there
were 1863 cases from Jan. l to May 10,
1902, the average for the same period
in 1903 was only ~. Many of these
cases were probably relapses from pre-
vious cases.
Major Penton suggests that when the
present operations against mosquitoes
are completed malarial fever will prae-
tically have disappeared.
