ANTl.MOSQUITO CAMPAIGN.

Printed directions how to prevent the
breeding of mosquitoes should be is
sued, in brief and clear form, to every
householder in Honolulu, the text be-
ing adapted to the language of the man
who is expected to read 1t.
Something should be done to prevent
the wanton destruction, In suburban
duck ponds, of gold fish which eat mos
quito larvae, and to introduce such fish
to all mosquito breeding pools where
they do not now exist
The Board of Health should consult
the Department of Agriculture at
Washington as to the ACCESSIBILITY OF
bringing here the plants which, in
swampy countries, prey upon mos
quitoes and the night-hawks which
pursue and eat them: and IL the re-
Spouse is favorable get the assistance OF
the Department in collecting speci-
mems.
School-children should be given spe-
cial instruction about mosquito breed
ing places and induced to see that nc
water is allowed to stand about theii
home yards in large or small con
tanners.
Householders should be induced I,
forego lily pools and trickling fountain,
OF which there are many in the city, al
of them propagators of insect life.
! Sufficient funds should be set apar
by the authorities to give petroleum
fair trial in all waters where mosaui
toes breed.

TODAY'S EXEC JTlON.

The hanging today of Tanbara elsa
oure for the brutal murder of Captau
Jorgen ]. Jacobsen of the schooner
Fred. j. Wood will be the first legal
execution in Hawaii under the Federal
statutes and also of any kind since
the organization Of the Territory. Taa
last hanging under the laws of the
islands occurred six years ago, whep
the murderer of DIR. Smith of Kauai
was executed in Oahu prison.
This official execution today should
be valuable object lesson for the Ter
ritory. Not only does it show that law
and order must be maintained within
the Territory, but also that the arm
of the law embraces the sea as we'll,
and that murder upon an American
ship is punished just as surely and
even more quickly than one where the
law is enforced by the regularly con-
stituted guardians of the peace.
Tanbara had taste of American
law even before he touched an Amer
lean port. Caught almost in the act
of murder with bloody knife still in
| his hand, the first mate of the vessel
| ordered his arrest and placed him IN
the hold of the ship in irons. He was
put on trial before jury chosen from
the ships crew, given an impartial
| hearing and by the jury sentenced tC
be hanged. But the crew left the
hanging for Judge Estee and the Unit.
ed States Court and did not go quits
| to the extreme In fulfilling the judg-
ment pronounced by the ships court.
The Japanese are said to have nc
fear of death, and Tanbarl has GER
tainly not shown any loss of courage
up to the very day of his doom. lie
has been stolid and Indifferent through
1t all. But though the Japanese ordin-
arily brave death, it is vastly differ.
ent to meet it on the battlefield or ever
in a personal encounter, than ignomin-
iously on the gallows. Tanbara has
apparently no friends among the ! CO.
pie of his own race, and his execution
may serve to check to some extent the
prevalent homicidal mania which APP
pears to be on the increase among the
lower classes Of japanese in Hawaii.

REFOREsTATlON.

The coming here of VIM. L. Hall, an
expert forester whose position under
the Federal government gives him Off
cial standing, Will, we trust, mark the
beginning of definite and continuous
policy OF reforestation in Hawaii.
Within the memory of men now in
middle life-say forty-five years ago
the rainfall of these Islands was much
greater than 1t now is. due to the pres
ence Of dense forests of which the
uplands have been all but denuded
since. In that day the great Waianae
range, so much OF which is now bare,
was luxuriantly clad and at little
earlier period the Wahiawa district
was heavily wooded. All of the ISL
ands of the group have similar story
to tell-a decreasing rainfall coincident
with a decreasing forest area. AS
result many Of our great agricultural
enterprises have been forced to adept
costly irrigation systems.
Most of the forest destruction has
been caused by cattle and sheep. There
are those who dispute this fact on the
ground that large trees, which cattle
could not hurt by their movements or
their quest Of food, are dying as rap
idly as saplings. But close inquiry
shows that the two effects spring from
the same cause. Hawaii is not a coun-
try like the Eastern part of the United
states where water can be found at
the depth Of eight or nine feet into
which the roots OF trees make their
way and get continual refreshment:
but a country Of surface moisture,

THE DAvlS.ALLEN AFFAIR.

George Allen dispatch. 1t was simply
the case Of special message being ac-
cidentally mixed up with Associated
Press news, the special being entirely
correct except as to its news source.
Inquiry yesterday morning developed
the fact that Davis himself had ad-
mitted the truth Of the statement about
his correspondence with Allen, the facts
being known to Senator Cecil Brown
and others. What is gained for Davis
by showing that the Associated Press
was beaten by this interesting piece OF
news we leave it to the Bulletin to ex-
plain.

EXERTED
FOR CONTINUATION

Nine of the Jurors who convicted
George E. Ferris of murder have pc.
titioned Governor Dole to commute his
sentence to life Imprisonment. The
three remaining jurors are out of
town. Petitioners give as reason
for clemency that the prisoner was
drunk when he committed the deed.
E. C. Peters. since appointed Depu-
ty Attorney General, was associated
with C. F. Reynolds for the defense at
the trial and after the departure of
Reynolds carried on the appeal with
Mr. Douthitt. In letter to the Gov
ernor Mr.. Peters advocates commuta-
ton of the sentence. saying there are
not more than five states in the Union
where the trial Judge has not the OPP
ton, unlike in Hawaii, OF sentencing
to life Imprisonment as the alterna-
tive of capital punishment.

of the murder who was never called

Governor to influence him against thu
carrying out OF the death penalty. He
declares from what he saw and heard
at the killing of Watson that Ferris
acted in self-defense. His reasons for
not offering his evidence are that he

homicide took place, kept him from

LIGHT ON JUDGE GEAR.

Judge George D. Gear called a re-
porter of the Advertiser to an office
yesterday and wished him to say that,
as Circuit Judge, he would not dismiss
the proceedings against the Campbell
estate which have been instituted at
San Jose, Cal.
The Sunday Bulletin of San Fran
cisco shows why. THE FATHER AND
BROTHER OF JUDGE GEAR HAVE
BEEN EMPLOYED AS ATTORNEYS
TO BRING THE ACTION and of
course they must be paid. A large
share of whatever spoils may be secur-
ed there will go into the Gear family's
pockets. If there was to be anything
more for the Gears at this end of the
line the profits of the little transac-
ton might grow very large indeed

LOOKING THIS WAY,

Inc mere announcement in the As
sociated Press dispatches of the ap-
pointment of Theodore F.. Lansing as
immigration Commissioner sufficed to
bring him letters from people who
want to settle here. Probably a hun
dred such letters followed the cabied
story about a possible opening of pub
lie lands. All over the Union are peo-
pie who long for home in the Amer
lean tropics many of whom would like
TO take up land and produce some
thing.
Speaking of small farming yester-
day Mr. Lansing said that he could not
answer inquiries about it until he
could find out something about avail
able tracts. There's the rub" The
small farm must precede the small
farmer; and very little is being done
to get it ready. There is land enough,
as we all know, but until 1t is survey.
ed and mapped II will be useless for
the purpose named. Once 1t Is made
ready there will be no trouble in get
ting farmers to occupy it. Is there
any higher duty before the Territorial
government than to put this land in
the way OF development along "tradi-
tional American lines?"
While the Government Is making UP
its mind it might be good thing for
the holders of great agricultural es-
tates to consider whether farmers
would not be desirable buyers OF
lessees. Both the Bishop Estate and
the Oahu Railroad & Land Co., couAd
easily get into touch with the people
who are writing to the Immigration
| Commissioner.

WHOLESALE IMMIGRATION.

commissioner General of 1mmiSra-
tion Sargent Is quoted in the current
files as saying that information re- 4
GENTLY furnished him from New YORK
CITY and other large centers of popa-
lation proved the laxity with which
the immigration laws have been en-
forced in the past. He said that IL
demonstrated the crying need Of reme-
dial legislation by the incoming Con-
gress to stop the tide of immigration
to this country, which promises to
overwhelm 1t.
1.-The Investigations conducted In New
York alone show that no less than 6oo
of the poorer class of immigrants per-
mitted to land last year at Ellis Island
are now inmates Of penal and chari-
table institutions of that State, and
that 5000 people of the same class
were sent back to Europe during the
current year"
1t is a curious fact that every effort
is made to let into the country the low
est and most degraded of European
peasantry and at the same time to
annoy, hinder and harass travelling
foreigners of wealth and position. We
have had, in Honolulu, an example of
the systematic effort to make cabin
passengers wish they had stayed at
home in the Customs inspection of
through baggage-an inspection which
was repeated in San Francisco, maxi
ing the one held here superfuous.
