The per capita consumption of
alcoholic liquors in the United States
for the year just past, totals 49,
gallons for each man, woman, and
child. which ia the largest in the
history of the. nation. Twenty years
ago, less than IL gallons per capita
was sufficient to supply thirst for
stimulants which now requires nearly
twenty. Possibly the alarmist gets too
much alarmed, but there must be a
halt sometime, or we will become q
nation of inebriates.

But few people seriously consider the proposition
to teach the Chinese language in our American COL
leges. Yet there is much in Chinese literature and
history that would prove valuable to the western
word-especially now that China is being developed
and European and American influences are creeping
in.
Why study Chinese?

teries of modern government life in China TO do

ARE THE VOUCHERS
BURNED OR ONLY HID?
CONFLICTING STATEMENTS AS TO THE EXISTENCE AND
WHEREABOUTS OF THE PAPERS THAT SHOW WHO
GOT THE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS SPENT BY THE
HOUSE AND WHY THEY GOT IT..

The vouchers of the Houses eXpendi-
tures are destroyed; they are in the
possession of Speaker Beckley; they are
in the possession of Representative w.
NJ. Purdy, chairman of the committee
on accounts; they are held by ]. p.
Makainai assistant clerk of the House.
These are the four statements now
made regarding the missing receipts
for public money. Solomon Meheula,
clerk of the House this morning stated
that the vouchers We're not in his pos
session. "If there had not been so
much talk about them they would never
have been concealed" said Meheula.
The talk, however, all followed the
concealment.
The story of the disappearance of the
vouchers forms a remarkable chapter
of legislative history. 1t is now near
ly two months since the documents,
which are reported to contain evidence
of some scandalous disbursements of
public money, were secreted. At the
end of the regular session The Star
published a list of the House warrants
and a representative of the paper then
asked to be allowed to see the vouch-
ers.
The clerk, assistant clerk and speak
er of the House were all seen in turn
without success. A few days later it
was learned that there had been a lit
tie meeting of those interested, when
they found out that The Star wanted
the vouchers, and a decision had been
reached that they should be burned.
The news of this extraordinary in
tention was published, and the de-
struotion of vouchers was postponed.
Efforts to get the vouchers were re-
newed by The Star representatives, but
the receipts were carefully guarded.
Speaker Beckley finally announced that
the documents would be made public
when the Senate's warrants were, and
The Star published the Senate's list of
warrants. 1t then appeared that Beck

same as for the immigration commits

perintend the erection of the building
and the arrangement of the exhibits On
the funds in sight he will not be able
to do very much. The Legislature made
an appropriation of 100000 and the pres
ent plans include a building to cost $21,-
900. 1t is possible that additions will be
made to the fund set aside by the legis-
lature, but Superintendent Cooper, who
has the matter in charge, said this
morning that he did not know of any
further funds for the work.

GOT NO TRACE
OF MURDERER
POSSE RETURNS AFTER UNSUC-
CEssFUL SEARCH FOR YANAGAI
THE EVA MURDERER.

Detective McDuffie and posse return
ed last night from an unsuccessful
hunt after Yanagai the Eva murderer.
The first reports of the locatio of the
murdered appear to have been some
what different from what the officers
learned during their hunt.
Instead of the murderer having made
his appearance at Waipahu, a couple Of
days ago, he was seen high up on the
plateau between Waialua and Waipahu
Moreover his presence was not report
ed to the authorities until six days af-
ter he had been seen. The murderer
was seen by an old Japanese who ped
dies charcoal about the country. The
charcoal peddler was making his way
from the mountains back of c. A.
Browns residence. and seeing some
guava bushes, went into them for the
purpose of gathering some fruit
The peddler happened to look through
the bushes and saw a man in a sitting
position with his head bent forward
and a revolver in his hand. Just as
the peddler saw the sitting man, the
latter awoke and springlng to his feet,
showed the revolver at the peddler and
inquired if he We're looking for him.
The peddler did not then suspect who
the man was but assured Yanagai that
he had merely come into the bushes
to pluck fruit. The peddler was per-
mitted to depart after being warned
not to mention having seen anybody.
This occurred on Tuesday of last week.
The police We're not notified of the oc-
currence until Monday of this week.
Although the posse arrived six days
behind the murderer the officers went
to work and beat all over the country
In an endeayor to get some trace Of
the missing man. The work was very
difficult owing TO the brush and
Tickets. The weather was very hot
and oppressive and the officers expert
enced great inconvenience and suffered
considerably from the heat. Numerous
places were visited, The charcoal
burners in the mountains back of the
Brown residence were visited but no
one was seen who had noticed the MUIR
derer Only the old charcoal peddler
saw Yanagal.

 MT. Clark says that during the con- gross he was present at a conference of the engineers of the geological sur Vcy, of whom large number were present as members of the congress. He said the incident was a most in terestinG one to him as many of the plans of various projects were under discussion and it gave him a better understanding of what Is going on. He said that while he did not butt in" with any leading questions, the conversation of the engineers seemed to be of a trend that left no doubt in his mind that they accepted the Tonto project as an assured enterprise.
 MT. Latham said he had most en- ioyable trip also and returns more en- thusiastic than ever regarding the fu- ture, if such a frame of mind can be imagined.
