ASA TRIED
TO ESCAPE
Diminutive Jap Hid in
Gunny Sack at
Makiki.

Asa, the diminutive Japanese who
robbed several households of Honolulu
II few months ago. is wearing a red
striped suit and n ball and chain now
adays. Asa was sent up for year, a
few weeks ago and he made a unique
attempt to escape from the prison gang
last week.
one gang of longtime prisoners has
been working lately in the Makiki quar-
ny. With them is Asa. While the sixty
odd prisoners We're lunching the other
day, Asa thought he saw an opportu-
nifty to escape. He quietly slipped from
under the eyes of the guards and hid
behind n number of boxes which had
been piled within the quarry. His next
move was to get possession of an old
gunny- sack which had been used for
carrying feed. Into this bag Asa climb
ed, concealing his entire person. and
making his hiding place more secure
by pulling an empty box over his body.
When the prison luna lined up the
convicts after lunch one man was miss
ing. The roll was called and Asa fail
ed to respond. During the meal, the
camp had been encircled by the half
dozen guards and they were very much
mystitied as to how any man could have
broken through the circle without their
knowledge. The prisoners We're first
questioned, but refused to give any in
formation and the quarry was then
thoroughly searched. Firally one of
the guards carelessly kicked over one
of the empty boxes, and Asa, curled up
In gunny sack, appeared. The little
japanese was taken back to prison and
was given ball and chain for safe
keeping. Also Warden Henry gave him
u new suit. gorgeous red-striped one
by which he can be easily distinguished
from his fellow prisoners.

THE COUNTY

Governor Carter Will

Governor Carter has under considera-
ton the names of five men to appoint
as a commission to frame a County

LEGISLATURE From the fact that the
Governor has called Henry Il. Cooper
jectured that Mr.. Cooper will be APP
into consultation with him, 1t is con-
pointed as chairman of the commits
sion.
The Democratic party has recon-
mended E. M. Watson, and the Home
Rule party j. NJ. Poepoe, to the Gov
ernor as their respective representa-
tiyes on the commission. He had in
timated a willingness to have the OPP
position parties given representation, so
as to make the commission a medium
rejecting the views of all the people,
Beyond the foregoing information
nothing regarding the matter was
divulged at the Capitol yesterday, ex-
cepting a somewhat definite intimation
was made that the commission would
be announced before the Governor
departure on Saturday. Mr.. Cooper
was seen last night, but like the exec
utive was uncommunicative as to de-

METHOO|STS AND
WORLDLY PLEASURES

LOS ANGELES, May ia question
of important bearing, which has come
prominently to the fore in the Method
| list General Conference proceedings dur
volving a change in discipline to the
extent of entirely removing the church
| ban on the pleasures of dancing, card
playing and theater-going. 1t seems
| not unlikely that the conference will
vote to remove the present rigid re-
striction regarding the indulgence of
of the committee on state of church, of
| which Judge II. S. Sibley is chairman,
has reported back to the main body its
| recommendation upon this matter in
which it urges radical change in the
| church rule on the subject, making 1t
simply an advisory restriction, instead
of mandatory prohibition as at pres
emit Under the prevailing rule the
member of the church who attends a
dance or theater is guilty of direct
infraction of the rules of the church
and may be punished by expulsion, but
| if the recommendation now proposed Is
adopted this penalty will be rendered
entirely optional with the authorities.
The committee on state of church has
not decided definitely just what form
the recommendation of the committee
to the general body will take, but 1t
seems assured that it will propose some
radical changes in the discipline along
the line outlined.
This committee is also considering
other important changes, among which
is one involving the ratio of representa-
ton in the general conference. The
plan which has been proposed, and
which has met with some favor would,
If adopted, reduce the membership of
the General Conference from 74S to 500.
The absorbing topic of conversation
among the delegates this morning is
the announcement made last night of
the candidacy of Rev. Dr. Robert Nc
Intyre, pastor of the First Methodist
Church of Los Angeles, for bishopric
honors. The announcement of DR.. Nc
Intyre's candidacy, by his friends, came

1t is generally conceded that the Ptcific
Coast will be allowed to name one of
the bishops and until the entrance of

PACIFIC MAIL TO
PAY RIO LOSSES

Claimants against the Pacific Mail
steamship Company for losses sustain
ed In the wrecking and sinking of the
steamship Rio Janeiro obtained on May
. favorable decision in the United
States Circuit Court of Appeals which
reverses the findings of United States
District Judge John De Haven. The
decision was rendered by Judge Ers-
kline NJ. Ross. The responsibility of
the loss of life in the Rio was placed
upon the Pacific Mail Company. The
matter came up in the case of Clara
Barwick who had entered claim
against the loss of her husband on the
Inflated liner.
The decision OF the court of appeals
is based upon the proposition that all
of the Chinese crew of the Rio could
not speak or understand English and
that the crew, therefore, was made
quate for the exigency that arose.
Hence the company was held respon-
sble for the loss of life that followed
upon the incapacity of the crew to
launch the life boats properly.
The Rio. while attempting on Febru-
Francisco in a dense fog at half past
s o'clock in the morning, struck upon a
sunken rock or reef outside the Golden
Gate and sank within twenty minutes.

Chinese.

Judge Ross decision:

ditions five minutes was ample time

by a part of the Chinese crew. Yet

aft-quarter boat No. 10. was lowered

PRIMITIVE INDIAN TRIBE.
Of the Creek Nation Ad.
here to Customs of Gen.
fury Ago.

The Alabama Indians in the Creek
nation are so primitive in their ways
that they attract attention where In
dams are no uncommon sight. They
are living and practicing customs of
the Indians of 100 years ago. They
still speak their own dialect. being
the only one of the 40 different tribes
composing the Creek nation that does
this. None of them can speak Eng
lish. They live in pole huts daubed
with red clay, says the Kansas City
Journal.
The Alabama tribe has affiliated with
the Snake Indians, and is still more
backward In accepting association with
the white man. For long time they
refused to be enrolled on the lova1
Creek rolls, but Of late many of them
have been persuaded to come forward
and enroll. The prophet is the big
man OF the tribe. When a horse ia
stolen he is supposed to be able to find
1t, or 1t Indians become sick he is
expected to mako them well. IF a
drought overtakes the land he is ex-
pected to make it rain. He brews or
makes all the medicine. for his tribe
Pottery making, which is a lost art
with the Greek Indians to-day. was
possessed by the members of this
tribe until a few years ago. The last
survivor of the old school in the maxi
ing of pottery. was an old woman who

TO CURE THE HURRY HABIT
Tendency Which May Be Corrected by
Attention to Normal
Breathing.

If we want to get the habit of hurry
out OF our brains we must cut ourselves
off, patiently and kindly, from the at
mosphere of hurry about us, writes An
ME Payson Call, in Leslie's Monthly.
The habit gets so strong a hold of the
nerves, and is impressed upon them so
forcibly as steady tendency, that It
can be detected by close observer even
in a person who is lying on lounge in
the full belief that he is resting. It
shows itself especially in the breathing
A wise athlete has said that our normal
breathing should consist of six breaths
to one minute. If the reader will try
this rate Of breathing, the slowness oft
will surprise him. Six breaths to one
minute seem to make the breathing I'M
necessarily slow, and just double that
seems about the right number for or
binary people; and the habit of breath
ing at this slower rate is a great help,
from physical standpoint, toward eras-
ing the tendency to hurry.

tam Of popular education. FHrda come.
the public elementary schools, Of
which there are Id the empire So, 164,
with 144,4s4 teachers (122,145 male;
22,339 female) D. and 8,829,S12 pupils.
There are also GA private elementary
schools, with 10000 pupils.
Above the elementary schools rank
the middle schools of the townsville
Burger Schulen or Hohereburger Schu-
len-which fit their pupils for business
life. Children of the working classes
may continue their education at The
Fortbildung Schulen or continuation
schools" which are open in the even
ing or other convenient time.
The secondary schools are arranged
on a homogeneous plan. The Gym
nasia" are the most fully developed
classical schools, preparing pupils in q
nine years course for the universities
and the learned professions. These
are the most numerous and, in spite
of the tendency against the classics,
the most popular. The Pro-gymnasia
differ from these in not having the
highest classes. Then come the Real
gymnasia, in which Latin, but not
Greek, is taught, and more time is
given to modern subjects" The
Real Pro-gymnasia' have a similar
course, but have no class correspond
ing to the highest class in the preced-
ing. In the "Ober-Real-Sch and
"Real-Schulen" Latin is wholly dis
placed in favor of the modern Ian
guages. The high schools for the girls
are called "Hohere-Tochter-Sc
Besides these, there are numerous
"Gerrerhe-Schulen," or technical
schools, normal schools and semi
naries.
The climax is the university. OF
these there are 81, at the head of
which numerically stand Berlin univer-
sity, with more than 5000 students.
Leipsic is one Of the oldest, celebrat-
ing in October, 1905. her five hun
dredth anniversary. In this university
is the home of the great scholarship OF
which the Germans are justly proud.
The German professor and the Ger
man university student may not be
dismissed in a brief article. They
merit careful and prolonged attention.
Let us not forget, however, that
American institutions are attracting
worldwide attention, and less and less
is it becoming necessary for the adj
vanced student in certain lines to visit
European schools. The amount o.
money poured out for American
schools by private citizens astonishes
the Germans, whose schools are sub
sidized chiefly by the state. America
in some educational features lis decid-
eddy in advance Of Germany, though
we acknowledge the supremacy of the
fatherland in her vast and patient re-
searches in her commanding scholar
ship in all lines.

UP HILL GOING AND COMING
Travel in the Ozarks of Northwestern
Arkansas Is Ever on the
Ascend,

did you ever strike section of the
country where you had to go uphill all
the time, and could never enjoy the lux
ury of going downhill at all, no matter
which direction you might take?" asked
a man from Arkansas, relates the New
Orleans Times-Democrat. well, I have.
Now, don't like to talk about my own
state. Outsiders, as rule, will look
latter the oddities of the section Of the
world from which come, but I want
to make a comment on northwestern
Arkansas, the mountainous section,
which has not hitherto been made. Out
In Washington county, in the Ozarks,
around Fayetteville, If you travel at all
you will have to travel uphill. There is
no such thing as going downhill. If you
want to walk you walk uphill; If you
ride or drive, it must be uphill, and hills
are not of the gradually sloping kind,
either. They are abrupt, steep. As
result of this popularity the men in that
section who do great amount of walk
Ing have a motion that is peculiar to
that section. They stand even in a
slanting attitude, and due altogether to
the fact that they are always walking
uphill. Put them on level ground and
you will notice that they are bent for
ward at considerable angle. had one
old man of that section to tell me that
level ground made him :seasick.' He
could not stand the rolling prairie OF
course, this may be putting things lit
tie strongly, but the conditions in that
section are certainly peculiar: There is,
to be sure, physical condition which
may be described as downhill; but all
the roads lead uphill, and whether you
are going or coming, you must go up
hill" r.
