SCHOOL is ASSURED
Plan to Teach Citizenship As.
sumes Definite Form

The plan of Rev. West, of the First
Baptist church. for the organization of
a school which will train students in
citizenship, was discussed and favor
ably received by members of his
church yesterday, and the school is an
assured fact. A meeting of the mana
gers of various societies was sched-
uled for last night, but owing to the
storm the meeting was postponed.
Until this meeting is held definite
plans for organizing the citizenship
school cannot sbe made, but it was an
nounced last night by Rev. West that
one feature of the course Of instruc-
tion-a series of lectures by men
versed in governmental affairs-had
already been decided upon. The men
who will deliver the lectures have not
yet been selected.
1t is probable that the postponed
meeting of the church society heads
will be held this week and plans
mapped out for the years work.

time, but no one was injured and the
cars proceeded on the run without APP
parent injury.
The insulation was burned from cleo
trio wires leading into Seabury &
Westby's drug store, corner Third and
Maria, causing a blaze that was dis
covered as soon as it was started and
which was extinguished by the fire
department before more than nominal
damage had been done. This alarm
came some time after the storm had
ceased.
The roof of J. Rothchild & Co.,
wholesale millinery, 228 East Fourth
street, was damaged. 1t was found
necessary to call upon the salvage
corps. Considerable damage was done,
the nature of the stock being such that
1T is ruined if water soaked.

Whether from the storm or from
some political cause there was but a
corporars guard of Lincoln club MEM
bers at the housewarming scheduled
for the new quarters of the club in the
Court block last night.
United States Marshal w. H. Grim
shaw, of Minneapolis, was billed as
the speaker of the evening. The mar
shall was present and ready to speak;
he had braved the elements and come
ten miles to keep his appointment,
but the Lincoln club enthusiasts were
not present. The marshal left the coy
club rooms about o'clock and wended
his way back to Minneapolis. The Off
GERS of the club transacted minor busi-
ness and by $50 the lights were out
and the club rooms deserted.
There was considerable speculation
as to the cause of the failure~of the
audience to appear. Marshal Grim
shaw had been advertised to speak,
and il was expected that large mem
bership of the club would hear him.
The fact that less than half dozen
men turned out to welcome the clubs
guest verged on the discourteous and
ii is limited that not the weather con-
ditions alone prevented large audi
ence.
Grimshaw Persona Non Grata
Grimshaw is a member of the Dunn
state central committee, but his ap-
pointment cannot be charged to the
influence of the candidate for gov
ernor on the Republican ticket. He is
Senator Clapp's representative on the
committee, and as such, and from the
further fact that he was affiliated with
11o f1oa ~
ton fight, is persona non grata with
the Dunn committee bosses.
A story about town last night was
that the Dunn men in the Lincoln club
had not been consulted in inviting the
distinguished Minneapolitan, and when
they heard of his invitation they I'M
mediately started a backfire which re-
suited in so serious dimunition OF the
Lincoln club house warming assem-
blage that there was no meeting.
President Arthur w. Lyman, Secre-
tary E. r. Wakefield. two newspaper
reporters, three members of the club
and venerable, whitehaired colored
man resisted the movement to effectu-
ally remove any cause for Grimshaw
delivering his speech, but the mar
shall left the rooms and made no effort
to speak.
Laid 1t to the Weather
President Lyman expressed MS re-
greet at the shabby treatment given the
guest of the evening, but courteously
blamed the weather man for the lack
of an audience. Mr.. Lyman was a Col
Inns man during the campaign for the
nomination, and was asked last night
if the Lincoln club members generally
We're supporting the whole ticket, in
Guiding its head.
1T is one Of the principles of the
club" the president replied, "to sup
port Republican nominees. A member
who refuses to support the ticket is
scarcely eligible to continue his men,

Mr.. Lyman denied that there had
been designations from the clubs mem
bership because of refusal of members
to subscribe heartily to the platform
and the candidates put forward by the
Republican state convention.

The outing was a pleasant one until
about 5 o clock, when the rain storm broke
and there was rush for shelter and the

this year to prevent the use of state fair

Two bullet wounds, one in her wrist and

Gran shot his wife and himself in their

purse and the small amount of change
which it contained and when rebuked
by his wife few into passion and Mrs.
Gran departed from the rooms and took
refuge with another FAMILY in the same

At that time, it is alleged, Gran made
threats against her and on Sunday she

OF LOAN
MONEY IN VAULT

A brief local in yesterdays Adver-
tiser, to the effect that the bank of
Claus Spreckels & Co., had paid 5000 900
Of the loan fund into the Treasury, was
misleading without reference to pre-
vious items on the subject. Spreckels'
bank by the payment of Monday COM
pleted it's full allotment of one quarter
of the million dollar loan and accrued
interest.
Yesterday the Bank of Hawaii paid
in $101, S20.SS, having previously deposit
ed $50, 900 of it's loan quota.
Bishop & Co. have paid second
$4,000.
AS none of the four banks undertake

portion of the million and odd is now
in the Treasury vault speaks volumes

waterfront's Aching Void.

There was an aching void on the wa
terfront yesterday after the departure
of the warship fleet. The naval docks,
for nearly two weeks the scene of ex-
traordihary activity, looked like a de-
serted section of the town, mementos
of the visit showing in collection of
oil barrels and other debris. In day
or two Captain Niblack of the Naval
Station will have the docks restored to
their usual neat appearance and will
also have general cleaning up all
around the station. The Naval Row.
where five warships were anchored dur
ing~their stay, had an extremely vacant
look, and in fact the harbor looked
like house stripped of furniture on
moving day.

ECHO OF STREET
FRANCHISE WAR

The last echo Of the franchise war
between the Rapid Transit Co. and the
Hawaiian Tramways Co., which end
ed the past year in amalgamation UNI
der the former corporations name,
comes in the following item from the
record of the Federal Supreme Court
in Washington paper of December IA:
No. 116. The Hawaiian Tramways
Company, limited, plaintiff in error,
agt. the Honolulu Rapid Transit and
Land Company, limited. In error to
the Supreme Court of the Territory Of
Hawaii. Dismissed with costs on mo-
ton of Mr.. ]. j. Darlington for the
plaintiff in error.
On a submission Of facts the Ha-
waiian Supreme Court decided that the
Hawaiian Tramways Co., did not pos
sess exclusive, rights of operating
street railway upon the thoroughfares
where it's system extended. Some time
later the Hawaiian Tramways Com
pany renewed the fight against the
Rapid Transit Co., to prevent it's stead
lily advancing entertainments into COM
plainant's claimed territory, in the Uni
ted States District Court.
To the contention of respondent that
the matter was res judicata from the
decision in the Territorial highest
contt, the comn.ainant endeavored to
make out that it, as a corporate body,
did not authorize the submission to the
Supreme Court of Hawaii
Judge Estee decided adversely to the
Hawaiian Tramways Co., when it APP
pealed to the United States Supreme
Court on writ Of error. The dismiss
ing of the appeal now, on motion of the
appellant, is merely closing incident
