OPEN AIR CONCERT
At KAMEHAMEHA

An artistic and enjoyable success.
was the novel open air concert given.
at the Kamehameha school Tor Girls
last evening for the benefit of the
Boys Clubs and the KaiuIani Home
Between four and FIVE hundred people
occupied seats on the campus while
the mauka lanai served as stage.
The girls chorus sang the two open
ing numbers very well. Both the Boys
and Girls GIee Clubs showed the effee
OF long training, and the Hawaiia-z
songs of the Boys club were partica
Iarly appreciated. The double quar-
tette. of young ladies' was recalled
after contributing two songs The
voices We're very clear and sweet.
Mr.. Lot Kaulukou was also eonpellz
ed to respond to an encore. He sang
Let He Love Thee" and Island Of
Dreams in his usual good voice. The
svelI-trained mixed choir sang two en-
joyable numbers accompanied ON the
violin by ". A. Love. Mrs. Turner ac-
companied Mr.. KauIukou

| but his system of manipulating public
moneys was deemed to be SO contrary
to sound and safe policy that Mr. Pratt
removed him on the spot for ineom-
petency. Mr.. Ragsdale was found to
have treated his collections of fees and
rentals as private funds, depositing
them in bank to his personal account
without entering the payments up in
the Office records. He even attempted
TO justify this mode of exercising his
public trust, putting forward the plea
that he was able at any time to pay
the Government its dues. 1t was rep
resented by him that ne was but follow
ing an old custom of the Sub-Agency
in Withholding receipts of money until
the land patents were obtained from
the head Office in Honolulu.
Mr.. Pratt's intention is to appoint
two hangers, one for each district, in
place of Mr.. Ragsdale at salaries re-
spectively of $50 and $50 a month. APP
plications for the positions will be re-
ceived by him, but in each case must
have the endorsement of the precinct
club and the district committee OF the
Republican party.
What if anything may be done by the
Government in the cases of the off,
ciaIs found to have withheld public
moneys after they should have be
accounted for and paid over to the Land
once remains to be seen. Technically
such conduct has a hard name. Wheth-
a shield or only a delusion to the delin-
uuents may be the problem with which
the authorities are confronted.

Little as the president of the Board OF
Trustees and in circular issued in the
| spring of 1909 it was announced that
Judge Little would deliver the COM
mencement address. To the few people
present at the time Farr announced
| that the judge could not come but had
sent on his commencement address to
be read. He did read it and a fine
specimen of a Ldttietonian grafton 1t
was. big w&h wind. ornate in diction,
garnished with flowers from the gar.

lous.
On August so. 1902. the State Of Ten
nessee on relation of the Bar Associa-
ton of Nashville commenced proceed
ipgs against the Nashville College OF
Law alleging that it was practicsng a
fraud on the public. The court entered
a decree against Farr and the College
annuling the charter and forbiddfng the
granting of more degrees. b this time
an inquiry was started as to Judge Lit
tie, the reputed president of the Board
of Trustees, but no one Knew anything
of him and it was generally supposed
that he was a myth.
After the closing of the college by the
courts Farr continued to grant degrees
until few months ago when the u. S.
brought before the grand jury and in
dicted for fraudulentlR using the mails.
The Indictment is still pending. No ac--
tion has yet been taken against the
president of the Board of Trustees, but
a full statement of DR.. Little's connec-
tion with the fraudulent scheme is filed
in the office of the Attorney General
In making an investigation of the mat
ter, one of the members OF the Bar
Association of Nashville wrote TO FAIR

settled the matter:

Miss LuShiagtOn'S Lover.

The June sunlight filtered through
the Venetian blinds and cast Pickering
shadows on Miss Virginia Lushington' :
usually sallow cheeks, flushed now with
excitement as she wrote sheet after
sheet, her pen stumbling over the
words in her haste to tell the tale
She was writing to her sister. AS a
rule they had little in common, for
Lucie was a poor sort of creature, with
no spirit of her own, but in the great
crises of life any cOnfdante is better
than none, and Miss Virginia felt that
she was approaching a great crisis in
hers.

uttered an exclamation of annoyance,
carefully mopped up the offending ink
and then, her train of thought inter
rupted, leaned back in her chair with
a sigh, not of sorrow, but of over
wrought feeling.
Outside in the gardens the band was
playing, groups of snartly gowned wO-
men lowering about, their gay para
soils contrasting with the white caps of
nurses in charge of patients; for the
Buxton season was beginning with its
mingling of pleasure seeking visitors
and invalids in search of health. But d
few weeks ago Miss Virginia would
have found it hard to decide in which
category to class herself. There WAS
no doubt in her mind now.
Dear fellow" she murmured,
smoothing her glace gown with medita-
tive fingers. Dear fellow; what ten
derness-what comprehension He Gi-
vined my case at once. 1t was not so

MEETING A FAILURE.
Western Roads Failed to Agree ON
Grain Tariffs.

Chicago May 2.-Western traffic Of
fcials adjourned their meetings after
discovering that it was impossible for
them to arrive at a settlement of the
grain rate war. After agreeing upon
the through and proportional rates the
lines split upon the division of the
through rates. The Northwestern held
out for IA cents east of the Missouri
river, while the Nebraska lines insisted
upon Il cents. Neither side would
bulge. and it was decided to permit
the Northwestern to issue it's grain
tariffs and to then check in the rates
on their basis and see the result.
Failure to agree upon sugar rates
was also announced. The committee
having the matter in charge met today
and found that the Southern lines wer e
still unwilling to raise the rates from
New Orleans to the point desired by
the other lines. The question, there
fore, goes back to the general meeting.

BIG LAWYERS HIRED.
Railroads Get the Best Legal Talent
to Fight ScaIDers.


Chicago, May -Four lawyers of
national reputation have been en-
gagged to present arguments to prove
to the federal court that injunctions
should be granted restraining the
nontransferable railroad tickets The
quartette will be led by J. NJ. Dickin-
son, former member of the Alaska
boundary commission and general
counsel for the Illinois Central, and
the others will be John M. Wilson
of Wilson, Moore & McIIvaine Will
liam ]. Calhoun. attorney for the Bal
timOre & Ohio and a prominent figure
in national politics, and Frederick 8.
Winston, attorney for the Michigan
Central
There will be other attorneys, but
these four will arrange and present
the case on behalf of the railroads
Should extended argument be neces-
made by former Judge Dickinson, and
if the business interests are permitted
to intervene it is likely that Mr.. Will
son will follow with an argument in
favor of the injunctiOns on the ground
that Chicago will suffer great pecu-
mary loss unless people are permitted
to stop over here on the way to and
from St. Louis.
The array of legal talent represent
ing the railroads will be such as is sell
dom seen on one side of case. Both
the railroads and the business men
feel that the fight either will prove a
Waterloo for the scalpers or will en-
trench them in their business so firm
~ that the movement to rid the coun-
try of them will be put back many
wears.

What LiquOzOne Is.

Liquozone is the result of process
which, for more than 90 years, has
been the constant subject of scientific
and chemical research. Its virtues
are derived solely from gas-largely
oxygen gas-by a process requiring
immense apparatus and Ia days time
Each cubic inch of Liquozone repre-
sents the virtues of 1850 cubic inches
of the gas.
The result is a product which does
what oxygen does. Oxygen is the
nerve food, the blood food, the scav-
enger of the blood. It is the very
source of vitality, the most essential
element of life. But oxygen is a gas
and unstable; while Liquozone is fixed
and concentrated. 1T gets an excess
of oxygen virtues into the blood, to
90 wherever the blood goes. The re-
suit is a vitalizing tonic with which no
other known product can compare.

men expected to see a livelier interest

On the other hand, travel into and
through Colorado from eastern points
presages one of the biggest years for
tourists that the state has ever known.
Although the regular excursion bust
ness does not open until June 1, there
is already quite a noticeable increase
in travel to Denver and the west. This
is partly accounted for by the inaugu-
ration of a rate to the Methodist qua
drennial session at Los Angeles next
week, many hundreds of persons out

men declare, what may be expected
when even a better rate is procurable.
