HEAVY QUAKES
FELT IN KAU

(From Wednesdays Advertiser)
The steamer Mauna Loa which got
in early yesterday morning brings re-
ports of heavy earthquake shocks in
the Kau district The shocks were
very frequent and some were of con-
siderable duration. No damage was
reported. The steamer brought up
many tourists and an unusually heavy
cargo. She had $500 bags of sugar
which was put off at the Oceanic
wharf. Heavy weather was experienced
on the outward trip but the incoming
voyage was very pleasant. Heavy
rains are reported on Hawaii. Six inch
es fell in the Honokaa district in three
days and it was still raining in Kau
when the Mauna Loa left Kailua.

NOT ENTITLED TO 1T.
By Reason of Many Things
Supt. Miller Should SubSide
(Herald, April 2nd.)

"Mr. Miller is evidently not a man of
very fine sense of honor or he would
have resigned his position after his re-
election last year when he found the op-
position to his being retained was so bit
ter. During the past school year his
efforts along educational lines have been
SO bitterly opposed that the school board
might as well have thrown the salary
they have paid him at the birds. His
connection with the 'get-rich- quick
scheme has not only brought him in dis
repute with the patrons of the schools
but has killed whatever influence he may
have had with the schools under his
charge. The other charges against him
have not been proven, in the opinion of
The Herald, but such as have been
proven from his own statements in the
interviews he has made, is sufficient
grounds for the board of education to
notify him that his resignation would be
acceptable.
"If through his innocence he was in
duced to enter into a contract with the
Bloomington concern, that alone should
be sufficient reason why he is not capa-
BILE of holding such responsible posi-
tion as he now holds. A man who is
