wailuku, Maui, T. H.,

May 10, l6ui.
Editor Advertiser: In the Advertiser
of May 18th. 1904, appears an article
headed as follows: Government may
take over Lahainaluna Water Rights
Attorney General Andrews and Deputy
Sheriff Chllingworth go to Maui for
purpose of asserting Territory's
rights"
l am not given to answering sensa-
tional articles of this nature, but, in
this particular instance. In justice to
myself, brother attorneys, and clients,
I ask for sufficient space, in as promi-
nent place as the original article.
for the following remarks:
Among other things the article says:
1st THE Pioneer Mill Company has
enjoyed the water rights claimed by
the Territory, or Department of Edu-
cation, for twelve years"
This is false.
End. THAT it was at the instance
of the Plantation that the Government
brought suit to determine the owner
ship
This Is false.
3rd. THAT the Pioneer Mill Compa-
ny was taking advantage of every
technicality in the present hearing be-
fore the Water Commissioner, and
using every means to delay the trial"
This is false.
4th. "That the Plantation, without
authority or justification of any kind
began the use of the water twelve
years ago, and. when the Department
of Education attempted to assert its
rights, the Plantation claimed to con-
troll all of the water"
This is false.
5th. THAT no lease of the water
rights has ever been given"
This is false.
9Th. The balance of the article Is
a mixture of falsehood, with dash of
truth here and there; and nearly all
of which the Attorney General has re-
pudiated.
Three articles of like nature have
now appeared in the Honolulu press.
The first two We're allowed to pass I'M
noticed. 1 felt it about time to have
a word.
One cannot censure reporters for
gathering news; but there are many
who do have contempt for a person
too cowardly to permit his name to
appear within or at the foot of such
an article.

BROWN WILL
INVESTIGATE
Maui Police Methods
Are Said to
Be Lax.

High Sheriff Brown will probably go
to Maui today to correct some evils
said to exist in the police administra-
ton of the island There are no charges
against any official of that island, but
the High Sheriff is not satisfied, from
report brought back by Deputy Sher-
if Chillingworth, with the methods
used in the collection and accounting
of fines and costs in the district
The immediate trouble which calls
for the visit of the High Sheriff arose
during the trial of a Japanese woman
at Lahaina before Judge Kahauielio
last Friday evening. Both Attorney
General Andrews and Deputy Sheriff
Chillingworth prosecuted and the wom-
an was convicted and fined fifty dol
lars and costs. She paid over the
money to the court and was about to
be released, when Deputy Sheriff Chill
lingworth objected. No mittimus had
been made out for the deputy sheriff
at Lahaina, and Chillingworth objected
to the release of the woman until the
police department had been given sat
isfactory evidence of the judgment of
the court. The mittimus was then
made out and the difficulty settled, but
Deputy Sheriff Chillingworth inNesti-
gated and was not satisfied with the
methods used by the police and the
magistrate. lie learned that Il was the
custom Ia release prisoners when they

INTERESTING
QUESTIONS
Pension Is
Queried in Hospital
Argument.

Yesterday theNSupreme Court heard
argument on the appeal OF Queens
Hospital Trustees from the decision of
Auditor J. II. Fisher, refusing to issue
warrants for paying the usual monthly
subsidies to the hospital. Robertson
4 Wilder appeared for the appellant;
Emil c. Peters, Deputy Attorney Gen.
eral, for the appellee. F. A. Schaefer.
vice president; Geo. w. Smith, secre-
tary. and e. F. Bishop, treasurer, Of
the Queens Hospital corporation, were
present to give evidence.
Mr.. Robertson contended in his argu-
ment that the hospital was n public
institution, recognized as such under
successive forms of government. Un-
der the monarchy the sovereign was
president of the corporation and under
the Republic the president of the Re-
public, by an amendment to the char
ter, was given the same position ex-
ofiicio. Since annexation the charter
had not been again amended, but Gov
ernor Carter had de facto exercised the
functions of president of the corpor-
alton, making the last biennial APP
pointments of half of the number of
trustees. Among other authorities cit
ed was that courts decision refusing
to dismiss the appeal in this case.
Mr. Peters. closing for the Auditor,
laid reiterated emphasis on the charter
itself, showing that it was framed ac-
cording to the statute and, in conform
ity thereto, made the specific purpose of
the hospital the free care and treat
ment of sick and injured Hawaiians.
1t did not make particle of difference
If the hospital were shown to be giving
free treatment to persons of other ma
today, since that was only
permitted but not made n purpose in
the statute underlying the charter.
Such wider dealing of the hospital
might be stopped tomorrow. From the
terms of the statute, the hospital was a
private institution. 1t was the same
as If Eva Plantation Co. started
hospital for the benefit of its laborers.
but by vote of the management chose
to admit patients from all over the
Territory. That would not make it
n public hospital which could legally
receive assistance from the Legislature.
Chief Justice Frear and Justice CAL
braith put various questions to Mr.. Pc
ters, in answering which he always
came back to his main proposition,
that the Queens Hospital hav-
ing been instituted for the benefit of
INDECENT sick Hawaiians, with mere
permission "to contract for" the care
OF sick foreigners" was a private in
stitution. He supposed case of the
voting relief to an in
jured policeman, when Mr.. Robertson
quietly asked:
Hasn't the Legislature voted a PEN
sion to a policeman's widow?'
Mr.. Peters replied that such appro-
priations had never been tested in
court. mentioning the pension to the
eX-Queen as belonging to the same
and not of undoubted legality.

Inquiry at the Attorney Generals
office brings the statement that the
Pioneer Mil Co. has enjoyed the water
rights of Lahainaluna, IL not for ex-
actly twelve years then for nearly that
length Of time; that the suit was
brought upon the request of the Pho

Hilo. May 18th, 1904.

Hlo, May l2tn, lSvf.
Editor Advertiser: My attention has
been called to an article in the Gazette
of May 3rd, in which you do not give
me fair deal, your insinuations in said
article are vague, and would tend to
reflect upon ones character. Your state
ment, that l paid over an amount of
money few hours before the arrival
of Mr.. Pratt and Mr. Peters. and aft
erwards another amount, is untrue, also
your statement as far as / am concern
ed, that it was by discoveries made by
Mr.. Williams: as the facts of the case
are. / turned over the sum of Si37150.
on my own statement of all the
amounts that l had on application, on
Thursday, the day after Mr.. Pratt,
Commissioner of Public Lands, arrived
here. There was nothing hidden in my
having these amounts, as they were not
due the Government until action had
been taken on same, as to whether the
applicants We're successful or unsuc-
cessful, in their Prove-Ups, and in
many cases large portion of this
amount is to be turned back to I'M
successful applicants when called for.
While here Mr.. Pratt thought it best
for me to turn over all these amounts
that l had on deposit, which l did.
Yours sincerely,

Judge Dole stated that certain points
had been raised but not argued on the
motion for a new trial. He should like
to hear argument on these points,
therefore would continue sentence until
Monday next. In answer to a question
he said argument should be heard as
early as possible and by agreement Of

Judge Dole intimated that the chief
point on which he desired to hear argu-

is that the Territorial Government has
reason to hope for a retrocession of

it in view of the advanced steps to-

Eggs.

While looking over Philadelphia
daily recently, noticed little article
saying that the average American did
not eat enough eggs This set me
thinking, and wondering how | could
get our family to eat more. Following
will be found few of our favorite ways
of serving them Sometimes for break.
fast we have, what has been named "a
lay downfall" This is how it is pre-
pared: Take one egg for each person and
one for the pan; break them into bowl
and beat until well mixed, but not light;
add one tablespoonful of cold water for
each egg and salt and pepper to taste;
mix again, put lump of butter in a
frying pan as large as a walnut, for half
a dozen eggs. Let this get very hot.
Now pour in the eggs, and when this
begins to cook around the edges, take a
knife and raise it up so as to let the soft
part run underneath; do this until all is
set, take from the fire, serve quickly on
a hot platter. This is very good, and
has the advantage over an omelet, as it
does not fall. Then another way to
serve them for luncheon is to boil half
dozen hard; when cold remove the shells,
cut in half, lengthwise, take out the
yelks, and mash very fine in bowl; to
this allow one or more tableSpoonfuls of
salad dressing, one of peanut butter, one
of chopped parsley, salt and pepper to
taste; mix well and put back in the
whites, serve on lettuce leaves, garnish-
ing the edge of the dish with thinly
sliced tomatoes.
Still another pretty and appetizing way
is to have dish of nice stewed toma-
toes; pOach in hot water as many eggs
as you desire, have some slices of toast
ready, too; put the toast on hot dish,
pour the tomatoes on the toast, then
put the eggs on top; serve very hot.
In hot weather nothing could be more
refreshing or nourishing than an egg
lemonade. Most people think they can
make it, but / wish you would all try
this: Beat an egg until very, very light,
add to it one dessertspoonful of granulat-
ed sugar, three CRATES of nutmeg and a
pinch of salt; now beat again, then add
gradually one tumbler of ice water,
stirring constantly; when the water is
all in, add the strained juice of half a
lemon, little cracked ice. This is de-
liciOus.
If one is not we'll and the physician
orders raw egg to be taken daily, as is
so often the case, try putting little
lemon juice in small glass, then the
egg, then little more lemon on top;
this will entirely disguise the taste and
odOr of the raw egg.
Eggs contain so much that is valuable
as food; there are no bones, no hard
ends and no fat to waste. If little
care is taken in the preparation, and
little study put upon the matter, you can
have many slightly and tasty dish to
tempt the appetite.-Ex.

Dress of south African Tribes.

Fashions among the native tribes or
South Africa are thus described by
recent writer: Il uring one season the
people are all wearing safety pins rs
Earrings: the next season no one Will
.ook at them. for pins are out and
buttons are in. In one tribe blue
spotted cotton handkerchefs are all
the rage, but fifty miles away no one
will look ut such things-they want
cotton shirts. The only universal orna-
ilent. perhaps. consists in beadwork.
Some tribes. such rs the Fingoes and
Zulus. take to beadwork more than
others; tn. one thing they are all con-
sistent in is Il strangely good taste for
color combination. They never indulge
in a combination of gaudy colors. never
affect an inharmoniouS color scheme,
thus bearing out Ruskin's statement
that bad taste in color does not arise in
people who are left to themselves and
nature" Hairdressing is Il prodiSious
business among them. The process is
assisted by liberal use of red clay,
and as the perfected work of art is
expected to last Il month the head is
permitted 10 rest on the nare OF the
neck only when tie owner sleeps.

Democratic BeIRiun,.

Belgium is probably the most demo
cratic of all the monarchicaL states.
The king Of the Belgians not only does
not wear crown. but has not even
got crown to wear! No coronation
ceremony is known to the constitution,
the sovereign inaugurating his reign
simply by taking an oath to govern ac-
cording to the laws. Moreover, the
births Of his. children. II he has any,
must lie registered in exactly the
same phraseology and in the same set
of books as the births Of his humblest
subjects.
