YALEs OUTPOST aovERNoRs.
a Record without Parallel In Amer
lean 0oilegs History.

NEW HAVEN, Dec. 19.-On Dec. %
Gov. Taft departs from the Philippines,
and with that event. terminating his
Governorship over those islands, there
ends coincidence unique in the an
nails of Yale University, and very I'M
likely ever to be repeated in that or
any other American educational in
stitution.
The coincidence is that for the last
month or more Yale, represented by
her sons, has held at one and the
same time the Governorships of the
three so-called colonial ferries of
the United States and also that of
Alaska.
With the incumbency of Gov. Taft
Yale has governed at Manila; with that
of Gov. Hunt, in Porto Rico; with
that of Coy. Carter, in Hawaii; and
with that of Gov. Brady. in Alaska.
Cows. Taft, Hunt, Carter and Brady
are all Yale alumni. Altogether it
makes a page in history which Yale
can point to with pride.
The recent appointment of Mr.. Car
ter as Governor of Hawaii was the
last of these territorial Governorships
to be given to a Yale man.

ESCAPED JApS
ARE CAPTURED

The remaining two Japanese of the
auintette which made such a daring
escape from the steamer Doric last
week were captured Tuesday by the
immigration authorities and were de-
ported on the Nippon Maru Wednes-
day. Inspector Brown and Imr1igra-
ton Commissioner F. NJ. Bechtel were
walking towards the Bishop wharf
Tuesday when Brown discovered ia
miliar looking Jap trying to avoid
them. He was recognized as one of
the men who had escaped from the
Doric a week ago, and was arrested,
although stoutly denying his identity.
Taken to the immigration station DIR.
Katsunuma had no difficulty in identi-
flying the man. He was also found to
have been the same man who had
made several unsuccessful attempts to
get into the country. About a month
ago he was discovered escaping from
the China, ON which he had slowed
away, and was picked up out of the
harbor He was then ordered deport-
ed and sent back on the Gaelic to ia
pan. A week ago he turned up again
having arrived on the Coptic, from
which he also made his escape with
four other Japanese.
Three of these men were captured at
the time, but two disappeared. From
information obtained from the Jap cap
tured on the Bishop wharf the other
escaped immigrant was located at Aiea
plantation Inspector Brown with
Agent Klebahn of the steamship COM
pany went down to Aiea Tuesday and
brought the man back, and both were
deported on the Nippon Maru. The
capture saves the Occidental & Orien-
tai Steamship Co. $4,000, the amount
which they would have been fined had
the men made good their escape.

THE u. S. WEATHER

ologist, has received the following let
ter, which explains itself:

ture, Weather Bureau, Office of the
Chief, washington, d. G.

Mr. r. c. Lydecker, Territorial Mete-

Dear Sir: In response to your let
ter of December 4, 1903, in which you
make inquiry as to the probability of
the U. S. Weather Bureau establishing
a meteorological service in the Hawai-
ian Islands, permit me to say that this
matter has been under consideration
for some time. Our estimates now be-
fore Congress provide for a sufficient
sum to do this work, and, If the esti-
mates are approved, action WIN be TAX
en- to inaugurate a weather Service in
the Islands soon after July 1st, next.
Very respectfully,

TWO LARGE
MATTERS
KohaIa Water License
and Proposed Land
Exchange.

Governor Carter has completed his
examination of the matter Of she Ko-
| hala ditch license. In the course of his
review he noted sundry amendments to
the document as it came into his hands,
which changed it in some important
features as he deemed in the interest
of the Territory. The Governor ANAL
ly handed the license to Attorney Cen
eral Andrews, to prepare permanent
draft for putting up at auction. It is
likely it will be ready in time to have
the sale about the middle of February,
with thirty days prior notice.
A proposal for securing the Board
man lot on Lunalilo street as site
for the Normal School building through
exchange therefor of the Kiapapala
ranch lands on Hawaii is under con-
sfderation by the Governor. The Ka-
papala lands are under lease to the
Hawaiian Agricultural Co. to expire in
three years hence They contain IT,
0oO acres. of which a vast proportion
is useless. Some of it lies above the
zone of vegetation on Mauna Loa, and
some is covered with lava flows.
The owners of the ranch are willing
to buy the Boardman property and
deed it to the Government in exchange
for a fee simple title to the Kapapala
lands exclusive of a forest reservation
constituting about an eighth Of the
area, also exclusive of land suitable
for sugar cane cultivation which they
are ready to lease from the Govern
ment at 81 an acre. None of the area
is considered suitable for homesteads
or small farmers. Water for the stock
is brought many miles at great ex-
pense.
A statement furnished by the ranch
owners shows that, if taken for ranch
purposes, the cost of the property
would be SOS, 100, of which $4,000 IS for
1000 head of cattle and $500 for q
miles of fencing, leaving $4,000 for the
land. The Boardman property was APP
praised at $4,000 some years ago.
Governor Carter said regarding this
matter yesterday that he was general
ly opposed to land exchanges. yet it
was desirable to procure a good site
for the Normal School and this propo-
sition did not appear unfair to the
Territory.
He would be glad to suggest a 1isin-
terested commissioner in a case like
this, who would serve without pay, to
investigate the respective values.
Someone who is neutral or even adj
verse; the Governor said. and in this
instance, Brewer & Co. being an inter-
ested party should like to have a I4ar
like Mr.. Giffard, of w. G. Irwin &
Co., act as such commissioner.

NO MONEY
FOR FUNERALS

The Comptroller of the Treasury has
has decided that the Hawaiian Islands
must be considered as a part of the
of funeral expenses of an officer Of The
Navy who died there. The case con-
sidered in this connection was that OF
the late Paymaster Stewart Rhodes,
who died at Honolulu, and
the Comptroller was called upon
to decide whether or not the expenses
of his funeral, not exceeding his sea
pay for one year, could be betrayed by
the Government under Article 1852 OF
the Navy Regulations. He decided in
the negative.-Army and Navy Journal

A Well
Developed
Form

A good set of muscles is one of the
most excellent qualifications which any
person can possess. There is no posi-
ton in life for which they unfit one, and
there is none which they will not enable
one to fill to better advantage than he
otherwise could do. There are thous-
and and one emergencies in life in which
strong, vigorous, and well-trained mus
cles are of enormous service, and in
which their use may be of incalcuable
value Proper physical culture gives,
not only increased physical strength, but
greater dexterity, suppleness, and grace
of movement The person who walks
with a shuffling, swaying, and awkward
gait, does so, not on account of amp
original defect in his physical makeup,
but through the weakness of certain
muscles which, by disuse, have become
unable to do their part in the act OF
walking and so render him unable to
perform it in an easy and graceful man
ner. The trained gymnast exhibits a
lightness and elasticity of movement inn
possible to an individual who has not
had the benefit of physical training al

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

Asa, the dfminutive Japanese who
robbed several households of Honolulu
a few months ago. is wearing a red
striped suit and ball and chain now
adays Asa was sent up for a year. q
few weeks ago and ne made a unique
attempt to escape from the prison gang
last week.
One gang of long thine prisoners has
been working lately in the Makiki quar-
ny. With them is Asa. While the sixty
odd prisoners were 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 a 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
mystified as to how any man could have
broken through the circle without their
knowledge. The prisoners were first.
questioned, but refused to give any in
formation and the quarry was then
thoroughly searched. Finally one of
the guards carelessly kicked over one.
CT the empty boxes, and Asa, curled up
in q gunny sack, appeared. The little
japanese was taken back to prison and
was given a ball and chain for safe
keeping. Also Warden Henry gave him
a new suit, a gorgeous redzstriped one
by which he can be easily distinguished
from his fellow prisoners.
