NUNS VISIT THE
KALIHI SITE
SISTERS OF THE SACRED HEART
TAKE A TRIP TO THE LAND FOR
THEIR NEW HOME.

A party of twelve nuns and sixty
scholars from the Sacred Heart con-
vent made a special trip to Kalihi this
morning by the Rapid Transit, Mother
Superior Judith being in charge. The
object was to visit the site of the ladies
boarding school which the order con-
ducts and to get a general idea of the
land which has been secured for the
new buildings.
The trip of as large a body as twelve
nuns from the convent at the same time
was something out of the ordinary for
the convent for while the nuns are not
clustered in the accepted sense of the
term, they only go out as occasion de-
mands. 1t is needless to say that they
never go outside the convent for mere
curiosity but visits to the cemetery
and missions of charity are frequently
made. There are however some of the
nuns who from preference have not
been beyond the walls of their convent
home for long time.
The idea of the new home is hailed
with mingled feelings of pleasure and
regret by the nuns. They feel that
the usefulness of the school will be
greatly enhanced but there will be
pangs in parting from the old home
which has sheltered them so ong.

Federal
STEAMER
FOR USE HERE
APPROPRIATION OF $15O,OOO REC
ONMENDED FOR A STEEL
LIGHTHOUSE TENDER.

An appropriation of $150OO0 is recon-
mended in the federal appropriations
for 1907, to build a steel vessel for ser
vice between Hawaii and Midway and
Samoa, for the lighthouse service. The
appropriation is under the Department
of Commerce and Labor and in the rec
concentration it is set forth that the
Light House Board having jurisdiction
of this district is at present without its
own means of communicating the vari-
Gus points. The recommendation is set
forth in the estimates as follows

These islands are hundreds of miles
from each other and thousands of miles
from the lighthouse inspector and en-
gineer who have charge of them, and
are stationed at San Francisco. The

HEALTH
IS ALL
RIGHT
DIR. COFER RECEIVES AUTHORITY
TO TAKE OFF OUTWARD BOUND
QUARANTINE ON THIS PORT.

The quarantine on Honolulu was re-
moved today. Dr. Cofer, the head of
the Marine Hospital Service in these
islands, received the authority this
morning from Washington to remove
the ban upon the health of the islands
and today, Honolulu is once more as
clean as snow officially, from a medical
standpoint. It was not a case of be-
ing washed whittier than SNOW with Ho-
nolulu, but a case of waiting. Homo
lulu had to wait sixty days before the
quarantine was removed.
The community has gone sixty days
today without having a case OF plague
and as the period of probation expired,
the health restrictions which have
made things so irksome to people de-
parting by various vessels have been
removed. DR.. Golfer notified the Mar
inc Hospital department at Washing
ton yesterday by cable regarding the
expiration of the period of probation
today, and in reply, received authority
to remove the quarantine. This order
means that the conditions with out
ward bound boats will be normal. Peo-
pie will be permitted aboard boats. Per-
sons having friends leaving Honolulu
can go aboard the steamers to say
goodbye. There have been no restric-
lions on vessels arriving from the
mainland.

In this production is depicted purity

the vileness of the vile. 1t shows a
state of affairs that recently existed
in New York when young girls were
decoyed or kidnapped and sold into a
degraded slavery. This traffic in hu-
man flesh was carried on by an or
ganization having representatives all
over the country, and headed by n wo-
man in New York. Many of the young
victims were sent to China where they

! 1t was this play that called the at
tention OF the public to this awful con-
ditlon OF affairs and led to a crusade
which placed behind the penitentiary
walls all who were connected with this
gang.
The play is well written. There is
nothing In it to offend, but on the con-
trary it teaches a moral lesson and
shows the triumph of virtue.

ton is magnificent, and throughout
the. play Is a well defined current OF
rich comedy as well as the love inter

THE VENEZUELAN
RECEIVERSHIP
IF CASTRO CAN ONLY BE

ROOSEVELT WOULD LIKE TO DO

NEW YORK, December S.-A special
to the Herald from Washington says:
Efforts are now being made to remove
the Venezuelan question from internal
tlonal politics through an arrangement
which will be mutually agreeable to the
Governments of Venezuela, France,
Great Britain, Germany, Italy and all
other countries interested.
If the plan now under way succeeds
to the extent of getting President Cas-
tro to accede, President Roosevelt, in a
special message to Congress, will pro-
pose that the same experiment be tried
upon Venezuela which already has been
worked out i'm Santo Domingo, namely,
as a receivership in which the United
States, as receiver, collects the customs
revenues and disburses them equitably
among the foreign and home creditors.
This is the belief tonight among
Washington attorneys who represent
claimants against Venezuela, as we'll
as among the diplomatic representa-
tives of European powers whose sub
jects are creditors of the South Amer
lean republic.

to the situation in Venezuela, although
this is one of the most important SUBJ
jects before the Administration at this
time. - utaaui.

BIG SCHEME
TO ROVE
KAKAAKO
BISHOP PROPOSITION REMAIN
OCCUPIED
PERv1soRs AND REPRESENTATIVES, THE ESTATE DISCUSS
THE MATTER WITH SUPERINTENDENT HOLLOWAY.

The filling in of about a dozen acres
of Kakaako lands which, though resi-
dence ands, are practically swamp
during parts of every year, is pro-
ject which is occupying the attention
of the Board of Supervisors, the Bish-
op Estate, Superintendent Holloway
and the Board of Health. The matter
was brought up at the meeting of the
Supervisors last night, by letter from
Holloway offering material for the fill
ing, and Supervisor Lucas stated that
he had had a discussion with f. S.
Dodge of the Bishop Estate, which
owns the land, and that plans were
being discussed to carry out the i'm
provement. The project will transform
a lot of dumps into good home sites.
1t has already been started by a pro-
position from the Bishop Estate to it's
tenants whose homes are on the
ground.
Superintendent Holloways' letter to
the Board of Supervisors, responding
to a Kakaako petition, contained the
following:
"a sewer system for the Kakaako
district would necessitate a new out
fall station as most of this land, at the
present time, is below the sea level,
and there would not be a sufficient
fall to drain into the present sewerage
station. There is no appropriation
which would cover the cost of this
work, as the construction would be
quite expensive, and the matter would
have to be referred to the Legislature
at its next session unless it is decided
TO transfer the sewer system to the
County of Oahu.
"Re-filling the low lands of KakaalSo,
I would say that any of the material
taken from the Alakea street slip can
be used by the County officials for this
purpose, and I feel that the placing of
this land to grade would be a great i'm
provement, as certain portions of it
are entirely flooded during the rainy
season"

= SATISFY HIM.

Judge De Bolt this morning gave a
decision denying the motion of the
Territory to set aside the judgment for
damages in the matter of the extern
sion Of Kukui street, the decision be-
ing as follows:
1.-THE Territory now moves to Vacate
the Judgment entered herein on the
ground that the Court, at the time of
the trial. was without jurisdiction to
hear and determine the matter; be-
cause the Territory had abandoned
and discontinued the proceedings to
condemn the property of the claimant.
owing to the fact that the Court did
not have the assistance of the Attor-
ney Generals Department at the trial,
the point now urged being raised as the
Govt was about to order jury to be
drawn to try the cause, and the Deputy
Attorney General then declining to
participate in the trial, the question
of abandonment therefore was not
thoroughly considered. However, the
Court proceeded upon the theory that
title to the property in question had
vested in the Territory and that the
only question before the Court was
that of damages, and that the right Of
abandonment did not then exist. have

very able briefs filed by counsel on

The plan referred to by Supervisor
Lucas is one under which the Bishop
Estate is posting the following notice
throughout the district:
Notice to Tenants of the Bishop
Estate:
I'm order to improve the sanitary
conditions at Kakaako, the tenants of
the Bishop Estate, occupying house
lots on South street, Foundry street
and Foundry lane etc, are hereby re-
quested to raise their houses and 9TH
err buildings to a level of not less than
five feet above the official street
grades.
Upon the completion of said work
the Bishop Estate will proceed to fill
in such house lots to street grade at
its own expense.
FRANK S. DODGE,
superintendent Est. of B. P. Bishop"
superintendent Holloway has given
us written permission to use the Ala
kea slip material" said Agent Dodge,
land we are ready to go ahead with
the improvement if our tenants will
meet us half way. The expense to
which we shall be put will be ten times
what it will cost them. All they have
to do is to raise their little buildings
and we will go ahead with the rest.
president Pinkham of the Board of
Health has expressed his approval of
the plan and, if it is carried out of
course residents who do not meet the
proposition will have to take the con-
sequences. After the district has been
raised to proper grade, I do not sup
pose the Board of Health would toler-
ate the maintenance of a house far be-
low that grade"
The district in question is quite thick
ly populated, largely by Hawaiians,
and there would have to be a lot of
raising of small houses under the
scheme proposed. Some of them are in
such locations that residents have had
to leave home sometimes by ,Wading
from houses standing in lakes.

while the argument and authorities ad-

convincing, they are general in their
nature and not wholly applicable to the
peculiar facts and circumstances OF
this case. I am unable to bring my
mind to the conclusion that the judg-
ment is void. I believe it is valid. The
proceedings were, in all respects. regu-
lar; and the verdict of $3.50, rendered
