Board of Underwriters have stated
that kerosene oil, being a refined
product with the volatile gases elimin-
ated. Is not Therefore Explosive. Let
me call the attention of the public to
the fact that there are in the city four
engines that we know of which use
Kerosene oil illuminating OLD as the
source of power, and these engines do
not even require the spark used by
gas engines to.set off the explosion
which drives them. the heat generated
by the explosions being sufficient to
maintain the successive explosions re-
quired in the running of the engines.
one of these engines is at Mr.. c. W.
Macfarlane's store and shop. the other
three at Mr.. John Neill's machine shop
on Merchant street.
The writer lives out of town and is
compelled to rely on kerosene oil as
an illuminant and feels that those who
are compelled to use kerosene are en-
titled to adequate protection against
explosions and fires.
Thanking you for the use of space
in your paper. | am,
Sincerely yours.

RATHER SHORT DAY
IN BOTH HOUSES

Neither the Senate nor the House did
a great deal of work yesterday, the
week closing with the President of the
Board of Health on the grill, the seq
regation in Iwilei questioned and the
County Act still hung up in a special
committee in the Senate.
Accordingly, there is likely to be
something doing next week in both
branches. The Sunday law, althoug h
it has been expected to come back
from the Governor with a veto, did
not make its appearance in the House
yesterday, the attention of that body
being given to an effort to relieve the
mysterious epidemic that has broken
out on MOlokai.
The Senate yesterday passed, on sec
ond reading, the bill to put a spe ial
tax of 5000 a year on social clubs, thus
meeting the difficulties that have beset
the Pacific and that threaten the Elks
and the University Club.

MEMORIAL To A
MISSIONARY FATHER

Oahu College will do honor to the
Rev. Hiram Bingham whose generos-
| ity and Christian foresight established
Punahou on a substantial basis by un-
yelling boulder which shall mark the
spot where stood the home of this
early benefactor of the school. While
the program of the exercises is not
yet complete, the date has been
definitely set for April 10. This date
landing of the party of missionaries
among whom were Father Bingham
and Father Thurston.
The land around the Punahou spring
was originally given to Father Bing-
ham by Boki, the Inflated chief who
left on a sandal-wood expedition never
to return, and by him given to the
Punahou school. BY the gift this
school which has done so much for the
islands secured a site almost unsur-
passed and made beginning in a
property and endowment which has
carried it through sixty three years of
service
The boulder stands just Diamond
Head of Dole Hall. On it will be a
bronze tablet with this inscription:
"On this spot stood the home of Hiram
Binghar~ no gave this broad estate
20 the cause of Christian education.'
In the exercises of unwilling, which
will probably take place in the late
afternoon of April 10, DR.. Hiram
Bingham, the venerable son of the
donor, will have a prominent place.
Other representatives of the early mis-
sionary families will also have a part
1t is hoped that the occasion will cali
together not only all of the old friends
of Punahou but also a complete rep
resentation of the descendants of the
missionaries, and that it will arouse a
renewed appreciation of all that these
strong Christian men have done for
this community

WHO OWNS
THE LAND?
McCandless Committee
Wants to Find Land
lords in IWiIei.

81 have not yet found out who owns
the property in Iwilei that was made
profitable by the segregation of the
| women there" said Senator McCand-
less to his special committee yester-
day, but 1 viii. I propose to get to
| the bottom of this whole thing
The committee held its session i'm
| mediately following the adjournment
| of the Senate yesterday morning. D..
Hoffman was the first witness. He
told of French woman living in Iwi-
| lei having come to him for examination
He teIephoned TO the Board of Health
office to see whether they had any
blank certificates for that kind of
thing, and was told that DR. Cooper
had the matter in charge. He then
went to see DR.. Cooper. and was told
by that gentleman that he had an Of
flee in Iwilei to which these women
could come. He told the woman, ac
cordineIy, to go to DR.. Cooper.
The doctor went at some length into
his ideas of segregation, and after he
had left the stand there was a general
discussion among the committeeman
as to what had been accomplished 50
far. Hewitt said that, as far as he
could see. the investigation was cipher
ing itself down to an investigation of
Dr. Cooper. He thought, therefore, in
common fairness, that DR.. Cooper
should be heard. He did not see, for
his part, what right the committee had
to go into DR.. Cooper's private bust
ness. If it was intended to show who
got the money for making the exam
nations, that much had been shown.
Hayselden agreed that 50 much he'd
been shown, but there was more than
that He also agreed that Cooper
should have a hearing, and Gandail
said he believed that every physician
in town understood that he was at
liberty to go down and make these ex-
aminations if it pleased him to do it.
Then McCandless made his statement
about the Ownership of the property,
in response to question from Hewitt,
and the committee adjourned until
Monday, when DR.. Cooper will be
heard.
1t was, however, call d toga Their again
a little later, to give President Pinkham
of the Board of Health chance to
testify that the Board Of Health had
nothing whatever to do with the Iwilei
matter.
= Pinkham was questioned about DR..
Hoffman's testimony regarding the
Frenchwoman who had come to him
and whom he had been practically di-
rected to turn over as patient to DR..
Cooper. Pinkham said he knew moth
ing of the matter and had given no
such order.

IN re PROTECTION OF
LIFE AND PROPERTY

Editor Advertiser: There was a
large attendance at the public hearing
before the Finance Committee last
evening, at which meeting House Bill
No. 12T relating to kerosene oil was
discussed as was also a proposed I'm
derwriters' Substitute Bill, which lat
ter covered gaSolene benzine naphtha,
distillates, crude petroleum, spirits of
turpentine and other explosives
Mr.. F. j. LoWrey touched on an i'm
portant point heretofore overlooked by
the general public, viz: that, while
much discussion had taken place about
the safety of the various flash tests
for Crude Petroleum (Which can only
be used in power and gas plants very
little had been said in regard to the
question of the Safety of the Flash
Test for Refined Petroleum or K ero-
sene Oil used for Illuminating purposes
which is used in practically every home
which does not have electric lights. and

Kerosene which flashes at 116 degrees
and upwards is admitted into the Ter

no restriction except that the quantity
allowed TO be kept on hand in any

A SILLY SAYING,

at is a common but silly opin-
ion prevailing among GER
tain class OF people that the
worse Z remedy tastes, smells or
hurts, the more efficacious it is. =
So says a well-known English
physician. He further adds ::
g For example, let us consider
cod liver oil. AS it is extracted
from the fish this oil is so offen-
sive to the taste and smell that
many cannot use it at all, no
matter how badly they need it.
Yet cod liver oil is one of the
most valuable drugs in the world
and it is the greatest pity that
we have not thus far been able
to free it from those peculiari-
ties which so seriously interfere
with its usefulness" . This was
written years ago; the work of
ciYilizing and redeeming it has
since been triumphantly accom-
plished; and as a leading in
gredient in the remedy called
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
the oil retains all its wonderful
curative properties with no bad
smell or taste whatever. 1t is
palatable as honey and contains
all the nutritive and curative
properties of Pure Cod Liver
Oil, extracted by US from fresh
cod livers, combined with the
Compound Syrup of Hypophos-
phites and Extracts of Malt and
Wild Cherry; creating medi-
cine of unequaled power for the
diseases most prevalent and IA
tai among men, women and chill
dren. There is no other remedy
to compare with it. 1t increa-
ses the digestive power of the
stomach and in Blood Impuri-
ties. Throat and Lung Troubles,
Nervous Dyspepsia and Scrofu
lous Affections, it gives quick
and certain relief and cure. DR..
G. G. Shannon, of Canada, says:
81 shall continue its use with,
/ am sure, great advantage to
my patients and satisfaction to
myself" Has all the virtues of
cod liver oil: none of its faults.
You may trust it fully; it cannot
disappoint you. At ali chemists.
