Has there been a graft on tho Ala
media?
That is the question that Is inter-
ssting waterfront men and others Just
now in view OF rumors of all kinds OF
trouble on the favorite liner. Yester-
day and for several days past there
was much gossip around town on the
subject and 1t was currently reported
that there would be wholesale sweep
OF the petty officers of the vessel
None of the rumors involved the navi-
eating officers or any OF the higher Of
ficers of the steamer. Inquiry at the
local Office of the Oceanic Steamship
Company elected little Information. II
was calmly stated that no hint OF any
trouble had reached the local office.
Such matters were generally attended
TO by the head office In San Francisco
and the local office would not be likely
TO be notified. At any rate nothing
had been heard. officers frequently
retired, several had gone into business
or professional life here and at least

1t is long, steady pull, uphill all the

there is a change of horses and

to a long, level plain, covered with
ashes and sprinkled with rocks that
have been elected from the crater in
times past.
1t is entirely possible that this rag
ged hole was blown out by some ter
rifle explosion within the body of the
mountain. 1t is also entirely possible
that the lava flow burned its way
through the hill and found an outlet
without violence. I do not know. But
it looks violent. The crater. anyway,
is something over three miles across,
and over all the floor of it is a black
lava flow, both the rough and the
smooth kinds, which l have heard
compared, POLITICALLY, to sea of stone
frozen into silence, but which looks to
me good deal more like a gigantic
asphalt pavement that has been heated
in the sun and that has run in waves
overlapping each other, as asphalt will
when molten. And has then coo'ed. /

seeing 1t, as bit of asphalt pavement

some giant beast had stepped in the

THE PIT OF HALEMAUMAU
The asphalt is cool now--but It Is not
all cool. over toward the side farthest
from the Volcano House. there yawns
the Pit of Halemaumau. I saw it,
first, in the night time, with the fire
that is in it directly beneath my feet.
Then, 1t was fearful. The flow of lava
that stretched across the floor of the
Pit, red hot, although it was more than
six hundred feet straight down, SEEM
ed frightfully close, and there were
spouting up from a cone below me
gouts of red hot lava that came out
with beating OF the sea of fire be-
meath that shook the whole floor of
the crater. This sea, liquid fire liter
ally, could be seen beating back and
forth under the black crust that had
formed on the floor of the Pit. a black
crust that was lined and seemed with
jagged cracks through which the red
cleaned luridly,

ton of a tribunal to arbitrate and the
decision of this body is final.
When the two cases came up before
the Board the signed statements were
presented and there were representatives
of the license applicants present. The
applicants reside in Hawaii. In one
district for which license is asked
there are 107 citizens and of these 81
had signed the protest. When the petit
ton was taken up it was found that
whole dozen of the names of signers
of the protest were also on the petit
ton. That practically nullified the
protest, viewed in one way.
An investigation will be made in the
district where the petition for the Ii
cense originated to determine which
document was first signed.

graphed by amateurs and artists. And
1t lies there in its majestic grandeur
and defies scientists and laymen, anna
teurs and artists alike. For no human
being can describe Kilauea. The sight
is an emotion-and emotions do not
lend themselves to description. Neither
does any picture that l have ever seen
do Justice to the volcano.

1 do not know how Kilauea originat-

undertake to tell you. Because the
chances are that you would not be-
lieve me, If you had seen the crater and
had a theory of your own-and If you
have never seen it, you could not be-
lieve.
AS it seemed to me-and it is all in
the personal equation-Kilauea is just
a great ragged hole in the side of Mauna
Loa. 1t is, maybe. thousand feet
deep in some parts, but of very much
less depth than that as to the walls
that shut it in on the lower side of
the mountain slope. Directly across
from the Volcano House, the walls fall
away almost to nothing. In one place
there Is just a gentle slope leading up

Acting Governor Atkinson held a
hearing on the subject Of the proposed
Hno Forest Reserve yesterday after
noon at the office of the Board of
Commissioners of Agriculture and For
estry. Among those present were
President Thurston and Commissioners
Holloway, representing the board. Land
Commissioner Pratt, Jared G.. Smith,
in charge of the Federal Experiment
station and f. S. Dodge, representing
the Bishop estate.
There was no one present who OPP
posed the proposition. Mr.. Dodge
stated that the Bishop estate was
strongly in favor of the proposed re-
serve and had itself reserved the for
ests on its property, not only within
the proposed reserve, but further down
as well.
Land Commissioner Pratt stated that
he did not have detailed enough knowl-
edge of the land to be thoroughly
satisfied that the line was properly To-
Gated on the lower side. but as the law
now stood it would permit the taking
out for homesteading purposes of land
included in the proposed reserve on a
hearing by the governor He did not
enter any protest against the proposed
lines.
The total area of the proposed re-
serve Is 10000 acres. OF this approx
mately one-third is government land
and the other two-thirds private lands.
The government lands, which can now,

daytime when they first issue from the
cones, but cool and rapidly become
black on exposure to the air-and the
lava spouted up falls back with a dull
plop, like mud. And, as the black
flows course across the Pit, there is
formed a kind of carpet in dull greys
and soft blacks and softer browns that
is most beautiful as it's patterns
change.
HOW TO SEE THE CRATER.
OF course, to see the crater properly,
you should make the first trip to 1t on
horseback and you should have a
guide. Alex, who leads all parties
down from the Volcano House, is full
of the lore of the place. He has been
there. 1t seems, for great number of
years, and has seen Madame Pele in
all her moods. Also, he is in love
with her and her house. He almost
lives in the crater literally. 1 believe,
in fact, that he would rather live there.
And 1 know he has petitioned George
Lycurgus to let him down on a rope
to where the lava is coming out on the
floor of the Pit, and has been some-
what hurt and indignant because
george would not DO IL.
II could go down there" Alex said
to me, in a grieved tone. IT have ask
ed them to let me. Well, they would
not. What can do?'
1 know what / would do, under the
circumstances. 1t is what Alex will
do, too, but from different motives. Be
cause George Lycurgus will not let him
go down.
After Alex has shown you all that
there is to see. in the way of show
places, the thing is to go down by
yourself, preferably on foot, although
you can take horse and leave it at
the corral on the lava If you like, and
study the crater, watching the flow
and finding out the hot places in the
rocks. You cannot get lost because
there are trails everywhere that it is
entirely safe to go. Then, when 1t
overcomes you, as 1t is certain to do in
a little while despite its fascination, go
back to the Volcano House, take a
steam bath heated in the same lava
flow that you have been watching, and
q long rest before you do down again.
And the second visit should be, prefer
ably, iat night If the volcano is going
too busy, the. flames in the Pit will
light the sky as soon as the sun goes
down.

Pictures OF Miss Alice Roosevelt taxi
en- during her visit to the Pail and her
canoeing rides at Waikiki beach were
forwarded yesterday to President
Roosevelt.
1t is safe to say, also, that enough
correspondence on the visit of the Taft
party to Honolulu went forward on
the Alameda yesterday to food the
country with the name of Hawaii. The
pictures that were taken are to appear
in Golfers, Harper's. Leslie's and any
number OF newspapers all over the
country. Many articles were for large
syndicates of newspapers.

A case where a dozen residents OF a
district signed a petition of a prospec-
tive saloonkeeper for the establishment
of a saloon and also attached their
names to a protest to the treasurer to
prevent license being issued, is a
novelty which came to the attention
yesterday of Attorney Breckons, Mar
shall Hendry and ]. r. Gait, sitting as
a board of arbitration.
The new law on the territory's statute
books gives the privilege to the resi-
dents Of a district of protesting against
the issuance of proposed license. If
a majority signs the protest, the treas
urer is to take cognizance of the fact.
The law also empowers the organiza-
