A Floral Clock.

Many flowers show susceptibility
to changing conditions of light and
weather which make them most inter-
esting. This phenomenon has been
utilized by an Ohio landscape garden
er to form a unique decoration to the
grounds of the Rockefeller country
place at Tarrytown. This is a flower
bed which can be used as a clock. The
led is circular and divided into twelve
parts. Each contains a figure COM
posed Of a flower which orens or
closes at the corresponding hour Thus
the two space is occupied by the II
made of hawk weed, which closes at 2
p. m. precisely. The hands are sta
tionary, of course, and are composed
of the common yellow dandelion, which
opens at half past and closes at half
past p. M, and point to arrangements
of flowers representing these figures.
Among the flowers used are the snow
thistle, which opens at a. m. and
closes at 4 p. m. The blue chicory,
the goats beard, the morning glory,
poppy, water lily, the pimpernel, the
marigold, the Star of Bethlehem, the
passion flower, the beauty of night, the
white lychnis and the blue convol-
vulus,, all of which have different time
for opening and closing.

Infidelity no Bar to Jury.

Aaron Davis was on a grand jury
which indicted man for perjury in
Frederick, Md. Counsel for the de-
tense raised the point that Mr.. Davis
was an infdel and, therefore, was not
qualified to do jury service. The pros
ecution demurred to this idea, and
after hearing lengthy argument the
court overruled the contention Of the
defense, holding that, though a citizen
may be an nfdel, he is not therefore
llsuuali Ell from service as a juror.

Will open
NEW LAND

Yesterday Land Commissioner Pratt
received the surveyors charts for the
District of Honomu, shortly to. be OPEN
cd for settlement, and the charts will
be sent to Hilo by the next Kinau TO
have the lands appraised preparatory
to being thrown upon the market.
"'These lands of Honomu are agri-
cultural in character, and very rich,'
said Commissioner Pratt yesterday.
"There are, all told, little more than
6I5 acres, divided into twenty-nine
lots, ranging from seven and sixty-four
hundredths acres. which is the small
est, to thirty-five and two-tenths acres,
the size of the largest lot. The aver
age size is about twenty.three and one
quarter acres.
tThere is plenty of water, and about
two hundred acres of the land has been
in cane-is, in fact, in cane now. and
the whole tract adjoins cane lands. 1t
lies about two miles back from the
coast, upon the slope running up be-
hind Honomu plantation, and is about
ten miles from the town of Hilo, in the
District of North Hilo. 1t is all below
the l750-foot level, running to the for
est reserve me. some or the lots have
forest trees upon them, and will have
to be cleared. but the character of the
soil is all the same, ard very rich.
Probably lit will all be in cane after
it is sold. tsr'r
''The land must ne appraised before
it can be offered for sale, and after
that, of course it will be advertised
that is, after the appraisement. The
first choice of the lands will go to the
Oliver, or Portuguese Settlement Asso-
citation, that body having been the first
to apply for the opening of the lands.
This first choice is allowed under the
land law of 1885,

SHOT his SISTER
THROUGH THE HAND

C. X. II. Ching had bad aim with
the result that his sister. All Kun
Ching is in the Queens Hospital with
a bullet hole through her hand that
ought to have been in the body of one
Him wo, who according to the story
told to the police last night was in the
Chings' house in Robello Lane, with
evil intent. The woman stated that she
had retired when she heard noise at
the window of her room. Getting up
she saw Him Wo just inside the win
dow and close to the door leading into
the front room where her brother was.
At about the same time Ching heard
the noise and, taking his revolver he
started for the door. When close to
IL he saw Him Wo behind the door.
The intruder stepped toward him with
n threatening gesture. In his hand was
something that cleaned white, like
polished revolver barrel. Ching raised
his gun to defend himself and In his
excitement pulled the trigger before he
intended to. The weapon was but part
ly raised and the bullet went through
the hand of his sister who was in the
room where Him Wo was. At the same
moment that the shot was fired Him
Wo disappeared through the window.
Ching, who is q clerk in the tax Of
flee, Immediately went to the police sta
ton and gave up the revolver and other
evidence. The patrol wagon was hast
' fly dispatched to the scene of the shoot
ing and the injured woman conveyed TO
the Queens Hospital where her wound
was dressed. At a late hour last night
she was reported to be resting easily.
| No serious consequences were antici-
pated unless blood poisoning should set
In.
Him Wo, according to Ching's state
ment. has been bothering the family
before and only short time ago he
was reported to the police as having
threatened Ching with an iron har. lie
is said to be alshiftless loafer and will
probably want to keep away from the
police from this time on. An investiga-
ton of the Ching premises was made
last night and footprints found lead
ing to the window. Marks on the side
of the house and broken board show
ed how the man had climbed up to the
window sill.

INJUSTICE TO
THESE ISLANDS

Whatever may be done or left un.
done in the extension of the Chinese ex-
clusion law, so far as it affects the
United States, gross injustice will be
perpetuated unless some modification
of the law is permitted so far as it ap-
plies to the Philippines and the Hawaii
an Islands. The most competent OBJ
servers and students OF industrial con-
ditions in these dependencies of ours
are agreed that Chinese labor is abso-
lutely necessary to their prosperity,
and that unless something is done to
let in this labor to the islands, business
depression of the worst sort will be
their fate for years to come. In his
recent annual report to the Secretary
of the Interior, Governor Carter, of
Hawaii. urges upon Congress an amend
ment of the exclusion act that will per-
NIT the utilization of Chinese laborers
in the sugar and rice industries of the
Islands, now threatened with extinction
from lack of labor. Governor Carter
says that past experience proves that
the population of the Islands is in no
influx of Chinese. "The conditions
hSIc, NC says, lurtHeI, uiueI tuIIo-
ly from those which affect the Atlantic
seaboard, and provision for a limited
number of Orientals to work in the
cane and rice fields of these Islands
need not necessarily antagonize those
who believe in restricted immigration. -
Governor Carter, however, does not pro-
pose that the provisions of the exclu-
sion law shall be entirely abrogated
even in their application to Hawaii, but
suggests modification only, whereby
a limited number of Chinese may be
admitted to the Islands under restric'
tions requiring their return to China al
the end of given number Of years
and combining them entirely to the Is
lands. A request so reasonable as this
and at the same time of such vital i'm
portance to Hawaii will surely not bt
ignored by Congress. Leslie's Weekly

DANCING GIRLS
AND NATIVE MUSIC

Gaiety will be rampant at the Royal
Hawaiian Hotel dur,ng the next few
days in honor of the various transports
that will be here and the regiments
that are on board. Tonight and to-
morrow night dance and on Monday
night a repetition of the luau, or ma
tive feast, aud native dance that were
so eminently successful about arweek
ago. Following the hula dance gen
eral dance will be given as usual. Spe-
cial dinners will be served each of the
three evenings, during which the quaint
native music will be played and sung
by the kawaihau Glee Club, a purely ma
tive organization. Manager Fred Church
has engaged the four best dancing girls
on the Island for Monday, which will
enable visiting officers and their ladies
to partake of native feast and see
the graceful native dances at nominal
figure. In case the transports should
be delayed, and not arrive on Friday,
no dance will be given tonight, but as
the Sherman is now two days overdue,
it is safe to predict that she will be in
during the day. ~.

At the request Of Miss Maclachlan,
Mr.. John s. Ellis then sang several
Hawaiian songs, which were well re-

DIR. coopER's REALIZATION.

8. What charges are made for such
examinations, and what is the amount
collected per day, week, month or year,
and what disposition is made of the
money so collected?
The committee finds that DIR. Cooper
charges 81 per week for each woman
examined, and also find that at the
present time there are about 12S
women, as stated by DIR. Cooper and
1919 as stated by Paul Smith. These
women are examined each week, but
in some cases only three examinations
have been made per month. In case
any of these women are sick they are
treated, free of charge. by DIR. Cooper
until they have fully recovered. The
amounts collected for these various
examinations by DR.. Cooper, would
average about $3.50 per month, but
DR.. Cooper states that his expenses
per month are about $3.50.
4. Are the prostitutes obliged to live
In any one particular portion In Iwilei;
II not, have not such prostitutes been
told, in the near future, to live in a
particular portion of Iwilei, and IL so,
by whose order and who are the own
ers Of such particular portion of Iwi-
lei?
We find that the High Sheriff of the
Territory. through his agents, have
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1905-04-07

ordered all of such women that are
found in different parts of the city and
also in some portions of Iwilei, to move
to that portion of Iwilei which is ma
kai of the Iwilei rice mill, and On the
Eva side of the Iwilei road.
FIDELITY OWNS 1T.
We find that that particular portion
of Iwilei where the prostitutes are now
located is owned by the Fidelity In
surance Company, Limited, and is now
leased to a Japanese named Ogata by
misrepresenting the object for which
he wished to obtain this lease from
the Waterhouse Trust Company. the
agents of the Fidelity Insurance Com
pany. Limited.
From the testimony, which this COM
mittee has taken, we find no reason to
censure any one for the conditions
existing In Iwilei. The matter has
been, so far as we have been able to
find out, conducted, by those who had
the matter in hand. for the best inter-
ests of the community and we find no
occasion to censure those who have
had the matter in charge, realizing
that they have had a difficult matter
to contend with.
There are only two ways In dealing
with this question, one is, to properly
regulate, and the other is, to entirely
abolish. AS the resolution, under
which our investigation is carried on,
does not require US to go into this
question as to whether it is to be
abolished or properly regulated we will
not discus the question.
We find that the regulations that
have been enforced has had the effect
of removing the evil from the resident
portions Of the city to large extent,
and has been the means of preventing
the increase Of certain diseases, and
has removed 1t from the sight Of the
community.
