The Chinese, it seems, have a great

BARBOUR
L.ATHROP
Society Leader Is Here
in Search of
Rest.

Mr.. Barbour Lathrop, frequent Wis
itor in Honolulu, returned yesterday
on the Siberia and will remain a couple
of months. He is registered at the Ha-
waiian Hotel. Mr.. Lathrop states that
he came here for rest and, knowing the
islands we'll, feels certain that he will
find what he came for.
Mr.. Lathrop will be well remembered
by society folk in connection with tho
fancy dress ball and cotillion which he
gave in Progress Hall few years ago,
which was quite an exclusive event, to
which only the ''36" were invited. In
fact. it was so exclusive that Mr..
Lathrop was compelled to deny that
he intended to be Honolulu's Ward Nc
Allister.
The San Francisco Wasp of recent
date has the following interesting squib
on Mr.. Lathrop:

mittees of the Waialae, Kaimuki and
Palolo Improvement Club met in the
Judd building at o'clock yesterday.
The question of planting trees was
referred TO a committee to cooperate
with the Arbor Day Committee. Royal
D. Mead's committee on transit and
water supply reported progress.
1t was suggested to put in a hydrant
at Koko Head avenue and irrigate the
trees along that street.
DR.. Rogers spoke of the necessity of
having some paid lunas to boss the
prisoners digging the holes for the
trees.
The treasurer, c. NJ V. Forster, re-
ported seventyfve members on the
roll and fair sum in the treasury.
1t was suggested that the commit
tee on transit and water supply should
arrange concessions, if possible from
the Rapid Transit Company toward
transporting the necessary prisoners.
A liberal sum was given the tree
planting committee to plant trees. It
is proposed to put in $500.
The Board of Supervisors have APP
propriated $4,000 for Waialae road as
| a commencement. 1t is expected work
will begin at once.
The road committee was instructed
to look up the question of dumping
being done within the district.
Arbor Day will be celebrated

clause which expressly forbids the
burial of Chinese at sea and requires
the company to bring them to China
or at least to land for interment. It
is not at all uncommon, even in Ha-
waii, for the bones of Chinese to be
disinterred and shipped back to China
and the Board of Health has had more
than one scrape with Chinese who
make a business of cleaning the bones
before shipment. The Board of Health
will not allow disinterment before a
certain time has elapsed and the Chi
nese sometimes try to evade the regu-
lation in this regard.

Captain John Kidwell, recently re-
turned from the Sound, says that there
is a possibility that Jim Hilrs big
boats may be induced to come here on
their way back from the Orient. II
would not be practicable for them to
come this way going out for they are
of such heavy draught with west
bound freight, that they would have to
lie outside the harbor. OF course. aft
er the federal government finishes the
dredging of the channel and harbor,
they could come into port It is not
presumed that it would pay them to
bring passengers here coming and have
to take them off in the tug.

Roosevelt Delivers an Address

gress at Washington
PRESERVATION OF TREES
The President Declares That Only

Realization of the Necessity of
Preserving Them-other Notable
Speakers.

Washington, JAN 5.--The American
forest congress today held the most
important of its five days sessions.
The morning meeting was devoted to
discussing the relation Of the railroads
and forest. AT this afternoons ses-
sion addresses were delivered by
President Roosevelt, French Ambassa-
dor Jusser and President Hill, of the
Great Northern railroad, members of
both houses of congress and represen-
tatives of educational institutions,
lumber and livestck interests.
President Roosevelt said in part:
The president said in part: This
meeting may well be called congress
Of forest users come together to con-
slider how best to combine use with
conservation, and is to me full of the
most hopeful possible promise for our
forests. Producers, manufacturers and
great common carriers of the nation
had long failed to realize their true and
vital relation to the great forests Of
the United States, and the forests and

misunderstanding has gone by. Your
coming is a very great step toward the
solution Of the forest problem-a prob
lem which cannot be settled until the
forces which bring that settlement
about come, not from the government,
not even from newspapers and public
sentiment in general, but from active,
intelligent and effective interest of men
to whom the forest is important from a
business point of view, because they
use it and it's products; and whose in
terests are, the. efore, concrete, instead
of general and diffuse. / do not in the
least underrate the power of awaken
ed public opinion; but in the final test
it will be the attitude of the industries
of the country which, more than any
thing else, will determine whether or
not our forests must pass into the
hands of forest users either directly or
tinue to hold some of them, but only
as trustee. The forest is for use, and
it's users will decide it's future"
The president then at length describ-
ed the place Of the forest in the life Of
the United States, showing how largely
diversified interests are dependent
upon wood, water and grass from the
forest. He said unless the forests of
the United States can be made to meet
the demands of our great progress and
growth, commercial disaster will inev-
itably result. The administration, he
concluded, would be ever ready to give
aid and assistance to forest preserva-
ton.

received by the steamer Empress of
Japan, state that the Russians have
built series of redoubts about Muk-

large stores of amrnunitiop are accu-

great preparations are being made, tho

munitions have arrived since August.
There is plentiful supply of coal and
flour, but medicine is scanty. Japan
has been advised of the increasing
numbers of Russian troops in north

many quarters that Russia is sending

WANTS CASE TRANSFERRED.
Attorneys in Breach Of Promise Suit
Filed Motion.


Waterloo, Jan. 5. H. B. Boies, at :.
torney for Mrs. Effic Curtis. defendant
in big breach Of promise damage
suit, brought by q. w. Bowder, filed a
motion In district court yesterday af-'
ternoon to have sl1e case transferred
to Bremen county The reason for the
transfer is alleged to be the fact that
the defendants home is at Waverly.
Judge P1att, who is pressing at the
January term Of court, in this county,
has not set any definite time as yet
to hear the arguments on the motion.
It is expected that the attorneys for
Mr. Bowder, the plaintiff, who are B.
F. Swisher and A. B. Switzer to this
city and Tom II. Milner of Belle Plaine
will resist the desire of defendant't at
torney to have the case transferred.
A discrimination should be made be-
tween a motion to transfer a case to
another county and change Of venue.
The former is based upon the question
Of citizenship, and the latter upon pre-
iudice either on the part OF the court
or the people.
The ruling Of Judge Platt upon the
motion will be watched with more than
ordinary interest because Of the SEN
sational allegations set forth in the
petition Of the plaintiff. 1t was be-
lieved that the case would be heard
here at the present term of court and a
good many people, those interested.
either by curiosity, or other motive,
had planned on attending.
There were predictions shortly after
the fling Of the petition that the case
would be settled out of court, but the
defendants attorney, in filing motion
to transfer it to- Bremen county, In
dicates that an opportunity will bs
given Mr.. Bowder to verify his allega-
tions by proof before jury. It y
known that the defense is assembling
a formidable quantity Of counter testt-
mony, and when the case finally comes
to trial it will no doubt be filled with
sensational featurese.
