wrestler, was held at the police station
last night for investigate it being
a Japanese woman known as Ida.
Kambara is said to have lived off the
earnings of the woman, who resided
in Iwilei. She wished to leave the place
and Kambara is alleged to have told
her that he would kill her if she left.
The woman managed to get away last
evening and went direct to the police
station, and shortly afterward the

ton. He has contrived safe for use
on oceangoing steamers which, in case
the vessel is sunk in a storm, or is
wrecked, as in the case of the Valen-
eta, will float on the surface of the
waters until picked up by some salvage
seeker
According to his statement the buoy
ant safe works on the following prin-
ciples: One cubic foot of water
weighs 60 pounds; one square foot of
3-16 steel weighs pounds. A safe
five feet square and seven feet high
contains 175 cubic feet of air space
In the construction of this safe there
will be required 10 square feet of $40
thickness of specially hardened steel.
The safe will displace IT'S cubic feet of
water, and as the water thus displaced
weighs go pounds to the foot, 10,850
pounds of the liquid will be displaced.
The safe itself will weigh but 1,4oO
pounds, SO, leaving $3.50 pounds for the
contents of the safe in valuabIes, such
as gold, diamonds, etc, before it will
sink.
The safe itself is shaped like a shelf
from a cannon, and always floats in an
upright condition.

Minister of the Hawaiian Kingdom
raised himself upon his arm from his
bed, where he was even then dying of
6ropsy, exclaiming:
9 1t is SO. Are America and Eng
land, then, equals? We did not know
it before
And thereupon the separate treaty
with America was concluded, although
Thomas ap Catesby Jones does not ap-
pear to have completed it himself. It
provided, among other things for the
payment of claims due to American
citizens. amounting to some 100000.
Concerning this provision, over which
the dispute seems to have risen, Wyllie
denouncing it and calling the Amer
lean naval officers mean and petty and
various other things, Jones writes:
This payment was provided for with
out the necessity, which might other
wise have arisen. to dispose of half
the kingdom, which was a sale in
whose profits numerous subjects of
Great Britain were more than anxious
to share"
wYLLIE'S NOTE.
Among the Wyllie annotations to this
interesting document is one which
states that, prior to the visit of
Thomas ap Catesby Jones to the South
Seas in the Peacock, the natives of
ali the South Sea Islands, and of Ha-
wall, generally supposed the United
states to be no more than a colony
OF Great Britain. The impression was
probably spread by traders, and while
the missionaries would perhaps COM
bat 1t, they do not seem to have been
able to remove the impression until an
American warship came into South
Pacific waters with a man who knew
his trade in command of her.
Jones, by the way, in the document
now seen for the first time in half
century, tells among other things of
how he frustrated a scheme of the
British to make a descent upon the
coast of California. Which is history
for Americans.
The original of this Thomas an
Catesby Jones report must be in the
archives of the Navy Department at
Washington.

Navy Dobbin, which is dated Deem
Der 20, 1855, Commander Thomas ap
Catesby Jones relates that on the Goth
day of December, 1926, there was u
meeting called by the Queen Regent at
princes and prineesses of the blood
royal, at which he himself was present
in full uniform, as was also the Con-
sular representative of His Britannia
Majesty, Captain Richard Charlton, IN
full uniform.
s'The princes, chiefs and mobiles, -
writes Jones, sswere all -attired in cost
" garments, after our fashion.
After relating many of the details
of the meeting, Jones goes on to say
that when the question of the con-
elusion of treaty between the gov
eminent of the United States and that
of the ''Sandwich Islands, - was
preached, the British Consul, Captain
Charlton, made solemn protest in the
name of his government against the
conclusion of such covenant.
'tIf this treaty is made" said
Charlton TO the assembled chiefs and
mobiles, ''then my country will take
possession of these islands. as it has
perfect right to do, the natives here
of being only tenants on the sufferance
OF Great Britain.''
"Whereupon,'' writes the sapient an
Catesby Jones, Il asked him in what
capacity his government had sent him
to these islands?
He answered that he had been sent

power and authority to appoint con-
suis and vice consuls to represent the
interests of Great Britain

The New York City Church Extension and
Missionary Society will hold its fortieth ami
versary next Monday at ST. Andrews Churcn.
The committee expects the presence OF the
Rev Dinsdale T. Young of London Mr..
Younc is the pastor OF Great Queen Street
Chapel London. He met. in coming 70 his
work there the problems Of the downtown
church and his experience is Of especial value
TO churches in New York Doubtless the changed
population would be another problem common
to London and New York. Whatever the task
it is said that Mr.. Young. by the power OF his
preaching and the directness OF his methods
has mastered it. His point OF view is shown
by a quotation from his address in Chicago re-
Gently. He said:
Many churches have caught the epidemic OF
dignity Some are in danger Of succumoing. bOt
may God deliver Methodism from that Iate. IN
England we are trying to get Methodism into
the blood There do not want our faith TO
develop a snug religious club. but we want our
Church to become known as the grandest OK
phanthropic organizations
The Methodist type is evangelism John Wesr
ley was sOundly converted
Methodism began in evangelism and it's only
right TO exist is by evangelism. Every minister
should be his own evangelist, and the nouon
that any preacher is too good to be an eVahseAsC
should perish In England we are placing many
OF best ministers in the downtown olstrlcGs,
where the poor reside. Empty churches should
not be tolerated by Methodists. If the churches
are empty, something is wrong with the system
and it should be changed
Every minister should be his own evangelist
We have found in England that with mission
ary coming once a wear there is tendency to
try for conversions at no other time than upon
the occasions of his visits. 1 say that If the
methods Of any church do not bring in the
people. for Gods sake change the methods.
Those men who brought the paralytic to the
Saviour did not give up because the doors were
blocked. They uncovered the roof. 1t is time
for extreme expedients. if they are necessary.
May God baptize Methodism with the spirit Of
universal evangelization
Mr.. Young's chief duty has been to bear fra
ternaI greetings from the British Wesleyan con-
ference TO the general conference of the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church, South, assembled during
the month Of May in Birmingham, Ala. He has
visited, however, Chicago and Evanston, speak
ing at the great meeting in the Auditorium and
at the semi centennial celebration Of the Garrett
