I favor of raise in salaries. but Off
! cia1iy my duty is plain to define the
/ law as [ find it
| 1T is the desire of Mr.. Adams to
| ascertain just where they stand. If
| the appropria tions for the park are not
valid, then they should not be made.
| When il was proposed to eXpend money
| for improving the park not being ask
| ed for an opinion 1 did not care to butt
| i hecauSe as I have remarked, the
| object itself was perfectly worthy.
NOW that a legal opinion is solicit
! ed, however, it is incumbent on me as
, law adviser of the Board of Supervis-
ors to go to the bottom of the ques-
! ton. What makes me, at first thought,
feel strongly impressed against the
coanty s eApending of money on Kap-
| iolani Park is the fact that there is a
specific Territorial statute placing that
park under the care and control of
I trustees or commissioners These
| trustees are specifically prohibited by
| he statrte~ from disposing of any por-
| ton of Kapiolani Park
Indeed, the argument against the
appropriations for the park is stronger
than that on which my opinion ad-
verse to the making of school appro-
oriations was based. For. while there
is no statute giving the county power
to aid the schools. neither is there
any such specific prohibition of inter-
ference on their behalf as, in the other
matter, the Kapiolani Park legislation
implies:
Not that the county is without
jurisdiction of parks because it has
charge of public roads and grounds in
general but the question now present.
ed has relation particularly to the ex-
penditure by the County of Oahu upon
The Improvement of Kapiolani Park.
This, as already stated, is trenching
upon matter for which the Legisla-
ture has otherwise provided. Any pub
lie grounds not by statute under the
care of the Honolulu Park Commits
sion are on a different footing
Referring casually to the matter of
present school necessities Mr. Douthitt
said he could not see how the Board
Of Education would be able to expend
the school tax money if it We're sur
rendered by the county.
The money would have to go into
the Territorial treasury as govern
ment realization becoming portion
of the consolidated current revenue for
drawing against by warrant of the |
Auditor. This official could not draw
a warrant for one dollar--to paw either |
a teacher or a janitor-Over and above |
the amount of money appropriated by |
the Legislature for the Department of /

anything at all they should be able tc
/ give an intelligent idea about what is
/ left of the current crop.
Their inability to Judge of the inn
mediate future and professed ability
to know all about that which has not
yet occurred ought to impress the
trade with the Importance of forming
judgment more upon facts, and less
on future possibilities. 1t must also
be known that the BraZilians can only
make estimates of the future by COM
parison with the present, there being
no other possible way of arriving at
figures. So if they do not know the
extent of the balance of the present
crop. ii is easily seen how little weight
attaches to their estimates of the fu-
ture.
CONSUMPTION INCREASING.
with the fact that consumption
continues so much ahead of produc-
ton, the only restraining feature to an
advance in prices is the accumulation
of stocks from former years, but then.
these are diminishing very rapidly, and
with the consumption of Brazil coffee

TAFT ADMITS THAT
OUTLOOK IS GRAVE

CHICAGO, February 21-Secretary
of War Taft, who was the guest here
tonight at dinner given by the Yale
Club, in discussing the situation in the
Far East, revealed some little govern
ment uneasiness as TO the outcome ana
he did not deny that the detachment
of $4,000 troops which has been dis
patched to the Philippines may be
needed in China in the near future.
The Eastern situation is problemat-
i"9l." he said. China is now in
state of unrest. To many it seems
that the conditions which prevail there
are similar to those which preceded
the Boxer upriXng. 1t must be hoped
however that the outcome may not be
the same. The detachment of troops
was not sent TO China. but to the Phil
ippines.''

KAPlOLANI PARK
APPROPRIATIONS
ARE NOT LEGAL
County Attorney Douthitt Forecasts the Opinion
he Has Been Requested by Supervisor
Adams to Furnish.

One OF the argumentS-a sort of ad
captandurn one-which has been heard
why the county should relieve the
straitened circumstances of the schools
is that the Board of Supervisors has
voted money for the benefit of Kapio-
lani Park.
According to present impressions of
County Attorney E. a. Douthitt, which
are likely soon to crystalline into his
official opinion in writing, the county
has no authority for expending money
on Kapiolani Park. Mr.. Douthitt was
seen yesterday by an Advertiser rep
resentative and expressed himself as
follows on the subject:
supervisor Adams has made a re-
quest upon me to give an opinion to
the Board of Supervisors upon appro-
prfations for Kapiolani Park, that is
as TO their validity.
1T seems to me that the matter Is
on a par with the school proposition
and although I have not gone into
it yet, my ideas and impressions are
inclined to the view that there IS no
more authority for the county's inter-
yention in one case than in the other.
Had they asked me for an opinion be-
fore acting, this is probably what l
should have given.
Il did not wish to give an opinion
in either case, because both objects

marks controlled by the Honolulu Park
Commission are on par with schools
controlled by the Board of Education.
That is the way the matter strikes me
now.
.sI thoroughly realize the fact that
the appropriations made by the Lesls-
lature are not adequate for the sehools.

DUPLEX THE
WHOLE LINE
Gable From Honolulu
to Midway Is
Next.

In a short time instruments will be
received by the local cable people for
converting the cable line between Ho-
nolulu and Midway into what is known
as the duplex system, which now pre-
walls between Honolulu and San Fran
cisco.
BY the duplex system messages can
be sent and received at the same sta
tion over the single cable strand be-
tween two points, thus giving the sys-
tenn an advantage of one hundred per
cent.
The plan of the cable company is TO
make duplex system out of the whole
Pacific Ocean division. In time the du-
plex system viii be adjusted to the
strand between Midway and Guam and
thence to Japan and Shanghai.

SAM JONES
MAY COME
TO Stir Up Religious
Work and Workers
in Honolulu

Sam Jones, the revivalist. will soon
be in Honolulu to conduct a series OF
meetings, if the work being done by
l. McKesson, a personal friend of his
to that end brings the hoped-for re-
suit.
"A man like Sam Jones is wanted
here" said Mr.. McKesson yesterday.
Someone who would knock the under
pinning OF cOnventionality out from
under the varying church organiza-
tionS and set them all thinking and
working along one line. l would like
to have him come here endorsed by
all the different churches if possible,
but to come anyway
CHURCHES BEHINDHAND.
Methods that any up-to-date busi-
private affairs are in use by most OF
the churches, said L. McKesson at the
afternoon meeting of the Y. NJ C. A.
yesterday, addressing a larger meet
ing than has been held there for some
weeks. The churches must be modern
and Christian workers wide awake to
do their appointed work and the an
nounced purpose of the speaker was to
provoke the young men to action" a
poWerless Christian was as much q
misnomer as a forceless thunderbolt
and it was in the power of every
worker to do some good. Basing his
remarks upon the miraculous draught
of fishes, he wanted to know what his
hearers were catching. wnat the
churches were catching? There were
fish in every creek and if the catch was
proving a failure there should be a
shifting of position or change of
bait.
In the morning the Y. NJ C. A. work
ers held their regular meetings at the
Rapid Transit mems clubhouse, where
services Were conducted by Mr.. Nc
kesson. and at the Jail, with c. J.

DEATH OF MRS. HOWELL.
Colored Woman for Whom Funeral
ARRANGEMENTS Were Made July z.

The funeral of Mrs Hercules ]. Howell,
cciored of 1921 10th street northwest, who
died of cancer yesterday morning a little
before 6 o'clock, win occur tomorrow after
neon at 2 o'clock. Rev. DR.. Davenport OF
Union Wesley African Methodist Episcopal
Lutheran Church, on 23d and l. streets
northwest will officiate. Intsrment Will be
at Harmony cemetery. The pallbearers, all
women. will be chosen tomorrow from the
Wcman's Progressive Immediate Relief AS
ISOLATION, which Mrs. Howell organized,
and which numbers over 400 members. The
fureral arrangements are in charge of the
Galilean Fishermen, a colored secret soci-
ETY.. Representatives from the three de-
partments of the Ancient United Order of
Moses and OF the Household of Ruth Will
also be present at the funeral
Mrs. Howell, who was forty-four years or
age leaves her husband, Hercules j. How
ell: one daughter, Beatrice Howell, and
three sons, Horace Howell, Louis Howell
and Victor Howell.
A strange feature of Mrs. Howells death
was that a physician had stated, July
last, that she had but several moments to
live Shortly afterward, she closed her
eyes and to all appearances was dead. Her
death was announced, and partial arrange
ments were made for her funeral but the
next day, which was Sunday, she entered
the Union Wesley A. NJ. E. 2. Church, and
walked down the aisle to seat In her pew,
causing great CONSERVATION among the
worshipers.
The story OF her recovery went the
rounds of the assembly, and shortly after
Mrs. Howell entered the church several
persons left. and before much time had
elapsed the greater part of the colored pop
ulation in the vicinity of Dupont Circle was
aware that something in the nature of
resurrection had occurred at the Howell
home Mrs. Howell, it is said, had been
unable to go to church, or, in fact leave
the house for months before, and her sud
der appearance among the worshipers,
where she had once been prominent, was
naturally dsqueting circumstance.
Mr.. Howell. at the time, said that about
three hours after his wife had apparently
died she revived, and declared she had
had vision, in which 1t was made clear
to her that her supposed death was the
work of the evil spirit.
Later in the morning she got up and
moved about the house, something she had
been unable to do in months. A carriage
was procured for her and she rode to
church, and afterward visited relatives, re-
turning to her home about 8 o'clock in the
evening. Throughout that day she seemed
to be able to go about comfortably, but
late In the evening she lapsed into uncon-
seriousness.
She recovered soon after and had rested
we'll. with the exception OF feeling tired
occasionally, up to the time of her death.

The attendance yesterday afternoon at

as In the morning or on the previous day,
owing to the fact that great many OF
the delegates and visitors took ride on

and others visited the different government
buildings.

considerable applause when he said that
the time limit placed on the tenure OF pas
toral charges must be removed In order to
accomplish the best results, and that while
the church should be broad and lenient In

Mass, spoke on '"rhe Need of Reform In
the Administration of Church Affairs He
said It Is the duty of church member to
go to church not to enjoy the music to
vie in dressing. nor even to enjoy the ser
mon, but to worship. He deplored emotion
alism in religion. declaring that the best
and most lasting religion Is that which Is
not marked by blatant demonstration. but
that which is exercised in daily life. He
then spoke of the stereotyped prayers, and
said: How tired we become of continually
hearing a preacher reel of a dozen stereo-
typed phrases. Again and again he will re-
peat. Go where we will, we hear the same
old petitions in the same old way.
I'm sure God dislikes it; certainly it is
wearisome to congregation of hearers
Then there Is need of reform in preaching
That preacher who gets up and breaches
because he can preach or who breaches
just for the pleasure of tickling the emo
tons is untrue to his congregation. He
should be earnest sincere and anxious
only to send them the message of the gos-
pel.'
