D0UTHITrS OPINION
is INCONCLUSIVE

Editor Advertiser: The opinion of
Mr., Douthitt, the County Attorney, on
the use of county funds for school pur.
poses is interesting and in its state
ment of law accurate, but inconclusive.
IL overlooks the fact which Mr.. Girvin
has permanently called attention to in
the Advertiser, that the opening sen.
tence of Act 80 providing funds for
the expenses of the county provides,
"Seetion /. Fifty percentum of the
total amount of poll and school taxes
and taxes on property and income col
lected in each county shall be paid by
the Treasurer of the Territory of Ha-
wall to the Treasurer of the county in
the following manner"

unknown DEAD MAN
FOUND ON kauai

While c. Otholt, who Is tending that
part of the Koloa Sugar Co.'S ditch
that crosses the Short Cut Road, was
taking his lunch in the shade OF the
bushes along the road last Friday, he
noticed a red spot further in among
the trees. He tried in vain to make
out what 1t could be, but could not
from the distance make out whether 1t
was a rotting stump of lauhala or a
piece of cloth. Being curious to de-
termine what it could be that had
attracted his attention, he made his
way through the bushes and found
to his surprise the body of a man
hung to piece of red CLOTH
The boy Immediately notified his
father, who sent him to the police
with the information. The Deputy
Sheriff summoned coroner's jury
which held an inquest the same day
and rendered the verdict that the de-
ceased had come to his death by sui
eide.
The body was altogether decomposed,
so an identification of 1t was out OF
question. From the state in which it
was found, 1t had probably been hang
ing there from two or three months
Judging from the clothes it was
thought that the deceased had been a
Porto Rican, but as far as is known
nobody of that nationality is missing
from the neighboring plantations Ko-
loa and Lihue.

all but may have come up from one

DIR. NOBLE PRESENT.
Or. Emily Noble was present at the
meeting. She made a proposition to
the committee that she be given as
sistance in the preparation of a Ha-
waiian lecture to be delivered on the
mainland. She asked for colored
slides. She stated she had the entree
to women's clubs all over the United
States, and any hotel parlor would be
open to her to give lectures. She stat
ed that she lectured before the wealthy
classes. and once gave a lecture at
the home of George Gould She had
come here originally toacollect folk

her magazine writing by lecturing on
the islands.
The committee endorsed the Para

almost exclusively to the Floral

WORK FOR :
HAWA||ANS

plan is on foot to go very largely
into the manufacture of Hawaiian hats
for the export trade.
For years the need of a distinctively
Hawaiian industry which would be
adapted to the natural talents of the
Hawaiians has been felt Work to
which the natives of these islands
would be attracted, and which would
employ them along the lines especially
suitable, Is suggested by the skill
shown by them in the weaving of ar
tistic braids and woven hats.
The Hawaiian men and women need
and want work. AS with every other
race, the employment must be such
as can best bring out the proper re-
suits necessary for the establishing on
paying basis of permanent indus
try.
A shoe factory was to have been
started here by philanthropic gen.
tleman some time ago. All of the
labor was. to have been Haw@ian. II
was given UP because the attempt to
force Hawaiian energy along lines for
eign to the native temperament stood
In the way. The present experiment
designs are being turned out, has yet
to prove itself success such as is de-
manded for national enterprise.
Weaving is distinctively a Hawaiian
art The working processes of the
materials and designs have been hand
ed down by generations of weavers.
1t can not be said truthfully that the
Hawaiian will not work hard. 1t is
true that the native does not take
readily to many of the openings af-
forded. The average American woman
would consider 1t very hard work in
deed to do what the natives accom-
plish in the preparation of materials
and the weaving of the same into
hats.
Up to the present the weavers have
been at the disadvantage of not being
able to strike the popular fancy very
Often When their work has to wait
for a customer very long, they tire of
trying to please. To work in haste is
against their ideas, and so quick or
ders are unsatisfactory to both weaver
and buyer.

of steady work, good clean work.

be cared for during work hours, the
best Of materials, good food at noon
day and ready cash for all work COM
pleted at the end of a five-day week,
make up the solution of late investi-
cation into the subject.
Some of Honolulu's best representa-
tive business men are interested in
the future welfare of the Hawaiians
as race, and an effort is being made
to develop and organize their latent
talent and convert them to practical
commercial purposes, thus furnishing
the means of placing hundreds of in
digent families in a prosperous and
self-respecting condition.
A national pride is growing, educa-
ton and all the advantages afforded
during the past fifty years have chang
ed the Hawaiians, and no doubt they
Will rise to the occasion, especially the
younger generation, with awakened
ambition.
To the few already interested, the

necessary rules and regulations has

No definite action was taken yester-
day looking to settlement of the
question of where money is to come
from to run the schools-and keep the
janitors employed as well as the teach
ers The matter received considera-
ton at the hands of Acting Governor
Atkinson, of course, but so far he has
not announced any line of action cal
culated to relieve the situation. 1t was
said in one of the afternoon papers
yesterday that the Acting Governor
had been in consultation with Auditor
Fisher relative to the situation, but
this must have been a mistake be-
cause, although Governor Atkinson did
consult with the Auditor, according to
Fisher it was not relative to school
matters.

A PECULIAR CONDITION.
However, as the Acting Governor has
the thing in his hands, some definite
action to relieve the situation may be
looked for very shortly. The Acting
Governor is man who does things.
There are several funds in the Treas
ury that promise surplus this year,
but whether any of the money thus
accrued can be diverted to school pur-
poses is matter for serious considera-
ton. The point most discussed yes
terday by those interested in the thing
and that means almost everybody
was the diversion of the school funds
by the County Act, and the impossible
ity of getting this fund back to the
schools, according to the opinion of

Secretary Wood called attention to
the visit of the Oregon girls and their

that everything that could be done

tee, and he recommended them most
highly. stating that they were repre-
sentative of the State of Oregon's
womanhood. Mr.. Wood said that when
Tom Richardson made a statement 1t
was to be believed.
He suggested that 1t would be a
pretty compliment for the Promotion
Committee to tender the Oregon girls
a dinner on their return from the vol
cano. The members thought this
wise suggestion and adopted it with
enthusiasm. The dinner will be serv-
ed at the Moana Hotel and aside from
the Oregon girls the other guests will
be members of the Promotion Com
mittee and the Press.
Mr.. Wood also spoke highly OF Mrs.
Weatherred. the chaperon OF the party.

all over the United States, and she
was member OF most OF the press
