JOHNSON
AMUSED

Frank johnson distinctly grinned
yesterday in court where he is on
trial for his life. 1t was when Mrs.
Kentwell testified of his superior jig
dancing. A smile escaped from him
which crinkled his facial muscles
around to the back of his neck.
After the conclusion of the cross
examination of Henry Wharton, faith
er of the slain child, Mrs. Annie X.
Kentwell was called by the defense
and after she was released two Por-
tuguese, Joe Souza and Manuel Fer
nandez, who knew the defendant gave
their evidence.
Wharton's testimony was to the ef-
feet that Johnson always knew and
did what he was told though he en-
tlrely lacked education, being unable
even to write his name.
Mrs. Kentwell, when asked direct

thereafter
Mrs. Kentwell had always been will
ing to trust the children with John

him toward them that caused his loss
of employment at their place. This
was In September last. Her three
children, the eldest under four years
of age, came from the stable and told
her that Johnson had been threaten
ing to beat them with a stick. Mr..
Kentwell, being telephoned for. came
home and ordered Johnson to his room.
A week later he went to Waialua and
got work from Wharton together with
a home.

FOREST RESERVE

Acting Governor Atkinson presided
at II public hearing at the Bureau of
Agriculture and Forestry yesterday
afternoon at 2 o'clock to discuss the
proposition of setting apart the Ho-
naula, North Kona, forest reserve. This
tract lies on the western slope OF Hua-
lalai and there is an area of 665 acres
II is covered with heavy koa forest
which may one day be merchantable-
The land was formerly part of lease
to Henriques and Comes, who got the
whole of this land under lease at the
end of Governor Dole's administration
When the present administration came
In, Land Commissioner Pratt left the
matter of a forest reserve of this land
to the Board of Agriculture and For
estry and asked the Boards pleasure
The Board recommended that the
whole land should be set apart as a
reserve and the lease not granted. The
Attorney General ruled that the lease
had to be delivered, they having in
good faith done what was required of
them in perfecting the lease.
y Then Superintendent Hosmer of the
Forestry Department arranged with
Commissioner Pratt to get some of the
land by cutting out part of IL and
making a pro rata reduction In the
rental. This was effected last winter.
and by action of the Acting Governor
yesterday is now declared forest re-
serve.
The trees on this tract are second in
size only to those on the Bishop Es-
tate land at Keauhou, back OF the
Volcano. House.

WORKING ON
AGREEMENT
(From Thursdays Advertiser.)

Yesterday Acting Governor Atkinson
had a session with Chairman Giffard
of the Planters Committee and 1mmi-
grafton Commissioner j. b. Cooke for
the further consideration of the plant
ers' agreement to give an acre of lana
to intending laborers to be secured for
the plantations from Europe and the
Azores by Commissioner Stackable.
This contract or agreement was sub
mitted to the Immigration Commits
sion at its session on Tuesday after
noon, hut was not then and is not
now in such shape that 1t is deemed
advisable to give It out. II is to be
a uniform agreement. signed by repre-
sentatives of all the plantations. and
it Is pretty well understood that this
into II. The desire is that each la
borer who comes to the islands shall
be given not less than one acre of land
for his houselot in fee simple. Indeed,
it is pretty well understood that this
must be done. The negotiations now
are to smooth away certain inequali-
ties, to the end that when Stackabe
starts upon his mission he will have
something definite to work upon. Ana
in fair way to be accomplished.
Commissioner Stackable declined to
talk yesterday concerning his mission,
and of course not even the Board of
Immigration knows yet when he will
be able to start for Europe and the
Azores II is understood, however,
that he will only remain away for
four or five months, at the most, his
leave of absence running only for that
length of time, and that he VIII be
accompanied by an assistant who Will
remain on the ground when he starts
for home and actually all the laborers
started to Hawaii This assistant is
probably selected, but the selection is
subject to Stackables approval and
the name will not be announced yet.
1t was said at the meeting of the
Board of immigration that Commits
sioner Sargent had recommended n
New York man for the place. The
good word of Sargent should go long
way in this appointment.
In the meantime, while the terms
of the planters agreement are under
discussion, it is well to bear in mind
that the Government of Hawaii is Of
pretty 10 stlll'iS'
bona fide settlers. that is. Twenty
five acres of the best cane land in
the Territory, the very best. was the
award to tie members of the Portu-
guese Hilo Settlement Association,
with two acres in addition for house
lots and several acres for pasture. And
when pineapple or pasture lands are
opened, the allotments are much
larger, as witness the Paumule t.cct
opening on Oahu not long ago.
Altogether, it may be stated with
truth that the Territory has now got
pretty well started on the way to
Americanization. The days of the
baronial system are numbered They
have to be. The Territorial admins
trPtion has the national administra-
tibn behind it in its policy-which pol
icy has now been thoroughly and most
illuminatingly defined

BATTLEsHIP FOR CHINA.

WASHINGTON, March 25.-Word
reached the Navy Department today
that the battleship Ohio, the flag
ship of Rear-Admiral Charles j.
Train, had left Manila for Shanghai.
1t is supposed that the Admiral is
aboard the ship, though the dispatch
to the department does not indicate
whether he is or not. The battleship
Wisconsin, which also has been sta
toned at Manila, preceded the Ohio
to, Shanghai by one day. These move
ments, the officials of the Navigation
Bureau say, We're not ordered by the
department, being probably incidental
toi the approach of warm weather,
whose influence is beginning to be felt
in the Philippines.

THE SHIP SUBSIDY.

The shipping subvention bill, which
is of wide interest, extending to peo-

is probably showed under for this SEES
sion. Great pressure is being brought
to bear upon Speaker Cannon but he is
determined that the bill shall not be
pushed too fast, which means that it is
not likely to be pushed fast enough to
get through before the session ends
The hearings on the bill have been ar
ranged to begin April 4. II is not ex-
pected that eastern shipowners will
care to testify further, MS they were
heard before the general Merchant Ma
rine Commission. But it is expected
that western manufacturers will want
a hearing and the intention is 10 give
them chance, Foreign shipowners,
who are opposing the bill, will also
want 10 be- heard before any attempt
is made to report II 10 the House.
