On ROAD To
PROSPERITY
Philippines Are Now at
the Turning
Point.

THE Philippines are at the turning
point. and in my opinion they Will
now progress and be prosperous
Hon. w. Cameron Forbes, member
of the Philippines Commission, who is
through passenger on the Mongolia
Philippines. Although there have been
financial disasters and many other
things to hold progress back. such as
cholera, plague, etc, Mr. Forbes be-
lieves that is all a matter of the past
and the islands will now move up.
Mr.. Forbes went to Washington re-
Gently 10 be present at the opening of
bids for railway concessions in the
Philippines. The government is anx-
ious to have railways bisect the is
lands and are inviting capital for their
development While all the bids that
were expected did not materialize, yet
Mr.. Forbes says there is a good start.
AS to the bill before Congress for
the tariff on sugar and to-
Gdcco, as wen as otneF general COM
Mr.. Forbes said the measure
passed the House and was now in the
Senate. He hoped that the upper body
would take the same action as did the
House. The reduction of tariff, if the
bill passes, takes place in three years.

Secretary Atkinson was on the dock |
when the Mongolia passed in and Mr..
Forbes, to whom the Governor called, |
was surprised to find that official in |
Honolulu.

was in Washington he said.

While the customs and immigration

about near the Mongolia outside the
channel yesterday afternoon, the shout
went uo:

True enough, big f1uked tail swish

the whale rose to the surface again
and sent up a cloud of spray, possibly
ten or twelve feet high. This perform
ance was repeated several times the
last being about leo feet off the port
bow of the Mongolia.
The appearance of the whale caused
considerable excitement among the pas
sengers. 1t is not often that a spout

f1ukes measuring ten to twelve feet

The CRAZE
HAS COME
A Roller Skating Rink
viii Open March
Third.

1t has been long time coming
many have thought, but it has arrived.
At least the preliminaries have been
arranged for inaugurating the "roller
skating craze in Honolulu.
The Honolulu Skating Rink Com
pany has been organized by number
of young men, of whom Clifford Kim
bali is the business representative. A
skating boom has been in the air for
some time and this enterprise is its
elimination.
Having taken the Union Feed Co. s
old warehouse at Queen and Edin-
burgh streets for rink, the company
will open it to the public on Saturday
evening, March 3. Lumber is already
on the ground for the skating floor. a
supply of skates is on the way. They
are of steel with ball bearings-in fact
the type of skate in use on the Coast
and in the roller skating rinks of New
York and Boston. On the mauka side
of the building the walls are to be
opened up for admitting the cool
breezes. This will make for comfort
in the exhilarating sport. A lean-to on
the Waikiki side will be fitted up as a
grandstand for spectators. There is
also to be sodawater booth on the
premises, but no spirituous, malt or
vinous liquor will be sold Are lights
will be installed, which will make the
rink always brilliant.
Of course an admission fee will be
charged, as well as a skating fee. The
rink will be run on a frst-class basis.
IN charge of competent man. 1t is
believed by the promoters that the
time for starting such a place of amuse
ment is opportune. For long period
there has been dearth of popular en-
tertainment other than theatricals anu
field sports.
To the younger generation of Homo
lulu folks-up to twenty-five years of
age-skating will be an absolute nov
city, for it is twenty years since the
previous vogue of that amusement |
here. And there is undoubtedly a !
larger population of those hankering
after that class of diversion, combining !
exercise with rollicking fun, in Homo |
lulu now than then.
The craze will be a pastime, more |
over, for many onlookers of the large
class who take enjoyment from seeing |
others making joyful. At suitable in
tervals there viii be masked or fancy |
dress carnivals held for the jollifca- |
ton of the town. In the former craze |!
these were highly successful features.
No doubt Bandmaster Berger will meet
the craze halfway and be prepared with
special stunts of music for gala occa-
sions

FROM
THESE ISLANDS

NEW YORK, February 5.-A COM
plaint of abduction arising out of litiga-
ton over an estate abroad has been
made to the New York police against
a member of the Westchester Country
Club, and an investigation is in prog
ress.
Little definite about the case is al
lowed to come out here. but as nearly
as can be learned the daughter of an
English family. said to be noble, dis
from Honolulu several years
ago, has finally succeeded in commun-
icating with her relatives from a sani-
tarium in this county. She was born.
it is said, in Paris. and is 81 years of
age. Upon learning her whereabouts
her relatives communicated with the
police here. A French Countess is said
to figure in the case in some way.
1t was learned yesterday that de-
tective had visited a police court on
and had been looking at
the Country Club for the man COM
planned Of but without finding him.
The man wanted. it was said. had
been at the Waldorf-Astoria within
he past few weeks.

SAYS YOUNG SET
A BAD EXAMPLE

WASHINGTON. February AL
though not sentenced to a public rep
rimand, there was made public today
the reprimand addressed by Secretary
Bonaparte to Commander Lucien
Young, who was in command of the
Bennington when one of the boilers
exploded in San Diego harbor last
summer. Commander Young was tried
by court-martial and convicted of re-
missness of duty, in that he had failed
TO sign the smooth steam log of the
Bennington
After quoting a portion of the Navy
regulations outlining the duties of a
officer the Secretary
says:
These duties include the obliga-
tions of good example to all subject
to his authority. These responsibilities
incur share in the blame incurred by
any among the latter. who may be led
to think lightly of their own duties
because they seem to think lightly of
his
In your case. sir, there was the
greater reason why you should have
been careful to comply, in letter and
spirit, with every provision of the
equations, because your brilliant |
services in the past and your merited !
equation for seamanship and GAL |
antry would surely render failure on /
your part to do all that an officer |
should do the most subversive of true |
principles of discipline among the |
younger members of your profession.
A bad example upon the part of |
ne of your previous record is excep-
ionaIly injurious to the vital inter-
sts of the service, and it is, there

our duty on your part should have

JAPS AND
CITIZENSHIP
Two Boys Get Certif;-
Gates of Hawaiian
Birth.

Have the Japanese IF Hawaiian
| birth decided to assert their right TO
| citizenship
The first application for a certificate
| of Hawaiian birth in behalf of a Jap
| anese child has L, en- made to the Sec
retary's office, and th9 certificate has
issued. In fact, there ARE two apllica-
tie ns. and the two certificates have is
sued. The applications are made by
Frank j. Sakamaki, of Hilo, and they
are made in behalf of his two sons,
Fukuo Sakamaki and George Saka-
maxi, one six years old and the ether
three. both of whom were born in the
Island of Hawaii. The proper proyf
accompanies the application for the
certificates
There is much more in this than APP
pears on the surface, very probably.
The last Legislature, it will be remem-
bcred, passed law providing f,r the
issuance by the Secretary of certif-
Gates of Hawaiian birth to all persons
who could establish the fact that they
had been born in these Islands, upon
the payment of fee of $3.50 for each
such certificate issued. There has been
a great demand for these certificates,
especially among Chinese, to whom
they might become of the last import
ance in the matter of getting bv the
barrier of the Exclusion Act, but that
was not exactly the idea of the legis-
lators in passing the law, as is proved
by the following extract from the law
itself:
"Any certificate of Hawaiian birth
issued in conformity with the prcvi- |
sions hereof, shall he deemed and held
prina facie evidence of the facts here /
in stated, before any registration or
election board, and in all the courts of
the Territory.
Now, of. course. the action of the |
Secretary in issuing certificates of Ha /
waiian birth to the two little japanese
boys-who are both fine, sturdy looking
chaps, according to their photographs
which accompany the applications-t
does not of itself constitute naturaliza-
ton, but it may be interesting to spec
ulate upon whether it will not of itself |
form a large part of the act of the
of the boys. The law in
question very clearly, from its wording
was intended to have a bearing upon
the constitution of the electorate Is
the act of Sakamaki in calling its aid
to his sons the first indication of the
purpose among the japanese to share
in the electorate?
