which he wants to carry out and he
has made many suggestions which the
committee have used as their own
without giving the Governor any cred

Works Holloway had also been very
great help. Secretary Atkinson has
taken the initiative in number of
things. He has especially been re-
sponsible for the Fairgrounds for the
poor and for the small parks. Super
visor Lucas has assisted, particularly
in securing from the Supervisors the
call to Mr.. Robinson, the park expert
who will be here on the 18th of Feb

to assist Mr.. Robinson as far as pos
sible. !.
@'Of those other than officials. the
Civic Federation mas done good work.
They have special committee for the
purpose. Just at the present time the
Promotion Committee is taking great
interest so as to have a place that will
attract tourists and also cause the
tourist who comes here to become an
advertising medium for the city when
he returns home.
But the people who live in Homo
=.
tiful city to live in for their own benefit.
There is whel the greatest interest
should center. Our city should not
only be beautiful to the eye but also
to the nose. The city should be kept
cleaned up and in good sanitary con-
dition.
There are three classes of people
who are Interested First those who
live in the better parts of town. They
can improve their own places. Second
those who live in the slums. They
will have to have help. They can do
little more than contribute of their
own work. Where money is needed,
it will have to be raised outside those
sections-such places as Kakaako. Mo-
1l1ili and Liliha street. Think, for in
stance, what an Improvement it would
be to have Liliha street made pre-
sentable.
THE third class of Improvement is
general, such as parks. lights, poles,
etc The Promotion Committee has
divided the town into small sections
and named one or more people to look
after their part of the city. For this
work there can be no general rules
laid down for what is needed in one
section is not what is needed in an
other. Some of the sections. like Pa
lolo. Waialae and Kaimuki, have their
own Improvement associations which
are doing good work.
The botany and what might be call
ed the plantology' of a section is to
be considered. What would grow we'll
in one place would not grow in an
other. possibly, on account of the
wind, or some other reason. The local
Improvement clubs will find plenty to
do. The scheme which is most in favor
now is not to plant all of one kind Of
-rees along any one street, but to vary,
say every 1000 or 1900 feet. with an
other kind. 1t has been recommended
to plant golden showers on Pensa-
cola street and on certain parts OF

THE BOOTBLACKS' UNION
HOLDS LIVELY MEETING

professor Hoffman" has resigned
And thereby hangs a tale. Professor
/ Hoffman is not an educator in the
usual sense Of the word. He does not
hold a chair in any university. But
he is or at least was a member of the
bootblacks' union. Last night he de-
manded his money back and as he did
not get it he resigned.
It happened this way. The boot
blacks committee on bylaws had re-
ported about forty Of them which were
tconsidered in" good parliamentary form
and adopted or rejected as the meet
allowed any boy who is over thirteen
to Join. Professor Hoffman object
ed. So did others. A rough house was
promised for a while. A boy of about
fifteen got the floor and having told
the president that he wanted to talk
ne held forth in great style on the
rights of every man to earn his 1iv-
ing. Some favored admitting only those
over fifteen, but Joe Everett said that
there We're school police to see that
he did not play hockey if he was
still under the compulsory education
age and the union had nothing to do
with it. Somebody else suggested that
it was not really union unless they
took in everybody. This was met with !
applause and cries of "sure kela.''
Another suggested that in San Fran |
cisco the age limit was fifteen. Again |
came out the argument used before /,
that this is no San Francisco. II am
in favor" said Joe Everett, that ev-
cry kid that don't want to be a scab
and wants to put the price up to ten
cents shall be omitted to this union"
That was the general sentiment and
which resulted in sustaining the I'M
lucky thirteen proposition and then
Professor Hoffman" a Portuguese boy
who has had a great deal to say, de-
was going to quit. well, good night
said Everett. But Hoffman was not
to be squelched. He demanded a vote
as to whether he was TO be fired with
1ut getting his money back ooh, you
are under thirteen said Everett;
You talk like a baby under ten You
have already voted in favor of a by
law that if any member wants to re-
sign he must have reasons We'll,
have got reasons" urged the PRO
lessor" but the crowd sat down on him
and he finally left, minus his coin
Among the bylaws adopted was one
providing that every member must
have a badge and unless he displayed
it he could not get a job. This was up
roariously adopted. Somebody sug-:
gested that they did not want any
cheap brass badge but a silver one

oh you got TO go according to your
pocket, bub,' said mentor Everett.
Another bylaw provides that every
member out of a job must report to
the society. The secrets of the
union" are to be as sacredly KEEP by
its members as are those of the Cham
Der Of Commerce by its membership.
Put in one what says that we want
a white man and not a COON" chimed
in Professor Hoffman" who had come
back after his quarter initiation fee
This was directed at Everett. but he
passed it by with stolid indifference.
1t is decreed that there must be an
annual holiday solely for the benefit
of the bootblacks Labor day vas not
the proper caper, for they had already
adopted a bylaw which would require
their bosses TO give them a half holiday
every American legal holiday This
was extra and, as might nave been
expected it was proposed by n Hawai-
ian member of the bylaws committee.
December 18th was fixed on as the
proper day when all the bootblacks

The president is required &c sign ev-
cry order on the treasurer for the pay

amendment which went through with
a whoop.
The dues are fifty cents a quarter
and failure to pay for three months

shines for five cents will be found

the rules 1t is proposed that the gov
eminent also assist. Just how. was
not developed.
1t is said there are about two hun |
dred and fifty bootblacks in Honolulu |
and there We're fully thirty of them |
there last night and coin was rolling |
into the treasury. The President was |
called upon for a speech but he |
promptly queered himself. He start |
ed with the sage remark Boys, we |
got bylaws all 'wroten." Such |
a grammatical error was too much for |
Professor Hoffman and he snickered. |
The president got ratified, caught stage |
fright and the boys began to file out.
Talk Hawaiian demanded a Poly |
nesian member. What is the use of |
alking when the boys are going home,''
said the President whose dignity by
that time was injured beyond repair.
And no amount of persuasion could |
get him to spiel.
Next Monday the first regular seS-
sion begins. Meantime the price of a
shine has gone up from five cents to
ten, for the bylaws say mo member
may shine for five cents, not even the
Governor" So if Governor Carter
wants to shine he must charge ten
cents or be called a ''scab."
The onerous duties devolving upon
Joe Everett of being secretary, chief

pointed to the job without extra COM

Wilder avenue to plant Poinciana Re-
gias.
The improvement of the hills back
of the town is another item. Suppose
that Punchbowl hill were planted with
Crotons or some other flower what a
beautiful sight it would be. Then
comes the question of street signs
and bilIboards Of course, you are
aware that it has been found that
there is now no law to prevent the
construction of biIlboards.
I'VE must also look out for insight
Iy poles on the streets. / counted for
about 800 feet on one street in the
city and found twenty-five poles on
one side of the street and then al
most as many more on the other side
of the same street That is about one
pole to every ten or fifteen feet. There
is only one thing that can be done now
in the matter of the poles. That is to
get the various companies to use the
same pole.
In one city that / know of there
was a provision in the franchise of
the companies that at the demand of
the Mayor of the city all the wires
must be put under the ground in con-
Quits. But there was no provision for
placing all the wires on one pole. The
companies refused the request of the
Mayor to place them on one pole until
he told them that they must do that
or else he would require them to go to
a much greater expense and put them
in conduits. So they agreed to the
one pole proposition.
I'm such narrow streets as Fort
street, the poles could be done away
with altogether and the wires support
ed on brackets attached to the sides
of the buildings. This would look
much better and remove the danger to
pedestrians and those driving from
collision with the poles.
There is also a great difference in
poles. There is as much difference be-
tween some of the poles that are used
in the mainland cities and the ordinary
pole as there is between the lamp
posts in front of the Young Hotel and
the ordinary lamp post. One is artis-
tic and thing of beauty. The other
is repulsive and worse. An arrange
ment might be made between the COM
panies using the poles by which the
unnecessary poles could come down
and all the wires be strung on one set.
There are places in this city now
where the Rapid Transit are using the
poles of the Hawaiian Electric Co. and
others where the Hawaiian Electric
Co. are using the poles of the Rapid
Transit
In some cities, like Hartford, all
the wires except those carrying high
tension cements are carried on one
pole. In other cities, like Paris. all
the wires are strung on one set of
poles whose arms taper off like a tree
and the heavy voltage wires are car
ried at the top so that if a lighter
wire should break it will not fall on
one of a heavier current. Again in
Cologne and other cities noted for their
beautiful buildings. no poles are al
lowed at all and the wires are carried
on brackets attached to the sides of
the buildings.
Il hope that all of US will do all we
can. first to improve our own section
of the city and will not stop there but
assist in the Improvement of the other

indications point more and more to
the postponement of the threatened
general strike until the government
shall be less and the country more
prepared for such an event; until the
harvest is finished and the revolu-
tionary movement develops spontan-
eously among the idle peasantry.
What news has been received from
the provinces today indicates that con-
ditions are scarcely ripe, except in
the famine districts, for an upheaval.
The strategists of the revolutionary
council are laboring with the hot
heads to induce them to defer the
cali for a general strike until 1t can
come as supplement to the move
ment already under way. A definite
decision will be reached within day
or two in the recognized council of
workmen.
Kharkov-The staff correspondent
here Of the Associated Press finds
that the revolutionists are actively
preparing for an armed uprising and
proclamation of the republic of
Kharkoy in the autumn. 1t was de-
termined in the meantime to avoid
conflicts with the authorities. The

NO CELL FOR OIL MEN
Government to Abandon Plan to Sc
cure Prison Sentences

A special to the Chicago Record
Herald dated Cleveland, July "a,
follows:
Fines instead of Imprisonment will
be the punishment asked by the Uni
ted States government for those found
guilty of lawbreaking in connection
with the oil industry.
1t was learned on excellent author
lily today that the proceedings soon
to be instituted in Chicago in eonnec-
ton with the federal inquiry will class
the offenses as misdemeanors instead
of felonies. Fine and imprisonment,
Or both, attend conviction on the lat
ter charge, while a fine alone Is the
punishment for the former
This decision, it is learned on the
same authority, will do away with any
grand jury inquiry in Chicago. In
stead the district attorney of North
ern Illinois, If present plans are adj
hered to, will simply file informa-
tion,' in legal parlance, against the
accused men or concerns. They will
then be hailed into court as in an or
binary civil case, and il the trial
results in their conviction they will
be fined within the limits prescribed
by the statutes of the United States

HOPES SOON FOR CANCER CURE
Scientist Goes Far Toward Solving
Problem of the Disease

London-As the results of the in
oculation of one hundred thousand
mice, scientists, it is said, are now
able to produce at will in mice all
the features of spontaneous cancer
and to protect healthy mice from all
the consequences of inoculating them
with experimental cancer.
This having been achieved Dr.
Bashford, who has conducted the ex-
periments, adds that it is not too
much to hope that further develop
ments of experimental study of can
Ger will yield results having direct
bearing On the nature and treatment
of the disease.
After repeated failures during thir-
ty years, the imperial cancer research
has been able to obtain offspring
from mice suffering naturally from
the disease, and in the near future
it may in consequence be possible
to conclude whether cancer in man
is or is not hereditary

LAWYERS FOR CHINESE
Awakening Seen in Steps Taken to
Revolutionize LEGAL Procedure

An Associated Press dispatch dat
ed Washington, July % says
Marked evidence of the reform
which is sweeping China can be seen
in recommendation of commission
ers named by the government to re
wise the code governing Chinese legal
procedure which was recently submit
tel to the empress dowager and en-
peror. Two revolutionary changes
have been suggested right of
trial by jury and the employment OF
attorneys for the defense of criminals.
Never in the history of China has
the practice of law been recognized
as reputable profession The study
of law has been frowned upon from
time immemorial, and only recently
have attorneys been permitted to ar
que cases in courts, and this permits
sion has been limited to courts in
coast cities where foreigners reside
Japan's action in bringing it's legal
procedure into harmony with the
European court methods has induced
the Chinese commissioners to sug
gest the abolition of the present an
tiIue methods of that empire for the
methods in vogue among all western
nations
AS the changes suggested, if put in
to effect, would necessitate the en-
ployment of hundreds of lawyers
throughout the provinces, the COM
missioners recommend that hence
forth in each of the provincial schools
students of good character, serious
minded and well versed in the law"
shall be selected for training as at
torneys.

Panama. -Henceforth the Panama
canal commission will pay all labor
ers in silver. 1t seems that simultan-
eously with the previous decision to
pay the men in gold the mortality

it that in many instances the negroes
have preferred practically to starve
rather than to spend the gold coin,
little of which they had ever seen.
