and rode away to the cheer of the
Volcano House. That is familiar and
most pleasant grouI.u, the point where
/ civilization touches the lava wilder
ness. They told us that Kilauea was
not active. so we did not go down to
the crater. But we dined sumptuously,
and Eben Low met us with strong
horses and, after we had slept. we
started out upon the long trail that
, leads to Humuula sheep station.
WONDERFUL KOA TREES.
1t was a beautiful and not a hard
ride over that long 35 miles of winding
trail In the beginning there were the
koa forests, great gray tree giants that
Il would seem would appeal to all that
is aesthetic in the minds of men for
4 their preservation. They look like the
white oaks of California, which owners
Of lands now preserve so jealously. Yet
i'm these forests we found the prelim-
mary workers of the Koa Lumber Com
pany preparing to destroy these trees.
The trees, on the Bishop estate, are
being cut, 1t Is said, scientifically,
under the authorization of the Chief
Forester. The Chief Forester, 1t is to
be presumed, knows his trade. Also,
l suppose that from the strictly utili-
tartan standpoint, the lumber should
not be allowed to go to waste, to fall
and lie rotting on the ground, as 1t
does when the trees fall. Still, it is
great pity to cut the trees-a very
great pity. And l would deem that
there be better things in the contem-
plation of wonderful natural beauty
than in the jingling dollars of divi.
dends. But ! own no sawmills, and
collect no dividends. l only have eyes
! wherewith to see. And the Chief For
ester says some trees must go to save
! the rest. Even n trees, the old pass.
! 1t is a long and winding trail ovei
all the lava flows of Mauna Loa to the
moss-covered steppes of Humuula
which lies in the saddle between the
two great peaks of Hawaii, and around
about the hospitable house where Eber
Low and Samuel Parker, Jr., live theil
lives and make welcome all who com,
to them, most beautiful country lie:
-grassed uplands, parked with spread
ing trees. that slope away to the out
lying spurs of Mauna Kea 1t is, in
deed, one of the most beautiful place
in these islands, with a cool and brac
ing atmosphere that sets the blood o
a man to singing. And from the doc

TnE GOVERNOR
As A BOOME|

Our versatile Governor overlooks no
opportunity for presenting the claims
OF Hawaii and the advantages of her
climate and possibilities whenever and
wherever he can secure the proper kind
of listeners. Ard he found a listener
to his heart IS content II jovial Captain
Tutt, the owner and commander of the
yacht Anemone Not only did Captain
Tutt listen, but he absorbed what he
heard and asked. for further informa-
tion, showing that he was sizing up
things from the standpoint of a capi-
talst and an investor.
The conversation had turned on
Island fruits. The party, of which the
Governor and the Captain were two of
four, were cooling off on the tiny lanai
of the office at the Honolulu plantation,
having just passed through the refining
process in the mill. Waving his hand
, to sweep in the entire circle of land
scape the Governor waxed eloquent on
sugar, reeling off statistics of acreage,
, tonnage, purity, percentages and cen
e trifugal tests.

which is remarkable for that the people
have no water but that which falls
from heaven. and for the further fact
that there are no mosquitoes there. I
found a small pig, cooked to a turn in
an imu here whereof ! ate so much
that / have not been able to look at "a
rig without a shrinking feeling since
then. IL is not conducive to self re-
spect to reflect that you may be the
moving sepulchre of the first cousin or
the little brother of any pig you may
chance to meet in the road.
The Kalapana entertainment was at
the home Of the schoolmaster, and the
supper Hawaiian. Even the tea was
native. a kind of flower that grows in
the craters of Puma, and was excellent.
After supper the native boys and girls
gathered at the house of the school
master. on the lanai facing the sea.
and to low accompaniment sang softly
the sweet songs of old Hawaii. This
was not the loud twanging that passes
in Honolulu for Hawaiian music. Not
at all. 1t was clear, true and beauti-
fully cadenced-and even when the
words were English, as in some of the
songs they were. 1t was in the reversed
English of the native. And that is not
like the English you and I know. Also,
there is at Kalapana a little girl whom
Kapellmeister Berger should hear and
train. She has a voice.
The Kalapana schoolmaster. David
Kaloi rode with us from his own place
and out across more Of the lava flows
OF Puma. Surely, with craters and the
black vomit of them, there is no land
like Puma in all the world. 1t seems
that man here. civilized man, touches
chaos very closely.
Our party wanted to see heiaus, tc
the end that steps might be taken fol-
their preservation. and David was a
good guide. He knows every temple
i'm all that region, and many of the
legends of them-or, If he makes up the
| legends, they are all good ones. Yer!
good. for instance, was the tale he tolt
us standing on the brink of the Pool o.

| backward into the lava field from th'
sea, hard by the ruins of the temple o
Punaluu. which was structure of Gu
stones. small but with walls very regu

the pool is the goddess Punaluu,' saiC

SHE Is NOT SATISFIED.
Mrs. Kremer Appeals From Judge
Dana's Divorce Decision.


Ellen P Kremer, SIS years old, is not
satisfied with her divorce decree from
John L. Kremer, two years her senior,
which was granted by Judge Dana of
the district court of Shawnee county
on June IS, 1906. She objects to that
part of the decree in which Judge
Dana awards title to Kremer to the
eighty acre farm near Richland, where
they lived as man any wife for thirty
nine years. Through her attorneys.
Carver and Larimer, she has filed an
appeal in the supreme court Of the
state. from that part OF the decision of
Judge Dana relating to the title of the
property.
in her petition for divorce. which
was granted by Judge Dana, Mrs.
kremer set up that during the last five
years of their married life, they have
been married since October 81, 1867,
Kremer had been an habitual drunk
ard and had treated her with extreme
cruelty, frequently striking her and
that he had failed to provide for her
support She averred in her petition
that their eighty acre farm had been
acquired since their marriage through
her own means.
Mr.. Kremer in his answer insisted
that there was no greater domestic
infelicity- between himself and wife
than was common among people OF
their class and that discord in the fam
lily had been engendered by Mrs. Kre-
mer's sisters, Mrs. Angelina Smith,
divorced woman, and Mrs. Teresa T.
Shangfelt. a widow who had insisted on
living with them Without paying board
and that they were always of a med
dlesome disposition with a desire to con-
troll everything in sight and with
large capacity to develop discord.'
He said further that a couple of years
ago Mrs. Kremer sold much of the live
stock on the place under a plea that
she wanted to change the breed and
that she pocketed the proceeds and on
December 5, 1905, took most Of the
household goods, and went to Herring
ton with her sister. Mrs. Smith. Kremer
insisted that he had equitable title with
Mrs. KremeF to all Of their property.
personal as we'll as real estate.
In granting Mrs. Krener a divorce
on the ground of cruelty on the part of
her husband, Judge Dana decided that
each of them should retain the per-
sonal property held at the time and
that Mr.. kremer should have absolute
title to the so acre farm on his pay
ment within six months to Mrs. Kremer
Of $3.50 in cash.
Mrs. KTemer was not satisfied With
the decree in regards to the real pro-
perty and has appealed to the supreme
court from this part of Judge Dana's
decision

PAY NO ATTENTION.
Mr.. Robinson says Eight-Hour Law
Is Continually violated.

There seems to be a sort of an cpl
denic of violations OF the eight-hour
labor law on public works throughout
the state, according to W. D Robin
son, deputy commissioner Of the
bureau OF labor statistics. Several
complaints have been received at the
bureau of late of violations of this
law, and within the last week OF ten
days Mr.. Robinson has investigated
three of them and found that the
law was being violated, chiefly
through the ignorance of the provi-
sions of the law by the contractors
engaged in the work, and on his point
ing out that the law was being vio-
lated the contractors in each of the
three instances promised to see that
its provisions we're lived up to. If
they live up to their promises they will
not be prosecuted for violating the
law. but if they do not they will be.
Mr.. Robinson has just returned
from Emporia, where he went to in
vestigate a complaint that the eight
hour law was being violated by con-
tractors on street work. He found
that the complaint was sustained only
as to the men who were engaged in
hauling brick for the pavements.
These men had been forced to work
more than eight hours a day. After
Mr.. Robinson explained the nature
OF the law to the contractor he sig
i44ucu his Willingness TO dDlQ6 Dy II.
Another complaint investigated by
Mr.. Robinson was at Ottawa, where it
was claimed that the men al work in
building the new county Jail were
compelled to work more than eight
hours day. Mr. Robinson found
that this was so. The contractor in
charge OF the work claimed that he
understood the law did not apply to
his working forces. 1t was his idea
that when a city or a county, as the
case might be, let the contract for city
or county work to outside parties the
work ceased to be city or county work
and the contractor was not amenable
to the eight-hour law. Mr.. Robinson
convinced this man that his ideas on
the subject were wrong and that his
position was an untenabIe one, and the
contractor agreed to observe the law
in the future
Still another complaint looked into
by MI Robinson was in relation to the
violation of the law in the building OF
the new county court house at New
ton He found in this instance also
that the law was being violated by the
contractor who had charge of the ex-
cavation work for this building. This
contractor pleaded ignorance of the
provisions of the law. He said he did
not think that it applied to excavation
work. He promised to see that the
law was not violated in the future.

BOLD, NAUGHTY HIGHSvAYMEN.
Even Took Money Out OF Their
Women Victims Stockings.

Memphis, Tenn, July 25.-In approved
western style two highwaymen held up
and robbed May Goodwin and frankie
TIern. of 1888 Old Madison street, in
Raleigh boulevard. four miles from the
CITY. at / o'clock last night, securing
s.. 600 in diamonds and other jewels and
1912 in cash.
The women were driving when their
horse was gresped by one of the high
waymen. By dropping rings in the bot
tom of the buggy, while removing 9TH
ers from their hands, Miss Goodwin
saved about 500 and Miss Hern about
$500. After getting the jewelry the
searching nighwayn1ea removed fromits
place of secretion in the stocking of
Miss Hern Sill in bills, while $50 was
taken from the hosiery of Miss Good
win. The thieves then allowed thei-
victims to depart.

Missouri Paciac accepts Suggestion
With Reference to Cars.

At the suggestion of the state board
Of railroad commissioners the Missouri
Pacific Railway company viii discon-
tinue its practice Of keeping the rear
doors OF its passenger cars locked
while trains are en- route.
A complaint was received some time
ago by the board from the commercial
travellers organization that the keep
ing Of rear doors of the cars locked. as
the Missouri Pacific has been doing,
was q menace to the safety Of passen-
gers in case of a wreck. The board
took the matter uD with the railroad
company and secured a promise from
them that they would not lock the rear
doors of their cars IN the future. ex
cept as the train was pulling into sta
tions and that tl%e company would
keep them locked while the trains were
in stations. This the company main
tafns is necessary in order that the
train crews may be able to keep track
of the passengers getting on and off the
cars. The train crew is only sufficient
to permit Of one entrance to a. car be-
ing watched and If the rear doors are
kept open while a train is in a station
persons are apt to get on the cars
without proper tickets, and sometimes
without any at all. and trouble fol-
lows But the company in the future
will not keep the rear doors locked
while the trains are moving.

SHE WANTS TO SING.
Mrs. FIansburg ASKS Governor Hocn
for q License.

Mrs. Julia f. H. Flansburg. of No.
1901 MCGEE street, Kansas City, Mo,
wants Governor E. W. Hoch to issue
her a permit of some sort which will
allow her S-year-old son and herself to
sing songs of temperance in Kansas
City. Kan. A letter was received to-
day by Mr. Charles Sessions, the gov
errors private secretary from Mrs.
F'lansburg in which she made a request
for this permit.
According to this letter there is an
ordinance in Kansas City. Kan. which
prohibits singing on the street but Mrs.
Flansburg says she has been told that
this ordinance is unconstitutional and
that the governor has therefore a right
to give her the permit she desires. She
has been taken into custody a couple
of times by the police of Kansas City,
Kan. for singing on street corners with
her son, because of blocking traffic on
the streets on account of the crowds
which gathered to hear the songs. She
has not been prosecuted on these ar
rests, merely having been taken to po-
lice headquarters and then allowed to
go after a reDrimand.
She says that she is permitted to sing
temperance songs in Kansas City, No,
without molestation and thinks she
should have the same privilege in Kan
sas City, Kan, and she belteevs mat
she can accomplish much good for the
temperance cause if she and her son are
permitted to sing on the streets.
Mr.. Sessions will inform Mrs. Flans-
burg that Governor Hoch is without
authority to grant the permit she de-
sires.

RICH HARVEST IN AUTO TEES.
Jersey Collects s4O.2ss in Two Weeks
Under New Law.

Trenton, July 25.-New Jersey has re-
ceived $40, 23S in license fees from auto
mobilists as a result of the first two
weeks operation of the new auto law.
according to a statement issued today
by J. B. R. Smith, state commissioner
Of motor vehicles. This sum has been
turned into the treasury for use in re-
pairing the improved roads of the state.
The commissioner expresses satisfac-
ton. with the working of the law and
says for the most part it has been heart
lily complied with by autoists
The criticism of the law as whatever
defiance Of it has been so far reported, -
he adds, comes from almost entirely.
am sorry to say, from persons residing
outside the state Mr.. Smith con-
cludes:
7 deem it the correct policy to pro-
tect the rights of the motor vehicle and
advance its scope of usefulness in every
possible way. But 7 cannot conceive
that this can be done without at the
same time protecting the rights of other
users of the highway Though the mo-
tor car may be of much more import
ance in the development of the COM
munity tfsan the man with the wheel
barrow, yet as an American citizen the
latter has just as much right to the use
Of the highway as the former"
