WAR SECRET OF VAST
NATIONAL IMPORTANCE

A remarkable invention, of enough
Importance, 1t Is asserted, to turn the
balance in a war between two nations
of equal strength, Is now, according
to the Melbourne Argus, under the
consideration of the War Office in Lon
don.
The inventor, Mr.. G. B. Austin, Vic
torian Civil Service, hit on the idea
some time ago, and after testing It
with models submitted 1t to the I'm
perial government. AS the result a
trusted War Office official was sent to
Australia, and was entirely salts
fled that an invention of vast national
Importance had been evolved" A syn
dictate has been formed, and its head
has declared that he will not dispose
of the secret for less than 1000, 900
pounds.
1t is stated that the intention is an
implement of war used in connection
with heavy artillery. enabling guns to
be fired up to a distance of twelve
miles with marvellous accuracy.
The utmost precautions have been
taken to preserve secrecy. None the
less, 1t is believed that the secret SER
vice agents of foreign Power have
been at work in Melbourne attempting
to obtain information. Decoy plans and
sketches, placed in private safe,
We're stealthily distracted. So great
was the fear that the secret might be
surprised. that when the inventor. hav-
ing destroyed his plans and models.
and carrying the key to the appliance
only in his brain, sailed for London,
the following conditions were imposed
upo him:
That he should never go upon deck
after dark.
That he should not smoke cigars.
That he should not drink any alcohol.
That he should not enter into con-
versation with any lady passenger,
Seeing that Lord Roberts is said to
have commented favorably on the in
vention, 1t is firmly believed that It will
prove oticable.--London Daily Mail.

ONE MORE
DEFALCAT|ON

p. d. Kellett Jr. was brought out
Of prison, where he is serving time
for embezzlement of trust funds in
various probate matters. to answer to
still another defalcation. In the
former cases his bondsmen made good
the deficiencies. j. Alfred Magoon is
his surety on $4,000 bond in the
present case, that of the guardianship
of Kan Yee, a minor.
j. Marcallino as master made
report on Kellett's final account filed
only on Thursday last, which covered
period from January %, 1901, to
Nov. 80, 1906. Kellett was appointed
guardian by Judge Humphreys on Jan.
20, 1901, and qualified by fling bond
in $4,000 with j. Alfred Magoon as
surety. In his account he charges him
self with principal 1867 and interest
$717.99, total of $4354.99, and asks
to be allowed $2010.99 including COM
missions to himself of $135.99. The
master shows that there is cash bal
ance due to the estate of $2344.
81 have called upon the guardian"
the master concludes, "asking that
l be shown this amount of $2344 and
have been informed by him that he
can not produce the same.''
Judge Lindsay gave a hearing of
the masters report yesterday after
noon.
Kellett was in court and only said
that he had referred the master to
Mr.. Magoon. Mr.. Marcallino stated
that he had seen Mr.. Magoon, who
said he had nothing to do with the
matter.
Judge Lindsay thereupon made the
following order:
cit appearing to the court that the
guardian in this ease, p. d. Kellett,
is chargeable with the sum of two
thousand three hundred and forty-four
dollars ($2344.00) and that he can not
produce the same nor give any salts
factory statement as to where the same
is now lying, the guardian is hereby
removed from such Office as guardian
and John Marcalino is hereby appoint
ed guardian of the property of the
minor herein, with instructions to
make immediate demand upon said p.
d. Kellett for all the property Of the
minor in his hands, and upon said
Marcallino obtaining the same to turn
it forthwith into COURT
Mr.. Marcallino's appointment was
made simply that he might make a
formal demand on Kellett for the
money. When the refusal is made, as
seems probable, there will be some
thing doing.

still another point was raised that

ury to do that. II was claimed that

ever, Senator Lodge admitted that this
could be done under the provision In
the conference report and the South
erners. although declaring that South
ern States did not like to do business
that way, indicated that was what was
likely TO happen. Finally a vote was
reached, the conference report was ap-
proved, to be followed by prompt ac-
ton by the House and the sending OF
the immigration bill to the President
for signature. The House promptly
passed a resolution inquiring of Secre-
tary Straus about his decision on
South Carolina immigration, but 1t
probably will not be heard from fur

rejoicing that the Japanese incident is
closed and that everybody Is so well
pleased.
The Rivers and Harbors bill was re-
ported from the Commerce Committee
to the Senate this afternoon. There
was no change whatever in the text
of the House provision for appropria-
tons for Honolulu and Hilo and there
is not the slightest chance that those
items will be disturbed. II the bill
becomes a law, Honolulu and Hilo will
be provided for as the House legislat-

ate or by extended debate on the con-
ference report, but that kind of threat
is not taken seriously.

WITNESS GAY TELLS
ABOUT LANA|'S STATUS

The Lanai investigation was resum-
ed last evening.
The committee assembled at 1880
Charles Gay, who was being examin-
ed when the committee adjourned on
Friday night, was recalled and, con-
tinuing his testimony, stated that at
the time the appraisers visited the is
land, he accompanied them on their
tour of inspection, only, however, in
the capacity of guide He did not
learn until some time after this that
the appraisers had decided on a valua-
ton for the government lands. He did
not recall from whom he received this
| information, but he remembered that
| the figures given him by this inform
ant We're 100000, After n general de-
| scription of the various methods by
| which he had endeavored to secure
water, Mr.. Gay suggested that 1t
would be we'll for the committee to
visit the island. Mr.. w. 7. Rawlins
stated that this was the committees
intention. Answering question OF Mr.
Rawlins, Mr.. Gay stated that, with the
present irrigation facilities, Lanai
lands were fit only for grazing pur-
poses. He said also that the native
population of Lanai were not restrain
ed in any manner by him; that they
We're free to plant anywhere on his
lands. His object in thus literally
treating these people was to retain
them on the island, so that in the event
OF his being able to resume ranching
on the scale formerly carried on by
him, he might find employees. He said
he was especially friendly to Hawai-
ians, TO whom he had always given
preference in employing labor. Fores-
tation, stated Mr.. Gay. is the only
salvation OF the island, and this he
thought, would be impracticable unless
the thousands OF goats now on Lanai
were exterminated.
Further questions failing to elicit
anything not previously covered in his
examination, Mr.. Gay was excused.
The committee then adjourned until
Tuesday evening next at o'clock.

WINDING UP
OF THE zoo
tFrom Sundays Advertiser)


only the two bears and the wildcat
remained unsoid when o. A. Steven OF
Morgan's had got through with the
Zoo auction yesterday. Samuel Parker
wanted to buy the bears for Superin-
tendent McVeigh TO take to the Settle
ment along with the other pets he
bought at the sale. But Jack"
thought Messrs. Bruln rather beyond
the limit as TO both grooming and
feeding. AS 1t was he bought the gor-
geously plumaged and glib-talking
Australian parrots with other fine
birds. nearly all the monkeys and the
Australian wallaby.
Paul Isenberg was a liberal buyer.
The Autralin emu, with other fancy
stock. became his property. There was
fun now and then in passages between
the crier and his audience. Mr.. Steven
at an early stage told of the framed
motto Mr.. Morgan, before leaving for
the Coast, gave him-"When in doubt
tell the truth" A little later he was
selling Japanese fowls and said the
ROSTERS tail grew to be fifteen feet
long. He was making the statement
stronger by adding that in fact while
the bird lived the tail never stopped
growing when someone sang out to him
to remember his motto.
The auctioneer bid in the bears and
their cage at SIS, announcing that
anyone could have the bargain at $50.
Very fair prices were obtained though
in cases of the rarer creatures below
cost. The prettier polls brought SIG
apiece, and the emu s35
One of the keenest contests of the
morning was between Mrs. Camp and
Mr.. Thwing for the Japanese tea
house. The Doctors wife stalled the
Oriental scholar at $40, her next small
advance taking the prize. 1t cost $500
and was in good condition. One of the
Davies imported portable cottages,
slightly the worse for weather about
the roof, went for about $125, or a third
OF cost.
the site and permanent improvements
were sold. The property was knocked
down to the order of Harry Armitage
for $500, but from talks with the auc-
tioneer and the purported buyer yes
terday afternoon the inference was
gained that the transactionJ was not
ripper than an option.
1t was probably the most largely at
tended auction sale ever held in Ho-
nolulu. For, as a matter of fact, the
free admission to the geological collec-
ton and the outing combined to make
n gala day attraction of the event.
Women adm children were out in hun
dreds and many ordinarily busy men
gave a truce to their avocations to be
there. Extra cars had to be run to car
ry the crowd.
Many people regret that A. V. Gears
enterprise in creating a geological gar
den on a respectable scale has proved
so Improbable as to compel its aban-
donment. 1t was an excellent show
place-in the showman's language,
both instructive and entertaining
but evidently the population of Homo
lulu is both too small and too sta
tionary to give steady patronage to
such an institution as private VEN
ture.

A industry which has sprung up in this coun-
~ try almost within the last decade and is fast
- - getting firm foothold a rival to the for
eign product is that of artificial flower making. In
deed, the enormous consumption has enticed America
into the field of manufacturing an article which
claims Paris its birthplace The making of
artificial flowers might well be termed national
industry in France, for the trade in that country
amounts to twenty-four million francs annually.
Fully seven-tenths of the girls and women of the
laborlng class in Paris employed in some one
branch of the flower manufactC-y
Now, however, the aower industry of the United
States is fairly well organized, and France is slowly
but surely losing her American trade. In New

this country there fifty factories scattered
about West Broe dway, each employing from fifty
to seventy-hve girls and women during the season
