WHY HAWAII IS
TO Be FORTIFIED

The Washington Post of January 30
says:
The Senate has increased the appro-
priation for the defenses Of Hawaii, in
accordance with the recommendations
of Secretary Taft. 1t is estimated that
the War Department can expend to ad-
vantage $36O,O0O during the coming
fiscal year.
While the suggestion will be officially
secuted that the recent Japanese war
talk has anything to do with the forth
fication of Hawaii, people generally Will
regard the insistence of the War De-
partment as inspired by the belief that
the time is at hand when something
tangible must be done to insure I'M
disturbed possession of the Islands. The
continued influx of able-bodied Japa-
nese into Hawaii, many of them veter-
ans of the Russo-Japanese war. has not
been overlooked. OF course, the pros
pect OF war with Japan seems very re-
mote, indeed but in the case of Ha-
wall the possibilities are such as to
justify prompt defensive measures. The
United States does not intend to give
up Hawaii to anybody, and would be
forced to fight desperately for it If it
should be captured. The War Depart
ment evidently thinks it is cheaper to
defend it than to recapture it, and the
public is likely to adopt the same view.
The Philippines are in a different
class. Big appropriations for fortify-
ing them are not urged by the military
authorities. The people have not had
an opportunity to indicate their pleas
ure with regard to the retention of that
archipelago, but it is almost UNIVERSAL
ly suspected that If a vote could be
had on the question the islands would
be ordered sold to the highest bidder,
under proper terms securing certain
fundamental rights to the Filipinos. At
any rate, enough has been learned from
popular discussion to make it quite evil
dent that heavy expenditures of Amer
lean money in the islands, for any pur-
pose whatever would be decidedly OPP
posed. The attitude of the United
States toward the islands is totally I'M
like its attitude toward Hawaii, which
is American through and through In
case of war with Japan or any other
big power, the novel spectacle might
be presented of two national policies
with respect to these Pacific posses
sions-one a policy OF Indifference and
readiness to put up fight to the m
ish rather than to surrender an inch
of ground.

SIGHTS UNcHARTED REEF.

SAN FRANCISCO. February 4.-The
French bark Michelet. which arrived
here from London on January 81. had
close call from running on an un-
charted reef. According to a report
that Captain Rose. the master of the
vessel. made to the United States Hy-
geographic Office yesterday, the vessel
passed within 200 yards OF the reef. The
danger to navigation is located in lati-
tude 22:19 north and longitude 1906
west. He reports that the reef was
sighted on January Is at a. m. and
that the weather was clear at the time
with a light northeast wind and slight
swell. He took no soundings. and ON
arriving here he had his chronometer
tested and found It correct.

FOR A PUBLIC
ADMINISTRATOR

The necessity of appointing public
administrator for the handling cf the
estates of those who die interstate was
discussed in Judge Lindsay's court yes
terday, the judge stating that such an
appointment had brought about good
reults in some of the States and night
be advisable in this Territory. the
question of administrators and guard
ians has had several airings in this
court of late and some guardians who
have been remiss in their duties have
been sharply reminded of the fact. This
has led also to the suggestion that
public guardian might also be appoint
ed with advantage to many.
There Is one thing do believe" said
Judge Lindsay, land that Is that
guardians should be required to FUR
nish the bond of surety company in
stead of a personal bond 1t is difficult
to tell what man is really worth. Oh
course. in the case of large estates
there is comparatively little chance for
loss on account of the fact that the ac-
counts are more closely scrutinized. But
in the case of parent who dies and
leaves his children only small prop
erty, any relative may come before the
probate Judge and ask to be appointed
guardian and generally there seems no
good reason why he should not be APP
pointed to look after the affairs of the
child or children. He puts up a per-
sonal bond, which may be good or may
not be worth anything, and the wards
are liable to suffer from his careless
ness or trickery.
Even in the case Of large estates,
where the bond of supposedly rich
man or corporation is put up, there Is
chance for loss, as one never knows
whether a man is really rich or on the
verge of bankruptcy. For that reason,
/ think all guardians bonds should be
those of surety companies, so that there
would be no chance for loss.
There has been entirely too much
carelessness in guardianship matters in
this Territory" continued Judge Lind
say, land l believe that a change such
as I have suggested would be bene-
f1cial."
SUPREME COURT HURRIES MAT
TIERS.
A decision was handed down by the
Supreme Court yesterday morning IN
a matter which had only been sub
mitted to 1t the previous afternoon, the
matter of the constituting Of the will of
Hikaalana Hebron Noholoa, deceased,
who had been a resident at the leper
settlement. The knot to be unraveled
was whether the maker of the will had
intended to include the property she
owned in Honolulu with that owned at
the settlement when she said "all prop
erty known belonging to me and ap-
pearing in my NAME" which she had
willed to her husband.
The contention of a niece of the de-
ceased that the Honolulu property was
not included was denied by the SUI
preme Court.

SENATE WILL SIT IN
PUBLIC WORKS OFFICE

1t has been decided that the Senate
will hold its session in the large room
now occupied by the Department OF
Public Works, across the main hall
from the Throne Room, where the
members of the Legislature Will hold
their deliberations. 1t has not yet been
decided where the clerks of the Public
Works Department are to go to do
their work during the session.
This is as the Senators themselves
had desired, the large room being more
suitable for them than the office Of the

cream cloth with a filmy lace empire
bodice, from which falls toward the back
an empire late coat. The third change is
of white lace with a Louis XIV back of
green brocade, the sleeves of full fall
of exquisite lace. With this she wears
hat of yellow and white, with long white
plumes. The fourth is pink chiffon,
princess with a spangled yoke inset and
draped sleeves of lace, with the same
transparent coat effect of silver spangled
net. The last is of the fullest white chif-
fon. The yoke part and sleeves and the
bottom Of the dress are trimmed with
spangled net and ribbon embroidery With
them she wears the famous slippers
which are brown satin, the heels a solid
mass of diamonds and worn with brown
silk lace stockings.
Edith Decker wears an emerald green
chiffon cloth, with cream lace and large

For Miss Bates and THE Girl of the
Golden West" an engagement in Wash
ington is something in the nature of
homecoming. The piece did not receive
its first presentation here, but it was
brought to the Belasco immed ately after
its initial production in Pittsburg. and
was seen here several weeks before it
was taken to New York to begin its met
ropolitan run of nearly five hundred per-
formances. There is. in all proba billty,
no actress upon Washington's calling list
who enjoys a greater degree of popular
favor than Miss Bates. and there has
never been time that her visits to this
city have not been the occasion of en-
thusiastic receptions. And among the
program for the past decade there is none
upon whose record success is more plain
ly marked than 1.-The Girl of the Golden
West" Both as play and as produc-
ton it represents David Belasco at the
height of his powers. THE Girl of the
Golden West was written to be a typical
American play and this object is gener-
ally admitted to have been attained. How
it has impressed those who have not the
American viewpoint from which to judge
it is shown by it's selection by Giacomo
Puccini to be the fbretto of his first
American grand opera"
With a few exceptions the company
which supports Miss Bates now is that
same well-balanced and capable organi-
cation of players which has been asso-
ciated with the offering since lis first
presentation.
There will be only a Saturday matinee
at the Belasco this week.

Boston Symphony and Paderewski.

The Boston Symphony Orchestra will
give its second concert of the season in
the New National Theater next Tues
day afternoon at 4:3O o'clock, with
Paderewski as soloist. He will play Rubin
stems concerto in D minor. To all lovers
oil music it is well known as one of the
most brilliant pieces of its kind. Writ
ten by a great pianist who was also a
great composer. it contains all the ma
terial necessary to display the virtuosity
OF the performer and at the same time
holds within itself musical value of an
uncommon sort. Pade:ewski played this
work in Boston November 10 and Is.
and won an enormous success.
The first work of the program will be
one that Is new to Washington, and
which should win the same favor here
that it has in other places the Boston
symphony Orhestra has played this
year. 1t is symphonic trilogy by Vim
cent d'Indy. entitled ''Wallenstein." 1t is
inspired by the three Schiller dramas.
"Wallenstein's Camp" II Piccolomini,'
and "Wallenstein's Death" The first and
last movements of the work bear the
same names as the first and last parts
of the dramatic triogy. but the second
movement. instead of being called II
Piccolomini.' is entitled Max and
Thekla" Vincent d'Indy will be remem-
bered as having conducted the December
concert of the. Boston Symphony Orches-
ira in Washington two years ago. He
ranks among the greatest contemporary
French composers. D'Indy wrote the Sec
ord movement concert overture in
the early seventies. when it was played
in Paris. and the work was performed
as a whole in Paris nineteen years ago.
Parts of 1t have been played in this coun-
try. but 1t was never performed in it's en-
tirety until DR.. Muck brought it out in
Boston a few weeks ago. 1t is straight
program music, the first movement por-
traying the marital excitement and the
rude carouslngs of a camp, the second
being q love song pure and simple, and
the third being marked with the shadow
of tragedy.
The program in full will be as follows:
D'Indy-Symphonic Trilogy "Wallen-
STEM" after the dramatic poem of Schil-
Ter, op. II.
acknowledgements in D minor No. 4,
for pianoforte and orchestra, op. 20.

Paris is the subject in the series of il
illustrated "travel-talks' by Burton
Holmes at the Columbia Theater at $50
tonight and 4:3O tomorrow afternoon.
This will in no way be a repetition of any
lecture he has heretofore given under this
title. for his visit to Paris last summer
has given him new still pictures and new
motion pictures to make an absolutely
new travelogue. He will confine his pres
ent lecture to the boulevards, the prin-
cipal points of interest and the daily life
OF Paris, as seen by him this last sum-
mer within the immediate confines of
the city itself. Among the more notable
motion pictures to be shown will be sew

this week of "Brewsters Millions which
comes here with the original New York
cast and all its mechanical electrical and
scenic equipment. Brewster Millions"
Is the stage version of George Barr
McCutcheon's story of young man who
is compelled to spend one million dollars

the play, is said to Lave introduced some
striking stage pictt 'es. One is a storm
at sea with the entire stage representing
an ocean, going yacht. which is moved by
the motion of the waves, and this is said
to be one of the most unusual pieces of
mechanism ever introduced upon the
stage. The story of the play deals with
the efforts of Montgomery Brewster to

from his grandfather, to o..ain a bequest
of 100000, willed under certain condi-
tons to him by an uncle. The acceptance
