DOLE BEGINS A
BIG DAMAGE SUIT
TRYING WITTHOFF S CLAIM FOR
COMPENSATION FOR LOSS OF
RIGHT ARM.

In the United States District Court
Judge Dole this morning began hear
ing the testimony in the case of Witt
hoff VS.. the barkentine Fullerton, for
damages in the sum Of $4,000 as the
result of injuries he received which
caused the loss of his right arm.
The plaintiff in the case was mate
on board the vessel at the time the ac-
cident happened, just after leaving the
coast for the Territory. He claims
that instead of putting back to port
where his injury could receive proper
surgical attention the vessel kept on
her course with the result that his arm
had to be amputated.
Attorneys Douthitt and Peters are
representing the plaintiff in the mat
ter, while Attorneys Smith & Lewis
are representing the vessels owners.

The Dix
A Collier
TRANSPORTS NOW BEING PRESS
ED INTO SERVICE TO BRING
COAL FOR THE FLEET.

When the Army's horse and mule
transport Dix has discharged her mus
cular freight at Manila she will go to
Newcastle for load of coal for HO.
nolulu or San Francisco, for the Unit
ed States Navy.
AS has previously been published in
this paper, coal is in great demand on
the Pacific coast and at this port since
the Pacific operations of the Navy
were announced. A quarter of mil.
lion tons of coal is being arranged for
to be delivered on the Coast and at
least $4,000 tons are to be brought
here.
The problem of transportation is
gradually being solved by the depart
ment. So difficult is it to secure all
the vessels necessary that it has been
decided, according to the latest reports,
to put what transports can be spared
into the coal carrying business and

on a big cargo of fuel for Honolulu or
Mare Island.
The Dix will probably make several
round trips, bringing coal to Hawaii or
taking it to the Coast and then trans
porting animals back to the Philip
pines.
The Dix has received all the coal
here she needs for fuel, having taken
aboard 500 tons. She is now discharg-
ing 10000 feet of lumber for the En-
gineer's department here and expects
to sail for Manila on Thursday, taking
aboard her animals which are at pres
ent enjoying liberty in the corral.

HARD DISCIPLINE NOW

The Brownsville regiment" which
left here this morning on the transport
Crook, is better behaved than the aver
age white regiment. So say its Off
GERS, and they see to it that the claim
is pretty nearly made good. Since
the Texas shooting affair, the discipline
in the regiment has been very severe.
The white officers take no chances now.
A party of the soldiers walking along
King street yesterday passed and salut-
ed an officer who, noticing some un-
buttoned coats among the men, made
them walk back, button up and salute
him again That is the sort of con-
troll kept over the Brownsville men.

do not seem to know whether or not
the regiment was guilty of the acts
which caused the President to dis

Chief Thurston of the Fire Depart
ment stated this morning that he was
still making an investigation of the
fire at the kerosene warehouse last
Sunday, but that he had been unable
to find out anything definite as yet, as
he was working without any tangible
evidence and it was very hard to find
out anything at all, as no one saw any
one leaving the scene of the fire, and
what evidence he had heard has prov
ed unreliable

CONGRESSMAN LoNGwoRTH
PASSES HIGH COMPLIMENT TO
ISLAND POLO MEN.
LONGWORTtl

A meeting of the Inter-Island Polo
Association will be held tomorrow
morning at ii o'clock at Walter Dill
lingham's office, to talk over and de-
eide about the team that will go up to
the Coast to play in the coming tour
nament in February, at the Hotel Coro-
nado, for the championship of the Pa
cific coast. The matter of ponies will
be considered very thoroughly at this
meeting and it is very probable that
the different people who own polo po-
nies will be asked to lend the ponies to
the team, so that it will be possible to
have a good string for the matches.
Dillingham; stated that they were
very anxious to have an Al team to
represent the islands and that he could
see no reason why Hawaii should not
be able to get one together that will
give any team a very hard rub.
Congressman Longworth, in his af-
ter-dinner talk at the Polo dinner Sat-
urday night, said that he had seen
many polo games throughout the Unit
ed States, but he had never seen any
team play as fast as Maui and Oahu
did the first three periods of the game.

of the recent matches stated that 1--WE

FTER CASES OF
CRUELTY ITO HORSES
MANUEL SEBASTIAN is FINED
AND MISS DAWSON WILL AR
REST OTHER OFFENDERS.

Manuel Sebastian was fined SIS and
costs in police court this morning for
that he abused horse, hiring him for
Sunday drive from a livery stable
and trying to get his four-dollars'
worth out of the beast by driving him
beyond endurance and plastering his
hide with hurry-up cracks of the lash.
Humane officer Miss Rose Dawson
brought him to judgment as she in
tends to bring other of his stripe to
the justice-and-mercy seat, only there
will be less mercy than justice at the
next session.
1t has come to the attention of the
humane officialle that many are the
dumb ones sacrificed on a Sunday, hir-
ed for the day and belabored unmer-
cifully to do three days work therein.
Sailors and soldiers and lovers are
not the ones guilty of such treatment
to horses on Sunday rides, for sailors
and soldiers generally hitch horse
somewhere while they spend most of
their time within doors imbibing OF
calling, and lovers treat horses better
than other people treat hired animals,
as rule, for they let the reins go slack
and trust to Cupid and the sagacity of
the beast. They are town boys who
abuse the beasts on the holy Sabbath
and after them comes Miss Humane
oficer hot-foot and without gloves.

TO ARBITRATE.

An agreement for arbitration was
this morning filed with clerk of the
Judiciary department by which a con-
troversy between the Kona Develop
ment Co. and f. B. McStocker, of one
part, and NJ. f. Scott of the other part
is to be submitted to the decision OF
Hon. J. A. Matthewman, Hon. A. w
Carter and George Clark for decision
reserving right of appeal to Supreme
Court on points of law.
The controversy is with regards to
an agreement for the growing and cul-
tlvating OF certain cane on Hawaii.

From the money still available on
the contract of L. NJ. Whitehouse on
the construction of the Nuuanu dam,
Superintendent of Public Works Hol-
loway estimates that the work will be
able to continue until the 10th of Sep
tember, but not longer.
At the present time there are prob
ably 75 or 80 men working on the dam.
There is no other money available than
that due on the contractors agreement,
and the cost of putting in the new
pumping plant for the purpose of sluic-
ing in the fill for the structure,
amounting to upwards of $4,000, which
was turned down by the Territorial
Auditor when demands were made on
the fund for Maintenance of Honolulu
Water Works, have also been paid by
the contractor.
Superintendent Holloway stated this
morning in connection with the state
ment published that Che new pump
just installed at the dam for the pur-
pose of sluicing had proved a failure,
that the pump when properly connect
ed up will do all that was claimed for
it. The pump, he says, at the present
time had delivered about three-fourths
of the water it is supposed to, but
a larger pulley is being put on the en-
gine by which the pump will be driven
faster Holloway maintains that the
pump has not yet come up to the guar
anteed capacity of the makers, and

that if it does not, the manufacturers
are responsible.
Superintendent Holloway denies also
that there is any truth in the state
ment that the pump is not located in
the most advantageous place, and that
it is to be moved A portion of the
pipeline and sluice, however, are to be
moved in order to get better kind OF
material for the fill
In shutting down the work, as will
have to be done unless some way is de-
vised of supplying money for it pend
ing the time that it may be possible
to raise money by bond issue as per-
mitted by an act of the last Legisla-
ture, Superintendent Holloway says
that the uncompleted structure is per-
fectly safe in its present condition
from possible washouts, and that the
chief deterioration will come from the
timberwork which will rot out rapidly
if left exposed to the air for any great
length of time.
It is understood that Contractor
Whitehouse expects his contract to be
good as soon as money is available,
but this is not the view, apparently Of
any of the Territorial officials, who
hold that the contract is good only so
long as the money lasts which was ap-
propriated for the purpose. It
seems that there is a chance for a hot
legal battle as a result of this differ
ence of opinion

"PRAIRIE SCHOONER"
A BROADWAY SIGHT.
Typical Westerner Drove Team of Oxen
from Pacific Coast, Retracing the
Oregon Trail.

NEW YORK, Sept. ia team of
oxen drawing a prairie schooner" the
driver of which was a rugged-looking
old man who wore typical Western
garb, including a sombrero, attracted
great crowds in Broadway.
The vehicle and the driver were not
only in striking contrast with the jam
of automobiles and carriages on the
Great White Way but they were a
decided novelty in New York.
The driver was Ezra Meeker, a
pioneer of the Oregon trail, who had
returned ove the trail he followed to
the West half a century ago. All along
Riverside drive, from Grants tomb to
Seventy-second street, Meeker was fol-
lowed by an interested and curious
throng. When Broadway was reached
the crowd was so dense that the oxen,
which the hale old man afterward de-
scribed as Dave and Dandy, had a hard
time to make any Roadway. Meeker's
trip ended at last at the Battery. He
had come all the way from Puyallup,
Wash, to New York in 626 days.
Meeker's object in making his unique
journey is to persuade the government
to build a national highway from East
to West.

RABBI AGAINST POPE
REV. SLOVENIAN CRlTlClZES
MODERNISM DECREE.
Also Denounces Physicians and Declares
Practise of Medicine Not a Profess
sion, but a sordid Trade.

NEW YORK, Sept. 19.-Rabbi Joseph Sill
verman, of Temple Emanuel-El, 51 Fifth
avenue, made a strong plea for the ad-
vancement of knowledge in his address to
the congregation at the services held on
the Day of Atonement yesterday. He criti-
cized the Pope for his reactionary ency-
cllcal forbidding the teaching of modern
philosophy in Roman Catholic schools; COIL
demned physicians who made a trade OF
their profession, and deplored the modern
lack of right thinking in the conduct OF
governments
I'VE need more light, learning and cul-
ture,' said the rabbi in his general consid-
Grafton OF the deficiencies of mankind to-
day. I'VE sorely need in this age the light
to true wisdom. True culture and religion
needs the new birth into the light of the
spirit. No wonder prejudice, bigotry, pas
sion and warfare are rampant.
The great potentate of the Roman Cath
Ollie Church has issued to his thousands Of
subjects a decree, declaring that what he
spells by the term modernism and what
others spell by the terms science and phil
osophy. shall be excluded rlgidly from the
churches and the schools.
"He instructs, practically, that the index
expurgatorious Shall exclude all W
for modern things, all reform IN thought.
It is time, high time. I repeat, that the
governments of the great religious organi-
cations should protest against such a de-
cree; a dictum that would tend to shunt
the human race loo years backward, and
make for the UNFOLDING OF a blind faith
that can never bring true happiness to
humanity"
Rabbi Silverman referred to the great
step in the advance of our knowledge that
the acceptance of the Darwinian theory
had brought, but complained that people
have not arisen to the full height of their
intellectual capabilities endowed by the
light of an advanced civilization. He gave
his remarks a practical turn by reference
to the medical profession. He declared
that 1t was not a profession but a trade
that the doctors piled today, and added:
ut is not the practitioner of a profession
who, with his commission to heal from on
high, goes into a household and demands
his fee of $500 or $1,000 before he will apply
the knife to the cancer, the anaesthetic
to the wound, Such practises ought to be
condemned from every pulpit, every rostrum
in the land. The government ought to step
In and prevent them. 1t is not the art of
healing, i reiterate; it is a trade"

TO GRADE Tenement
HOUSE INSPECTORS.
State Commission Decides on Plan to
Increase Their Eficiency-Better
Work Wanted.

In order that a nigh grade of eff
cheney. may be obtained among the in
spectors of tenement houses throughout
the State the members of the State
Tenement House Commission have de-
cided to nave the men graded accord
ing to the degree of efficiency shown
in the examinations held periodically
and the weekly report cards filed at
the Office of the commission in this
city.
The first examination from which the
men will receive their first grading will
be held at thes offices of the commits
sion in this city ON Wednesday, Octo-
Der 9. Other examinations will be held
from time to time.
The two score and odd inspectors,
covering as many districts throughout
the State, assemble in the offices of the
commission once each month, usually
on a Saturday afternoon, at which time
they listen to a lecture and listen to
the Incorporating of various technical
clauses in the tenement house law
under which they act. The men are
assigned to special work; some are con-
stantly engaged in the inspection of
new tenement houses, while others are
assigned to duties on old buildings.
These men are specially instructed in
sections of the law applying specially
to them, although all are instructed as
to the meaning of all clauses of the
law. Any Inspector has the right to
ask as many questions as he desires
for his own enlightenment, and he in
spectors all receive the same instruc-
ton.
These lectures are usually delivered
by Herman Bauer, plan examiner;
Commissioner Clinton Mackenzie or
Secretary Charles j. Allen. After sew
eral lectures a set of examination ques-
tions are written out and submitted to
each inspector on examination day.
The written answers are corrected and
a record made of the percentage OF
efficiency shown by each inspector
These are checked up with the weekly
report cards and n grade of efficiency
is thus established, which, in event OF
a promotion in the office, is considered
by the members of the commission.
