lost their power and with them the
complete and systematic knowledge
of most Of the gods and most of the
ceremonial were forgotten. What
was left was tumble and confu
sion of the old system, mere scraps
of the ancient ceremonial and rit
ual, but most of the superstition.
And this tumble aud these scraps
are modern Kahuanism. A Ka-
huna in ancient days was a priest
as well as physician, for what
ever of medicine was known was
known by the Kahunas. In these
modern days the Kahuna is a doc
tor and sometimes a witch. AS
Americans look on it as unlucky to
walk under a ladder or to begin an
enterprise on Friday, it is not sur
prising that the Hawaiians should
still hold to many of their ancient
approximations These affect the
highest as we'll as the lowest.
King kalakaua attempted in a
large measure to restore the old
system. The queen is believed to
both fear and use the power of the
kahunas, and one of her retainers
has been known for years as her
Kahuna, consulted in sickness and
invoked to use his supernatural
power in times of difficulty.
There Is an ancient Heiau or
temple on the island of Molokai
where it is known that sacrifices
to the ancient gods are secretly but
frequently amde. Less frequent
sacrifices and rites are performed
at other ancient and ruined Heiaus.
In every community there are rec
oSnized kahunas, though the prac-
tice of their rites is secret because
against the law.

SCULPTOR ENDS TASK

PARIS, May 10.-Paul w. Bart
lett, the American sculptor, has
just finished the statue of Lafayette
presented to France by the school
children of America, and which was
inaugurated in plaster during the
1900 Paris exhibition in the court
of the Louvre.
After the Inauguration, Bartlett
was not quite pleased with the
statue and decided to make impor-
tant changes before casting the
bronze.
He has been at work on it ever
since and has just finished his la
Dor. The new Lafayette is repre-
scented as quite boyish and filled
with a sort of mystic inspiration.

HONOLULU May 10-Kahunaism
among the native Hawaiians has
increased to such an alarming ex-
tent of late as to have attracted
the attention and called for the in
vestigatiOn of the police and grand
iurieS in some Of the counties.
Kahunaism is generally describ-
ed as the Hawaiian practice of sor-
Gerry or witchcraft, especially in the
treatment of the sick and in ward
ing off the secret influence of enc
mics or In influencing for good or
evil friends or enemies.
However, this gives only an i'm
perfect idea OF it. 1t Is really the
ruins of the elaborate system Of
mythology and ceremonial which
prevailed among the Hawaiians at
the time of the discovery of the
islands in 177S by Capt. Cook. As
among all primitive people, the
priests were the doctors as we'll
Religion and medicine were com
bined. The system of belief and
ceremonial had been built up
through centuries, and while de-
taile6- and oppressive, was fairly
consistent. The Hawaiian pantheon
contained thousands Of gods of va
rious degrees of power, and having
under their care various callingS
and pursuits. Every district and
village, every family and trade had
its god. There were shark gods
and fish gods, gods of the bird
catchers and gods of the netmak-
ers and gods of the poi Founders.
With the introduction of civil.
zation and Christianity this elabor-
ate system broke down. The priests

mate, Reulbach, alone topped this

His fielding record is just as re-

POLITICAL DOCUMENT FULL
OF ERRORS SAYS HARRIMA

Of SAL >
New York, July 1S.+Mr. Hartman,
speaking by telephone from Arden to-
night said:
From what | am told the report is
political document and part of a
personal pursuit Of me. The tone OF
the report and the method of its pro-
mitigation show that. Imagine a court
or any judicial body sending copies OF
its decisions around secretly to news
paper publishers DAYS in advancey un-
der pledge to publish 1t simultaneously
Sunday morning. That is what the
commission did. Their opinion was
put in type several days ago and sent
to newspapers throughout the country
with the following printed in bold
| type at the head:
Confidential To all newspapers:
This report is released for publication
on Sunday morning, July IA, 1907, and
not before
"It is deemed good politics to at
tack me. But | can stand such at
tacks much better than the people OF
the country can stand that sort of pro
lcedure on the part Of the government
! tribunals charged with the duty of inn
partially administering the laws.
II shall study it carefully and have
something to say about 1t later. But
| from what l am told it Is full Of
strange misstatements of facts. For
example, in reference to the Chicago
and Alton 1t says that ! caused about
$12,000,000 to be credited to con-
struction expenditures in order to find
an excuse for borrowing money to pay
dividends. AS a matter of fact that
was a written recommendation made
| by President FELTON, when | was In
Alaska and 1t was adopted by the
board of directors at a meeting at
which | was not present. Again. 1t Is
said that a certain method of account
| ing that was carried out would have
the effect of covering up the payment
of the dividend thereby intimating
some wrongful concealment. This Is
most extraordinary statement, for
the writer of the report TO make when
| Il Is considered that the stockholders
necessarily knew of the dividend be-
cause every one received his share and
when it was published In every finan-
cial journal of the time, and was re-
ported to the stock exchange and
shown on its printed lists The sug-
! gestion. therefore of any reason or de-
sire for concealment is most unfair
II am informed by those who have
examined ii more carefully that the
article is full of errors as glaring and
inexcusable as these, but | shall read
| 1t carefully and make a full state
ment about it, particularly of my con-
nection with the Chicago and Alton
readjustment In a few days"
