Republicans Plan Apportionment

ALBANY, April 24.-Republican leaders
IN the senate have practically agreed on a
plan for the reapportionment of senatorial
districts, rendered necessary by the recent
decision of the court of appeals Only
slight concessions are made to those who
protested against the plan practically to
re-enact the old apportiOnment. changing
only the districts directly condemned by
the court.
Senator Raines. majority leader in tho
upper house, has held conferences recently
with many upstate leaders, and the plan
outlined as a result would leave the up
state districts in exactly the shape they
are at present and only change some of the
districts along the Hudson and adjacent to
New York city. The unit of population on
which the senatorial district is based is
132,215 The two counties together have a
population of 1O7.6s1. Queens, which Is
democratic by large majority, would be
made into a separate district.

need Of a tonic Of some sort. and there are not
few favorIte spring tonic formulas treasured al
most as heirooms in old families. Some Of these

the public good. but their holders are in most
cases loath to give them wide publicity. A thor

the work required of Spring medicine and to
do it quickly and agreeably is composed of 4 OF.

HOLD FINAL MEETING TODAY
LEAGUE OF ARCHITECTS CON-
CLUDEs BUSINESS HERE.
Election of President and Choice of
Next Meeting Plsce-Ban-
quet Tonight.

The final meeting of the Architectural
League was held this morning at the New
Willard and Detroit was selected as the
next place of meeting. There was con-
siderable discussion over this question
there being a strong bid from Chicago,
where the Institute of Architects will hold
us annual meeting in December. Some of
the members wanted to make it a joint
meeting, and there was quite an eloquent
plea for this action from Max Dunning
OF the Chicago Club. But on the final vote
Detroit Won out and Mr.. Dunning said he
did not doubt the league would be just as
We'll cared for there as in Chicago, and
he >poted to make the decision unanimous
which was done
The most important action was the cleo
tlon OF a president for the coming wear
the choice falling on ]. p Hynes of To-
ronto, one of the Canadian delegates. After
the appointment of committees the session
adjourned.
Inc last business will be wholly informal
IN the shape of banquet at the Willard
tonight, when there will be an address from
Commissioner West
Call at the White House.
The members of the league had a busy
time yesterday afternoon. They started
from the hotel Immediately after luncheon
IN some of the big sightseeing autos and
mad snort spin, winding up at the White
House at 2:3o, where they had an appoint
ment President Roosevelt met the Wis
1tors cordially and before shaking hands
with them individually he said:
Gentlemen, just word by way of

Interesting Personality.

interesting 1SISOud1lty
Naturally the greatest interest attached
to the great legacy, aside from the wide
spread effect that the income will have
upon the struggle to solve the negro prob
lem along educational lines, is how this
aged Philadelphia Quakeress, noted for
her transformations bestowal of thousands
in a manner closely linked with her family
ties and religious belief, has become so
interested in this problem as to devote d
million dollars to the cause.
Miss Jeanes declined to emerge from her
room even to say one word when news
paper representatives called to see her to-
night.
Mr.. Washington, at the Windsor Hotel,
excused himself from explanation as to
the causes leading up to the bequest. He
said:
Miss Jeanes has contemplated making
this gift for long time, many years, in
fact More than that l cannot say, as 1t
would bring my personality into the mat
ter, and that / do not wish"
He declined to talk further along this
line, leaving it to be inferred that the gift
was the result of long and persuasive ar
guments upon his part and that Of others
interested in negro education.
This is the largest single gift that has
been made to my people in twenty years, -
said Mr.. Washington The same amount
was then given by John F. Slater of Nor
witch, Conn.,, for educational purposes.
This, however was for the specific pur-
pose of aiding the larger institutions"
The news spread among the members
of the Hicksite branch of the Society of
Friends, through the medium of the home
where Miss Jeanes is spending her decln-
ing days. Surprise seemed to be mingled
with alarm. Miss Jeanes Is regarded as
city Her wealth has been regarded as
somewhere about four or five millions.
But when it was learned that she had
given away a million to the negroes for
southern educational purposes and that
she had regretted that the announcement
| of the gift was made public her fellow
| Friends began to wonder If she had given
| the rest of her fortune away quietly and
| If her dwelling in Hicksite Home would
| be now a matter of necessity.
The deed of gift was executed yester-
day, and in it Mr.. Washington and Mr.
| Frissell are empowered to appoint a board
| of trustees in connection with the fund

Lives in Friends HON :.

1t was In the nome iIldl silc Sileiito ny
choice with many other aged Friends, TO
whom size has been a benefactor, that MISS
Jeanes yesterday signed the deed of trust.
The home is for the old members of the
Hicksite branch of the faith, Washington
lane and Green street Germantown.
Although still retaining her city home at
No. 1923 Arch street, Hiss Jeanes prefers
to live in this comfortable suburban insti-
tuition Those who dwell with her are thus
like members of the family of their aged
benefactress, who is literally without rela-
tives, being the last of her lineage.
Her father was Isaac Jeanes, one time
merchant of this city. The family home
stead was at Fox Chase, where she ana her
four brothers continued TO live until thirty
wears ago, the inherited fortune having
been meanwhile increased to millions. Jo-
seph Samuel and Joshua Jeanes all follow
ed in their fathers footsteps, while Jacob
became a physician.
In 1913 Jacob Jeans helped found Hahne-
mann Medical College, his fellow founders
being Dr.. Constantine Herring and Dr.
Walter Williamson, and to this institution,
in memorial Miss Jeanes has given many
thousands of the millions that she became
possessed of after her brothers death.
To the Friends Charities she has also
given many thousands. Always has she
made these gifts in memory of her brothers,
as if she regarded herself surviving stew
ard Of a great trust fund. 1t is estimated
that she has thus previously given away
at least a million dollars, an amount SINH
lar to that which with one effort Of her
faehla fingers he signed AWAY YESTERDAY,

10 De devoted 10 community, COull-
try and rural schools for colOred
people in the south.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa. April c4.-Miss
Anna T. Jeanes. philanthropist, has given
a million dollars to the negro race in this
country for educational purposes. Miss
Jeanes is the last of the noted Philadelphia
family of Friends and declared last night
that she regretted very mu~h chat news of
her gift had become public.
To Booker 7. Washington, president Of
-Tuskegee Agricultural and Industrial 1nsti-
tute, and to DR.. Hollis Burke Fossell, prin-
cipal of Hampton Industrial and Agricul-
tural Institute, the million dollars Is con-
veyed and the administration of the income
is to be in the hands of board of trustees
soon to be appointed.
1t is expressly stipulated that the income
is to be devoted to community, country
and rural schools for cOlored people in the
SOUTH" and Mr.. Washington gives assur-
ance that this will in no way be construed
to mean that even a small portion can be
spent upon the Tuskegee or Hampton In
stitute.
Mr. Washington believes that at least
$4,000 year will be thus added to the ed
ucation of his people in the south, it being
stipulated by Miss Jeanes that OF the lin
cipal investment be made in government
bonds, bonds of the states of Pennsylvania
New York, Massachusetts, Virginia and of
cities of these states of more than half
million population.
Much of the million is already thus in
vested by Miss Jeanes, he says, but how
much is in other securities he declines to

ter at all, saying he has nothing to
give out to the public.
Governor Carter has required all
the heads of departments to make a
final report to him, from which he
will make up his report to the Pres
ident. Some, If not all, of these re-
ports are now in the hands of the
Acting Governor, who has been urg-
ing the others to get theirs in as
soon as possible, and it is possible
that this matter was considered.
The outgoing administration, of
course, has a good many matters to
get into shape to turn over to the in
coming officials, and there are good
many loose ends to be gathered up.
This might also be good reason for
calling a cabinet meeting.
1t has also been suggested that the
row over the Queens hospital may
have been brought to the attention
of the Cabinet. All these, however,
are only surmises, the proceedings
having so far been kept secret.
The Cabinent of department heads
will give Governor Carter a dinner
when he returns.

Sheriff Iaukea this noon. Il find that
it is, especially in the Oriental section

that it must hereafter be enforced.
The law is not so stringent as to make
it hardship for anyone to observe it.

carried out
The statute referred to by the Sher-
iff reads as follows:
mo person shall place, leave or de-
posit in any street, lane or alley, or

Honolulu, any goods, wares or mer-
chandise, or any substance or material

HABEAS CORPUS
CASE ARGUED
BEFORE Dole

An argument on technical points
was the phase of the Madeira habeas
corpus matter which came up before
Judge Dole this morning. Amelia ia
Silva Madeira and the other sister OF
the Portuguese immigrant who is seek-
ing release from the custody OF the
immigration authorities and permls-
zion to land officially in Honolulu ana
become a resident of this Territory,
were present in court, but the prisoner
was not brought in.
Attorneys Watson and Douthitt, rep
resenting the ptitioner, objected to the
return to the writ made by United
States District Attorney Breckons on
the ground that it was an answer 10
the petition itself rather than a proper
return to the writ, as required by law.
Watson moved to strike out large
part of it as surplus matter.
Breckons accused the attorneys for
the petitioner of dilatory tactics cal
culated to delay the matter in spite or
the fact that they had seemed to be IN
such hurry in the first place.
Judge Dole announced that he would
give his decision on the motion at 8
o'clock this afternoon. The case has
not yet come up on its merits. but 1t
will probably do SO next Monday.
Judge Dole states that he has no
power to review the finding of the
Special Board of Inquiry that branded
Guilherme da Silva Madeira an unde-
sirable alien immigrant, except in SO
far as the Board may have acted con-
trary to the law. The Judge can,
however, order that the petitioner be
allowed an appeal to the Secretary OF
Commerce and Labor If he has been
refused such right.

MAUI MAN WtDS
HONOLULU BRIDE

The marriage last night OF Mr.. Will
liam Tougher and Miss Lilly Adele
Murray at the home of the brides
mother, Mrs. Ellen Murray, on Ano-
punt street, was very pretty event
that was followed by most delight
ful reception. Between and O'Clock
the contracting couple, standing be-
meath a beautiful green and white
bower of MALE pepper and day lilies,
facing an arch enshrouded in green
verdage and double daisies, were
united in wedlock by Rev. Bishop
Tibert
The bride wore beautiful imported
wedding gown of jsuji silk over crepe
de chine, trimmed with real lace. Her
bridesmaid was gowned in a blue Lib
erty silk and she carried boquet OF
pink caraations and was almost as
much admired as was the pretty bride.
The groom was attired in the usual
black, and acting with him as best
man was Edward Keeney of Puunenee.
Maui Chas. Murray, an elder brother,
gave the bride away.
The groom's present to the bride was
pretty gold pendant necklace with
several jade stone settings. The otner
presents were numerous, costly and
beautiful, there being thirty-three
pieces of cut glass alone and much sill
verware and statuette or two OF most
unique design and beauty. And OF
course there was the usual "joker" In
the form of rattle and rolling pin.
Attending the wedding reception
were two hundred of the happy
couples friends. Every conceivable
effort had been made for their enter
tainment, and they certainly were
pleased. Stationed on the mauka
/ lawn and lanai of the residence a
rtringed instrument band kept up the
strains of good music constantly 10
this many of the guests danced. The
newly married couple, attempting to
do so, were driven to retreat by a
shower of rice with which they were
playfully assailed from the hands of
their friends.
The refreshments were superb and
various, the liquid kind ranging from
light punch to champagne, which,
with sandwiches and ice cream, were
at the disposal of the guests during
the entire evening.
| After the reception the bride and
groom were driven up Manoa Valley
to Governor Carriers valley residence,
where they will remain until Tuesday
going then on the Kinau to the vol
cano for honeymoon stay OF three
weeks. After this they will go to
Puunenee, Maui, where Mr.. Tougher
mas arranged home for himself and
bride, and where his many friends are
waiting to welcome them on their
coming.
Central Maui has received several
brides from Honolulu this spring, but
none were more welcomed than will
be this last one.
