BIC DAMAGES
GIVEN W|TH0FF
(From Sundays Advertiser.)

Judge Dole yesterday rendered an
opinion and decision in the suit of
Henry Witthof, first officer of the
barkenrne Fullerton, against the bark
entine, awarding damages larger in
amount, probably, than We're ever be-
fore awarded for personal injuries by
any court in the islands, whether in
an admiralty proceeding or in any
other.
The award was for $17,5OO for per-
sonal injuries received while on a yoy-
age from San Francisco to Kihei.
When the Fullerton, in tow of the
Lansing, was about 600 miles from Port
Hartford and 1900 miles from Kihei the
towline, which was chain cable,
started to slip over the windlass of the
Fullerton and Witthof attempted to
prevent its slipping by lashing the line
to the towing bitt. He was injured
by the further slipping of the chain,
and the slipping of the chain was due
to the fact that its links were too long
to fit into the compartments of the
wildcat or windlass. Witthof asked
the captain to put about to Port Har-
ford SO that he could receive medical
and surgical attendance, his right arm
having some of the bones broken and
the muscles and ligaments torn and
bruised. The captain refused to do so
but went on to Kihei where it was
found necessary to amputate the arm
at the shoulder.
Judge Dole finds that the accident
was due to the negligence Of the agents
of the ship in sending her to sea with
this imperfect and dangerous equip
ment, also that the captain did wrong
in refusing to put back to Port Har-
ford for surgical assistance to the first
mate. He finds from the testimony
that Witthof's earning capacity has
been reduced probably two-thirds, and
under the computations of the expect
ancy of life and earning ability he is
entitled to s14,S16.95; and for the agony
and sufferings of body and mind an
other sum making in all S17,5OO

there it went to the Interior Depart
ment, which decided on it favorably,
stating that after the putting into
operation Of the segregation law of
japan, which will be in April next,
the Hawaiian Japanese lepers would
be received and cared for.
The Honolulu. japanese Benevolent
society is prepared to pay the trans
portation expenses of these people and
will try to arrange for passage for
them on some of the steamers. It is
said that some of the patients at Ka-
laupapa are able and willing to pay
their own transportation expenses,
having earned and saved from two to
four hundred dollars apiece.
At the present time the local Japa-
nese are collecting money and presents
for their countrymen at Molokai in
order that they may be able becom-
ingly to celebrate the birthday of the
Emperor, which celebration occurs on
November 3. These presents are be-

The Japanese government has sig
nified its willingness to receive and
care for all japanese lepers which
may be at present in the charge of the
Board of Health of Hawaii or who
may be adjudged at any later time to
be afflicted with the disease. This
will mean that the eleven japanese
lepers now at Kalaupapa will be sent
to Japan if any means of securing

all Japanese lepers and suspects back
to their native land, but until the
japanese government would consent to
receiving them openly President Pink

down the hinted suggestion that he
might allow these lepers to escape"
and be forwarded to Japan by their
friends. The Japanese committee then
took the matter up with Consul Gen.

A FAST WORKING
j. s. GRAND JURY

The present federal grand jury is
said to be the most rapid working
grand jury ever impanelled in this Ter
ritory. 1t has worked much faster than
was expected and has run out of wit
nesses two or three times and kept the
U. S. Marshal hustiing TO serve
subpoenas that it was thought it would
not be necessary to issue for some
time. The subpOenas are issued so as
to impose as little hardship as possi-
BILE on the witnesses, and so that thew
will not have to spend any more time
than is necessary. But the grand Jury
has examined witnesses faster than was
expected, and has done an immense
amount of work.
1t is quite probable that a partial
report to the court may be made this
morning and that a number of inGiet-
ments will be returned. Among the
eases heard are a number of Illicit dis
tilling cases from various islands: the
Ayres case for alleged sending Of i'm
proper matter through the mails; and
yesterday the charges against J. Roseu-
burg of receiving stolen property were
taken up. AT the time the accusations
were first made against him several
youths confessed that thew stole brass
and other metal and sold to him.
A considerable number of witnesses
from Hawaii and Maui are expected
Dy the steamers this morning.

SCHOOL CITY
At THE ROYAL

Municipal government is already in
operation in Honolulu. John Lane and
Wallach have both been distanced in
their mayOralty ambitions.
Up at the Royal School on upper En-
ma street school city is now in actual
and successful operation. Principal
Davis inaugurated it some time ago
and so far 1t is working admirably. ,
The school city is the application
of government to the administra-
tion of school, by the methods of a
municipality. All pupils in the school
city are voters. They elect officers
for the purpose of carrying on the main
tenanee of order, the punishment of in
fractions of the rules of decorum and
the administration of the school on
other than its scholastic side. There is
an assembly of the pupils at regular
intervals at which the problems and
the matters of school discipline and
administration are discussed. There is
a Board of Supervisors holding regular
sessions and enacting needed rules.
There is police force to enforce the
rules enacted by the supervisors and
there is a police court meeting every
day IN which those charged with of
FENCES against the rules enacted by the
Board, are tried and sentenced. The
sentences are mainly to serve for GER
tam periods in cleaning up the school
grounds. The police force is said to
be very efficient one. The pupils en-
ter into the school city government with
enthusiasm and earnestness.
The DOlice officers of tba So,o1 -,
have badges, and to each is assigned
certain portion of the school grounds
to patrol. In the morning pupils, at the
hour for opening the school, form in
rank ana fiie in to the school yard, sa-
lutte the flag, and enter the school rooms
IN an orderly way, being marshalIed
thereto by the officers of the school
elty. Offences are regularly tried in
the school police court.
Former Governor Carter spent a fore
noon in this school city the other day
with Superintendent of Public Iustruc-
ton Babbitt. He made an address to
the school assembly and also to the
Board of Supervisors of the school. He
expressed himself as very much pleas
ed with what he saw OF the workings
of the plan.
This is not the first introduction of
the school city into the schools of Ha-
wall 1t was introduced in a school on
one OF the other islands last year and
worked so well that Principal Davis
IN charge of the Royal School intro
duced it in his school, and it is work
ing admirably there. Superintendent
Rabbit is quite enthusiastic over If
1t viii be introduced in other schools
as principals and teachers are WILLING
to take it up and inaugurate it.

Unless J. Lor Wallach should ge
into Heaven it is unlikely that he will
ever have such a perfectly happy time
again as he had last night. He was
surrounded by Territorial Senators ano
Representatives, the government band
was out to do him honor, Supervisors
laid friendly hands on his shoulders,
leis were hung about his neck and
flowers presented to him, while before
the stand on which he proudly sat
were from two to three thousand peo-
pie gathered to see and hear him. The
mass meeting called by the Hawaiian
leaders was a big success from the
Wallach standpoint and the healer,
who received the cheers and plaudits
of the crowd and upon whose head
the various orators poured their trib-
utes of eloouence, eXuded satisfaction
from every pore.
There was a little fly in the oint-
ment, however, and that was that the
politicians wanted to choke him off
from making a speech. He refused to
be choked or muzzled, however, and
did his little stunt, somewhat modified
and toned down, it is true, as a result
of the talking he got from Lane,
Harvey, Mossman and others out on
the back steps of the platform. For
one thing he had nothing to say about
Pinkham and the Board Of Health and
for another thing he made no mention
of the jealous medical fraternity. IF
you have TO speak, for Gods sake
leave the doctors alone" admonished
Harvey, and he remembered the ad-
vice.
Before seven o'clock last night the
Hawaiians began to gather in Aala
park for the mass meeting called to
pass a resolution asking the Board Of
Health to consider Wallach's claims as
a leper curer and give him an oppor- |
tunity to demonstrate his remedies. |
The county band, for which Wallach |
had asked and which Supervisor Har- !
vey had got for him, played while the
crowd was gathering, led by John |
Naone, and by half past seven the |
platform was well filled with represen-
tative Hawaiians. Among these were
Frank Harvey, Hon. A. S. Kaleicpu, |
Hon. Chas. K. Motley, Judge ]. L.
J. NJ. Poepoe, William |
White, Senator John C. Lane, H. j.
A. Fernandez, n. Fernan-
dez,. Hon. ]. Kalana, Supervisor Joe
Fern, Senator Charles Chillingworth,
John Wise, Eli Crawford, Editor Like
and others.
Wallach, as he entered and stood in
the limelight, was greeted by hand
clapping from the crowd and an en-
velope was handed him by someone on
the platform. He peered into it, but
instead of pulling out an expected
lemon produced a bunch of violets tied
with a bit of white ribbon. The card
the boutonniere was in
scribed with the words: "a token of
owe from friend-Emma." The iden-
.ity of Emma was not disclosed by the
healer, but he caresse3 the blossoms

were heaped on him, show

Wallach was loudly cheered again
as he concluded and the meeting was
over.

WATERHOUsE To
MAKE LONG TRIP

| When asked for information con-
cerning his prospective trip to Ceylon
| and the Malay States on behalf OF
the rubber industry of this Territory,
yesterday, F. T. P. Waterhouse said:
1t has not yet been definitely de-
clded that l am to go as the repre-
sentative of the rubber companies, but
am, at any rate, going to Singapore,
at my own expense, to look over the
work being done on rubber plantations
in which 1 and other Honolulu men
are interested. The first plantation
which 1 shall visit is that of the Tan
jong Olok Rubber Company, which is
located in the state of Jehore, and of
which the officers are as follows: Dr.
E. c. Waterhouse, president A. NJ.
McBryde, vice president; F. T. P. Wa
terhouse, secretary and treasurer; G.
N. Wilcox, F. B. Damon, C. r. Hem
enway and E. H. Wodehouse, direc-
tors.
The capital stock of the company
Is $4,000 of which $4,000 is paid in.
We have 1000 acres of rubber land, of
which $50 are planted in Hevea and
450 has been cleared and is ready to
plant. The land is under a paid-up
lease for 999 years and the planting Of
trees was started a year ago.
ION the Pahang company's proper
ty, which 1 will also visit, and whose
officers are the same as 1 have men
toned, with the exception of E. A
Knudsen and c. H. Cooke, on the
board of directors, in place of F. B.
Damon and E. H. Wodehouse, we have
1000 acres of land. This is under a
lease for 999 years but we have to pay
a yearly rental. Here we have $50
acres planted and 300 acres more were
cleared and ready for planting on
August 1 of the present year.
THE chief reason that 1 expect to
be sent on to Ceylon is that in that
island the only Ceara which has been
a success has been raised. In the 4
Malay states practically only Hevea
has been planted. A few years ago,
for some unaccountable reason, Ceara
trees got black eye, but of late they
have recovered, and at the auction
sales of rubber held in London last
August the Ceara product got the
highest price, a little over S1.40 per
pound.
"I expect to leave here during the !
middle of November and will be away |
for some time, picking up all the in |
formation which / can which will be |
of use, particularly in regard to the i
of the rubber from the tree, |
which we know little about at present. !
Labor will be a matter which l shall !
investigate closely, as upon that de- J

this Territory. We know that we can /,
grow the trees and that they will pro-

we can collect it at a small cost. Ev- |
erything which will help towards a |
saving in this line 1 want to find out |
about.

ing that if the Board of Health would
not let Wallach treat lepers Of their
own account it must be compelled to
bow to the will of the people. The
number of Hawaiians present at the
meeting showed that this was mat
ter upon which the Hawaiian people
were unanimous. not a party question
but one dealing with the welfare Of
the race.
He was followed by a large number
of speakers, including Charley Motley,
who bore personal testimony to the
worth of Wellach's remedies. The
speakers were c. K. Motley, ]. Kalana,

The speeches were very similar. All
united in calling for Wailach, the
whole Wallach and nothing but Wal

way expressed any doubt but that
wallach could and would perform his
miracles if given a chance, and all de-
