POLICE COURT CASES.

Quite a number of cases were on the
docket this morning at Police Court.
and were disposed of quickly. Sam
Thomas, who was one Of the party
that disturbed the quiet of the night in
Iwilei in the wee small hours of Tues
day morning, pleaded not guilty, but
his story was so conflicting that the
court thought that a fine of 50 and
costs should be imposed, and the court
therefore fined him that amount
The charge of assault and battery
brought by w. r. Sims against Du-
shalsky, police officer, for an assault
supposed to have taken place some
time ago was nolle pressed at the re-
quest Of the county attorney.

GOOD rIMEs HERE.

Down at Haleiwa there are good
times all of the time and the existence
of copper stocks is forgotten among
the good things around there. Man
ager Bidgood has everything in
splendid shape all of the time and the
guests are always pleased with the
rooms, which are mosquito proof, the
table, which is invariably excellent and
the service which rivals that of the
best mainland hotels.

TRENT is
ROASTED
COUNTY TREASURER MUCH CRI.
TICIzED FOR HIS HANDLING OF
PUBLIC FUNDS.

Charles Hustace, chairman of the
Board of Supervisors, emphatically de.
MED this morning that he had had
knowledge all along of the fact that
county money was on deposit in local
banks in the name of the Trent Trust
Company. He declared that on one
recent occasion when he asked Trea-
surer Trent about it, the latter said
that he was under bonds and that it
was none of Hustace's business where
the money was as long as it was avail.
able
Trent is being very severely criti.
cized for his course in the matter. The
county has never received any benefit
of interest on deposits, it is stated,
though it is the custom of some of the
local banks to allow interest, and the
result of the investigation will pro-
badly be an effort to get the benefit
of such policy.
The counting of the County funds
at the Office of the Trent Trust Com
pany. set for eleven thirty this morn

son did not put in an appearance.
Chairman Hustace and Auditor Bick-
nell sat patiently from eleven thirty
until twelve thirty-five in the office Of
the Trent Trust Company waiting for
Oleson. Twelve times the telephone
was used in vain effort to find Ole
son.
Finally Hustace decided that it was
time for him to get back to work and
called the counting bee off until some
future time
The coin was carefully concealed in
canvas bags under one of the desks in
the office, and the eagle eye of the
County Auditor was constantly direct
ed on it.
Hustace when asked what he in
tended to do, replied q will wait until
I have time, and then we will count
the money"
County Treasurer Trent announced
to the waiting officers of the County,
that $4,000 would be available this
month, 100000 from the general fund.

A THOUSAND ARE
STILL NEEDED
HONOLULU HAS NOT YET PUT UP
ENOUGH FOR THE RACING
YACHT

Nearly all the money necessary for
the yacht that will represent Hawaii
next year has been collected, and at
this time only $1,000 is lacking The
donations came in rather briskly yes
terday, and the committee is almost
sure that the full amount will be on
hand.
A number of people who were able
to give but had neglected to give be-
fore, came up with some of the "neces-
sary" yesterday and the committee is
very much pleased. The matter has
been neglected until the last moment,
and then when people realized that the
yacht might have to be given up they
came forward with the money they
had promised. number of people
who had refused to give anything be-
fore, gave their mite yesterday and
the racer is now almost an assured
thing. Several donations have been
promised the committee from people
who have already given something,
but who are anxious to give more.
The names of the people who have
donated to the fund will not be given
out to the rest of the public, as some
might feel hurt. This has been final
ly decided on by the committee.
The plans for the yacht will be here
tomorrow and work will be started at
once.
The yacht should be great success
from every standpoint CrowninshieId
has done his best to make the new
yacht fast as well as safe She is built
for heavy weather, and in case OF a
heavy gale she will probably ride it
out with ease Sorenson and Lyle are
all ready to start work on the yacht,
and are waiting patiently for the plans
tomorrow.
There is still a chance to give some
thing towards the yacht and If any one
has neglected it today or tomorrow is
the time

Captain Orwell is ready to start at
once on the foundations Tor the rear
range light and will build them large
and strong enough to support a struc-
ture of masonry, although Congress
may let it go at a steel tower.
When the work on the front range
light, now under way, reaches a stage
where it is necessary, owing to cut
ting out the present light and Che sand
spit upon which it stands at the inner
mouth of the harbor, a light will be
placed on the rear range, either by
some temporary affair, should there be
hope of securing authorization for a
better edifice than originally intended,
or, if it appears that the steel struc-
ture will be permanent, by going ahead
with the steel structure the materia,

About the first of January Captain
Orwell will be ready to start dredging

BIBLE NOT Fl
FOR CHILDREN
HEAD OF CHICAGO SCHOOL BOARD
REFUSES TO PERMIT 1T TO BE
TAUGHT IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

CHICAGO H., Oct 1.-THE prob
lem of religious instruction in the
public schools was put up to President
Otto c. Schneider, of the Chicago
board of education, yesterday.
President Schneider met the issue
squarely, so squarely, indeed, as to
bring a gasp of establishment from the
two club women who had preached
the subject.
Il believe with Jean Jacques Rous-
seau," said Mr.. Schneider, that reli-
gion should notfbe taught to anyone,
in any form, until his or her mind is
mature. AS for the Bible in the pub
lie schools, l object to it, 1t is not fit
for children"
President Schneider's visitors were
Mrs. Elizabeth Cook, president of the
Women's Educational Union, and Mrs.
Clarence A. Starr, a prominent club
woman and educational worker. The
two wanted to ask the presidents aid
in securing the Introduction of a boon
of Bible readings in the curriculum OF
the Chicago schools
Il would not object to a history of
the Bible in the schools as a MASTER
piece of literature" President Schnei-
der told the women. 1T should be
there, the same as Byron's poems or
any other of the great masterpieces.
And for the same reason l should be
glad to have on the reading list a
history of the Koran, or of the rell-
gion of Confucius. or of Buddha.
But as for teaching the Bible in
the public schools of Chicago-it would
be against the constitution"
Religious instruction never has beer
introduced in the schools, the schoor
authorities feeling that no system of
religious training could be adapted to
the innumerable sects and religious
represented in the city's population. In
addition, as suggested by President
Schneider, legal question is involved.

SNEDES ARE HURT
BY THE ANSWER
REPLY OF NEW YORK YACHT.
CLUB OFFENDs DIGNITY OF
CHALLENGERs FOR THE CUP.

STOCKHOLM, Oct. 1.-THE royal
Swedish yacht club met yesterday to
discuss the reply of the New YORK.
Yacht Club to it's inquiry as to the
conditions under when challenge
for the Americas cup would be con-
sidered. After a long debate, in which
it was emphasized that the New York
Club had not given a clear reply to the
questions whether the length of the
competing vessels could be fixed at
seventy feet, it was agreed to await
settlement of this point. A further
meeting has been fixed for Oct 81.
William Olson, one of the prime
movers in the movement to challenge
for the cup, said:
Il and all other members of the
Royal Swedish Yacht Club are greatly
surprised and hurt at the sighting
manner in which the New York Yacht
Club replied to our communication and
the failure of that club to answer in
plain language Sweden's civil inquiry
as to wether it was willing to race
with seventy-foot boats.
I'VE mean business and we are not
trihing. We hope that the two millions
of Swedes in America will back us up
in our enterprise"
After the meeting of the club, Rear
Admiral Haigg, commodore Of the or
ganization, said
Perhaps we did not put the queg-
ton plainly to the New York Yacht
Club, but we are anxious to know
whether a challenger for the cup
should be a seventy-foot boat and
whether the defender also would meas
ure seventy feet, or if the defender be
ninety feet long, or whether the New
York Yacht Club would allow handi-
cap corresponding with this difference.
From the deed of gift and the reso-
lutions referred to we would infer that
no handicap will be allowed, but we
must have a positive and unequivocal
reply on this point before we can go
further. We mean business, but we
must know definitely the size of the
boat in order to get the required sum
guaranteed before making the formal
challenge"

Of STANDARD OIL
AN OHIO INVESTIGATION UN-
EARTHS A LONDON CORPORA
TON WHICH is IN IT

NEW YORK, Oct. Information
that may aid Attorney General Wade
Ellis, of Ohio, in his investigation of
the relations of the Manhattan Oil
Company of Ohio, and the Standard
Oil Company was brought out in the
hearing of the federal suit against the
oil combine today, when F. T. Cuth-
bert, president of the Manhattan Com
pany, was called as a witness. Mr..
Cuthbert is the son of the late John
Cuthbert, who was associated with the
Standard and who, it has been testi-
fed, had much to do with the making
of the contract whereby the Chicago
and indianapolis Gas companies, con-
trolled by e. c. Benedict and Anthony
N Brady, obtained a constant oil sup
ply from the Standard as a part con-
sideration for the sale of the Manhat-
tan company. Mr.. Cuthbert said his
father, previous to his connection with
the Manhattan, was a director of the
Tidewater Pipe Line Company The
witness said he became president OF
the Manhattan in 1902. Previous to
that he was an auditor of the COM
panX Mr.. Cuthbert described at length
the physical aspects of the Manhattan,
Mr.. Cuthbert said that the Manhat-
tan company was only doing a pipe
line business at present. In 1901 the
Manhattan sold it's refinery to the So
lar Refining Company, it's oil produc-
ton to Ohio Oil Company and the tank
care to the Union Tank line.
All three companies the witness said,
he understood were controlled by the
Standard. The pipe system of the
Manhattan Company was connected
with the pipe line of the Brooklyn
Pipe Line Company in Ohio, and with
the Indiana Pipe Line Company in In
diana. Mr.. Cuthbert testified that the
capital stock of the Manhattan, after
its purchase, was gradually reduced
from $2,OOO,OOO to $15O,OOO.
Who owns the Manhattan com
pany?"
THE General Industrial Develop
ment Syndicate of London owns 1,495
shares and the qualifying directors the
other five shares" replied Mr. Cuth'
bert
rs that an English company?''
yes 1.-THE managing director is eHr,
bert w. Johnson, of London, ana J. w
r. Francis, Of London, is secretary
said Mr., Cuthbert, who added that he
voted all the stock of the Manhattan
company by power of attorney.
Mr.. Cuthbert said the books Of thu
Manhattan were kept in Lima, Ohio
The London company owned the In
diana Pipe Line and Refining Com
pany, of Indiana, he said.

OIL BURNERS
FOR WARSHIPS
DELAWARE AND NORTH DAKO1 A
POWER FURNISHING DEVICE.

WASHINGTON Oct 9.-The two
new 2O,OOO-ton battleships, the Della
ware and North Dakota, which are
now under contract, will have prOvi-
sion made for the use Of oil as an aux
Hilary fuel, and besides this they will
be the very best in modern naval con-
struction. 1t is the confident belief OF
the navy department that they will be
the finest fighting machines ever con-
structed, and that they will embOdy
many devices never before seen on
war vessels.
The Navy Department a few years
ago" said Secretary of the Navy Met
calf yesterday conducted some very
exhaustive experiments with oil and
oil burners in this city AS a result of
those experiments, it has been decided
to fit up the monitor Wyoming to burn
oil and to install oil burners on the
Delaware and North Dakota, which
will carry fuel oil in the compart-
ments between their double bottoms.
The ships will have a coal capacity of
about 2500 tons, and they will carry
about $50 tons of oil, which is estimat-
ed to be equal to some 900 tons OF the
best coal. This fuel will give a steam
ing radius of approximately 5000 or
1000 miles, which means that the ships
could go under moderate speed for
twenty-five days or more"
