CINCINNATI LAID
UP FOR REPAIRS

VALLEJO, September flowing to
the fact that the Cincinnati, which ar
rived here from the Orient few days
ago, is in need of repairs, a recon-
mendation has been made from this
yard to the Navy Department in
Washington that she be placed out of
commission here. This action has been
taken as the result of surveys held on
her since her arrival, which show that
the repairs necessary to put her in
first-class condition for sea are such
that they could not be done to advan-
tage while she is on the active list.
The Cincinnati has been IN commits
sion continuously since 1901. It is ex-
pected that the repairs to her viii
mean much for work at this yard. In
the event of her being placed out or
commission her crew win be trans
ferred 70 the California.

LAWYER TOUTS and
RUNNERS IRE BUSY

It is stated that business is dull
among certain of the legal practition-
ers of Honolulu. In the Correa divorce
case in the Circuit Court a number of
lawyers appeared as witnesses to that
effect and if any further proof were
needed it can be found any day and
at almost any hour in the receiving sta
ton of the police building. Here law
yers' runners hang around to watch the
arrests and eagerly sean the records
made on the blotter after the big doors
slam together behind everyone brought
down in the hurry-up wagon. The I'M
portant thing on the blotter for the
runners comes under the head of re-
Marks In this column is put down
list of the articles taken away from
the locked-up ones during the search,
which is always preliminary to the
locking up.
.'John Jones, 2916, Leal, knife,
watch, punch beys, $410,' is a sample
of what may be seen on the blotter
and is interpreted to mean that Jones
has had little trouble and has been
run in by Joe Leal, in his pockets be-
ing sundry articles and cash to the
extent of four big dollars and dime.
This is the kind of an item that pleases
the waiting runner. There is Jones in
trouble and money in sight. Off he
posts for the particular attorney for
whom he works and in most cases the
limb of the law is back close on the
runners heels and demanding the law
yer IS privilege of seeing Jones. Jones
is brought forth and it is explained
to him that if he hands over the four
dollars and the ten cents it will be
possible to get a bond for him. In
most cases Jones comes through and a
ten-dollar bail is put up. If he wants
to forfeit this in preference to appear
ing in court he can fix it with the at
torney for consideration, or if he
wants to fight he has already paid a
part of retaining fee.
This is the regular practise. For
merly, it is said, the police officers
used to notify their particular lawyers
when a man with money was in the
tolls, but this practise has been frown-
ed down by the present sheriff.
A short time ago a prisoner was be-
ing defended in an assault and battery
case and it was brought out during the
evidence that he had paid his attorney
thirty cents for his work. The small
ness of this sum was mentioned by the
for the prosecution, who de-
nouneed the acceptance of such a. fee
as unprofessional.
t'Well, he only had thirty cents. l |
took all he had,' he answered in ex-
cuse.

mark, answered the objector, If you

We're impressed on him by his trip of
last week visiting the schools of the
Island of Mololai. These schools are
many Of them isolated. The pupils are
for the most part Hawaiians. Super
intendent Babbitt left here last Tues
ady. arriving at Pukoo that night. He
visited the schools at Pukoo, waialua
and Halawa, on the eastern side OF Mo-
lokai, and the schools of Wailau and
Pelekunu on the northern coast. and
the school at Kalaupapa and the
school conducted by the Sisters at the
Bishop Home in the Settlement
IT am very much impressed with the
work the sisters are doing" he said
yesterday. THE public school at Ka-
laupapa win be improved as much as
possible. There are about twenty
eight pupils there, both leprous and
non-leprous children, mostly boys"
From the Settlement Mr. Rabbit
again went TO the eastern end Of the
island and visited first the school at
Kaluaaha. There are about forty pu-
pills here and instruction in domestic
science and manual training will be in
..roduced. There is a teachers cot
tage, not used for that purpose, which
can be utilized. 49,
At Kamalo there are from fifteen to
twenty pupils. A teachers cottage Is
very much needed here and will be
hn.t at once. AT present the teacher
has to live six miles from her school.
At Kaunakakai the school is located
close to the beach and lis very hot
and very dusty in dry weather and
very muddy in wet weather. An ar
rangement will probably be made with
the ranch by which suitable piece
of land mauka can be secured, well
dug and the schooIhouse moved up
where trees and grass can be planted
and the appearance and surroundings
of the school improved.
At Kalae the school is on land own
ed by the Meyers, though the depart
ment has a lot not far away. It is
hoped to exchange lots and to build a
new schoolhouse. the present one be-
ing very old.
At the Halawa school it is intended
to begin instruction in manual train
ing. At Wailau the department owns
three taro patches which are under
lease 1t is intended when the leases
expire to introduce instruction in ag-
riculture. instruction in agriculture
will be introduced wherever it is prac-

woMAN's DIARY IN CASE.

Some weeks ago Mrs London sent
to Poet Sterling her diary of the voy-
age of the Shark, the vessel on which
she and her famous husband and a
cream will be served and music fur
of months ago on a trip around the
world. 1t contains many personal al
lusions about herself, her husband, her
brother-in-law, Captain r. J.. Eames,
Sow and why the latter quit the
Sharks party at Honolulu, the whims.
the quarrels and whatnot of an ocean
voyage in a small craft. 1t was a
gossipy. woman's story. Sterling read
it and reread it. 1t was breezy, re-
freshing, better than a summer novel
perused under a shady tree.
He read it again. 1t was too good
to keep selfishIy to himself. So, sum-
moning a party of intimates, including
Rough Rider Emerson. he read the
diary to one and all. They all had
hearty laugh. It was immense. They
talked over it all the evening long and
in friendly spirits dwelt on London,
his idiosyncraeies, his Shark and the
candor of his wife's diary, a modern,
up-to-date Pepy's diary as they
thought.

Colonel Emerson lost no time in pub
fishing story about the contents of
the diary and took the liberty in his
article of using Mrs. London's first
name of Charmion. When Poet Sterling
was apprised of what Emerson had
done he became very angry and called
Emerson TO account Most of the 9TH
ers who were present when Sterling
read extracts from the diary took the
same view of the situation as did the
poet.
Il demand an apology for the be-
trayal of a gentlemanly confidence"
wrote Sterling TO Emerson.
IF any apology is due it should be
asked for by Jack London was
Emerson's response.
The latter also tried to justify his
position by stating that as the diary
was read before a party of people and
there was no suggestion of the read
ing of the diary being confidential
and secret matter, he had not violated
any confidence, had not outraged the
hospitality Of Sterling and that nobody
had a right to question him in the
matter unless it be London, and he
only on general grounds and not from
a standpoint of anybody's honor being
involved.
London and his wife were apprised
at Honolulu about what Sterling and
his friends consider Emerson's great
ethical wrong. London apparently took
the same view of the matter. for he
lost no time in sending Emerson word:
when we meet again it will be as
enemies
Sterling has also taken the trouble
to write 10 many of his friends who
know Emerson, setting forth the
wrong he thinks the latter did and
asking them TO join him in considering
Emerson hereafter as an utter stran-
ger.
In a Bohemian restaurant downtown,
both before and since the fire, there
were and are group sketches and pic
lures of these three men and num-
Der of their intimates. They represent |
a Jolly crowd, sans any suggestion |
that aught would come TO part them |
but death. Now the friends Of Sterling /
md London are wondering If it would /
NOT be a fitting climax to cali all these /
pictures and sketches in and destroy
hem over the ashes of burnt friend

preme court. a law which tends TO In
crease the cost to the borrower on goods
in warehouses. This decision is that
which has made what Is known as the
Factors Law in Alabama and is in eff
feet as follows: The owner of cotton
having delivered such cotton to some
agent or factor of his own choosing, such
factor. having the right. to negotiate
loans for the owner or to sell the cotton.
takes this cotton to a bank. borrows
money on 1t, or otherwise dlsposes of II,
and fails to account to the owner for tho
full value. Such owner can claim re-
covery from the bank or others having
possession of such cotton, the balance
due to him by the factor. While on It's
face this law would seem TO protect the
producer AGAINST a dishonest agent, the
result is quite different The first result
is that whenever a receipt is issued for
a bale of cotton. being the evidence OF
the thing itself, those who are asked to
loan money upon the goods, which II
covers especially If they are non-resi-
dents of the state may decline to do
for the reason that the title of the goods
does. not. under our law, follow the re-
cept and the lender upon the receipt
may at any time have the goods taken
from him under the law quoted above.
The final result is that 1t Is impossible
to secure money from outside sources on
receipts of Alabama warehouses. conse-
quently competition is largely curtaiied
and the rate paid for loans on stored cot
ton at times unnecessarily high. Our
farmers and merchants should see to II
that our laws are changed so as to make
the warehouse receipt a fully negotiable
instrument and put our people in a posi-
ton to make of their products a collate-
raj which will be good in any money
market of the world.
