LANAI DEAL AND
NEW HIGH SCHOOL

Superintendent of Public Instruction
Babbitt has received from the archi-
| tect, final plans for the new high
school building, to go on the Maertens
property Waikiki of Thomas Square,
acquired by Governor Carter by the
exchange of the Island of Lanai He
showed them to the Governor yester-
day morning, and hopes to have a
duplicate set with specifications in the
hands of the Superintendent of Public
Works today, so that bids for con-
struction can be advertised for ut
once.
But right at this point there may
come pause. The Lanai exchange
may be overturned. L. L. McCand-
less has taken his suit to prevent the
deal, to the Supreme Court of the Uni
ted States by writ of error, and it can
not be known until the court decides
to the contrary, that it will not decide
to overturn the exchange. Under these
circumstances it is considered entirely
unlikely that Governor Frear will al
low the construction of $4,000 build
ing on property about the title of
which there is some doubt
He has not said that he will hold
off the building of the high school un-
til this question is settled. He has
spoken of the possibility of getting
decision early in the term which be-
gins in October. But it is not believed
that he will allow the construction of
the building to begin until a decision
is rendered.
This will be disappointment to Su-
perintendent Babbitt who has been US
ing every. endeavor to get the plans in
such a state of forwardness that the
building operations can begin just as
soon as the money for them is avail
able, which, however, will not be until
after a new bond issue is sold-and
soon enough so that the building can
be used next year. In these hopes
Superintendent Babbitt was encourag-
ed by Governor Carter, but the question
of title is one that it is not believed
Governor Frear will take any chances
on.
The present buildings on the Maer-
tens property will be moved to the
two lots owned by Cecil Brown which
are to be acquired by the Territory in
order to square out the Maertens prop
erty, and will be turned over for use
this year by the Regents for the new
College of Agriculture and Mechanic |
Arts. The moving Of these buildings |
is matter that does not need to |
wait the final determination of the |
title to the Maertens land.
Governor Frear is shortly to take |
up the matter of the transfer to the |
Regents of the College of Agriculture |
of such lands as they need for the |
carrying out of their purposes. The !
questions to be examined and settled |
are largely legal questions and are as
to the power of the Regents to take |
title, and whether the fee simple title |
to the lands shall be vested in them |
or whether they shall be given the use |
of the lands only, the title remaining |
in the Territory, generally.

years on Kauai and succeeded A. T.
Atkinson as SuperinteIldent of Public
Instruction. Since last January he has
been one of the school inspectors,

HAWA|'s AUTOMOBILE
BILL FOR LAST YEAR

Automobiles valued at more than ten
million dollars passed through the
ports of the United States in its for
eign trade in the fiscal year just end
ed. Five and a half million dollars
worth of these were exports and four
and a half million dollars worth i'm
ports. In addition to the five and a
half million dollars worth of automo-
biles exported to foreign countries,
about 100000 worth went to Porto
Rico, $16O,000 worth to Hawaii, and
about $4,000 worth to the Philippines.
The foreign trade in automobiles
shows a rapid growth, especially on
the export side. The value of exports
of automobiles and parts thereof was,
in 1902, a little less than one million
dollars; in 1903, one and quarter mil
lions; in 1904, one and three-quarter
millions; in 1905, two and a half mil
lions; in 1906, three and a half mil
lions; and in 1907, five and a half mil
lions of dollars. On the import side
the value of automobiles brought into
the United States has only within the
last two years been sufficient to JUS
tify the Bureau of Statistics of the
Department of Commerce and Labor
in stating their imports separately, the
value of automobiles imported in the
fiscal year 1906 being s3,S44.O0O, and of
parts thereof 1000; while in 1907 the
value of these vehicles imported was
$4,041 200, and of parts thereof 1901, 900.
Thus the growth in exports of auto
mobiles is much more rapid than that
in imports, and the value of automo-
biles exported seems likely in the near
future to exceed by far the value of
those imported.
France, Italy, the United Kingdom,
and Germany supplied the four mil
lion dollars worth of automobiles i'm
ported during the year, nearly three
million dollars worth of this being
from France, little less than a half
million dollars worth from Italy, and
the remainder about equally divided
between the United Kingdom and
Germany.
The value of automobiles entering
international commerce is now about
ss5.0O0.O0O per annum, and rapidly in
creasing.

NAKED JAP BUMPED
BY CAR IN WA|ALAE

A drunken Japanese, after stripping
off the last vestige of clothing, laid
down and went to sleep on the track
of the Rapid Transit in Waialae Sun
day, the last car coming in coming
within an ace Of running over him.
AS 1t was his life was only saved by
the prompt dropping Of the fender,
which rolled him along until the car
could be brought to stop. The man
was taken to the Queens Hospital,
where it was found that his severest
injury consisted in those places where
the cuticle had been scraped or. He
was quite sober after he had bumped
the bumps on the fender.

ENGINEERS CONDEMN
THE ROWLAND PUMP
(From Sundays Advertiser.)

It is the opinion of several of the
competent engineers of the city, all
but one who have been seen in the
matter. that the Howiand pump at the
Nuuanu reservoir is a failure, fore-
doomed to be such when it was bought.
The pump was never intended by its
land has claimed for it, and all the tink-
ering Howland can do on it will not
remedy matters. The seven thousand
dollars of the public money expended
on the pump and its installation is
another throwing away of the funds of
the public, not that seven thousand is
much III comparison with the other
sums wasted by the department, but
important now because it is the latest
blunder of which the public has been
Informed. The situation is summed up
nicely in the remark of one of the en-
gineers seen yesterday, who said: 1T
seems rather hard On the taxpayers
of this Territory that so much of their
money should be spent in order that
number of young men can get expert
ence"
All competent engineers know that
the practical efficiency of centrifugal
pumps, such as Rowland purchased, is
only from forty to sixty per cent. OF
its rated capacity. The rated capacity
means the theoretical work the pump
can do, with all conditions perfect,
conditions such as are never met with
in the practical operation of any pump.
Now in the Schuyler report it is stated
that if a pump were secured to sup
ply three cubic feet of water on the
sluicing ground certain things could
be done. Rowland read this and jump
ed to the conclusion that he knew
what the expert was talking about, the
result being that he went to Coast
jobber and bought a pump rated at
three cubic feet. He did not know
at the time, and possibly does not
know yet, that such pump could not
be expected to do the work wanted.
He did not figure on the fact that
what he should have bought and what
a competent pump man would have
bought was a pump rated to sup
ply at least six cubic feet of water
per second, at least six because the
water to be lifted is heavy with silt
and other solid matter in suspension.
To get such pump would have cost In
proportion very little more than the
useless pump bought and installed.
This is a concensus of opinion from
some of the leading engineers and
pump operators of Honolulu.
From another jobber Rowland bought
an engine, single-cylinder, horizon
tai gasoline engine of a rated seventy
five horse power, an engine from which
no more than the rated power can be
obtained. Now, by changing pulleys
and monkeying with the pump ma
chinery, Rowland is going to increase

KAEO GETS STILL
ANOTHER REPR|EVE

Governor Frear Sunday issued a
reprieve in the case Of Morito Kaizo,
sentenced to be hung. until October 25.
Kaizo was convicted May %, 1906, and
has already been reprieved several
times, the last reprieve setting Mon
day. August 26. as the date of his exc
cution.
The reasons for these various re-
prieves are that Kaizo has appealed to
the Supreme Court Of the United
States, and the case has not been
heard there yet. His appeal is a test
of the question of whether Territorial
circuit courts have the right to nat.
uralize aliens, some of the members
Of the grand jury which indicted

ENGLAND" When Henry Edward
CHAMPION, Phi. D., professor of zoology,
was delivering his series of lectures
ON the Doctrine of Evolution; It's
Basis and Scope, he gave the following
explanation to a wondering audience
in Cooper Union: "The roast beef of
England is so good because they have
so many old maids over there. The
old maids keep cats. These cats, run
aing free, catch the mice which make
eternal warfare on the humble bees.
The humble bees fertilize the soil
which grows sweet clover, the finest
possible forage for cattle; so you see
it is really due to the old maids that
there is such fine beef in Great Brit
ain. New York Press.
