MEAD
ON MUNICIPALITIES
THE NEW HONOLULU CHARTER
FORE RESEARCH CLUB.

Prof. George H. Mead, Of the Chi
cago University was the speaker at
the meeting of the Research Club, held
last evening at the residence of r. A.
Lyon in Manoa Valley. His topic was
a timely one-"Recent Municipal Move
ments"-and one in which Honolulu
may find numerous suggestions for
future improvement.
Prof Mead is a strong believer in
the rights of the people in the matter
of public utilities, and the larger duty
of public service corporations and
public franchise owners than has here
tofore maintained in the United States,
but which he maintains is rapidly i'm
proving. Europe, the speaker stated,
is in some things ahead of us in the
way Of public ownership Of street
railway systems, telephone and tele-
graph lines, electric lighting plants,
etc. There is not reason, he declared
why our cities should not manage sue
cessfully their own public utilities, and
in time he predicts, this will be largely
an accomplished fact
In the matter of the recently adopt
ed charter for the new municipality
of Honolulu. Prof Mead found cause
for criticism in the fact that it limits
in no way the FRANCHISE giving pow
ers of the Board of Supervisors. All
franchises gwen by a city, he says
should be adequately safeguarded by
law from possible corrupt officials, and
a just proportion of profit from them
made returnable to the city
Prof Mead touched on the immigra-
ton question. He held that the Anne
rican nation has not suffered from the
admission of Europeans thus far, as we
have been able to assimilate all who
have come. One trouble with our ideas
on the subject is that we have taken
stand that all immigrants coming
here are fleeing from oppression in
their home countries, when for the
most part they have been brought here
or induced to come by capital which
wants cheap labor We have much to
learn, Prof. Mead stated, and there
arc some things we could learn from
the immigrants as well as impart
| knowledge to them.

NEXT RUN OF
THE AUTOMOBILES
NEW RULES BEING PLANNED
WHICH WILL MAKE THE CON-
TEST MORE INTERESTING.

The next automobile run for the Won
Hamm-Y Young trophy will not be held
until the Goth of Novebmer The old
rules will be changed for the run, and
the run will be much more of a success
than the last one, which was a very
undressing one in a good many
ways. Tire trouble will not be counted
in the next run, and Haleiwa will be
the only point of control. If a car
should have any trouble on the way,
the time the car is stopped will have
to be made up so that the car can
reach the point of control on time.
The speed limit will be cut down a
good deal, and the run will have to be
made in good time, although there is
to be no fast racing done 1t may be
that the penalty for breakdowns will
be done away with and the only thing
that will be required is that the cars
arrive within the time limit at Hale
iva. The committee of the Honolulu
Automobile Club in charge Of the race
is composed of Jordan, Brown, Brink
erhoff and Kennedy.

would mean about thirty men with
their families coming here to live.
"The time is coming" Capt. Otwen
stated when the Panama canal will
be finished, and a large number OF
ships will come here and also to Hilo,
and the commercial value of the ISL
ands will be greatly increased
In speaking of the proposed harbor
improvements throughout the islands,
the Captain stated that it would cost
about S1,7O0,OO0 to do everything, and
that 100000 would be spent here, and
of that amount only half had been
used In speaking of the work at Pearl
Harbor Captain Orwell stated that it
would be very unusual if Congress
made any appropriation this year for
the work, as it was rather an off year
for harbor and river improvements
and that it would have to come under
the Army or the Navy if anything was
given.
1T is up to you people here in the
islands to present to Congress some
good, strong reasons backed up with
plenty of them if you expect to get
anything, and as I have said before, 1t
will be very unusual if anything is
done this year. You will have to de-
pend on the Congressman who have
been here if you want anything, back
ed up with your strong reasons. Con-
gress in making the appropriation for
the Hilo breakwater proved willing to
help Hawaii, but you can't expect tc
get something every year"

MOSQUITOES ARE BAD.

WILMINGTON, Del, Aug. 14-Mos-
quitos are playing havoc with the de-
livery of the mails along the shores Of
the Delaware bay in Central Delaware.
It is learned that a dozen rural carriers
who start from Dover, have been seri-
ously attacked by the pests. The in
sects for a week have daily attacked
these carriers and their horses in great
Gwarms. In order to alleviate the suf-
ferings of men and beast it is neces-
sary to plunge into the Delaware for
salt water treatment. There seems to
be no remedy and meanwhile the de-
livery of the mails is hampered.

GIVE A
BIG ENTERTAINMENT
FOUR THOUSAND PEOPLE VISIT
ED THE FOUR BIG CRUISERS
LAST NIGHT.

The boys of the Big Four squadron
last night lavishly entertained several
thousand Honolulu people, giving a
dance on the naval wharf between the
cruisers West Virginia and Pennsyl-
vania The warships were Illuminated
as they had been on the night previous
and the improvised dancing pavilion,
so large that it accommodated at the
most crowded moments nearly four
thousand persons, was beautifully dec
Grated Flags of every nation were
spread on lines overhead, forming a
patchwork awning of maryelous de-
sign, made charming by the play of the
cruisers electric decorations. Refresh
ments were served by attentive blue
jackets who entertained most gallant
ly.
A section of the wharf was roped off
for dancing and the numbers on the
program were dedicated to the Ad-
mirals, the ships, the commanders, to
Hawaii and things Hawaiian, to the
press and to meeting again
The flagship band alternated with a
Hawaiian stringed band and never was
a more delightful evening than that
which the boys of the Navy had chosen
as the occasion to demonstrate their
appreciation of the reception Honolulu
had given them. Cars ran until after
1 o'clock and it was nearly when the
last merrymaker left the wharf and
the men-of-warsmen turned to, to clear
the wharf of its decorations, that moth
ing might be left thereon by daylight.

.OTWELL SPEAKS
OF FEDERAL WORK
THE CAPTAIN TELLS ABOUT
LIGHTHOUSES AND PROSPECTS
OF PEARL HARBOR WORK.

Captain Otwell, Engineer Officer of
the United States Army who is sta
toned here in Honolulu, gave a very
interesting talk yesterday afternoon at
the meeting of the Chamber of Com
merce, about lighthouses here in the
islands,
BY the first of next year the most
powerful light in the Lighthouse Ser
vice will be placed on Makapuu Point,
a light that will be visible on a clear
night at a distance of fifty miles. 1t
will also be strong enough to pierce
an ordinary fog, and the hidden reefs
at Waimanalo where the Manchuria
struck will be well guarded The
light will cost when finished 100000,
the hyper-radaint lens alone costing
$4,000. Another light will be erected
on MoloRai and will cost the same
amount, but will eb classed as a sec
Ond-class light, while the Makapuu
light will be one of the first order.
Lights of the first-class will be built
kahi on the island of Hawaii. Six
beacon lights costing $500 each will
be set up at different points along the
coast, and this year Congress is ex-
pected to vote enough money for about
thirty more of these lights. In addi-
ton to the lighthouses, homes for the
tenders and other buildings will also
be built
Captain Otwelrs address was given
in an informal way, but every one who
had the pleasure of hearing him was
impressed with the way he feels about
the needs of Hawaii In connection
with the new lights, Capt Orwell made
, an announcement that the work on
Makapuu Point will bring about some
| thing that every one has been wishing
! for, and that is around the island road.
For the lights of Honolulu $4,000 had
been appropriated, and out of this $780,
600 would be spent on the front range
| light. The plans for the rear range
! light that will be built on the foot of
Fort street were shown to the people
present. It is a very simple one COM
pared with the plans that had been
drawn in case the Mckinley memorial
fund had been used for the base Of the
light. Captain Orwell hoped that Con-
gress this year would vote $4,000 more
for this light and in the event of its
doing so the light will be much more
ornamental than the present one plan,
ned.
At the present time there is only one
good Kght in the Territory. and thai
is on diamond Head, but Capt. Otwel
stated that he hoped that the efHcien
cy Of Diamond Head and the light a
Barber's Point would be increased il
the near future. Another thing that hi
> thought would interest the people o
, Honolulu would be the coming mex

thorized by Congress to be built, which

WERE
MUCH MIXED UP
EXPERT ABLES REPORTS THAT
HE CAN MAKE NOTHING OF
THEIR BOOKS.

A report was made yesterday by L..
c. Ables, appointed master to look into
the condition of the partnership bust
ness of Wilson & Whitehouse. The
report states that the accounts are so
badly mixed up and imperfect that
the master deems it impossible to make
any ineligible account except through
the oral testimony of the partners,
and he gives up any attempt to draw
off a financial statement
The master was appointed at the re-
quest of w. w .Thayer trustee in
bankruptcy for J. H. Wilson, one OF
the partners in a contracting firm
which included l.. NJ. Whitehouse ana
w w. Bruner, for the purpose of as
certaining if there are any debts from
the partnership due the bankrupt
1t seems that the partnership was
formed in May 1897 There was no
actual investment by any of the mem
bers, and little or no bookkeeping
seems to have been done. The firm
bought on credit on long enough time
to have the contracts which they un-
dertook, pay for the supplies. Except
ing a statement drawn off in February
1898, evidently by an accountant, the
master says that there have been no
records of collections made or debts
paid since.

The baseball game on Saturday be-
tween the Saints and the Picked team
is being looked forward to with a good
deal of interest by all the fans in town.
This will be about the last big game
before the coast series, and every one
will take advantage of the chance to
see not only a good baseball game, but
will also have a chance to help out the
Yacht fund as the gate receipts will
go towards the new cup defender,
Much speculation is being made about
the outcome of the game, and it looks
very much as if the Saints would be
beaten, as Capt. Fernandez is going to
have a team that will be able to play
ball of the best kind. The game will
start at $3.50.

WATCHING OUR BATTLEsH1Ps.

TOXIC, Aug. 2S.-The Mainichi to-
day, while finding no sinister purpose
in the coming Pacific maneuvers of
the American fleet, says that Americas
feeling of weakness in her defense of
the Pacific coast is due to apprehen-
sion of eventual emergencies. In other
words, the United States is imagining
a certain power as an enemy. Though
the maneuvers themselves do not in
spire apprehension, Japan should
closely study the eventual outcome.

BIRDS HAVE A HARD TIME.

Always Dodglng Death and Have Se-
 were Struggle for Living.
 1T was sitting at a window the other day." said bird lover, while half a dozen sparrows were picking furiously and savagely crowding one another round a bit of bread about the size of boys marble. They were hungry. I know that by the way they pushed and showed and elbowed one another around the bread and by the disputes and side fights that were constantly taking place.
 "A carriage rolled by in the street. In an instant every bird took wing and flew up to the branches of a tree over head. After the carriage had gone they came back but had hardly got bite apiece when a boy appeared, and away they all flew Then man, next a woman, after her dog, and after the dog a delivery wagon scared them off. so that ere the crumb disappeared the birds at least dozen times were frightened up into the tree to come back and be scared off again.
 "The incident set me to musing over the vicissitudes of natures life and the comforts men enjoy, but do not ap- preciate Suppose that all the boarders of a first class house had to rush away from the table and run into the third story half dozen times during their dinner, ito keep from being killed, do you think they would have much appe- tite? Suppose you had to bolt out of your room into the street a hundred times a day to save your life, wouldn't living become a burden? Yet the birds are bolting all day long, every day in the year, and their lives. from real or imaginary danger, for the one is as bad as the other.
