My curiosity was aroused one
morning on entering the office Of
the deputy cheriff to see him ex-
amining two small sewing machines
of the kind that are made to be
fastened to an ordinary table. Two
iative women were standing near,
anxiously watching him. When I
asked him what he was doing he
explained to- me that the women

somehow got their machines mixed.
They had decided to let him deter.
mine to whom they respectively be-
ionged.
BY what mental process the wo-
men expected the deputy sheriff
to identify each machine would
be hard to determine. bit as they
have a great respect for the ability
of officials, it is probable they
would have found no fault with
any decision rendered.
Owing to the cosmopolitan char
acter of the inhabitants of Homo
lulu, there is a general mixture OF
tongues, and for this reason the
police department must have a
great variety Of detectives and in-
terpreters. The languages spoken
are English, Japanese, Korean,
Chinese, Hawaiian, Portuguese and
Spanish.
Throughout the islanas une pre-
dominating race is Japanese. The
estimated population Of the terri
tory is 100000 including all classes
and races. OF these $4,000 are Jap
anese, who perform the greater
amount of work on the Plantations.
The Japanese born on the islands
are Americans citizens and it is
feared that in time they will be
able to control the politics of the
territory.

ance of Honolulu to indicate that
it differs in form of government
from other cities and this Is
probably why the average visitor
does not come in contact with its
popularity. Every modern conven-
ience is noticeable. The streets are
paved in the most modern way.
The people own their own water
system and a part of their own
lighting system. There is Modern
street car system in the city and
its suburbs, but, owing to the lack
of an instructive city government
the public improvements IN Homo
lulu are paid for by the property
owner in all parts of the island
as well rs by those Of the city
proper.
There is an efficient police de-
partment ir Honolulu and there
are ordinances to govern the
people but the police are directed
by the sheriff and have jurisdic-
tion over all parts of the island.
while the ordinances are made by
the board of supervisors and are
effective IN all parts of the coun-
ty. There IS no chief of police
and no city councilmen or alder
men.
In the present police system
there is one Objectionable feature,

who has no way of enforcing obe-
dience from the man under him.
This has necess:tated the appoint
ment by the sheriff, Arthur M.
Brown, of an assistant sheriff, who
at the present time is Henry Vida.
This appointment was not due to
friction between the sheriff and
deputy, but to a desire ON the
part Of the sheriff to have a
man to assist him over whom he
can exercise legal authority. The
present deputy sheriff IN Honolu-
lu is j.. S. Kalakiela, popular

NURSES BOOST PRICES.
Those in Sioux City Increase Wage
Schedule to $25 Per Week.

Sioux City, April 9.-Prices for
trained nurses have been boosted from
$40 to $25 week by the nurses who
are members of the Sioux City Gradu-
ate Nurses association. There are
forty members in the society but it is
expected that the majority of 100 or
more trained nurses in the city will
soon be members of the association.
This action of the society follows
that taken by the Omaha and Minneap-
oils associations some time ago. The
members believe that they are err
sister nurses in these two cities who
they work with a great deal on outside
cases. There are many times, they
claim. that they are working in the
same home, doing the same work, and
still their wages have been SIS less
than the nurses from either Minneap-
oils or Omaha. The raise i'm price now
places them on an equal basis.
At the meeting held at the home Of
Mrs. John Wohlgemuth, Ill West
Fourth street, delegates to the annual
convention Of the Iowa State Nurses
association. which meets at Ottumwa

Mrs. Myers to Life Imprisonment.
Jefferson City, Mo-, April 81 The
sentences of death imposed upon Mrs.
Aggie Myers Of Kansas City. and Frank
Hoffman. of Higginsville, Mo-, who
were convicted of having murdered the
womans husband. Clarence Myers, In
1904, were yesterday committed by
Governor Folk to imprisonment for life.
They will at once be brought to the
state penitentiary here. Mrs. Myers is
confined In the Clay county jail at Lib
erty and Hoffman is confined In the
Kansas City jail.
The brutality of the murder, the calm
demeanor of Mrs. Myers from the time
of her arrest, nearly three years ago,
and the strenuous efforts thru petitions
and appeals to save the woman from
the gallows, have made the case one
of the most noted In Missouri criminal
history.
The woman had been divorced be-

Disagreement Not Authenticated.

Washington. April 9.-One OF the
food of rumors that have grown out OF
the excitement of the past week be-
cause of the sensational charges made
at the White House concerning a wide
spread conspiracy against the presi-
dent, is that Elihu Root Is to leave the
cabinet. The reason given fol- his re-
ported retirement is that he ib out or
harmony with the administration and
that this has been growing more evi-
dent as the political plans of the pres
ident have developed.
The story goes that Secretary Root
strongly urged the president not to an
swer the Hartman letter, but 10 ignore
it, He Is also said to have been great
ly surprised at the action of the presi-
dent in giving out the remarkable story
of the rich mans conspiracy against
him and his policies. There IS also some
basis In the rumor Of Roots retire.
ment in the fact that the president has
come out so strongly in favor Of Secre-
tary Taft for the next republican NOM
nation. For time 1t looked as II Mr..
Roosevelt wanted Root as his success
or, and It is believed encouraged the
secretary OF state In this idea. II Root
has any presidential aspirations ne
could more consistently foster them
out OF the cabinet than as r member
OF the presidents official family in the
present state Of affairs.
When Mr.. Root consented to come
back to Washington 1t was known that
he did SO very reluctantly ard at the
sacrifice Of large business opportuni-
ties. Mrs. Root Is also known to have
no particular fondness for Washington.
as 1t shows itself in the social life
here. She has refused to extend to
some of the cabinet women that meas
ure of cordially that would naturally
be supposed to exist among the wives
Of officials occupying the same rank.
Secretary's Roots relations with
many of the largest New York finan-
cial interests was that Of attorney and
client, and any one who knows the
cain hardly imagine him enjoying the
that his former associates
are now getting at the hands of the
president While he is one Of the most
trusted advisers of the president on
matters of law and procedure, 1t is
generally understood here that he does
not share many of the radical policies
of the ADMINISTRATION. He has also
been used in very prominent man
ner by the president as spokesman
of the administration, his speech in the
New York governorship campaign
against w. r. Hearst being notable
instance While he and the president
share the same views In regard to such
al extremist as the New York pub
Usher. still there is a wide distance be-
tween them on many Of the policies
now being urged by Roosevelt.
While this rumor of Mr.. Roots re-
tirement cannot be traced to any au-
thentic source, it Is nevertheless being
here and being seriously
discussed in official circles.
