AN INCREDIBLE STORY.

II. A. Heen, the young Chinese law
yer who was admitted to the Hawai-
ian bar has written from Shanghai to
his father-in-law, Chas. X. Motley,
saying that Lorrin Andrews, former
Attorney General of Hawaii. and F. NJ.
Brooks. formerly of Honolulu. had fall
ed to pass a REORGANIZATION for the bar
prescribed by the new judge OF the
United States court in Shanghai. Heen
was stduying hard for his own pas
sage. The information about Messrs.
Andrews and Brooks is Incredible. Mr..
Andrews was a practitioner In New
York before coming here, the land OF
his paternal ancestors. He was adj
mitted TO the bar of the Supreme Court
of the United States while Attorney
General OF this Territory. Mr.. Brooks
was a member OF the bar in several
states and territories. and In Honolulu
held his own with the next one.

JAPANESE QUESTION
IN THIS TERRITORY

The Kobe Herald says: 1t is stated
in a telegram of Dec. q from the Mai
nichi's Washington Correspondent that
Mr.. Sargent, Director OF the Colonial
Bureau, who has just returned from his
investigation in Hawaii, has informed
an interviewer that there is no substan-
tial justification for the anti-Japanese
movements in Hawaii. He also stated
that the Japanese government is not
anxious to encourage Japanese immi-
grafton to American territory, as it
fears that great influx of Japanese
would lead to trouble between Japan
and America.
In this connection we may note that
in a recent letter to the Japan Adver-
tiser Mr.. A. NJ. Knapp made the follow
ing statement: "At Honolulu, far
from finding any trace of anti-Japa-
nese feeling, or any foundation for the
absurd newspaper story of Japanese
rising there, no feeling was expressed
save that of regret that the Japanese
immigrants stayed there so short a
time. making the islands mere stop

MISS KROUT'S TALK ON
ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON

The second of Miss Krouts course
of talks on authors was given on FRI
day afternoon at the residence of Mrs.
c. NJ. Cooke, on Beretania street. The
subject discussed was Robert Louis
Stevenson" his life and work.
The weather was propitious, the day
being fine after the long spell of rain,
and very large audience was pres
ent. The lanai was crowded and chairs
We're placed in an adjoining room for
the accommodation of those who could
not find room outside. The ladies' were
in beautiful toilets, and this, with the
surroundings, the fine, well kept gar
dens adjoining the lanai made a very
brilliant scene. A number of gentle-
men had summoned up courage to face
u company in which ladies were GER
tain to be in the majority, and were
interested and attentive listeners
throughout the hour.
Miss Krout introduced her subject
by calling attention to the wide field
of work, both as to matter and scene
of action, which Stevenson's work rep
resented, comprising essay, criticism.
fiction, travel, poetry and even politi-
cal discussion; while the author in his
wandering had ranged from Scotland.
through France, the United States,
Australia and the South Sea Islands.
He had written graphically and SYM
pathetically of all, especially of the
Pacific islands where his life was at
least prolonged, and where he dwelt
happily and at peace.
A sketch was given of his birth in
Edinburgh, Nov. 10. 1850; his education.
his first journeys to France, out of
which came his Voyage in n Canoe"
and the Travels with a Donkey" It
was during this holiday also that he
met Mrs, Osborne, who was staying at
that time In the well-known artist coll
ony, "Barbazon," short distance from
Paris. His marriage to Mrs. Osborne
was pronounced happy and fortunate
for Stevenson. in that the wife proved
a faithful and devoted friend and COM
panion, taking many OF her husbands
burdens upon her own shoulders and
shielding him from the vexations and
intrusions that would have wantonly
wasted his time and his strength.
The narrative OF the return to Eng
land was continued with the second
visit to San Francisco. the cruise
through the South Pacific in the
"casco." including his residence in
Honolulu in 1883. where 1.-THE Master
of Ballantrae" was written.

WHILE WATCHING FLOW
ALPENSTOCKS IGNITE

KAU, January 16.-old Mauna Loa
is doing itself proud A week ago
Wednesday night January 9th), the
eruption occurred and 1t was indeed a
brilliant spectacle that lasted from
1890 to 4:30 a. m. Not a sign of any
thing was seen after that until Satur-
day dhe 12th), when a flow was re-
ported. That night and the next we
could watch Its progress down the
mountain by the reflection in the sky.
At the Volcano House we felt no
shakes, but Kau had over n hundred
on Thursday and Friday and still they
come at intervals. I have my orna-
ments and good china packed away in
| the beds to be safe. On Sunday at
noon, the flow had reached the govern
ment road and burned down our tele-
phone connection, but last night had
not reached the sea. The old natives
here say that Madame Pele never stops
until she takes a sea bath and then
gives herself mighty shake.
On Monday (the 14th), We took a
four-in-hand and drove to within a
hundred feet of the flow. There are
two large streams, one heading into
the big koa forest in Kona and one
over the 1887 flow through Kahuku
ranch. A third has started, but 1 have
not seen It, The one in Kona will
likely do a great deal of damage, the
one on the ranch not very much
should say.
The Kau flow is fifteen miles from
Waiohinu, and we came in sight of 1t
first (Which was after dark, about six
miles the other side of Waiohinu. 1t
was grand to see that great fiery mon
ster winding down the mountain. And
the whole country even at that dis
(tance was as light as day. But every
thing had red glow, like tableau
lights give.
The part over the road, bank
twenty feet high, had cooled and was
quite dark except in the crevices where
there was red glow and now and
again a boulder would fall carrying a
| whole avalanche of small stuff and ex-
posing a great fiery furnace. We
skirted this slow-moving mass and
kept on over the old flow for half a
mile until we came to the main stream
which was estimated to be between
two and three hundred yards wide
with that width of cooled lava on
either side. The middle of the stream
was running at the rate of seven or
eight miles. and when we had climbed
up the side of it Q5 feet), the intense
glare and heat blinded and choked us.
Toward the edges it was darkening and
running slower. Where we stood the
motion was hardly perceptible, but not
so the heat; it was very evident that
our shoes and rubbers We're burning.
Our alpenstocks would catch fire where
they rested.
| 1t has always been wonder to me
how these great boulders got piled up
so high in the aa flows, but now since
/ have seen the thing done they seem
more awe-inspiring than ever. Words
cannot express how grand and at the
same time terrible it all is. I am so
| thankful to have seen 1t.
Another branch started out in this
direction last night. And the whole
place is enveloped in smoke. Y.

LAVA So FLUENT It
SPLASHES LIKE WATER

Senator Palmer p. Woods, writing to
Harry Armitage, gives the following
news from the Mauna Loa eruption up
to Friday morning:
I'VE have only lava flows to create
a little excitement
John Mcguire has just returned
from the flow. He tells me that there
are three flows, all in Kau. The near
est to South Kona is FIVE miles dis
tant.
Mrs Mcguire and party struck out
to see the one nearest Kahuku ranch,
but while they were on the way the
second flow crossed the road just In
time for them to see the whole thing.
II think they were lucky in not be-
ing on the Kau side of the flow before
it crossed the road, as otherwise they
would have had to camp out as best
they could
TT is not pahoehoe flow but an aa
flow. Right in the center of 1t the lava
is so soft that 1t runs like water and
splashes like water, and to see enor-
nous boulders, redhot, go flying by is
a grand sight.
ut is reported that the third flow
has turned toward South Kona. If
this is correct I will wire you so that
you may take the Kinau and land at
Kawaihae.
1.-THE first two flows, 1t is said, have
struck the sea. AS heretofore nobody
cares to go too close to the streams of
lava for fear of being hemmed in.
"P. $3.50 a. m.-Mrs. Mcguire
states that all this mischief from
Madame Pele originates In one crater,
but that all around that neighborhood
blowholes are being made which con-
tribute to the grand scene.
1.-THE display of lightning and the
spouting of lava are so fascinating that
one does not mind going as near to
the river of fire as possible without
allowing it to cut off the line of re-

YOUNG THIEVES GATHERED
UP BY AN ACTIVE POLICE

Gradually the police are ferreting ont
the culprits in many of the small rob-
berries which has been taking place in
Honolulu during the past few months
and are making a cleanup of the
gangs of young law-breakers to whom
much of the thieving has been due.
Yesterday five or six burglaries were
traced up and in all but one the booty
of the thieves was recovered, the
thieves jailed and one receiver of stol-
en- goods put behind the bars. The first
of these robberies took place some
months ago, the latest occurred yes
terday morning.
Yesterday morning Chief Taylor and
Detective Joe Leal secured a confession
from Abraham Lincoln Buckley which
cleared up the disappearance of a purse
and $50 from Chinese store the day
before Christmas. Buckley confessed
to having located the purse while a
charitable woman bought him a neck
tie. He told chum, Manuel Govea,
and watched while the other boy got
away with the goods. The money was
shared up at the merry -go-round.
During the investigation of this case
another was unearthed. the robbery of
IL Shiiese STORE at tne corner OF River
and Vineyard streets, which occurred
on Sunday. Suspicion was directed to-
wards Henry David, alias Joe Cans. a
little native lad. David was arrested
and in his confession. which followed
the first burst Of outraged innocence,
he dragged in a boy named Peter. Pc
ter was accordingly sent for and also
confessed.
His confession contained a reference
to a watch which had been stolen yes
terday. This was something new for
the police to follow up, resulting In the

TWO STEAMERS Off FOR
THE VOLCANO ISLAND

with their decks crowded. the steam
crs Kinau and Mauna Loa departed
yesterday forenoon for the scene OF
the lava flows on Hawaii. The Mauna
Loa, with SIS passengers on her official
list. departed promptly at 10 o'clock.
and half an hour later the Klnau, With
$50 listed as aboard, backed away from
the wharf and got under way for the
same point of interest. The combined
number booked was 23s, but 1t is
thought that sufficiently more were
aboard the vessels to increase the
number OF excursionists considerable
beyond that figure In fact, the streets
of Honolulu for two hours before the
departure of the vessels showed con-
tinuous professions of people, with
dress suit cases and bundles, bound for
either one or the other of the steamers.
The Klnau did not make port until
$3.50 n. m. from her regular run, but
supplies and coal were rushed aboard
her, so that she was able to get under
way an hour after she had locked. 1t
is expected that the vessels will reach
the scene of the lava flows about 2
o'clock this morning and start for Ho-
nolulu about o'clock this afternoon,
arriving here tomorrow morning about
10 o'clock.
If the weather be propitious, the ex-
cursionists will be landed at the par
ticular point where the big flow may
have entered the sea, or else the pas
sengers may be landed at Hoopuloa,
which is likely to be the landing near
est to the large flow. j. A. Kennedy.
the president and general manager of
the company, went on the Mauna Loa
to superintend that part of the ex-
cursion, while Norman e. Gedge of the
company took charge of the larger
party by the Kinau.
The steamer Maui will probably be
dispatched tomorrow afternoon to the
scene of the lava flow, but the book
ing for her will be arranged tomorrow
morning.

MISSIONARY HERALD ON
REV. DR.. h. BINGHAM

The Missionary Herald for January
contains the following: A half century
of missionary life has not burned out
the enthusiasm OF DR.. Hiram Bingham,
who writes from Honolulu, October 81:
II want to tell you how great a day
this is with me, and how full 1t is of
gratitude. Fifty years ago today the
Prudential Committee of the American
Board appointed me as a missionary.
and her who was to become my wife
an assistant missionary, The letter an
nouncing the fact was written by the
Home Secretary on that day. 1t was
short. but to the point. You have
been duly appointed missionary of
the American Board of Commissioners
for Foreign Missions, and designated
to the Micronesian Mission. May the
blessing OF the great Shepherd prepare
you to be blessing to many souls in
those distant isles. Your friend and
brother Do you not imagine that we
were happy mortals? How my dear
one would rejoice 10 celebrate this day
with me, We're she still upon earth. 1t
is very great joy TO me to have been
for full half century under the direc-
ton OF the American Board in my et-
forts TO do what l could toward win
ming this sinful world to the Lord
Jesus Christ. My prayer is that 1 may
die with the harness on. / thank the
Board for their interest in and care for
me so many. many years"
DIR. Bingham's name recalls the splen-
did history OF the Sandwich Islands
Mission and what God wrought through
heroic men. A missionary board is to
be counted truly rich that has such
names among its imperishable assets.

1t has been given out from the Sher-

provisions of the Sunday law, now I'M

forced is in connection with the col

there happens to be steamer arrival
on the first day of the week there
seems no necessity for driving the
laundry carts about town, and all found
so doing, after the hour of nine o'clock
In the morning, will be arrested here

attention to those who leave horses

HAWAIIAN LAW
TO BE AUCTIONED

Hawaiian law is shortly to go under
the auctioneer's hammer. The gov
eminent has always been its own pur-
veyor of the Session Laws of each
Legislature. 1t has considerable
stock of these books on hand, dating
back to the year 1916.
Some of the volumes are rare in sup
ply and there is good deal of demand
for them. Rather than let the books
go in quantities at schedule prices to
collectors or spectators, when at Sec
ondhand they command much higher
figures, 1t has been decided to clear
off the whole stock at public auction.
The sale will be advertised next week.
Sets-of the books will be reserved for

EFFICIENCY OF THE POLICE
REDUCED BY SUPERVISORS

The cut Of $500 in the police ap.
preparations for the month OF Febru.
airy has hit the department hard. In
order to meet the cut made by the
County Supervisors Sheriff Iaukea will
be compelled to rearrange his payrolls
and slash them numerically. The cut
falls upon the rank and file to large
extent. In order to effect the desires
of the Supervisors, Sheriff Iaukea will
be compelled to depend upon the fol-
lowing officers and office force for the
next month:
Six foot officers for each of three
watches, IS;
Two bicycle officers for each watch, 6 !;
One captain;
Three lieutenants:
Three sergeants;
Three receiving station clerks;
Three turkeys;
Two patrol wagon drivers;
One hack inspector;
One police surgeon;
One harbor police;
Eight mounted police.
The Office and detective force will
comprise the following:
One chief of detectives:
One Japanese special and interpreter;
One Chinese special and interpreter;
One Portuguese special and inter
prefer;
One Hawaiian interpreter and court
assistant;
Two court officers;
One armorer;
The Hawaiian gazette., 1907-01-22
One humane officer;
One chief clerk to Sheriff;

One humane officer;
One chief clerk to Sheriff;
One deputy clerk;
One stenographcr;
Country Police: Koolaupoko, 8; Ko-
olauloa, 2; Waialua, 3; waianae, 2;
EVA, 8.
The six foot police for each watch
are expected to patrol the business
district. The small force, in future,
will have restricted beats. Fewer
mounted officers will be seen in the
outer, districts, and each man will have
longer beat to patrol.
Owing to the Portuguese, Hawaiian,
Chinese and Japanese officers being
used about the police station to in
terpret in the district court, as well
as to interpret complaints of the
numerous types of nationaltes appear
ing at the offices daily, the detective
force will be sadly crippled. These
officers are used at all hours of the day
for serving subpoenas, locating wit
nesses and going on various errands
of the department. They are also ex-
pected to lay their hands on criminals
whenever possible.
The Office force has been curtailed
as much as possible. The entire de-
partment will be greatly hampered I'M
der the short payrolls.
In the case of the country police the
Sheriff has retained the same number
but has been compelled to cut salaries.
These officer have to cover great dis
tances and supply their mounts in
traversing their beats.
